i love the stage when my kids learn to write on their own and they are just so excited to write: little signs and notes pop up everywhere...

december in review
calendar quotes:
"if we are on the Lord's errand...we are entitled to the Lord's help"
-President Monson
"do you want a spirit of love to grow in the world? then begin within the walls of your own home. behold your little ones, and see within them the wonders on God, from whose presence they have recently come."
-President Gordon B. Hinckley
-------------------------------
i started the month out with a fun birthday party for my friend, kris-she turned 40 and seriously looks fabulous...we had such a fun time and i am so thankful that i have such good friends:
a friend is a person willing to take me the way i am but who is willing and able to leave me better than she found me!
then diane got together a gingerbread house decorating day, it was alot of fun...my kids just did them all by themselves-look at koys concentration;
this is all the silly kids and their beautiful houses, i love how they are all so different and they were all pleased with them!
we also of course got to see santa-this was the first year brooke has ever asked for anything-she wanted some make-up.
kaden asked for the fossil fighters game for his DS and some ranger's apprentice books. before he sat on santa's lap he said to me "don't you think i'm a little too old for this mom?" =( never!
koy asked for mario and sonic at the winter games for his DS.
the kids were super excited to get some snow, no they are not worshipping it...they are white washing themselves-so silly!
kelsi had a birthday party with 6 of her school friends- they went to "new moon" and ate at craigo's and squealed all night long...she is now a teenager (13) i hope she stays as sweet as she is now-kelsi really is fantastic, i couldn't ask for a better girl! i love you kelsi cute!
i just loved this picture that kent took of brooke and koy-both in their christmas spirit!
kent was scheduled to work christmas in pinedale, so we decided to go there with him for a little bit. my kids were super excited-it still took way to long to get there for them (3 hours) but they had a blast. we were able to stay with Aunt Christy over night, my kids love their Aunt Christy so that is party enough for them but pinedale also has an amazing aquatic center that we were able to go to for 2 days. these pictures make me so happy-every community should have such a fun (affordable $17 a day for our family) place to go!
they had a big water slide and lazy river and fun toys to play on and then they had a completely separate lap pool which they had a big blow up water toy on, my kids thought it was very fun-you had to swim 25 yards to be able to go in the diving end and brooke, kelsi and kaden of course past but koy touched the side 2 times so they wouldn't let him the first day. then the next day he went to do his swim test and that little stinker-jumped right in the middle and he made it-all the life guards were way impressed but no one was as happy as koy...he still talks about passing the swim test.
they had all kinds of other activities you could do there too-they let the kids go on all the equipment which my kids love running on the treadmills and olipticals, a running lap track inside, playing raquetball, ping-pong, a whole game room and gym but there second favorite thing to do besides swim was the rock wall and it was a serious rock wall...we definetly kept the belayers busy. i even climbed-alot harder than it looks as i tell my kids which grips to grab-and i was totally sweating by the top. brooke climbed the most which is so surprising to me because she is my most cautious child-but they all were great climbers!
then kent was able to come home for christmas eve so we came back to rexburg and had christmas-it was nice to be at home! everyone must have been good because they got what they wanted =) kent opened this gift and brooke asked "what is it?" and i said "wingers sauce" and koy said "weiner sauce?" we all got a good laugh!
here's the end product-everyone happy and a house full of joy!
so Merry Christmas to all and to all a GOOD NIGHT!
