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!!

TAVACI Albie is in a singing group called Tavaci with her cousins, Alayna and Mailee. Albie just loves it, this calss is so up her alley, she loves singing and dancing and this group puts it all together and they have a blast. Thanks to Marcy, the kids love you!!










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.









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!!!!





Haylie Turns 2






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!!







FIRST NIGHT 2009






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!
