Soccer

Bryce enjoying being outside.

Kaleb showing off his skills.

Jazelle was invited by her buddy Chase to join him in a free soccer class. We put Kaleb in the same class at the same age and she didn't do as good, but had so much fun anyway.

Mommy needs to teach this girl not to use her hands in soccer.

ELLEN!!!

I absolutely love the Ellen DeGeneres Show, awhile back (December) I went to her sight and requested tickets wanting to get into her 12 days of giveaways, like everyone else in the country. It is on a 1st come 1st serve basis, so when I saw "Tickets available" I jumped right on it. They called me about the date I had requested and said they had "stand by' tickets. So I gave it a try. I invited my good friend Gen Whitely. We stood in line and waited to see if we could get into the show, they only take a hand full of standby people, once again 1st come 1st serve. We weren't able to get into the live taping but got to sit in the "rift raft room" off to the side. Not so much fun, but Ellen did come back and stood at the top of the stairs to acknowledge us and waved! :) The plus side of this room is that you pick a date to come back again for a guaranteed audience seat!

3 months had passed and we got our guaranteed tickets! We were so excited, we had made friends with a mother and her daughter the 1st time we went, and met them again this time and sat with them.

Jason stayed home and watched the kids both times we went which I am truly grateful for.

We got in and they told us that we were taping Ellen's 1800th show! We knew we had to get a giveaway :)

They sat us and I was told to sit in the isle seat. I guess I looked good enough for the camera haha. I love to dance and Ellen's show you do a whole lot of it, seriously it was a workout. I was even called to go up in front and show my moves! (Before they started taping) I had the time of my life. They started taping and came dancing up to our isle and stopped right next to us. I am seen on TV for a few, and yes we got a giveaway, a flip camcorder!

8yr Anniversary

While also in Utah Jason and I celebrated our 8 yr Anniversary, and got to go out on a lovely date without the children. We made reservations to a fancy buffet restaurant downtown, called The Roof. We had been there once before and it was delicious. It had a beautiful view of the Salt Lake Temple.

SNOW!!

While in Utah it snowed! and pretty good :) Kaleb LOVED it. He practically ran outside to play in it. His cousin Landon joined him.

A few days later we all decided to go out to the local park and go sledding.

I was not prepared for the snow and had no appropriate clothes, so Bryce and I spent most of the time in the nice warm car.

Snow Angel :)

It looks like Kaleb threw a snow ball at Jazelle and she didn't like it very much.

Jungle Gyms

While in Utah for Christmas vacation we visited an indoor amusement park called Jungle Gyms, it was so much fun! The weather outside was cold and snowy, this was a great place to get away from being in the house.

Kaleb's favorite activity was the Bumper cars.

Daddy had to get on the action too even though he was 10 times too big.

I dreaded this ride. You could pull the lever up and down and the car would lift up and down while going in a circle. It seemed like the ride never was going to stop I felt dizzy the whole day.

Jazelle is a thrill seeker, she was the only one on these swings.

I just love how happy they are.

We played a giant version of Hungry Hungry Hippo! and I won.

Jazelle with her cousin Dallin

I think Nona regretted this ride. It was the kind that spun around so fast, then stopped and started to go backwards really fast. It was comical, Jazelle looked like she was going to fly out.
