Back in the Saddle Again!

I finally updated my blog! I had so much to
post but I'm finally caught up! We ended
up getting a new computer and I love it!
Check out some of my older posts. I
couldn't publish all that I had to catch up
on on one page.

Valentines Day!

I wanted to share one of my favorite

Scriptures for Valentines Day!

It reads:

"Love never gives up, never

loses faith, is always hopeful, and

endures through every circumstance."

--1cor 13:7

I love that scripture because no

matter what we go through the one

thing that always edures is our love

for each other.

My family this year tried to show more

love by giving each other notes and

little surprises. We made pockets to hang

on our bedroom doors. We then put these

notes and surprises in them for one week

before valentines. It really helped us show

our love for each other more. I think we will

do it every year!

Our Newest addition!

She is cute, cuddly, and hairy. Our family
adopted a fur ball. It is a guinea pig!
Her name is Brownie and the kids adore her.

Hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa!

We sure enjoyed spending time with
Rick's parents. We went up over the
Holidays to see their new home.
I must say it was pretty impressive!
I wish I would have taken more pictures.
We also had a good time taking their snow
plow out for a spin.

New Years Eve!

We've made it a tradtion to go and spend
New Years with my wonderful Aunt who
lives in ST. George. We sure had a great
time with all you crazy party animals!
My grandma being one of them!

Christmas!

Christmas Eve

We got together with a few friends for Christmas eve

at my house. We even had the missionaries over.
I don't think the missionaries knew what they

were in for with all of us. We sure had a crazy fun

time! Thank you everyone for being my family

away from family!

We acted out the nativity with 21 kids. It

reminded me of my family Christmas parties!

I sure loved it!

Christmas Morning!
We had such a great day on Christmas.

We played games, ate good food, talked

on the phone, and slept. It was fun!

After Christmas!

My mom and my Brother's family came after

Christmas to visit us. I loved having some family

come!

Let the Good Times Roll!

Back in December we had the Thomas girls over
before they moved. They were having such a
great time I had to take some pictures! We
then invited the Watkin's kids over to make
a gingerbread house. Thanks for the good times
everyone! We sure will miss you Thomas girls!
