Bowling & GR82B8

Jackson and Dylan had so much fun on Monday with the scouts.  They were able to go bowling, Dylan scored 2nd place with 105 and Jackson did good with 77.   I'm so grateful for good scout leaders and all the time and effort they put into these cute boys.

Our first "Great to be 8" as a new Primary Presidency. It was so much fun. I love my secretary and counselors so much. They are awesome!

We all decided to bring a dozen cupcakes, well JuneTonumaipea my 1st counselor said "I'm bringing egg rolls we love to eat".. (She is Samoan).  ; ) Let me just tell you they were the biggest hit.  So don't always go by looks or want everything to be cute...... food is always good! (I made cute red yellow and blue (primary colors)  pom poms from the ceiling)

We had a VIP wall with all the VIP kids that will be getting baptized this year.  Brenda Watson my cute secretary did this one.  She also made very cute pillow cases with the help of our dear friend Michelle Monk.  I wish I would have taken a picture of them. 

I decided to make a cute banner.

Sara Nay our 2nd counselor made the most amazing cup cakes ever.  Filled with Recces Pieces. YUMMY!

Friends!

What would we do without our friends, decided to take pictures of some of the friends that come around everyday. Here are a few we love so much!

Christmas AFTER Christmas

We were able to get the kids home on December 31st, we missed them so much while they were at Mom#1's.  Were one big family again, yeah!

Dylan was so excited to open all his gifts.

Sydney

Skyler's face was priceless, he opened up his new phone and I was able to capture the moment.

Dylan got a metal detector, might as well be looking for gold when digging holes.

Sydney happy with her Kindle.

Skyler got his from his brother Nicholas. He loved it.

We went to Grandma and Grandpa Wright's

Amy, Dad, Fenella and me.

Merry Christas 2011



Christmas Eve started out with one of our "Traditions" the kids being able to make their shirts that they will wear to bed.  This year we only have two kids because the other 3 went to see their other mom.  So Jackson and Nicholas started planning their shirts.  Nicholas decided on Kool-Aide Man, and Jackson decided on Captain America.  Dad went and bought some blue spray paint and Nichlas used markers.  We had a lot of fun then off we went to Grandma Wheelers for our evening of fun, food, and family.  We had a lot of fun and what to our surprise good ol Saint Nick came and it was a  hit.  Nicholas was "to big" to go get a picture with santa, but I'll get him next year.

This is their cool shirts they made, now were off to Grandma's house.

Pictures 2011

Ok so for Christmas each year it is a tradition in our family that we trade off each year on who gets who.  It has worked out really well, just trying to remember who you had last year is the biggest task.  This year Emily has me, yeah!!!!!  She decided to get one of her good friends to do a photo shoot for us.  After they were all done I had our Neighbor Burton do a little touch up on a few of the things that I didn't like (my gray hair was one of them but don't tell)  he did such a great job.  Here are a few of the pictures.  I was going to show the before and after but why would I want to show anyone my gray hair. 

This one is awesome!  Dallas asked us if we wanted any other pictures and Skyler said "YES, one by the white fence".  It turned out great.  Good Job Skyler

My Favorite!  Love my kids!

Sports...Sports...Sports

Well my two older children are busy little bee's playing sports.  Nicholas is busy playing football  and Sydney is beginning the journey of Basketball. It seems like I never see them anymore and I don't like that very much.  Here are some pictures of them, Nicholas at his City League All-Star game and Sydney at her first home game of the year. I was only able to get one photo of her because her coach was not there yet and I was able to interrupt there warm up practice.  hee hee hee, don't tell.   Oh I had to put in a picture of Nicholas at his first concert playing his new found love Guitar.  He did good I was really impressed.  ; )
