Happy Birthday Glen!

Glen's Birhtday was on Saturday, and now he's 27! For his birthday he started out by getting breakfast made for him. We had waffles, sausage, eggs, and chocolate milk. After breakfast/bunch we headed down to the fairgrounds to the horse affairs and watched his brother Jarom compete. After that he came home and did some homework,and then I suprised him with a message at the Two Rivers Salon and Spa here in Eagle. Which he loves.....he could probably go for one everyday! :) When he came home we took the kids over to my mom's and then we went out to see a movie. We saw "Taken" which was pretty good, and then we went to The Texas Road House for dinner. He sure is the Best! Hope your birthday was Great! The kids and I love you!!

Get together with Mariah and Ben

This weekend Glen and I got together with one of my cousins that I haven't seen in a really, really, really, long time. On Saturday Mariah and I went to the mall did a little shopping, then we went to the temple with our hubbies and my friend Jayna. After the temple Mariah, Ben, Glen and I went to the Cheescake Factory. They sure have some yummy food and Awesome Cheesecake. We had a really great weekend and enjoyed spending time with them. Thanks for coming to visit you guys!!!

Winter Fun!

On Monday night, when we did have snow (I'm sad that it doesn't last very long here) my sister Ann decided to make a snow truck. It actually is really Awesome and very creative :) I went to drop a part to her vaccum that I had borrowed and then I was heading to the store, but Kimmi wanted to stayed and as she said "Hang out with Auntie Ann and Alex" So Ann so yah sure, that would be fun and I took Levi with me to get groceries. When I got back she asked me to get my camera so she could take pictures. So here they are, Kim and Alex helped for maybe 5-10 minutes before they got to cold. Good Times! :) Good Job Ann!!

Missy's Bridal Shower/ Tom and Missy's Wedding

Christmas in Canada

We ended up going to Canada for Christmas this year and had a BLAST, the car ride was very, very, very, LONG, but it was totally worth it. We stayed in Canada for a week and then came back for my brother Tom's wedding or we would still be up there. The trip ended up being 3000 miles around trip, and for the most part our kids were Awesome in the car!! Thank goodness :) On Christmas Eve my Mother-in-law had set up for Santa to come and see the grandkids. So after dinner we were pretending to get ready to do their traditional Christmas Pagent, and low and behold Santa comes to the door. He was all dressed up in his suit and had his bag filled with toys to give to each one of the grandkids. It was so much fun to watch Kimmi and Levi seeing Santa and sitting on his lap. Kimmi turns to me and says, "Mother Santa Claus is here!" After Santa Left we got together, and I read the Christmas story out of the Bible, we sang songs about Christ and the rest of the family acted out the story while I read. I'm truely thankful for this Christmas season and the time that we had to spend Christmas with family and friends. We really had a Great Christmas! Glen was a sheperd, Levi was a sheep, Kimmi ws an angel, and I was the narriator Shem was Joshep, Rielly was Mary, and Ryna was the donkey. Ah... to Fun!! Two little angels! :) Opening gifts from Santa, he got a truck...rvvvooommm! Kimmi got a Dolly and ended up naming her Bluey.. Thanks Santa!

Getting ready for Christmas...

A couple of weeks ago we pulled out the tree and started setting up for Christmas. Glen put up the tree with the kids help and and I started making some cookies. I put on some Christmas music and we got to work. While the kids helped Daddy I was in between making the cookies and putting up the other decorations, nativity, snowman wonderland, and of course hanging up the stockings. It was a fun night for us and we are really looking forward to Christmas!! We are heading up to Canada for the holiday season, and then we'll be headed home for my brother Tom's Wedding. Life keeps us very, very busy, but we love it. :) We are wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
