Merry HoHo to Mema & Papa

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!! We are so grateful for all of our family and friends. Most of all we are grateful for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What a blessing the Gospel is in our lives. I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who has blessed us so much this past year. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.

PS sorry no cards this year. We still love all of you so much. We will send a card with our new address when we move.

Emmanuel 14 yrs Later

This is for my family members who were with us on Christmas Eve 1994. So on Sunday we were eating lunch and Kiley could not wait for us to finish because she had a performance for us. Well it just so happened to be to the song Emmanuel by Amy Grant. Jack and I were laughing so hard it hurt. She was doing some great moves on the ladder, and then she moved to the floor. The other girls joined in the fun. It was a good laugh. Wished you all could have been here. Ladder dancing.

Temple Lights

On Saturday night we went to see the Temple lights. It was great because it was not very crowded at all. It was fun, we ran into Caree and her kids, Jacks mom , and his sister Amanda. Sorry for the demon eyes I do not know what is up with my red eye reduction on my camera.

Nanny with some of her grandkids.

Night at the Prom '08

It was so cute Annie would not take her eyes off of the Nativity. She loved it.

Decorating for Christmas

We put out our some of our Christmas decorations (I did not want to get them all out because we will be moving right after Christmas) and put up the tree last Saturday. The girls were so excited to decorate. They did a great job!! Annie loves to play with it all. Hailey

Maicy and Kiley

Kiley's year to put the star on. Jack had ran to grab lunch so I asked her if she wanted me to help, she said no I want dad to help me. Every year he lifts them up so they can put the star on. It is pretty cute.

Annie, Maicy and Hailey playing. They love my exercise ball.

Thanksgiving

We started the day off with our own little fun run, bike, etc.... It was fun to have them get out and exercise. We only had one crash, G man crashed on his scooter but he was tough. We had a pot-luck breakfast afterwards and then headed home to start cooking. Caree and her kids spent the night and we cooked together and then headed to April and Logans for our feast. It was a fun day. The Gang.

Jack, Maree, and Annie

Me and my man!!!!

The kids playing in the front yard and April's. Why none of them have shoes on I have no clue.

Archuleta Attacking Izzy's House

The Kennedy and Skousen girls love to torment Izzy. She does not like David Archuleta so they thought it would be fun to Archuleta attack her house with I love David A. posters. It was pretty fun it reminded me of the good ole days of toilet papering houses.

Don't you love their mask. I told them to put panty hose over their faces but they were not down with that.

Izzy and her man.

We came back after they knocked on the door and hid.

crazy girl who was the master mind behind the attack.

Tree House

Since the weather is so nice the girls love to hang out in Papa's tree.

Dinner with Friends

Last Thursday my good friends from my old ward had a party for me. So many good people in that ward, I love 12th ward and will miss everyone. Me with Sarah and Kathleen

Farrah, Shalene, Michelle R. Silvia, Marni, and Michelle Z.

Lizz and I

Sarah, Amy C., Julee, Michelle R., and Tambra

Some of my old young women. Ashley, Julia and Becka

P.S. Please pardon the gross cold sores!!!

Ashly Came to Visit

Ashly, Bennett, and Scarlett came for a few days last week. The girls loved holding Scarlett and playing with Bennett. It is so weird to see my baby sister with 2 kids. I remember when she was Scarlett's age I loved to take care of her. The best was when she would cry when I would leave for school. What can I say I was such a great big sister. Maicy holding Scarlett

Annie love to act like a baby getting into Scarlett's car seat and sucking on her pacifiers

Mama Bear (that is what Jack calls her) and Scarlett

Me, Ashly and Erin at the Larson Thanksgiving Party

Nammie, Kathy and Becky (these are my moms 2 sisters and mom)

Annie came walking in the gym like this. She decided she wanted to wear Stella's dress but Stella did not want to trade cloths. Annie is sure silly she loves her cousin Stella and want to be just like her. It is pretty cute every day she ask to go to her house.

Kiley and Marisa

Kiley and Marisa have their birthdays 3 days apart so they always have their family party together. Here they are with Kiley's 7 layer cake. Kiley loved her bag from Nanny.

Kiley is 7

Kiley turned 7 yesterday. She is such a sweet funny girl. She brings a lot of laughter and joy to our family. She is my older baby I tell her because she was the baby for 5 years before I had Annie, she still likes to be spoiled like one. She and her sisters planned a little party for some of her friends. She wanted to watch the new Tinkerbell movie, eat pizza and play games. I went to the store and when I got home they had it decorated and planned out. I love when they do the planning it is so cute. Kiley had this sitting by the front door for everyone to sign. Sorry, I did not realize I needed to rotate this picture.

Kiley and her friends.

Watching the movie. The extra girls are Maicy's friends who came to help with the party.

Cake time. Jack will be making her her 7 layer cake for the family party.

Annie love the cake.

Halloween

We went to the Opfel's for dinner and trick-r-treating. For dinner we had pumpkin shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's and homeade Root Beer with dry ice in it to make it look like witches brew, and a salad.

Annie was Kiley's little Spider Princess

Maicy was an 80's punk rocker

Hailey was Lily Munster

and Kiley was a Spider Queen.

After we put Annie in the stroller she would not get out.

We had a fun time. Annie would only get out of the stroller to go up to the houses but even that didn't last long. We ended around 8:30 but the girls didn't want to stop but no one was out. They had a great time.
