LOVE THE HOLIDAYS

Well last night for family home evening we decided to make gingerbread houses. The kids were way excited to make them and eat the candy. Brant and I decided to make the houses for the kids and then let them decorate them how they wanted too. Brant let the boys just share one so Isaac had the marshmellow side of the house and Hunter chose the chocolate chip side for his. I helped Laney get started and then let her do whatever she wanted. To say the least there was frosting everywhere but we had a great time. My mom and sisters April and Katelyn came along with my niece Lily, Grandpa had to study for a final so he couldn't make it. Brant and I made ours later and Brant stayed up until 11:00 making his and he said he still isn't done with it. That makes me laugh. Anyway we are having fun enjoying the holidays. We also decided this year to get a present for someone in need. Our ward has an angel tree so we decided to take an ornament and get a gift for a teenage girl. That has made this Christmas season much more enjoyable and really feel the true meaning of Christmas. I read the book "The Message", and I just feel like that had made me really be grateful for all that we have and instead of feeling sorry for myself I am trying to do better at serving and thinking of others this season.

Well we all had a great Thanksgiving and we are super excited for Christmas to come. Today we took our family Christmas picture today and they turned out pretty good for having four kids and a dog in one picture. Anyway we hope that you like the picture and hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

BYU Game weekend

Well we had a great weekend with Brants family. All the adults went to the BYU vs. Airforce game on saturday. It was little cold but I think we all survived. On the way there the three biggest guys had to sit in the back seat of Aaron and Candace's van, lets just say they were all very close and personal with each other which was hillarious to listen to them saying they were hot or they were right next to each other. We had a great time driving down in the same car and laughing and some pretty interesting stories. Then after the game we celebrated Hillary's birthday and ate at the olive garden. The game was really good and they WON!!!! We got home pretty late but it was worth being able to go and enjoy are time together as adults.

WOW!!!!

WOW!!! That is all I have to say about last night. Not really girls night out was a blast. My sisters, mom and I decided to go to the theatre at 5:30. When we got there the line was almost around the corner. We found out that the theatre was showing Twilight at 9:15 and we could stay in that seat for new moon for 5 dollars more. So we decided to do it and was able to go in at 7:15. We only had to stay out in the cold for a couple hours.


I LOVED JACOB he was amazing and I was so into his character. When I read the book I didn't like him at all, lets just say I loved him. I still am team Edward all the way but I still really liked this movie. I still can't believe the way it ended. I am so ready for June to be here so I can see Eclipes. Its funny we know how it ends in the books but the way the movie ended just made me want more. I LOVED IT. I have to go see it again. Totally worth standing out in the cold and getting home at 3:30.
