Minus 16 Degrees

This morning as I was taking my kids to school the temperature gauge in my car said it was -16 degrees outside! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Some schools around got canceled but not our district. Trent is home with the flu. Oooohhhhh how I'm longing for those Southern winters today....... Andrea, Lisa, Lynetta, Martina or Melinda if you go Christmas shopping today in shorts I don't want to hear about it.

Popular Grandpa

So I thought this blog needed an update and while this picture is already on Shayna's blog I thought it also belonged here.

Grandpa surrounded by girls the first weekend in November as he often is. I believe there were us 6 granddaughters, 2 aunts, and grandma.

Grandpa I'm ready!

Cherakie saw your boat out today and wondered when she gets to go. . . she's named her worms though, so you might have to round up some new ones.

Anyone for Fishing & Camping?

I'm posting this for Grandpa. He hooked this up all by himself and is ready to go camping and fishing - any takers? He drove all the way over to Brigham and back to see how it would drive. I say hook up the grill that we bought for Christmas, and I'm there - I'll even bring the meat!

Mom for a few Days

Last week I got to babysit for Roy and Heather as they trekked down to St. George. Cherakie liked to remind me that while mom was gone I was mom. I don't know how people have kids and still go to school though. . . I was able to do it the two days I was there and may be able to do it more than that but if it have been a semester I don't think homework would be getting done very well - much less studying. I let the girls have my camera a lot so I have a TON of pictures AND several videos of just randomness! Here is a look at some of our fun. Also it was nice to see Mandy and BreAnna Saturday night and then Julie and her kids came up for the week and it was nice to get to see them - once again my camera was put to use! Thanks Roy and Heather for asking me! :)

Hailey LOVES this outfit!

Julie and Natalie - playing of course!

Grandma with Blake and Kyle.

Grandpa being peaceful.

Oh Raquel!
I have no idea . . .

We ate at McDonalds one night and the straws fit perfectly onto Chantels two front teeth! She had fun with it!

Doing tricks.

Brilee lost her first tooth!

Something New

So this hasn't been updated for a while and I figured why not write something?!?! (And I am avoiding the homework that I KNOW I should not be avoiding because there is already a huge pile. . .)

This picture is of course from Disney World and I love it! So I want to thank Grandma and Grandpa once again for an amazing trip! :) Also I want to thank all of you for having the influence that you have had on my life and for the knowledge that I have that each of you care about me and love me! :) I am always thinking about how blessed I am for the family that I have - we have fun, laugh, tease, and love each other! :) So have a better than GREAT day! :)

Happy New Years
