FUN IN THE SNOW

Carli

With all this snow my sisters and I decided to take our kids sledding. Luckily there are hills all around us. We had so much fun. I was so impressed by my little Gavin he would not stop, he would go down the hill and come back up all by himself, by the end he would want me to carry his snow tube. He was so much fun. My niece Carli, got the worst of it all. She was going off a jump and totally wiped out. She scratched her little face all up, but she didn't stop going down the hill. Brynlee didn't want to go home, I think I finally got her to appreciate the snow and how fun it is and can be. She is my little girl that wishes it was summer all year round. It was really a nice day to be with my kids.

Christmas Time

December has been a lot of fun. We started out by blessing Haven. Then we had a good time decorating a gingerbread house with the kids. Gavin mostly liked eating the candy and could not quit figure out why we would put it on the house. Brynlee loves to decorate and do stuff like that so she enjoyed every minute of it. Then Christmas came and we had a good day. Brynlee and Gavin were so excited about their new toys. Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Riggs house and had breakfast and opened more presents. Then to Grandma and Grandpa Myler's house. The kids had a good time playing with their cousins, while the adults decided to play spoons, but it was a different kind of spoons. If you didn't get a spoon you had to eat a jelly bean, which could be juicy pear or burger, black licorice or skunk spray, I was luck enough to get burger it was disgusting. (Don't worry Lonni, I won't post your picture:)). It was a fun Christmas to get together as family.

Haven's Blessing

We blessed Haven on Sunday. It was so neat. My grandma was able to come and Haven's middle name was named after her, Haven Julia Riggs. She also wore the dress that I wore when I was a litte girl, my grandma made it out of the material from my mom's wedding dress. It was really nice to have her there. She is such an important person in my life and has taught me so much. She is someone that I have always admired. I really appreciate all that she has done for me in my life and her example.

Over Thanksgiving weekend we got to go to St. George with Gordon's family. It was fun to get out of town. We went shopping at the outlet mall and got some awesome deals. We also went to the craft fair. I got to go into Cedar City and see my grandma and she got to see Haven for the first time. I also got to see some of my cousins that I hadn't seen for a long time. It is always fun to get together with family. It's to bad that the Holidays is the only time that families come together.

So I am completely new at this and never thought that I would actually do this!! But it seems like a good way to stay in touch with family and friends. So here we go.
