Here are the pictures I promised everyone. Cortney sent them to me today and I am so grateful she took some for me. Thanks CORT!! There are some that are from earlier in December when we went to watch Nic's parents sing at the temple but anyhow here they are enjoy!!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. I know we did. Nic loved his XBOX 360 and played his new game guitar hero all day pretty much. We barely got him to stop to eat!! lol! I got a gorgeous coach purse (thanks Kristy). Taya got all kids of fun things. She got a kitchen and a baby care center. Loves them both!! Noah's ark little people.... and so so much more. We had a wonderful Christmas. Thank you all for everything!! I will post pictures when I get them... I forgot my camera at home!! I know sad day!! But Cort took lots so they will be up soon!!

We did not forget the true meaning of Christmas. We are so thankful for our Savior and His church. We are thankful for His birth and His perfect example. We love him very much and are trying very hard to live in a way so that we can be with him again, Azure too. I missed my Azure this year. Christmas just wasn't the same. I am so thankful for the many found memories I have of her. Taya loves to look at pictures of Azure and if you ask her to say Azure she says, "Azzzzeee" It is so cute and I know Azure loves hearing it. Brian and Ginger are engaged. Ginger is the girl Brian has been dating. We are happy he found some one and truly wish them all the happiness in the world. Congrats guys!!

Grandma got ran over... wait a min.

Ok before Azure passed away she was at my parents house watching conference. After the first session was over she told my Grandma Bowers that the only Christmas present she wanted was to see my Grandma on the four wheeler. Any how after Grandma got on it Azure decided it would be funny to have her run over my dad wearing Santa's coat. You can see Azure in the background with the video camera. HA! HA! Man I miss her and her crazy sense of humor!

FIRST TIME IN THE SNOW!!

So Taya went up north with my brother, Ben, last weekend. Nic was going up to go snowboarding and I had to work so I decided to send her to see Grandma and Grandpa Bigler! It snowed up north and so Taya got to go out and play in the snow. I made sure that they knew I had to have pictures, especially since I wasn't going to be there to see it myself. Anyway, she had a lot of fun and looked pretty darn cute!! Kati and her played in the snow and she brushed the snow off of Kati when she got thrown in it by the boys. I am sad I missed it but I am very glad they got pictures! Anyway, here they are!!

Update

Hello Everyone!! I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving. I know we did. It was a hard one without Azure but it still was wonderful to be around the family. It was the first time that Deni and Brett's family has come to Arizona for Thanksgiving! So we laughed and cried and had a wonderful time. We had family pictures taken. Mom wanted Azure in them and so she was photo shopped in a few of them. We dearly miss Azure and it still very hard to believe she is gone. We all felt her near us Thanksgiving day. I think she knew how much we needed her there.

Nic and I moved into our new house in Queen Creek. We love it. We are all unpacked just have a few projects that need to get done plus painting the house. We love it! We are close to Lori and Jared and very close to Amanda and David Hall!! We also got a dog!! His name is Hammie. Taya and Nic love him! I probably would like him alot more if he didn't pee on my new carpet!! AARG!! But he's getting better!! We are excited for Christmas!! It is such a special time of the year. We love all of you and hope all is well!! Till Next time!!
