A GREAT HOLIDAY BREAK!!

What a Great Thanksgiving break!! I had so much fun with my kids, family, sisters, friends, and my extended family!

On Tuesday my mom and I hung lots of outside Christmas lights and I climbed the ladder to the tipy top! lol yes I was scared, but someones got to do it.

Kayla came home on Tuesday so we got to spend some great time with her!! Her and I made a quick last min run to Logan on Wednesday night for some fun sisterly time and then stayed up late with Brook and Dad playing Yahtzee.

Thanksgiving was great of course! I love all the YUMMY FOOD!!! There was about 45 of us at Grandma Westons. :( Sad my emerald salad didn't set up! But there is always Christmas! :)

Brook played beautician and cut mine and Kayla's hair and Brook and I dyed Kaylas trying to cover the pink stripes. LOL It actually turned out way CUTE!! Redish-Brown with Blond she is a total Hottie Thanks to US! hehe

My Mom and I with the help of Kayla, Brook and Kalan:) decorated a Christmas Tree for Vista and BLGC to donate to the Festival of Trees. We did red white and blue decorations. It turned out pretty good. Transporting the tree from Laketown to Garden City was a first, LOL driving down the road 30 mph with a decorated Christmas tree in the back. It made it there safe though, Thanks to Gregs :) help and truck. That night my Dad and I took my kids to the Festival. Where they got to see Santa and we sat by the fire place and ate some yummy sugar cookies. Brook, Kayla, and I finished the night off playing the Wii and watching a movie with some friends.

Saturday we were all busy trimming the inside of the house and putting up our Christmas Tree! I must say my mom always has the most Beautiful Christmas Trees!!

On Sunday we had a family dinner with all of us the Lundgrens Smiths and Williamsons. I got some cute pics of me and my family members. And that night everyone was gone so my kids and I spent some great quality time together. Brax and I played Yahtzee Battleship and the Wii while the other two were sleeping. Then we had a picnic up stairs while we watched the forgotten carols and then Brax Brauns and I played golf and bowling on the Wii. It was really a wonderful week. Time well spent. I am truly Thankful for the time I was able to spend with such Wonderful People. I am so Blessed with Awesome Family, Friends and Kids!!!!! I know I have a lot to be Grateful for!!!! I send you all my love and hope you had a great Thanksgiving!!!

A GREAT LEAFY DAY!!!!!

Today I had the wonderful pleasure of watching two of Tara's kids. Britnee and Cody! I got all the kids bundled up for the COLD and we went out side to rake Grandpa's leaves. We invited our neighbor Dallon over to join in the fun too. After a couple minutes I realized I had over dressed us all. Our mittens and hats came off! It was a Beautiful Day!!! The kids were Great Help for a bit anyways lol! They couldn't wait to jump into the big pile we had made. I think I got some Great PICS. The rest of the time they kept themselves entertained over on Curtis's Clubhouse. Thank you Christensens!!!! So I raked up the rest of the front yard leaves!!! I don't think the kids even knew they had been working!! hehe My secret plan worked!!! LOL Anyways It was just a Great Day! The kids had lots of FUN and the Mom got lots accomplished!!!!! Oh and to finish the Great day off Tara and Jaycee brought us home YUMMY PIZZA from Sams Club and me a big fountain DR. Pepper!!!! Thank you Tara and Jaycee!!! and Thank you all my leafy helpers!!!!!

Halloween 2008

I love Halloween! It is such a fun time to get creative, eat candy, go to fun parties and Dress up. All of which I love to do! Although I wish my kids would just eat all the Candy and let Brit and I decide what they are going to dress up as. I love dressing them up in themes. A couple years ago Brit and I did Wizard of Oz! It was so cute! We had tin man, scarecrow, the lion, Dorothy, Witch, and Glinda. This year we wanted to do Peter Pan but Brax had something else in mind. He insisted on being a ninja - and what a tough one he was. Braunsn wasn't sure about being Captain Hook either but we still convinced him to be a pirate, only because the rest of the fam dressed up piratey for the murder party. He ended up being such a cute 1st mate!! How Glitterific!!! Saige and Charleigh were two of the most Beautiful Fairies! Saige was Tinkerbell and Charleigh was Silver Mist from the new Tinkerbell movie. And little Ridge was a lost Boy dressed up in a lion costume! We had lots of fun going to the school fall festival and to the KOA Halloween Trunk or Treat! The kids got lots of Candy! I hope I don't eat it all! LOL Thanks to my dear friend Ashley I was able to make it through both these nights with my sanity! Happy Halloween Everyone!!!!
