Our fun activities during Christmas vacation

We went swimming with the Stoddard family to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. There is a nice indoor swimming pool. We all went up and swam for a couple of hours and had a good time. I'm sure glad I have a towel with me, sorry Jon. Oh this is Greg's brother Jon, his wife; Bonnie and their daughter Alyn.

Go Connor, he's getting ready to jump of the the diving board.

Jaylynn, Ciera and Cort going up to take another turn on the slide. It was a lot of fun. I think that might be Angie in the background.

This is us on Christmas day at the Stoddard's playing games. It was fun to go and spend time with Greg's family.

Playing games again, doesn't Grandpa(Deverl) look like he is having fun. Actually he wasn't playng, he was just watching and fell asleep.

Christmas 2009

The kids enjoying Christmas morning and looking at what Santa brought.

Ciera and I on Christmas morning, sorry the picture is not that great. We got a new camera and we were trying it out.

Cade and Cort showing us a few of their new transformer and the "silver" sword. Cort told Santa it had to be a silver sword, not gray.

Connor and me on Christmas Eve. We drew names in our family this year and we opened the gifts from each other on Christmas Eve, maybe this will be one of our new traditions. We are also getting ready to watch a movie.

Thanksgiving and Jazz game

This picture goes with the Thanksgiving ones, I bet you can't guess what Tammy, not me just did. I won't say it, but I'm sure you can tell by my gestures.....mmm it smells in here!!!!

All of us at the Jazz game, we went on December 4. The kids has a good time and all the boys wore their Jazz shirts. They looked so cute!!! Go Jazz!!!

We stopped by Temple square before the Jazz game. It was too cold outside to see the lights, so we went inside a building and looked from up there. It was really pretty. For those who are interested, this picture here might be the only Christmas card you recieve from us-enjoy!!!

Halloween and Helping Mom

This is the kids out front before heading off to our trunk-r-treat at the church. Ciera was dressed as a pajama girl, Cort was the incredible Hulk and Cade was a football player. Connor, as you can see is too old to dress up.

Cade, Cort and me before we heading to the school carnival on October 30. We go every year and I'm not sure we are going next year. I think we better come up with something better to do on the night of the carnival. But, I think Cade and Cort enjoyed it and had fun... I guess that is what matters!

I was vacumning the other day and I turned it off for a second, when I came back Cort had my sunglasses on and was vacuming for me. I hurried and got my camera and took a few shots. I thought he looked so darn cute, I couldn't resist. I will show him when he is older, that he really liked helping arount the house.

These are more pictures of the straw maze we went to. They had a small maze for little kids, this is the kids going through with their light up swords Larry bought for them. There is Ciera in the purple coat and her friend in the brown coat.

Inside the big maze, going through the first time, we stopped and took a photo.

Tyler really like the trampoline and took time out for a quick picture.

Cort and Tyler finally getting to play in the leaf pile they gathered. Go boys go!!!!!

It was a good visit with Larry and the boys, we are really glad they came to see us!!!

Larry came to visit us this past week. As you can see I accidentally put on the same picture...ooops! We all went to the Rexburg Straw maze on Friday night and it was a lot of fun. It was a little harder than we expected, the kids got away from us and Ian, Tyler and Cade did quite well at getting from the entrance to the exit. Cort was good to follow, but I think he thought he was lost and when he came out and saw Greg and I he started to cry, he is alright and all is well. We had a good time and then we came back to our house for pizza and more fun.

This is Cade and Ian playing ourtside in our backyard. Ciera took these pictures of the kids. I think they had a great time in Idaho; playing, jumping, leaf piling, riding the 4-wheeler, playing basketball and of course playing the Wii.

Cort and Tyler just waiting for a quick pictue, so they can play in the leaves.

All the boys posing for a nice photo in our backyard.
