Island Park....well Ashton, Idaho !!

We went up to Ashton, ID a couple weeks ago with russells family. We had a blast.We left on a friday morning and stoped at Maddocks for lunch. It was yummy!!! We stayed at this beautiful cabin. There was plenty of room for 25 of us!! The chids just played inside on the air hockey and ping pong table most of the time. The Men went snowmobiling everyday they had a blast. The cabin was right along side a River and it was beautiful. One Mid-Morning we saw 2 deer in the river just walking up it. It was nice to relax. But on the fourth day we were ready to come home. I only took a couple of pics of the room we were in. We had our own bathroom in our room. It was supposto be a steam shower but the steam didnt work! Here is the website to look at more pics of the place www.stoneflylodgeidaho.com . I highly recommend it. It was not that expensive if u have a larger group.

Catching up!!

So its been about a month since i last posted something. So i thought i beeter write something. Christmas was good this year. Landen finally gets the idea of opening gifts. He got a lot of toys this year. And a cool play slide from grandma greensides! He loves it! New Years we just had some friends over for dinner and games! It was a blast. Lando even celebrated the new year with us, but after it was straight to bed!!
Yesterday was landen first day in Nursery!! He did a really good job. I stayed in the room with him for a little bit until he didnt need me anymore. It was nice to actually go to sunday school!!! We also went to see the new Draper temple! We went for a special night. My aunt Debbie works at the church office building for the temples and they were doing a special night for them and there families. It was more like a test run to see if everything goes smoothly before the open house! And can i just say that i am truely amazed at how BEAUTIFUL that temple is. They call it a medium size temple. Every room is just amazing. Its very modern!! Love it. I Cant wait till it actually opens so we can go do a sesion!! Well that about all that happend this month. Here are some photos from christmas!!

Christmas with a Little drummer Boy!

Today after work we put up our Christmas tree and all the decorations. I love christmas time. Russell got his christmas present early again. He wanted Guitar Hero World tour, Friday when we were out shopping he was trying really hard to find the game. For the people who dont know what game it is, you play as a band so u have the drums, guitar and a singer. He found one friday night, and he played it most of the day saturday. So as we were setting up the tree tonight lando was playing the drums for us. He has been playing with the drums and the drum sticks all weekend. Russell video taped landen playing with the drum sticks. Know I know what to get landen for his christmas gift. I just love my little man lando!!

Thanksgiving!

This thanksgiving was nice, we went to russells parents. It was a nice little group. We took our wii over so micah, morgan and thaddeus could play. Russell and I played the wii with them also. The week was so busy. There was always something to do. Friday we did a little shopping and then had dinner over and my parents house. Sat was my fathers birthday so we went out to lunch for it. I was really grateful to be with my family this weekend. we spent alot of time with them. All and all we had a great time!!

Russells Surgery!

Russell had surgery today. He had surgery on his Right shoulder. he had a Rotater cuff tare( i hope i spelled that right,probably not) anyways. Everything went perfect the doctor said. Russell is doing great! He has not even been groggy! When i had my gallbladder out and i came out of surgery i was so groggy and tired, i could barely keep my eyes open. But russell takes it totally different he was up and talking and walking around by himself. I tried to keep him down but u know him Mr, Independent!!!! Well see about the next couple of day. The doctors say that the next couple of days will be worse. So well see! Also funny thing is the nurse asked before surgery which arm it was that they were doing the surgery, so he said is right. So the nurse got a marker and wrote on his right arm the word "YES", just to make sure the doctors do the correct arm. I thought that was funny that they would forget which arm is the right one!! Here is a picture of his sexy hospital gown!!

Girls Trip!!

My friends and I went up to park City just for the one night. My friend Melissa has a uncle that has a condo right by Jordanele resivor. So we went up sunday after noon and slept over just one night. It was so fun to have our girl time, which is talk, watch chic flicks and of course Shop!!! We all loved the shopping part. We ate at Red rock which was yummy!!! we were sad that a couple of our friends could not make it!! But we will do it again soon!!

We took ethe kids out trick or treating around there neighboorhood then went aback and had dinner and played games and just enjoyed eachothers company . It was so fun we had a blast.
