Lilly's Blog

Well today my oldest daughter,Lilly, came to tell me that when she went to my moms this weekend for a couple hours her and her best friend Carlei started her a blog. She is so cute she makes me laugh. When she told me what the address of her blog was I went to check it out. I laughed and cried at the same time when I read it. Some of the stuff she said makes me feel bad. But also she's growing up to fast and is too smart. Just thought I would share that with all of you. So check it out I put a link to hers from mine.

Well Christmas was a crazy time for us. I worked everynight the week priar to Christmas til 1:00 AM. Although I had Friday night off. We went to Brandons moms on Friday and Santa Clause came to see the kids. Hayden talks about Santa all the time. He loves Santa. He asked me if we could go to the hospital and get a new baby and name him Santa. But when it come time to seeing Santa NO WAY! He was having nothing to do with it. But after Santa left he liked him again. Then Saturday I had to be at work at 5:30 AM again. Got off work on Saturday came home changed and went to Brigham for a family party. We left Brigham about 8 and went to Morgan to Brandons uncles house. We stayed there and played ping pong til 1 AM. The kids love to go there cause Brandons uncle has the cutest little boy thats name is Blaise. He is 6 and so funny. His moms name is Kami also so he always thinks thats funny. When we walked in Blaise looked at his mom and said, "Mom say hi to Kami". He thought he was so funny. He loves Lilly and calls her his girl. Their house is a kids dream house. We came home from Morgan in a terrible snow storm. We woke up early the next morning got ready and went to Malad to see Brandon's grandma. Came home about 5:30. Got home worked on the house a little. Got up Monday morning ran around all day while the kids stayed home with Brandon and watched Christmas movies with him. Went to Brandon's Grandmas in Clearfield Christmas eve and we got in the terrible snow storm(guess I got my white Christmas I was dreaming of). Opened presents there then went to Brandon's moms and opened Jammies. By the way the kids dad took them shopping and bought me my cute jammies I have on in the pictures and the slippers. Thanks kids. Love them! Then we got up Christmas morning and my parents and brother and Brandon's parents and brother came to watch the kids open Santa presents! Wow the kids got spoiled! I think I will definatley cut back next year. Between grandparents and Santa WOW! They all got what they wanted and more except Lilly got a laptop and when we opened it and tried to set it up it would not turn on. So after spending a day on the phone being placed on hold they are sending Lilly a new laptop. But it could take up to 20 business days. So Lilly has to wait for her big gift. But anyway we made a big breakfast for everyone and the kids left with their dad at 10 AM. So I spent the rest of the day cleaning up garbage and oragnizing bedrooms with new toys. SO..... hope everybody had a fun, exciting, and safe Christmas! Happy New Year!

THE CHRISTMAS PARTY

I have to apologize I have been a terrible blogger lately. I have been working so many hours at work its making me crazy. We had a family Christmas party at my brothers house in Lehi on Saturday evening and just so you have an idea of how tired I was at it, I worked Friday night til 1:30 A.M. and had to be back at work at 5:30 A.M. to open. So sorry if I look terrible in the pics. I was so tired. But we had alot of fun. Megan made homemade pizza and we played lots of games. One of them she made us wear a scarf and oven mitts when we rolled a four on the dice and we had to try to unwrap a present she had wrapped like 50 times. It was quite funny to watch, but Brandon never rolled a four so Megan finally changed it to roll a six at the end cause thats what he kept rolling and then he rolled a four. Alyssa won that game but was too shy for the pics. Then we played a game that we had to divide in two teams and decorate one person on our team like a Christmas Tree. I got stuck with my brother and Dad and they got quite perverted. My nephew couldn't figure out why they hung blue christmas balls between my brother Joes legs. It was pretty comical. Brandon and my Moms team won at decorating Lilly. Then we watched Polar Express. The weather was terrible on the way down and before we left my two brothers went out to plow the driveway. They got a lot more snow than we did at home. But it ws fun to get together and play games to celebrate Christmas. Thanks Megan for all your hardwork at planning a fun Christmas Party.
