Snow Day

On Wednesday December 29th it snowed a lot! I took all the boys outside (including my nephew Sam) and they went sledding and Beckham had fun just trying to walk through the VERY deep snow. After that we had to go inside and get back in our pajamas and under warm blankets!

Jr Jazz

Cole and Bradley are in a Jr Jazz Basketball team, which they love. They received free Jazz tickets for Monday December 27th! Dennis took Cole, Bradley, and their cousin Sam. Dennis said they had fun...for the first quarter... but they hung in there until the 3rd quarter. I think they loved being with their cousin Sam most of all!

New Years Eve 2010

Happy New Year!!

This New Year's Eve we decided to get some food from Cafe Rio, watch a movie, and celebrate New Year's at 8:00 p.m. However, Cole and Bradley felt they were old enough to stay up until midnight this year and celebrate at the right time. We wished Beckham a Happy New Year and put him to bed and put a movie on for the boys. They boys kept asking us what time it was ...10:30, 10:45, 11:00, 11:30, and then when we finally hit midnight the boys were out... I mean... so asleep NOTHING would wake them up! In the morning Bradley asked if we celebrated without him and of course we didn't! :) Everyone was asleep, except for Dennis and me! It was the FIRST New Years in many years that I stayed awake. I am excited for 2011 and all the possibilities it brings. I am excited to make self improvements, house improvements, and to watch my kids grow and learn new skills. Each year brings new excitement and challenges and we are ready for it in 2011!

Merry Christmas 2010

This Christmas was WONDERFUL! I was a little worried because Beckham's collarbone was making him miserable and more work than usual, but the little guy made it through with smiles (and no nap) on Christmas. The kids woke up at 6:50 a.m. They have never awakened this early before. They were very excited, as were we! Beckham was still asleep, so the boys opened their presents one by one and loved them all. Cole and Bradley were so anxious for Beckham to wake up and see what Santa had brought him! He finally woke up and they all had so much fun together. We then headed over to my parents for breakfast with all of their cousins and then back home where they continued to set up Lego's with their dad and talk to their LaTour cousins/family in North Carolina. I am so truly grateful for my family and for the Savior's birth. Dennis and I really made sure our kids knew what Christmas is about, which made it so even more meaningful.
