I'm still shaking!

 

At 11 p.m. last night Chandler and I drove to Orem to be there to see Cameron open his mission call. He is going to Hiroshima, Japan and he leaves May 6th. When he read his call I began shaking and everyone in the room started saying "Holy Crap" or "No Way". I'm so glad I was there to witness the SHOCK & AHH, and big grin that appeared on Cameron's face. He is so excited to start this new adventure in his life, and all of his family know's that he will be a wonderful missionary. I love you Cameron and am so proud of you!

LV "The Finale"

 

On our last night in Las Vegas we attended the "Tournament of Kings" dinner show, which was GREAT! We ate a rustic dinner and enjoyed the sword fighting and dancing...even Eli was completely glued to the spectacular performance!

 

 

LV Part 2

 

We visited the M&M store that was on the strip. Talk about overpriced chocolate.

 

 

 

Our entire family LOVES Spongebob Squarepants and we were so excited to see him at our hotel :)

Viva Las Vegas!

So...our neighbors/friends invited us to take a little trip to Las Vegas to stay at the Excalibur and go to the dinner show they do, as well as, some other fun stuff, and of course we said YES!

My 3 little monkey's.

 

This crocidile caught the eye of Chandler who thought it was "Way Cool".

 

David's attempt to fly, tee hee!

Akon Rocks!

Every man should dedicate this song to the woman in their life -- for Valentine's Day maybe? Enjoy.

Phew!

 

O.k., so I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm glad the month of January is over! I don't know what it is, but after the nostalgia of the holiday's and the dreary reality of my post-holiday checkbook, I go into a slight depression and the fact that through out the whole month it was like 25 degrees outside...YUCK!
Well, now I can smile a little more, for now it is February!! It's been a tad warmer--not that it will last long, it's officially tax season...REFUNDS, and we are heading out-of-town with some friends this coming weekend, which David and I are anxiously waiting for! Oh and good grief, we can't forget about the lovey dovey holiday that is around the corner :)
I am officially excited to start this new year now, and maybe start exercising too (well, maybe when it's warmer).
HAPPY NEW YEAR to ALL my friends & family!

I have a brother who's 30

Last Saturday (January 31st) was Brandon's 30th birthday! I hope you had a good day and got everything you wanted :) Here are a few pictures from back in the day.....love you bud, Enjoy!

Bed Head

 

Ahhhhhh....No kids!

For Megan's birthday, we thought it would be nice if we could go to dinner with no kids, so that we could hold some conversation without interruption. We all met up at the California Pizza Kitchen and had a lovely evening!

 

Me and my sweetness!

 

The girls!

 

Me and my buddy!

 

Mom & the birthday girl!

Kangaroo Zoo

We ended up taking all the grandkids to Kangaroo Zoo in Pleasant Grove and the kids had a ball!

 

 

 

Sundance

 

On New Year's Day we went skiing up at Sundance. Chandler & Sierra went with us and did awsome!

 

This was David's first attempt at skiing, and I must say, he ended up doing pretty well by the end of the day.

 

Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dumb!

Mid twenties

 

Megan was able to come visit for about 4 day's while Corinne and Johny were visiting, so we were able to celebrate her birthday. The only thing the kids were interested in was blowin' out the candles, even if it was on a half eaten cake. Happy 24th Birthday Megan, we love you!

Christmas Day!

 

For the first year, and probably the last David and I woke the kids on Christmas morning. Santa brought lots of great things, Chandler asked for a sling shot, Sierra got a big, soft and very pink "My Little Pony" and Eli was thrilled to get his little 4 wheeler. After present and stockings, mom and the two boys (Brett & Cameron) came over for breakfast. We fried up scones with honey butter and jelly and then watched "The Christmas Story", David's favorite!
Our family has been so blessed and we are so greatful for all our family, both near and far. Hope everyone's holiday's were memorable and safe.

I Apologize!

I'm sorry to everyone for not having posted in almost a month, considering that it has been that time of year that I take the most pictures and have lots to post about, however time has not been on my side as of late and for that, there are no posts.
And to top it off, we had to remove the program that allows me to put my pictures on the computer and blog, so that has thrown me for a loop.
Needles to say, I hope to be fully up and running by the end of the weekend, so please keep checking in with us!
