High School Alumni Event

I went to High School in Colorado where I grew up and a few weeks ago was called by a good friend and told they were knocking down our old high school after spring break. They had a community event with one last hurrah in the school on Mrch 7th. The exciting part for me was not only seeing my bestest friends from high school but being able to participate in the alumni basketball game. I was a bit nervous being that I haven't played ball for quite some time but it is my first sport of love. So....I flew out for the weekend and was able to have a mini reunion with our group of friends on Friday(I was the designated driver:) and then Sat. was the big night and game. We actually wore the Bear Creek High School B-ball uniforms. I was feeling a bit proud that at the ripe old age of ??? I could still fit in one of those. We were split in to 2 teams of 10 each and as fate would have it(ha!) our team won the game. It was a great time!! Loved reminiscing and walking the halls of good old Bear Creek!! Farewell!!


Love these girls...we have kept in pretty good touch over 23 years!!

Ok so I haven't posted for quite sometime as I have become addicted to Facebook. I also could not get my camera to load pictures and I am not very good at describing things without the pictures. Here goes the happenings over the last few months!!!

PRESTON'S PRESCHOOL FIELD TRIP TO THE FIRE STATION






GIRLS NIGHT AT THE BARKERS.....FACIALS, FOOD AND FUN!! WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT!

Preston had to get in on the fun



We had the wonderful opportunity to go to the Draper Temple open house. The kids loved it. It was such a great experience and the first time they were abloe to see inside a temple. It was snowing and very cold when we got there but when it was time to go on the bus to the temple the sky was clear and the sun was shining. It was a great day, a perfect day.


Preston's favorite part was the bus ride. He enjoyed the temple for the first 10 min. then he was found to be walking off the path, touching every piece of furniture, railing and was really mad because he didn't get to take the "alligator" up and down aka...(the elevator).

Spring in January???

Oh yes.....it was definitely spring in January for us a week ago. We all went for a little getaway down to sunny Las Vegas and sunny it was. I have a very good friend Lisa that lives there and we have been friends since 3rd grade. Our kids love visiting and so do we.....especially this time of year. The kids had their swimsuits on a lot and we heated the hot tub so they could swim. Every once in awhile they would jump in the 45 degree pool, but not for very long. Crazy kids!!! It was kind of funny because Lisa kept saying how cold it was. WHAT???? It was 75 degrees and heavenly. Not the 20+ degree temp it is here. I was ready to pack my bags and head south. Anyone else want to come??

A day at the Park....it was a pretty cool park!!








Erica, Meagan and Brynlee

This was Kent everyday for at least and hour

Preston had a blast. If the door was locked to go outside, he would escape through the doggy door!

Not a Sunday Activity

So I have been so excited to have our church time change to the morning so we have the afternoon to relax. I tried to take a nap(notice the word tried) but the kids were having a little too much fun arguing and creating noise. The kids were driving me crazy so....I told them to get their snow clothes on and go play in the snow. They wanted to sled down our hill we created so I told them to go ahead. Well, about an hour later I hear a scream coming from outside and I thought, "what now?!!" Am I a good mom or what? I opened the door and there stood Brynlee with blood coming out of her mouth and a huge scrape down her face. They had decided to dogpile on eachother on the sled and she fell off and was dragged along the ice/snow. Her tooth came out and her face has a nice scrape. As the night went on her face got swollen and in the morning was even more swollen. Hmmmmmm! I wonder if sledding wasn't a good idea after all on Sunday:) Check out the war wounds below!!

Winter Break Fun!!!

It has been awhile since I have posted so I thought I would try to give you a sneak peak into our December!! Sorry it's so long. Too many fun pictures!!!

Rockin New Years Eve!! We had the Sewards and Lloyds over to play games and eat! We all had a ball playing Rockband, games and the kids ran crazy. All 11 of them. Chris and Kammie's little Raynee decided to throw a can of coke off the kitchen table and it landed perfectly on the floor spraying Chris, the ceiling and anyone within shooting distance!! We had a great time! Thanks Sewards and Lloyds....Good Times!!
