Blazer Game

I traveled with Josh and the boys up to Portland for their annual Cub Scout Blazer Game. I wasn't going to go to the game but Leslie and Lyle surprised me with two tickets (for me and Leslie) practically front row. We were sitting with the players wives, that's how close we were. I was as getty as a little kid on Christmas. I love going to games so to be able to go and have the best seats in the world was (well, I could I have cried from happiness). We felt a little bad that the boys (Lyle, Nick, Josh, Tyler, Brandon, Lance, Ethan and Colin) were sitting up in the nose bleed section but it didn't seem fair to leave some up there so we kept the seats. :-)

Christmas Tree Hunt 2009

Josh found our tree within minutes of being there. It was great. He always does such a good job at picking the tree out. George took us far into the mountains to find the right tree. We went with Nick and Connie's family and made a day of it. It was great with one exception: the food. We stopped at a little family restaurant on the way home. It would have tasted better coming back up then going down. It was a sad little restaurant that will never feed us again! Dallin and Jaxon were very cute together as they played with Grandpa in the back of the truck.

Fun Family Fun

Looking for ideas on great family Christmas Activites. I would like them to be more on the cheap side but any ideas would be great. Thanks!

Christmas Spirit

I love this time of year! I love listening to the music. I love the way it makes me feel. I love how it brings families together. I don't understand exactly why it can bring such joy except for the reason for the season...Christ. I wish I could have this feeling all year long. Stay tuned for pictures from our tree hunt. Josh has such a good eye for trees that we found it within 10 minutes of being there.
