BOYS ON BIKES!

Here's a short clip of Sammy on his new (yet very old) motorcycle. He's so cute on it and Aaron has vowed to take very good care of him.

Here are my boys on their bikes:

Christmas Pictures!

Here are some pictures of our Christmas morning. We hope your Christmas was WONDERFUL!

Rylie's Preschool Pageant

Here's a picture of Rylie as a shepherd admiring baby Jesus. I couldn't get a shot of the front of her so this will have to do :-) Miss Lisa did a great job making the costumes and creating this little play. Kids are so cute at this age. Oh and by the way, Rylie can write her name now! We still don't know if she's right or left handed yet. I think she may be a bit ambidextrous like her daddy. Only time will tell.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We wish you a Merry Christmas! We wish you a Merry Christmas! We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The Lights at Temple Square

As silly as this might sound to all you Utahns, I have ALWAYS wanted to see the Christmas lights at Temple Square. So yesterday after church we bundled up and drove the 30 minutes to SLC, sipping hot cocoa all the way. The lights were amazing! We watched Luke II and gazed at the beautiful nativities. It was just the right touch we needed on our Christmas Season.
Beautiful Temple!

Here are just some snap shots of my silly girls from this morning. Sara can't imagine why no one else wants to taste her yummy tootsies. She finds them simply delicious!

Whoa!

We saw Santa!

This morning we went to our ward Christmas breakfast. We had donuts and juice, sang songs, made graham cracker gingerbread houses, and visited with Santa. We hope you are all getting ready for Christmas and enjoying this wonderful holiday!

Sammy's story

Last month I posted Sammy's story that he wrote for the Reflection's contest and it turns out that he won at his school level for the literary section. Next he goes to counsel...I'm not sure what that means but I'm sure I'll learn more about it soon. Both Sam and Kaeli were awarded a ribbon and coupons for some cool stuff just for participating.

ANKLE UPDATE: I'm doing much better. I was on crutches for over 2 weeks! Now I just use them in the morning until I can get my brace on. My foot and toes are still purple even after 3.5 weeks! But the swelling is mostly down and I'm able to drive and get around. I can walk on the front part of my foot, but not on my heal yet. I try to walk like I'm not a gimp, but I still get looks from strangers so I still have a ways to go. Thanks for all your prayers! I'll be back to running before we know it!
