New Year's Eve

For New Year's Eve we went down to St. George, Utah to vist Cody's brother Ryan and his wife Katie. We had so much fun just hanging out and relaxing. We played a lot of games and we got to eat at our favorite pizza place down there. The Pizza Factory has the best alfredo pizza and the best salad bar!!!

Christmas Fun

I love Christmas!!! We had such a wonderful Christmas this year. We had a party at our house with some couples from our ward. We decided to have a pizza party and have a white elephant gift exchange where each couple was suppose to bring an old wedding gift that they never used or opened. There were some pretty good gifts that showed up. That party was a blast. We celebrated Christmas with Cody's family the sunday before christmas. It was a ton of fun and we had an amazing dinner. Cody's dad is an amazing chef!!! For Christmas Eve we went to dinner at Aunt Liane's house for our traditional strawberry waffle dinner and our christmas eve program. Cody and I sang Jingle bells in Chinese. He did a really good job and I just attempted. For christmas we had breakfast at my parents and just enjoyed the day with the family. I love Christmas time. We had a wonderful christmas.!!! Cody decorated the tree all by himself. I think he did a pretty good job.

Christmas Tree Hunting

This was our third annual christmas tree hunting since we have been married. It was so cold this year and there wasn't any snow to tromp around in. It was so fun but it was way too cold for me. After we found our tree I took the kids back to the warm car until everyone else found their trees. Cody getting ready to cut down our Christmas tree. he loves using the chain saw.

Cody and Simon sharing a cookie in the nice warm car. It was freezing that day!!!

After Christmas Tree hunting we had our little photographer(annacy) take a picture of the group. She sure does come in handy when we need a photographer. She is pretty good at it too!!!

Boys And Their Guns

It is a Thanksgiving tradition that all the men go shooting in the mountains while the women stay at home to cook the good Thanksgiving meal. What a deal Right???? I don't know but it is a fun tradition. I usually go with them to skip out on the cooking part.

Cody Loves Going shooting!!! He is a pretty good shot

I don't even know what Kind of gun this was. Cody just thought it was a cool gun and wanted to take a picture of me holding it. Wow!!! It was pretty cool.

Bowling Competition

So we went bowling last weekend with some of our friends. We had a blast!!! We, of course, made it a competition between the guys and the girls. Whoever won had to be the ones to plan a well thought out fun date. Of course the guys kicked the girls butts!!!! I think that Cody thought he was in a competition to see who could throw it the hardest and the fastest every time. He definitely would have won that competition!! :)

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!!!!!This Halloween was so much fun. We first went trick-or-treating with the kids around our neighborhood and then we went over to Chris and Chanikas. They had decorated the outside of their house, which was so cool!!! They had dry ice fog and had classic Michael Jackson's Thriller playing. It was so fun. We all decorated cookies and played some games and danced. Chris and I were the only ones that would dance with the kids. We had a blast doing it though!!!

Little Maxxwell's First Halloween!!! He is 2 and a half weeks old. He is so precious and sweet!!!

Simon Challenged Cody to a game of connect four. I don't know who won, but I heard it was a good game!!!

Monica and Chanika!!! Chris and Chanika are Foster parents to Monica. She is such a sweet girl and we all think she is so great!!! If it weren't for Monica our Halloween wouldn't have been so much fun. It was because of her that we made cookies and decorated Chris and Chanika's house. Monica Loves Halloween so she wanted to make it a fun one!! Thanks Monica!!!

Decorating halloween cookies!!!

Annacy was a duck for Halloween!!! She was a cute duck!!!

Amber, Cody, and Wyatt!

What a cute Group. We had a rooster, a bear, a duck, and a cute cute baby for Halloween.

The kids loved to answer the door for the trick-or-treaters

Cute Mommys!!

The kids all played connect four. They played so well together.

Cody didn't dress up. He just got off work and went straight to Chris and Chanikas. I guess he dressed up as a banker.
