Christmas Morning

We had a really nice Christmas. The only down fall was that Stockton woke up with the Flu. But, he still wasn't going to let that get in the way of opening gifts. They got some great toys. They opened the gifts so fast!

Thank you Toy-R-Us for your great Black Friday Deals! I was done shopping for the kids after Black Friday....It was really fun.

Meredith's Wedding

I was a bridesmaid for a college roommate of mine, Meredith, just got married in the SLC temple. She married a guy from Mississippi named Bryce... It was a great day to catch up. I had a great time with Tiffany another one of my roommates, her little boy is so cute and big. Love you Tiff.



Sam and I had dropped the kids off in Logan to Sam's parents and we headed for the day to SLC. It is so weird sometimes going places without them. There is a sense of calmness. It was kind of nice having lunch at the Joseph Smith Memorial building, with just the two of us. I loved the Christmas Tree and all the decor. It's always pretty that time of year. Here are some of the pictures. It was great seeing all the "Utah State Roommates" again.




We are getting ready for the whole week of Christmas Parties next week. I haven't posted anything forever. I have just been going out of my mind. I am right now sewing a bunch of draperies, I will have to take pictures when I am all done. We are remodeling my Aunt Jolene's house and it's almost finished. Right in time for Christmas (I hope)...



Pictures of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building during Christmas.. This was also my first time in the SLC Temple and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!

Halloween 2009

I just wanted to give a small update. I have been sick for 3 weeks with something the doctor's couldn't even figure out. I finally had a series of shots and now I feel good and I was finally all better the day before Halloween. Sam has survived as well. We had a full day for Halloween, we started at 9:00am at the Red Robin Halloween Party. Stockton and Makenna were kissed a million times. A couple of the waitresses always want to babysit Makenna, they always fuss over her. They also call Stockton "Little Sam", Stockton knew what he wanted right when he got there, French Fries...They loved it, but I think Sam loved seeing his kids more.

Then we went with Grandma Longhurst to a Pumpkin walk, where they had tons of displays made of pumpkins. The kids saw their favorite characters like Sponge Bob, Shrek, and tons more there. It was really amazing what people can come up with. After that we went home and I cooked up some Taco Soup for our Ward Halloween dinner and trunk or treat. Sam got home and we dashed out the door to the dinner. Stockton had a hard time keeping on his mask, he got so tired of it, he just decided to take off his whole outfit there. I had to bribe him with candy to put it back on. He sure was the first in line for trunk-or-treating. That is when the light turn on that they were actually asking for candy. They were really excited. Stockton pick up Trick-or-Treat really good!

After that we had a full night of Trick-or-Treating door to door with Grandma and Grandpa Longhurst. It sure was fun! The kid lasted alot longer then we thought they would. We even went to a home that had a toy store for all the kids to pick their favorite toy, IT WAS AMAZING! The line was huge, but kids would come out with Barbies, Trucks, it was crazy. Makenna got a Riding Horse and Stockton got a goodie bag with a Bear, Crayons, Crayon book, and bumble gum machine. My dad and I waiting in line with the kids, it was the most amazing/crazy thing I have ever seen before. It was like being a kid all over again this year. That will be our first house we hit for now every year! The good thing now, the kids forgot about their candy and it's all hidden. So, I give it for rewards throughout the day and they aren't eating it all at once! What a great age....

Our New Living Room, the Dining Space, and Entry...More to come!

We just moved into our new home and we don't have the Internet yet since it's a new subdivision. Since I run my business out of my home on the Internet, it's been really difficult. I have to ask all my friends if I can come over and use the Internet or I have to run to my parents house in Shelley. All the bedrooms are fully decorated, I am just waiting for bed rails for Makenna's room and then you will have more coming!
