It's raining, it's pouring

It rained here today and what do my kids do--run outside and jump in the puddles. Living in Las Vegas, rain is not a common thing. We don't even own a working umbrella. I think they all broke and I don't know where they are and haven't invested in new ones yet. Can you believe that it was even cold enough to put on jackets during the day. Luckily the forcast for next week is 68 degrees. Merry Christmas to us!

Fun with Cousins

Playing in the leaves

We have been in Utah having a great time playing in the leaves. We went over to my sister Karen's house and she has a huge tree with lots of leaves so the kids jumped right in. They got cold fast, but played outside forever. Uncle Donovan told them about the dogs we had growing up that have since passed away. He told them they were buried in the garden so the kids got to work digging up Grandma and Grandpas garden. Donovan told them he would pay them some money for the bones they found, but after two days of digging and not finding anything they gave up.

Bryan's Wedding

My brother Bryan got married this past weekend and we were able to come up to Utah. We got here at 1:30 in the morning and are still trying to recover from the lack of sleep. Not to mention the fact that there are cousins and all kinds of fun things to do besides going to bed on time. So, I have a bunch of pictures from the wedding and even more I could add.

Meg wanted her picture taken a thousand times. Then she would always ask to see them.

Mattison at the reception. The girls had lots of fun running around outside.

Isabel sitting outside at the reception.

Here we are at the reception. Too bad we weren't both looking at the same camera.

Meg and her cousin Ethan were walking hand in hand out the door. Too cute.

Last game

Izzy had her last game of the season today. She scored a goal. On the way to the game she fell and hurt both her knees so she was a little moody before the game started and throughout the first quarter. I think she likes playing this season, but is ready for a winter break.

Meg and her Buddy "G"

Meg loves hanging out with her buddy. They love to see eachother, but then they fight when they are together. She likes to boss him around ( the girls learn so early). Don't pay too much attention to Meg's mismatched clothes. She puts on one thing in the morning and the minute it gets a drop of water on it we have to change it so by the middle of the day she is wearing whatever is around.

Happy Birthday Mattison

Happy Birthday Mattison. We can't believe that you are so old. You are such a beautiful girl!
