Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas this year. Santa sent the kids an e-mail video that was awesome!
I love to see them get sooo excited that they are going to explode! It's my favorite thing.

Aaron got his new favorite movie

Mitch got some new cars

Morg and her new scooter and dress up

Anson and I spent most of the day putting together his new lego sets!
We spent the afternoon at Grandma's house with the rest of our family for Christmas dinner and gift exchange. The only thing that was missing was Matt and Lindy's family who could not come at the last minuet, but they were in our thoughts and prayers.

Gingerbread houses 09

This was a great night of Christmas creations! I decided this year not to buy the kit but to just make up my own and it was much better with graham crackers. The kids had a great time

Morgan's did keep caving in

The frosting was awesome and the kids thought it was funny to use it to stick what they could on their faces.

Mitchell called his house "Maggie's dog house"

Can't wait till next year. Merry Christmas!

It's been a while...

I really enjoy doing a good fun crafty project. I want to thank my sister in law, Jodi for showing me this idea with a wire coat hanger and some bulbs from the dollar store! I love it. Good times

26 to 23 BYU!!!

Yes, we are BYU fans and yesterday was the last game of the season against Utah. Needless to say my boys had a great time and loved every minute of it, especially the over-time.

Juice!

We like to juice at our house. Can you tell these 2 LOVE carrot juice?

Nice mustaches

Introducing....

Lucy! our newest family member.

I gave in. We got us a new little kitten this week. (LOVE KSL) What can I say....the kids love her. I have never had a cat so I'm just a bit stressed, but I will be OK. :) She is 6 weeks old and does NOT like Maggie our dog. I'm sure fun times and stories are to come. Stay tuned...

Painted!

I have been in the process of painting my basement for almost a year now. Finally decided on a color and just did it about 3 weeks ago. Just yesterday I finally hung our family photos that we took a year ago this month. Yeah for me! tah dah!

Pumpkins

So for FHE we finally carved our pumpkins from our garden! This was the first time we did pumpkins and we got 7! Very proud. Unfortunately for Morgan she had the swine flu.

Fall break down south

Elle and Aaron

Morgan and Megan

We spent our break down is sunny St George, Hurricane to be exact, at the annual Wilson family reunion. Anson got sick on Sat. so we headed home early but it was so good to see our cousins that we only see about once a year.

Mitch and Elle

Dallin and Spencer

FHE in the canyon...

Mitch's first smore

Africa

It's a sad and exciting day. My little sister Callie is off to Ghana Africa today for 2 months.

She is in charge of 6 other girls and they are all going to be teaching sign languge at Kibi Middle School for the Deaf. It's a tiny little village in the middle of nowhere. She could not be any more excited. Her family is a bit nervous but she is starting an adventure of a life time and I am excited for her. Good luck Callie and please be safe!!

I love KSL!

So I have been hunting now on KSL.com for random furniture. Headboards, book case, dressers and desks. I finally found something that worked with a good price, a little paint, crafty friends that can install bead board and more good friends to donate bead board ....taa daahh!

Morgan now has a "new room".

Kindergarten

Morgan's first day and she could hardly wait to go to school. Her teacher is Mrs Cruz and when I picked her up after school, the first thing she said was, "my teacher is kinda wierd."

Wish us luck!

Swim lessons

So it took all summer but we finally got our turn for swim lessons at Jan Lambs Swim School.

They both did great and Anson found out that he does so much better with goggles. He had a rough start but ended up lovin it. I'm so proud of both of them.
