Happy Birthday to Levi!


On the 11th Levi celebrated his 8th Birthday and was lucky enough to be able to share it with his cousins and family in Idaho! I don't think he has ever had a Birthday party with that many kids! He wanted an Iron Man themed party, which really put my comic book hero cake making skills to the test...which seemed to turn out alright - I will say that it is not my best work, but...We tore into a pinata, opened presents and ate cake and ice cream - A big thanks to the Parke's for letting have this load and messy event at their house! I bet Claudette is still picking up black streamers and pixie stick wrappers!

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas !


We had a good one...It dumped snow the whole day and most of the 26th as well! Boy were we excited to have a White Christmas!! The boys enjoyed what Santa brought and all the gifts under the tree and then SLEDDING on the huge pile of snow that Shane piled up from the driveway and our cul-de-sac...We enjoyed a fantastic ham dinner and my parents...here are a few shots of the boys and their "loot"

I love this place...

This morning driving into work I was overcome by the beauty of our Mountains, all snow covered with the pinkish-lavender sun coming up behind them - the sky was so clear...and the BIG American Flag that was flying so proudly in the wind. It took my breath away...Now, 5 hours later it is dumping buckets of snow on us! I am loving it! I don't think the novelty of this will wear off all season!! I love UTAH!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

How lovely are your branches...Tyler, Mary and family came down this weekend to help with the boys while Shane and I went to our Job Christmas Party. Shane and Tyler - the hero's that they are - went out for a few groceries Saturday afternoon and came back with a CHRISTMAS TREE! The kids had a great time decorating it and we enjoyed watching!
