Christmas Eve 2010

Its a good thing the Kids are Cute!!! I loved having My Family here. It has been a long time since we have been all together for Christmas. It is a time to be around family and to think about how blessed we are, and most of all its a time to remember Jesus and the Love he has for us. His Life and his Death and his Resurrection. If there is one thing I know is he lives and that I love him..

then last but not least.. we cut up an Apple and throw them on the roof for the reindeer.

Ashley got a little side tracked but that was fine by me she is fun to take pictures of..

My Mom and Dad were there to enjoy all the fun too. .

Darren read the Kids The Night Before Christmas.. The Kids Loved it.. Darren is a great story teller.. He can really get into it.

Christmas Eve 2010

David showed up for the fun too. Too bad we didn't get him some Pj's!!

We were glad to have him come. First Christmas with him in 8 years.

The Kids opened there new Pj's... they thought they were the coolest. Then Shaylee danced around and sang about how much she loved hers.

They are so Cute.... What a fun year with Ashley she really got into it.

We were so blessed to have my Grandma and Grandpa Hall at my house.. Everyone knows that I grow up with them and I think of them as my Mom and Dad.. They brought with them my Great Grandma Ryan (94). She can't see much anymore but she is still a lot of fun.. We loved having her there.

This year was special. We had Everyone come to my House in Manti. I wanted a white Christmas and that's just what I got. We did a lot of Fun activities. We decorated a Ginger bread house.. My mom and I put the house together the night before, and we all decorated it the next night which was Christmas Eve.

With all the gifts and snow outside it was a wonderful night. My niece Lily came along with my mom and dad so she could spend Christmas Eve with us. Her mom came up later that night. I loved all the snow.. Its a great way to start Christmas..

Hiking Goblin Valley

This place was the coolest. The kids thought that they were frozen Goblins and I told them that they came to life at night. We hiked for a long time. I was so proud of the kids.

Look at those rocks thy go on forever.. its quite the sight.

Even Ashley had a blast. I would take the kids here again because they liked it that much.

May camping trip!

It was to get away From Manti and fill the sun on us. All we saw was snow for so long that camping somewhere warm was just what we needed..

Grandma and Grandpa Hall are so much fun to camp with. they picked the place and we came along... Lots of places to hike and Ride.. thanks for bringing the 4 wheelers Mom and Dad!

Goblin Valley was such a cool place to see that camping there was way cool:)

My girls faces got so chapped but Ashley finally got walking down at on this camping trip..

Shay's 3rd Birthday!!

What a FUN day this was. My big Girl. It feels like I haven't been able to give her a fun birthday. So it was so much fun to give her a birthday party.. She felt like a special girl all day long.. We are so lucky to have her.. She makes Life so Fun!!

I keep thinking that I am going to get on here and get everything up dated and not be such a slacker, but I don't... and I am sorry about that. The truth is I am way busy, There's is so much to do in a day I cant fit it all in.. so I will do better. There's so much to Sherie with everyone.. so I hope to get on top of it..
