PLAY DAY!

No school! Time to use a Christmas gift for the first time! Pass of All Passes got us into the Grizzlies hockey game free yesterday! Even better-friends came along! But sadly, Jimmy had to work. No hockey for him. We left before the game was over, and walked across the street to Hollywood Connection. $2 a person (with our pass) got us 4 hours of unlimited fun. Again, FRIENDS made the difference! Some kids wanted to ride certain rides, some wanted to mini golf, some wanted to skate. We were there with a large group and we enjoyed seeing each other as we came and went from event to event. It was so much fun. Kids had a blast! My favorite thing-Rollerskating! I have more pictures I can't wait to see on my camera! Can't wait for more adventures with our Pass of All Passes this year!

Start of 2014

With the snowfall we've had this winter, after one small snowstorm, we made a snowman outside! The kids made one in the backyard and I helped with the one in the front.  Sadly, I can't remember the last time I made one....almost forgot how to make one but this was fun! Our little friends have melted, but still it was happy!

Blogging out 2013 from my phone

I always have my phone on me, so I always take pictures on it. I am getting slower at blogging, so maybe 2014 can be full of more pictures documenting the happy moments of 2014!

Merry and Bright

FAMILY Pictures~FINALLY!

We finally got together to have family pictures! Thanks to Sherri we have some good looking family pictures! Very happy with how the pictures turned out. When I look at the expressions on my kids' faces, I laugh. I wonder what they are thinking, but yet, know what they are thinking. I have seen those expressions many times! Their eyes and faces tell you so much about them! Fun colors, pretty back drop in the International Peace Gardens in Salt Lake. Just a few.....Its hard to choose, love them all!

Gonna Miss Her!

I remember holding this little girl, walking around my grandparents house getting her to sleep. I babysat her many times. She has grown up so beautifully. I ran races with her, camped with her, laughed with her, cheered her on in marching band! Sister Charlotte Gatrell is serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Riverside, California get ready! I love my little cousin Charlotte! She is a great, strong example to me, and I wish her 18 months of fun, hard work!
