FHE @ the Jazz Game

We went to the Jazz game last Monday. We got $3 tickets. Needless to say we were the last row which worked out great except for the fact that my girls thought they were thirsty every 5mins. There was 42 stairs and I went up and down them about 15+ times. The Jazz won a close game and the next day my thighs were SORE!!!

Christmas Pics!

These are Christmas pictures. This top one is a picture with our family and Grandpa & Grandma Orme on Christmas. We get the privilege to see both grandparents on Christmas Day.
This is "Snowflake"- our Christmas kitty. This was everyone's favorite Christmas present. It continues to be a highlight at our house. Only mom & dad can't wait for it to be better weather so it can go outside.

This is a family tradition... waiting on the stairs until dad says that it is okay to come down. As you can tell my kids are having a hard time containing all their excitement. You can also see the traps that are set up around our house (yarn, pots & pans etc)

This was our beautiful Christmas Eve dinner party. Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for inviting us over. We ate dinner, played games, had a program and opened Christmas PJ's.

Christmas Ballerinas

Aubrielle is in the light pink leotard (back left) and McKenzie is in the purple leotard (back right). We love their dance and gymnastic classes.

Loving Home Depot

We went to Colorado and played with my sister last weekend. We had a great time. One of the fun things we did was go to Home Depot and make wooden wagons. Everyone loved it.

I'll I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!

Here's the story behind this one:
We were all loaded in the car to go to Colorado for my nieces baptism. We made one stop at the library to get some books on CD. While Chris was checking out a book, Aubrielle tells me that her tooth is loose and it is really starting to hurt. I asked her if she wanted me to pull it out. She didn't say yes or no so I crawled back into the back seat of our Yukon and started wrestling Aubrielle to pull out her tooth. With a lot of kicking and screaming and crying the tooth came out. I had to buy her a pack of gum for all the trouble I caused her... but now she can sing her Christmas song. She will thank me later.

Proud Moments!!

Braden received a gold medal in his science fair. His project was extracting DNA and seeing it with the naked eye.

Braden also received his Bear Award in cubscouts. He received this award after 4 months of being in the bear den. Good job Braden! (Yes! My calling is in cubscouts- that's why I get to wear that COOL shirt.)

My cute nieces & nephew

Eating lunch with my kids and my nieces and nephew that live next door. Between the two families we have 10 kids under the age of 9. That's a whole lot of craziness in one room- but so fun for us.
