Grandpa Bill 1915-2007

Our life has been really crazy lately because of the holidays then my dad's dad passed away on the 27th of December. Kim's blog pretty much said everything there is to say. Just a few of my memories. My favorite times with my Grandpa was him taking us down to O.C. Tanners on the three wheel bike to play in the fountain. He always played with his grandchildren. I love that my Dad is exactly the same way. He loved all of us very much and worked hard all of his life. What a great example he is to us. I feel very lucky to have been able to see him and say goodbye. I'm so happy he is now with my Grandma Zella.

A funny thing....

So a funny thing happened to me last night. My good friend Holly would be jealous of this one. I was at the Olympic Oval for a indoor soccer game for Spencer. I was by myself with the kids and they were running down the stairs, so of course I was chasing after them. As I got close to the bottom BAM! I ran into someone. I explain "oh, i'm so sorry I didn't mean to.... and looked up then said "Oh!" There was the man I ran into Apollo Ono. He said "no problem, sorry." Then ran up stairs while I was there speechless. I thought do I have a pen, no, shall I pull out my phone for a picture, to late. I kind of stood there for a moment speechless. Then hurry and text Hayley. My run in with an Celebrity, and I was dumb founded. What would happen if I ran into Brad Pitt?

Merry Christmas to me!

Thanks Sandra for the great idea! Leave a gift for me and put this on your site and I'll gift you back. Merry Christmas.

Lots of updates

So there are a ton of new updates on our blog. So sit back, relax and scroll down. Enjoy!

Ward Christmas Party

This is Breeze as we are getting ready to go to the ward christmas party up at Camp Tracy. If she could she would run naked all the time.



Me with the boys up on the 'Death' tube hill. It was fun but alot of drama. The kids had a blast.

Snow and friends

We went with some of our friends from the ward up to the Joseph Smith memorial building to have dinner at the Garden and see the Joseph Smith movie. We had a blast. Thanks everyone for the fun Christmas spirit night.

They didn't have a big enough table to fit all of us so they split us up. We decided girls sit together and guys. We would be trying to talk over the boys anyway. It was way fun for us girls.



Regan Fackrell and Reggie



After the movie we walked outside and it was snowing big fluffy snowflakes. It had covered everything. It was so beautiful. My favorite kind of snow. I love winter.





Colby and Amanda Wells





Camille and Jared Chapman

Christmas Tree

So I promised my sister Kim I'd post a picture of my new tree. I love it. My mother-in-law gave us her 10 foot tree because she got a new one this year. She is so sweet. We needed a new tree. It's kind of retro with many girly colors. It even has a hot pink tree skirt. So here you go Kim. Wish you could be here to see it in person. We miss you so much! Love ya.

Las Vegas

So the last night of Las Vegas our kids begged us to take them to the strip and to the M&M store. We were off the strip in west Las Vegas the whole time watching Taylor's games. So we decided to go and see for ourselves the M&M factory and Coke factory. FYI not that great. Not worth the time.

Our kids and my niece and nephew Sarah and Hayden at the M&M store.



At the Coke store having Coke floats.



We went to some Mega gamer place and let the kids play video games for awhile. Like father like son.



Dinner at Rain Forest Cafe

Thanksgiving

So finally I'm getting a belated posting up. It's Thanksgiving. We spent the holiday at my sister-in-laws Tammy's. Then in Las Vegas for my nephew Taylor's soccer tournament. We had a wonderful day. There is so much to be thankful for in our home. Our health, our loved ones, a roof over our head, and the gospel in our lives.



Breeze and Anna watching Mommy make Granny Bell's rolls. They worked and were perfect. Yeah!



Brent and Debbie and me after stuffing ourselves.



Tanner, Taylor and some of Taylor's soccer team mates.



The kids table



Breeze was the last to leave the table. She enjoyed everyminute of our Thanksgiving dinner and even all the kids left overs.
