We had a Great Christmas! My family had Christmas together up at a Lodge at Snydermill near Park City. It was so fun to be all together. 
We had fun going to see the lights at Temple Square!
Last Saturday we had a fun family Christmas party with Matt's family. His parents are going to be visiting Merry and Maria and their families for Christmas and so we had an early Christmas with them. The boys could not wait to open presents. We had a great time! Grandma and Grandpa, you were too good to us!
The boys have really enjoyed having our pirate ship/castle room done. Matt has made it so that they can go all around the room whether it's on the monkey bars, zip line, rock wall, and ledges. It's definitely a room for boys.
Jackson and the treasure map. The platform that he is on could be made into a bed too (and there's another right above it.)
Seth is ready to go on the zip line which goes over to the love sack.
The boys had a lot of fun four wheeling up in the hills behind Grandma and Grandpa's house!
Jackson placed in his age group for 3-D arts! He built a school out of scraps of wood that we had from the basement and he painted it. He has his Dad's talent of putting things together! It's moving on to the next level or we would have a picture of it. Great job Jackson!
Spencer also placed in his age group for visual arts. He painted a picture of the sun and planets and it's moving on as well. Spencer has always loved art and he is talented. We are so proud of you Spence!
Jackson won 3rd place for the fastest car in the pinewood derby! He also got an award for the college educated car because it was a University of Louisville car. Great job Jackson....and Dad too for helping:) He also received his bobcat!
Jackson was baptized today! It was such a great day and we are so proud of him. We had a lot of family come and we missed those that couldn't be there, but you were there in spirit!
We had a great Halloween! Thanks to Matt's work he and I had costumes. They always dress up for Halloween and visit dentists. The kids were Woody, Prince Caspian, a Commando guy, and a dragon. The weather was so nice. I think it was the warmest Halloween I ever remember.
Today we saw Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Heidi's new baby, Wyatt. He's SO cute!
Jeremy took us ice blocking after and the kids loved it! Seth was determined to get good at it.
Here is Spencer trying it out. It was such a warm, beautiful day for the end of October.
Jackson loved it too! They had so much fun. Thanks for taking them Jeremy!
We had so much fun at the Scarecrow Festival with Uncle Josh and Aunt Mari!
We had fun going up Millcreek Canyon with our cousins. Even though it was really cold, it was fun to see the pretty leaves. Here are Kylie, Karen, Kenna, and Taylor having some donuts.
We are finishing one room in our basement and it's going to be a pirate ship/toy room/bedroom. Matt and his brother Jake framed it and it's really coming along now. Here's a "before" picture and hopefully we'll have an "after" picture very soon. There will be a slide coming out of the middle of the ship. The boys can't wait until it's finished.
We had a mobile home we could use this weekend and so we went on vacation in our driveway. The boys slept in it and we watched movies and played a lot of games. They are playing Disney's scene it in this picture. They had fun playing in the first snow storm of the year too.
Jackson and Spencer ran in their school's fun run. They both ran for the full 30 minutes and did a great job. Taylor and Seth had fun watching and eating popcorn.
