Our new Place
This is the outside view of our house.
This is the mountain, yes mountain view right outside our front door. we love it.
This is the cul-de-sac view in front of our place.
Here are some pictures of our new house. The first two pics is our downstairs which is our family room and office. Then the kitchen. The second row is our front room/play room. The front door and the stairs going upstairs to the bedrooms. The front room and kitchen is on the main level we call it. The 3rd row of pictures is our basement. This is storage/my office and the kids craft/play place. The last picture is a crawl place for more storage. its about 4' tall inside, but perfect for seasonal storage. We have been loving it so far. The ward has been great and friendly and the neighborhood is quiet and its in a cul-de-sac. great for the kids.
Watching the snow fall down
Our whole family has enjoyed the snow this year! Its been so fun to play in. The other day I caught the kids sitting in front of the window watching the snow come down. I got the picture just in time, because that moment didn't last very long.
Valentines Dinner
Every year The Thompsons have a Chinese dinner for Valentines. So we kept the tradition going and ate yummy Egg rolls and Chicken fried rice. Everything was so good, we all didnt' want to stop eating! The kids favorite part was after dinner when we brought out the chocolate covered strawberries for dessert.
March Fo{u}rth Party
Every March 4th we get together with family in person, phone, or via email to talk about our goals form the previous year and to set new ones for the upcoming year. This year we got together with the Thompsons and Julie, Cody and Garrett. We all had yummy sub sandwiches, chips, potatoe salad, and pink lemonade. Cody led the march with his trumpet and all the rest of us followed him around the house. As you can see Ava's picture she did not like what we were doing. She didn't move from the couch the whole time and had that worried look like " what are you guys doing?" After the marching we sat down and talked about how we did on our goals from 2008 and we all came up with some good ones for 2009.
We all vote for two adults winners and two kid winners each year to win the "Golden Boot Award" Congratulations to Tara, Liz, Cody and Spencer. Everyone did an awesome job this year and it looks like we have some good cometition for this year too. Happy March!

We had a family party this year. I think we will do the "friends" party every other year. Its a little crazy with Corbin and Alyssa and Christmas all back to back. She did have a play date with one of her good friends in the morning and then got to invite a friend from school for cake that night. So she got to celebrate her birthday all day long!! She decorated the cake with her and Addy's Littlest Pet Shop animals and put the candle on all by herself. She thought it was fun to do it by herself. Alyssa got some fun presents from her fabulous friends and cousins..(cash register;because they are always playing store, books, wikiti sticks (bendaroos), & a pet shop stuffed animal she can play with online and take care of it, she loves that part. We played a little rockband while the girls played and did their thing.

Temple Square Lights
This was my first year to see Temple Square all lit up for christmas. We met up with Brads sister Julie and her two boys Friday night. It was so amazing to see everything lit up. Each branch was wrapped with lights, The Nativity was so neat to hear the story over a loud speaker, and most of all to see the Salt Lake Temple lit up in the middle of it all. Our kids didn't have the best time, because we were still used to Arizona weather, and they have never worn such big coats before. They were cold the whole time. So we didn't stay too long, but long enough to take it all in. We still have next year of course!!
A What for Christmas!!!
Yes Alyssa got a sewing machine for Christmas from her Grandma. Her first project was a pillow for Ava's doll. She was so proud of herself. She loves to be crafty just like her mom and Grandma.
Cute Girls
My mom made these cute outfits for the girls for Christmas. She bought them matching boots and made them purses to match. She made one for Ava too, but of course she was taking a nap at the time of pictures!! Thanks mom, you are so good and the girls love them.
Makayla and Alyssa
Wii Fun
Whats a family function anymore without some Wii action. We had a bowling tornament and a race car tornment. Some of us stayed up later and continued playing with the Wii Fit. It is so much fun. We had a lot of fun making characters for everyone in the family and to see us talking to each other in the courtyard. Good call getting the Wii mom and dad. Next on your list....RockBand!!!
Chocolate Roll
This is for you Peggy. Every Christmas my mother in law makes this yummy dessert called a chocolate roll. Well its Brads favorite so I attempted to make it for him this Christmas to help him feel closer with his side and his traditions. Well my first attempt was a success. We made two log rolls and they were eaten up by the next day. A special thanks goes to my assistant chefs in the kitchen; Brad, Ellen, & Cassidy. I couldn't have done it without you!!! It was a lot of fun cooking with you guys on Christmas Day. Mom you did a wonderful Turkey too. yum yum.
