Just a Couple of Yaks



Yep. You heard it correctly. Just a couple of Yaks. Last month my dad invested in some of these big animals, now owning the largest yak heard in the United States. Dog asked us to go to the ranch this weekend to take pictures for their website. Take a look and see what you think. These pups are all pregnant for the spring time. Anyone want a couple of yaks?

Christmas Day


Christmas was incredible! Every time I think about Christmas, I can't stop thinking how blessed we are. We have two amazing families who literally spoiled us rotten this year. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for them both. Above all, I am beginning to understand a little more every year how important it is to spend time with those you love. Not only is it a time for giving, but it is also a time to love others and remember the real reason for Christmas... the best gift we could ever receive.


Neff kids lining up for the big unveiling!


Ben and his new skis


Me and my purple fluffy pillow thanks to Lauren. Got that along with some purple slippies from Anna... they know me too well.


The Neffs are going to Europe!



The MAGIC WALNUT DOORS. Amazing what magically appeared behind these doors!


The brothers with their new goggles. What a hoot!


me with my new baby


I was a little emotional at that moment


Thank you mom and dad!

This present was the ultimate...

Please welcome:

Chester

Scot and I had kept this little guy with us the entire week before (thank you Neffs!). Pretty sure it made us want a dog even more. He is the sweetest little boy. He is a miniature golden retriever and we wanted to keep him...

... obviously it was hard to give him up.


Dog and Krystal laughing at us because they have a dog and we don't. No just kidding, this is when they figured out their gift. A herd of yaks! yahoo cowboy!


Scot and his cool new vest


Opening up our vita mix! So excited! Use it on a daily basis



The best part of Christmas was Em announcing that she is pregnant! We are so excited for you guys! Sadly, i didnt get a picture of it in time.


Like I said, it was a wonderful Christmas and we seriously could not be more blessed. We thank our Heavenly Father on a daily basis for our families in our lives. Where would be without you?

But really it makes me think of the greatest gift of all, the atonement. How blessed are we for that knowledge. Merry Christmas everyone! We love you!

Christmas Eve



I love Christmas Eve. When every gift is purchased, it is finally time to relax and spend time with family, praying that what you got as gifts don't come out of a little ones mouth. Good times.


Traditional outing of bowling with the Neffs started by my very own sweetheart



Then we went to True Grit. Haven't seen it? I strongly recommend it



Had a nice steak dinner for Christmas Eve with Martinelli's and our traditional Jefferson cups



Then read Luke 2 and went to the Neff's to see Christmas street.

It was incredible.
