A little about Christmas 2009

Christmas Highlights:

*Joey got Dec. 16th--Jan 4th off from work. (This is my favorite part! I love having him home!)

*Had fun giving out Christmas goodies to neighbors and friends.

*Kids picked out gifts for one another for the first time.

*Spent Christmas Eve with my family in Gilbert.

*Spent Christmas at our house.

Pictures:

(My youngest brother Josh.)

(Emily wearing a stocking on her head Christmas Eve.
She's a Christmas baby, it was just 5 days before she turned 3.)

(I helped my dad make pumpkin pies this year and I liked

spending time with him.)

(Christmas Eve dinner at my parent's house.)

(This picture made me laugh. I learned this year that my kids love candy canes. I also learned

that they can make a mess of ANYTHING they eat, including candy canes.)

The kids' Santa Loot. They must have been good this year :).

Quotes 2016

Clay was jumping from tile to tile in our kitchen, then kind of spinning on each tile, careful to stay within the square shape of each tile. I asked, "What are you doing?" and Clay responded, "I'm square dancing!"

Clay, said every time he prays: "Help us to be like the Gospel."

Clay, said another time he prayed for each person in our family that they could "do good" in either school or work when he got to me he said: "...Please bless mom that she can go to the gym." I guess that sticks out to him!

We were walking into Wells Fargo when Paige saw a man with shoulder length hair and a beard getting into his car. I was holding Paige and she grabbed my face and turns my head toward the man. Then she says, "Mom, there's Jesus!" (November 2016)

Paige: "I look like nursery!" She said this as she looked at herself in the mirror after I got her dressed for church and had just finished doing her hair. (March 2017)

"remembery" -Clay (Memory) October 2017

Joey, asking Paige: "Should I grow a prickly beard or shave and have soft cheeks?"

Paige, jumping up and down answers: "A sparkly beard!" (September 2017)

"Jew-zi-knee bread" - Paige (zucchini bread) (September 2017)

In school Miles was learning about the Great Depression. He was talking on and on about it to me and started talking about Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt. He was trying to tell me about the president known as FDR (Roosevelt) but instead he kept saying, "KFC" I couldn't figure out what he meant until he said, "You know, he was president after Hoover, everybody called him KFC". I had to explain he was actually known as FDR! (October 2017)
