Christmas Eve


I guess i didn't get a picture of everyone with Santa. But these are a few of the pictures that i was able to get. I thought that Melanie looked so thrilled to be on Santa's lap.

This is Makell Hymas. She is just one of Tylers "Friend". But we all know.
Tyler is Having a great time i think. I can't believe that he is already graduated and leaving to go into the Air Force in February. HMM I think that i might really miss him. I think i will change the subject know.


Sorry Hidee the picture wasn't very good.


Reeyce looks like she is not so sure of Santa.






Hailey also enjoying Santa's company and the gifts that he brought.







Paige, how funny is she, totally cheesing it.





Christmas Eve

This year for Christmas Eve my grandparents and all my siblings excepts for Courtney, were able to be at my mom and dads. I thought that this was a really good picture of them with Santa. There is always good food and more good food.

Here is my Brothers and sisters.

Here is all the Grandkids. We are only missing Ethan (courtneys little guy) And my baby and Courtney's baby. What a rowdy bunch of kids. But geesh what a great looking group of kids.


I guess we all get to have a chance with Santa even me.





Emalee and Santa. When he first came in she climbed up on my lap and looked at me and said that isn't the real Santa, the real Santa doesn't have glasses. HUH mom. I asked her if she was sure about that? She just smiled and shrugged her shoulders.Emalee is my little fireball and says and does what ever she thinks.



Dallin was a little excited i think.




Jaren could careless if he went close to him. He liked to look at him from a distance. He was excited about the Santa!







Kenadee liked the idea of just getting a gift from him i think. She just giggled a lot.

A little bit of December in review

Every now and again as Ryan would put it i like to be Betty Crocker. I thought that it would be fun to teach the kids to dip Carmel's and turtles. I think they just liked licking the chocolate off their fingers. It was a lot of work but i think they had fun.


I guess when you have dogs you never know what they are going to drag in. LITERALLY We thought the dogs had a cat pinned under the wheel barrel. One of the dogs finally got brave and dragged it out. Well as you can see it was not a cat. We had to google it to find out what it was. It is a muskrat. And they are even more ugly in person. And bigger.

I decided that i needed to get some unfinished projects done. Some of these projects are tying some blankets for the kids. I had bought the fabric at walmart about a year ago. The kids were able to pick there own. Guess who got to help???? HAHA
What a good guy. We were able to get two of them done before Christmas so that we could put the frames down for Christmas so that it wasn't so messy. Did i mention that it was by midnight Christmas eve. That was cutting it close.

Emalee's preschool had a little Christmas Program it was so cute. They did little songs and some nursery rhymes. They were really cute. It lasted only about 30 minutes, which was perfect.




And last but not least Dallin had to have a tooth pulled. You can see the cavity on the bottom of the tooth and the roots are sticking up. The Dentist said that they had to pull pretty hard to get this one out cause the roots were so spread out. The picture totally doesn't do it justice, i was shocked when i saw the tooth. I am hoping that this is a lesson learned for Dallin that he needs to do a better job at brushing his teeth.

Kenadee's 11th Birthday

WOW I can't believe that Kenadee is already 11. Where has the time gone. She wanted very simple things for her Birthday this year. She wanted a Bumble watch. Well it is a watch that i made for her. Which i think is just as good. And it turned out pretty darn cute i thought.


She also got this cool little perfume case that i got from Mary Kay. You just rub your wrist on it, instead of spraying the perfume. I thought that might be kind of handy.


Here she is opening her watch. She was very happy with it.








And a Bumpit. I have no idea if they really work but she was wanting one. She is always trying to make her hair puffy in the back and i am not very good at making her long hair puffy. For supper i asked her what she wanted and i was a little surprised when she said that she wanted Tator Tot casserole. HMM i guess i shouldn't complain i just thought that she would have picked something different. For her cake she wanted homemade chocolate cupcakes and ice cream. How much more easier can you get than that. Kenadee has always been a great kid and easy to please. We are very grateful to have her in our home. She is a huge help to me and her siblings. Happy Birthday Kenadee We love you.

Christmas Program


Hmm what do you say about the Elementary Christmas Program.The program was on December 3. It is that time of year again. This was Dallin's last year doing the program. I thought that we would get a break but i guess we will be doing the program for the next several years. Hopefully they come up with something new.




Thanksgiving

I am a little slow, better than never. For Preschool Emalee had to dress up as a Pilgrim or an Indian. She choose a Pilgrim. This was the best i could come up with. We made the hat from construction paper and she wore a apron that i had in the cupboard. So i guess we did pretty good.
