Brrrr! It is so cold!


This was the favorite of the two older boys. Zach and Logan had a blast playing in the snow and riding snow mobiles! Thanks Uncle Marc and Grandpa!

Surprise Christmas Gift

So the boys received an extra special gift this Christmas. They had a hard time figuring it out. We actually just had to tell them. They have talked about the gift ever since and are soooo excited.

Christmas 2008



Christmas was so fun this year! We had the chance to go to Grandma & Grandpa Crump's for Christmas. When I say chance, that is exactly what it was, the road to Idaho opened Wednesday morning at 8:30. We made it to Burley with great roads. Christmas Eve was spent with my mom's sisters at the Wrigley residence. We ate soup and had some awesome appetizers. It was nice to catch up and visit with everyone. Our little family left early and went back to Grandma's house. We talked about the Christmas story and everyone told what they knew. Then Brian told them really what happened. The wise men were very popular with the boys and had much more to do with the Christmas story according to them. They went to bed really well. It was very surprising. The surprise ended at 12:39 AM when Zac woked up and asked if Santa had come yet. The answer was "Nope. Go to bed." Over the next three hours he and Logan took turns coming in and asking. They were given the same answer, "Nope. Go to bed." Brian and I woke up Christmas morning around 7:00. No kids were stirring. My mom and dad were up, we had some hot chocolate, sat around and talked. No kids stirring. Around 8:00, I went down and woke the boys up. It was awesome to just watch them sleep. We had a great Christmas. We kept it small. The boys made each other gifts and I think that was the best of all. They were so excited for each to open theirs. They were so proud of their creations. Each was simple.

Zac, Zac The Baker Man


Zachary is having a wonderful year at school. I think that his teacher is just wonderful. We were invited to attend a Christmas play which was fantastic. They sang, danced and did a little acting. Everyone had a line and everyone did great. It was all centered around the gingerbread man who got lonely and ran away. So what could be done? They made gingerbread friends of course. It was cute!

Preschool Christmas Program











Hayden and his preschool class have been practicing the entire month of December for their Christmas program. It was great! Hayden sang and did all the actions. I was very, very impressed with his hula dancing. He was able to discuss his Christmas present with Santa again. Again he asked for a race car. When he got off of Santa's lap he asked him, "So where is it?" Hayden wanted his race car. He had talked to Santa 3 different times and obviously was ready for Santa to produce the race car.

Snowman! Sno,oh,oh man!


Logan participated in the annual kindergarten "Snowman Dance" He was awesome. Here are some pictures of my snowman and I will post the video later. Lookin' good Logan!
December has flown by, I really don't know where the time has gone. Thank Giving should have been given its due diligence... sorry that it was neglected. We had a great time at Grandma and Grandpa Andrew's house over Thanks Giving. Everyone was there and we all got to go to Ryan's baptism.

Now this won't get me Mom of The Year. I forgot to tell about my Logan's birthday! Logan is finally six! Yeah!!!! He is loving kindergarten and can't seem to get enough of reading and doing his homework! I got to go to his class and read them his favorite book, "Cat in the Hat" and then he passed out some treats he picked out. It was fun to see him enjoying his special day! We actually celebrated his birthday on Thanksgiving Day. Why? Cuz that's his birthday! it was fun. Grandma bought the traditional ice cream cake from Dairy Queen and we put a great big # 6 candle on top.
