Christmas Morning

Santa Came

 

Jeff and I think too much alike.  We both got each other a body pillow.Kenyon loved everything he opened.  We had a hard time getting him to open the next present.

The girls got babies and barbies.

Ashleigh got an ouch on her knee.

Kenyon loved the nerf guns especially.

Logan got a huge herf gun.  But I think his favorite was the silly string he got from his good friend, Brody.

Jeff was very happy this year.  Of course he did most of the shopping for his own presents.

Wolfington Christmas 2010

We had the Wolfington side of the family over for dinner and Christmas eve fun.  Dylan was able to make it for a little while but we didn’t have our cameras out.  We missed the Noah and the Bryants.  Hopefully next year we can all get together.  Aunt Jill organized a gingerbread making activity which everyone, including Grandma Tracy got into.

Temple Lights

We had a surprise visit from our favorite family friends from Tucson – the Billings.  We ate pizza and then went to the Temple to see the lights. 

Get Away

Jeff surprised me with an over night get away to the Buttes for our Anniversary.  A full 24 hours without kids.  It was very relaxing.  We lounged around, went to dinner, went to the mall to do a little shopping, slept in, and went to a movie!

Christmas Cuties

You can see that Kenyon is becoming a little more camera shy.

12 k’s of Christmas

Yesterday Michelle, Gretchen and I ran 7.6 miles.  They had carolers every km.  It was a lot of fun and boy were we hungry afterwards.

Merry Christmas

 

Thatchgiving 2010

We were able to travel to Gila Valley to spend Thanksgiving with Grandma and Grandpa Lindsay.  We had a weekend filled with adventure and fun. 

First Grandma and Grandpa have the best sandbox ever!

They also have swings.  This is were Jeff spent most of his time. 

We were able to go throw rocks in the canal.  Kenyon made me super nervous, the boy has no fear.

Did I mention the swings?Uncle Steven brought entertainment for the older boys.  Logan and Noah were gone most of the day riding around.We participated in a little turkey trot.We also did a lot of swinging in Grandpa Lindsay’s tire swings.

Aunt Jill brought gunny sacks for races.

Grandpa Lindsay provided us with a hay ride.  We were able to sing Christmas songs as we rode along.

Grandma read us bed time stories.

Sleeping arrangements were fun with 13 adults and 11 or so kids under one roof

          

One word  - Swings

 

Makenzie showing Jace how to clean up.

On Friday we went to Merry Mainstreet.

We also stopped by  Grandpa Udall’s zip line on the way out of town.

What a fun weekend!

Gilbert Days

My partners in crime and I have decided to run a few races this season.  So we started out easy with a 5k at Gilbert days. 

The kids and I ran the 1 mile fun run last year.  They wanted to run again this year so we enlisted dad’s help.  Here they are crossing the finish line.

 Michelle is faster than me and Gretchen.  Here she is crossing the finish line.  I think that she ran 10 minute miles.  Way to go Michelle.
