New Years!!!

For New Years my family side of the family gets together down in St George. This year we did all kinds of fun stuff. From swimming, 4 wheeling, jumping jacks, watching movies, and celebrating the new year.

The cousins, Justin, Adrienne, and Grandpa Dean.





Derek and I

We were celebrating the new year although it was at 7:00 pm before the kids needed to be in bed. We never stay up late and ring in the new year at 12:00pm. So this is our version of a party.

Adrienne and I took the kids to a place in St George called Jumping Jacks. It has all of these big blown up slides that the kids and adults get to climb up and slide down. It is really fun and is becoming a place we go to every time we are in St George.

This is my brother and his two kids.

Ellie and Macie

Some of the group. St George has a rec-center just like here in Lehi. It is so much fun and the kids love it too.

The guys going 4 wheeling.

Ellie coming out of one of the slides they have for the kids. We always have so much fun going to St George. Thanks Mom and Dad for a great New Years weekend.

Christmas!!!

Ellie and Hailee recieved a big stuffed horse for there big Christmas present and they loved it especially Ellie.

Ellie could not wait to get on the horse.

Ellie recieved the hopper ball and Hailee wanted on it so bad but it was to big. So she found her own ball to sit on.

I don't know why this one is flipped. But here is Hailee on her ball. It is a basketball.



This Christmas was really fun with both girls to enjoy it. My parents came up from St George and it was nice to have them here. I love it when they come up to visit. I love this time of year. But this year it went by so fast. It seemed that we put up the tree and then it was time to take it down. But is it nice to be reminded of what this time of year really means.

Christmas Eve and Misc

My family always gets together and we have a party and exchange gifts. This year we all got together on Christmas Eve at my brothers house and had lunch and then exchanged our gifts to each other.
My brother wanted a snuggie and so that is what he got. He was pretty surprised.

My Family. We always take pictures of our families too.

Justin's Family

Ryan and Hailee

The girls in there Christmas dresses on the Sunday before Christmas. I think they look so cute.

The girls on Santa's lap at Costco. The last two years we have just happened to be a Costco when Santa is there and they take free pictures with the kids. This was one nice looking Santa too. He had the real beard and hair too and I was surprised that Hailee just sat there and looked to him. She wasn't sacred. So that was good.

I just had to add these two pictures of Ellie. They were on my phone and I just unloaded the pictures on there. This at her dance recital. So is the one below.

Family Pictures

We had Emmie take our Family Pictures a week ago and it was so cold that we were not able to get very many. So here are the few I like. I am still trying to pick one to develop and put in our house of us. If it wasn't so cold then I we would have tried to get individuals and some of the girls but we were wrapped up in blankets until it was time to take the picture. Thanks Emmie!!!

Ellie's Dance Recital

Ellie wearing my boots. She likes to wear them around the house. She thinks she is hot stuff in them and I have to hide them so she won't find them and wear them more than me.
This is Ellie's dance recital night and they were dressed up as snowmen.

This is what Hailee was doing during Ellie's dance rectial. Preforming her own dance on the floor.

Sorry they are a little blurry. Ellie preforming to Frosty the Snowman. It was really cute and she did a really good job remembering the dance.

St George Fun

Ellie and Evie

While we were in St George a few weeks ago. My sister and her kids were there too. So we went to a place called Jumping Jacks. They Ellie and Evie had so much fun climbing up the slides and going down them too. It was wearing out me and my sister to follow them.

Hew Haw Farms!! ( I forgot to post)

Hailee

Ellie went down this huge slide all by herself. She had to ride down it on a potato sack. She had so much fun she had to do it twice.

Hailee wanted to stick her head through too.
