Save the Day

We are planning on having the X-Mas party this year at our house in Santaquin on December 27th. Currently the plan is to have a form of Open house with brunch being served starting around 9:30. We will send out some more information when we figure out exactly what we are going to do but mark the day and plan on spending some time with us.

Thanks,

Ditto what Matt said....thanks Hiatt's for a great time. We look forward to next year.

Can you top that?

What a great family party we had. A special thanks goes out to all those who helped plan such a great party. I would also like to take a moment to thank Grandpa for making it all happen. We had such a fun time. I wonder what Kristie was thinking about when she did her best Michael Jordan impression above.

The kids sure loved the tube. Kara was so brave out there with them. It was a little rough until I took the bungee cord off the tube.

Once they were finished it was time to get WILD!!!
Check out the cute feet...

and the cute butts...

That one made Landon cry.
Sorry buddy but Candi tried to get revenge for you
I am just about ready to kiss the water.

Thanks Vern and Deb. The place was great. We had soooo much fun.
The kids are already thinking about what we will be doing next year.
With my Love... --Matt, Candi and Kids

A little flashback that I had this morning...

Some of you may know how much I like music. So I relate a lot of my memories to a song. Well on my way to work this morning a song came on my Ipod that caused me to have a little flashback. The song was "Your Wildest Dreams" by the Moody Blues and my memory was of Grandma Hiatt. She drove me to the store in 1986 to buy the cassette tape. I remember sticking it into her converter that allowed you to play it in an 8 track player in the old Bonneville of course. She let me listen to the song over and over.

I then got to thinking about other songs that I have memories about. I remember my mom and Lorraine singing "In the Hollow of My Hand" at some missionary farewells. I also remember my mom listening to Kenny Rodgers and Dolly Parton.

One funny memory of a song... We were listening to the Oak Ridge Boys and Grandpa was in the car and he was telling us to turn it off because it was bad. So we asked him why. He said that he thought that the song was saying "Come on in baby take your clothes off!" but it was really saying "Come on in baby take your coat off" I remember laughing until tears came to my eyes. I still laugh about it to this day.

Hope that you are having a good one and here's to the memories...

Becky's wedding

This is Andrea. Kristen and I went to Becky's wedding Saturday. I just wanted to post how beautiful she looked and how pretty everything was. The weather turned out nice and I know Debbie and other family members worked so hard to make it all happen. Congratulations to Becky and Devin! It was fun to see Victoria, Whitney, the Warners, Vernon and Deb, Amber and her cute family, and of course Grant and Debbie (and anyone else I failed to mention). Do you think we should fill Devin in on all of the Hiatt family secrets? He got a good look at everyone at Lake Powell and still decided to join the family. He must be a keeper.

Abigail Rae

Since I didn't get an announcement out to anyone but aunts and uncles I thought I would post the announcement here. We are so excited for our newest addition!! Hope all is well with everyone.

You might be a Hiatt

Hey guys this is Kristie. I don't know if anyone looks at this blog but I wanted to show off our mailbox. It' been wobbling around for months and finally fell off its stand. Burke said he would fix it and I went outside and it was duct taped back on. I think all these years off marriage the Hiatts are finally rubbing off on him.

I hope everyone is doing well. Love ya Kristie

Kennedy's winter fun and baby news!

This picture was taken December 31st up Provo Canyon. From left to right: Julie (Chris and Kara's daughter), Matthew (Andrea and Dave's son), Kyle (Mike and Jenny's son), and Maya (Matt and Kristen's daughter).
Dave and I (Andrea)are expecting our second child in September. I am 11 weeks along and we heard the heartbeat today for the first time. The baby is due September 17, but we are planning on having a c-section. The doctor said he does c-sections a week before the due date, so that is nice for me. We're pretty excited.

Lake Powell Pictures

Hey anyone or everyone who even checks this blog out besides Matt, David and myself. I'm trying to make a video from Lake Powell this last year and looking for more pictures. If you have any pictures from the trip I would love to get my hands of them to add to the video. I have some from myself and Sandy, but could use more if possible. You can just email them to me if you would, or Sandy just put hers on a disk and mailed them to me. I would greatly appreciate it!!!! Thanks :)

It's a happy New Year...

You put your right arm in

you put your left elbow out

and you shake it all about... :)

What a great party. It was fun to see everyone. I also heard that someone bribed Landon to take me down on the floor... I guess that I will have to be more careful when he is skating by me.
