Baby Allen

Allen Dixon has recently decided to join the Haggard family. He was born to Andrew and Sarah Haggard on December 9, 2006 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He is so adorable . . . and I'm not just saying that because he is my nephew. I couldn't stop taking pictures of him. He is just so darn cute. So, here are some pictures of baby Allen with almost every member of my family. I wish my mom was still here to see her grandbabies being born...but I'm sure she is up in heaven holding them and loving them before they come to us here on earth.

I think this pic is funny - they kinda have the same expression on their faces

James and Cathie Haggard Wedding

This past weekend my dad got married to Cathie Thomas in the Albuquerque temple. Tom and I drove the 10 hours over there for the wedding. They had a huge turn out at the reception. It's probably the biggest reception that I've ever been to. They also had a lot of people at the sealing. My wedding looked so pathetic compared to theirs (or to anybodies) . . . not that I really care. ;) It was an exciting weekend. We have had two new additions to the family recently...Cathie...and baby Allen.

The new Mr. and Mrs. James Haggard walked into the room to be greeted by family and friends following a man playing a set of bag pipes. It seems that the new Mrs. Haggard has some Scottish blood in her.


Me and Tom outside the temple - Is that snow in NM?????

A Long Road Trip

On our way to St. George we stopped in Baltimore, MD, Washington D.C., Buena Vista, VA, Nashville, TN, Oklahoma City, OK, Albuquerque, NM. and finally stopped at St George. The longest road trip of my life.

Sleeping Beauties


Bella and Tom had a long day after packing up the moving truck.

Moving Day

We did it! We moved to St. George, UT. It took a lot of hard work, but we packed up the house, said our farewells and moved to St. George. It was five days of dirving with our cat Bella, but we made it. It was sad for us to leave, but also exciting to think of what will come in our future.





Christmas Day

On Christmas morning we went to Tom's moms house where we had breakfast with her and Angelo (Tom's brother, my brother-in-law) Then in the afternoon we went to his brother and sister-in-laws house where we had dinner with all his brothers and their spouses.

Off to Seattle

At the beginning of December I went to Seattle to visit one of my best friends Bonnie. Her and her husband are friends of mine from college when I went to BYUI. They recently had a baby boy named Tanner. He is so adorable.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Tom and I bought a cute little Christmas tree and decorated it.
