CHRISTMAS

DeNovellis party (Booth's moms side)



We had a great Christmas this year. The kids were spoiled as usual. They were really excited for Santa to come. The boys got Thomas bikes, helmets, elbow and knee pads, bumblebee (the transformer) trains, books, movies and pajamas from Santa, and Livie got a chicken dance Elmo,V-tech learning book, clothes, a Elmo camera, a movie and books. They got lots of other awesome things from everyone else, too much to name it all. The only thing they got from us was a coat and snow suits. Pretty boring, but as you can tell both our parents and grandparents get them plenty of good stuff! Booth got tools and some movies from me and I got my playstation and Guitar Hero 3 a while ago. Still LOVE it!!! We celebrated with Booth's side of the family on the 15th, it was an all day activity, we had lots of fun. Then again with Booth's dads side on the 23rd, and again on the 24th at my moms, but I had to work, and then again 2 more parties at my grandmas and at Booth's grandma D's on Christmas. We kept really busy. I gained my holiday weight, I am not happy about that. The kids haven't been to school since Dec. 12th, I am really looking forward to taking them back on Jan. 7th.

We are excited to start a new year, each year they get better. We are grateful for all of our friends and family for all of your love and support, we love you and wish you a Happy New Year!!

Livie turns 2

Livie's birthday was on the 23rd. We celebrated on Thanksgiving and on the 25th. She had a great birthday. The first party on Thanksgiving was at my moms house. She got lots of good gifts. And on the 25th we celebrated at our house with Booth's side. She got lots more great gifts. She is getting so big and getting to be such a character. She is always pulling funny faces and showing off and dancing around. It is so much fun to watch her. I am just sad that my baby is two. And I am not sad that I am not pregnant again, usually I have had another baby by now.... thanks goodness!

The boys are doing well, they are growing up so much. Boston will be in kindergarten next year, that will be a big adventure, for both of us. Wes is really liking preschool, although he got in trouble for choking! Scary!! I gave them both haircuts about a week and a half ago, they are funny. I am not so good at it, they dont seem to mind though.

They are both excited about the snow, Boston said "mom it's snowing, it's Christmas now, where are the presents?" I am excited for the holidays, I enjoy being with our families and the good food. I recieved my Christmas present early. When I went to Park City with my friends, Katie took her PS2 and the game Guitar Hero. Well... I got addicted and I got a PS2 and Guitar Hero 3! We have been having a lot of fun playing it.

The pictures are of Livie's birthday parties and of the boys and their haircuts and as they say their shark boy faces.

HALLOWEEN

We had a fun Halloween this year. The boys were excited to get candy. We only went to a few homes in our neighborhood (all old people, they were so excited) since we had a lot of places to go. Livie did a good job once she got to the door, she had a hard time keeping up. The boys have a hard time ringing the doorbells only once, I think some people got angry, oh well. We went to grandma and grandpa Jenson's and they gave the kids a cup full of candy and then to g & g A's (that's what the kids call them). My mom has made chili on Halloween since I can remember. Olivia was a hobo clown, Wes was a shark and Bos was a pirate (what we could get him to wear at least). I pinned him down to draw a mustache on him and he cried and ran away. When he came back it was gone and his sleeve was all black. He doesn't like the attention. I am sure as they get older it will be more fun.

FRIENDS

I have had so many great friends over the years. I wanted to share some pictures with you. I have too many to share them all, so I am sorry if you were not included, your still a dear friend. I was going through my memory box and found some fun ones. I hope you enjoy them. Sorry the pictures didn't turn out so well I am not very computer savvy. Hopefully you can still see what they are.

The only reason I thought of doing this is because my friend Erica posted a blog with some fun, and embarrassing pictures of me, so it's pay back time Erica!!

The elementary pictures are of my friends Erica, Sara and Danie. We were a tight group the 6 of us, also including Missy and Alissa. We had such fun times, toilet papering, voodoo, peacer peacer club, jump team, all of the goofy things you do in elementary. We have been friends since 3rd grade. I see Danie still, quite often since she was on drill team with me, Sara, I don't see as often as I would like since she lives up north. We still keep in touch though. And recently I got back in touch with Erica. She moved to Malad, Idaho in junior high. We have been e-mailing back and forth. Although we haven't spoke for years, we got right back on track, like she never moved away. I hope they cherish all of the fun memories like I do.

The other pictures are of the girls I was on drill team with. We still get together at least twice a year, sometimes more. We go to Park City together every November and stay overnight. We shop, hang out, and go out to eat. It is always a blast and I think we all look forward to it every year. We act even worse than we did in high school, it's a blast. We are going again in 2 weeks for a whole weekend. I can't wait!!!!

We all had pretty close friendship's since we were together 24/7. Those were some wild and crazy times!! There were a group of us that would sluff class and go to Arby's, we called ourselves the Arby's crew. I loved being on drill and the best thing I got out of it were some awesome friends. There are a couple pictures of me and Cindy. There are so many pictures that I have of just me and her. We were so funny!! She was my best friend and still is. I love her and I hope she knows that. There is a great picture of T'ann in the car on the way home from our drill team retreat, I think you all know the funny story BEHIND it!!HA!!

Anyway, I am so thankful to have such great friends.I hope we can all stay friends for years to come. Not only my friends who are in the pictures, but all of them. I really enjoy looking back and seeing how much fun we all had. Thanks for everything.

I love you all!

THE PICTURES UP TOP ARE FROM YELLOWSTONE 2 WEEKS AGO. (THE DATES ARE WRONG ON THE PICTURES) WE WENT WITH OUR FRIENDS CINDY AND ROBB AND SOME OF THEIR FRIENDS. WE DIDN'T TAKE LIVIE, JUST THE BOYS.WE HAD A FUN TIME. WE VISITED OLD FAITHFUL, THE BEAR AND WOLF DISCOVERY CENTER, SAW LOTS OF HOT POTS, AND DROVE AROUND THE PARK. I DON'T THINK I HAVE BEEN BEFORE, THAT I CAN REMEMBER, BOOTH HAS BUT IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME. THE KIDS ENJOYED THE ANIMALS AND PLAYING WITH ALL OF THE GIRLS. WE STAYED AT ROBB'S FAMILY CABIN. IT WAS REALLY NICE. WE ONLY STAYED FRI, SAT AND CAME HOME SUNDAY. IT SNOWED MOST OF THE TIME WE WERE THERE, IT WAS PRETTY COLD. WE WOULD LIKE TO GO AGAIN. CINDY-- I HOPE YOU LIKE THE BEAR PIC. I DO!!

WE ARE EXCITED IT IS FALL. WE PICKED OUT THE KIDS HALLOWEEN COSTUMES YESTERDAY. WESTON IS A SHARK, OLIVIA IS A HOBO CLOWN AND BOSTON HATES DRESSING UP SO I DONT KNOW IF HE WILL BE ANYTHING AT ALL. I TRIED TO COAX AND BRIBE HIM BUT IT HASN'T WORKED YET.

I AM GETTING EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS. I LOVE TO SET UP THE TREE, ALWAYS THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING, WHICH THANKSGIVING DOESNT REALLY EXIST ANYMORE, WE SKIP IT AND GO STRAIGHT TO X-MAS? HAVE YOU NOTICED?

THE KIDS HAVE BEEN EXCITED FOR SANTA TO COME SINCE-- PROBABLY THE DAY AFTER LAST X-MAS. IT IS HARD TO EXPLAIN TIME TO KIDS, THEY JUST DON'T GET IT YET SO IT IS QUESTION AFTER QUESTION.

WELL, I WILL TRY TO POST THINGS WHEN I CAN. HOPE EVERYONE IS WELL.
