We spent the weekend following Christmas in Mackay. James had a fun time with Dustin and Dad on the Snow machines. Grammy bought a baby gift for James and I and Braxton loves it. I love the look on Jaten's face.
James and I spent Christmas morning with just the two of us our our dogs! We slept in, made breakfast and opened our presents from each other. After we went to our friends Tom and Sarah's (mostly because we wanted to play with their kids) and then we went to James' parents house for dinner and more gifts.
wow,Fruitland usually gets a little bit of snow every year but this year we already got dumped on. We got over a foot in 24 hours, My car is buried in snow so James took the Truck to work and I guess I'll just stay home until we can dig it out!
We got our tree all Decorated. I love this time of year. We have had such a great year. We feel so blessed.
We Got our christmas wish already, We have a baby coming in JULY! We just got its first Photo shoot done, everything looks great. We were laughing because when the ultrasound was on the baby started moving its hands up and down, James was so happy to see that our gummi bear is already rubbing his head...just like its dad!!! We are so excited and feel so blessed!
James REALLY wanted a real Tree this year. Growing up he never went into the mountains to get a tree, so I decided that if we were going to have a real tree it needed to be one from the mountains so we went up with three other families to get our First REAL tree. James did find a beautiful tree, yet he didn't realize that we don't have enough room in our small house for a 15 foot tree so after we cut it down to fit, it is charlie brownish, but I still love it!!!
I was very greatful that everyone could come to Boise this year for Thanksgiving. With James always having to work the next day it is really hard to make it to Mackay and back. But we had a great time. Ivie and Josh were great hosts. (Ivie has always been the hostess with the mostess!) We were also able to have dinner left overs the next night with James' Grandparents.
Sorry I have some catching up to do with my blogging but better late then never right? Haylee had a thanksgiving play at her school so I took Kyla and Kole (shila's kids) to watch. Kindergartners are so great! Rylee (tim and sarah's daughter) was also in it.
Our Primerica team had a big event in SLC this last weekend. We were the #2 Baseshop and we were competing against several baseshops that have been around 6 or 7 years and we have only been going since June. It was an awesome event!
I was able to spend Halloween with Braxten and Jaten at the state Volleyball Toun. They had so much fun Trick or Treating and going to the game dressed up.
Happy Birthday Bro! I know its a little late. But at least you get to celebrate the whole weekend.
Sorry its late! But I didn't get a chance to blog it, so better late than never. Thank you for taking James hunting for YOUR birthday. I know he had a great time and is looking forward to going again and again and again....Hopefully by next fall he will be able to go for weeks at a time! But we love you lots.
Wow 4 years old. He even sounds older and more mature. He makes me laugh everyday. I talk to him everyday on the phone most of the time our conversation is all about uncle Jimmy but I still LOVE every minute of it. So have a very happy birthday buddy I wish I could be there!
One whole year. We celebrated our first anniversary yesterday. We didn't really do anything exciting. We went to dinner on Sunday and Monday James got inducted into the Elks!! I had appointments but I came late and got to see a couple of video's about the elks. I still don't really understand what they do...but James wanted to join because they have dinner every Tuesday for $4, and they have poker night once a month. His grandfather is an Elk so I guess they can go together.
But it has been a wonderful year. Everyone told us that the first year is the hardest, I really hope so because I didn't think it was hard at all. We have such a good time together, its great to spend every night with your best friend. I can't wait to spend the next 80 years with him. He is such a great guy, he works so hard and has a great heart. Plus he can always make me laugh and as long as I am laughing I can't complain.
I love you babe. Thanks for making this year so great!
Dustin is always being a trickster but this time he managed to get almost everyone. He has them place a funnel in the edge of their pants and they place a penny on their head and try to get it into the funnel. Although when they place their head back to put the penny on it he dumps water into the funnel. Way too funny.
James and I went to Mackay for the weekend, and since both of us had friday off we were able to leave earlier than usual, So we stopped at Craters of the Moon. I love that place and James has never been there so we stopped and walked around. We went to one cave but I wasn't prepared (I was wearing a dress and ballet slippers) But we had a good time.
