Landon's work Christmas Party

So on Dec the 6th we had a work Christmas party to go to. It was really fun and I can't wait for next year. His company gave out some really nice gifts. So anyway here are some pictures of the friends we went with to the party. The first one is Landon and I , then there is Tony and Teresa, and then Mellisa and Kenny.

Just a few new things!!

We finally received snow up here. I keep saying that we would get snow before Halloween and we didn't. Then I said that I would be happy if it would not snow until after Thanksgiving and there was no snow. So the other day Marcus asked me if there was going to be snow for Christmas, I told him that I didn't know and we would have to wait and see. So then out of no where it started to snow. (YIPIE) On Monday the kids came home from school and about 2 hrs later we had snow. So this is what they decided to do. It was really cold outside and for a while the snow was coming down really hard. We told the kids that they could not go and play out side because it was still snowing really hard. So Megan( then one in the blue coat) asked one more time and Tony and Teresa(our neighbors) told them they could so we let Marcus go with them. It was really fun to watch them play in the snow and then they made a snow man. It was really cute. I am just glad that they were able to have some much fun and now maybe we will have snow for Christmas. ( I really hope so.)

It is Christmas Time!!!

Now that we are in December it is time for Christmas. I remember the fun we had when we were younger going to grandma Hinckley's and making gingerbread houses. One year my dad made a pig farm from the gingerbread. (My dad is sometimes a little crazy.) So anyway I was trying to think of anything that I could do with my family that would be fun for just the 3 of us that are here. It will be the first Christmas that we have not gone to my parents house for Christmas day. I thought maybe the gingerbread house thing and also decorating the Christmas tree together. If anyone has any ideas for me fell free to tell me. I really don't know what we are going to do but I do know that it will be fun and a Christmas that I will remember. I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season. Have a good week, I will post again. Looking forward to your comments and ideas for me.
(I do know that we will not have this Christmas tree at our house. I think this is very interesting tree. )

Thanksgiving!!!! 2008

We went to Landon's family's up in northern Utah. It was a lot of fun and we can not wait to go up there again. The last large Thanksgiving I can remember was a long time ago. So we had like 60 or so people that came. I also got to meet most of Landon's family that live up that way. I now have another family and I love them all very much. Here are some pictures that I took that day. I would like to thank everyone for letting me take funny pictures of them. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

GAS GAS GAS ! ! !

So I know that everyone in America cares how much gas is. Well all drive and we all need it. Well yesterday gas here in Roosevelt UT is $3.13 and with your Maverik card it is only $3.11. So we are getting there. I would like it to go down to like $2.00 would be nice. So that is all I have to say for now about GAS.

Snow in the Vally but not here!

So this past weekend I keep hearing that we where going to get snow and I was waiting for it. Well what really happened was that Utah Vally got snow and we did not. So I have decided that I am not going to believe anything I hear anymore and just wait for the snow to come. So now I am living in very cold weather and no snow. It would of been nice to see some snow but I am glad that I didn't have to deal with it. Now I am just going to wait for the snow to come this way. I know by the end of winter that I am going to be sick of snow and have plenty of my own pictures to prove it. I hope everyone in the Vally enjoyed there early snow storm.

IT IS GETTING COLD!!!!

So today I got up with Landon like I always do and it was cold in the house. So I turned on the heater and we on to making Landon lunch. (Just so you know Landon goes to work at 2 am and it is early) So when he was about to leave I kissed him and he opened the door to leave and let me tell you it was really really really cold. So he went to work and I went back to bed. I then got up to get Marcus off to school at 7 am and it was still dark outside. So he got dressed and did everything that he needed to do to get ready and I went to but him on the bus and it was still really really cold out side. ( It was 8:15 went the bus left.) So I have decided that I spent to much time in Las Vegas and that I am not going to like this winter because I have heard that it can get 50 below in the winter up here. So I think that it might be time to get some under armer and get ready for the long haul.

I'm not looking forward to all the cold and the mess of it all. I know that it will be fun to have a winter with snow for the kids and the fun that I know as a family we can have. It will also be nice to have snow for Christmas again.

Shooting this weekend!!!

On Sunday we all went out into the mountains. It was probably the last weekend that Landon and Tony will have off before it gets to cold to go out. So we decided that we were going to go shooting with all the kids and have some fun.

Starting on the left it is Megan, Taylor, Kendall, and Shaun. We stopped by and saw Mellisa's dad and the kids played on the 4 wheelers.

This is Marcus and Tyler on the other one. Tyler broke his arm a few weeks ago but that does not stop him from doing anything.

Landon and Tony with their new guns. They love them they didn't really want to put them down. Here are some pictures of all the kids and everyone else that when shooting.

Shaun!
Nana and Tyler!

This is Megan and Kendall. They look like they are twins. They are the same age and when Kendall is at her mom's house they are together all the time.

The whole gang together. This is something that we all love to do and I hope that we can do it again.

The girls all together.
This is Marcus with his new bebe gun. He can shoot this one all by him self.
This is Marcus. He is not happy because of the thunder was happening. All in all the day was fun and we all had a good time.
