Why do we take kids shopping??


Mom, Molly, Jack, and I went to get a few grocery items one night. This is how it turned out. Molly is as crazy and care free as my brother James. You never know what your getting yourself into if they are around. Jack had tons of fun with Molly riding with him through the entire store. Thanks mom for pushing them! Lots of laughs and funny comments. Molly's legs were very tired by the end. She was able to get out easier than I had pictured! THANKS Aunt Molly fort the great memories you made with me and for all the fun times. We miss you tons.

Wow What a holiday . . . .



The holidays were busy at our house this year. Briann(Jeff's Sister) and her family came on December 20. Baby Leah was tons of fun to have around. Jack just loved the "baby". He now wants to be the "baby" at our house. We had a busy week of visiting and last minute christmas shopping and family time.

On December 26 my mom and molly flew into town and that was fun. There plane was late because of weather in Utah and we arrived to my house at 2 am on Saturday. My mom was so surprised to find her ticket in the Christmas Stocking. Way to go dad for a great christmas present. I am just glad to not be holding that secret in any longer!!

Saturday the 27th was Dan and Nichole's reception. Jeff's brother married Nichole the first part of December. It was a nice reception with the best food ever. They are great at cooking homemade mexican rice, beans, totillas, and barbacoa. It was to die for yummy. Got some great family pics for the Barnum side.
Shaun and Briann left the following day. Mom stayed unitl New Years Eve and then flew home. Molly got to stay until Friday which was fun, and relaxing. We just played the Wii. (Jeffs christmas present) and were lazy. We had to drive to Wickenburg, AZ to meet molly's ride back to college. She wasn't happy about the snow waiting for her in Cedar City, but hey someone's got to love it! We had a great time with lots of family, friends, and presents. We got a new camera, which I don't know how to hook up to the computer so hopefully Jeff can show me how soon so we can share lots more pics.

Looking forward to a great new year full of excitement. Hopefully time will take a breath and not go by as fast as 2008 did. We are grateful for our family and how healthy and happy we all are. Hope you all had a great Holiday Season. Thanks to all of our Family who visited. We sure enjoyed the time with you. Hope to see you all again really soon.
