Sledding at Duck Creek

Christmas summary

We had a very Merry Christmas! I hope you all did as well! We went to see our families in Sandy the weekend before, we had a ton of fun with them. We had a party every night we were there. It was busy, but it was great to see everyone! Our parents spoiled us and our kids, we are so grateful for all they do for us! Thanks guys...
We came home a few days before Christmas eve. We joined the Gilchrist and their family up to Duck Creek for some fun in the snow on Christmas eve. It was a blast! The snow fell hard and we enjoyed every second of it. We went sledding and snowmobiling and I even tried out my snowboard for a minute. (kind of hard to board with whiplash...Lol!) It was fun up there, we are so lucky to have such great friends which include us in their holiday festivities. Gilchrist....We love you guys so much!!
We came home so we wouldn't miss Santa. Our kids slept in Christmas morning until about 8:00, which was kind of nice for a change. They had so much fun opening their presents. Zach's favorite was his big Lego set, Bryton loved her Hannah Montana Wig, and Macy loved the wrapping paper. We spent the day just playing with our toys and we saw a movie. It was a relaxing day, couldn't ask for anything else. Hope you all have a Happy New Year!!! We love you all very much!!!

Who says it never snows in St. George.....It has been snowing all day. We were so excited to see the snow yesterday and it is still coming down. The kids were able to build a few snowmen in the backyard. It really feels like christmas here for the first time. I love it!!!

A shot of ambition goes along way!

So, I am blogging a lot more than usual lately. I guess that is due to the fact that I have no vehicle and I am too sore to go exercise or play outside. It really does suck having to stay home and be hurt but, good thing for pain meds.......LOL!

Anyway, I had to write this down because I got a good laugh the other night from Zach. He cracks me up!

We were getting ready to go to the ward party, which I was not looking forward to (this was the night after my accident.) Zach was being very persistent that we go, he was begging us. So, I finally gave in and was slowly getting ready. I was kind of complaining that I didn't feel very good and I really didn't want to go. Zach looked at me and with no hesitation said, "mom, you just need a little shot of ambition!!" I couldn't help but laugh. Brennon agreed that is definitely what I needed. Needless to say we ended up at the party........

Goodbye Exie.....

My poor car is totalled! It actually looks a lot better than I thought it would considering we were hit so hard and it rolled on it's side. The window broke out and the windshield shattered but we weren't cut luckily. The back is pretty bent up. I don't have a picture of that on here but it is probably the worst part.

Car Accident

It has been a crazy past few days. On Thursday Dec. 4 my best friend, Jen and I were driving on I-15 heading southbound into Green Valley. We were hit from behind by a drunk driver who was speeding (going about 85 or 90). We were going along when she clipped the back drivers side of my car and sent us into a tail spin across the freeway. Before we knew what had happened the car flipped on it's side. We were in shock, frantically trying to get out of the car. All I could think of was getting out of the car "before it blew up." (I think I have seen too many movies.) Many people stopped to help, which I was very grateful for. We walked away with only a few bruises and "cervical strains", better known as whiplash. After I cussed out the drunk drivers, we went to the hospital to get checked out. It was a long night but, I am so grateful that we were okay, this could of ended much worse. I know there were Angels there watching over us! I am so blessed that I didn't lose my best friend Jen and that we both came home to our beautiful children and our wonderful husbands. Life is so Fragile. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for protecting us, keeping us safe through this very scary incident. You just never know when life can change, it can be in a blink of an eye. I hope that you all know how much I love you and how blessed I am to have a great family and many great friends.
*I want Jen to know how much I love her. I don't know what I would do without her in my life, and I am so glad she is okay!

Macy is crawling

Macy just started to crawl today. She is going to be everywhere and into everything! This is when the fun begans.

Thanksgiving Day, great day for a race....

Good thing I was there to catch Josh at the end.......

I had to carry Tyler and Josh over the finish line, they just couldn't go any farther....just kidding..they beat me in! But, I can pretend.......



Who's the hottie in the middle?


Thanksgiving Morning we got up bright and early and did a 5k. Josh, Tyler, Nancy, Brennon, and I all ran. We ran the human race in Draper, It was a blast! Next year we need the rest of the family. Thanks to Mark for cheering us in! We had fun running in the rain and burning off a few calories to get ready for our yummy feast!
