New Years Eve

We had so much fun on New Years Eve! Randy's family came over add we made a family favorite Runza's. It is so much faster and easier when every one helps. They are easy to make, but very time consuming too. Some of use played games and others did a puzzle and some watch a movie. Than at Midnight we toasted in the new year and let off fireworks. I'm sure our neighbors loved us for that. Here are a few pictures from our night of fun.

Sleepover and Sledding

The last couple of years Randy's Aunt and Uncle have had everyone over for dinner and games and a sleepover. Usually it is durning Thanksgiving. This year it was the day after Christmas. So we went over and had Roast beef and salads and pie. After we were done most of the ladies went and watched a movie while Randy and I and his cousin Laine took Clay and Tyler and cousin Caleb sledding. But before we went sledding we needed to buy sleds. Randy went to a couple of stores and they were all out, so instead of him going around to all the stores he called and asked if I would call around I called a few stores and every single store was sold out. Luckily for us Laine had three sleds that we could use and Caleb had brought his own.

When we came back we watch another movie and then a few went home and the rest of us stayed up until 2:00.

The next morning we had Blueberry pancakes and eggs. After breakfast we went and bought tubes for the tire store and the hit the hill again. This time Kevin and Carie came along. There were a lot of people there, but I thought there would be more. Most of the kids sledding need to learn the safety rules to sledding. Like not walking up the middle where others are sledding, Not walk across the middle of where others are sledding. Several people got hurt and I felt bad for them but they were not being safe. I'm glad nobody got hurt to bad. We had so much fun. It has been about 9 years since the last time Randy and I had gone. The Boys loved it so much we will diffidently will need to go more often.

Later that night we had our good friends Jim and Leah and there kids over for games and dinner. Later Randy's Brother-in-law came and played games and then stayed the night. Randy's sister had to work all weekend and was bored and so we took him in like a lost puppy. It was fun to get to know him a little better. Then Sunday my Dad and I sung a duet in my ward and next Sunday we will sing it in his ward. We have had a great Christmas Holiday spend a lot time with family and friends. We love you all.

New Years Eve

I can't believe that we are still up at 2:00 in the morning. We have had so much fun tonight and all of our guest have just left. When I have more time over the next couple of days I will blog about it. Hope you all had a safe and Happy New Year.

Christams Day

We Told the boys that they were not allowed to wake us up until 8:00 am, and boy am I glad. Clay woke up at 4:45 and Tyler at 5. They open there stocking and then the came in at exactly at 8. Boy do I wish that we would have said later since we didn't get to bed until 2. They were so excited to get started. I hurry and but breakfast in the oven so it would be done when we were done opening gifts. They had them all opened in less than 20 min. We bought a PlayStation 3 (60g) because we bought it used and they were with us when we bought it. We would have liked to have surprised them but we had to drive to Layton Saturday before Christmas at 10:00 at night. So we had to all pile in the car to get it. We got home at 2 in the morning the night. So we told them we were not going to open it until Christmas. Tyler got a new bike. Clay Some games for the PlayStation and they both got football helmets and shirts and pants. I got a I-pod and so Circut cartridges and Randy want the Final Fantasy game he had found on-line. When the guy called me back Christmas Eve I told Randy I was sold and meet him at the store and bought it for him. He was really disappointed that he had sold it. But when he opened it up Christmas morning he was really excited. He is so hard to buy for and I was really fun to surprise him.When we were done with opening the gifts we ate breakfast and then Randy set up the PlayStation and I displayed all the loot to take a picture. We didn't get as much this year as we have in the past but we did spend more. I wish the things the boys wanted were cheaper. I know that next year they will want things that will probably be more expansive. My mom and dad came over and dropped there gifts off and they gave the boys an outfit and binoculars and we got and emergency kit for the car.

Later that day we went to Randy's Mom and Dad's. His sister had to work until 3, they waited until she got home before they had opened any of there gifts. Randy's parents gave a wheat grinder and wheat for are food storage. One thing we didn't have yet. It is always nice to add the the food storage. We had Turkey for dinner and the sat a round doing a puzzle. When we left to come home it was a blizzard out I'm glad we drove our truck which has 4-wheel drive. I left my camera at home so I will have to get the pictures from my sister-in-law and post them later. It is always nice to spend so much time with family around the Holiday's.

Christmas Eve

I can't believe it has been a week since Christmas Eve. I have been so busy this week this is the first time I have had time to sit and write about Christmas.

So Christmas Eve we meet my family at Fat Cats and went bowling. Grandpa and Grandma Nash came and Amanda and Steve and there kids and Mom and Dad. We missed Mark and Elain's Family and Malinda and Brain and there family but we still had tons of fun. Grandma Nash kicked our butt's. She said she had be bowling in over 20 years, but she bowled like an old pro. her score was 120. Randy, Tyler and I came with in one point of each other the first game. I hope we make this a new tradition it was much more fun than sitting around the house all night.

After bowling we went back to my Mom and Dad's house and had Ham and potatoes. I was really good. Then we let the little kids open there gifts so they would be occupied while the adults could play there game. After games we had dessert. I brought the dessert. I had heard some telling that there family has a Birthday cake to celebrate Christ Birthday. I thought the the little kids would understand it better if we had a cake. I had the bakery right Happy Birthday Jesus on it. Then I add 1 candle per person that was there and we all blew them out together.

When we got home the boys opened there Christmas pj's. They love their robes. We put the kids to bed at 11:00 and Then we were up finishing what we needed done for Christmas Day. I still haven't been able to turn the pictures sorry.

Allergies

We took Clay to the allergist today to find out what may be causing his asthma. We found out that he is very allergic to everything that grows and most animals. As you can see from the pictures. So we will have to try and keep him away from all of it, and hope his asthma doesn't flare up.
