Cousin pictures (you notice that I had to paste Kason in. He was not wanting to be apart of any of it.)

We had a great Christmas. We had my parents, my grandma Foutz, my brother Marcus, James, and Kyle, Tiffany, Trinity, and Kason were all here. My whole family was here for Christmas. It was so nice to be able to visit with them all. Thursday night we celebrated my bro. Kyle's birthday. Don't have any pictures because I accidentally deleted them off my camera. Sorry Kyle. Friday we went swimming with the kids and Kennedie at Grammy and Papa's hotel. Lost those pictures also. Not very happy with myself. Anyway, Friday night we had our program after our delicious dinner. We talked about the nativity and then watched the Nativity and then we recited "The Living Christ". Our Young Women leaders memorized this for our Y/W. It was awesome! Then kids went to bed. The kids were pretty excited when they woke up. We did make them wait until everyone was awake to open presents. Marcus and James also opened presents with us. It was fun to have them. Russ and Marcus went to McDonald for breakfast. Later, Grammy, Papa, Grandma Foutz, Kyle, Tiff and the kids came over to open presents. Christmas was very relaxing. Kyle, Tiff and the kids stayed for another couple of weeks. I took some of the kids swimming at the Rec Center, we went to the Kangaroo Zoo another day. On New Year's Eve we had Marcus,Megan, Chad and the girls over. We ate and played games. At midnight we lit a huge (Illegal) firework that Megan and Chad brought over. It was a whopping 6 degrees outside. So we made it fast.The next day Kyle brought over the house warming gift that we bought for Marcus' new place. Then Russ and Kyle moved his furniture into his apartment. Later that night we went out to Georgia and Louis' house. We celebrated the New Year and Lindsay's birthday. Sunday I taught the value lesson on Faith for Y/W's. Glad that is over with. The kids currently have and had Pink Eye and a little cold. Russ is also sick. Luckily, Brynn, Jaxon and I have not had it. Russ and I are continuing to work out at the Rec Center. My goal this year is to run a 1/2 marathon. Looks like St. George may be the next one. Can't wait. Jaxon's Science project is done. His pinewood derby is done. Joy School almost over for me. Comp. Basketball is starting up for Jaxon. Just went you think you are done, you realize you are just beginning. I love keeping busy though! Wouldn't have it any other way! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Because I have taken the time to post I will now pay for it. My children are notorious at making a mess when they know I am not paying attention to them. Avery has put hand soap in her hair, and spilled water all over my nice pillows. Brynn has taken out all of my scrapbooking supplies to make cards, rings, and necklaces. I did finally get Wyatt to sleep, so that is one less mess to clean up.
It was funny this morning the girls picked out there clothes to wear for the day. If we are not going anywhere I let them wear what they want. Luckily they picked out something that matched Avery gets her outfit on and then I look atBrynn and she has picked out the same exact outfit, but Avery had stolen the shirt she was planning on wearing. And so it begins!!!
