Christmas with the Family in Oregon 2009

I called my aunt mary to come and take pictures of us as a family, easier to do that than take a lot of pictures and not have any turn out, now I just need to install the photoshop and cut peoples head and change the background.

Sledding 2009

The boys enjoy sledding. A. has gotten to where he enjoys it alot. We build a course outside that starts up the hill then turns to head to the yard over the bridge and to the bottom of the yard, it is fun unless you hit sagebrush. I was at class and E. took the boys and they crashed into sagebrush.

Putting together a Puzzle

For a family activity one night we put together this puzzle. C. had more fun throwing the pieces but A. enjoyed it for a while. Mainly it was us that put it together good thing it was big pieces. A. laid on it to stop C. from destroying it --so C. thought he would lay on brother that is what he does and then kisses or smashes his head in your face. Got to love kids.

C. got into my clothing and tried it on, it is an ongoing ritual. However, this was a few weeks before Christmas, he looks like a miniature Mary or Middle Eastern miniature person.

Temple Square Lights with Cousins

So we invited some of my cousins that live in Slc, UT to go see the christmas lights at temple square. We got on the freeway to go to slc, and the pickup died in the canyon so we called for a ride, and a tow and started off again. We meet the cousins and saw the lights, looked at the view, and heard a concert. I love to see the lights and feel of the peace that temple square has. Then we went back to my cousins pad and E. left his moms keys in their van and we noticed we were booted. So I tried to buzz their apt. but it did not have their name. So I thought I would call well I thought I lost my phone Since I could not find it, well it was in my sweatshirt I found out later with a dead battery. SO luckily someone was going in so I caught the door and went to the elevator. And their was the cousins. So I helped them with their stuff and we went and got the keys and then out to talk to the booters. Well we only had $100 and it was $80 and he would not take check or credit card or give change. SO E. talked to a random runner who had $96 and we traded money and paid the booter. Then my cousin talked to the office and got the money back because we did not know or see the sign that said do not park here it was on the end of the parking. So that is our adventure.
