Santa

Jace, Brecklyn, and Santa at our ward party.

Jace gets his Bobcat badge

Jace earned his bobcat badge last night at scouts. We have lots of work to do. I have no clue what I am doing! Or how to pass stuff off, so that he can earn badges, belt clips, and all kinds of weird stuff. Lots of kids were getting all kinds of awards and I am so clueless!

14 years

Today is our 14th Anniversary Holy cow! So here is little info about our life together. We met while we were both working at the OC Tanner company. I noticed him walking by my department one day on his way to the lunch room. I would smile and bat my eyelashes at him to try and get him to notice me, he would smile and keep walking then one day he decided to ask me out for lunch we went to Scone cutter. Next he asked me out on a real date, sorta. We went to Diamond Lills as we were walking into the restaurant he says "hey look there is my Dad" I was thinking weird? that his dad would be at the same place we were. Well it turned out that his whole family was there including Grandparents and some aunts and uncles. It was a little odd I thought but it was still fun. We went to the Utah vs Byu basketball game after dinner, and once again set with the whole family. I was thinking wow he really likes to spend time with his family! No his family had actually paid for it, and that is why we were all together and it also made it a really cheap date for him. It was still great fun and it was the start of a great relationship that I have with his family. We dated for almost two years and were married on December 4th 1994. We've been through the usual ups and downs of marriage and we still manage to keep it together. One thing for certain is that I do love him, he is a great Dad and a devoted police officer who works hard everyday to keep our state and highways safe! Happy Anniversary I love you forever!

Christmas Tree Lane 2008

We just came home from Brecklyns dance recital she is getting so big. It is so much fun going to Christmas Tree Lane every year, I just wish that it was on a weekend so that family would be able to attend. I don't know what was with that weird smile she was making while I was taking her pictures.

Russell the Love Muscle

This was one of the highlights of our trip, we were at the Habana Banana store in Ensenada and Russ decied to go down the 100 MPH slide. NOT A GOOD IDEA for a man of his size but very entertaining!!

oh I forgot, here are some pictures of our pumpkins.

Halloween 2008

Hooray we just finished Trick or Treating! It's so nice to have kids that are still little enough to get tired, and one that is old enough to go with her friends.

Jace the Crypt
Keeper!
and Brecklyn AKA Hannah Montana




I finally got a picture of Hailey. She says she and her friends are going to be
Pimp en Princesses?

Pumpkin Carving

We carved the pumpkin's today. I thought we would wait a little later in the day and let the pumpkin's warm up, because they are easier to carve when they are warm. Well, it got hot!! freaky hot but, we still had lots of fun doing it except for Hailey who is against any kind of family fun! she chose not to join us and hung out with friends as usual.


Hannah Montana eat your heart out. Brecklyn had her Halloween parade at school yesterday it was tonz of fun and of course she was the cutest Hannah of all. (The little princess next to Breck is her best friend Kenady.)

Pumkin Patch

Crystal came down with the girls this weekend to go to the pumkin patch. The kids had alot of fun we also went to an apple orchid before the pumkin patch (I have to get those pictures from Crystals camera though.) It was the perfect day for it. the weather was awesome and the patch was busier than I have ever seen it! They had four hay wagons going. Crazy!!! We still had tonz of fun picking pumkins and apples.

We just got home from our cruise last night but, I still feel like I'm on the ship!!!! I wish everything would quit rocking back and forth!!!!! blahhhhh I want to vomit! seven days is along time to be on a ship. The cruise was really fun we had a ball. We got right in the path of hurricane Norbert and got diverted to stay ahead of the storm. Instead of going from Puerto Vallarta to Mazatlan we had to stay ahead of the storm so we ended up in Cabo San Lucas a day earlier and not going to Mazatlan at all because the Hurricane was due to hit there on the day we were supposed to port there. I was a little upset but, we still got to stop at three places like planned. They replaced Mazatlan for Ensenada which turned out to be pretty great too. I can now say I have been to two of the three blow holes that exist in the world, Kauwi and Ensenada. I told Jason we would defiantly have to go to Australia next year to see the third he just laughed at me. I realize I didn't take very many pictures but, we were always in a rush when we were on land. We got to go on a a zip line in Puerto Vallarta it was so much fun!!!! it was also hotter then Hades!!! the humidity made it almost unbearable but, it was so worth it!!!! we also got to experience a little bit of the hurricane while we were there CRAZY! some of the palm trees looked like they would snap and it poured rain like I have never seen! luckily we had just made it back on the ship when this started and that is when we heard that Norbert was right on our tail, and that we would not be stopping in Mazatlan the next day. Cabo was also fabulous other then the locals who would ask you if you wanted to get high if you did not want the other things they were selling. It was alot of fun and I can't wait to go on another one! even though I still feel like I am floating along on the ocean BLAHHHHH!

Kindergarten field trip.

I love the Kindergarten field trip every year the elementary takes the Kindergartner's to the Pumpkin Patch it is so much fun. I was so happy that it was planned before our cruise I would have hated to miss it! They take them out on a hay ride through the field of pumpkin's it is so pretty and then they let everyone pick out a small pumpkin. Brecklyn was so excited that she got to set by her friend Abby. It was so much fun and the kids love it. Brecklyn could not decide which one to pick but, she finally found the perfect pumpkin to take home.
