Taylor is now 15!!! Yikes....

Well yesterday was Taylor's birthday. She is now fifteen years old. Wow. Never thought that I would have a such a beautiful and talented young daughter. She has been so much fun to watch grow up for the last fifteen years. I am excited to see what the next few years will bring. She got to celebrate her day with friends. We went down to SLC sunday and picked up her friend from Cedar City. She is staying until Saturday. Then last night they went to Deanza's house and played guitar hero and watched movies with some other friends. Sorry no pictures. I have camera problems right now. Plus I wasn't at the party....I did get to play the guitar hero game. That is actually fun to play. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SWEET GIRL. LOVE YA LOTS TAYLOR!!!

Christmas done ! Phew!!!!!

Well Christmas is done....There is such a build up to Christmas, and then it is over and done in a flash...Well my kids have the tradition of opening christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve. So they all got their pajamas. Devin didn't like his. He just ended up taking them off. My kids really look forward to opening those pj's. I used to do it as a child. That was always fun to look forward to opening that one present to start Christmas off with. Then you have the big day...My kids had fun opening presents. Devin didn't get that you opened the presents. We would get one of his opened and have to take it completely out of the package for him to play with...It is so much fun to have a young one during Christmas. To bad that they don't keep that innocense to Christmas as they get older. The biggest gift was from grandparents. All the kids got money from a couple of their grandparents. They loved that. So on New Years Day we will go out and spend their money that they got for Christmas. Gerald wants to talk them into putting their money together and buying a snowblower. I told them fat chance. I don't think that is going to happen. He can dream though. We also got tons of snow for Christmas. One of these post will have pictures of how much snow we have gotten in just a weeks time.

Williard Bay....

On Tuesday we took the kids to Williard Bay for the light show. It was alot of fun and cold. We stop of at pizza hut in Brigham City to have dinner, then we went over to the lights. It cost a seven dollars to get in, and then they were giving free wagon rides that night. So we climbed on and went thru to see the lights. The driver made us kind of nervous cause he was passing cars in this big wagon with Clydesdale pulling. They are big horses. Anyway, it was fun. We then went thru again with our car. The kids really enjoyed it. Oh, the extra child, Emily Martin, is a friend of Anna's.

Shopping!!!!!

I can't believe that there is only 9 days left to shop! And I just started. Gerald and I finally went out today and did a little bit of shopping. It took all day. We went to Brigham City and shopped, of course, at Walmart. Have to keep my husband in business. Anyway, we also had lunch at Pizza Hut. We haven't done that in years. It was nice to have a trip down memory lane...The last time I was at a Pizza Hut was probable in my twenties. Yes, I am that old....Then we went to Logan. And yes we shopped at Walmart there too, but we also went to other stores...It was nice to be able to spend the day out with my husband. We haven't done that in a long time.Unfortunetaly, we are not done yet. Who knows maybe I will be done after christmas!HAHA.

Warp Speed !!!

I can't believe that in another week in a half Christmas will be here. Time is going by so fast. I just got thru decorating my house. The only thing that I haven't done is put the light up around my window. That probably won't get don't this year. But we have are small little fake tree up this year. When I get my camera fixed, I will take a picture of it. Hopefully next year we will be back with the real trees. As far as Christmas shopping, hum, not yet. Yep you read right. I haven't started yet...This is the slowest I have been on Christmas shopping in a long time. Just haven't wanted to go. But we will get there. Other news in the family. My Dad collapsed again, a week in half ago.This time he was in Circut City. They ended up putting a pace maker in. Now he is staying with my brother in West Valley. Besides that nothing else is going on. We have been pretty busy with work, school, piano recitals, and dance performances. It is that time of year.
