You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.

GO BYU!!!!!!!!

BYU vs U of U, and once again BYU came out on top. Melanie has no taste what so ever. We try every year to get her rooting for the right team and it just hasn't worked. This was a fun day Janet, Cindy, and I (Cindy and Howard doing most the work) had our pod covered in Blue. Melanie tried with care packages of red, but we out did her and helped our team to the win.
This was a little bit after our win, but we just thought we would rub it in a little more!!!
Look Melanie even dressed in Blue that day. Maybe we are rubbing off on her after all!!!!!!

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, since my Dad passed away, I have had my family over for a Christmas Party. It always ends or starts out at the cemetery to light luminaries for my Dad, and then we go by Spanish Fork and light one for my daughter Garamie.
This year Shane and Ryan sat there and said that my Dad was up in heaven laughing at all of us saying "You dumb suckers, look what she's got you doing now. Why aren't you at home keeping warm, instead of out in the worst snow storm of the year?" He was getting quite a kick out of us forging our way in the snow. Even Gramps got a chuckle and said "He probably thinks we're a bunch of dumb asses!" Anyways I am thankful to my family for supporting me in this ritual. It is my way of being with my Dad on the holidays. As you can see all the white stuff, that was a lot of snow coming down.


Here is my favorite younger niece Vanessa and Natasha opening gifts. We do our gift exchange on Christmas Eve.
Here is my son Ryan, David Hunter, Ryan, and Gramps. Hunter get your finger out of your nose.
Nichole and Ryan teasing Grandma and Lewis.
This is Lewis and my mom. They are BYU junkies. So of course they received more BYU apparel.
My Sister In Law Kelly and my wonderful Gramps. I loved being with my family and having them create traditions. I loved having my Gramps there because it meant I had a part of my Dad there. After we ate and exchanged gifts we went to the movie and seen National Treasure II. It was pretty good. I had a great holiday, I enjoy the memories, and I love my family.

Natasha's Christmas Dance Recital

This is part of the dance "Sleigh Ride." It was fun to watch her perform and for being as sick as she was she did absolutely great.
Ok, so Natasha had a dance recital up in SLC at the festival of trees. These were cute lil 4 year olds dancing to "I wanna hippopotamus for Christmas." They were pretty cute.
Now here is Natasha getting ready for her Company kids dance. She has a fever and is doped up on Medicine, but really wanted to come. She missed her dance rehearsal that morning, but still wanted to go to the festival of trees and perform. What a trooper!!! Her big sis Nichole helped her get ready.
This is her Hip-Hop routine. She did her best, but you could tell she didn't feel well.
Here she is dancing to the song "Sleigh Ride". They did pretty good and it was fun to watch. The other kids had already looked at the trees and didn't think it was all that. Natasha was really to sick to do much looking. I remember going as a child and thinking how neat it was.
