Fun in Utah....

I went to Utah last weekend to visit Jessie and Jenny. It was great. Its been like 6 or so years since I've been back there.....way to long. I had fun visiting with everyone! Here are some cute pics of all of us. Now that Jenny has dark hair, we all actually look like sisters! Jessie looks great and is doing good. She's cleaning up so she can try to sell her house. I hope it all works out!! Connor was there the same weekend so that was a bonus!!! Next time I will try to take the boys with me. (They were upset that I went without them.....oh well) I also got to go to lunch with some friends from High School that I haven't seen since graduation. That was fun!! Im going to try to go out there a lot more often. I didn't get to see everyone I wanted to, so I'll be back soon for sure. I hope so anyways! It was great to see everyone.....miss you guys already.

Skateboards rule yo!

So the boys are both determined to become kick-ass skaters......here are some video clips from the skate park. This is the first time I had taken them to the skate park, they kinda go in slow motion, but they get better every time we go, and they practice alot at home. Good luck boys.....

Family time.

Here are some more pics from Christmas evening. Grandma and Grandpa Enlow came out for dinner and a movie, and we got some really cute pictures.

This is my latest big project. I finished a while ago. Thank you Grandma Enlow for teaching me how to crochet!!! Its beautiful on my bed, maybe I will make one in another color....who know's!

Christmas Morning.....It came!!!!!

I thought the boys would die with excitement!!! They could barely contain themselves. They were up at like 6:30am watching TV with Grandpa, waiting for Grandma and I to get up! They loved everything they got and thought each thing, big or small, was the greatest gift ever!! I'm so glad they appreciated everything. We had a fun morning....it goes by very fast! Vick and Bryn weren't able to come down this year, but we had them up on the web cam so they still got to watch the boys open gifts....it worked out great! Here are some more pics from this morning.....

The boys and I opening up stockings....love the x-mas morning bed hair!

I-Pod's! Awesome!!!

OMG! A Rubix Cube!!

I think she likes it!!

Isn't technology so cool! Here is Vick and Bryn watching us from Beverly Hills while we open presents!! Miss you guys! The boys are flying out there tomorrow to spend New Years with them....Rock On!! They will have a blast, like always!!!

Christmas Eve......

We had a nice dinner, watched A Christmas Story (of Course), put out snacks and a letter for Santa, cuz you're never too old for any of this!! Then the boys opened one present each, and got ready for bed. They were so excited they could barely sit still, especially Bryeson....oh my goodness Christmas is just so much fun!!! Here is some pics from x-mas eve.

This is the tree the night before, pre Santa....

This is the presents they opened on x-mas eve. One from Aunt Jenny, and one from G-ma and G-pa Enlow......

Letter to Santa, written all by themselves.......

Monterey Bay trip.....cool moon pics

Last June, mom and Jim took Brayden, Bryeson and Connor to Monterrey Bay. One of the nights they were out on the pier and the moon was full and really pretty. They took a bunch of pictures trying to get the moon to look like they were holding it. Here is one of each of the boys with their cool moon pics.

My "mini me"

So for those of you who grew up with me, or have heard the stories, you remember what a sweet, loving, gentle.......ok, I can't lie, I was horrible. I was just plain mean. I think it was just that I wanted attention, and the easiet way for me to get it was to beat up boys. It didnt matter who, I beat up anyone. Now I was only like age 2 thru 4, and then I think I realized that everyone was scared of me and nobody wanted to be my friend, so I woke up one morning and have been the sweetest thing ever since! (Don't argue, you all know it's true) Anyways, we always joke with my cousin Brooke that her dtr Haylie is my mini-me. She totally takes after me, if you take my old baby pics, we look just like eachother. Even her adorable little attitude, she is me 100% So yesterday at Charlie's, Haylie Spent most of the day with Brayden and Bryeson, she loves her boys. For a good 45 minutes, she had so much fun beating up on Brayden. (I love how she picked the biggest boy to beat up.... that makes it even funnier.) I can see why she thinks its so fun, cuz he just sat there and laughed and she was having a ball. Here are some cute pics of Haylie and Brayden....she was really loving him.

Christmas dinner in Sonoma

We went out to my Uncle Charlie and Aunt Marie's house in Sonoma for Christmas dinner. We had a great time. It's always nice to go out there and spend time with Grandma and Grandpa Enlow, Charlie and Marie, and all the cousins. Here are some cute pics from the day....


This is me with Brayden and Haylie (Brooke's daughter) she did not want to show her face!!

I tried for an hour and Haylie finally posed for a picture....how cute is she!! This is her "You're buggin me" face. She was camera shy.

Cute Kitty Pics....

Zoey is funny, she likes to protect the christmas tree and the presents under it. Here she is this morning standing guard.

She also loves her daddy, here she is keeping him warm while he takes a nap...

Random Pic of the Day

Oh my goodness look at the size of these feet! Brayden is 12, quite a bit taller than me now, about 145 lbs, and by the looks of these feet, he's still got a lot of growing to do! Holy Crap, Im in trouble!

Silly Bryeson.....

We made christmas cookies tonite. Bryeson was the big helper, he helped roll dough, cut cookies and bake. Then he helped clean up and do dishes. It was fun. I think he was sneaking the dough when no one was watching, and then was on a sugar high or something! Here's a video my mom got of Bryeson dancing! He was having a grand old time in his own dance off! Oh to be a kid again....life is so simple!!

Christmas....here we come!

We decided this morning to get out all of our Christmas decorations....which is a lot in this house. So we spent most of the day decorating the inside of the house and then after dinner we trimmed the tree. (That comment confused the boys....they wanted to go get scissors and seriously trim the tree! We were laughing at that one.) Hopefully soon we will be able to do the outside of the house.

Whip Cream Face

We had pumpkin pie today with homemade whip cream again today at a friends house (Yummy)....Brayden got his hands on the bowl and this is seriously what we found in the kitchen......They never grow up, do they?

Ode to my sissy!

So after the whole Macy's tree thing, we were trying to get ourselves out of dwntwn S.F. and in the process we found this street, it took 5 tries, but I finally got a picture of the street sign that wasnt blurry. I just thought it was funny! Here's to you Jenny and Matt(its their last name,)...love you guys. Cant wait to see you, only a month and a half to go!!!

Getting in the X-mas spirit, already!!

So, I didnt know this, but in downtown San Francisco (in Union Square), Macy's puts up a giant tree & the day after Thanksgiving they do the official tree lighting....oooh! So we thought it would be a fun experience to take the kids and go down there. So, my friend April, her daughter Brittney, and the boys and I packed into the car and headed to S.F. Good thing we left super early, like 3:00, thinking we could get there and walk around for a while first...yeah right. We got about 10 miles from the bridge and hit dead stop traffic. We drove like 10mph all the way across the Golden Gate! It took forever to get there, cuz of course, everyone else was doing the same thing. Then we got to the parking garage...that took another half hour, maybe more, to get a spot. So then we parked, went down to Macy's, and headed for the bathroom (even bigger line). Anyways, by the time we went to the bathroom we barely had enough time to go outside and find a spot in the crowd to see the tree, but it was beautiful once it was lit up! Kinda cool to see it at least once. So then we went and got clam chowder and chili in bread bowls....the boys had so much fun with that!! That made the trip worth it for them. Then, of course, you have to walk around the building to see the famous Macy's x-mas windows. They had real kittens and puppies in the windows, and they're all for adoption....the crowds are amazing, we had to walk around holding hands in a chain to keep together. But we had a great time. Now we are ready for christmas! Time to put up our own tree!!! Here are some random pics.......
