Paigey Poo

 Just look at these cute little hands.  These are the hands of a dedicated monkey-bar lover.  Paige has come home for the past few weeks with callouses and blisters galore.  Can you say commitment to the sport?? :)

And finally, my baby girl lost her first tooth!  Her entire class is pretty much toothless right now, but we will take what we can get!!!  She was so excited... and the tooth fairy came too! So exciting!

Best Day Ever- Snow Day!!

Bob and Les invited us up to Pine Vally to thier cabin to enjoy the four wheelers and the snow.  The kids were in pure heaven!  We seriously had the best day ever.  The kids loved being pulled up and down the hills on the four wheelers.  Then we all went inside and warmed up with soup and bread.  It was a perfect day and the kiddos were pooped!! Don't be jealous of my sweet hat either!! :)

Good Times

There's nothing like a Dixie State basketball game.  My kiddos have loved going to the games this year and especially with cousins.  And seriously, who can beat staying up until 10:00pm on New Years Eve and banging pots and pans!!! (But not too much... mom just got them for Christmas and she doesn't want them scratched!!!)  Notice the awesome snow in the background too!  It made for a cold, wet, exciting night!!!! :)

Christmas Felder-style

We were able to head over to the Felder's to spend Christmas Day.  What a feast!!!  Grandma Linda really outdid herself and there was enough food for an army... or the Felder boys!!!  The kids got spoiled by Grandma Linda and Papa Doug- actually we all did! :) So grateful to have such a great extended family.  

Christmas 2014

Well we weren't sure how this year was going to turn out.  After our Christmas tree fell over TWICE while fully decorated, we were a little nervous at how this holiday was going end!  (It turns out that a tree stand with a maximum capacity of a 6 foot tree, will not hold an 11 foot tree!! Sheesh!!! They just don't make tree stands like they used to, I guess.)  So after buying the super, jumbo deluxe tree stand, Christmas cheer was back on in full swing!!!  The kiddos opened jammies Christmas Eve, and then waited for the big guy and his reindeer to come.  Christmas morning was filled with legos, barbies, and super heroes.  We also built the kids an art desk filled with markers, crayons, and paints.  It was a hit!!!  We are so grateful for a wonderful holiday and the many blessings that we enjoy.  We are so blessed.

Christmas Eve

So our favorite Christmas Eve traditions did not disappoint this year.  First we got together for the gift exchange and talent show.  Paige sang and Wyatt danced.  I wish I knew how to put videos on here because it was sooo funny.  Wyatt was dancing and doing flips and he landed on his back... HARD.  He just kinda laid there for a few seconds and said "Ouch"... then he got right back up and started again!  After the talent show, we decorated cookies for Santa.  After the party, Chris and Dad went and looked for needy families that they would give gift cards to.  They also donated hats and scarves to the Dixie Care and Share.  It was quite a memory.   That night, we bundled up and went and delivered presents to our "secret families."  It was an amazing day.
