Christmas 2008

Christmas Eve Bowling

We decided to take the boys bowling Christmas Eve, we thought it would most likely end up disastrous, but it was an enjoyable outing. While bowling they had us all stop, look up at the monitor where a Christmas train was moving across the screen, when it stopped an elf & a name would jump out & that lucky person would win 3 free games of bowling & a $20.00 gift certificate to a popcorn place. The name that jumped out was "Spike" which would be Jackson. And they were cleaning out their popcorn machine & gave the boys each a bag of popcorn. At such a little age they really liked bowling & did alright with the bumper lanes up!

Crafty

The last time I have sewn was in the 8th grade & it wasn't with great success. Months ago at our Super Saturday I signed up to make this really cute purse, I enjoyed it & it wasn't very painful at all! Thank you, thank you Mandee for helping me make really cute things!

I made this apron for the lovely Jody Houghton for Christmas. It was going to be a gardening apron, but turned into a baking apron, I put a tollhouse cookie book, a cute green kitchen aid spatula & a few other baking supplies with it.

Cheese & Ice Cream

One of our favorite past times is cheese tasting & eating ice cream.:) On our way home from Fresno the other day we stopped at Bravo Farms. Quite the cute little place.



Jacksons shirts says "My whole family is this cute."

Why did it have to end?

I turned the Big 31 this month & I didn't want that day to end! Ted gave me a gift card for a massage, which I used that day, he took me to Tokyo Garden & then I "made" him see Twilight. Thank you for the telephone calls & for all the different happy birthday songs sung on the answering machine. We are all tone deaf in my family so I really enjoyed those happy birthday tunes!

My friend Janeece knew I was looking into some boots for my birthday. Look how creative she is with her gift, I loved it!

Ward Christmas Party

I believe Hunter asked for a reindeer, and Jackson should be happy that he's receiving anything at all!:)

Thanksgiving

You don't let your child run around shirtless while wearing fairy wings at other people's homes? -weird!
