The Hill Family

I've been slowly getting more and more into this blog thing. For months I have been wanting to update our blog to be "cute." I knew what I needed to do, I just never made the time to do it. Today, I finally took some time out to upgrade the 'ol blog. Thanks to Lynsi I was able to add our picture at the top and add a playlist. Thanks Lyns! So for all of you with amazingly cute blogs, I hope you enjoy the makeover ours got today.  On a different note... I have recently been playing around with my bangs. I've had side bangs for a couple of years now and I have been brave enough to trim them as they have grown out in between hair cuts. Well, a few weeks ago I was brave enough to trim them so that I could have "front bangs." This was a very brave step for me because I'm usually not one to try something so drastically different. This new look was inspired by Reese Witherspoon from the movie Four Christmases. After Jason and I saw it I just had to try out t...

BEFORE Jason decided to grow out a beard over the holidays.  He enjoyed the extra warmth it gave him, but he decided it was time for it to go.  It's been nice for him to have a smooth face again! AFTER What a cutie!

I know the holidays have come and gone and we're all getting back into our normal routines.  So, I hope it's better late than never, because I wanted to share what we did for New Years. This year my cousin Jacki hosted a family party. We went to Nibley, which is right next to Logan, and shared New Years with my cousins and Aunt and Uncle.   All of you who hear us saying that we're going to Tremonton for the weekend can appreciate this post because these are some of the people we go and visit. Now you can put a face with a name.  We had such a fun night at Jacki's house. We started out eating yummy food, then we headed up stairs and played a little Rock Band and Dance Dance Revolution.  This was our set up. Very nice! Jacki and Branson sing'n their hearts out. We even got Aunt MerLynn to get on the drums and Uncle Rick to rock out on the guitar. Cute little Trevyn.  She was so good at the dancing game. Cute little Sydney and Maggie.  They were dancing on the mat n...

Many of you know that Jason and I bought our first new car!  We've had it for two weeks now and we absolutely LOVE it!  It was a big decision/commitment to purchase our new Toyota Corolla, but we are so glad we did!  It seems ever since we bought it, the weather in Utah has been horrible!  Our poor car has been packed with ice and snow and salt from the roads.  Today the sun actually came out, so we decided to give it a good wash!  We'll be doing this frequently throughout the winter since the salt on the roads will eat your paint and we have to take good care of our new baby!  However, don't let the sunshine in the pictures fool you, it has been absolutely FREEZING today!  The water on our sideview mirrors froze before Jason could dry them off! Crazy!

This year Jason and I drove down to Texas for Thanksgiving.  It was so much fun to see everyone and spend time with family!  While we were down there, I did a photo shoot of Nathan & Natalie, Lynsi & Walt, and a few of Wynston & Garrett.  The young boys were so cute to pose for me and smile for the camera.  Nathan was a very good sport too.  Lynsi was the one who started the idea because she wanted a pic of her and Walt that she could frame for their house. Walt was a good sport too, we took pictures for almost an hour and he hung in there!  Here are a few of my favorite ones... While we were in Texas we went to the Dallas Mavericks game and the Dallas Cowboys game! Both of them were enjoyed in a suite thanks to Gayle who had extra tickets from her company. And of course you can't forget good 'ol Spring Creek BBQ!  That was my 1st job when I was 15 and everytime I go home I love to enjoy Texas BBQ!

Our little nephew is here! He was born on November 4th and we were able to go see him that night in the hospital. Now we have 2 nephews and they are both so cute!

This year for Halloween we went to Doe's house and hung out with family. Everett was a rodeo clown. He looked so cute and was having a blast! Shauna dressed up as a pumpkin. She looked so cute! We hung outside for a while because Everett loves going outside. He was carrying around this bloody hand and would call the skeleton on the front porch 'spooks.' I think he really was scared, but he kept laughing at it. I'm pretty sure we have the cutest nephew ever! Jason was Everett's little bud this weekend. He really loves his Uncle Jason! When Everett sees Jason's backpack he calls it 'seat.' He thinks it's like his car seat because of all of the straps it has. Jason helped him get buckled in and he watched T.V. like that for a while. It was too cute!
