Christmas Eve Game Night.

We got together at my in laws on Christmas Eve for a game night, and we had so much fun. My in laws bought the bop-it game and we had so much fun playing that, although the pics of that are way to embarassing. The pictures below are the kids playing an old game, I am not even sure the name of it, but the object is after you tie a string around your waste you tie a jar ring around the other end. Then you bend down over a pop bottle and try and get the ring on the bottle. haha, it is so funny to watch and the kids seriously think it is so fun.

Christmas Morning

The kids coming up the stairs to see there presents.

Averi and Ayden on there new big kid bikes.
Kaimen on her new pink bike, she was so excited.

Zach, super excited about his new laptop.

Christmas was so much fun this year, all the kids are so big now it is just so cute to see them get so excited about Christmas. I am so greatful to have such a wonderful family and I feel so blessed to have all that I do in my life.

Favorite Sister in Law

I am not sure how many of you know how much I love my
sister in law Nikki. So I thought I would give her a post of her own.
She is so amazing. Tyson and I love her so much. I bet everyone wishes they had a sister in law like Nikki. My kids adore her. She is their favorite Aunt, just ask them.

Family Pics

Here are some of our new family pictures. Thanks to my sister in law Nikki for once again taking some great pictures. I will post the other ones tomorrow when I have more time.

Trip to see Ty

Ty had to go to Pennsylvania for work, so for my birthday he bought me a plane ticket to go out and see him for a weekend while he was there. It was alot of fun, we drove to Baltimore Maryland and went to the Aquarium there. It was so fun to see him, I hate that he is gone.

These two turtles look like there were stuck, this is actually underwater and they just chilled like that the whole time.

Christmas Advent Calendar

So my very cute and very crafty sister in law nikki made this way cute Advent Calendar for Christmas, and I just had to have her help me make my own. I pretty much suck at coming up with cute craft ideas to make, but it never fails that Nikki always has the cutest ideas, And luckily for me she doesn't mind that I love to copy them. The holes have a ornament for the tree in each one, so instead of the kids getting a piece of candy each day, they get to open it and put a ornament on the tree.

Snow Day!!

The kids were so excited at the first snow storm, (that actually left a good amount of snow). They just couldn't wait to get outside and play in the snow.

Collin Raye

For my birthday this year Ty took me to see Collin Raye at the Desert Star Playhouse. It was so much fun. It is such a different experience to see him play at the Desert Star than anywhere else. It is just so intimate and you get to see a different side of him, he tells joke and personal stories. It was just a great birthday.

Steal! Steal! Steal!

I had the best day ever today. So the clothing store Shade is going out of business and they have been having a warehouse sale in Pleasant Grove for a couple of weeks now. Well I got an email last night from them that they are in there last week of the sale, so they lowered there price to $1, FOR EVERYTHING. I headed down there this morning and I was able to find a whole bunch of stuff, for me and for my sister in law who is pregnant. They mostly only had size XL and up and maternity, but since I wear an XL in there stuff it was perfect for me. I ended up leaving with 30 items for $30. When I got home I added up the original prices of everything curious to see what I would have paid. I about died!!! The original price for the 30 items I got was $645.97, and I paid 30 bucks.

The kids and their costumes.
