The BEST days ever!!!

I wish time would STOP right now. I love this time of year because it means Christmas Break. I love Christmas, but even more than that I LOVE being able to spend all of my time at home with my family. It seems crazy that Jaxon will turn 8 on January 17th and that he will be baptized in February. Holy cow I am getting old. EWWWWWWWWWW!!! We have been having lots of fun the past few weeks.
Our good friend Joyce Sant had us over for Christmas dinner and the kids had fun letting her draw on their tummies.
Jaxon is on the left, then Tyler (Joyce's grandson) then Parker

I could buy Parker a pack of balloons and he would be the happiest kid alive.
This is a picture of the boys on Christmas morning before opening presents. The anticipation was killing them. Christmas was fun as a kid, but I swear it is more fun to be the parent watching your own kids.

We finally gave in and bought a wii, which I have to say has been more fun then I thought it would have been.

She is going to kill me for putting this picture on here because, well just look at her all in her layers of chore clothes, but this is Grandma Lori taking her turn at Guitar Hero and I have to say she is way better then I am.

And there he is, the man of my life bowling, on the wii. He thinks that if he holds that pose every time he will surely get a strike. It worked most of the time, but it was fun watching him think he was all good. Notice the Christmas present he bought himself. The other day out of the blue he went to Logan and came back with this TV. I have to add that we did get at TV stand, so I didn't have to look at the ugly cords and that ugly blanket for too long.

Here is a picture of my oldest child, and my only daughter (with a boy name). Spike is getting old. We have had her for 9 years and she is the BEST dog ever! She loves four-wheeler rides. The other day I was pulling the kids on their sleds behing the four-wheeler and she rode on the back the entire time. I'm gonna miss her when she dies. How long do dogs live anyways???

You guys are too funny. T decided to get the Wii this year too so we play it nonstop. Every time I turn around he's buying another game. I love seeing pics of your family they are such little handsome devils. I know what you mean about the girl thing. I wanted a boy so bad, Chris has 3 boys and I die over them so of course I get 3 girls and luckily we live by each other and can pretend they are ours. heheheh

Totally cute picture of Jaxon and Parker on Christmas morning. The excitement in their eyes is great! So did you get Wii fit with your wii? I almost bought it the other day, but the guy at the store talked me out of it. He said it was really really hard. Of course, maybe that's exactly what I need.
