What an awesome day!

This is "my" side of the family who attended the sealing of my sister's son! They now are complete and can be together forever!

My sister Kaylynn and her newly sealed family!

On December 27th, 2008 my sister and her husband Steve came all the way up from California to have their son Evan sealed to them in the Mt. Timpanogas Temple. Their family is now complete!

Dallin recieved a much cooler cell phone. He has that thing almost totaly figured out! Smart kid.

Christmas 2008!

Wow! Christmas Day came way to fast, but then the day slowed down to a snails pace while waiting for Derek to call home! I even went to Costco and bought the 6 phone Uniden special so that we could all talk at the same time. Unfortunately we found out that you can only talk on three at a time. And poor Derek could only hear one person at a time! None the less it was a very sweet sound when that phone rang. And event though I had a phone in my hand, Jaimie still beat me to answering it! I guess she does not understand the rules of being a Mom and getting to talk to your missionary first! I will be sitting on her when he calls for Mother's day!

It was so awesome getting to hear his voice again after 7 months! It was really weired hearing such a mature man talk. This was my first baby! I am not sure really what I expected, but he sounded different even from Mother's Day. He sounded great. He was so excited that they had a baptism on Sunday. He talked about how much he loves Bath. The people there are really nice to them. One funny thing he did tell us, they drive a mini van! Go figure. I bet that is a sight to see. He is just grateful that they have a mode of transportation that doesn't include snow shoes.
It was hard to get off the phone with him but he timed it right, so that he did have to go because of the late hour. Smart kid. Because he knows that I could have asked him questions for ever!
I have to say that it was by far the best Christmas present ever!

Some one did get me a gift!

I told you, they were pants! Big suprize!

Hummm...I wonder what this could be?

YES! Finally a foot soaker and messager all in one!!!!!

Oh Ya! Finally someone got me what I wanted!!!

And the fight begins!

Dallin and Jaimie were supposed to be shoveling the snow!

First Day of Winter Break!

Totaly against the rules of a snowball fight!

Dallin will eventually pay for that one!

5 Day's to go!

I am in so much trouble! Only 5 day's until Christmas!!!! And I have barley been shopping! And do I want to? NO! I guess I will have to join the other 90 percent of you that haven't done your shopping either! I went to the University Mall in Orem yestersday and did a little shopping. That is until Dallin called and said, 'hey Mom, where are you"? I told him where I was. He then said, "do you know that it is snowing hard out side"? Uhhh, no Dallin I am in the mall. "Well, you might want to start home, the roads are pretty bad." So I started walking back to where I came into the mall. When I had gotten there about 12:00 the sun was shinning. When I came out at 2:30 it was a blizzard! It took me 1 hour and 45 minutes to get home! The crazy thing was, when I got to American Fork the roads were fine. But when I started to go up the hill to our home it was snowing and the wind was blowing like crazy! Very strange weather!!!

Dallin and his Ballroom Dance Class!

I can't believe we have a kid who loves to dance! Let alone it's Dallin!

It was awesome to watch him and all the other kids dance. I am totally amazed as they have all been getting up at 5:00am for dance class. Now I can see girls doing this...but guys? It just goes to show you that reality TV can do some good! They were awesome! I can't wait to see their next concert.

Not the best picture, but Dallin and Grandma danced the foxtrot!

Dance Dallin Dance!
