Christmas Day

This year for Christmas Matthew got a new stereo for his car (no cassette player anymore) Kary spent 3 hours installing it while Matthew supervised. Matthew drove us to grandma's house so he could show us how well his stereo works.

Tyler got new boots, and a touch MP3 player. Both boys are lovin' life! As for me- my favorite part of Christmas day was Craig's phone call. He's doing GEAT.

Christmas Lights

This year Tyler put up all the lights at our house by himself. He said he was going to do things "his way"

I think he used more lights thn we ever have in the past. I kept expecting him to run out of lights.

The neighbors said it was like living next to the Vegas strip.

I am just glad Tyler has such a great time every Christmas!

Kamree's Baptism

We had a great weekend in Monticello. Kamree was baptized down in blanding Saturday morning, then we went back to Monticello and cooked a huge turkey dinner.

FUN!!

the young men and young women in our ward decided to do something fun for their activity for the end of the summer. All 6 groups had to build a boat, it could be made out of anything you wanted as long as it only cost $35.00. All the boats were made (Kary's group- the teachers- built a 12 foot long, 4 foot high, pirate ship) the whole group headed out to Quail Resevoir to have a race and see who would float. Tyler's group tied a matress to some big foam blocks, and Matthew's group took a large sheet of plywood, cut two holes in the middle, put buckets in to sit in, then put big round pipes under the edges. It was an interesting sight when all the boats got to the water. Matthew helped build his boat, but he had football practice while the activity was going on so- Craig took his place on the boat. To make a long story short, the priests (Matthew's boat) won the race, Deacon's got second, then the girls after them. The pirate ship- it sank. But not before the boys had time to bomb the other ships with water balloons. All of the kids had fun.
