Golfing, what a swing!

You know it's been a while when....

You know it's been a while when you can't remember your password, how to post a comment, and how to add photos. My alzheimers is definetly kicking in so I better get back on the blog bandwagon so I don't forget how to blog entirely.
Here's a little recap of what's been going on since my last blog (yep...way back in December).
McKayla celebrated her 14th birthday with a few of her best girlfriends.
We had a wonderful quiet Christmas at home with the kids. This was the first time in years it has just been our little family for the whole day. It was so much fun, very relaxing, but also a little lonely (we missed seeing our families so much.)
2 days after Christmas the kids headed to Lander to stay with grandma and grandpa J. while Nick and I headed to beautiful Hawaii for some much needed R&R with my family. It was so great to spend time with my parents, and all my brothers and their wives. the only disappointment was the weather, not as sunny as a sun worshipper would like, but it was better than 30 degrees and snow...so no complaints.
After our vacation we returned home to a very busy 2009, and we havn't slowed down a moment since we got home.
Here are a few pictures to recap the last 2 months. Aghh...it feels good to be back. I can't wait to read all of your blogs and catch up on all our crazy lives.

McKayla's 14th Birthday!

McKayla and Cambria preformed a duet at the Christmas recital. It was so beautiful to watch them together. Good Job ...I'm so proud.

Christmas Morning...and lots of happy sweet faces!

A Must See

Australia is a MUST see! I loved everything about it. The filming was beautiful, the story was so tender. It had all the elements that make a great movie. There was romance, suspense, humor, action,...everything. I even learned about a part of history that I really didn't know much about. Seriously, this may even be my favorite movie of the year, yes even more than twilight, gasp! Nicole Kidman was fabulous and well Hugh Jackman "2008 sexiest man of the year" with good reason. Wow!! (all I can say is watering hole scene...drool...see it and you'll know what I mean!) The little boy, Nala, was amazing and so darling! Seriously go see this movie - I hope you like it as much as I did.

Good day' Mates!

Annual Christmas Picture

We took our annual Christmas card picture today - way too many cheesy smiles, funny head slants and angles, and at least an hour of pure drama....but whew...we finally made it!

Let the holidays begin!

Aghh...A tribute to Edward

...a few of my favorites!

Seriously!!!!

I love Fall!

The past 2 weeks of fall have been fabulous. The weathers has been the perfect temperature, we are surrounded by beautiful fall foliage, and of course long lists of all the fun things to do this time of year.
Here are a few of the things we've done.
CORNBELLY'S - If you get a chance to go it's so much fun!





Yesterday, I took the kids to see HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 - it was pretty good. Definetly over the top, but so entertaining(oh, and if I were a teenage girl, Whoo Hoo that Zac Efron is cute!)


And of course, Halloween Parties. Thanks to the Christensen's and the Ence's for throwing such fun parties! I was Hermione from Harry Potter! Thanks Char for being my date...a.k.a."life partner" at the Christensen's Party.


Fall Weddings - I've had two weddings this month and they both wanted fall colors -which are my favorite. Fall weddings are so rich and vibrant. Yesterday I delivered a wedding to Log Haven - the colors were amazing in the canyon. This is a picture of one of the centerpieces.
