My Nana

Well it's almost been a year since my dear nana passed away. I sure do miss her still but know she is in a much better place. Jordan, Alexis and I went up to Midway yesterday to 'visit' her. We placed valentine balloon on her gravesite and some pink roses from my dad. It sure is a good thing Aunt Ancy had put that pinwheel up - that is the only way we found the gravesite. I had to remove about a foot of snow over her headstone. Jordan blew her a kiss as we were leaving- He is such a cute boy.

We also went to go see my Aunt Deedee and took her a flower...

Her husband, Uncle Bob, still lives in Midway and was feeling under the weather so we visited him and took him some lunch...

While we were there we figured we should do something fun for Jordan so we went to Dairy Keen - the train place and got to see the Hogwarts train and Jordan rode the little train and loved it. The train outside was too wet.



And not to forget cute lil booger Lex but she just really like eating and sleeping on our trip so this is a pic of her at home eating a goulash meal and loving every minute of it...

2 Things...

I am now fully aware of 2 things, I am losing my mind in my old age and I am WEAK!!

Jordan and I went out this morning to shovel the walk and play in the snow. We were having fun and he wanted me to make 'snowman balls', so, I started making a snowman. Yep, that's when it hit me - I couldn't remember how to make a snowman! I couldn't believe. Fortunately for me, my brain kicked in and dragged up all the experiences I had had doing this particular task and I made the first body ball (something still wasn't right because it was Not round. The second body ball went smoother but then that is when I found out my second (shall we say) weakness, haha. Not sure if it was from my Yoga class this morning or just general weakness (probably the latter). To get to the point - Jordans' snowman is Bob, so here he is...

Birthdays and Ringing in 2009!

December 31st - Happy Birthday to Casey!! I like this day because Casey usually gets back from Wendover and I finally get some sleep. On this particular day, Tait, Jordans' friend had his birthday too. So Tait invited us to go bowling with them. We had so much fun!! Jordan and Tait had a blast and they were a hoot. Steph and Jon bought us some food, (thank you) and a good time was had by all. Here are some pics to visual what it looks like to see a 2.5 yr old and a 3 yr old bowl...






We finally got to see Casey that night and the kids (& Casey) got to take naps before heading over to G'ma Susans' for dinner (a tradition to celebrate Jared and Caseys Bday and the new year). There was great food, fun and company to celebrate with. Lex went to bed at 9:30, a whole hour later than normal and Jordan stayed up with us til 1:30!!! I was exhausted!! Unfortunately, for me, we had the video camera and not the digital and our card on the video cam was full! Fortunately, we caught Sean dancing for the first time ever!! Ring of Fire dancing and a game of (hmmm not sure what to call it) Keep the ball on the table by blowing- I don't know but I do know the kids loved it!! Here are my babes the next day to catch the spirit

Goodbye to the Old Year and may the New Year be full of great events, many blessings and much prosperity to all of you!
