Santa Claus

Santa Claus visited my parents house and came

to find out if everyone has been good, what they want

and to give a little gift.

The grandkids (minus 3), gpa gma and Santa

Peyton wants a DS...he changes everytime we ask

so let's hope that Santa can figure out exactly what he wants.

Stockton wants a DS...he has know for a while and

hasn't changed his mind...my kind of kid.

Easton wants a car...I love when they are soo easy to please.

Berklie just wanted to GET OFF!!

I can't believe there is only 14 days till Christmas.

I better get cracking, I am usually done by October!!

The Rec Center

We all went and got our H1N1 shots and I had

told the kids if they were good and didn't cry

then we would go to the Rec Center and Ice Skate.

The kids picked the order they wanted their shots,

and luckily they got the mist...so only poor Berklie had to get the shot.

We got to the Rec Center and they were doing Skate lessons so

we hit the rock wall.

Easton climbing so high

Peyton, Stockton and Hayden

Even Berklie climbed to the top!!

It was Eastons first time Ice Skating and he was so excited.

Berklie wanted in on the fun

Peyton and Hayden are professionals...well kind of

Stockton was Awesome once he got he hang of it again.

Easton doing so Good!!

Berklie had a blast...the guy was nice and let her

skate in her shoes.

Winter Wonderland

I love the white fluffy snow.

I made a snowman kit...but, the snow isn't

snowman making snow so we will wait until the next storm.

Stockton and his snow angels

Easton just wants pictures taken of him

I didn't realize at such a young age they understand

that eating snow is just part of winter.

We have a slide across the street and it was pretty icy...

makes for a great jump!!

Stocky got some sweet air!

I thought Berklie would cry when she hit the ground, but

she was hysterically laughing and wanted more!

Ward Christmas Party

We got all bundled up and went on a walk to see

all the lights in the neighborhood. Brrrrr it was cold.

Notice Skee is in shorts...

We went to see Santa at the ward Christmas Party

there was a really good turn out.

The boys didn't mind him, but Berklie was not a fan.

After dinner and Santa we came back to our house and

got out Rock Band. Our favorite winter Wii game.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I love this time of the year.

We decorated the tree this year while Skee

was out fighting the crowds on Black Friday!!

Skee got the lights up before it snowed this year!!

The kids were so excited that Skee let them on the roof

to help. I was way paranoid and made them sit with their backs

to the wall the entire time.

Peyton was mad when he got home...he says he is old enough

to do stuff like Dads do, it's not scary to be on the roof!!

Red and White

just the way we like it!!

GO UTES.

Rivalry Week

We decided to get Skee a present a little early

this year. It is to help with the Rivalry Week!

GO UTES

I got talked into going to watch the guys play their

annual UTAH BYU flag football game.

Full light, 2 rivalry teams, air horns and freezing football

weather...what more could a guy want!!

Oh yeah for their kids to come cheer them on

GO DADDY!!

It was really cold, but we were bundled up pretty

good. The kids lasted about an hour and a half

before we went home for Hot Chocolate.

GO UTES!

Elfie

We were given this fun book and it is our fun new

Christmas Tradition.

The kids couldn't wait to read it and invite the Elf back

to our house.

Every night the Elf goes back to visit with Santa

then he flies back and lands in a new spot. The kids have a blast

finding him every morning. And it has been helping with

their "christmas additudes"

If you look closely I'm sure you'll all find an

elf in your house!!

Happy Thanksgiving

What a GREAT turkey day!! We went to my parent house

for the big dinner. The food was awesome

and so was the company.

We missed Brett, Stef and their families, but will get

to be with them for Christmas.

The grandkids waiting for dinner to start!

Cheese!! She loves potatoes!!

After dinner I let some of the kids go wild with the camera

Stockton and I posing.

Gpa and the kids watching March of the Wooden Soldier.

Kristi had a accident with the Lincoln Logs....

Smile....or NOT!!

Hope everone had a GREAT Thanksgiving.

We have so much to be thankful for...family, friends

house, cars, jobs, free country, religion and life

just to name a few.

Libby

Peyton has had to opportunity to Dogsit

our neighbors dog Libby.

I could rent him out if anyone need a dog walker!!

He has had a blast.

He wolk up at 7 Sunday morning ready to go

take her for a walk.

Peyton told Skee on one of their walks...I can't

wait for Berklie to get older so we can get a dog.

Good thing we have an awesome park across the street!!

The boyz are happy to see Libby as long as she doesn't

jump up or lick them.

Berklie likes Libby too!

Girls Night Out!

I went to the Midnight showing of

NEW MOON!!!

Loved it, way better than the first...it makes me

really want to pick a side and be a Jacob fan!!

Stef, My Mom and Me

Got together with some girls in our neighborhood

and made way cute clocks!!

Now, where to put it!!

Thanks Mom for making them with me it was a lot of fun.

Snow Dayz

We like lazy saturdays at our house. There is always

football being watched and played in the basement so...

when it snowed we were excited to go out and play.

Cheese

Skee has been sick since we got home from our trip,

but he managed to come watch the kids play.

Snow angels by Stockton

It took Berklie a minute to get figure out what to do in

the snow, but after getting knocked down and snow balls

thrown at her she figured it out!!

My cute little snow buddies.
