Sledding!

Today we went sledding. It was Owen's first time and he loved it. It was a great day to go, cause it was not very busy. We had a lot of fun and my brother and his family showed up too, so we had a really great time. We will definitely be doing that again. Both my boys are such dare devils. Aiden especially, he was going down on his belly, front and back, spinning down the hill, and other ways too. I think he was destined for a career in extreme sports.


These were taken right before we left. Owen was not too excited about having to put snow pants and boots on. That kid likes to have the least amount of clothes on as possible. Aiden as you can see was very excited. He's such a clown!

Our little engineer

Grandma Carlene has a train set up around her Christmas tree, and Owen absolutely loves it! He sits there for hours and runs that train. And he doesn't mind the hat either, which is so adorable.

Crib playdate

Owen has this thing where when he wakes up he doesn't like getting out of his crib. Well, one morning we went into his room and found this. Aiden had climbed in to play with him, after putting in a few toys to play with. He is such a good big brother.

Twilight Midnight Madness

So I downloaded pics from my camera and this is how far behind I am. I haven't even posted pics from my girls night out, to see Twilight. It was a lot of fun, and I thought that after the movie I would be dead tired, but I was so wired I could have seen it again. I am going to see it for the 3rd time this coming weekend, I am so stoked!
This is me and my sister-in-law, Kathie.

Happy New Year......Almost

Can you believe it is almost 2009. That really boggles my mind to think how fast this past year has flown by. I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Christmas. Our's was great, very very busy, but great. My Aunt (who is like one of my favorite people in the whole world) and my 3 cousins came to visit from Kansas City, Mo. Thanks to my awesome grandma & grandpa! It was great to see them and spend a lot of time with them. I realized later that I didn't take any pics on Christmas. I know that sounds terrible, but I did get a lot on video. I would post it but it'd be quite long.
I have Aiden recorded as saying "This was the best Christmas ever!" Thanks, Santa you did a wonderful job! Now its back to life as we normally know it. I will miss Christmas, as always. I love seeing all the lights, and visiting with friends and family you only get to see once a year. I will miss having all my decorations up, if it was up to me, I'd leave my tree up all year long!
Now the excitement of the new year has begun! I love the feeling of starting a new year. It's like a fresh start, a chance to do things you didn't last year. I hope everyone tries one new thing in 2009 that didn't or wouldn't in 2008. I think I will try to get over my fear of E.T. Probably won't happen, but hey, at least I'll try....... Maybe learning to skydive will be easier!

Lights, and more Lights

Last Friday my mother-in-law, and I took the boys to the Willard Bay lights. They were amazing! That was the first time I had been , and it was totally worth it. You get to drive around, stay nice and warm, and see really cool lights, all at the same time. Amazing! We also got to see Santa, and 2 reindeer (Dasher and Dancer) says Aiden. Then last night Jon and I took the boys along with my brother, his wife, and their 2 boys, to see the Zoo Lights. They were really cool too, unfortunately I think we were all too cold, and hungry to enjoy them fully. After the lights we went to the California Pizza Kitchen. That is a really good place to eat, and also very kid friendly. We were all exhausted by the end of the night. But it was fun to get together.

Facebook

I decided to finally join the world of Facebook. My sister Amber (who now lives in Tasmania) has an account, and that was going to be the easiest way to keep in contact with her. So check me out on Facebook if ya want. I'll be pretty busy the next week, as I 'm sure all of you wil be. So I'm saying early Merry Christmas! We love you all, and wish you a very happy holiday season.

Bunco

So, I would like to start a Bunco group, and wanted to know if there was anyone interested in joining. I need 11 other people to join and we would meet once a month to play. Its lots of fun, so let me know!

Update

Sorry, I realize it's been a little while since my last post. We had a great Thanksgiving (actually we had 2). One on Thanksgiving at my dad's, then another one the following Sunday at Jon's mom's. They were both so delicious! Since my last post nothing much has been going on. We got all our Christmas shopping done the day after Thanksgiving. I decided to wake up at 6am and go to Walmart. Holy Cow, I will never do that again. It was insane! So after Jon and I got off work that day we went around 5pm to Target, and they still had a ton of stuff on sale. So next year I'm just going to wait til after work when it's not so crowded.
Also I saw Twilight for the 2nd time Friday night, with Lois. It was even better the 2nd time! Saturday the boys and I went to 2 birthday parties. Then later that night Jon and I went to my work Christmas party at Roosters in Layton. It was a lot of fun having everyone together! The food was great, and I won a $15 I-tunes card. Thanks Kyle! Well have a great week everyone! Til next time......
