CHRISTMAS!!

I can't believe that Christmas has come and gone already!! But this year was a really good year! Christmas Eve was at Becky's this year! Santa came on the Firetruck and all of the kids were so excited. Everyone sat on his lap and made a promise to their parents that they will try harder to be better next year. It was so cute. When he left it was time to sing MUST BE SANTA!! This year was fun because everyone is getting old enough to do it! After singing it FOUR times it was time to go home and get to bed! Mom and I woke up at 6:30 to open presents and then it was off to see what everyone got! Keli insisted that her kids would not wake up until eight but Mom and I thought that she was up in the night so we headed to their house early!! Good thing we did because about seven thirty came around and Keli was calling saying that her kids could not wait any longer!! We got there just in time for the fun! Morgan got everything she asked for and then some!! She was the funnest to watch open everything. She got an American Girl Doll, baby clothes, and best of all an IPOD!! Britton got GI Joes, cars, and a farm to share with Tyler. Britton was so excited about everything. His face was priceless. Tyler got cars, Horton Hears a Who, cars, a farm and did I mention CARS!! Everything he opened he would say WOW LOOK! It was so funny. He also thought that when Mommy got you this he had to give it to her! Ha ha We realized this when he would love it and then get the saddest look on his face! Then it was off to see what the other grand kids got. I think that everyone was good this year because Santa brought almost everything on their lists. My favorite part of Christmas is Breakfast with my Brothers and Sisters. I love watching to see what everyone bought for each other. This year the HOT Item was BYU and UTAH shirts. We are so divided! Its so funny. I also love to see the grand kids faces when they open what Grandma got them. The Pj's and Slippers were a big hit this year!! I think Mason was the first to put his on! Christmas is my favorite Holiday!

BRITTON IN ACTION!!!!

Today was Britton's Christmas Program at his Preschool! He had been so excited all morning because his Mom and Dad were going to see him in ACTION!! Britton practiced and practiced all month, singing Christmas songs and learning his line: "I had the Sleigh, but just one helper wouldn't do, I was looking for a team!! " We got to his school and he went right up to where he was supposed to go and sat down. Keli was so excited that he wasn't scared to do it this year because last year she had to sit on the stage with him. Britton was so excited when he saw his Dad walk in! I think from then on all he did was smile and look at Buddy!! It was so CUTE!! The program started and the funny thing is you couldn't hear any of the kids. I thought, oh great Britton isn't going to say his line loud enough, but his part came up he stood up all smiles and looked at his Dad and said his line loud so everyone can hear! He did so good!! When it was over we got to see SANTA!! Oh man, all of the kids were jumping up and down! Tyler couldn't wait to sit on Santa's lap!! Ha ha I love Christmas!! Britton is such a good boy and he did such a good job! I know that Keli and Buddy loved it and are just as proud as I am of Britton!!

Wow

Wow, It has been a while!! A lot has kept me busy the last couple of weeks! Let me tell you a little bit about it! We went to Las Vegas at the first of November! I had a BLAST!! I kinda invited myself a long with Buddy and Keli and Buddy's family, Ha Ha but they didn't seem to mind....at least I hope!! Thanks for letting me crash the party! I had a ton of fun!!

Thanksgiving was so much fun! This year was the off year with my family but because some are having babies soon, most of my family got to stay here this year! We had an amazing dinner thanks to my Mom and Sisters! Not to mention, Alison makes the best rolls ever! After dinner it was off to the bowling ally! Riley and Stephanie met us there! I think almost everyone played but it was so much fun watching the kids play! I am so glad that I have a close family! I don't know what I would do with out them! I love you guys!!

Well that is about it! Life can get kinda CRAZY but I LOVE every minute of it!!

MISS YOU!

Yesterday would have been my Dad's 61st Birthday! My Dad past away when I was eight years old! I think that I am the only one in my family that has a hard time remembering a lot about him! I have memories of him watching my soccer games chewing on a piece of grass, or walking in from work and giving me a big hug, Sunday dinners are my favorite! They are memories that I cherish! He was such an amazing person and he loved my family so much! I sometimes sit and think about how life would be if he was still here and I know one thing for sure he would have loved being a Grandpa! Happy Birthday Daddy! Love you and I miss you everyday!

JAZZ GAME!!!

Okay so this year for my Birthday I told Jillian that I really wanted to go to the Jazz season opener! Well time went by and we had no time to even look for tickets! Then I get a phone call from my cousin Marie and she had six tickets and was wondering if me and Jillian would want to go!! I didn't even have to ask Jillian but I called and she of course said YES LETS GO!! We had the best time! My cousin Brianne came with us and it was the first time that she has been to a real Jazz game!! She was so excited when we got up there and I will never forget her face when the game started! After the Jazz beat Denver we went down to watch the after show! Thurl Bailey's body guard came up to us and asked if we wanted to meet him! I don't know who was more excited Brianne or Jillian but of course we said YES! We got pictures with him and boy, is he TALL!! At that moment I didn't think that Brianne could get more excited until I told her that we could go around and watch the players leave in there cars! I have to admit I was dying to see them leave too! After a little wait we saw Kyle Korver leave! Brianne was shocked that he was actually there and I think that Jillian and I were so excited that he was actually one foot away that we couldn't work our cameras! But we did get a picture of his hand and car after we realized what was going on! lol I think I am in LOVE... ha ha just kidding!! Kyle drove up by Brianne but because the crowd was so excited to see him they were getting out of control and the security made him leave! We were sad but I have to tell you that just seeing him MADE my night!! lol We waited for a while longer and got to see a lot of them leave but then we got to meet Brewer and CJ Miles! They were really nice and stopped and gave us their autograph! They used Jillian's pen and she wouldn't let any of us touch it! Oh man that was a good night!! It was one of the BEST nights I have had! I had so much fun with my cousins! I will never forget it! Thanks Weezie for making it happen! I had a ton of fun with you girls!!
Brianne and Big T!


Brewer saying Hi to Brianne! He is so HOT!!

CJ Miles and Brianne! Sorry I cut him out Brianne!

Last night was the annual TRICK OR TREAT at the shop! The kids look forward to this more than anything on Halloween! The day started off crazy, Scott and Becky came over with their kids and got all ready for the party! Keli got Pizza for dinner then it was off to the Trick or Treat!! All of the kids looked so cute in their costumes! Lets see if I can remember what they all are going to be this year! Taylor is a Punk Rocker, Baylee is a Vampire, Kelsea and Morgan are flapper girls (20's Dancers), Payton is a TMNT, Clayton is a football player, Addi and Bryn are witches, Sydnee is a Monster Bride, Halli and Josie are BYU Cheerleaders, Kenzie, Mason, and Spencer are all Boxers, and Britton and Tyler are Firefighters! Wow I think I got them all, and that's just my family! Everyone was there and I don't think I could name all of them! They all looked so cute in their costumes! I love to see what they come up with each year! Morgan Britton and Tyler hit the jack pot with the candy and its not even Halloween yet! Looks like Keli and Buddy will have a lot of candy to eat! YUMMY!!!!

BEST PALS!!

This past weekend we went up to the cabin to help close it for the winter! It was so much fun and the kids had a lot of fun with Grandma and Grandpa Johnson! They helped clean up outside and fed the chipmunks peanuts and pancakes! We went on walks and just enjoyed it up there! Britton and Grandpa are now BEST PALS! They can't be best buddy's because Britton says that is his Dads name so BEST PALS it is! I think that Britton and Grandpa were together the whole weekend! Telling stories and laughing! Britton says his favorite part was telling Grandpa all of his troubles and Grandpa telling him what to do and to be a big boy! He loves his Grandpa! I had so much fun hanging out with everyone! The minute we got there Jillian and I headed for the beds to get in the blankets cause it was FREEZING!! We played games with Grandma and we even played 5 crowns until I won one! Grandpa was excited about that! Cleaning was fun I think that Jillian and I drove everyone CRAZY cause we had one song stuck in our heads all weekend! Keli even said if she heard us singing it one more time she was going to go nuts! Sorry Keli!! I love my Grandma and Grandpa so much and I am so happy that I got to spend the weekend with them! Thank you so much Gramps and Grams for all that you do for me! I love you!!
