Highlights!

Here are some highlights from the last couple of months. Christmas started really early for us this year because we decided we wanted to take our parents to see Wicked and we had to make sure his parents could travel here, etc. We love that show! I've seen it 3 times now and Jeff twice. We had the kids in a tumbling class this fall which was fun. They seemed to like it. Conference of course was great. Emmalyn didn't seem to be able to stay seated a focused though. Tell me a 2 year old that can. She was crackin us up with the dolls, the la la's(blankets) and the fact that she had to park it right on top of us. The whole reason I took a picture of the flip flops was because my sister-in-law had just blogged about breaking her favorite pair just days before mine broke so I was going to blog about mine when it happened but well you know how up to date I am with the blogging. Anyway, that one is for you Kylie. I'm going to keep you all posted on Emmalyn's hair. Why? you may ask. Well, just because it kills me that my almost 3 year old has less hair than many 6 month olds and I am very excited to see it growing. Even though she hates to have me comb it or do pigtails or anything to it. I took Emma to the open house at the Fire Station because she LOVES fire trucks. We had a good time. Jeff and Cameron were off to St. George for his cousin's wedding. Like many of you we also spent some time campaigning for Prop 8 and I just had to share with you the vandalism we received. I'm pretty sure I know who did it and while at first I was kinda mad, now I just laugh. Of course there was Halloween. We had a good time this year dressing up as Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. We had a lot of parties and activities so we dressed up a lot and got good use of our costumes. Jeff and I got to stow away to Seattle for 4 days in November without the kids. We had a good time when Jeff wasn't in meetings. It was his annual conference and he was recognized for receiving his FCAS (Fellow of the Casualty Acturial Society) designation. Kids got to go to Grandma and Grandpa Wenny's(Farr) for the week in Utah. We had a great Thanksgiving at my sister Kelly's. We missed Mom and Dad and Maw-Maw and Pa-Pa as they were off to Arizona at my brother's. I have no pictures to show for it but my brother-in-law Dustin or Emeril as we like to call him now made a great turkey. His first one! Then the Saturday after Thanksgiving Jeff and I finally made it around to having our house painted. The picture of him is taking down the shelf above the washer and dryer. It was on there pretty good. Anyway, since then we have been doing home improvements. Just little things here and there. I've decided after almost 4 years of marriage and 2 kids it is time to make my house my own and take pride in ownership:) Well, now done blabbing. I wonder if anyone is still reading or just skipped to the slideshow??? Hmmm...I probably would have just skipped to the slideshow.
