New Years Eve

On New Years Eve we celebrated with friends and family. Kennedy planned a little get together where we played games and had lots of food. Come 9:00 we toasted the New Year and put the kids to bed. Kennedy thought once again that she had stayed up to ring in the new year. A good time was had by all.

We had a talent show, we sang songs, we watched Mr. Kruger's Christams and read The Christmas Orange. This year for Christmas Kennedy got Pj's from Grandma Evans and also from Grandpa and Grandma Gibbons and she got Zhu Zhu pets from Santa. Khloe also got Pj's from both Grandma Evans and Grandpa and Grandma Gibbons and a doll and stroller from Santa. Jaxon also got Pj's and a firetruck from Santa.

The kids has a great time playing games and winning prizes. Then we had our very own Fall Festival put on by Kennedy our guests included Grandma and Grandpa Gibbons, GG and Grandma Evans, Aunt Amy, Jansen and Madison. We played pin the nose on the pumpkin, basketball ball toss, bean bag toss and we had a fishing pond complete with prizes. We then went to the Trunk or Treat at the church where this time Khloe went as a Care Bear. We got lots of candy and had a great time. The last time Kennedy had to dress up for school and the annual costume parade and her class party. We had a great time this Halloween.

Things have been changing around the Gibbons house. First Kennedy learned to ride a bike. She has found a new since of freedom and is loving going on bike rides with Bowdy.

The 24th this year was fun and busy as always. We were lucky enough to be able to bless Jaxon while we had lots of family in town. Jaxon was also able to be blessed in the same blessing outfit that his Dad was blessed in I thought that was very special. Melodie and Lyle were here from Texas and Aubrey and the kids were here from Phoenix. Candice and baby Paislee came up from St. Johns.

Uncle Shane and Aunt Selina and their family came. My mom and Joes kids because they were staying with her and GG as well as Mark aka Grandpa were all there as well.

This year was a special fathers day becasue it was the day we brought our little Jaxon home from he hospital. I felt a little bad because we did not really get to spoil dad like we wanted to. Kennedy had planned a party in her room that she had decorated and my mom helped the girls make a cake. We are sure greatful for David he is the greatest dad. He makes his kiddos feel speical and always makes time for them we are so happy that he takes such good care of us, We love you David!

2011-07-16T18:08:00.000-07:00

Jaxon David Gibbons Arrives

2011-06-26T15:20:00.000-07:00

We are so excited that Jaxon David Gibbons has arrived. Jaxon was born on June 17th at 3:43 am. He was 7. lbs 15 oz. and was 19 in. long. We had a Doctors appointment on Thursday June 16th, one day past my due date. The doctor decided to srtip my membraines and then told me to check into the hospital at 3:30 that same afternoon. The hospital was very busy that day so we waited in triage for a long time. Around 10:30 the doctor came and broke my water from there things progressed pretty fast. I almost did not get my epidural because of an emergency C-cection that was happening and so the anesthesioligist was busy by the time they came to give me the epidural I was dialated to an 8, by the time they were done I was dialated to a 10 and it was time to start pushing. The pushing lasted about 45 minutes, which has been the longest I have had to push thank heavens I had the epidural. I am just so happy that Jaxon is here and healthy. He was born with an extra thumb like I had but that will be removed probably in the next year. Happy Birthday Jaxon!

I love how the room turned out. David painted everything. He just looked at the bedspreads and painted to match. I really love it.

The kitty play

Mothers day this year was very special. Kennedy planned all kinds of things. She made a special breakfast and let me sleep in. She let me take a nap and a walk. Kennedy also planned a play which she worked on all week it was about a kitty that lived in the jungle. It was very cute. David and his dad made a nice dinner of grilled chicken and twice baked potato's. We had dinner with my mom and grandma and Davids parents. It was a great and special day. I am so great full for my mom she is such a strong woman and I love her so much.

Kennedy Lost Her First Tooth!

2011-05-11T15:12:00.000-07:00

Kennedy has had a loose tooth for a few weeks and a tooth growing in behind it. Well a few days ago David tried to pull it out and Kennedy freaked out and would not let him do it. So Kennedy and Khloe were playing around on the floor and Khloe knocked it right out. Kennedy was so excited she kept thanking Khloe for knocking her tooth out. She was also thrilled when the tooth fairy brought her 2 whole dollars. I can not believe that she has lost her first tooth. It makes me think how fast time really goes.

New Car

2011-05-11T14:37:00.000-07:00

We have been looking for a mini van for a little over a year and we finally got one. It is a Chevy Uplander and I am loving it. It has a DVD player (which I really could not care less about but it is the girls favorite thing) and just so much room. I love how easy it is to fit everyone in it. We sold our Ford Taurus to Brittnay Beverage Gibbons since she is graduating from high school she needed a car. I am going to miss that car it was a great little car for our family but now we are going to out grow it. So excited. We are loving it!

We spent Thanksgiving this year in Las Vegas with Joe and Sarah and the kids.
The kids and I drove up on Tuesday with my mom and my grandma. David came up later that night after work. We had a great time. The kids loved swimming in Uncle Joes pool. Which he heated for us so it felt like a bathtub I have to say we adults loved it to. We drove up to St. George on Wednesday to visit Grandma Belle we stayed to night and got to visit with lots of David's family who we had not seen in years. On Thursday we drove back to Las Vegas for a very big Thanksgiving dinner. Then on Black Friday Selina, Sarah and myself went shopping at 4:30am we had lots of fun. Thanksgiving was fun but thoughts of my dad made me sad. I guess all the holidays will be a little rough this year. But we had fun remembering him and thinking of times of old. I have so much to be Thankful this year. We are so Thankful for the gospel and for the plan of salvation which brings so much comfort into our lives. We are so grateful for family and the love and support they give us!

We Are Having a Baby!

2010-11-03T14:59:00.000-07:00

Yes it is true WE ARE HAVING A BABY! I am in such shock. Don't get me wrong we were trying and I am THRILLED. However it always has taken us so long. And after having to have fertility treatments with Khloe we just assumed it would take forever and maybe even more fertility treatments. So to say the least we are surprised and happy. Also to add to the surprise Starla is also pregnant. yes after 7 years she got pregnant and we are both due in June. We could not be more happy. It makes me think my dad is up there making things happen. I like to think that he is with our children the we have not met yet. Good times!

Halloween

2010-11-03T12:11:00.000-07:00

This year for Halloween we had a Witch a Flower and the King (Elvis that is) There were lots of activities this year. It all started with Kennedy's Kindergarden party where they watched a movie ate snacks and then got to play outside. I was glad that I got to go and see her having so much fun with her class. Next was the School carnival. We helped with the bean bag toss because the kindergarden was in charge and we played Bingo, went fishing, entered the pumpkin carving contest (we got robbed we totally should have won) and ate Navajo Tacos (YUM). The next day we had the Fall Festival at the church. We had dart throwing, musical chairs, fish pond, digging in the leaves for prizes, bean bag toss and lots of games then there was a pie contest and a Chili contest I got to judge the pie and David got to judge the Chili then there was a potluck and finally the Trunk or treat. It was a busy few days but the girls had lots of fun and so did us old parents.

Balloon Festival 2010

2010-11-03T11:31:00.000-07:00

This year David, Kennedy, Khloe and myself all went to the Albuquerque Balloon Festival for the first time. It is hard to believe that we have never been to the festival before because we have lived here for so long. We went over the night before and stayed in a Hotel we got up at 4:30 and went to the park and ride where we then went to balloon park. Kennedy was really scared of the balloons at first but once she warmed up she loved them. Khloe on the other hand just loved them she kept pointing and smiling. We went with Grandma and Grandpa Gibbons and Uncle John and Aunt Candice and Uncle Ty. We had a great time and I hope we can go again in the future!

Khloe was not to happy at 4:30 in the morning.

The girls loved this little place in the hotel

Man Trip 2010!

2010-09-16T09:19:00.000-07:00

This year for the "Man Trip" all the guys (Mike Smith, Joe, Shane, Carl and David) packed up and headed to Pittsburgh for the yearly NFL football game. The game they watched this year was the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Atlanta Falcons the Steelers won in overtime. The guys had a great time watching football eating and just hanging out. Everyone commented that the trip was not the same without my dad and Tom. Last year when choosing where to go this year for the trip my Dad put Pittsburgh in the hat and it was the place drawn I wish he could have been there. Next year the guys are off the New Orleans. Should be fun!

David had to leave at 2:30 am for his flight out! That is way to early

2010-09-15T14:05:00.000-07:00

We went to St. Johns for the weekend a couple of weeks ago to visit Candice and Ty. We went on a Friday and sayed the night. We got to ride horses and play games. We had a great time. Kennedy and Khloe both loved the horse. Kennedy was a little afaird at first but once she got on she loved it. We are so happy that Candice and Ty live close by!

Kennedy's 1st day of Kindergarden

2010-08-24T13:02:00.000-07:00

Kennedy had a great first day of Kindergarden. She is in Mrs. Michelle Tietjen's class and she loves it. Her class has 20 students and 15 are girls only 5 are boys. So far she has had fun getting to know the kids in her class and her teacher. I think it is going to be a great school year!

24th of July Celebration

2010-08-21T09:21:00.000-07:00

The 24th of July this year was lots of fun. Bill and Julie Ctibor came to help
David with the band. Charro played again for the Rodeo dance which was good
and the band sounded great of course. This year Kennedy was in a dance during the
parade she practiced for a few weeks and worked hard to learn her dance. She did a great job
and looked so cute. Kennedy also participated in the Rodeo she rode a stick horse and did the barrels the flag race and the goat touch. David and I were also in a play this year. The name of the play was "Desperate old women." David was the hero named Fairfax and I was the heroine named Miss Lil. I did not get any pictures of this (to bad). Pretty crazy that another 24th has come and gone but good times!

Great action shot

The 4th of July was on Sunday this year so we had a little
gathering at my moms house. We lit our fireworks and
had some dessert. Other than that the day was quiet. Khloe went
to bed early so we lit a few for her to see then we put her to bed
and went over to my moms (she only lives 100yards away and
we took the monitor) after the best fireworks show anybody has ever
seen we just came home. Good Times!

In Colorado this year we had a blast! We rented a boat and went out on the lake. We rented a paddle boat. We went to Durango and went River Rafting.Which Kennedy did not so much love as you will see. We spent the nights around the camp fire and the days lazing around. We missed my dad. This was his favorite place to go. Everywhere we went I thought of him. but we did have a good time and hopefully we will return next year!

Fathers day this year was a little hard for me. I missed my dad a ton. I just could not get over the fact that he was not here. However, I think that David had a good Fathers day. He got to sleep in and have breakfast in bed which consisted of toast, yes toast that is what he requested. However I have to say that I had made homebread the day before. After church we went to St. Johns to Candice and Ty's house for a nice BBQ. All in all a good day. We love you David you are the best daddy in the whole wide world and if you don't believe me just ask Kennedy and Khloe.

Kennedy made the day special with lots of cards and love

Kennedy also got toast in our bed (yes there were crumbs everywhere)

Candice and Ty got married on June 3rd 2010 in the Snowflake Arizona Temple
They got married at 8:30 in the morning so the night before we met up with the Pino's
in Holbroke and stayed the night. We had fun visiting and swimming. The next morning we went to the temple and it was so beautiful. After the temple we drove to St. Johns for a nice lunch. Then we had a reception in Ramah on Friday the 4th and a reception in St. Johns on the 5th. It was crazy busy but everything turned out great! We are so excited for Candice and Ty and we are glad that we got to be part of their special day.

2010-05-27T11:17:00.000-07:00

Pre-school is out for summer! I can not believe that Kennedy's year of pre-school
is over. I really can not believe that she will be in Kindergarten next year. This year for the end of the year party the pre-school had a pool party. They got to have a picnic lunch and swim and also watch a movie. Kennedy had a great year. She learned a lot. She can write all of her letters and knows most of there sounds. She is great at writing her name and her teacher said she was very well behaved. I am so proud of her she had a great year. But we are sooo excited for summer!

They made me lots of cards and I also got a steamer. Which I am really loving! We had dinner at Uncle Toms and Aunt Christina's with my mom and my grandma. It was a very nice day. Kennedy was very cute this year they had bought a card that you could record a message in and she wanted to come show me the message but I was "sleeping in" so David said Kennedy please wait and Kennedy said "I am just trying to make this the best mothers day ever and you won't let me. " She was very into making the day special and she really did. I am so thankful for my beautiful girls who I love so very much and for David who is so helpful. It was a great Mothers Day
