You Have to See This!
Okay so get ready for this...
We got home from church today and while we were pulling into the driveway I said, "Mark, what is that on our door?" He responded, " It looks like a birds nest." I told him that it couldn't be, that just yesterday I pulled a bunch of stuff off of the wreath that the wind had blown up there, but when we went inside and opened up the door, sure enough there was a full blown birds nest in the middle of our famous "pink" (it used to be red, the sun bleached it pink, but everyone asks me where I got a pink wreath from). Sorry for all of you bird lovers, but I had Mark take it down, I couldn't have birds being hatched on my front door. What would have attracted them to my front door? I thought this was crazy I had to get a picture of, I know I haven't posted for quite a while, but what a perfect post to start back up on.

Catching up...
Mark turns 30!!
I can't believe we are 30 already!! Where does time go? Mark turned 30 back in December and I am sneaking up on that day rather quickly, I have 3 more days to enjoy my 20's. Well, all I can say is we have been blessed. We have 3 amazing children and we are happy. Isn't that all that really matters anyway? Happy Birthday Mark, I love you!!
Haylie got a dream kitchen! All the kids were so excited to see it, Santa had the kitchen all put together so when the kids came downstairs they all ran to that and started playing with it. Santa knew just what they wanted. Since then Haylie loves her kitchen and she plays with it every day! I love all the details to it, it even ahs a wood floor and a table that came with it.
Garrett got a basketball game, a Lightning McQueen race track, and some other toys, he just asked for a "Suprise" for Christmas, so he was so excited.
Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for coming over Christmas morning and watching the kids open presents. It makes it fun to be around family during the holidays!!
This was Christmas Eve and Grandma Raine's house. Each year we open up one present on Christmas Eve which is pajamas.. This year grandma picked all the pj's out by herself, usually she gets help from atleast one of us, but as you can tell all of our pajamas are onesies.... yes, I said onesies, I think that for next year one of us better step up adn find some cute pajama's before mom finds some "Cute" ones again!! Now, why didn't the guys get onesies? Maybe next year!!!!
We were just recooperating from the holidays and being sick so on Haylie's actual birthday (DEC 29th) we went to Brick Oven for dinner then had cake and ice cream with the family, then a week later when we were all feeling better we had the cousins over for cake and ice-cream and more presents!! I can't believe my baby is already 2, she is getting so big, I love her so much!!! I think she rules the family, whatever Haylie wants, Haylie gets!! How can you say no to those big puppy dog eyes??
Here we are doing the spatting machine, it used to be a tradition in the Tuttle house, so we are trying to bring it back, the kids love it!!
Mark had to work on New Year's Eve until 9:00 pm so I packed the kids up, grabbed some pizza and had our party at the office. GREAT FUN! Then our friends from work said they were going to go the the First Night at the mall and watch fireworks. We thought that sounded fun so we headed to the mall where Mark and Brent stood in line for the kids to have a balloon animal made for close to 2 hours. the crazy part was the girls wanted a necklace when they got up there which took the guy about 10 seconds to make because he blew up one balloon then tied in a knot and called it a necklace. Only dad's would stand in line for 2 hours for one balloon. Thanks Mark!! While they were in line we watched the fireworks and had the kid's faces painted. After they got their balloons we played games and danced the night away. It was quite fun, I can't believe I've never really heard of First Night before. I would definately do it again!
Haylie was a princess!!
Garrett was spiderman!!
Albie was a BYU cheerleader!

Christmas 2008
We had a great Christmas this year, it seems Santa found us and spoiled us!! the only think that brought Christmas down a little bit was the fact Mark and I both ended up getting the flu on Christmas Eve so we were out all day Christmas. We still were able to have a great Christmas, thanks to all the help watching our kids!! The main thing Albie wanted for Christmas this year was an art set, she must have been good this past year because she got her art set along with a bunch of other things. She seemed to have a great Christmas.

It's about time!!!
The Disney Cruise...what can I say, it was the BEST vacation ever!!! thanks to the Burtons and Alexanders for letting us come with you. We loved every second of it!!!(I'm sorry I don't really know how to work my camera very wel so some of the pictures have glares on them, and I uplaoded them wrong so it starts at the end of the vacation and ends at the beginning of the vacation, oh well, at least I'm blogging, I know it's been a while!!!)
On the BOAT HOTEL the kids get to go to KIDS CLUB, it's where the kids would go and have games and activities so that mom and dad come have their own time together. Garrett never wanted to leave it, befor ehe would go to bed he would always ask if he could go to KIDS CLUB tommarrow. Albie liked it too, but not as much as Garrett. IT was open from 6:00am until 12:00 midnight. Have fun parents!!!!
The characters were all over the boat and DISNEY"S VERY OWN ISLAND!!! By the end of the cruise Garrett was wanting his picture taken with every character he saw, the only one he wasn't ableto get was with DAISY, I don't think he ever knew who DAISY was before this trip.
This was part of CASTAWAY CAY which is the DISNEY ISLAND, it was the best part, perfect beaches, perfect food, (all you could eat cookie dough ice-cream!), perfect entertainment (snorkeling, bike rides, massages, KIDS CLUB, soaking in the sun on the beach, hair braiding).
Dressing up for dinner was always fun, one night we had a "DRESS UP" night where the girls wore their PRINCESS dresses, another night we had PIRATE night where Garrett wore his PIRATE costume. Every night after dinner there would be a big show in the the theatre. All I can say is that DISNEY knows how to put on a good show.
NASSAU- our 1st stop, we went off the boat for a few minutes to look at the shops, but then got back on the boat and lounged by the pool and ate!!
There was always a party going on, the kids liked to get in to it!!
We had a PRE-VACATION before the cruise. We spent a day at BLIZZARD BEACH one of DISNEY'S own water parks, and the another day at ISLANDS of ADVENTURE and UNIVERSAL STUDIOS. The perfect PRE-VACATION!!!
This is us at the airport before we left, we were so excitied. We had the best vacation, we missed our little Haylie, but know she was well taken care of, so thank
you to all those whose watched after her, THANK YOU!! All I can say it that if you can ALL of you should try to do this vacation sometime, it was so fun for the kids and the adults!! I beleive it is safe to say that the HOLT clan is officially DISNEY FANS!!!!
