We brought in the new year rather quickly this year. LOL Trying to entertain little kids plus pre-teens was a little tricky this year. We did have a blast by celebrating by 9pm. They had no idea it was not midnight. lol. We even had them in bed by 10:30pm. It was great! We always have to bring in the new year with a little egg roulette. Eli quite enjoyed this game. We decided to start a New Year tradition with starting the New Year off right by doing service for others. We went to The Mission up in Salt Lake City and help feed, clothe and give toys to little kids and there families. It was such a great experience for my kids to see how other people live and how some people cant even afford to eat or buy there kid Christmas presents. This is something we will hopefully be doing every year. What a rewarding way to start the new year! January 4th this awesome kid Liam turned 5. He is for sure my most sweetest child. He loves everyone and has a big heart. ...

Christmas 2018 Had such a great time starting a new tradition with our favorite family. The Quackenbush and Meier Pj Party. We decorated cookies, played games and watched a Christmas movie. It will be fun to continue this every year. Christmas came so fast this year for us and it was awesome. This was the first year we had Christmas with our own little family. It was so special and so fun to start new traditions with just the 6 of us. The kids had so much fun unwrapping gift then playing hard for the remainder of the day. We went to Marry Poppins later that day. It was really fun and the boys got to buy there own treats with there Christmas money and they were stoked. They came back with a whole bunch of sugar and a big box of popcorn for themselves. Ha Ha Ha. 

November was a fun and busy month for us. We love busy because sometimes we don't know what to do with ourselves when were not. Also trying to play some catch up since I have not posted in 7 years which we will just have to begin from here. I want to use this blog for personal use and for my kids to look back on instead of facebook and instagram. So this will be a journal in that sense. I started November off with helping my friend decorate a tree in honor of her daughter Brighton. This was my first year helping Bethany and this was the third tree they have done in her honor. It was such a great experience spending time with my sweet friend Bethany. Eli was working hard this month doing 2 practice a week for choir so they could get ready for the Christmas concert. He did awesome got up early and stayed late. He is a hard worker just like his dad who was recording so many podcast before the Christmas break the next month. I am so proud of Matt and all that he is doing with ...
