HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE

Happy New Years Eve to everyone.

My sister Pauline had surgery earlier this week and so I took mom down to the hospital to see her today. Mackenzie had taken Rylee and Blakeley up to Snow Basin to go snowboarding and skiing. We were just going to visit Pauline for a little bit and then head up to the mountain to pick up the kids so that Mackenzie could go skiing a little on her own. By the time we got there Rylee had been up and down a couple of times and Blakeley was doing quite well and Mackenzie decided not to go on her own.

The kids really had a good time and Mom and I enjoyed the day also. She was glad to be able to get out of the house today. It was 16 years ago today that my father passed away. It was nice to be able to spend the day with mom and my sister, even tho she was in the hospital.

FAMILY HOME EVENING

Tonight we made Christmas cookies for family home evening.
I found the good old recipie on the blog of Pioneer Woman.
They are the exact cookies that we used to have when I was young.
They were so good that we did not even have to frost them.



Blakeley, Rylee, Jim and I were all available to help with them.


Stacy please come and help me with blogging. Have pity for me
and help me place my pics with the words. This is awful......

Moving Day and Stringing Cranberries.....

We decided to do the old fasioned christmas garland by stringing popcorn and cranberries. Well I did not feel like hanging "BUTTER LOVERS" popcorn on the tree so I tried using "Corn Pops" they actually worked out better and looked really cute. Grandpa helped and Rylee took pictures. It was a good Family Home Evening.

I tended the boys while Jim went and helped with the moving. First they moved Lee and Veloy out of the house and into their new home and then they had to bring all of Zac and CJ's things from the shop back to Lee and Veloys. It was a pretty long day but the boys and I got along pretty good. Treyson had a good time trying to build a train while Tagg kept trying to tear it down. I can see why we are to raise our children while we are young. I was pretty worn out and really had not done anything....

Grandpa did stop in to help out a little by feeding Tagg.
