Christmas 2008

Dad and Mom holding Ty Tenney. Dad was teasing Mom about his PJ's being too big.



Ron and Rhonda Smith Family...everybody except Brittney's 2 youngest, Talon and Peyton.


Christmas Eve we went to the Pioneer Park Church and had Green Chili. Brett helped his dad Doug Brewer make Green Chili...Yummy! We have been doing this for 4 or 5 years now. (green chili on Christmas Eve with the Brewer Family) I love this tradition and hope we do it forever. It was hard not having Charlayne there with us. I know it was not an easy Christmas for the Brewer family and my heart went out to all of them. We love them so much and they will continue to be in our prayers!

We went to my parents home after dinner and had a Christmas program and then a testimony meeting. It was a good meeting. I'm grateful for the spirit of love that was present. I'm blessed to be apart of such a great family. I love each one of the dearly.

The kids loved opening their presents and were happy with what they got. Christmas was a success and I'm grateful it's over. :)

Decorating the Tree

My husband got home from NM last weekend and decided it was time to get out the Christmas tree.  It wasn't the first thing I wanted to do when he got home (I was hoping for a shower and a break) but I knew he was right and the girls loved it.  We only did the top of the tree instead of the full 6 foot tall tree.  We only have so much time and Doug had to leave for his meeting.  I love this picture of Doug and the girls.  I'm grateful for my husband for pushing me to do things even when I don't feel like it. 

 

 

The way Alise is looking at Doug is so cute.

 

 

Chloe's has a beautiful smile.  It's contagious

 

Chloe's not much help decorating.

Random Pictures

I was downloading the pictures on my camera and came across these pictures that Doug took.  He is such a good Dad.  Our girls love him to death.  I love the pictures of Brynn feeding Chloe.  Of course Doug has them on top of the table doing it...the most dangerous place. hehe  Then the girls watching their morning cartoons...followed by a picture of Brynn and Leesee's "beautiful castles" made with blocks and books.  My girls are such good friends.  I hope they stay that way!

Some of the many reasons I love Doug...he doesn't worry about the small stuff and is always involving our girls in what he is doing. I wish I were as good at that as he is.  I love the way he loves our girls and the time he spends with them. 

  

I love the foot kicking Alise in the face.  Too funny! 

This is Doug's idea of feeding Chloe a bottle.  lol  The girls love to do it but I don't know how much Chloe actually gets in her belly.  I started to wean her last weekend.  I've decided I would like my body back and my hormones to go back to normal.  Under our current living circumstances I think this is best for all involved.  lol  I nursed Brynn for 6 months, Alise for 9 and Chloe 8 months.  It's as good as you're going to get Chloe.  :)

Thanksgiving 2008

This year we stayed in Snowflake and had dinner at my mom's. Everybody but Valee and Dustin (they live in TX and should be here for Christmas yay!) were there. It was yummy food and we enjoyed seeing everybody. We always have many things to be grateful for...especially this time of year. I'm grateful to my Heavenly Father that has blessed me with so much...I try to live worthy of everything He has blessed me with. Happy Holidays!

Halloween 2008

A cowgirl, a baby with a boo shirt on and a cat.  I know I'm a little behind but I say better late than never.  :)

Alise's new hair

 

I think this is a face of a satisfied customer!

 

My friend Mimi Connolly and I were hanging out and bored.  We had our 50 girls running around us...ok 7 not 50....close enough!  I looked at Lise ....

 

 

BEFORE.........

 

 

and said....Let's cut her hair!  Mimi was so excited, she said she was just waiting for me to ask for months.  Poor Lisee has the thinnest stringy hair.  I think Mimi did a good job. 

 

She's open for business!  243-4435  She'll be so happy I put that on my blog.  :)     lol     This is a picture of Mimi. 

Soccer

Brynn's first year of soccer was a success despite many collisions with others.  A few tears and assurance she was ok.  It was so much fun to watch her play.  She was usually the smallest but just as aggressive as any of them. 

 

My cousin Lyndsay Lyman was Brynn's coach and did such a good job.  Brynn loved being on Colby and Ellie's team....they were in preschool together so they already knew each other well.

Look at that tuff athlete face!  :)
