MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Singing Christmas Carols....

Last night for Family Home Evening Jason took us to the Energy Solutions Arena to sing Christmas Carols to the troops in Iraq. It was such a wonderful experience. Our good friends the Broschinsky's met us there. Raydin and Karlee sure had a great time together. IT was a free event sponsored by Larry H. Miller. I was upset about all the problems we have been having with our van I wasn't in the mood to go but the spirit was so strong I couldn't hold back some emotion. What a sacrifice our troops and their families are making. I couldn't imagine being back here at home taking care of three little ones by myself and then be without him at Christmas. I forgot the camera and I didn't even think to bring it since Jason didn't tell me what we were doing until we were already on our way. It was a surprise for the rest of us. It was a wonderful night and they have been doing it for about 14 years, I think is what they said. Next Year if you get a chance to go and sing Christmas Carols I suggest you do, what a wonderful way to feel the Christmas Spirit.

Mommy, I lost my first tooth...

Can this be happening, he isn't old enough for this to happen right? Wow, I can't believe how the time has flown by and that my first has lost his first tooth. He lost it in the middle of the night, when he got up to use the boy's room. I couldn't believe it, he did it all by himself. I remember losing teeth as a terrifying experience for me. The only thing that has bothered him about it was when I took his picture he was afraid he wouldn't look good. I told him he would look great, and yes he does. He is so proud of it and held his lip down to make sure everyone could see it. Jayde had to show her teeth too. If one is doing it the others want to join in too, isn't that the case??? Yeah, now the tooth fairy can come!!!!
