Christmas Time...

I was laid off the end of August and with all my extra time I thought I would find more time to blog. Apparently I'm not good. I wont give up. Not sure anyone even reads my blog but for those who do I'll try to keep 'em coming!

We were not able to get a tree tag this year. It has been a family tradition to cut our own tree. Hot dog roast, hot chocolate, sleigh riding and hiking all over the mountain for the perfect tree. Well this year we supported the local tree lot and purchased our perfect tree. For much more than the $10 tree tag and it wasn't as fun but I like the tree. It's really pretty. 


I love decorating for Christmas. This year we purchased new stockings. Mine is the best. Sometimes being the only girl has its benefits LOL! I also made some Popsicle stick snowflakes thanks to Pinterest and my mother-in-law purchased the blocks for all of us sister-in-laws to make. They are super cute!







Update I found a new job. I will be doing billing @ a CPA office in Spanish Fork. I don't start until Jan 2nd but it's coming fast and now I'm finding myself rushing to get everything I slacked on getting done the last few months finished, as well as finding time to Christmas shop, (which by the way we haven't even started...not one thing) LOL

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

National School Lunch Week
Brandon and I went to school to eat with Derek today for National School Lunch Week! We had so much fun. Derek was so excited that we were coming but then said Brandon was eating too slow and he wanted to go to recess...LOL...it was a fun day!

Back blogging...

So I decided it was time to start updating the blog again. So a little update:

Arlund-started a new job in June working as a machinist with his Dad. He really enjoys working there and it was a good change for our family. No more driving 3 hours a day and he his home at a decent time. It's great to have him around more.
Jo Lene-I was laid off from my job in August and I am currently looking for work. I have enjoyed being home with the boys and having a hard time wanting to go back to work lol...
Kayden-is 13 years old and in the 7th grade. He is currently playing football and really enjoys it. He is great at it too and it is so much fun and nerve racking to watch him. He will start wrestling at the end of this month.
Derek-is 10 years old and in the 4th grade. He loves school and would rather go everyday than have a day off. He is currently playing flag football and really likes it. He also likes to play basketball and will start in January.
Brandon-is 4 years old and goes to pre-school. He loves school! He has enjoyed staying home with mom as well! He loves to draw and play outside. He is at such a fun age!

Hopefully this time we can stay on top of things and keep you updated...until next post!
