Miniature Golfing

We were all suppose to go Snow Boarding, but the
weather was terrible so we went to the Junction in
Ogden to play and see the movie, "Yes Man".

of my family lives out of state.

Only one left in diapers!


Paige is finally... 

POTTY TRAINED!!!

Paige was kind of afraid of the potty. I guess she did not 
want to fall in. So we tried the portable potty. 
Which I did not want to do because I did not want to clean 
it out every time she went and because it is one more thing
to clutter my bathroom. But in less then 2 days she decided 
she wanted to go in the big potty. I packed the 
porta potty up and out of there! 

The best thing is that she stays dry at night so I don't have
to do the pull up thing.

New Years Eve

For New Years Eve this year we were
invited to a party at the Harestads.
Along with the Tidwells, Kofoeds and Conines.
The kids had a ton of fun running wild. I believe
between all the families there were 18 kids.
Pretty crazy. The kids played down stairs while
the parents played a game and talked. Brandon
and I took turns taking a different kid home to put
in bed. Sierra of course could not make it past 10:00.
then Paige at 11:45. She almost made it. Riley stuck it
out laying on my lap the last 15 minuntes until midnight.
Riley could not understand what all the fuss was about
when we all counted down and Yelled,
"HAPPY NEW YEARS".
Of course 2 minutes after 12:00 we were
out the door and home in bed. How lame are we.
Well maybe next year we will have more
energy. We had a good time talking with our
friends and playing games.








Riley Tidwell and Paige dancing. I don't know why Paige
wanted to dress like spider man. She loves that kind of stuff.

Trip to Idaho

My mom lives in Idaho Falls and so we were unable
to see her on Christmas day so we went up there the day
after for a few days. We had an awesome time. We of course
loved riding around never ending hills on the
snowmobiles. Occasionally getting lost! The snow started to
melt the last couple of days we were there so we had to
go up to the hills in the middle of no where. We had fun
building a snow man on the top of the highest hill.
Since we did not get to spend Christmas day with my mom we
had a nice ham dinner and exchanged presents.
We played games and watched movies. Brandon, me my Mom
and my brother were able to make it to the Rexburg Temple
while my little sister watched the girls. It is a beautiful
temple and we were glad we were able to go. We helped
my brother move out of his apartment. It was fun to see
where my little brother lived while going to school.
We also went to a Hot spring pool. The water had sulfur in
in which smelled like eggs. But after a good shower we smelled
better!
When visiting my mom and her Husband John you can always
plan on eating well. After the pool John took us to a nice
lodge to have pizza. Riley got to put money in the juke box.
It was nice to spend time with my family.

Christmas Day

Christmas morning we just took it easy with the girls.
It is so fun to watch them open each present.
Their reactions are priceless.
In the afternoon we went to my Dad's house to
spend some time with him. We opened presents
and played a game. In the evening we went to
Brandon's parents house for Christmas dinner and opened
more presents.
It was a wonderful peaceful day. What's better then
spending time with the ones you love. I'm so blessed
to have such a wonderful family.
