The Forgotten Carols

{December 18, 2010}

As soon as we got to Utah we went to see the Forgotten Carols with Tylers family.  It had been a few years since I had been and I was excited to see it again.  It really put me in the Christmas mood.

And who doesn't like to link arms at the end and sing

"We will be Together Forever Someday"?

And on the way out Michael McLean took Stacey's hand and said thanks for coming.  I think Mark was a little jealous :)!  ha ha

Thanks for the good times!

Great Grandpa Gifford

{December 26, 2010}

The boys were playing with this box, I thought it was so cute that my Grandpa got down on the floor and was playing with them.

Grandpa also LOVES to play Rook!

And then we had to say goodbye.

When we left Ryan said "I really like that Grandpa".

To Infinity and Beyond

Grandpa O. borrowed Ryder's buzz wings so he could play with Ryan.

Ryan thought it was AWESOME!

Puzzles

We got on a little kick to work on puzzles over the break.

I think we ended up doing 4.

We used to do a lot of puzzles but then we had kids and the rest is history.

Christmas

The boys played Call of Duty while the girls did something a little more festive.

I don't want to say that mine was the best...

but, it was. :)

Christmas

We went to my parents house after we were done at the Owens.

Ryan got a new scooter and Ryder got 500 balls and was rolling around in them!

Christmas

 {I think that the boys ended up with 3 or 4 hoops over the Christmas Holiday.}

 We left Santa some cookies and carrots for the Reindeer.

{Christmas Morning}

 It took the boys awhile to get up.

And even though Santa was ringing his bells right over Ryan's window he wasn't budging.

After we told Grandpa O. about the World Word Story

he was so excited to get Ryan a sled.

He even had to make a new GREEN pad because Ryan was sure that Santa was bringing a GREEN sled.

The boys got the dinosaur train and a ton of dinosaurs too!

 I made the boys quite books for Christmas.

It totally consumed my life for about two or three weeks.

Next time I will give myself more time!

 After we were done opening presents we noticed that Mark had made a "money tree" outside.

Each of us had an envelop and each envelop had a clue.

We are headed to Disneyland for spring break!!!
Ryan is SOOOOO excited!!

Christmas Eve

We also went to my moms. 

The boys played hoops and we attempted to do a puzzle but with the boys around it didn't end up happening.

My Grandpa and Grandma Mary were here for Christmas, it was great to see them.

{we always bounce back and forth for every holiday}

More pictures to come.

Minute to Win It

{December 24, 2010}

We had an ugly Christmas Sweater Party at the Owens'.

We also played Minute to Win It games.

We laughed 'til we cried.

I bought Tyler's shirt at Good Will and sewed the lovely tree/bells on it.

I also found my whole outfit and Ryan's shirt at Good Will.

{Ryder's little sweatshirt used to be Heathers.

When I was little my mom's friend made matching sweatshirts for our whole family. For some reason we kept this one}.

Ryder Jack

Happy Birthday to the cutest {2} year old around!

The Big News...

Had our first doctors appointment today.

One baby.

Two arms two legs.

We are so excited.

why oh why?

Why did I let myself get four months behind?

I have thought about just starting up in April... but no, 

I will get it done.

 It might take me FOREVER though!
