Well Christmas is over and Santa was very good to us this year. The weekend before Christmas we spent it celebrating with my husbands brothers and sisters in Logan along with his parents and his Aunt. Then on Monday the 22 my daughter had a dance recital. She loved it and loves dance. Yesterday my in-laws came over at night we had dinner and opened more presents. I hope everyone reading this had a very merry Christmas and will have a Happy New Year, may god keep you and yours safe in the year to come!

I didn't realize how much sacrifice and running around it took to have older kids. With sports and school activities plus church stuff. I guess you really can tell if you love your kids or anyone for that matter, if you are willing to sacrifice things for them. When we were down in California for Thanksgiving my sister and her family, my mom and dad, plus our family went to Disneyland. When my husband took the boys on some rides. The rest of us took the girls to see tinkerbell and her friends. For how long the line was I was expecting something spectacular. But there wasn't so after that my sister and I took our oldest girls on Space Mountain. Which was a treat for the moms. That is my absolute favorite roller coaster at Disneyland. At the end of the ride they take our picture and if it didn't cost an arm and a leg that would of been a picture worth keeping. My sisters daughter looked like she was scared to death my daughter had her head down my sister was smiling and it looked as if the speed was pulling the skin on my face back. Oh the memories we will have. I love spending time with all of my family. I am hoping they all can come to Utah next November for Thanksgiving and for when my son gets the priesthood. Well I need to go fix dinner for my family.

I'm back it has been so crazy in my life. Let me fill you in. I will start off with some good news I got a new car sold our van to our neighbors. It is so nice driving a car again, it has been at least 6 or 7 years. We had family pictures taken by my sister in law. We went to California to visit my family for Thanksgiving. It was so nice seeing my brother and sister and their families. I was so surprised how well all the kids got along. It just goes to show that my babies are growing up. We got home on Tuesday my neighbor pick us up and dropped us off at the airport. I can not thank them enough. Early Thursday morning I woke up and decided to go look for something of Robert's couldn't find it so went to ask him if he had it. When I turned on the light I saw two piles of throw up on his floor. I have to admit something throw up and I don't go together so I woke up Rob and asked him to help. He did, and while we were cleaning it up my other son woke up  to go the bathroom. He came into my oldest son's room to ask what we were doing we told him what happened and he went back to bed. We cleaned it up and we all went back to bed. Not more than 2 minutes later someone threw up again. Thought it was the same son but when I woke up I found out it was the other one. So we cleaned that one up and went to bed. It must of been a 24 hour thing because they didn't throw up again and they were both tired but went to school. The next morning I took my youngest son to an orthodontist consultation. The good news is that he probably will not need braces for a year or two and his x-rays doesn't show him having any wisdom teeth. The bad news is that he has an extra front tooth which will need to be pulled. Yesterday the kids had a movie night at church so I was already in my p.j.'s. I had to go inside and get them and then found out my boys couldn't leave until they picked up all the popcorn from their popcorn fight. Next time I write I'll tell you about our trip to Disneyland. The good news is that I didn't lose my family with my niece like I did at Lego Land in California.
