Triplets Birthday with the Anderson's

We headed to Salt Lake for the weekend of the triplet's birthday. We stayed at Trevor's parent's house. Friday we got up and started celebrating we headed off to training table for lunch and then to Hatch Family Chocolates where we were able to meet Katie and Steve from the TLC show Little Chocolatiers. The chocolates and ice cream were delicious. Then we headed back to the house to prepare for the family birthday dinner along with the family water fight. I think the triplets and Taylor had a blast. Happy Birthday Jarrod, Jayden, and MacKayla. You are now 2!!!!!

The kids playing dogie. They will bark like dogs and go fetch like dogs. We have a reward chart for Taylor, I asked him what his reward should be when he gets to the top he said " a dog". absolutely not in my house. Then he went on to say "a cat then" again not in my house.

Hope you enjoyed the recent pictures.

I will work for food

With cost of everything rising I feel I need to sit on the corner with this sign. I don't want to go to work but sometimes I think I should so we can have healthy food on our table. How did the pioneers do it all. I have planted a garden this year. We have tomatoes, green peppers, carrots, green onions, onions, and peas growing. I replanted cucumbers, carrots, broccoli, more peas, lettuce, and spinach. I hope we have a plentiful garden.

Trevor's wall mural

Trevor had the opportunity to paint a wall mural for a friend of ours. She teaches piano and this room in her house is dedicated as her "music" room. She wanted a keyboard painted and this is what she got. Thanks Rhanda for letting Trevor use his talents to bless others.

Quick Trip to California

We headed out Thursday morning for a 6 hour drive to San Marcos to visit my mom and dad and most of the cousins. While we were in sunny San Diego we visited the San Diego Zoo, played at the park, had a blast at Josh's new house where the kids LOVED showering outside, went to church, had family dinner, visited with Trevor's niece, visited Jackie, and of course went to Disneyland where we celebrated Taylor's Birthday. We had a fun time but we were also glad to home and to catch up on sleep. Enjoy the pictures!!!

Back Together

Now that our computer is fixed thanks to our friend KC I can blog again and share pictures.

Enjoy!!!!!!

Christmas Season

Well this month has been a crazy one although life is calming down. I finished school with straight A's in which I am very grateful to be finished. We went to see Santa a week ago where he read the kids a story and held the boys on his lap. MacKayla would have nothing to do with Santa and screamed.

We also received a nice surprise this morning. The doorbell rang and there was about 20 people standing on the doorstep to say Merry Christmas we are here to deliver a Playhouse for your kids. This playhouse weighs 4,000 pounds and has electricity going to it. The playhouse giveaway was done by Salisbury homes were they are giving 4 playhouses to St George residents and 4 to Utah County residents.

We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
