New Years Eve

I know this is a little late, but better late than never, right?! On New Year's Eve we had Alesha, Dan and Ethan come over for dinner and a night of Guitar Hero. For dinner I made ham, funeral potatoes, and rolls. I thought it was really yummy. The kids love playing together. Ethan just follows Julia around everywhere and wants to play with her. When she is doing something he doesn't want to do then Ethan will start following Jack around. It was so funny to watch all three dancing when we were playing Guitar Hero. Jack and Ethan eventually started wrestling. Jack thought this was great. When Julia wrestles with him, she usually starts crying. With Ethan he could really show what he is made of. It was a fun night and a great way to bring in the new year, with friends and food.

December 2008

December was a very busy month. Moby and I both finished this last semester of school with all A's. We are trying to remodel our kitchen a little bit. Ashley and Ken came home for Christmas. Laurel and Don came for a weekend. We shopped and shopped. We did so many things with our families. Finally, it was Christmas. I didn't take any photos of Christmas, only video. So you are spared the photos of that. However, we did take pictures of us sledding as Grandpa pulled us around with his fourwheeler. The kids loved that. They thought that was the best thing ever. They keep asking when it is going to snow again so they can go and sled again. Now that December is over, we get to look forward to a new year. School starts again soon for all of us. Have a Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!!

Welcome 2009!

Sugar Cookies and a birthday!

The kids and I made sugar cookies a couple of days ago. It was fun and messy. The kids had a great time cutting out the shapes. I think Julia liked the candy cane cutter the most. Any time my back was to the kids, I would hear them giggle. When I would turn back around they would be stuffing their mouth with cookie dough. Must have learned from their Mom. If anyone has a great recipe for soft sugar cookies, I would love to have it. This is the first time I made them and they weren't that soft.







Moby's birthday was last Thursday. The kids and I made breakfast for him before he went to work. Then later that night we had dinner at his parents house. It was yummy! I think he had a great day.
The kids went and helped Grandma and Papa Price pick out a Christmas tree. They looked so cute bundled up I just had to take pictures. Jack reminds of Randy, the little brother from the movie "The Christmas Story."

Holiday Open House

Primary Program

This last Sunday was our ward's primary program. Julia was so excited for it. She knew her part by heart and she would always sing the songs. However,as the kids were getting ready to go up on the stage she decided that she didn't want to do it anymore. Her teacher talked her into going up but she cried for a few minutes. I felt so bad for her. I know what is like to hate to be up on the stand in front of people. When it came time for her to say her part she did it really well. But she just wouldn't sing any of the songs. By the end we were able to get some smiles out of her. When it was over, she came up to me and said, "Mom, there are a lot of people here."

Field Trip #2

Julia had her second field trip this year. We went to the Discovery Gateway Childrens Museum. Jackson and I were able to meet her there, she got to ride in a school bus. This is a really fun place to go. The kids love it. We were on a limited schedule so they had to leave before they were finished playing. But they did have a fun time.
