Happy Birthday Lance!

Lance celebrated his 37th birthday on Jan. 20th! He went sking with Lexi and his brother John. He said that it was just beautiful and perfect up away from the inversion. I made him a homemade German Chocolate cake which is his favorite. I have to admit, it was really, really good, and really fattening!

I have been so busy lately that I haven't been able to keep up with blogging.

We had a wonderful holiday season and I can't believe that Jan. is almost over. I am extremely ready for Spring!! I know I have a few months yet, but I can dream of the warm sun on my face. I guess I'll have to just go skiing with Lance and Lexi next time, to get a little bit of sun!

I LOVE Christmas!!!

I love Christmas time! It is one of my favorite times of the year. We decorated the house the weekend after Thanksgiving. It was so fun to decorate our new home. I love having a mantel to actually hang our stockings on and having a banister to decorate. I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas season and remember the true meaning of this time of year.

Happy Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving at John and Kindra's house. We had a lot of good food and good company. Kindra's family was there along with Lance's family. We played fun video games and then had their traditional bingo game. Bethany, kindra's sister, had lots of fun prizes, but the best prize was the last game. Whoever wanted to play blackout put in $5.oo. Lexi and I ended up winning $65.00!!!!! I was very excited! I don't ever win anything. We had a good time. Thank you John and Kindra for hosting a fun day!

Lexi's Voice Recital

Lexi had her voice recital on Nov. 22rd. She did such a great job and sounded so good. We are so proud of her! She is quite the performer and didn't seem to be nervous. She got a big surprise from her uncle John. He has been doing some arrangements for David Archuleta, and got her an autograph that he presented her with on the night of her recital. She was so excited!!! She took it to school the next day to show all of her friends and they thought that was so COOL!

Let the Holidays begin!

I am so glad that we can focus on the upcoming Holidays and to forget the disappointing outcome of the elections. I was so tired of hearing all the political crap that was out there and just hope that we survive the next four years. I am going to focus on the good things in my life and enjoy the Holidays! I have been so busy lately. I just got called as the enrichment counsler in our new ward. We are having to staff everyone because the ward is all new. I have met some incredible women and am so excited to work with them and to get to know them. I hope everyone can remember this coming Thanksgiving of all the things they are grateful for and to remember to enjoy their family and friends!

We had a great time at Halloween! My Sister-in-law threw a great party! She went all out! Her house was decorated with all sorts of scary things. She had a great dinner with ham and potatoes. Lots of activities for the kids and everyone got into the spirit by dressing up. Jolea loves Halloween because it was her dad's favorite. He would got all out to make it a blast for everyone. She was paying homage to her dad! Thanks for a great party Jolea!

Daddy Daughter Date!

Lance and Lexi went on a daddy daughter date with the activity days girls. They had a luau, so they got to dress up as Hawaiians. They love to spend time together. It's probably because Lance tends to let her get away with anything she wants!!! He is diffently the push over parent!

Lexi's Birthday weekend!

Happy Birthday Lexi!

Lexi turned 11 today! She has had a fun filled weekend! She didn't get just one day for her birthday, but several days! It was UEA weekend so Lexi and I started it out by going to the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua. She loved the movie, but it made her want a dog even more then she usually does. I guess we are mean parents, we just won't give in to her pleas! On Sunday we had all of the family over for cake and ice cream. She loves it when all of her cousins come over! We had a lot of fun with all the crazy kids. On Monday, Lexi had a friend birthday party. It was a spa party, where the girls got pampered. I have such great sisters who were willing to come and help out with nails and hair. My sister Trisha was the hit of the party with all of the up do's that she did! The girls had a blast! I can't believe how fast the time goes! It seems like only yesterday that I was holding a brand new baby girl. She is the love of our lives! Happy 11th Lexi!

Fall is in the air

Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the smell and the sights! We decided to take a little drive today while listening to conference. We went up Provo canyon and stopped at Bridal Veil Falls and then on up to Sundance. The leaves were just beautiful! We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful State. I love spending time with my family and feel so lucky to have them in my life!
