What We've Been Up To - Part 1

I'm being VERY quiet, trying not to wake up the baby sleeping in my living room. (I've been lucky enough to babysit a two month old the last few days!) I thought I'd blog, since some people claim to be interested in what our little family is up to. :)

Right now we're in full-on sports mode. The boys and I are at swimming, soccer or gymnastics every night M-F. I cook in the afternoon for people to eat whenever they roll in the door! Saturdays we spend at the soccer park, Sundays are church and then we start all over!

So. Christmas is a big event, let's start there.

For the first time since we bought this house we were actually here for Christmas morning. We missed the craziness of family but enjoyed waking up in our own beds!

We took the boys shopping individually to buy for each other. They ended up buying the EXACT same gift for each other. (There are Nerf darts in every corner of our house!)

Alex's loot.

And Jason's loot. It was a Lego Christmas at our house!

The day after Christmas the boys and I packed up and drove to Canada. Brian conveniently had to work, so my plan to get a bunch of reading done fell through! Luckily we stopped half way in Idaho and forced Jared to follow us. It was an easy trip, just long and COLD.

The boys were excited to get to Grandma & Grandpa's. More presents! (I think they opened presents at least three separate times this Christmas!)

We left my parent's house and moved to the big city of Lethbridge. Our hotel was awesome - the boys spent as much time as possible in the water park there!

Aw! Aren't they cute? Brett (my little brother) married AJ in the freezing cold Alberta winter.

The reception was at a carriage house in Cardston. The boys and I took the tour - it was interesting!

Can't leave your car over night or it will freeze and die, and you'll be stranded in a country with no road signs!

Proof that we had finally arrived back in the US of A. This sign is at a gas station in MT. I made Jared take his rifle back to the car.

There! That concludes 2009. I'll be back eventually with news from 2010!
