December 2009

I've decided to add a collection of photos of the things we have been up to in December since I haven't been very good at posting lately.

Kirk and I went to a Toys for Tots bowling fundraiser. We enjoyed a night away and won a couple prizes too. This roll got Kirk a signed hockey puck...

And this one is just plain funny :) Those lanes are slick!

I decided to get the kids and I a flu shot and we also ended up getting the H1N1 flu shot. This is what happened to Dylan's arm with his, I'm not sure which shot it was that did this cause they got one in each arm.
This is my Rylee looking like a little Elfin :)
Some fun in the snow!

Snow Angel

Putting the boys to work!
Our Christmas Tree


And again in the dark....The kids had to sleep by it the first night we had it up. And Dylan does what I remember doing when I was little, squinting at the lights to make them bigger!


This WAS the Christmas card that I was going to send out. I made it myself with my limited resources and money but it was going to have to do. I waited and waited for them to come in the mail so I could send them out and when they finally came they looked BAD :( The printer had cut off picture on one side and words on the other. So I didn't mail any. Looks like we will be sending Email christmas wishes this year.

Mini Vacation

We needed a vacation!  We were only able to do a long weekend so we had to stick close by.  We decided on a trip to the Denver Zoo and The Downtown Aquarium.  It was a good choice!  We all enjoyed our time away.  

Monster Trucks and Family 2/2013

We went to Monster Jam on a recent trip to see Jordan and our family.  The kids loved it!  It was so so loud but fun to see! Everyone had their own favorite. Everyone went in already wanting to see grave digger, who is very popular but he broke down very early in the show.  Rylee liked the Mohawk truck and I think Kirk and Dylan both liked the dog one the best.  Best of all it was nice to spend family time together! While we were in Salt Lake we spent some time with family!  My aunts and girl cousins all get together for an aunts birthday.  This happened to be one of those gathering times.  so even though it was for a very short time it was good to see them all! Of course no one was looking at me for this photo!!  We also enjoyed time with my brother and his family and Jordan.

Sledding and Snow Play

Since we live in the middle of snow central we have to find ways to make it fun.  But there are dangers as well.  This was Christmas Vacation, it was so cold the whole time and the kids couldn't go outside.  It was usually around 10- during the daytime.  One day it was 20 degrees so I had the kids bundle up and go outside for a bit to play in the snow.   I went outside to give the boys hot chocolate while they were playing and to take their picture when I noticed that Rylee had white circles on his cheeks.  I panicked a little brought them all in, put warm washcloths on his face, and called the nurse line to ask what to do.  They said he had frostbite, stick him in the tub to warm his body and get his circulation flowing, and keep using the warm rags. If his skin turned red he was good, if it stayed white or blistered bring him in!  Thank goodness after awhile his cheeks turned red again!  I have no picture of the white patches on Rylee's che...
