Party, Pizza, Pooped Ramma

Last night Heather & Garrett went to a company Christmas party so Corban & Jayce came to my house to P-A-R-T-Y!!! I had so much fun being with these little boys, they just make me so happy!! We ordered pizza and watched Charlie Browns Christmas and then we made a reindeer. Corban made Dasher because he's fast just like him. And Jayce...........well lets just say Jayce got to the antlers and then tore them off and ran while Grandma chased him around the family room trying to catch him as he ran off with the noses and eyes. Jayce is ready to watch Charlie Brown. He sat still for.......well this picture and that was it! I thought that after his bath he would be tired but I think after splashing me and getting me soaking wet he was re-freshed!

Corban's ready to watch Charlie Browns Christmas but first he was my present. He loved "Pig Pen", he thought he was funny because he was dirty even in the snow. He also felt bad for Charlie Browns Christmas tree, he wanted to help decorate it.

The boys take a time out from playing freeze tag to refuel. I love how Corban gives his little brother a drink, he is so good to Jayce.

Corban puts Dasher on the "Star Trek" tree. It is the only non-Star Trek ornament on that tree. Every year we put up this small tree just for my Trekkie Bart.

Corban shows me Dasher

Last but not least, Jayce gets ready to do a somersault (which he actually did)! He is so funny!!

I had so much fun last night with my grandsons and I can't wait for our next night together!

Gumdrop Tree

On Saturday, Bart and Heather went Christmas shopping together which meant the Corban and Jayce got to play with Ramma!! Yeah!!! We watched Home Alone which is such a fun movie to watch with Corban because when Kevin "boobytraps" his house to catch the bad guys Corban laughs so hard that I can't help but laugh at him. You could just see the little wheels in his head turning with all sorts of ideas.................I just hope he doesn't try any of them on me!!

After the movie we decorated the gumdrop tree. We had so much fun eating......I mean decorating it and I am sure we will need more gumdrops real soon! Corban was so patient trying to teach Jayce how to put them on the tree but Jayce was more concerned on how to eat them off the tree.

I just love these little boys!!!!

One for the tree, one for Corban and Jayce
Jayce watches his big brother Corban put the gumdrop on in just the right place

"This gumdrop tree tastes yummy"!

Jayce wants a gumdrop but can't get it off easily so..........

He finds it much easier to get them off with his mouth!

My Best Friend

Heather proudly shows off her new sweatshirt and scripture purse she got for her birthday. Corban and Jayce just want her to open up more birthday presents.

Daddys little girl.
Safety first...........but a lifejacket with a dress???

I met my best friend October 19th 1983. The minute we met I knew she would always be my best friend. One whom I could laugh with, cry with, share lots of secrets, stay up late and watch movies with. I knew that she would be my partner in crime weather it was shopping, eating nachos or chocolate late at night to giving me manicures and pedicures.

My best friend has been my shoulder to cry on when I have lost loved ones, she has made me laugh so hard that I have nearly wet my pants, she has kept my speeding tickets a secret and she has held my hand on so many occasions that I can't begin to count.

There are so many wonderful things I can say about my friend. She is just as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside. She loves her family and friends and is always there for them. She is a wonderful wife and the best mother any kid could ask for. She loves her Heavenly Father. She is dependable and she will do her best to do anything for me.

There are so many wonderful things she has done for me over the years but by far the very best thing she has ever done was when she made me a "Ramma" to two beautiful little boys. Nothing can ever compare with this gift and I am so greatful that she has made it possible for me to see my little guys everyday!! I love them so much!!!

As you can tell, my best friend is my daughter Heather!! I just want her to know how much I love and appreciate everything she does. She is truely the best daughter that I could have asked for and I don't know what I did to deserve her.

I am so proud of the person that she has become, the example she is to her family and for the loving daughter that she is.

I love you Heather!!! Forever and For Always!!!!!

Brock lends a helping hand

Every Tuesday and Thursday I get online and read the Price Sun Advocate so I can catch up on hometown "gossip". Anyway, I got on the web site today and as I am reading the front page I see a picture of a very handsome young man with an article about the Student Body from Carbon High School. The picture that is on the front page is none other then my little Brock J.!!!

Brock is in the Student Government and this year they collected over 2,200 pounds of food to donate to the Carbon County Food Bank. Great job Brock!!! He is such an awesome kid and good-lookin too!!!

I'm so proud of all my nephews and nieces and now you can just see another reason why!!
