~The Tree and misc things!

Well I was hoping for a new tree this year. The lights have not worked great on ours for a couple of years and I don't like lights they frustrate me. But patient Jerry can deal with the lights so after my black Friday shopping and as the tradition stands we put Christmas up when I get home. I priced trees on my shopping spree and I'm not willing to spend what they want. So back to the old tree. It took us all afternoon to rip a strand of lights off a prelit tree. YUCK! Boy did our fingers hurt. Then a trip to Logan to buy a strand of new lights. This was our afternoon and how it looked the kids had every box of ornaments unpacked and out all over the floor YEAH! What a mess!

Have I mentioned I hate my picture taken and Nicole just loves to take it when she knows that!

The finished product! Yeah a whole day of it. But we are glad it is up and done. Olivia just loves to pose! This is our family night activity. We vary between Singstar or spoons. Jerry helps Olivia I think Gracie has graduated to no help needed! We hope!

And the taz and his nightly activity! He just enjoys us!

Thanksgiving!

Well Thanksgiving has come and gone. It all went off with out a hitch. My Christmas is up except the lights on the house. Some one isn't feeling it this year. I think will talk him into it by Saturday and he will get them up. I didn't take any pictures at Thanksgiving so there is none to show you. I'll take some of the tree experience we had on black Friday it isn't that exciting though. I am grateful for my family and that we all seem to be pretty health. Megan has the stomach crap that I took Nicole to Instacare over two Sundays ago. What a fun day that was and she missed a week of school over it. Yeah. I do believe my couch has permanent marks in it from her laying there for a week she was a very sick chick. She lost 8 pounds which she didn't have that to lose. I wish it would come off me that easy. Well I'll get on the pictures and update shortly it does drive me nuts that I haven't posted in a bit. I'll try and get better at that. Hope your turkey day was great all!

Disney On Ice!

Well Saturday started as a normal Saturday does sleep in try and get moving and then get something done. Around early afternoon I decided to check my phone and there was a text message. My neighbors had offered us some tickets to Disney on Ice! Sure we would love them. I forgot the camera but we have pictures on the phone as soon as I get them off I will post them. Olivia got to see Ariel her favorite in the whole world. She even sings like her for those of you that have heard her. I'll try and get the pictures soon!

Oh How they Grow!

Our Young Women put on a Wedding Extravaganza about a month or so ago. I couldn't make it we had a soccer game for Megan. But people in the ward brought their wedding dresses and some of the girls got to wear them. This is Nicole and Whitney in some of the dresses. They had such a good time.

Nicole again! These are some of the girls that could wear there dresses! Wow I'm impressed I couldn't. From left to right. Trisha, Britney, I don't know her name (sorry) I know Trisha does. Tania I don't know if I spelled it right and Teresa. Don't they look awesome.

I'm DONE!

Two weeks ago we all had the flu (but Megan). It started with me then went to Olivia and Nicole and Jerry then Gracie finished us off. This was how she would throw up her whole body on the toilet. It was quite funny. We had to take a picture of it. Well the flu is back at least just for Olivia. It started yesterday on the one day in the world that I had something planned. I was going to go with Shirley and visit Ashley and have a day out. I was so looking forward to it! I wanted to cry and I spent the day totally bummed and upset! I know you can't imagine that! I even made a trip to the doctor yesterday because she was complaining about a sore throat so off we went. No strep yeah! But she is still a little sick today. I want everyone well and well for a while longer than a week. And I'm praying we don't get the chickenpox that are going around school. It isn't flu season yet?

Halloween 2008

Well I finally got the computer from Jerry. He was on it all weekend working! What a man. This is the group this year for Halloween. Two of Megan's friends Seneca (the one with her hair down) and Ashlee. Nicole was a witch and Megan was a pirate. Gracie was a ballerina and Olivia was a princess. We had a great Halloween we hit the ward party and lots of fun there. It was a great evening it seems like now the holidays can begin.
