Deck the Halls

This year we were able to get our Christmas tree up Friday after Thanksgiving! We had a fun night decorating the tree and the house! Sara and Zack wouldn't stop opening all the boxes with the decorations in it! I felt like I was speed decorating! They wanted what they opened up put out right then! They were so funny about it. They kept telling me things they wanted santa to bring them and asking when Christmas is. I think we will enjoy this christmas a lot this year! Happy Holidays to all!

Happy Thanksgiving

We hope everyone's Thanksgiving was good! Ours was really good!. We had 2 Thanksgiving dinners this year. Thanksgiving day was spent at our house with Matt's Dads family. It was very delicous! They put on quite the display, which I forgot to take a picture of, in fact I forgot to get out the camera until the end! Then Saturday we had dinner with my family. It too was a delicous dinner that only my mom can make! I did contribute to both meals by cooking the rolls, I ended up making 4 batches! I think I could make them in my sleep! One minor set back was that our kids had eye infections all week! Sara and Zacks eyes pretty much cleared up by thanksgiving, but the very next day curtis came down with it so he missed out on Sat with my family. Tis' the season eh? Needless to say we are thankful for clear eyes, that aren't red, puffy, and goopy. Now lets go Christmas Shopping!

Thanksgiving

I thought it would be appropriate to write my top ten things I'm thankful for:

(The first 5 are a little more serious then the last 5)

1. The Gospel

2. Matt

3. My kids

4. Family

5. Friends

6. Anything that warms me; blankets, heating pads, hot baths, & the sun!

7. FOOD! (especially the kind not cooked by me!)

8. Dr. Pepper, or the occasional Pepsi or Coke

9. Our five senses especially sight!

10. Beauty supplies-actually that is what you all should be thankful for, for without them I am a mess!

Zack's Birthday

This is a little late but Zack turn 3 on Oct. 19th! It been a fast 3 years! We love him to pieces! He is sensitive, yet explosive when angered. He is a good big brother to curtis always looking out for him! Happy Birthday Zacky!

Mule Deer Hunt '07

No deer this year for Matt or his Dad. Jake got his first deer ever and joined the ranks with a calculated 255 yard shot up hill in our favorite spot on Timpanogos. This handsome little buck was taken on the same hillside that all of us brothers and dad shot our first deer...and with the same gun! Grandpa's .243 - "Old Reliable".












This is Michael's spike taken on the last day of the hunt. A flawless 355 yard shot. It was a thing of beauty. All in all it was a super fun hunt.

Halloween 2007

Happy Halloween!

We hope you all had a wonderful halloween! We sure did! Sara went as Princess Rosella,(which is barbie as the island princess) Zack went as Bob the Builder, and Curtis went as a Fireman, (zack's costume last year!) They all picked what they wanted to be, except for curtis of course!

Yummy!!! We decorated cookies and dipped carmel apples this year! We really had lots of fun!
