Captain's House

 Went to Captain Asbell's house for a little mini Christmas dinner and celebration. Jensen ate any treats should could get her hands on. ( Yes, that is a dog behind her not a horse.)

 Which, is probably why we later found her on the floor throwing tantrums when she didn't get exactly what she wanted.

The boys played a little pool...the girls too.

Captain teaching Jensen how to take on her brother...like she needed any help!

What a STUD!!!!!

I came by to see Randy at the station when he showed me this. He was awarded fire fighter of the year out of his whole department! He wasn't able to go to the award ceremony because he was on a call up the canyon, so they ended up just kinda handing it to him. I would have loved to have been there, but I had no idea he was getting it. It really means a lot to Randy because it is something that is nominated by his peers. I know he respects the guys he works with so much, it was such an honor. ( I joked with him that he got it for the most hours worked in one year...In which case I should receive an award too :))They also gave him a $100 gift card. We are SO proud of him!

Boston's B-Day

 Boston turned 4 this year. We went to Chuckie Cheese. It was Jay's first time ever there. He was beyond excited. He didn't quite know the way it worked and was asking everyone he knew and didn't know for tokens...yeah we nipped that in the bud fast.

Greg was a hit with the ladies, especially Jensen

 Ally

 Boston and Aunt Dana who made some killer cupcakes.

Orem Party

Last Monday was Orem's Christmas Party. They rented out the bowling ally and it was catered by Zoupas. We had such a good time. Randy was on shift, but they made sure he got to stay long enough. I bowled a 108 which I think is probably my best score ever. Nichole took this picture of us. I was having too much fun to take any of my own. Kelly watched the kids and I am so grateful I got a night on the town. Merry Christmas to us!

Lack of Posting = Lack of Motivation

This is a hard time of year to be steady with posting. So much to do, so little time. I still haven't done Christmas cards. Normally I have them in their envelope and stamped before Thanksgiving. I am am giving myself a break because I have had many unexpected things happen. But, I am SO looking forward to Christmas. Lacey and Seth and the kids are driving out and My Mom is flying out too. I can't wait to see the kids open their presents...it will be too fun.

So, for now I wrap presents, attend Christmas party's and wish for peace on earth. The snow has yet to come and I am feeling good about that. :)

Dancing Jents

Although hard to see cuz she was sitting on my lap and I was trying to video...I thought it was hilarious. She LOVES to dance to this song.
