Goalllllllllll

For Deskin's birthday, a bunch of us went up to Salt Lake to a RSL soccer game. That Rio Tinto stadium is so beautiful and the enthusiasm of the crowd is quite exillerating. The game was really exciting, Real won 4-1, which is a lot of goals in a soccer game. It was fun to be with the family and we missed those of you that couldn't come.

Transforming a lamp

I've had this lamp that belonged to my mom, nobody really wanted it so I brought it home and kept it for awhile to figure out what to do with it. It was a pretty blue, but did not go with anything in my house. So today I spray painted it black, topped it with a new beautiful shade purchased at Hobby Lobby, and wow, I love it!

Temple Square Lights

As always we so enjoyed our visit to Temple Square to see the lights and loved the spirit there.

I need to catch up

We love to get together and we love to eat, but even more we love to play games. Well no maybe we love to eat more. I guess it is a toss up.

I love Christmas time but it seems to come and go so quickly. Especially this year we packed so many fun family times in. In looking back at my pictures however, I didn't do a very good job of taking pictures so that I can have a permanent reminder of each event. I'm usually better at that. I must be slipping!

I so enjoyed all of the family dinners, the company that came into town to visit, the birthday parties, the spirit of Christmas and all. Thank-you to everyone who made the season so special.

Thanksgiving at Brian Head

Tim made this fun video of our fun in the snow at Brian Head. Thanks Jerry and Kris for lending us your amazing cabin. It was such a fun relaxing way to spend Thanksgiving. It was a little bit of heaven being there with all of the kids and grandkids.

Halloween

I almost let Halloween sneak past without posting some pics of my little kidlets. They do love Halloween. I do love to watch them have fun!

Fun Trip to San Antonio

The house that Marlo built

Most people know that I love San Antonio and try to get there often. This trip was very fun since Tim, Brandi, Elsie and Jessica decided to come with me. It is always fun to visit Marlo and we have our favorite places that we always like to go and things to do. We love going to Gruene, a very quaint little Texas town and we love to eat at the Gristmill.
Marlo has lots of toys at his house to play with.

This trip we went to Sea World San Antonio. We had one heck of a fun day there.

Another favorite place to eat is the Texas Pride. Ribs, brisquet, chicken, and all the fix'ns. The band starts up and the dance floor fills up and it is a blast. We were with a bunch of cousins that night and it was a blast.

The Alamo is always a favorite.

This is pure entertainment!


More entertainment.

The Atlantis ride at Sea World.

These are pictures of the petting zoo at the wild animal park.

We went to the 6 missions on the river that were built by the Monks in the 1700's. Very interesting.

Thanks again to Marlo for putting up with all the company that he does. He just loves it when we all come to his house! Don't you Marlo? Don't you? The whole week was so fun.
