Jazz Game 1-30

Brett was out of town, and had tickets to the Jazz game. He knows how much Porter loves watching the Jazz play so he gave his GREAT tickets to Chad and Porter. They had a blast together, and the Jazz won!

Swimming with PA 1-25

Grandpa Pa planned a fun swimming trip with the boys and Jonah. Jonah bailed as soon as his dad got there, so it ended up just being Pa and the boys. They love swimming, and being with pa, so this was right up their ally!

St George for New Years 12/28-1/2

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! We brought the new year in this year with some sunshine! Garners just bought a new house down south, and invited us to come stay for almost a week. Sundloffs joined us on Friday. The weather was so nice. We filled our days mostly with soccer, football, tennis, and bikes, but us girls snuck in a little shopping, and the boys squeezed in a little golf too. We even had a pic nic at the "CRACK". We can't really go to St. George with out the frog pool - so we threw that into the fun. Roc learned to cross the lily pads all by himself! It was hard to have Chad back to work today after so much time off. There is nothing more fun than getting time to play together as a family.

AAU basketball tourny 12-28

Utah Elite

Porter has been playing on a basketball team, and has been getting a little frustrated. It's a third grade team, and he hasn't had too much playing time. The team played in the holiday tournament after Christmas, and Porter tore it UP. I think his basketball game just needed a little confidence, because he is a different kid on the court now! It was fun to watch him play so hard.

Merry Christmas

Christmas is MAGIC. I can't believe how much fun can be smashed into one month! My kids were so fun this year, and so excited about everything. I have to say that I am sad it's over. January is long, cold, and pretty uneventful around our house. I guess I should work on changing that :)...
Christmas morning was a huge hit. Santa brought the kids a TRAMP, ds games, wii games, and a whole lot of toys. We gave Porter a bike, Trace a 3ds, and Roc new skis. Chad has taken after his Dad this time of year, and totally goes crazy! He spoiled me with all kinds of great things. One of my favorite is my new blender... a BLEND TECH!
After our morning with our family we went to church then headed out the door for more Christmas fun. First to Hansen's. Steve let us all pick out our own ART this year. Everyone was surprised to see what everyone else had picked out. We got to beautiful pieces for our basement. We also got new folding chairs! The kids got a bunch of fun toys too!
Next it was off to the Garners for dinner and more presents! Mom and Dad kept the broadway tradition alive this year with tickets to WICKED. I seriously can't wait. The kids got a new karaoke machine, and can't wait for mom and dad to get it out and start playing with it!

Christmas Eve 12-24

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!

We are so excited we can hardly sleep... especially me! This year we spent Christmas eve with Chads family. We had a yummy steak dinner, acted out the nativity, had a neat thought on our savior from Steve, sang a few Christmas songs, the kids showed off a few talents, and then we played a few games. We got home in decent time so we could leave Santa cookies and diet coke. My mom and Dad came over right as we were getting in bed, and helped getting everything just right for old saint nick!
