Christmas Day!

Christmas morning! Thankfully the kids slept in, so once they got up we let them open their stockings, then we read the Christmas story! Then grandpa, grandma and aunt Ashley came and we let them open their gifts. Hunter didn't have much to do with any of it. We had to open his gifts for him, but once they were opened he loved them. Brylee was on a mission she knew she had to get thru all of her gifts and she didn't change emotion thru any of them. Once they were opened then she went to them one at a time to play with them and had to have them out of the box before she went on to another one. Jordan was helpful and patient while the little ones tended to skip her turn in opening gifts, but was rewarded in the end when she was totally suprised by her last gift that we hid...a phone!!! She was shocked I thought her heart was gonna bust thru her chest. Too funny! I got a beautiful mothers ring from Josh and the kids. We had a great Christmas, but we're more thankful for the fact that everyone was healthy this year and we could be together.

Dad playing with the kids and their new toys! I think dad is enjoying the microphones more than the kids :) I'm thinking we will have several night of entertainment to come.

Hunter was all into posing for some reason this night I don't know how many pictures I have of this same pose, he is such a ham!

After opening gifts, eating some of grandma's wonderful cinnamon rolls, and a good nap we went to grandma and grandpa's house for Christmas dinner. And got full all over again :)


Like I said Hunter was wound up this night. He was kissing on grandma, wrestling ashley...watch out!

Christmas 2008

We needed someone at the house to take pictures for us :)

Christmas Tree!

View from the top!

Ok so how many years have we lived here in Wyoming now??? We have talked about going and cutting down our own tree every year and have never done it. So this year we finally decided to go and do it. We had such a great time. We went with some friends of ours the Brandts. We stopped at the Flaming Gorge Resort(i think) and had lunch in this cute log cabin looking place, they had horse and wagon rides going on. Then off up the mountain to find our tree. Thankfully there wasn't any snow so it wasn't too cold, just wind(I know big suprise in Wyoming :) Actually we were in Utah. Anyway, we are definetly going to do this again next year and the next.

Cowboys Against Cancer

Last night Josh and I went to the annual Cowboys Against Cancer Dinner. We had a great time. It is fun because we get to dress up a bit and go for a nice dinner. It is an awesome organization and they raise a lot money for cancer patients in Sweetwater county every year. Our night was cut short cause Hunter was throwing up. Thanks to grandma and Chrissy for taking care of the kids. I hope they don't end up getting anything that he had :(

Happy Halloween!!!

Here are a few pictures of the kids on halloween. Brylee was so much fun this year, she really got into it. Hunter loved the gun :)

Pumpkin Patch

PUMPKIN PATCH

We went over to the Rock Springs pumpkin patch. It was set up in an alley downtown, so needless to say not much of one, but the kids enjoyed picking out a pumpkin amongst the hay bales. So here are a few pictures from that.

AWANAS

Brylee started AWANAS this year. She loves that she has her own vest and bag. I am her Cubbies teacher(next year I will plan better not to be her teacher, I think it would work better). It has been so fun seeing her learn scriptures and singing songs to God. It is also fun to see all the other kids as well.

Snow, Snow, Snow!!!!

Need I say more. We got our first snow storm this weekend...yes, October 10!!! What else can you do but go out and enjoy it. And finally the kids are big enough to go out and enjoy it with us. Here are some pictures from this weekend. Hunter wouldn't get in the snow but he liked to look at it.

We went over to Grandma and Grandpa's and checked out grandpa's new four wheeler. Brylee had fun going on a drive, Hunter didn't make it out of the driveway :)

Even though it was cold we did enjoy ourselves and looking forward to getting the kids out again soon!

Jordans Volleyball Tourney

1st Place!!!

Jordan had a volleyball tournament acouple of weeks ago and we all got to go and support and cheer her on. It was a lot of fun. They ended up winning the tournament. We are all so proud of Jordan, she did great! We look forward to many more games.

Brylee and Micayla are quite the buds!

Of course Jordan and her siblings! Hunter, Micayla, Byrlee, Sammy Jo, Nathan, Jordan and Hannah. They all loved cheering Jordan on. She will always have such a huge fan crowd :)

Grandma's and Grandpa's Love their Jordan, they also had a blast cheering her on. She has grown so much. They are so proud of her!
