Weekend Getaway!!

For the first time since our Honeymoon, we had a weekend getaway with no kids! We went with our good friends Angela and Kevin to Santa Barbara California. It was beautiful there, and nice to be out of the cold and in the sunshine. We had a blast (but missed the kids), and got a chance to go wine tasting, ate too much, and definately drank some!! The kids did really good for Grandma, although Dylan clung to his mom when we got back and won't let her out of his sight! We definately enjoyed the together time, with our attention only on one another. Love you babe, and want you all to myself! :)

Ringing in the New Year..Wii Style!

We had a great New Year's eve with great friends and fun. We were all playing Wii and having a blast. Dylan and Lucas were even awake at midnight, but sleepy. 3 cheers for 2009, may it be the best ever!!!!!!!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS-2008

We had a wonderful Christmas, and were very blessed with family and love. Thanks to everyone who makes our lives special each and every day. We love you!! XOXO

All Aboard....

We took a ride on the 'Polar Express' a few weeks before Christmas. It was a bad day for weather, and cold up there in Heber (and the North Pole :) We had hot chocolate and cookies, sang carols, and got to talk to Santa and Mrs. Clause. We each got a special silver bell that we could hear because we truly 'Believe'. Dylan loved riding the train, and although he is growing up fast, there is still that love of trains. Deana had fun helping the elves and story teller, and mom and dad were happy for the safe trip up and back with all the snow. I enjoyed just being together.

Music Time!!!!

I have been very spoiled this year, and have to tell everyone about my beautiful new piano. No, not the Grand you see me sitting on, that was supposed to be my Christmas recital (which I went to late and missed!). Although one day I will have a Grand :) I got a brand new upright Boston, which is shiny black and has AMAZING sound. I am still not very good, but plan on taking lessons until I am so good, I can't stand it! :) I love to play what a beatiful insturment to listen to.

HAPPY TURKEY DAY

Sorry it's been awhile since I posted! I'm going to try and play catch-up. This Thanksgiving we went to Washington to visit my side of the family. We had a lot of fun with Pa and Dylan cried when he had to leave. We had dinner at my older sister Dawn's house, and had fun playing Wii and eating good food. We spent Thanksgiving day at Pa's and ate more food! We went to see the movie Bolt, Dylan's first movie theater experience. It was a cute show and Dylan loved it. We visited my mom and sisters and enjoyed the flight home. We are very thankful for everything in our lives, especially family and friends.

Deana turned the big 11 years old in October! She had a great time with her friends and had a great birthday this year.
