Camping in the Winter

So my parents got the girls some sleeping bags for Christmas and so the girls have been wanting to go camping so they could use them. So for family night we built a tent in the front room and got out their sleeping bags. We left the front open so they could watch a movie and they even ate marshmallows. It was pretty stinkin cute. Travis even slept out there with them all night.


They were out cold. Oh the days when we could sleep anywhere and it would be comfortable!

Megan Raye Hillman

Megan Raye Hillman was born on December 29th, 2009 at 2:04 PM and weighed 8lbs 11oz and was 21 1/2" long. She was born by C-Section which was no fun at all but everything turned out OK so that was good.




Dad and his new sweet girl. Boy does he have his hands full or what with a house full of girls!Dad and all his girls. We couldn't get them to all look at the same time so this was the best we got.All the girls together. Boy Maddie doesn't look excited at all does she?All ready to go home. We stayed in the hospital until Friday morning because of the C-Section.My parents came down for a few days too. This is all of their grandaughters being that everyone else in the family just has boys. We don't know how to mix it up at all. Oh well. We love them anyways!My little sister Whitney also came and the rest of the pictures on the post she took. Thanks Whitney!

My Little Singer

McKenna sang at our Ward Christmas party a couple of weeks ago and did soooo good. I love when she sings. The video isn't the best quality but hey you get the idea. Oh and please ignore the GIANT pregnant lady in it. She wasn't supposed to be captured in the video. Oh well I guess, I really wanted you to see McKenna sing though. You might have to turn your computer up to hear it very good. Anywho, I was so proud of her, she has no fear at all! You will want to go to the bottom of the page and turn off the music player first before you try to listen. Enjoy!

Fun FHE!

Last night for FHE we had a really fun treat! A friend of our invited us out to his house to ride a train that he has spent the last 4 years building! It was great. He has this super cute little depot you go through to get on the train. It's kind of dark but you get the idea. It was adorable!


Then once we were all on the train, he was playing the Polar Express while we were riding in a toasty warm train car. You can see the little fireplace in the corner that keeps it warm.
And of course McKenna found a little friend right off the bat. This little boy was a son of our friend who owns it.

Here is the girls with our conductor Shane! Thanks again soooo much for the fun night!

I'm the worst blogger ever!!!

So I have been the absolute worst blogger as of late so here is a post of our Thanksgiving weekend. Travis brother Shane came up from Utah and he and McKenna were fast friends.


We had tons of yummy food over at Travis' parents house. We ate a ton and just hang out. It was great.

And of course we had to do a little clay pigeon shooting. It's not Thanksgiving without it!
Then on Saturday we went up to the hills to get our tree! We found the perfect one and had fun doing a little snowmobiling at the same time.
