company of thieves

Last week we went to see Company of Thieves for another Edge free concert.  I had just heard them that day and they sounded good so we decided to go.  We definitely did not regret it.. they were awesome!  The lead singers voice was great.  Her style was very unique and she could really belt it.  She was also a great entertainer and was very quirky doing funny little moves the whole time.  The guitarist was pretty amazing as well and Jason mentioned that he hasn't seen anyone that good for a long time.  They only played 45 minutes but it was worth driving out to Scottsdale.  Afterwards we got to meet them and I got their autograph.  I was actually pretty nervous because I didn't know what I was going to say, but the singer Genevieve was so nice and laid back.. and seemed genuinely sweet.

temple lights

so pretty!




the whole family besides Mitch and Lexie


it's christmastime...

and I love it!!
I am always sad when it is over.
my family has started a tradition in the past couple years of decorating gingerbread houses
it has gotten pretty competitive


somehow my brother Clint (bottom left) appointed himself as the judge and had a clipboard, awards and everything. 


they all surprisingly turned out very different from each other

our "hippy house"


i love picking out our Christmas tree!


the winner !!







Merry Christmas!!

I've been really bad at updating.. we found our cat Putters last week when our friendly neighborhood cat lady called us.  it made us realize how much we love him! we had spent many hours searching for him.
