The Children were nestled all snug in their beds.......


Yeah Right!! I was lucky enough to get them to sit still for a few minutes to take a picture in their new christmas pajamas. They are bouncing off the walls tonight!!! It is so fun to see them caught up in the "Magic". I don't think Morgan will even sleep tonight because she gets so excited!! Good luck to all of you and Merry Christmas!!

Easton's Christmas songs

Easton loves Christmas songs. His very favorite one is Jingle Bells and he has even learned some of the words!!! This video is super cute of Easton's version of Jingle Bells----sorry that you have to hear some of my singing?!? too!! Ho! HO! HO! Merry Christmas to you from Easton.

Flashback to 1980

This is a picture of my family doing the nativity scene. It was taken in December 1980 so I was 5 years old. This picture cracks me up because everyone in this picture is in their own little world. I am trying not to laugh and I love how "lady like" I am sitting! My brother Tyler is playing Joseph---so serious! Then we have the sleeping shepard played by me cousin Travis. My oldest brother Kameron is the wise man starring into the distance, and last but not least my Uncle John playing the part of......I don't really know..maybe the angel!?! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Sneaky little Elves

Don't send a lame Holiday eCard. Try JibJab Sendables!

Sorry Mindy, I just couldn't help myself....This is sooooo much fun!!! Grandpa and Grandma look out....you never know when the sneaky elves Morgan and Ashlyn will get you with a snowball!!

Flashback Friday!

I'm not sure if I'm doing this for your entertainment or my own but I've decided to post pictues from the past.....since Christmas is coming soon I dug up some old Christmas photos....hope you enjoy them!

This first one is a picture of Cecil(in the red PJ's) and his older brother Eric and sister Heidi and his younger brother Jacob(December 1978)



I don't have a date on this one but I look about 1 years old(I'm the one crying in the back!!)and my cute older brothers Kameron and Tyler!!! Santa looks extreamly happy as well!



This is a Christmas photo taken with my moms side of the family--Her mom and Dad and her sister Sandy and husband John and her brother Steve(back row). Yes, we are all in our new Christmas "jogging suits" that we got every year and I remember getting in trouble because I kept making funny faces in the pictures---I was an angel---most of the time!!

Which Disney Princess Are You?
	You are part Cinderella. You are hard-working and never complain, however, your trust is sometimes misplaced and people sometimes take advantage of you. Still, you are beautiful inside and out, and one day you will realize it and find true love.
	You are part Pocahontas. You defy convention and sometimes do what is considered taboo. Unfortunately, others do not always appreciate your differences, so it's good that you are so strong-willed. You are loyal and you believe in fate. Your true love will find you one day.

So I saw this funny quiz on Sunshine's blog and decided to see what princess I was most like...I don't totally agree with the results. The Pocahontas stuff doesn't sound anything like me----maybe I'm in denial!!!! I think it's funny that I'm half Cinderella because Ashlyn and her friend Ashley call themselves Belle and Ariel and they call me Cinderella---so it must be true!!

Morgan had an assignment for her art class to draw a picture of the 1st Christmas...She came home and worked on it for quite awhile until it was "just right" and then returned it to her teacher who was entering all the pictures in a contest. Well, Morgan just happened to be one of the 70 chosen (out of about 200). So we went to the Springville Art Museum last Saturday for her to recieve her award and $10!!!! She had a perma smile all day......We are very proud of you Morgan...Good Job!!!!

SNOW!!

The kids were so excited to wake up to snow last Saturday!! I don't even think they ate breakfast before climbing into all their snow gear and heading out back! This is Eastons first time ever playing in the snow....He thought he had died and gone to heaven!!

Oh Christmas Tree......

Well, it's sad but true... We finally bought a fake Christmas tree. We have bought a real Christmas tree for the past 10 years but this year we decided that it would be fun to decorate the tree the week after Thanksgiving. We miss the fresh pine smell but I know I won't miss cleaning up the pine needles and remembering to water the tree....for fear of a fire hazard...(We have had some pretty crunchy trees in the past.....OPPS!)

My BIGGEST Helper!!

This is how my kitchen floor looks lately thanks to my BIG helper Easton!! He is all boy and loves to get into everything and see how big of a mess it will make!! So far he has experimented with Cherrios, Graham Crackers, Pasta, Suddenly Salad and GoldFish Crackers.....Oh! if only I had a pantry!!!
