MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

We hope you all had a merry Christmas with happy memories and loving moments!!! We had a great Christmas and it was one of my favorite. The boy's had a great time and really could not wait for it to get here. It keeps getting more and more fun with each year that the boys get older, I truly enjoy my kids being the ages that they are now. Here are a few photos of our Christmas morning.....

Molly knows what presents are hers.

Gage got the DS he has been asking for.

Garrett leaves no time for opening a box....he rips right through it!

Gage watches as Garrett attempts to open the gift that he wrapped for him - Good job Gage....How many rolls of tape did that take??? Oh well at least he was not going to be able to peek in that one :)


Dad and Garrett love the new jumbo remote.

Garrett loved his new Quicksilver jacket, he needed one so bad. He wore the last one with a broken zipper and the thumb oles where tore and tied back together :) He is a little hard on his clothes to say the least!!!


Matt got Gage and himself new Boston hat's and Gage absolutely LOVES his.

We started off the morning opening gifts an then had a breakfast casserole with Robbie and Bonnie (Matt's parents) and his sister Andie and her two kids. We ate and then attacked the Wii! We got the wii fit and three new games so we had a lot of breaking into do. We had a great laugh at watching everyone take there turns to try to get the best score. I would have to say that I am pretty competitive :) I love that thing!!! Shortly after that we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Larsen's to sit and chat for a bit. We then went over to Robbie and Bonnie's for Christmas Dinner - YUMMY!!! We also played Snorta for a few hours and I know that is why my stomach muscles are so sore!!! I have never laughed so hard in my life. If you have never played it then you need to it is so much fun!!! We hope you and all of you loved ones had a great day. I know that I am very thankful for family and friends, I love them all so much. Thanks to all of you that are a part of our lives...WE LOVE YOU!!!

Happy 11th Birthday Gage

How crazy is it that my kid is 11!!! How is this possible? It feels like yesterday when he would ask for his BG (blanket) and want me to rock him to sleep! I love so much about this boy and I am so lucky to have him as my son. We went to Nickelcade with some friends and went to Chilli's with the family and Grandma and Grandpa Robbie. Gage ate a full plate of ribs and was still hungry...why is that no longer surprising to me??? He is now the same height as me and that is so wrong! He asked for a rip stick for his birthday means that I ran the last one over on Halloween :( He has not left anything out since....at least he learns from my mistakes. Well Gage, I love you more then you can imagine and I am so proud of the person who you are thanks for being you and such a great son, I love you - love Mom

Blowing out his candles on his German pancakes on his Birthday breakfast. This is Gage's most favorite breakfast food. Him and Garrett will eat a whole 9x13 pan by themselves!!!

Gage now has his dad's crazy addiction for baseball cards!!! He got this cool binder with some card inserts and some packs of cards from Grandma and grandpa Robbie. He was in heaven and could not wait to open them up. He has a few good ones...so I hear :)

Crazy boy!!!

HIP-HOP

Garrett had his winter hip-hop concert on December 4Th at Springville High. He has really gotten good and enjoys it a lot. I think he likes it more now because it is an all boy class and they feel like it is NOT a dance class because there are no girls :) One of my BFF's Sara Mower teaches it as well as a bunch of other kids, she is awesome. Garrett is the best at the worm and the robot he is really quite good at all of it!! Good job Garrett, you did awesome and we are so proud of you. Keeping having fun and living life!! We love you so much!!
