Brooklyn's Dance Recital

Saturday Dec.13th Brooklyn had her Dance Recital. She was so beautiful in her outfit and did a great job. From dancing to soccer she is a talented little girl. Her dance was to the song "One step at a time" by Jordan Sparks. She had a lot of fun and wants to do it again.

You sick Twisted Freak! (as per Glenn Beck)

Last Night we went to see Glenn Beck, on his tour for "the Christmas Sweater"
(For those who don't know) Brandon and I enjoy and are faithful listeners of Glenn Beck on his radio show and his TV Show. At any rate, Brandon got us free tickets and it was a great evening. I highly recommend anyone, (if they have a chance) to go see it or read the book. It is about his personal story from his life.
Here's a fuzzy picture (what can you expect from a security guard taking a picture) but Brandon did get to shake his hand and autograph.

Santa's Lap (Craft Fair)

Brooklyn played hookie from school and went with me and the boys (along with Grandma and Aunt Becky) to the Christmas craft fair. It's always fun to see the things people make and do for the holidays.
The kids got to visit Santa and Mrs. Clause. Keaton and Bridger were so excited they couldn't stop saying hi and bye to him when we walked by him.

Lighting of the State Christmas Tree

The Christmas Season has begun. The lights are up and music is ringing around town. Last night we went downtown and saw the State lighting of the State Christmas Tree.
The kids each had cookies and hot cocoa, the choir sang christmas carols, and the governer's wife read "twas the night before christmas in Idaho" a children's book. It was a great evening.

Happy Thanksgiving! Turkey Bowl!

Thanksgiving Day was a beautiful thing.
Nice crisp day with beautiful sunshine.
We had a turkey bowl football game with Chris and Shauna's family around noon which was great fun. Keaton played with Grace while Mason, Brooklyn, and even Dad scored touchdowns, it was fun.

We then went to Terin and Becky's house for Dinner. Everything tasted great.

Wonderful food, wonderful family.... there is a lot to be thankful for.

Christmas is here!

The kids have been bugging us to put up the Christmas lights and Tree. We usually wait until after Thanksgiving but this year we were a couple days before. We Decorated the tree and put up the lights on the house.
Christmas time is a wonderful season I can see why the kids can't wait. Here is a picture of the kids with their festive hats... we are so lucky! Bridger is so cute, he keeps showing us which stocking is his.

Birthday Dinner

Monday the 17th we went out to PF Chang's for my Mom's Birthday. The dinner was great and everyone had a good night out without the kids. Best of all, it was a surprise, my mom didn't know it was happening until she got to the restaurant.
Happy Brithday Mom! Love you, Jill
Check out the fun pictures (Brandon's not in the picture because he's taking it)

McCall... Happy Birthday Chris!

This past weekend we went to McCall to surprise my Brother-in-law Chris for his birthday. His wife Shauna planned everything and I wish I had a shot of his face when he opened the door and saw us. The cabin was right on the lake and had a wonderful view right out the back door.
The dinner was awesome, and the kids favorite part they said was when they went ice skating with their cousins.
Overall it was a great weekend, Thanks Chris and Shauna for the great weekend. (and a Happy Birthday Chris or should I say... Ska-doosh!)

Bridger is a big boy!

Believe it or not, Bridger has lost his binki! It is 3 weeks today that he has gone with out his precious binki, so far so good, we've only had some late night episodes of binki withdrawal, but we think he is over it.
Ever since the binki disappeared another important thing disappeared also, can you guess what that is? His daily nap. I was re-thinking my decision after a week but I'm sure it's for the best. Love you lots Bridger!

Happy Halloween

Here they are all dressed looking scary and cute all at the same time.
We went to some friends house for a hay ride and trick-or-treating.
We couldn't have asked for nicer weather.

While trick-or-treating we came across a haunted-house.
Mason was scared, so Keaton held his hand!
