Nutcracker Ballet

Dec 17 - My mom bought tickets for us girls to go to the Nutcracker Ballet in Cody.  There were 11 of us that went.  Me, Stacey, and my kids and Miranda came up early to go to Walmart and the Dollar Tree to finish up some last minute Christmas shopping.  Mom came up with Stacy, Aut and her kids.  I left Jaxon at home with Dave.  Here we are waiting for it to start...

 One of the first scenes.  I couldn't get very good pictures because flash photography wasn't allowed.  Here's one of the better pictures I took...

 I made the girls pose for me beside the nutcracker after it got over...

 Later, we met up at Pizza Hut and ate some pizza and fettucine alfredo!

 Stacy got Laser surgery on her eyes a couple days ago and has to wear these cool shades everywhere...

Girls (and boy) Night

Dec 16 - I babysat Autumn's kids today and tonight while she went Christmas shopping with Josh.  Here's Jax and McKayla watching a movie together...

 Kyra's rockin it out...

Kyra's Dancing Debut!

Dec 15 - Kyra dance for the first time tonight in her dance group at a bball game in Cowley.  She was so excited about it and she did a great job!!

Ward Christmas Party

Dec 14 - A lot of my family was able to come to the party tonight, mainly to watch my girls perform in their skits and dances.  It was nice to have everyone there!

 Kaitlyn danced with the Young Women in a black light bench dance on stage.

 Kyra played Mary in the Primary skit...

 Rylee was an angel, but I couldn't see her very well since she was way in the back...

Jaxon's Got Some Moves!!

Dec 12- Jaxon was throwing a ball to Kaitlyn and every time he threw it, he would bust a move.... SO FUNNY!!

Town Christmas Party

Dec 1 - Had our town Christmas Party tonight.  Had a great time as always!

 Jaxon was excited to see Santa at first, but wanted nothing to do with him at this point....

Hunt for the Perfect Christmas Tree!

Nov. 25 - Every year we go up the Big Horns to get trees.  It's been a tradition since my kids were born and we do it every year.  We bring hot chocolate, chili, and cinnamon rolls.  My dad provided the food this year, but forgot to bring something to warm it with.  So, we had lukewarm chili with our rolls, but it still tasted pretty darn good! 

Headed up the hill in search of our trees...

 While the adults keep looking for the trees, the kids take time to sled down another hill...

 Jaxon attempting to make a snowball and then after he would throw it at my legs...

 Alan trying to take down Kaitlyn...

 Awww, best buds!

 Autumn just got revenge on Josh by pulling down his pants after he dumped her in the snow...

 Eating our yummy food...

 After getting home, we put the tree up and started decorating.  The girls were a little disappointed in our Charlie Brown tree...It's probably the shortest one we've ever had!

 But after decorating and lighting the tree, it looked a lot better!!

 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
