Costa Rica (I know tough life!)

Nick and I just got back from our Annual trip with KJZZ. This year they took us to the beautiful Los Suenos Marriot In Costa Rica. We were about 10 minutes from a city called Jaco. We took our Clients that own Bathcrest. Craig and Carolyn We were able to have wonderful adventures. We went to a Place Called Manuel Antonio National Park. It was about an Hour and a half drive. We got to hike for a mile to a non-existent waterfall (I guess it is the dry season!) But it was a fun hike! Then we got back on the path and saw 2 different kinds of Monkey's. They were flying in the trees! I even fed one a piece of Apple! It was really cool! Then the path took us to the most beautiful white sand beach. We hung out till they closed! It was really fun, except for the part when I got stung by a jellyfish on my foot!!! I didn't even know what happened till we were leaving and one of the park rangers told me! Ouch! It was small, and NO nobody peed on it! I just rubbed mud on it! We were able to go on the most awesome Zip Line! First time for Nick and me! It was a blast and the guys that worked there were so nice and funny! They really made it memorable. Even though my body shook for the first 8 drops. It did stop for the last 6!!! I would defiantly do it again! The rest of the time. We were able to chill by the pool, Hang out with New and Old friends, and just have a great relaxing vacation! It was really a great time! We are glad to be home with the kids! We missed them so much by the 4th day! All was well at home. Except for Ryan being sick the first night with the stomach flu! Yuck! But everyone survived! Thank you Nick for having such a fun job, so you can take me to these Awesome places!

Its a New YEar!

Happy New Year to all of our friends and family! Hope your holidays were wonderful and your New Years Safe! We have started off the new year with so much to look forward too. My cousin and her daughter came to visit, My brother and his girlfriend are coming this week, and then we leave for Costa Rica after that! So a very big and fun January for us! 

A couple weeks ago Bray had the opportunity to do another Commercial for Davis Vision Center. This is his 2nd Radio Commercial and he also did a voice over for a TV commercial last year! He really has a natural talent. Nick said that it only takes him about 3 times to get it just right! The first time we heard it on the radio, Ethan (4) said "MOM THAT IS BRAY!! On the RADIO, IT IS BRAY!!" he was so excited. I didn't even hear it till the end. Nick is so lucky to have such a cheap worker! He works for Fast Food =0). 

Merry Christmas!

Well it came and went way to fast as usual! This year was I think the best Christmas we have had as a family! Next year will probably be the best too though! We started out with our annual Christmas Eve with Stories and Christmas Vacation movie! I had a record year and got to bed at 1:30! Last year it was 3:30! The kids were up and ready to go downstairs at 6:40. I can't believe they slept in. Santa was very generous this year and gave our family a Wii! Then on top of that gave Abby a lifesize horse, Ethan a new bike, and Ryan a scooter! Bray got to wait to go to his Dad's house and got a gas powered remote control Truck! Mom and Dad were very nice to each other and Mom gave Dad a TV. And Dad was in cahoots with Santa and got Mom Guitar Hero World Tour!!! WahOO! JUst what I wanted, I love that dang game! The morning went fast but we loved every minute of it! Nick and I went outside to do Snow Clean up and we were off to the Whites! Fun to hang out with the family! We even managed to go to a Christmas Movie! I am so grateful for our family, I miss my family in California, but we had a great year. We feel so blessed, We are grateful for our Savior and happy that we can celebrate his birth. Love to you all!

Happy Birthday Turkey!

Thanksgiving this year was a special one. Along with celebrating with family, we also celebrated Bray's 11th Birthday! I can't believe he is that old! This year was special because Bray was born on Thanksgiving! He is such a wonderful kid! He was the cutest most perfect baby, he slept through the night at 3 weeks old. He would sleep through anything! He loves hanging out with his Dad's fixing stuff. He has so many people that love him and teach him. He is a wonderful student. He is the teacher's pet and class clown 3 years running =0)! He is a great big brother. He loves to read to his brothers and sister. He is always helping Abby with her homework. And really enjoy's it! He is a wonderful son too! He is very helpful around the house. 

He loves loves loves sports and is a natural Athlete. 

We love you Bray!!

Fun Fun Week!

I can't believe it is November! And it is almost over. So I had the most fun week. First Friday, I was able to go to Twilight the movie with 20 friends and sisters!! It was so fun. I loved the movie. I thought they did a good job. The first book is a little slow, so the movie was a little slow at first, but really picked up. I was a little worried for those who had not read it, but after talking to a few they really liked it too! Then on Sat. It was the BYU/Utah game. After a close start, The Utes came in and kicked some serious butt!! Sorry to all of you BYU fans! Especially my hubby! I was mostly excited, because Bray was so lucky to go to the game with my Best Friend Mary. Thanks Mary and Kenny for including Bray with your family! He will always remember that day! 

My Champ!

Bray just finished his PeeWee season of Football. This is Bray's 2nd year of playing football. He loves it more than eating! He has such a passion for learning plays and creating new ones! He really did awesome this year. He went in with a little nervousness. He is one of the smallest kids on the team, and in the league! He was able to play with a lot of the same boys he played with last year and with the same coach. This year we had a couple of new coaches that brought our boys up to their FULL potential! Thanks Coach Woody and Zach! We went into the first game not as confident as we needed to be. With some bad calls and tough referee's. We lost by 3 points. That got the boys pumped up to win the next game, and the trend continued!! They were unstoppable!! They never lost another game!!! Saturday they played the toughest game yet. For the Championship against Riverton. Bray started the game with a bang! The first touchdown!! I was screaming so loud, my throat still hurts! It was a tough back and forth after that, we won by getting an interception in the last minute of the game! So proud of these boys! Especially Bray for sticking it out! Playing harder and harder every game! I can't even express how proud I am to be his mom. He is the best kid anyone could ever have. He has wonderful family all around him! His Dad's family is the best! His Step-Dad's family is also! My family calls him to wish him good luck and even flies out for 1 game a year. Thanks Nana! We are all blessed to have Bray be part of us! 

Halloween

 It was the best year yet for Halloween. It isn't my favorite holiday, but this year the kids were able to walk everywhere. Abby wasn't scared and she was braver than I thought she would be! Last year she wouldn't get out of the car! This year went to every house! Except one that had someone hiding and Bray gave us a heads up! Bray went with a couple of friends, he took a walkie talkie, so Nick could talk to him the whole time. It was really cute. The boys had a blast just running from one house to another. They still went inside every persons house! I can't seem to get them to just stay on the porch. Silly friendly babies! I just can't get over how big they are getting. It is too much fun.
