Welcome Spring

We went to the Sand Dunes last weekend , and had such a great time with great friends. The weather was perfect. Bryton has asked everyday since when we are going back.

The kids had so much fun riding and playing in the sand. We brought Paige's little 4 wheeler, it wouldn't go but her and Gavin sure had a lot of fun just sitting on them and trying to make them go.


Bryton loved riding in the sand. He stayed on the flats where the sand was a little harder. At one point he did get stuck in the sand, so he got off his bike and just started walking beside it giving it gas trying to get it out. Luckily Adam got to him before the bike took off. He is so funny, he will turn corners so fast that it looks like he is going to tip over, even with the training wheels. I on the other hand did not like the sand so well. I didn't get a paddle tire and I really could not ride anywhere. But I loved watching Bryton and Adam ride. You can hear Paige in the background saying "come on" to Adam because she wanted a ride. It was a lot of fun watching Adam and Dustin ride, they love it and they are really good at it. What a great day!

Dad and Paige!

Bryton, thinking he is pretty cool :)

So Kellie tagged me a while ago, and I am finally getting around to posting. I guess she new I needed a little push. I don't know what I would do with out my Mr. Man. I started calling him that when he was really young because he always acted older, and wanted to be older then he was. He has taught me so much. I love you Bryton!!!

Supercross

Yea Supercross season has begun!!! It actually started last week. We are so happy. Someone asked Bryton what we do on Sundays and he said "we go to church, watch motorcycles, and make cookies" What a great day. Anyways we are so excited, supercross is actually coming to Salt Lake this year. We got tickets with our good friends and cant wait to go. Go James Stewert!!!!!

I am so sad Christmas has come and gone. It was a great one for are whole family. Christmas Eve we first went to Adam's family's where Cliff and Casey made Prime Rib yummy. Then we went to my mom's and dads for the annual opening of Christmas Pj's and and reading the Christmas story and the Night before Christmas. The kids were all so excited. We came home and Bryton and Ashton went out and sprinkled the reindeer food for the reindeer all over the new snow and put the treats out for Santa and the carrots for the reindeer. I could not believe how fast they went to sleep. The next morning Both of our families came over it was so awesome having them all together to see the kids open their presents. We decided to start a new tradition this year. Before the kids go in and open their presents we sit down and say a prayer to start the morning off remembering the real reason for the season. It was nice to start the morning off this way. I thought Bryton may be in a hurry to go and see what Santa left but he actually was just fine. Then we spent the rest of the day eating and eating and putting legos together and playing with new toys and enjoying each other. I love Christmas.

Polar Express

We had the opportunity a few weeks to go on the Polar Express. It was such a great time. It will definitely be a new tradition. We went and ate at the home of the train before and the kids loved that. Cliff and Casey (Adam's brother and sister in law) were able to come up from Vernal which was nice because the boys were able to be all together to see the North Pole for the first time.

One of the very first things they did was hand out hot chocolate and cookies. They were all dressed as chefs just like in the movie. Bryton and Ashton loved singing "hot, hot, hot hot chocolate."

She did like Miss's Clause, and her bell.

Waiting at the train station. It was a such a fun night, and a great new tradition.

Christmas Fun

Christmas has officially arrived at our house. Last Saturday we went to see Santa Train. This started about four years ago and has been a tradition every since. We go to the train station in Provo and the kids get to see Santa and see inside of the train. Adam's dad was actually the one who received the first invite, and every year since they are so nice to call us back. Bryton loves it , Paige on the other hand not so much. She was so afraid of Santa. As you can tell by the picture. Bryton is so funny. When we were in Disneyland he would say "thats not really mickey mouse, right mom. Thats just a person dressed up like Mickey Mouse." He is such an observant little boy. He has to know just how everything works. We were watching the Thanksgiving day parade and when he saw Santa he was really worried that it was not him because his beard was not long enough. But Santa train had a very long beard and he was so glad to see that. The first thing that he said was " Mom look how long Santa's beard is." it was a great day.

Thanksgiving (better late then never)

Every year we attempt to go to both families for thanksgiving!! I know we are crazy.I guess we just like to see how much weight we can gain in one day. This year was no different. We start at the Asay's. This is a big family, all of Chris's family comes and also Greg's Dad and sisters. It's a lot of fun, Bryton loves playing with his cousins. Grandma Huff asks the kids every year to say what they are Thankful for before dinner, and this year for some reason Adam and I were considered children again. It was funny!! After the Asay's we go to my family's. So much smaller. We usually spend the rest of the night there eat again, and play games. I love that my kids have so many people in there lives that love and care for them. Our families our amazing. Greg and Chris invited my family over to Thanksgiving at there house, but my mom had to work that afternoon, so they were not able to go. But I love that they get along so well. I am so thankful for family!!!!
