Jess seriously wonders.....


Jess will rarely pose for a picture unless she's making some silly face. Here she's with her friend, Britney, at a school volleyball team party. Check out those baby blues...

Marshall rocks on the guitar


Marshall and his friend, Bridger jammed on their guitars on the coffee table. Yeah, the kid's got talent. He stands next to me with that guitar while I jam on Guitar Hero. He pretty much ROCKS! :-)

Jazz vs Suns


Jess, Meg & I got to go to the Jazz game last week. Ok, so I didn't realize that the Jazz had changed their colors until we got to Applebees. I saw people everywhere wearing Lt. blue & Navy Jazz shirts. I was so embarassed that I went into the bathroom, took my purple shirt off & threw it in the trash. Hmph. Thankfully, I had a long sleeve white shirt underneath. Scott had bought the girls each a Suns jersey, which they politely took pictures in, then left at home. Good thing cause they got their booties kicked! I LOVED the game -- yelling, cheering, dancing. We even ventured to the floor so we could see the players run out. Great fun!

Tree-pee


This year instead of having a standard Christmas tree, we made a "Tree-pee." I made it out of PVC pipe that I spray painted brown, then made a tripod with fittings. I then set it up & taped it together with electrical tape. I wrapped garland & lights around each pole, and let each child decorate a pole. We could place gifts inside the treepee instead of around it. It was cool!

Service project: Frodsham Farm





I went with our ward youth to Frodsham Farm, a farm who collects donations all year to give to the homeless. Buses of homeless people from the area arrive and are able to choose gifts, toys, clothing, blankets, and enjoy soup & hot cocoa. We each served as "hosts" to guide the families through. It was such a neat experience -- one I think our whole family will take part in next year.
