Nativity



This year on Christmas Eve, Bleaks came over and we acted out the nativity scene. Tyler read for us, Alexa was Mary, Cody was Joseph, Irish was the angel, Mason was a Shepard . Emma is a sheep and I played the wise man but Tyler jumped in for the picture. Oh yea, Mojo is the donkey. LOL.

Snow fun

So....We got a bunch of snow this week. Yay! We have had lots of fun playing in it. We took the 4wheelers over to Bleaks field and pulled an old truck bed liner as a sled. It was super fun!

Red hills










































Over Thanksgiving, we showed my newest brother and family, one of my favorite places on earth. The Dixie red hills. Since I was a kid, I have been coming here to what we called, "the narrows". This time I got to do some climbing. This was an unplanned climb so I am in tight jeans and barefoot...not the best climbing attire. Nonetheless, it was great. We hiked around and Tyler even gave me a piggy back. I can't believe my widdle baby tywer is strong enough to hold me!

Recycled quilt




Here is my latest project. I am making a quilt out of recycled materials. There are basically three parts to the quilt...one is old jeans that my kids have worn out, second is scraps from different sewing projects I've made over the years (for example: a quilt Ken and I made tyler, costumes I've made for the kids) and third, drawings and hand prints from when they were all small. It will be a treasure! I am taking an Enviromental science class and we've talked a lot about waste and recycling and I've been meaning to do this for years so it is a great Final for the class :)

Snow!



We finally got some snow! Yay! Cody and Alexa made a tiny snowman. (it's in Cody's hand) and alexa decides she doesn't like the snow and gets dressed up super warm. Cody and I had to hide our snickers when she came out dressed like this. lol. What a goof.
