Hanging out with good friends...

This weekend we had our good friends Mitch and Krischelle come into town and stay with us. Saturday night we decided to invite some more friends over and make a little party out of it. We played Rock Band, raced around on the wiggle cars, hung out and had really good time. Thanks everyone for coming over we had a lot of fun!

Wiggle Cars

We got 2 wiggle cars (coaster cars) for christmas... They are so much fun! We decided to have a wiggle car races in our living room. Jason's brother Jon even got on one of the wiggle cars and was racing around.

Monster Trucks & Freestyle Motorcross

Today we went to Monster Trucks & Freestyle Motorcross at the E Center with our neighbors: James, Shantelle, Nick, and Josh. Jay was really excited to go see the monster trucks. We told Jay at the begining of the week that we were going and he reminded us every day that we were going to see the monster trucks on saturday. When we first got there Jay couldn't wait to see the monster trucks... he kept saying "thats so crazy" and "wow"! We all had a really good time and can't wait to do it again.

New Years Eve Night

This year for New Years my mom stayed over at our house to watch Jay for us so we could go out for the night. We first went out to diner with some really good friends...LeeCherie, Todd, Andrea, and Pete. We all met at Johnny Carinos it was really good company and good food. After that we went to a friends house for a party....then to another friends house to bring in the New Year. We had a really good time playing this new game called "What if?" and "Then I" it was a really funny game. Happy New Year Everyone!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

Happy New Year
Let us all gather round and cheer,With a drink of wine or an ice cold beer Perhaps you're like me and don't drink the swill,Or your like my grandparents who live on pills. Maybe this world seems harsh at times,Or its just that most of us just like to whine. I'd say that this is a great place to be,It all depends on how we can see. True we've had bad things in the past,But we know in our hearts that these will not last. If we try our best to be simple and pure,There's nothing our hopes and dreams cannot cure. So, I don't know the value this is worth,But lets all try to be happy and heal Mother Earth! Happy New Year!

Christmas!!!

This year for Christmas we started at my Dads house (Grandpa Mels & Grandma Jeans) early Christmas Eve. Jay got a big Aircraft carrier, a Airforce jacket, football, old school Chicago Bears helmet. Jason got a Chicago Bears Walter Payton #34 Jersey, and a old school Chicago Bears helmet too just a different color then Jays. I got a big flat grill, a christmas plate, and a christmas elf that sat on a chair on top of a turtle. We then stopped by my sister Kims house to say "hi", give them there picture frame we made for them, show them the new puppy and pick up a portable DVD player for the road the next day. We visited with them for a little bit and let the kids play with the new puppy. Then later Christmas Eve night we went home and had a very yummy ham dinner with my mom (Grandma Judy). We each opened up one gift which is the same thing every year Pajamas...its been my family tradition sense I was a kid to get pajamas on christmas eve... got to love the traditions! My mom spent the night so she could spend Christmas morning with us. Christmas morning I was the first one up (go figure)! I got to shower and everything before anyone else woke up. Finally around 8am we started our christmas morning. Jay was really excited to see that santa had came and left him presents. After we had opened all the presents we had christmas breakfast with my mom. Then it was all a rush after that... trying to get cleaned up from breakfast, make lunches for the road, pack all our clothes, and presents. We drove to Moab in a total blizzard on Christmas to go surprise Jason's mom and grandma for there Christmas gift. We got there later that evening and both Bonnie and GG were totally surprised to see us there. We stayed with Jasons cousin Kelly and her husband Collin. The next day we had a really good Prime Rib dinner that Bonnie and Ron (Jasons step dad) cooked for us. Saturday evening we got home to find 2 feet of snow in our driveway. We couldn't even pull our truck into the driveway before shoveling. Overall I think we had a good Christmas... Thank you everyone for the very nice gifts!

New Puppy!

Well I never thought I would break down and give into another dog... or at least not for a while! Last night we went and picked up our new family member. She is a 7 week old Redheeler mix...the runt on the bunch. We haven't named her yet, so if anyone has any good suggestions let us know! Right now we just call her Puppy!

Santa Claus

Yesterday we went to the mall to go and see Santa Claus. Jay has been talking about going to see Santa for a couple of weeks now. When we got there Jay couldn't wait to see Santa... so we went straight over to the line to see him. We were very lucky that the line wasn't very long. Then it was our turn to see Santa Claus... well as most kids are at this age... Jay didn't want to sit on Santa's lap. Instead I got to sit next to Santa with Jay on my lap.
