Christmas...

We enjoyed a beautiful white Christmas in Duchesne this year. Rick took the boys coyote hunting Christmas Eve morning and I took a nice long bubble bath while the girls slept in. We then made our neighbor gifts and delivered them, did a little sledding, and made homemade pizzas for dinner. We then enjoyed alittle time in front of the TV watching the Heat Mizer and Cold Mizer ( this is a family favorite). Just before bed we read the gifts that were in Jesus' stocking.

Christmas morning was EARLY (5am) but exciting as usual.

The kids got Band Hero, which has been lots of fun!

Shandi got a sewing machine.

& Trevin got a little nap waiting to go out in the snow...

We then finished of the day with a lot of tubing and some chili and breadsticks to warm us up.

I love my family! ( & now my blog is caught up!)

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we drove to Phoenix and Kingman, Arizona to see Rick's sister Jolene and some of Rick's old stomping grounds. Here are a few pictures...

The second picture is of Rick's childhood home in Kingman.


We spent some time with Rick's uncle Rocky (Dewain's younger brother). We were pleasantly surprised that he had pictures of Dewain we didn't know existed. This is one of my favorites.

**14**

My little Twink has done it, she turned 14, all by herself, I can't believe IT!

14 at our house means you get to wear make-up, a little more freedom with a cell phone, and DANCES!

Here is a picture of Nikki with her friend Shaia goofing around with make-up.

We LOVE U Twink!!!
