Lindsay and her family along with me and my family decided to take the kids to Monster Jam. We deserved to go have some fun. We took the frontrunner down. Made it easy on us!

Jaylin, Ryanne, Kamrin all watching Jason...I am sure he is doing something really funny! haha

Best Friends for life.....Or else (Ryanne would say) lol

Some of the Monster Trucks....we had such a wonderful evening. It was so much fun. I also met up with a good friend of mine, Adam. He seems to always make me smile. It was good to laugh-fo sho!

You are all witnesses.....Mason smiled!! I have it on camera......Made my night!

While riding Trax to the frontrunner after all the fun, Colby was trying to do a pull up. All he really has to do is go on his tippy toes! PS....he has hit the 6ft mark!!

I finally got off that roller-coaster ride.....

Well, Denny was home-we gave it a try. It did not work. That roller coaster ride made me sick. All the up and down emotions. Finally just stood up-and got off. Feel Sooooooooooo much better. Honestly it was just too hard. I could not move past it. Was not happy. What is marriage without trust. That trust was gained and lost so many times in our marriage. But I am doing really good now. I am really happy. I absolutely love my kids. They are the biggest joy in my life.
Me and Denny parted on good terms. He understood and has expressed a couple times in the last month about thoughts returning of being single again......Frankly I ran out of duct tape. Could not keep him here any longer.
It is all going to be ok. I know when the time is right, I am going to find someone amazing. That person will know they have something special and won't want to look elsewhere.......it will happen, someday.

You know what this family needs??

You know what this family needs........a cute, wrinkly, loving dog! With 2010 gone, and everything we lost with it, we thought this family needed something to focus and look forward on. They have been begging for a Dog since Denny came home. I think they put something in my Diet Coke because I finally agreed and the search for the newest Hill member began. We became addicted to KSL. Not sure what we were looking for. Then we stumbled upon this little guy.......

He's So Wrinkly!!
My mom has named this Grand-dog that she did not want us to get--CHESTER!
(She has secretly fallen in love with him, could not sleep and came up with a good list of names) Family voted....and Chester it is!

He is Denny's Birthday gift for the family....lol

They are so alike....
He is such a good lil pup. We love him so much and can tell he loves us too.

Ryanne is a little jealous of the puppy, wanted her picture taken too. Cheese!

Finally made it to the SLC lights!

Right before the "New Year" we finally made our trip to Temple Square. We loves it in the Christmas Lights. We took Ryanne's favorite transportation....the Front Runner!

Mason and Ryanne

Me and MY hubby!

Colby pretending not to hear or know us....gotta love them teenagers

Colby and Ryanne

My Everything!

Christmas Morn......

It was a little weird this Christmas Morning, it was just us. We usually have Amy, or my parents, or Denny's Mom. But it was just us. It was nice....but I missed everyone. I really missed Amy.

Ryanne found hair pieces in her stocking, decided to do her hair herself! So Beau-Ti-Ful!

Denny doing his favorite thing on Christmas morning, handing out the presents

I am not going to list everything the kids got...lets just say, Santa thought they were good kids (Boy was he fooled) But will just show some photos of them Christmas morning.

Mason was going to just DIE if he did not get the remote controlled helicopter

Colby opening DJ Hero....looks like fun, but yet hard

Christmas morning we went to my Mom's for the best omelets EVER! Colby took a nap, while Grandpa Billmire thought it would be funny to pose pictures with Madie's toy that is wearing Ryanne's Barbie Jewelry. LOL...it was funny

Denny and Ryanne in her Tinkerbell Tent...she loves tents and making forts. Her dad has made some pretty cool ones for her that includes a TV!

I got a really cute beanie I wanted for school days, and some beautiful jewelry

Denny, being the confused, pre-midlife, aliens took over his brain, that he was this last year--pawned his wedding ring. So I decided to surprise him with one. And I proposed....he said YES!

We have been through so much this year, but I must say, the love I have for this guy is stronger than I can even try to explain. I love him. Hope to spend the rest of my life with him.....fingers are crossed and I have him tied down with no car or phone. I don't think he is going anywhere.

It is Christmas EVE at the Hills!!!!

My family absolutely loves Christmas Eve. The excitement in the air with the kids and the family togetherness=amazing!
