Winter Fun

Well I thought I was being smart with my post this time. I put in all of the pictures in first so I wouldn't have to drag them all down below my text but then I uploaded them backward so they go in the wrong order. Oh well maybe next time. Anyway we had a wonderful Christmas break and lots of fun in the snow.

Taylin had some friends over yesterday and they all played dress-ups it was really fun for them.

Jax and Tay playing with there new paint markers they got in their stocking with their cousins.

Taylin and my brother Jim. It was really nice to finally meet his wife Cyndi, she is a really great person.

Her new hula clothes from Hawaii

Our nice neighbor hauling the kids all over the neighborhood on the sled. Taylin finally got cold and got to ride on the four wheeler with Jarod for a while.

My Uncle Ralph took me and my sister in law Teressa snowshoeing, it was so much I have wanted to spend every Saturday doing it. I have to take a break for a couple of weeks to coach our young women basketball team. :( Not that basketball isn't fun I just love the fresh air and powder.
Here is a picture of my little Moxy that we saved for those of you who are regular blog followers. She is getting really big and look at those beautiful eyes. I had to take her and the momma cat to get fixed this week. It wasn't fun for anyone but it needed to be done. Fast fact: Did you know that every day in Utah more than 16 healthy unwanted pets are euthanized every day. So please spay and neuter your pets.

More to come...

I don't really have time to be blogging right now but I am sick of seeing that elf me post as I am sure many of you are too. Here is a glimpse of what I have been doing lately.

If you couldn't guess I am the one posing up front witht the purple sleeves.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays

Christmas is coming and so is our first big storm, I hope. Today we had family pictures and they turned out rather uneventful which is good. I haven't looked at them yet but I think they will be nice. We have been having one Christmas celebration after another it has been really fun. I can hardly wait for Christmas this year my whole family will be here. It has been years (probably 4 or 5) since we have all been together. My brother Jim and his new wife are coming from Hawaii, Scott and his family are coming from Tenessee and my sister Sara is coming from Arizona, sadly without her husband. It will be a Christmas Festivas!

Jaxon had a Christmas Devotional at his school last week, he got to dress up as someone from another country. He did awesome on his part and sang really well. There is a cute picture of Jaxon and Taylin by the Christmas trees with the stuffed animals at Jaxon's school. Every year all of the kids are suppose to earn money to buy a teddy bear or stuffed animal to donate and then they give them all to I believe a hospital to give to the children there, it is pretty cool. I am going to post some pictures from his devotional and some other random photos from the past week. Don't forget to take part in my poll on the side of my blog, it is a life or death matter (if you need a visual of me with short hair there is one in my last post).

Dave turns 30 today!

Last night I threw a big surprise party for Dave's 30th birthday. We had a fabulous turn out and it was really fun to catch up with alot of friends and family. The best part was he actually was surprised, I couldn't believe it. Thanks to everyone who came and made Dave's birthday so special. I was to busy living in the moment to take pictures but Dave's brother Dan loaded tons of pictures from the past two Wright family reunions on our computer so I am going to put on lots of fun photos from those. These are up in Washington on Anderson Island in August of 2007. This was one of my favorite trips because my sister was living in Washington at the time so I got to spend alot of time with her as well. I loved kayaking on the ocean playing tennis going on walks, seeing deception pass, lots of fun memories.

My little baby

I guess my baby is growing up, she is 9 months old now. Dave has been encouraging Kinley to climb the stairs, which is a little scary for me. We have never had stairs with any of our other kids so they haven't learned to climb them until they were older. Now climbing is her favorite thing to do, she climbs the five lower stairs and turns the corner and heads up the next ten. Now to figure out how to teach her to go back down them.

Heres to the election

On to Thanksgiving

This time of year I feel like we just rush from one holiday to the next and then it is all over come January. I wish we could just slow down and enjoy the holidays sometimes. Halloween was a bust for me this year as it usually is. I just can't seem to get into it. The kids had a good time and I guess that is all that really matters. Kinley was a lion, Taylin was a purple dragon and Jaxon I am not really sure what he was. He didn't want to wear his fireman costume, he just wanted to be scary.

My fruit gobbler turned out as well as expected, it could have been a lot worse. Once I got it made I couldn't get it to fit in my fridge, I should have thought about that sooner. I finally rearranged all of the shelves and got it in, transporting it was another story.

We just got the pictures back from my sisters wedding party so I will post some of them. I just wanted to say thanks to three of my friends for helping to make the party so fabulous. My friend Kira that does weddings did all of the decorations, chairs, backdrop, center pieces etc. she made it so beautiful. My friend Amber did the cake and it was amazing and my friend Kristen whipped me up a dress in a flash that fit wonderful when I coudn't find anything to wear. Thanks girls for everything.
