Christmas 2010

This year we stayed home for Christmas :) The kids were so excited to wake up and see what Santa had brought them! There is nothing better than kids on Christmas morning. They were all very satisfied with all of their presents! We had a Very Merry Christmas :)

Tanlie got a new desk, just what she wanted. She also got a calender for her "class room" and a bunch of other stuff for her desk (she loves to play school)! And of course a pillow pet :)

The only thing Brylie would tell us she wanted for Christmas was a pillow pet. So she got her pillow pet, and a new doll house. She also got a fur real dog that walks and barks and a bunch of other stuff.

Brogan got the horse stalls he wanted along with some more corrals. He also got real tools and a bunch of kits with projects that you can build. Santa also brought him buzz light year and some buffalo chaps just like dads.
The kids were entertained for days with all of their new toys :)

Brogan playing with his animals, building a project with dad, playing the U-draw on the Wii, and dad teaching him how to shoot his bow and arrow.

Christmas Eve

On Christmas eve we met Casey and Laura's family and went sledding and had lunch together. Then we went home and the kids opened their Christmas Eve presents. They got pj's and games. The kids played their new games and then we headed over to our friends Dusty and Diane's for yummy prime rib dinner :) The kids were excited to get home and get to bed so Santa could come. They decorated some cookies for Santa and sprinkled magic reindeer food outside for the reindeer ;)

Grandma's Christmas Party

We enjoyed another one of my mom's Christmas parties this year. Brandon was in Colorado and wasn't able to make it this year. The kids had fun playing with their cousins, visiting with Santa and opening presents :)

Our wonderful hosts....

While we were in Panguitch the kids spent some time with Grandpa Red Dog, and opened their Christmas presents from him :)
12 days of Christmas

My mom did the 12 day's of Christmas for our family this year. Instead of just presents she tried to do things that we had to do as a family every night. My kids loved it and looked forward to opening a new present everyday :) We got to make cookies, decorate a gingerbread house, have a movie night with Carmel popcorn, decorate mugs for hot chocolate and eat yummy cinnamon rolls, play games, read books and lots more. It is definitely something my kids will always remember. Thanks mom your the best!!

My cute kids dressed up for their school Halloween parties :)

Halloween

This year we went to Panguitch for Halloween. Brandon went hunting and Brogan chose to go hunting with him, so he missed out on trick or treating (mom got candy for him). We got to follow the bus in from Tashia's volleyball team taking state, then we had a Halloween lunch and then headed trick or treating. It was freezing cold, but the kids still loved it!

The week before Halloween we went and stayed with Ginger in St. George. We had lots of fun decorating pumpkins, and we went to Staheli farms. The kids had fun watching the pig races, playing, eating, and reading stories and eating s'mores around the fire!

Happy Birthday Brogan!

Brogan turned 5 on September 27th. Some of his cousins came over to our house for his party. We ate lunch and then went swimming at the Fillmore pool. The kids had lots of fun together :)




Brylie 1st Day of School:

Brylie also started school this year! It is kind of crazy to have all my kids in school :( She goes to Miss Monica's Preschool in Meadow. I left her literally laying on the floor kicking and screaming for about the first week, but now she loves preschool. Here she is on her first day!!

August 2010

1st Day of School...

The kids started school on Aug. 25th (Tanlie's Birthday). Tanlie is in 2nd grade and her teacher is Mrs. Stephenson. Brogan started pre-school at the elementary school. His teacher is Miss Guillette. I left Brogan kicking and screaming, but it didn't take long for him to adjust! I can't believe how fast my kids are growing up :(

Happy Birthday Tanlie :)

Tanlie started school on her real birthday so we let her open her presents the night before. She got a stand up jewelry box for all of her jewelry, she is such a fashion queen!

Tanlie celebrated her 7th birthday in Panguitch with her cousin Tayze. They had Princess and the frog cakes and we just played games with all of the cousins. I gave her the choice of having a party at our house with her friends or going to grandmas, of course she chose Grandma's house!!

Fishing

Back in August before school started we went to Panguitch for Tanlie's Birthday party. We decided to go up to the lake and take the kids fishing :) We didn't catch too many fish, but had lots of fun!
