I'm a Big Girl Now!!

I had my ear's pierced when I was much younger...they got infected allot. I grew them in. Denny has really wanted to pierce my ears (wants to buy me ear-rings or something).

Since Ryanne got hers done I have liked changing hers (when she lets me) and told him I wanted to do mine sometime. did not know when we went to get Cafe Rio......that I would end up in that chair. I did not even cry! Ryanne did though. She thought they were going to hurt me.

I was soooo nervous! Now I want to do it again and have 2 on both ears LOL. I feel like a little girl. Going around saying, Look! I got my ears pierced!!

Santa Came.....Santa Came!!!

It was a very nice Christmas....the kids were happy. I just can not believe it is all over with. This season has just been a blur!

The kids all nestled in the bed.....

We make it a tradition on Christmas Eve to all sleep in the basement. It's a Family Sleepover!

Ryanne and Mason

Amy was in Mason's room in basement

My Charlie Brown Christmas Morning
I was not able to get my family to sleep over this year. But Denny's Mom and Dad did.


Santa Came!

Denny got a food slicer! He has wanted one for soooooo long. I am not kidding.

Ryanne was a hoot this year watching her with her presents. She was loving it and would get excited with each gift! She got lots of girly baby stuff (My favorite)

Mason got some car track stuff, transformer and transformer gun, a spark scooter, and some misc. stuff

Colby really enjoyed fly fishing with Todd this year. Wanted his own pole...he also got lots of technology stuff for xbox 360--I do not know what they do....but he was really excited and so was Denny. He also got a razor scooter and ............A CELL PHONE!!!!! Yikes!! I know I know...I said not until at least Jr. high. But his Dad won this debate.

Amy got lots and lots of clothes...that is her thing right now. And the Twilight Movie. She had this face with most gifts....what a cutie

This is Ryanne when all the presents were opened. She was so sad!

So, I dared Colby to ride his new scooter in his new awesome P.J's! He totally did it!


That's my 11 year old son....and proud of it!

This is Mason trying out his spark scooter....pretty cool.

Denny got me this cool heart monitor for when I am working my butt off at the gym. I really needed it for spin class! Plus I got my new kitchen....photos coming soon!

Thanks everyone that made this Christmas so memorable. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I truly was blessed this year. My kids are healthy...and I just the coolest family ever. They are my whole life. They are the reason I get up every day. I look forward to all our fun family times.

It was some Good Times.....Good Times.....Fo Sho!

My favorite day of the year.......Christmas Eve!!

I absolutely love Christmas Eve! I still get so excited and antsy like a little girl....lol. I love Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day! I love having my family over. We have dinner together and exchange gifts. Then while the kids start winding down we talk about past Christmases while sitting around the tree.

We did a couple different things this year, me and my family put together a Christmas program. It was lots of fun. Amy and the kids are really good singers. Amy could try out for American Idol. She just tried out for Solo in Choir, we will find out soon if she gets the part!This was Amy, Colby, and Mason singing Rudolph with Sophie and Kamrin

This is Me, Colby, and Amy singing Chipmunks Christmas.

Colby was Alvin, I was Theadore, and Amy was Simon



Then Colby and Amy sang "Where are you Christmas" with their friend (my other daughter) Maria

The Twins opening their gifts. They got the cutes doll houses from Grandma Billmire. Thanks Mom, my kids loved all the gifts. Been playing with them since.

Jaylin opening her gift from Grandma

Mason loves the Batman Lego game from Grandma

Amy gave Jaylin and Kamrin these cute scarfs....

I gave my mom a Calendar I made with a bunch of photos from throughout the last year or so. I must say, it turned out really cute!

And what did Mom and Dad get you?? Pajamas!!!!

Sisters Kamrin and Jaylin

That is right! I got my kids all foot Pajamas!! I did it for a joke and for the photo itself, but they actually really liked them and have been wearing them every night! Wish I got me and Denny some :)

AS you can tell, Ryanne is not the happiest. She was sick right before Christmas...on anti-biotics for 4 days at this point. Feeling better but still so grouchy!! Yikes!!

My and my Sista got the same ring for Christmas from our kids!!! *Bling Bling*

IN OTHER NEWS!!!!

Todd asked my Aunt Kristi to marry him! She said YES! Her ring is absolutely beautiful. Not sure why I did not get a picture of it!! (But I got of picture of mine and Lindsays....lol) He proposed right before they came over. I am sooooooo excited! I love Todd and his family so much! He is wonderful and she deserves such happiness!! Congrats guys!

This is Todd's daughters Megan and Jess holding Alyssa's little girl Carley. I love these girls so much. They are like sisters to me. Feel like I have known them my whole life. I am excited that we will be cousins!! Love you guys :)

D,J. and his girlfriend Tiffany

Maria...she is so cute

My cute mother-in-law Linda

My father-in-law Randy

My wonderful Grandma Bybee with Kamrin

Lindsay and Jason...it was wierd having him over even though they are separated and getting divorced. But he will never be able to leave this family. They make really good friends--go figure!

My beautiful Mom eating some Eclair cake...yummy!

Lindsay gave this snuggie to my Mom for X-mas. The girls loved it!

HOLD UP!!

On a side not and very different subject. I must vent....my sister showed up Christmas Eve with two black eyes and a broken nose....what's love gotta do with that? And the sad thing is....she will probably return to him. His name is Corey and he is the father of little Carley. Just gotta say....Um.--Alyssa that is NOT love!

Me, Alyssa (trying to hide her face) Lindsay and Jaylin

Girls Rock!

Mom, Carley, Jaylin, Alyssa, Kamrin, Ryanne, Me, Lindsay, and Amy

Our Silly faces!

We were kidding around with Alyssa and said she does not even have to do anything. She looks like she is in need of some make-up tips.

All kidding aside. I do love my sister Alyssa very much. I am concerned about her and feel helpless. All I can do is be there for you.....but for all you girls out there--That is NOT love...it will never be.

Amy goes to her first Jr. High Dance..

*Sniff Sniff* Amy is now growing into such a young beautiful woman SO FAST! She had her first Jr. High School Dance. It was a masquerade!


Amy and one of her really good friends, Megan



They had a really good time. She danced with like 3 different guys and was totally excited about it. I love her so much. She is such a wonderful girl and is so helpful.

My Nephew Tyler turned 4!!

My sister's son Tyler turned 4 this month. He had his birthday party at Classic Skating in Layton. Have not really been there. But was stoked to find out I can rent a scooter! I have been loving the kids scooter lately (until I biffed at my friends house) We had a good time. Did not really see Tyler much though....he was always on the go and there was allot of family and friends there to support him.

Tyler's little brother Gage

I love my family so much. We had so much fun together. I think my family is the coolest family EVER! It was nice seeing the nephews. We do not get to see them that much. They are both growing so fast!
