Christmas 2016

These first 3 pictures are from the big Kunz family Christmas party.  My kids were all excited to sit on Santa's lap and talk with him.

This is Drake's class with Santa and Mrs. Claus. 

He is in the bright blue coat holding a candy cane.

These next pictures were taken on Christmas, 

each kid is playing or showing what they got from Santa.

Drake got a shark ship, he really wanted this. 

It floats in the water and holds matchbox cars.

Addyson wanted "girl legos" 

 I was worried that she wouldn't actually like or play with these,

and Legos are expensive.  I have been pleasantly surprised and

I wish we would have gotten legos for ALL of the kids this year.

Lex got a train and it drives on a track.

Most of Christmas morning, Kade helped Addyson put together her Lego set.  The boys were quickly bored with their toys and sat around watching these two put it together.  I felt like they felt left out, but it was good for Addy to spend daddy daughter time. 

Church got cancelled, SO MUCH SNOW.  

This gave the kids more time to just play all morning.

Here is a picture of the kids with their 

Christmas pajama's that they got from G&G Bingham

Later at Christmas dinner, Grandpa Kunz unwrapped a gift from Trecia and Jake.  The kids initially had a bunch of fun trying to fit inside the large mailbox. Later, they spent hours sliding down the stairs in the box it came in.  

I wanted a picture by my moms tree.  

It is traditional red, one of these years I will update my ornaments to something I like better.

Here is my family on Christmas 2016

I hope you all had a wonderful day and were blessed.

A Special Day

On Friday, July 15th 2016 I got to attend the sealing ceremony of one of my best friends. We drove down to Twin Falls, Kade had to get off work a little early, but it was so worth it.  Suzie's sister Liz watched my kids while we went to the ceremony, thanks again Lizzie!  It was such a peaceful & beautiful experience. I have to say my favorite part was getting to watch their little boy who, is three years old, being sealed to Suzie and Joe. I have witnessed quite a few sealings, but never one like this with a little child. It was just so sweet, emotional, and overall an amazing thing to witness.  <3 Families can be forever! <3 Love you so much Suz!

New Years 2016

This year was low key, we were invited to a few parties but we didn't want to leave our kids out.

Jake got a smoker for Christmas and Kade really wanted to try it.  The steaks turned out AMAZING!  We had a few appetizers and watched a few movies. 

Kade fell asleep at about 10 and I woke him up for a NEW YEAR KISS!

Lex kept taking his shirt of HAHA.

Happy New Year! I am hoping to work on my health, all around, especially my mental health. I am ready for a great 2016.

Easter 2015

This year we listened to General Conference, we went to my parents for dinner, and had an egg hunt.

Most people love the new years for it's fresh start, but spring brings me that feeling better than January first ever will.  Everything comes to life, the sun starts to shine, and bright colors show.  Spring brings feelings of new beginnings, and in life, new things are so exciting.


Easter is to remember that Christ not only suffered for us, but miraculously, he rose again.

“And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!

“For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father.”  Doctrine and Covenants 76:22–23.

God Lives, Jesus Lives, I am so blessed to know that and feel their love. I know and love that I can be with my family FOREVER!


Here are some cute pictures of us and the bright colors of spring.

This picture makes me laugh out loud!  Look at Addy, oh and Drake, and Lex.  He is even shrugging and asking his dad "why are we doing this?"

Most family pictures go like this....although I wish they would smile sometimes!  But their personality really shows through, in a picture like the one above.  

I posted some of these on FB, but oh well, deal with doubles..........if there is anyone out there. :D

All the Kunz Grandkids except the one in Makels Tummy!

Wray & Cortnies 5 Kids

Spence and Lex

Richard and his girlfriend Taylor 

Hey, we are all looking at the camera!

Addyson turned 3

Addyson is a big girl!  She even was potty trained before she was 3.  December is a busy month for this little girl, her birthday only being 3 days before Christmas, she gets it all confused.

She got a Christmas colored cake.

Showing off her care bear birthday gifts.

I can't believe she is three!

Addyson has a strong personality.  She knows what she wants and finds a way to get it.  She is cute and she knows it.

She likes to dance and sing, she often makes up her own words to songs.

She mimics things that we say in question form.  So if you say "eat your dinner please", she will repeat you and say "eat my dinner?" all confused sounding.   She does this all day long.

She loves stuffed animals and has to have all of them to sleep (just like her mom use to).

She is the most helpful when it comes to cleaning, she loves to help me do laundry, the dishes, clean toys, you name it she loves to help.  In fact she helped me vacuum up a few clothes the other day, shredded some of her panties. It's funnier now that a few weeks have past HAHA.

She is a tease and makes Drake cry sometimes, just cuz she can.

She fell in the toilet onces, now every time she goes, she tells me, "mom I don't wanna fall in the potty."

She is a great eater, and is almost taller than her brother.

She changes her outfit 2-5 times a day, I am always picking up clothes....total girl problem

Apples are her favorite food, she asks for them at least 2 times a day.

When I work out she does everything she can along with me and she begs to go out and run with me.

She is stubborn and wins most arguments

She loves to be held and snuggled.  She has had a hard time since Lex joined the family because I can't hold both of them.

She is a great big sister and a big helper.

She is a total Daddy's girl, but she is stuck with me most the time.

Happy Birthday Addyson, we love you!
