Santa.........Ho Ho Ho!

Today I once again dragged my boys to the Mall
to get their yearly picture with Santa!
I have 14 years of pictures now!
I display them all and love to look at them and see how my boys have all grown up!
At nearly 16, I can not believe
that I can still get Daniel to sit on Santas lap!
What a great kid!

While Santa was talking to Noah he asked what Noah wanted for Christmas.
Noah told him "Duct Tape".
Funny thing is, Noah was dead serious!
He loves duct tape.
And now it comes in all kinds of cool colors and designs.
Gotta love that kid!
He wants nothing but duct tape in his stocking!

Happy 6th Birthday Dakota!!

Can not believe Dakota is already 6 years old!
He started Kindergarten this year and is so grown up!
He thinks anyway!

We love Dakota and can not imagine life without him!!
I think at times Noah can imagine it, but he would miss him.........

Painting........

A couple of weeks ago I flew out to Oregon
and my sister Tammy and I helped my mom paint her house.
Her kitchen was white and she picked out green.
I really liked how it turned out
and I think she loved it.
Tammy and my nieces thought it was so funny that I had never
painted the inside of a house before.
We have always hired it out. But I think I did a pretty good job,
although Tammy towards the end was wishing we had hired it out!!!

Tammy and I also surprised my mom by taking her to get her hair cut, colored and styled!
I think she looks great, and I think she too was happy with the results.
I was happy that I was able to take the time and spend with family and help
my mom. I enjoyed the time spent with her and Tammy and her family!

Sidelines

(They even have the same #15)

Last Friday Night Lone Peak played in the Quarter Finals
against Northridge.
They won, but it was their toughest game so far.
They are by far the top High School Team in the state
and have the #1 High School Football Player in the State, Chase Hansen
who also happens to be our neighbor.
Noah was able to get a sideline pass for this game and was able to
watch the whole game from the side line!
This is like a dream come true for a 9 year old.
Chase also happens to be his football hero and
Noah loved that he was able to get his picture taken with Chase!
I am sure this will go on Noahs
"Wall of Fame" with pictures of all his other top players!!

Noah

I was looking through some old pictures on the computer
and found this recording that Autumn had made of Noah when he was about 3!
So, so cute. Love his voice and the cute little faces that he would make!
Can't believe how fast he is growing up!
