Okay, I know it's been a long time since I have posted. This post will contain lots of pictures. The biggest thing that has been going on is the amazing progress of our house. I am totally amazed by what my husband has accomplished with is own 
two hands.
Don't you know frying a turkey is exhausting?
Let me tell you about Jaydan and Santa. We
saw him in Kroger one day. She said, "why is Santa in Kroger?" I said, "He just wants to see children." Then as we went outside, she said, "where's his sleigh?" I said, "maybe it's parked around back". She said, "But I don't hear any reindeer." Then as we were standing in line at the Ward Christmas party, she said, "He's not
really Santa because he doesn't have a beard." I said, "Yes, he does." She said, "it's not long enough." She still sat on his lap and took the candy. On the way home, we asked her if she had a good time. She replied, "He wasn't really Santa." Then we left cookies out for Santa on Christmas Eve. Christmas morning, of course, the cookies had been eaten. Then she proceeded to tell us how she got up in the middle of the night when Santa was here. She talked to him and everything. He told her not to break any of her toys. What an imagination!
two hands.HALLOWEEN 2008
We had a fun Halloween! Jaydan had a non-party at school and then we went to Trunk or Treat at church. She was a princess again this year. Even though she wants to play soccer and can keep up with the boys, she is still a princess at heart.
THANKSGIVING 2008
We had a great Thanksgiving dinner. Brian fried a turkey, of course. One of these years, I am going to sneak in a roasted turkey. (It seems I am the only one that's not a fan of fried turkey). Our guests were: Desiree, James, Beth, Dylan, Laney, Makynzee, and Mary. Alec was here for a while and B was at his mom's. Later in the evening, Brenda, Josh, Paxton, Lorelei, Jon, Amy, Jerry, and Emily came out. All the kids had a blast! Just try to get 7 kids under the age of 5 to pose for a photo together!

CHRISTMAS 2008
Considering I had major surgery on Dec. 17, we kept things simple at Christmas. Of course, Brian fried another turkey. Do we see a pattern here? I'm not complaining. I certainly wasn't able to cook anything, although I did manage to make mashed potatoes. Instant, of course. James and Desiree came and ate with us and played with Jaydan. Jaydan got a pink digital camera and pink cowgirl boots and many other things. She has worn the boots almost every day. She also got a
matching outfit. Desiree and Gigi are going to take her to have pictures made.
