I just downloaded my pictures and I had over 100, only from about a period of 3 weeks! Christmas took up most of them, and I should have blogged but oh well. The time after Christmas has had a lot of activities. Bryce is home until the 5th, so we have been trying to accomplish little things before the baby comes, in 3 weeks! Yeah!
The day after Christmas we were blessed with a family visit from Bryce's brother Richard and his wife Courtney and yes their darling girls, Afton and Madelyn. They arrived in the evening and stayed with us for the night. They were headed to visit Bryce's family in Ogden and due to possible pregnancy complications and a note from my doctor telling me I was not allowed to go farther then an hour from home, we were unable to join them. We had fun for the time they were here. Brady loves Afton and they had quite the slumber party in Brady's bunkbed, playing "Peek-a-boo." Thanks for stopping by, it was so good to see your darling family and good luck with your pregnancy, we shall see which baby will arrive first!
Our visitors, without Madelyn, she was sleeping.
Once Richard and Courtney were on the road, Brady kept asking to go on a walk, since it was a beautiful day and Santa brought him a bike and he had not yet ridden it. So we went on a walk and while we were gone, I suppose the sky opened up just on our front lawn and snowed! Well, some friends had a truck full of snow from Mt. Charleston and decided to bless Brady with it. We had a fun time playing and our neighbor friends, Myra and Myles decided to come play too. It was fun for the kids. Leilani just liked eating it!
Brady, "king of the snow!"
Myra, getting a good shot at Brady!

I thought this was cute, so I had to put it in.

On to our work. Bryce has been wanting to cut down the top of our big tree for awhile. We get some good winds during storms and he has been afraid of it coming down. Our neighbors the Hatch's were able to come and help. Once they got up there, there was a lot more rotted out branches then we thought. We don't want to lose the whole tree, since it is the best shade tree, especially during our hot summers.
Brady trying so hard to help!
Brady still helping, with our neighbor Jolene.
Here is our tree, all trimmed up. On the bottom right of the picture, you may notice a bent up fence. One of the huge branches that was trimmed, landed on the fence and will soon be fixed.
And of course, Happy New Year's! I had an adorble video of the kids playing with their poppers and saying "Happy New Year," but for some reason it won't download. I don't have the best luck with videos. We wish you all a wonderful New Year and hope it will be better or as good as the last. May we continue our holiday spirit all year long and focus on the Savior and all that he does for us! We love you and wish you the best.
