LA TRIP

A couple of weeks ago Clint and I went to LA all ALONE! We dropped our kids off up North with family and then flew out to LA for 4 days of fun. We went down there to watch the World Baseball Classic. We had so much fun. We watched 3 differnt games. I have to say this trip turned me into a true Baseball fan. I loved being at the stadium, eating Dodger Dogs and Cracker Jacks, and hanging out with my hubby.

We spent a couple of hours one of the days before the game at Universal Studios. Our hotel was across the street so we ran over there and hit all the things we wanted to see there in a couple of hours.

OUR BUSY WEEK

Tatumn's class program on Utah's History. Her custume is so funny. We made it the night before. We went to Walmart and stood there like Idiots asking the worker how much fabric we needed. Then came home and glued it together. Yes I am very crafty! ;)

Tatumn's school choir sang at the Grand Opening of Walmart! Does that officially make me white thrash for watching a ribbon cutting of Walmart?

We went to St. George to watch our nephew Colton play baseball. Owen loved watching and yelling when Colton was up to bat. No pics. of Tate down there she was to busy running around with her cousins!

Valentines Day

Clint really spoiled me this year on Valentines Day. The week of the big day he sent me 6 roses everyday for four days and then on Friday had a dozen sent. That day he also gave me a gift card and some Chocolate covered Strawberries. He took me to dinner and had even called the sitter. Compared to all that my gift sucked!

MY FUNNY BOY

Owen says the funniest things. On Sunday in his Primary Class, they were talking about when Jesus was born. Owen raises his hand and informs the class that "Jesus Christ was born in a chocolate factory" Luckily his teachers think he is cute and know that we have taught him the right stuff at home.

Owens favorite thing in the morning and night is to snuggle. He tells me everyday that I am the best snuggler in town. But my favorite is when he tells me I make the best dinner ever! I could have made him easy mac, and still he says it. He sure knows how to melt my heart and redeem himself from the days mischief!

MY BIG SUNBEAM

Owen had his first day as a sunbeam last week. He sat in his chair and raised his hand! Way to go big boy. We love how big you are getting.

CHRISTMAS UNWRAPPED

We had the best Christmas ever! It has been so nice to have Tate home from school. Her and Owen have played great together giving me lots of time to get closets cleaned out and reorganized. Every year on Christmas Eve we get out the video camera and watch all our videos of the year and lots of old ones. I can't believe how much my kids change from year to year. That night we open new pjs and read from the Bible. This year Grandma and Grandpa Wood came down and spent the night. It was great to have them here for Christmas morning.

The kids in their new pjs.

Owen and Tatumn went to bed surprising early. We couldn't believe that they went up and right to sleep. But they did. Tatumn woke up at 4:00 and was reading by the night light. We told her to go back to be till 7:00. Owen was so excited and couldn't wait to go down stairs and see what Santa had left out.

The mad dash to see what Santa left. Tatumn and her load of gifts.

The Skate Boarding Guy. (That's what he makes us call him)

After seeing what Santa had left we opened presents. Clint got me a lot of odds and ends. He picked out great clothes this year. He really spoils me. After all of us were done Clint had me close my eyes for one last surprise. He had gotten me a new Lap Top. I still can't believe it. We had the best day ever just hanging out all day in our pjs and playing together as a family.

CLINT'S BIRTHDAY BASH

This year we had a little party for Clint. On Thanksgiving weekend we were at Clint's parents house, so we had Clint's family and friends meet us at the bowling ally. The Boys and their Balls
