Happy Birthday!

So there are quite a few lately that have had a B-day and I just wanted to take a qick minute to welcome the new little ones to the world and tell you that you are so blessed to have such an awesome loving and supporting family. To the not so new ones HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mom and Grandpa! Two big birthdays for them 75 and 50... but they both look oh so much younger : )Happy new Year to the rest of the family and lets make it a good one and all try to keep in touch a bit better and remember how important our family really is!

Haydon David Judd

Hello Family, sorry we are just now getting pictures of our new little one on here. We are all doing good and are just really enjoying our little monster. He sure is a sweet baby. Everyone around here sure love to eat him up. The kids are doing really good with him, they love to hold him and love on him. He has fit right in from the first day.

Dillon got to help bring him in to the world. He would not leave the hospital the night I was in labor. He stayed all night, he did not want to miss the birth of his new baby brother. The others were ready to go home and sleep in their own beds and eat. Dillon was a trooper, he stayed with me to make sure I was okay. When Haydon was born Dillon cut the umbilical cord, he really wanted to, so we let him. It was all he could talk about leading up to the birth.

Hope all is well with everyone and that you have a Merry Christmas and a safe New Year.

my crazy kids

Roxie is learning too many things. She is getting so smart. On the radio the song " Frosty the Snowman" came on and she was demanding my attention. I finally said "What do you need Roxie Jane?" She said "mommy this is my song." It took me a minute to figure it out but then I realized what she was trying to say. She said the song was her's because it was about "Roxie the Snowman". I love my crazy kids! Now I just wish Mr. Rowdy would decide he was ready to come and join us!!!!!!!!----Alisa

The Twilight Zone

Can you tell we were excited!? Out of the prince clan Tami, Spencer, Grandma Prince, Amber, Braden, Becca, and Lauren all went the Saturday after Twilight came out, to the movie together. It was really fun to go as a partial family because of how excited we all were. We fed off of eachothers' excitment and had a blast. We tried to get a picture with all of us but it was a busy day so my mom ended up just taking this one of us. The rest of the fam (Shea excluded) would have liked to have been there but for one reason or another couldn't make that showing. We were dissapointed with a few parts of the movie but were all still happy about seeing it and still would like to see it again. We can't wait for the 2nd one to come out. Interesting fact- My Grandma Prince is Stephanie Meyer's Father's Aunt (I know a bit confusing but I don't know a better way to say it)

Baby boys

Last night Danny and I took our girls down to the hospital to see Mindy and Jonny's new baby boy. FYI he was born yesterday (11-14-08) weighed 7 lbs and was 19 inches long. He looks just like Jonny but has a lot of dark hair. He is sooooooo cute. They named him Hayden(Haydon???) David Judd. He is a doll. Jonny has to put some pics on here for you all. Anyway..... I have had much anxiety about having a baby boy. I kept thinking how much I am going to miss all the bows and pink and buying the rediculious blessing dresses that I buy. After holding baby Hayden, i felt so much peace. Now I want MY baby boy to get here. Our house is no where ready for him to come yet ,plus he is still to little, but I am so excited for my Rowdy to join our family. I still dont know hat to do with 3 kids, but I am sure I will figure it out quickly. We love you all.-----Alisa

america needs your prayers

Dear Family,
I am not usually such a political person but now that I am a grown -up and mom I have been more aware of what is going on in our world. I have been reading about what is still going on in California in regards to our church and CA's proposition 8 (Arizona's proposition 102) about making an amendment to state's constitution to keep marriage between one man and one woman. The propositions past , so now no stupid judge can overturn it. Since the elections on tuesday, The Los Angeles Temple and I am sure others in CA have been under constant protests and complete negativity towards any LDS church or person. There have also been protests here in AZ but I dont think it is anything like in California. Our Stake Conference this last week was a STATE wide broadcast, and they talked about this Proposition. We need to love everyone, but we can not support immoral issues. (whatever the issue is) In Ether 2:12 it says "Behold this is a choice land and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage and free from captivity and from all other nations under heaven if they will but serve the God of the land which is Jesus Christ." As much as I would love to have ocean front property, I would ask all of you to remember our Church leaders and Government leaders( especially in California,Arizona, And Florida) in your prayers. We love you all lots and lots!

I got a little smile on camera:)
I love these boys and don't know what I'd do without them!

Family Pictures

Dearest family, there should be a fanfare because this is my first entry in our blog for the Judds or any blog for that matter! We had all of the Princes in our yard a few weeks ago for family pictures and these are a few of the cutest of my family. I have so enjoyed reading your entries, thanks for spending the time to put stuff in for us to see and keep in touch with each other.

Spencer's hair is growing back in! We were planning on dark and curly, but no such luck.We are just happy to see whatever comes back in.He has a final scan this friday and we expect it to come out clean and clear. We are learning to deal with Emily's celiac disease.The translation is she is gluten intolerant so we are trying to cook without using wheat products which is more than a little tricky. I got a cookbook and talked to a friend who has been dealing with this for several years. She helped me a lot and gave me a lot of encouragement. The doctor that did the biopsy to confirm the diagnosis for Emily said we should all be tested for this disease because it could affect more people in our family.I am so excited to find out although it won't be harder to deal with if I have more than one. We love all of you so much and are so grateful to have you in our lives. With all my love,Tam

Your cute big sister!

So I was looking through some pictures and saw some cute ones of my mom and thought I would share them with you guys since you don't get to see her as much and she is really amazing... so of course you miss her dearly : )She seems to be doing much better now that the chemo for my dad is over and they are going to the cabin this UEA weekend to relax with the family so I hope the all have a good time. She watches lyndi for me every other week while I work and take Hyrum to gym, Lauren to soccer, Emily to track and runs all the other mother errands while trying to keep up on the house work. She also is so cute with my dad and you can tell the love eachother so much. She truly is my hero and I know now that I have one I could never do what she does and what Grandma Alice did for all of you guys. We have some amazing examples to looks to don't we.

This pic of her and my Dad is on Lyndi's 1st birthday so its a bit old (hence the hair on my dads head) but I thought it was cute!

Memories

Jaxon loves to give Henry kisses.
Sweet Henry!
Here is my dad with the boys...what a happy grandpa!
Henry 3 weeks old and a little cross-eyed...
Devin's grandparents recently sold their cabin in Utah to buy one closer to the family. They found outside of Payson and we went up for the first time last week. After we were home for a few days, we went up again and took my mom and dad for the night. We had a really fun time.

My dad said this is a bird's nest in the dirt. Is it true, I'm not sure. I've never seen a bird's nest in the dirt, but he didn't seem to be making it up...
Devin and Dad wanted to crack some black walnuts we gathered on our walk. Those nuts have such hard shells, they used a sledge hammer to crack them outside on the cement.
