Christmas Memories

I LOVE Christmas.........I love to see the expresssion on the faces of my family and friends when they open up their gifts....Having family traditions. This year I have been so busy trying to making a living that I almost forgot the part of what makes my life....Spending time with my family. Work has been so time consuming and overwhelming. I kept telling myself that I am doing it because there are a lot of people out there that are depending on me to keep them healthy.....Which is totally why someone becomes a nurse. I only hope that my family can forgive me....My husband has been amazing through all of it. He has picked up my slack and kept everthing going!

On Saturday after I got home from work from yet another clinic I sat down with the kids to make our Christmas cards. They hugged on me and loved me and didn't want to let me out of their site....I thought what they heck am I doing? It is Christmas in one week and what have we done to create memories for the kids. So we spent all weekend baking, making cards and wrapping presents. Santa Claus made a suprise appearance in our window to check in..... So every night till Christmas we have projects to do. The kids are loving it and so am I.

Merry Christmas everyone! May the New Year be an AWESOME one!

Three day weekend started off with a bang

Last weekend I decided I would take a much needed break from work and take Friday off.

WOW did it start out with a bang!



I had just dropped Kagan off to school and was going to run some errands. The girl hit me and "didn't know what happened". Lucky for me the cop gave her a ticket for improper lane change and she did have insurance. Now just the hassle of getting it fixed. What a huge blessing that Kagan wasn't with me. That was the door he was sitting by.......

On Saturday we went to Salt Lake and stayed downtown. We had tickets to watch the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on Sunday. When we got to Salt Lake we walked downtown to Temple Square to walk through the lights.







The pictures are a little dark but we had a great time! The lights are beautiful!

After we walked through Temple Square we decided to walk down to 2News and check out the studio. We were there close enough to 10:00 that we hung out at the Gallivan Center until it was time for the 10:00 news. Then we went down there to try to get on the news. Kaysha and Haddy had a ball. We made it on the news in the background behind Brian Mullahy.








The Morman Tabernacle Choir was amazing! That was a very special program! Thank you so much Grandma Sharon for inviting us to come with you! We had a great weekend!

Thanksgiving Weekend.....

Our Thanksgiving Holiday was filled with many hours driving in the car and waiting in lines....

Wednesday night before Thanksgiving was Blu's 32nd birthday. We celebrated at South China Cafe...

Thanksgiving we traveled to Grand Junction to have Thanksgiving with my family. Lots of traveling but well worth it. The sweet potatoes were to die for! Good Job Ang on the new recipe!


Next came early morning shopping at WalMart....We arrived at Walmart at 3:00 am. My sister and sister-n-law are the BEST! They helped me get everything I needed! I left me house at 2:30am and got home at 9:30...Yes I am crazy. 7 hours of shopping in by 9:30 in the morning. The things we do for our kids!

Black Friday was Deagan's 6th birthday also. We went to McDonalds to celebrate his birthday. I am not sure who had more fun Blu and Rodger or the kids.They only broke 2 trays as they were sliding down the slides on them. Michelle, Ang and I were trying to stay awake from our early morning adventure.

On Saturday we went to Jumpin Jacks and then to the light parade in Spanish fork. Kagan's favorite things there were the jumpin frogs, horses and the ski jump. Kaysha loved the balarina dancers. It is amazing to drive through there. We had a great weekend!
