We actually had a white christmas!! It snowed 3 inches on christmas eve which the kids had to have a snow ball fight in at 10:30 pm. You can't tell from these Christmas day pics that there was that much because it was so windy. It was the snowyest Christmas Dallas has ever seen since they started keeping weather stats in the 1800's. We were very much at home.

Here are some Christmas morning pictures Daven took with his new Digital Camera. Santa knew he would need it for College next year and then his mission. We have Dan with Brandon and Brandon's new mp3 player.

Ashton and his new bike.

Darren with the nerf double barrel shot gun

And Justin with his new BB and Pellet gun. Mikelle didn't get a pic from Daven because she got a boring sewing machine which she has completed her first project of PJ pants

We went to one of the local parks and took this picture in Dec. It wasn't even that cold. If you notice we all match with the ties and dresses. It was real fun to wear them the church and places.

It was Davens last season game and Senior night. We got to escort Daven onto the field and they acknowledged every senior that was in football, cheerleading, band, drillteam, color guard, honor guard and more. We started 45 min before the game. Pic is not the best but i hope we can get a better one from other photographer.

Halloween 2009. It was 74 degrees still when we went over to the church for Trunk-o-Treating. Didn't even need a jacket to go around the neighborhood.

Daven had a combined activity with the Laurels and Priests. They were at a park doing a service project yet this is how he came home, covered in egg and flour.

Thank goodness there are leather seats in the suburban!

Brandon had a project for science with the "mole theory". They could do anything that had the theme of mole and have the mathmatical theory on it in some way. Brandon decided to make a cake of Wack a Mole. then he put the theorm on the score board. It turned out great!

2009-11-06T07:27:00.000-08:00

Daven and Brandon have been able to sing the National Anthem at the last few football games. Here are some pics of that. I did not video it because there is so much echo you can't hear it very well.

Here are this years pumpkins. We have a tradition to carve our pumpkins the monday before halloween, but this year they didn't last even until Thursday and since halloween was on Saturday we didn't have any lit. Maybe need to consider changing that tradition while in Texas.

Brandon finished his Eagle Project just a week before we left Utah. His board of review was 2 days before we left but all went well and he is now recieving his eagle. He will be presented his Eagle on Sat. September 19, 2009 at 6:00 pm in Fort Worth. We are excited about this and glad that both Grandma and Grandpa Jones and Ritchie will be able to attend. Tim's son Wade, just 7 days younger that Brandon, will be recieving his Eagle with Brandon.

Here is our new house. It is alot bigger in living aspects but i have had to be ingenious to get all of our food storage and things that were in the shed to fit so we could also use the garage which is something that alot of people here do not us for cars.

Potty trained at last

2009-03-15T17:26:00.000-07:00

I have been trying since last August to get Ashton to potty train as was about to give up. I even took him to the doctor that told me to give it a rest for a time and then start over. Well i went home and not two days later he started to go pee by himself. and then another 5 days later he finished up and now got his tomas the train that i bribed him with. Oh happy day!!!!!!

The seals at the aquarium in Oceanside were great!!! They would watch you and when you brought food for them they all had things that they did to get your attention. This one was our favorite!!

Drivers licence

2008-09-19T15:37:00.002-07:00

Daven got his drivers this month. How scary is that. He is a good driver and it is really nice not to have to drive him every where. It was really nice when I needed a few quick things for dinner and had someone here that could go fetch it!!
