I resolve that it's impossible to get a good picture of all 6 kids together with my dinky camea! This is as good as it gets! Good thing they are all so darn cute!

Howdy partner
Porter and Kaleb in their cowboy stuff--can't wait to get an update on this picture with Kaleb in his new Chaps and Christmas boots from G&G Rose and Porter in Kaleb's old ones.
Wishin' and hopin'
Kaleb was SOOO excited when the Toys R Us big toy book came in the mail. Watching him excitedly go through each page brought back vivid memories of looking through the JCPenney catalog the whole month before Christmas getting my "wish list" all ready for Santa.
Porter found a comfy place on the bar to join in the fun!
2010 Family Christmas Party Highlights
The fun party was held at Grandpa and Grandma Rose's house and some of the highlights included:*traditional yummy clam chowder and breadsticks dinner
*little program involving the oldest child from each family led by G&G Rose
*talent show involving everyone!
*present opening from G&G Rose (each gift was meaningful and fit each child's personality perfect)
*cousin present opening
*a special reading from Grandma Johnson--it just wouldn't be a party w/out Grandma!
*lots of food, fun, visiting, and entertainment from the kids
I love getting together with my family and I'm grateful for my parents who go to so much trouble to create fun family memories! I just wish that Matt, Sara, and the kids could've been there for all the fun!
Fairview Elementary's Christmas Operetta
The Performing Arts Center
Thursday, December 16, 2010 @ 5:30
Our Elementary school kids put on the cutest Christmas production called, The North Pole's Got Talent. Jordyn's 1st Grade class were Elves and they performed, "Up on the Housetop." Morgan's 3rd grade class were the North Pole City Workers and they performed "Silver Bells." Our music director at the school does such a great job with the kids and with very little time to prepare, they pulled off an adorable show.

Jordyn wasn't feeling too good that night so I couldn't capture her usual happy grin. The other cute little girls are sisters that are Morgan and Jordyn's friends (Emily and Kayli Mickelsen)
A productive day at school
When I asked what Jordyn learned at school yesterday, this is what she had to show me:
Guess what we did for the rest of the afternoon at our house?

Could life get any busier?
They say it does, sorry people, don't believe ya!!! I haven't even eaten breakfast yet and it's 2:40 in the afternoon. I'm just now getting ready for the day and I've spent all day on the phone making every appointment possible--dentist, doctor, eye doctor, gastroentrologist (Jordyn), vehicle Dr. appt., and the list goes on. I'm not complaining, just recording for future purposes when all 6 kids are older and I'm running my head off and asking myself the same question; could life get any busier????
Christmas was wonderful! The kids were so excited, especially when they opened our family gift which is a trip to Disney Land in March. Thanks to DJ's work at BYU I, he gets to attend a 3 day conference in Long Beach and his family gets to come along. We plan to be gone a total of 10 days squeezing in everything we possibly can along the way. YEAH!!!!
We spent a few great days in Cokeville with DJ's family. We skied, we tubed, we ate, we visited, we watched lots of football (DJ is one happy man), we visited DJ's sweet sister Patty in the nursing home, we played with cousins, and tired DJ's poor parents out. But, it was a blast and we loved every minute of our time with them.
We're still trying to get answers with Jordyn's stomach problems. She's still miserable a lot of the time, throwing up random foods that don't agree with her stomach, having diarrhea, and still has a very distended stomach most of the time. Her latest ailment was a nice boil looking thing on her back that needed a Dr's attention. Thanks to my brother-in-law, Stanton who is a dentist, was sweet enough to take a look at it and then proceeded to pop the darn thing. Sorry to be so graphic but it was pretty disgusting. Don't know if all these weird things that keep happening to her are all related but I'd like some answers really soon. Oh, to make matters worse, the poor kid had to get one of her back baby teeth pulled that was sitting way too low. Thanks to a little sedation, she made it through fine.
Kaleb also had his turn in the dental chair this past week. He had a big cavity that was too big to be filled so he has a pretty silver cap on one of his back baby teeth. Thanks again to my brother-in-law, Stanton!
Regan has basketball tryouts today. Wish her luck. She wants to make the team so bad!
Morg's starts indoor soccer next week. She's pumped and ready for some serious business soccer!
I'm excited for 2011. I love the New Year. It's a time for me to make new goals that I probably won't accomplish. (just kidding) I didn't do too bad with 2010's goals. I didn't play the piano near as much as I had planned but I did a little better. I had a little more patience with the kids but I totally blew it the last week of December. I totally blew up and had a melt down with all of them so here's hoping 2011 will be "blow up" free!!! I just love when I act childish and immature (NOT):) I read 2 books, my goal was to read 1 (sad I know), took a trip to Hawaii with my hubby and his parents, check that one off. Had a fun family vacation with the kids, and studied my scriptures a little more frequently.
I have just a few goals for 2011. #1- get more sleep- now if I can just convince the kids to stop coughing, whining, sleep talking, knocking me on the forehead when they can't sleep, throwing up (Jordyn), falling out of bed (Kamryn), using the bathroom in the middle of the night, etc. I think this is an unrealistic goal, what do you think?
#2 goal- more patience-I'm going to try this one again-It's January 3rd and it's going great!! 3 days down and 362 more to go!
More to come tomorrow.
