Christmas Day 2010

CHRISTMAS EVE 2010

We a great time Christmas Eve. Jay and his family, Grandpa and Grandma Brower and the Kremers, all came and help us celebrate. It was a full house but was worth it. We had some really good food and some reat memories made.

Hannah's Band Concert

Hannah had her very first Band Concert. Grandpa and Grandma Brower and Grandma Ricks all came and watched. She also had to play a solo. She did so good, we were very proud of her.

Hannah and Brad Moser, they are good friends and both play trumpet.

Hannah is the one with the white bow.

DISNEYLAND 2010

This year for part of our christmas, we took the kids to Disneyland. We had so much fun. The weather was so warm, I totally over dressed for the weather. We also took Jaron's Mom which was a treat. The kids loved having her there and so did we. She was a big help with the kids. As you can see we did a lot of fun things. We had so much fun we can hardly wait to go again.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Every year for Family Home Evening we set up our christmas trees. The kids have small trees downstairs that they decorate with their ornaments. We also have a big family tree upstairs that mom gets to decorate with what she wants. The kids also help with that. I love this tradition. Sometimes we have to break it up into 2 nights or days depending on how much time we have or what we have going on. This year we did it on saturday. Due to the next week were leaving for Disneyland.

Arrow of Light Award

Cade received his Arrow of Light Award this year. This award is the highest award you can receive in Cub Scouts. He was able to share the night with 2 other scouts, Travis Phillips and Reagan Reese. We are so proud of him and for his accomplishments.

Halloween 2010

This year for Halloween, Jaron and I were in Oregon for Uncle Tom's funeral. So Grandma Brower was on Halloweem duty. We didn't get very many photos but here is what I do have. Cade was a skeleton, he couldn't were is mask at school but he did for trick or treating. McKay was a really cute Giraffe, and McKenzie was our Southern Bell. Hannah was a sweet Micheal Jackson, but we have no photos of her.

Football Season for Cade

The Trojans... This was Cade's first year of playing tackle football. They did really well considering this was the first time in full gear. They had some great coaches, and most of the time Cade played Offense and Defense. His favorite was Defensive End. He loved sacking the QB. I am sad the season is over but there is always next year. They ended the season with 3-4. Good Job Boys.

The after the game huddle.

Family Photo Time

Here is our Family Photos we had taken. I am so glad Grandma's neighbor had this fun truck.

McKenzie's Broken Arm

This is her sporting her new look for the next 4 weeks. She was climbing into the back of grandpa's truck when the tailgate gave way, and smashed her arm in between the tailgate and the trailer hitch. The truck was hooked up to the trailer. She broke both the Radius and the Ulna.

Hannah turns 12

Oh my goodness.... I have a pre-teen in the house. Let the fun begin. Since her dad had to be to work on her birthday and the day after, we let her open her gifts from us the night before and celebrated with family and friends on Sunday when her dad would be home.

She is a typical pre-teen she wanted earings, shoes, clothes, and a wii game. Here she is sporting some of those things.

First Day of School

This was the first day of school for the kids. They were excited and scared. Hannah and Kenzie both were starting a new school this year. Hannah will be at the the 6th grade, Cade and Kenzie both will be at the elementary school. Cade 5th and Kenzie 1st.
