A Famiy That Tubes Together Stays Together

On Monday we went to my nephews school to go sledding because it has a big hill.

Abby was scared to go down at first but after we went she didn't want to stop going.
Matt was sick but that didn't stop him from going out in the snow.


He was very daring. This is him going off of a jump on the sled.

This is Annie and I sharing the tube and our love.

Sorry if I was hugging you too tight, I was scared.

The tubing train.

Mikell and I.

Aidan and Matt.

Suzanne took all these wonderful pictures.

I like this one where she got Matt in the air right after the jump.

This was me after the jump.

I never could land after the jump I just kept flying off.

Thank you family for making it such a fun day.

CHRISTmas

Our Amarilis bloomed on Christmas Day Our stocking were hung by the chimney with care...

Our poor tree died :(

When it was alive

me with our tree when it was dying

On Christmas Eve we all went out to eat then we went to Thanksgiving Point to look at the lights. Sense the line of cars was so long Aidan and I entertained ourselves by making funny faces into the camera and laughing. (there are many more where this came from)

Matt and I at Suzanne's house on Christmas Day

Driving to Suzanne's on Christmas (the snow never ends, it has been snowing everyday)

I took this tonight, the icicles in front of our house are so big so beware if you come to visit that you don't stand under them. You never know when it will just drop.

Temple Square

We went to Temple Square last sunday night.
It was very cold.

But the lights with all the snow made it pretty.

Matt and I were sealed in this temple 3 years ago this next January. After we saw the lights we went to Mike and Annie's to eat a yummy roast Annie made and to watch The Dark Knight.

finding a christmas tree

Seeing as it is December now we needed to go get a tree.

I wanted fall to last longer but I guess it is time to take down all the harvest decor.

Our friends Aaron and Stefanie came along too. I didn't want you thinking that we were going to have two trees. Now that we have the tree I am getting more excited for Christmas. I like the holiday but with this holiday comes snow.

thanksgiving at my house

The Bird
The Feast

The Family

The Pie

Thanksgiving turned out wonderfully at my house this year. We ate and ate some more. I had to work a half day so I put the turkey in the oven we before I left and ask Matt to made the rolls. He was so great to mix all the ingredients together and let it rise so when I got home I could do the rest. Sherilyn made a very good jello salad and Mike brought the pies, (thank you Annie for making them). Then we watched Kung Fu Panda while our belly rested.

The Every Day Grind

I've been Picture Tagged...and you might be next!The rules are you have to take pictures of the following things. You have to do it right away. No straightening, cleaning, or wiping your child's nose. And then tag five others. (Angie, Hiromi, Stefanie, Aubrey, Tasha) Beware you might be next!

1. Fridge

Matt and I each get our own milk. (Matt likes the fat.) And yes we do have 2 turkeys in our fridge, one is really just for leftovers.

2. Closet

On Sunday Matt and I cleaned out "our" (we each have our own, too many clothes) closets and went through everything and it took us two hours. I can't believe that I really hung up all my clothes. This is a first for me. There are more but they are behind the door.

3. Favorite Room

This is the best room where I live 24-7 (minus 20) watching tv. I love it.

4. Your Bathroom
Well this is my part of the bathroom any, I know that it is just a sink but it is my very own.

5. Your Bedroom
I only make my bed 2 out of 7 days of the week. Deal with it.

6. Kitchen Sink
I have to say that I have been pretty good about keeping the dishes out of the sink.

7. Favorite Shoes
These are pretty basic. I love shoes because you can never have too many.

8. What your Kids are doing right now
Well this is as close as I am getting right now. Febreeze is even smiling for the picture. (sorry about the poo in the picture.)

9. Self Portrait

WoW! This is me when I had to work at 5 a.m. today and now it is 10:30 at night and I am still awake face.
