Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Merry Christmas to everybody....This year was super quiet for us. We decided to open the Christmas presents on Christmas Eve because the boys could hardly wait to try out all the new stuff.
Christmas day is being spent playing the new Wii. Cant pull them away from it.

For all technical purposes we had to put the present in the stocking....besides its kind of cute.

Thanks to Aunt Amanda and Aunt Elizabeth we are styling with new Holiday Sun glasses!

Logan got nicely dressed up to go to the Christmas Eve Service...Its rare to see him want to get his nice clothes on.

We have plans to go to BlackHawk on the 1st, since its a day off and Chris' birthday. We have some friends we will be going with, and Logan will be staying with Aunt Kathy.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

New Member of the Family

Yesterday we brought home our little puppy.

She is a chihuahua, and about 6 weeks old. Logan named her Cinderella-Jasmine, I think we'll stick to just calling her Cinderella. Its kind of a big name for a little dog but that was Logan's choice. So begins raising a new Child (close enough) we'll be working on potty training and everything that comes along with having a new puppy. Logan was very excited to get her and promised to take "very good care of the puppy."

We went and looked at her a few weeks ago and had to finalize the convincing of Chris to get a puppy. He's being a good sport going along with it. He pretends that he's not excited about the puppy and may not say that he likes it but the photo proves opposite.

She spends most of her day sleeping, suppose that's how it will be til she gets a little bigger.


Logan is still doing swimming lessons, and we're finally making progress. Its fun to see him get a little more better and confident every time. He wants to join karate in January, but that activity is yet to be determined.

Have a Merry Christmas...More updates to come!!!

Logan's Birthday

Guess what we're already 8!!! Logan celebrated his birthday last weekend with some friends and they went to Utah Pool. Then on Tuesday he got to bring cupcakes to school and they had a party for him. On Sunday we are having Rich and Barb and Kathy over for a little aunt/uncle birthday party...One kid so many parties!!
This year was the power ranger theme..He was very excited to pick out his cake and cups and party stuff.

He had about 7 friends over and they went swimming, down the waterslide, and played on the water play ground. They had a good time.



This is a picture of my friend Nadine...She also was promoted to Service Manager 1 with me at my branch..Which was nice to be promoted with your friend. So we deciced since we have to share a desk a computer, a phone ext...we might as well have a picture of us together sitting on our desk....

We also wasted no time getting our house decorated for Christmas...So I had to show everybody our very first Christmas Tree in Colorado..Living in the small apartment allowed no room for one so we finally got one.

BUSY BUSY WEEK

Well I guess while Dad and Chris and having fun attending the Denver Broncos vs Miami Dolphins Game I might as well update this blog.


Mom and Dad arrived on Tuesday and so the running around began. On Wednesday we went to Estes Park with Aunt Kathy. It is always fun to run around and see all the little shops that they have. The problem is try to not find stuff to buy!


On Thursday Mom and Dad helped Logan carve his pumpkins for Halloween. I was so busy at work that I missed out on it this year. But they got it done and they both looked great.


Take note in the picture for the lack of leaves on my ground I will show you why later.



On Friday was Logans favorite Holiday besides Christmas. He decided this year to dress up as a White Rino Power Ranger. Who or what that character entails only he knows!


I didn't buy any candy because we were going to go trick or treating. But lesson learned. When you live in a house kids will come anyway. Next year I will have the candy on hand for before and after we leave the house, as to not disappoint any more kids again.
Off to the church party we went. We all got to eat free hot dogs, soda, and there was alot of candy. They called it the TRUNK OR TREAT. Folks had their cars lined up and the kids just got to get candy out of decorated car trunks. Then inside they had balloons and face painting and magic tricks. In Sunday service they estimated they had anywhere between 2,000-2,500 people attending the TRUNK OR TREAT



Saturday night we had Barb, Rich, and Kathy over for game night. First we all learned how to milk cows and the dirty part of living on a dairy farm when we watched MIKE ROWES DIRTY JOBS on THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL. ( good watching if you get that channel)
Then we had a long night of playing the game apples to apples. Now key advice if your going to play with Uncle Rich you need to pick the least obvious answer and you may possible get some points.

When buying a house trees are nice and they provide great shade, but do you ever think about those darling wonderful leaves and what happens to them in the fall.
Well I love my trees and they were great this summer. I have already raked my leaves 3 times this year, and in less than 4 days this is what I am left with.


And just look at all those leaves that are still waiting to fall to the ground. I may never get them all raked up. Wish me luck


To end things on a good note. I finally got my promotion at work. I am no longer a teller at Wells Fargo. I got promoted to Service Manager 1. That job requires me to schedule the tellers to work, help them get their sales, take all the crabby customers, and make sure that we are getting all 5's in our shops ( meaning that when we survey a customer they feel that we treated them well.) Very excited I worked a long time to get this and attended tons of training for it.
