Rebecca's 2 year old Birthday

Rebecca is two! How time flies. Rebecca is such a sweet girl. She loves to cuddle. She is a daddy's girl. She loves to tease. We wouldn't be a complete family without her.

Rebecca loved rolling the ball back and forth with Grandpa Freking

We got her an alphabet puzzle

The moment she opened it she started putting it together by herself

Madison's 9th Birthday Party

Madison wanted to go sledding for her birthday party so we loaded the kids up with the help of a friend and my sisters Julee and Theressa. Earlier Julee and I staked out some hills where we could go and found a nice hill by her house out in West Jordan. I didn't think we would have such a problem with no snow in West Valley the end of January. The kids had a blast and would have stayed there all day if we let them. So we loaded up the kids again and went home and had donuts and hot cocoa. We opened presents and then Madison played sing it with her friends.
It was a great day!

New Year New Hair

I have had long hair for about 5 years now and so I was needing a change. It was sad cutting off my ten inches of hair but I donated it to Locks of Love so that made me feel better. Hollie Ellis cut and styled my hair really cute. I wish I could have her do my hair everyday. I swear you come home after getting your hair done and it's perfect and then the next day you have to do it and you can never do it the same as they did. I try! Well everyone was in shock when they saw me but most seemed to like my hair. Even Jeff did that loves my hair long. It was an adjustment not using as much shampoo and conditioner and actually doing my hair every morning instead of pulling it back in a pony tail. All in all it was a good change.

Family Christmas Parties!

We had my family Christmas party before Christmas. The grandkids put on a nativity scene. Clayten was one of the three wise men, Madison was a shepard and Rebecca was a spectator. It was cute to watch all the kids! We ate dinner and opened presents. A week later we had Jeff's side of the families Christmas party in Kaysville at Marshall and Jill's house. We ate soup and rolls. Later the cousins opened presents. It was a good night to just sit around and chat with the adults while the kids played downstairs.

Christmas Day

We were really blessed this year with help from family and friends. With Jeff's doctor taking him off work the end of November and waiting for his surgery on his neck. Those that helped gave our kids a wonderful Christmas. Someone also did the 12days of Christmas for our family and it was fun to see the kids rush to the door when they knocked and tried to see who it was.
Maddy really wanted a Barbie Doll'd up nail printer
