We spent  Family Week at the Cabin with a TON OF SNOW, and absolute SUNSHINE it was so wonderful, one of the best weeks we have had up there, seriously so much snow!!!!!

UPDATES!!!!

Bradley has been playing the Guitar for about 3 years now and is really getting pretty good and he is developing a real love for it. Up until now he plays an electric guitar and Kent's guitar that he gave him (which was awesome but a little to big for his little arms to get around!!!! So for his birthday we got him( a week early!!!) his present "folk size" just a little smaller and not so wide acoustic guitar!!!! He loves it

ROCK BAND PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For Christmas this year the Major Rave was ROCK BAND (playstation Game with 2 Guitars, mike and Drums) so up to 4 people can play at a time SO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The kids had a blast and the "Boys" (AKA Men) had even more fun!!!! There was many of nights Rockin out till the weeeeeeeee hours of the morning, what a blast. Kent and Kristi invited us all over the Saturday Night before we all went back to work/school and we had Sushi, Wings, Nachos and Mexican Crunch Wraps Awesome a little Japanese mixed with some mexican it was so good and we all played Rock Band until our hearts were content!!!!!

New Years

All I have to say about New Years is NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All all I can say is that is was a MAJOR CRASH literally off the top of Castle Mountain it was UGLY!!!!!!! I am still in a Brace from my hip to my ankle and I am still on Crutches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wild Wynder's Christmas!!!!

We spent Christmas Eve with the Wynder's

Christmas 2007

We went to the Cabin on Friday Dec 22, we loaded everything up there for Christmas and New Years because Bradley and I didn't have to go back to School until Jan 7 so we had a lot to pack!!!!! On Saturday night my mom, dad, Brad and I did a quick trip home because Bradley was asked to sing in "The Spirit of Christmas" Carriage House Theater, it was mostly cast from Summer Theater so it was really fun to go and Bradley sang "When Christmas comes to Town" from the "Polar Express" he did an absolute awesome job, that is now my favorite song, his little voice was just perfect, we were sooooo proud of him and he was a big hit with all of the big kids from summer theater!!! We then made another quick trip home on Monday, Christmas Eve, to spend with the Wynder's. Then back to the cabin late Christmas Eve for Christmas and New Years with the Baird!!!! ( I love my husband he is a trooper, here then there then back again!! Especially on his only days off, the is driving, driving , and driving some more!! no rest for the wicked!!!

Annual Christmas Cookie Night

For the last 4 or 5 years the leavitt, Jasperson and Wynders get together at our house to Decorate & deliver Christmas cookies. The kids look forward to it each year and this year was no different, ICING AND SPRINKLES EVERYWHERE!!!! But they have a blast and we all get into the Christmas Spirit!!!! At the end of the evening we watch a movie of all the things the kids did together that year, Christmas, Easter, Snowboarding, Echo lake and tons of fun stuff.

"Family Ball Video 2007"

We thought it would be a good idea this year to have a "Family Ball Video Night" before Christmas. So that we could watch the "Family" Video Christmas Eve and then play games. So 2 Sundays before Christmas Eve we all got together to watch the Movie!!!
We had lots of Yummy Treats and lots of excitement and laughs!!!!

Remembrance Day

Our Scouts do a fundraiser every year, they put up flags on all the holidays at each house, it is really kind of cool to see all the flags each morning of the holidays, especially Remembrance Day, it is a special day for all of us, and we gladly take our turn every year on Remembrace Day to put up and take down flags in our ward. Justin had to work this year, so Brad and I were on our own in the morning but recruited Wyatt for the take down!!!!! It was a Beautiful morning with a glorious sun rise!!!! We were a little sad we have a little family tradition of putting up flags and then we go out for Breakfast as a little family, but without Justin, we just settled for Hot Chocolate and Dounuts ( Bradley and I experimented Sunday afternoon to see if we could master homemade dounuts, they turned out not so bad, but needing some improvement!!!!) Poor Justin we start the mess and he usally comes in the middle and ends up finishing and cleaning up!!! You got to love us, we always get wonderful ideas and end up way over our heads!!!) Yes back to Remembrace Day flags.... Brad and I managed to get them all up!!!! But as the day went on the wind decided to blow and it was aweful by the time we had to pick them up, thank goodness for Wyatt because Brad and I couldn't have done it alone..... The wind was whipping those flags around like you wouldn't believe and it was BITTER COLD!!! And poor Wyatt and Brad had to lay in the bed of the truck to hold the stupid flags in .... WHAT AN ADVENTURE, but you know little boys, they had a blast and thought it was awesome fun with TONS OF LAUGHTER!!!! They were giggleing like little girls...
To much fun!!!!

Halloween 2007

Brad had fun on Halloween, he dressed as a Rockin' Hot Cowboy for school. He decided this year to just have friends over and have a party. The went Air soft gun fighting for an hour or so, and then came back here for a Halloween supper of Quesidias and treats, Justin was the Quesida maker and Kent, Kristi and the kids came trick or treating and decided to stay for supper!! We had a fun visit and some good entertainment when Kent decided to try the air soft gun on Kristi at short range!!! Well you know Kristi, it turned into a full fledged air soft gun fight in my Kitchen!!!! The kids thought that was hilarious!!!! Good times had by all!!!!

The Flu!!!!!!!

Well a couple of weeks ago, on Sunday morning Justin woke up and said those famous words "I don't think I feel good" and BOOM!!!! The stomach flu!!!!!! He was down all day with it and Bradley and I stayed right away and I immediatley started washing everything, because Bradley will pick any infection up for sure!! Well about 6pm "Mom I don't feel very well" and away we went with Brad...... and it hit his poor little body brutally hard!!!! He just has absolutley no immune system. By about 9:30pm it was out of control and I took Brad to emergancy and Dr. Low started him on IV , gravol and something else to help with the nausea... by 11:00 they still couldn't get him to slow down, so they admitted him. So all night Sunday and by Monday they had the nausea under control but they wanted to keep on top of it and keep him hydrated so they kept him Monday and Tuesday. (Monday night in the Hospital, guess who else got the flu??? ME!!!!!!!! I felt like such a loser, but what do you do!!!! So I had to be on IV too!!! How embarrassing!!!!) So Tueday night we both got to go home.....But on the up side we are all better now and going for our flu shots this week! One wonderful thing came out of it though, we discovered Brad has some very awesome friends, He got letters, cards, candy grams, and a candy boquet. I swear half the junior high school signed one of the cards.... it was so awesome that he has friends that care for him so much!!!! Brad was a little embarrased to have the attention, but we just had to keep telling him that is what friends do for each other!!!!

Thanksgiving 07

We had a good thanksgiving weekend full of way to much food!!!! The kids had fun and it was a nice to have a break from work for Justin.... He still has not had any time off, maybe soon;0) He still is loving his job so thats good!
