I MADE IT!

I made it...I got Christmas up by December First!

With everything going on I had a hard time finding the motivation to put it all up but by gollie, it may have taken me the entire week, but I did it...Now Christmas...

BRING IT ON!Emma named all the trees in the house..these ones are the Emma, Abby , Dallin and mommy trees... This is is the Daddy tree and This of course is the Tarma tree!

LET IT SNOW & SNOW & SNOW!!!

We were so excited to finally wake up to a snowy morning!!! It was beautiful! The kids had so much fun playing in the snow...Dallin of course had to taste the snow and then he threw it at everyone!!! What a Boy!Emma said..."It's so beautiful mama!" Skotie and Dallin were in a snowball fight, while Abby tried to teach Emma how to make a snow angel! Making a snow fort! DOG PILED! The Snow Fort! We came home later today and found Tarma's foot prints in the fort... She loves the snow...she played and had as much fun as the kids! We are so grateful for snowy days!

These are those parent PAY DAYS...you know those days that make all the messy rooms and bad attitudes seem worth it!

I had no idea how much work goes into being president of the PTA! I have a volunteer full time job at that school and the stress level in my life has tripled BUT... days like today when I stand in front of 38 fantastic faculty and 450 students my heart leaps with joy knowing I have the privilege to be a part of their lives...Scott thank you for standing by my side through all this! I love you Babe!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

We spent the morning at my moms and had a yummy feast with ALL of the cousins. Emma and Makayla played princess' of course...and they both know they are princess' themselves! Abby and Nikelle had fun looking through grandmas photo albums and making fun of Aunt Debi and her spelling... Busy in the kitchen but with grinning faces...it was delicious...Kim you make the worlds best yamms...yuummm... 2 very tuckered out turkey day kids! We then went over to Scott's moms for the night and had a wonderful time eating and eating and playing and eating...Stephanie his sister did a lovely job decorating the tree upstairs while, me and Scott hung the lights and went to get tickets to ENCHANTED(Fabulous) and Jeff and the kids decorated the downstairs and everyone pitched in to help grandma have a clean house! We had a fun time!

Saturdays On The Zooms!

We love riding the bikes and with it still being so warm we love to get them out this time of year and ride on the lawn around our yard. Emma just wants daddy to go faster and faster! I don't think there is much things in life that are going to slow our Mem's down!

Daddy always has to get his pop-a-wheelies in while Dallin is on a spin around the yard. Dallin is so excited....he is finally tall enough to learn to ride by himself.

Clear Creek...or Clear Cry?

Abby wanted to put a picture of one of her favorite memories this year....5th grade Camp! She had a blast and didn't miss home at all and mom cried and missed her the entire week. She did have the time of her life and we were happy to see her...covered in 2 inches of dirt but we even loved to welcome that home!
