there is not one in your mailbox!!
Well at least this year I took the pictures!!!
Merry Christmas!

Christmas Time!!

Happy Anniversary!
For people who know us well, Monte always makes
our anniversary special.
He did great this year. It is our 17th anniversary on
the 17th of December. So from the first day in
December until our anniversary I got a card and a gift.
Each day represented a year and each gift was in
memory of that year. It was fun to go over our 17 years together.

This year for our anniversary we went to Daniel Summit and
rode snow mobiles. We had so much fun together!!
The trees were beautiful.

It is not often that we get out just the two of us, no kids
begging to use the camera!!! Just the two of us up on
a beautiful mountain top!! Luckily for me the seats and
handles of the snow mobiles were heated!!!This is the view from the back window of our room.
Even I couldn't take a bad picture!!!

Thanks Monte for 17 fun years and another fun adventure!!

Science Fair Conclusion

I don't want Chandler to read this blog years from now and notice that I put Britton taking first place for his school and not recognize that Chandler also placed for his school for the Science Fair.

Then both boys went on to district...

They both also won blue ribbon's at District and went on the Regionals at BYU.

We had a lot of fun at BYU while they were there competing all day long! They did not win there but what a fun experience that we did not expect. We were very proud of the boys and how well they did with their interviews and working on their projects.

How nice it is also to have it finally over. Those boards were bound to get destroyed in this house!!

It's Spring Time!!

Today is the first day of spring.
Time to get Granmalona over to the house!!
She and the kids worked so hard in the yard!!

Connor loved digging the hole for the plants to be put
into. He also loved finding worms.
Kaitlyn is our yard girl and was busily
watering and feeding the plants.
Sydney used this time to not have to share
the Wii.
The flower beds look clean and ready for a new year.

Thanks Granmalona!!

Joshua's Wedding

My mom, Sydney, Connor and I left for
California a few days before everyone else did.
Thanks to movies in the car and
goldfish crackers being on sale the week before
it was an awesome car trip!

The rest of our family met us for the big day.
My baby brother got married!

The wedding was beautiful, the bride was

beautiful. It is so nice that my brother
has met such a wonderful person.
I am excited for the two of them.

The only sad part was Monte left
the reception early to take
Connor to urgent care.
We couldn't get him to stop coughing
and he became lethargic.

He got checked out by a doctor and told he
would be okay in a few days.
It was just a virus his body would kick!
(yeah 3 hours for that diagnosis!)

That did not stop our fun. We got to see so many
of our friends. It was a great trip. How fun to see
everyone that we miss so much!

Birthday Boy

Happy Birthday Connor!!!
We love you!

It is amazing that our baby is now 3!
We have had a toddler in our home for almost 15 straight years.
But all of a sudden we find no diapers in our home and
just this very adorable little boy.We had so much fun with him for his birthday.
When he woke up we sang, "Happy Birthday"
he said, "Yeah, present time!!"
I guess he understands the concept of a birthday!Of course, dinner had to be spaghetti!
Connor thinks it is "dewishes"!Happy Birthday Connor!
I can't imagine what you are going to do as a
three year old!!
(I can't decide if I'm scared or excited!)
(Okay maybe a little of both!)

Go Britton!!

Wow!! Britton won first prize!!
Today was the science fair and Britton was given
first place.
Good job Britton. We are so proud of you. You
worked hard, you and I whined a lot and
you got first place!!
