We Love Cars!!

Cameron and Duncan are almost the same age...Since we've been here they've had their moments of cousin rivalry, but luckily we had some quiet time watching the movie Cars. Both of them loved it, and I loved seeing them together. Cameron's dad is my cousing and I have many fond memories of spending time with him.

Merry Christmas!!

Here we are on Christmas Eve in our Christmas jammies... Getting a good pic is obviously a nightmare for us.

Here are all the Great Grandkids together. Megan, Malachi, Eve, Analia, Cameron, and Duncan. They have been having a blast playing together. It brings back so many fun memories of playing with my cousins as a kid.

We made it to Utah and we're having a blast!!

The kids have never seen real snow before, so the next morning after we got there we were out playing in it and having a blast...

Evie stayed inside after the initial "winter" picture of the family, but she was happier there than in the cold.
Analia was so anxious to make a snow angel.

Duncan wouldn't stop eating the snow and still is eating the snow and then decided aunty needed some too...



Malachi had a great time falling into the snow.

Our first family outing in the snow required a picture...everyone just wanted to get to playin!

I hate packing

It seems that the more I try to pack the more mess I'm making...This is insane!

I'm so embarrased

I've always thought of myself as lets say...good at staring without making it obvious. It's human nature to be curious of things that are different. Well the people who live next to us have a garage sale every single weekend. So this morning I went to take the laundry to the laundry room and I saw a guy that had that disease where he has hair covering his face. Well, I tried not to be obvious and I went to get a second look to be sure of what I saw, not to stare. Anyway...I thought "well I'll just go look at our car out front that we're selling and take a glance as I walk past." Well he just happened to be getting into his car which was by ours and I froze. I ended up looking at him, turning around, and walking back to the house. Poor guy, he knew I was looking at him. I'm such a jerk!

Disaster of a dream

So last night I awaken in a panic from a horrible dream. I dreampt that California was being sucked into the ocean. Slowly enough that we could get away, but still, it was being eaten!! Needless to say that I was in a panic to get everyone and everything ready to leave. Because people were fleeing we weren't able to drive which was a problem. We would have to walk, I didn't have a bag packed for the babies and I felt like I was going to drop dead trying to make sure we had everything to survive. I finally got it all together and then realized that we had to get our 72hr kits (which thanks to my parents, we have.) So we were pretty much in a bad situation and on top of it trying to figure out how we were going to carry everything and everyone. Needless to say I woke up very worried and concerned that I needed to get things in order...NOW! I would encourage everyone to do the same. I thought I was ready, but as I went through the motions in my dream I realized I wasn't. The time will come and we need to be ready.

Remember our Soldiers

This year the world seems just a little different to me. Times are changing and the ever present thought of war is in my head. This Christmas we wanted to say THANKS to our soldier "Uncle Whitney". He is in Afghanastan and we hope he is safe and happy this Christmas. May we always remember the sacrifices of our soldiers as we enjoy peace and saftey this year. God bless them and their families.

WE LOVE YOU WHITNEY!
