Christmas Gifts this year.

Last year for Christmas most of you know that I was selling the pictures of the new Presidency of the Church, which by the way, I only have a few left. They are on sell for $10 for the set instead of $15. Please let me know if you are interested in buying one of the last sets. If you don't know what they look like click on "Artwork by Meagan Leavitt" to the right. I also do custom portraits at a pretty good price. This year I was thinking that I would like to try drawing something else, but I am not sure what people want to buy. I have a poll above, please pick what you would want to give your friends or relatives. If you have a different idea, then please comment on this post. Once the poll closes, then I am going to spend the next couple of days drawing so that I can have it done and on the blog before Dec. 1. I am kind of excited about this and I promise that I will not disappoint.

"I just can't have anything nice

Please tell me this phase will pass because it is we have been in it for about 2 years. My daughter likes to destroy everything she can. She is sometimes compared to the tasmainian devil. She just goes from one thing to the next. This is stuff she has ruined in the last couple of days. I do discipline her when she destroys stuff, but she keeps doing it. And the worst part is that she is so super fast about it and she is very sneaky. If you come to my house you will notice that pretty much every wall is written on. I decided to start documenting things she is destroying so that when she has kids I can pull these pics out when she starts complaining that they are destroying things. The one below is Hunter's doing. It is all just exhausting.

5 Years!!!!!

I can't believe it has already been 5 years that Buck and I have been married. Today is our 5 year anniversary! I also wanted to put on here the top 5 reasons I love Buck Leavitt! But first here are some pictures from the past 5 years.

One of my faves

Our whole family for the first time.

Aren't they so cute?

I love this one too because it is so sweet. He was tearing up.

Me pregnant with Lindsey. It was Thanksgiving Day and she was born 3 days later. I was huge and so uncomfortable.

We went on a trip back to where Buck served his mission in North Carolina. We had a blast! For some reason Buck looks like he wants to hurt the person taking the camera. I guess it is his football stare. It kind of makes me laugh.

Buck helping me load my gun to practice for my elk hunt coming up.
The elk that I shot. I was kind of creeped out about touching a dead thing so I had a hard time holding its head up without getting grossed out so he did it for me.
A picture from our wedding reception. I was blonde. And that is the longest my hair has ever been since the 5 grade.

At the temple right after we were married. That was one of the greatest days!

This is our engagement photo. We look so young.

Here are the 5 reasons why I am still in love with Buck Leavitt:

1. He has a strong testimony and is a awesome example of how to serve others. If someone needs help he is the first to volunteer.

2. He is my best friend. I can talk to him about anything and he is there to listen.

3. He is a manly man. He loves to hunt outdoors and can do just about anything when it comes to animals and mountain man stuff. He knows how to work hard and is not lazy one bit. He works hard so that I can be a stay at home mom. He has good examples in his life that have helped him out with this one.

4. He is a great dad. Our kids love him so much and love to follow him around and he lets them.

5. He is a big goof ball! There is rarely a dull moment. Sometimes when I am fuming mad he finds a way to make me laugh or smile because he knows I have a hard time being a mean or mad person.

Buck, I love you and I am looking forward to many many years to come.

My cute little frankenstein ... and the PIG!

Well, Hunter was walking around on my bed this morning and tripped. He fell and hit his eye on the corner of the desk and then fell to the ground. I felt so bad for him! His eye would not stop bleeding. I was not sure how to clean it and I could see flesh and it made me uneasy. So I thought that he probably needs stitches. Needless to say, if he has this same cut anywhere else on his body I would have cleaned it myself and butterflied it shut, but because it was so close to his eye we were off to Urgent Care. I went to Urgent Care because it is seriously cheaper and they said they did stitches. The doctor took a good look at it and was too nervous about it so he sent us to the hospital. (Thanks alot!) So off we went to the hospital and 3 hours later we were finally all set to go home. He is a trooper! I love this little boy so much! He is such a good boy. I could not ask for a better kid! 2 days ago I bought his Halloween costume. I almost got him a frankenstein outfit and now I am wishing I would have. He is my little frankenstein:)

The other day we ate lunch and Hunter was at the table by himself and Buck and I were working on things. I looked over and could not help but laugh. Hunter had both feet on the table and was just kicked back, all relaxed. I had to grab my camera a take a few pictures, but he caught me.

Here is the PIG! We have not named her yet! I am taking suggestions. She is alot bigger than she looks in the picture. Lindsey and Hunter were outside playing in the backyard and I saw Lindsey by the gate to the pen and I yelled, "Lindsey, don't you let that Pig out! She'll get you." Her reply, "Okay, mom I won't!" Not more than 2 minutes later Lindsey came running in the house, "Mom, the pig is out in the backyard." Sure enough, she was out running a muck and there stood Hunter 1/4 her size just staring and I am starting to panic, because she is big and she is going crazy! So I rush my kids inside and get the broom. That doesn't seem to work, so I grab some food and throw it in the pen and she goes in. Of course Buck wasn't home and I have to admit, it kind of freaked me out. I kept thinking, "She is going to knock me over and get me all stinky.......I hope she doesn't bite." I am just glad it all worked out okay......until next time.

Just a quick update!

Sorry no pics. Well, we have some new additions to our family. Buck went to the auction again. He brought home a huge Pig. She is a sow so he wants to breed her. She is pretty big. But the good thing is that Buck put a pen up so she isn't just roaming around in the back yard. He got a goat too. The kids are excited about it. They love to go outside and spray the pig with water and watch it play in the mud. I will post some pics soon.

Forrest is Home!

We all waited 2 years and now Forrest is finally home! We are so excited to have him back. Here are some pictures from the airport. It was so exciting!

Forrest arrives!

Forrest, Grandma and Grandpa Rogers

Lindsey with Uncle Forrest. Lindsey was only 8 months old when Forrest left. We asked her before Forrest got home if she would give him a big hug at the airport and she said she would, but she was too shy. Uncle Wayne helped her give Uncle Forrest a kiss. But the best part was even though at the airport Lindsey was shy, by lunch time as I was putting her in her seat she said, "Mom, I like Uncle Forrest!" It was so cute. She warmed up to him so fast! She now loves her Uncle Forrest.Butch and Uncle Forrest

Adell, Preston, Aunt Laurel Ann, Grandma Leavitt, Forrest, Aunt Linda, and Lindsey

Me, Lindsey, Forrest, Buck and Hunter. Hunter was born while Forrest was gone and is older than Lindsey was when he left. He warmed up to Forrest already too. Buck had him give Forrest some head butts and now Hunter loves Forrest too. We all love you Forrest and are so happy to have you home!

Well, they are out of order, and in different prints, but I have to share.
