Merry Christmas

We wish you a very Merry Christmas. It was a special day to be able to come home and spend Christmas with my family. I couldn't have had a better day. I am very thankful for Ben and the girls, they are my life.

Friday

The boy got married!

Chris and Natalie Owen!

I can not believe that the boy got married last weekend. Chris married Natalie a really sweet girl. Their wedding was decorated beautifully in red, black and gray.


I am in shock (he's too young) and also very proud of him. Chris is the lone grandson in my family, it was a once in a lifetime event. We wish Chris and Natalie a lifetime of happiness.



Chris and Kimbo who is looking mighty hot for being a cripple!

Kira is an awesome NERD!

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!

A year ago, Ben and I along with my dad and Carla went to San Diego to see the BEARS vs. Chargers. Ben and my dad love the Bears hence the Bears game. It was a blast. I love football and every aspect of the game.


My favorite team is Indianapolis Colts. When I was a kid I loved the BEARS with my dad's influence of course. I have tried to teach the girls to love football. Maci cheers with all her heart when there is a Touchdown it doesn't matter which team get the Touchdown just as long as someone does.

Here are some pictures from our trip last year. One year we will go see the Colts in Indie. I'm sure we will make it to a Bears game again. No matter its a great sport and its fun to watch.

Sunday's are meant to spend time with your family watching football. I wish Utah had a professional football team. I would definitely buy season tickets.

Wednesday

First Day of School

Monday was the first day of school for Kira. She has been really excited about school. I have been very impressed with Kira so far. She is really dedicated to do her homework and reading everyday. She does have a little extra incentive (a new shirt), I'll do whatever works to inspire her to read.

Maci starts school next Tuesday. Ben, Leigh and I took her to visit her new preschool. She was hesitant at first but warmed up after 10 minutes. By the time we were ready to leave she didn't want to leave. That's a first. I'm hoping for that much enthusiasm when I drop her off next week.

Monday

Mexican Cruise

We went to the Mexican Riviera with Ben's entire family excluding 3 family members. Thanks to Ben's parents for the trip. Here are some pictures from our adventure.
