Concert

So last night Krey and I got to see a REAL LIVE ROCK CONCERT. It was put on my Cameron and Rio. They played great music, and even let Krey and I touch their guitars. Oh what a fun time it was.

Potty Training Day 3, 4, and 5

No accidents! However, she did start to go and then she said “I pee-ed” so I rushed her to the bathroom and then she finished, and she had only gone a little in her pants! On day 4 NO accidents, and on day 5 NO accidents. We have even gone on a drive and to the store. Things are good, but lots of work!

She sits on it while we play games, watch movies, and play with Krey. ***This is Rio on her "Special Spot" *** Rio put her pannties on....wrong ***Mom fixed Rio's panties

High chair time

On the 29th and 30th the kids and I went to my moms house for a night over. We got there and picked up grandma to go to the fabric store so we could make pillows. Then that night all of the big girls came to mom’s house for a game night. We played Maddies new LIFE game and talked and talked. We stayed up until 12! The next day some of us went sledding on the snow pile and then grandpa pulled us behind the tractor, it looked easy, but it was a little tricky. We had a great time! After sledding we ate pizza and played more games.

If your kids were this cute then... you would do this too.... so cute, you just have to squish them

Christmas DAY

Christmas morning was very fun, we got up at 830 (a little late, but we wanted Rio to be happy). We opened gifts and Rio helped all of us. We got lots of wonderful things and the kids got GUNS, yes guns. Single shot rifles. Grandpa Pat got them guns, he was sad that Krey was already 4 months old when he got his first gun. I think 4 months is plenty early. Rios little gun is pink! After gifts and breakfast Cameron, Rio, and Krey all took naps. Grandpa and Grandma built a snow slide in their front yard. It snowed all Christmas morning, by the afternoon it was great for sledding. Then we went down to Tony and Gina's and Pat pulled everyone around on the sled behind the four wheeler. It was so fun!! What a great day.

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we went to my Mom and Dad’s. We had a lovely traditional dinner with all of the fixings. Then Maddie played some Christmas songs on her violin. Angela read us a story about the Mother Mary and Jonny read us a story about the Father Joseph. It was lovely, but a little loud with the kids. Then Alyson sang a beautiful song and Taylor gave a talk about the birth of Jesus. Then Gracie played Away in a manger and we sang a long. She did a great job. Catherine also played (on my mom’s new piano), as we sang along. Then it was gift time!! We all got a beautiful picture of the First Presidency from my mom and dad. It was a fun night, thank you everyone. After that we drove down to Pat and Julies to spend the night.

Wow, what a party!!

On December 20 we had the Hall Family Christmas Party. It was so nice, we ate hamburgers, fries, and onion rings. We had ice-cream sandwiches for desert but not very many people ate them because we were so full from the excellent dinner before. This dinner was not the usual dinner it was different, but it was great. WOW, it must have been a TON of work. Also there was a movie of the great grandkids, it was so cute and even more time went into that production. The fun does not stop there, because then Santa came and was a hit. Rio liked to look at him from a far, but was not too excited to sit on his lap. Don’t worry because Cameron and I are good parents we put her on Santa’s lap anyway. (She cried). Santa handed out these wooden block nativity sets that were made especially for the little kids and again I’m sure they took so, so, so much time to make. Thank you and I love it! After that we played to white elephant game. It was such a nice party and we all had so much fun. Everyone helped make it nice but Vurlia and her family really worked hard and made it an AWESOME party!

Snow shovel?

The week before Christmas it snowed at my house, and it snowed and snowed. Mind you, Cameron and I don’t have a snow shovel. So Cameron and Rio went out to see what they could accomplish. Rio used a house broom to sweep away the snow and Cameron used a square nose shovel to move the snow around. I say move the snow around because that is all that really got done. They worked hard for a little while and needless to say I still have snow/ice out on my drive way. But what can I say, you didn’t get a picture of me out there helping.

Fresh Snow!!

Snow Days!! Today we made a snow fort!

December updates

Today Rio dressed herself, she only put pants on. No need for a shirt when you can use a blanket right? While she was getting dressed she ran into a bit of a hang up, her diaper. Once that was fixed she was happy and ready to play. And if anyone wanted to use our movie The Polar Express AKA: Christmas Train. Sorry, Rio uses it everyday. Sometimes just for background noise, but she loves that movie more than juice. This is my boy, he is so big. He is 14.4 pounds and eats 8 ounces every 4 hours. He laughs now and smiles all of the time. He has found his hands and think they taste great. He also reaches for toys and talks. Boys are great!! I really just love him so much.

Healey Christmas party

On Saturday we went to the Healey family party. It was at the Best Western and we had wonderful food (cheesy potatoes and ham). We played great games (writing Christmas poems) and the kids were able to go swimming. Rio loved the swimming part! Then we opened gifts. It was a very nice night but I for got my camera so no pics. But thank you Gina and Randy for putting it together.

The best dinner of the year!

For as long as I can remember we have had a special dinner in December. We dress up from the time period of when Jesus was born and enjoy a dinner of fish. It is so much fun and a very special night. After dinner my Dad reads a Christmas story and we eat m&ms.

Cameron and I took my brother Casey and his wife Alyson rock climbing. We did about 5 or so climbs and then races up the wall. I won Cameron and Casey won Alyson so then Casey and I raced and I WON. We are glad they were willing to go, we all had a fun time.
