Planes, Trains, and Utah!!!!

 December 14th, My mom, dad, and, I were off to go to one of my many best friends weddings. Her parents bought my ticket and helped plan and did the decorations and flowers in return. It was so fun to have my parents all to myself and enjoy just being with them it was a great treasure and a time I will always treasure. As you can see our flight was early and we were of to go party.

 My dad and I having fun at a lay over in Houston, Texas. Then when we landed in Salt Lake, Utah it had freshly snowed and was GORGEOUS !

  We met up Lisa... she had to work she just started a new job ate some yummy food and then saw some of the sites. The Joseph Smith memorial building and the Salt Lake temple were breath taking. I still can not get around the sacrifices the pioneers made. The work and love they had is simply amazing.

 The early Mormon Tabernacle building was also stunning. They did a acoustic show of how well it was made, a needle was dropped and you could here it loud and clear. It was neat to see all those touches that where simple inspires by Heavenly Father.

 Temple square all lit up and white  with snow was wild to see. It was net to see something so old yet so beautiful.

 For the next couple of days I was busy and working or enjoying the wedding I will post all those tomorrow. Then after the wedding we were off with Linda Wheeler a loved family friend who was up there for a visit with her grandchildren and then joined us for the wedding in Manti.  After all the wedding stuff was over we picked up her grandchildren and took them to go see down town. Which ended up to be a wild idea because there was a free concert with David Archuleta and it was unexplainable  how many people there were. So we saw some stuff and booked it back home.

 We rode the Trax back to where ou car was parked and it was fun!

 It was insane to drive on the highway and see temple after temple.  With in miles from one another. Oh, I dreamed of just being able to jump in the car and see a temple and do some work. I was soooo jealous!

 Then we were off to go home and I was beyond ready to see my little ones. On the trip home dad had bought a new book. The biography of President Monson and soon we were being questioned about his life. My dad is adorable!

  The view from the plan was neat!

 Then when I came home Aaron and the kids had left a poster and some pictures for me. It was so cute! I have a wonderful husband.

 There was also a sleepy girl waiting up and one messy house. Best of all I got to cuddle and love my babies and my man!

Family and Picture magic!

 December 12th we were lucky enough to have my good friend and Buisness buddy  over at Jarvis Photography to take our family pictures fot this year. They were  way- way better than  we ever expected. She managed to get everyones personalities perfectly. I LOVE them!

This is the face that greets me when Harris is coming to tell me that he did a "No-No". I love that Katheryn captured this face.

I love those Baby Blues!

 Abi danced and twirled sometimes she was even  practically on her head.

 I love that little face! He is handsome like his daddy!

 He found a little wire one the ground and then  chased everyone like is was a snake. He is all boy.

We like to have some fun!

 Abi picked both shoes........ of course they were PINK!

  All I  have to say is Aaron better get ready, This pretty girl is going to be chased  by the boys all the time!

 This is one of my favorite pictures. I love to catch her all snuggled up with daddy! It pretty much melts my heart to watch Aaron with our babies. I love my family!

Thanks.......

I just wanted to tell everyone thanks. Most of you know that I had another surgery and I just wanted to tell everyone how lucky I am to have such wonderful friends.  Thanks for the Yummy dinners and delightful sweets, Thanks for your prayers, and thanks for all the cards and company.  I had some great babysitters Becky and Casey. I do not know what I would have done without all of you. I am blessed to have this crazy leg because I always have a reminder of how blessed I really am. I love you all!!!!!

MY Mam-Maws house

j

  As you all know I am really a lucky lady. I have a amazing life with amazing people in it. MY Mam-Maw was to me one of the most amazing women ever.  She was fun and loving and she always smelled delightful. When I think of her I get happy. When I was little we moved to Florida for dads work but I was born in Virginia and that is were my moms family all is. So, for the summer we would get to go up to Virginia and stay with our family. I ALWAYS stayed at mam-maw's. It is my happy place. So when we went to Virginia last week I wanted to go to her old house and get a picture of my children on her front porch.  Everyone agreed we drove there and I got out, knocked on the front door..... crying. I pretty much begged her to take a picture and ended up that she was friends with my Mam-Maw and Papa. She shared some fun things with us and it was amazing!

 It changed it used to be red with white trim.

 My and Aunt Kathy and mom  were so cute. I watched them as the checked it out and I could tell all the memories that were coming. We all cried and Laughed. It was really a great day! I think Mam-Maw would have loved us being there and remembering the good things in life!

 Harris was most in love with the big swing and played and giggled while we all were emotional wrecks! He was a typical boy!

 The house....  when we would come up to visit I always remember her waiting inside in front of the big window. I can still see her there in my head.

 

 Across the street was a jiffy store called " the little giant" and I would do chores and at the end of the week get money and walk across the street to get candy.

I know this ditch seems like a odd thing to show but my favorite part of the walk was the ditch. Mam-Maw always made things up so that we could jump over it. I could have been a alligator or a Pirate. It was neat to watch my mom jump over that ditch as a mam-maw to my children.

It was a great day! After the emotional day we all came home to Aunt Kathy's and Abigail said she wanted to play "Mother May I?" Everyone volunteered and played.  I was the mother  and by the end Leigh had done beautiful ballet leaps, mom had done some giddy upped  like a horse, Jennifer had waddled like a penguin, and Aunt Kathy had twirled like a princess. It was soooo funny. The best part is I think Abi will always remember this trip and hopefully love Virginia like I do.

I am thankful for..................

 My HUBBY......

 I am thankful for Aaron who brings me such love a happiness. I have so much to be thankful to him for. He works hard, sacrifices, and loves us unconditionally. He is my rock the one I depend on the most in this world. I am thankful he is so sexy and makes me giggle like I am a giddy teenager. I am thankful for every moment with him. I am thankful he is a unbelievable father. We are lucky!

 Temples.......

The reason is simple. The people I love most in this world get to be with me forever  if I live a worthy life. How lucky am I to be able to take advantage of a temple whenever I want?

Even more I am lucky to be married in the temple and know and FEEL daily the blessings that come from it.

 FALL....

 I love fall. To me it means happiness. I love the colors and the simplicity of looking at something so amazing and knowing that My heavenly Father is amazing. That every gorgeous thing in this world also serves a purpose. I love the colors and the brightness of fall. It is just BEAUTIFUL!

DANCING.......

I love pumping up the music and dancing with my little ones. I love to watch as they smile and laugh at something so simple. I also love dancing because to me letting loose and dancing my bum off is the one thing that relieves stress and makes me smile.

 My feet up with painted toes.....

Seems so silly but I love to have my toes painted and relaxing. If Aaron is next to me it is as close to perfect as it gets in my opinion.

 FRIENDS....

I am lucky to have some unbelievable friends. They are great to me and there whenever I need them. Friends who are there to celebrate and enjoy the moments in my life that I hold dear and I am blessed to share those same experiences in their lives.

Pajamas.......

 I love Pajamas. I think if I was allowed I would live in them. I love mornings that are long where we get the play and cuddle in our pajamas before our day gets started.

 

My Talents......

I am so thankful for my talents. I am lucky to have a lot that I love and hold close to my heart. I love looking at a brides face as I show her all the beautiful things I made just for her. I am thankful to have talents that encourage me to be appreciative and give me encourage my self worth not only as a wife and mother but as a woman and daughter of God.

  MY FAMILY.....

Of course these things are not in order because I am most thankful for them. From being a wife and mother I am lucky enough to finally really understand what it means to love. Sometimes it is a close to perfect day where I love every second and sometimes it is a day where I am thankful to have a bed at the end of the day to literally fall into. Either way though my last thought is always about my family. I am most thankful for them!

 HARRIS......

Harris makes me smile constantly. The poor kid spends have his day in time out because when he sets his mind to something nothing will stop the kid from doing it. I mean nothing! I am thankful also for a wall to have time out at.

ABIGAIL.....

Abi is my BEST friend and my BEST helper. She is a whistle while you work little girl. She is always happy and LOVES her brother and family unconditional. She loves to learn and LOVES to cuddle.

 A CLEAN HOUSE.......

I love the feeling of working all day and then finally sitting down to  realize I love my home. I love the wild colors, the old furniture, and the photos that make it feel like home. I love to know it is ours and that my husband works hard for us to have a home we love.

I just wanted to be sure to be thankful this week and share with everyone I love the things I am most thankful for. I hope you all have a Happy and fun holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Jammes family!
