Utah Fun & A Happy Birthday to my Hubby!!!

We had such a fun time spending a week in Utah with some of our family and friends. We wish we lived closer to all of these great friends of ours. Here are just a few pictures in no particular order of our eventful week. While we were in Utah we celebrated Wyatt's 27th Birthday with friends and family. Thanks to Ashley and Mike for making it extra special. We love you guys!

A December 1st to Remember

So today has been a crazy day for our little fam. First...Sunday afternoon we got a call from my sister, Jessica, saying she is in the hospital because she is in labor. We immediately packed up the car and drove 99mph from Arizona to Utah. It took us 9 1/2 hours to get to the American Fork Hospital where she was delivering her baby and I literally missed the birth of her little girl by 20 seconds!!! But it was still so much fun being there right after the fact. Lucy Jade Zurcher was born at 12:35am weighing 7 lbs 4 oz and measuring 18 1/2 inches. She is just adorable and we are so glad that we were able to be there to meet her! As if the day hasn't been good enough already, about 10 hours later, Wyatt recieved an email from USC School of Dentistry with an offer of acceptance!!! We are so excited to have this opportunity to live in Southern California and to be closer to family while we are in dental school. We have not heard anything from the Arizona schools yet so we plan on attending USC unless the Mesa school contacts us. Then we will really have to make a tough decision between southern California and Arizona. December 1st will always be a day to remember for our family.

Christmas Cards

It's already that time of year again. We would love to send your family a Christmas card so if you would like one please email me your address. My email address is jennydannels@gmail.com. Thanks so much! I hope everyone is enjoying this special time of year. Merry Christmas!

Hate to sell but...

I Hate using my blog as a Ad but I thought I would post our car on here because it might help someone else find what they are looking for, plus we are selling it way below blue book so we thought it would be good to share. We are selling our 2007 Hyundai Veracruz for 19,900. It has been a great car and is in immaculate condition with only 20,000 miles. It has a third row and a DVD system. Let me know if anyone is interested!

I am THANKFUL for:

I am thankful for our little family.

I am thankful for baby Hudson. He has been my dream baby.

I am thankful for Crew Bugs and Crew is thankful for chocolate chip cookies and Mater.

I am thankful for the love these boys show one another. We are still trying to teach Crew how to kiss with his mouth closed.

I am thankful for my handsome husband and I am especially thankful for all the help he has given me with the boys.

Family Pictures

Since we added another member to our family we decided it was time for new family pictures. My friends Megan and Aubry took these adorable pictures for us. They did such a great job and we couldn't be any happier. We love them all! So if anyone is looking to get two amazing photographers for the price of one contact Megan with Mod Photo at 480.703.0142. You can visit their website at www.aubryandmegan.com.

Embrace this day with an enthusiastic welcome.

Life is not always easy and can bring some pretty scary/testing trials in our lives. This world is getting filthier and filthier everyday. We really have to learn to rely on our Heavenly Father to help us get through each day and to help us get through the trials that life can throw our way. We CANNOT just give up...We HAVE to keep going. "I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it." I found this clip on someones blog and was really touched to share it with everyone. I hope each of you enjoy this as much as I did.

Doesn't Jessi look so cute??

This last week I went to Sacramento for my sister Jessica's baby shower. I had such a fun time being with all my sisters, brother and my parents. We had a great time shopping, cooking, eating and just talking. Jessica got some great things for her shower and her little girl is going to be so spoiled. We can't wait to meet little Lucy! Wyatt was nice enough to let me fly up to Sacramento for a week with just Hudson. It was such a nice little break from two kids. Wyatt stayed home and watched Crew. Crew had so much fun spending time with his daddy. Thanks Wyatt...you really are the best husband/father anyone could ask for!

Happy Halloween

This Halloween was not one of the best for our family. I ended up coming down with the flu on Halloween morning. Not fun at all...my house is a disaster and taking care of 2 kids under 2 being sick is not what i call fun. Luckily we were able to attend our wards Trunk or Treat on Wednesday night and Wyatt's parents ward Trunk or Treat on Thursday night. Crew had such a fun time trick or treating at the ward parties. Poor guy...didn't even get to dress up and go door to door on Halloween. We hope you all had a better Halloween than we did...Happy Halloween!

Hudson's First Bath

Hudson got his first "real" bath today. He loved every minute of it...and Crew loved helping his mommy wash his little brother. Crew is such a good little helper. I love my boys!!
