Front row seats at the Jazz Game, not a bad date.  We could have gotten closer but I didn't have my basketball shoes with me.  Turns out the Jazz got the win without me anyway.

A Post

My creative juices are NOT flowing-- obviously I couldn't even come up with a good title for this post.  Regardless, I decided it has been long enough since my last post, and before I get too far behind I should at least acknowledge that Christmas came and it is a new year.  Here are some pics of what's been going on around here over the last month or so:

First:  SNOW

Dallin in the backyard

Trent adoring Daddy

Grant helping himself to a snowy snack

Our snowman

 Up Next:  CHRISTMAS

Goodies we gave to friends 

 PS.  Look closely at Sierra.  She's missing her two front teeth-  how appropriate for Christmas time!  That song was sung around our house nearly every day by our little toothless princess 

Christmas Day-- opening stockings

At toothbrush and BANDAIDS (boy does Santa know Grant!!!)

Trent helping himself to some chocolate (with the wrapper still on. . . apparently removing the packaging is optional)

Dallin drew Trent's name this year and was excited to make him his little drum at scouts-- Trent loves it!

The damage. . .

Dallin. . . looking more like a tween everyday-- hoodie on and ipod in the ears-- this image makes me laugh!

Grandma and Grandpa gave Sierra a cake decorating kit.  Here she is hard at work. . .

The final product!  I think she did a great job!

Lastly:  The new year (no pics of this one)

We're looking forward to what 2011 will bring for our family.  Here are the top 3 exciting happenings that I wrote in my planner:

September 2011:  My 30th B-day!!!   I suppose it is a bit strange that I'm looking forward to being the big 3-0, but I feel that my age has FINALLY caught up to my lifestyle!  (I've been a mom driving a mini van since I was 21, and a mom of 2 when I was 22. . .you get the idea)

December 2011:  Scott and I will celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary!  I think that is something to celebrate, although our dreams of finally having a honeymoon (we've been saying that we'd finally take one for our 10th anniversary. . .) will have to be postponed due to our third exciting event (see below)

July 2011 (I know, I'm not going in chronological order, but I've saved the best for last!):  We will welcome another baby into our family!  That's right folks, 5 kids, before I'm thirty and before our 10th wedding anniversary. . .now that's efficient! :)
