The Star!

Presenting the Busy Bees Christmas Program, Starring Sara Wirth! Yes, She is our little star! Matt and I couldn't have been more excited to attend our first school christmas program. I am still smiling about it!
This is Sara's teacher Miss Suzie, We adore her and all her hard work! Sara couldn't love her more and we are excited to have Zack going to her next year!
"And laying a finger aside his nose and giving a nod up the chimney he rose!" This was her part of "T'was the night before Christmas" story. Each child said two lines of the story and then they sang songs inbetween. Matt and I stood up the whole time just so we could see her better.
Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer was her favorite song. All the kids held up their little plates when they started sing. I was surprised to see her singing the words to all the songs, only because we only heard 2 songs at home and they sang 5. She was all smiles the whole time and loved it just as much as we did if not more! Her smile only broke, when a certain visitor came. Why is it that a jolly old fellow is so scary sometimes? Sara has been deathly afraid of Santa since she was a baby, and continues to be so. She brightened up after we told her that she didn't need to sit on his lap or even go near him.
Zack on the other hand loves him and asked for a big truck and a big trailer and a big motorcycle for christmas. We were very proud parents that day! It was one of my favorite things we've attend this christmas season. We hope you all have just as fun activities to attend this season!

Snowy Days!

It Snowed!!! It's been a couple of weeks but I thought that I woud still post this and tell you all how much our kids love the snow!

Here is Sara our little snow bunny! She is excited to try skiing this year again, she went last year with Matt and loved every minute of it!

Ok so Curtis doesn't love it yet! However, he sure loves water and bath time so I bet by next year or even by the end of winter, depending on how much it snows, he'll love it as much as his brother and sister!

Here is zack sledding for the first time ever! He loved it! Most of all he loves his hat!

Here is all three on our deck in the back yard, They sure don't get their snow loving from their mom, I couldn't hate the cold more! But I am glad they do love it for it makes for some fun times and fun pictures. We hope you all have fun snowy days too!

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!

Camping is one of our favorite things to do in the summer. This past summer we went camping 3 different times! Our favorite thing to do (besides get dirty) is to ride 4-wheelers. Sara many times is telling us to go faster, and Zack is in love with his yellow helmet, and Curtis just loves to be on it at all times. He cries if you leave with out him.

This is our lovely Sara. As you can tell doing her hair was not her favorite thing to do camping, nor was it her mom's favorite battle, but it mostly ended up this way from the helmet she wore to go 4 wheeling.

This is Curty, and he is our little angel child!( he has yet to hit the terrible twos) He is as precious as this picture paints him to be. We love him to pieces!
Now this is a special occasion-Zack dirty! He is probably our cleanest child until it comes to camping and then he really makes up for it! He is so fun and was a big fan of the gun shooting we did. All in all we had a fun summer and are excited for fall time!
