HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELLY!!! I really need to start taking pictures of my kids without the grandkids. I couldn't find a picture of Kelly without kids. Kelly has brought so much excitement into her dad and my life there is too much to mention. There was never a dull moment with Kelly around. She especially always had her favorite spots to eat and I must say she was probably one of my most picky eaters in High School. Those days went by so fast it is hard for me to believe she is a mom and has two kids of her own. Dad and I love you soooo much Kelly and are glad you are our daughter, especially now the teenage years are over and you turned out to be the GREATEST!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN WE LOVE YOU!!! I won't tell everyone you are now the big 27, three years to 30!!

CHRISTMAS 2008

I have been so lazy at getting this post done. This Christmas was our off year with the kids but we ended up going and visiting John and Zan just before Christmas and then went to Utah to spend Christmas there as Chris and Becky wanted to spend Christmas at home this year. They invited us to come spend Christmas with them. With Kelly's in-laws living there we got to spend some time with Kelly and Shane and their family also. It was a great Christmas!!! I must admit I love the low stress remember the meaning of Christmas kind of Christmas. I will have to make myself remember that for next year. We all enjoyed each others company and tried to make Christmas simple. Thanks to all the kids for a great Christmas!!! Here are some Pics of the great holiday!!

I didn't get a whole lot of pictures at John and Zan's but we went bowling at a new bowling Alley near Johnny's. John and Zan make us Nicholls Trucking Shirts for Chirstmas which we all wore bowling. J.T. didn't quite know what to think about the bowling, but we all had a fun time!! Thanks John and Zan.

Christmas with Becky and Chris was so much fun and the kids enjoyed Christmas so much. Jaxson and Carter loved the elf that visited their house before Christmas. Chris's mom came for Christmas also. It was good seeing her and the kids enjoyed her visit also.

There was soooo much snow this year in Utah we had a white Christmas. I must say though that I really don't care for the snow. Becky was shoveling her driveway when we drove up and even Jaxson got in on the shoveling!! Chris took the kids to the hill by their house and went sledding!! They had a lot of fun, but I stayed in the house where it was warm! I deceided I will not live in the snow. Here are a few pic. of the kids in front of the tree and with their favorite Christmas toys!

Chirstmas morning Shane and Kelly called us when their kids got up and we got to go over and watch Kaylee and Aubrey Christmas morning. They are sooo cute to and we enjoyed spending time with them too!!!

A Big THANKS to all the kids and grandkids for making our Christmas a great one for 2008!!!!
