Basement!!!
Our basement is nearly complete! YEAH! We moved the boys in last Monday after the carpet was laid. I LOVE it. We only have a few things left to do with the rooms. We will tackle the bathroom when JD's shoulder heals! JD has done a great job and so much thanks to all those who have helped!
Catch Up....
It's only been a couple of weeks and so much has happened! Here are some highlights!
I don't know if I call this a highlight but what a clever baby! She knocked down the trash can and then pushed it all the way to the gate. I watched the whole thing and just loved her face when she could see over the top! Funny girl!
Tanner's preschool program at a retirement home. At first he just did not want to do it but finally decided he could and we are so glad he did because it was awesome!
Definitely not a highlight but definitely a big happening! JD dislocated his shoulder. In the xray you can see that he shoulder is like 2 inches away from the socket - disgusting and extremely painful. He's been in a sling for a couple of weeks now. Let's hope no surgery is required! Church basketball - need I say more!
Snow fun! We have had TONS of snow! The boys were out there for hours- burrrr!
The Sunday before Christmas! They all look so cute!
Christmas Eve dinner with the Farrells. Best Christmas present ever - Dad got the news that he has no active cancer in his body - way to live strong Daddy - we are proud of you! We are so glad they came down for our activities even though my brothers wouldn't sing with us - we loved having them here! Dinner by candlelight and a program on the nativity!
Christmas morning! Marissa got her own Dora phone! Hola!
Christmas morning! Dawson the rock star - his first guitar - thank you Santa!
Christmas morning - no pictures of Josh and his new IPOD shuffle but he sure loves it!
Christmas morning - no pictures of Tanner and his new Pokemon stuff but he loves it too!
We didn't do too good on Christmas day with the pictures - bummer! But we did have a great Christmas and hope you all did too!
P.S. I forgot to add that Josh sang a solo in our Primary program at church and did so great! And that evening at a stake music of Christmas, he and Tanner sang in a children's choir and did so well too. For one of the verses of the song, Josh sang a solo. He really is so talented. That day was definitely a huge highlight but no camera in church!

Santa and Staples
On Thanksgiving Morning our family was lucky enough to have a Thanksgiving breakfast with Santa Claus. Well Santa's helper - Grandpa Hanks! Grandpa is Santa for Christmas this year and really is living up the part. So we got lots of pictures with the kids and Santa and had a great big breakfast that Daddy made of bacon, sausage, hash browns, waffles and eggs! Yum! Since we weren't going to be with the Hanks' clan for dinner that day we thought we would have a breakfast instead! It was fun!
Marissa wasn't too sure about this big, hairy guy!
On Monday night after Thanksgiving, we had FHE and a great lesson on service given by me. Things were going smooth for a Monday and as I was sweeping the floor that night - I thought "things have been pretty calm lately." Then that feeling of dread wondering what was going to happen to break the good happenings! Well as I was calling everyone to come sit down for scriptures and everyone was ignoring me because they were wrapped up in a game of football, Daddy proclaims "You guys know how this always ends - somebody gets hurt." Then about 4 times more of saying stop to the football playing. "One last play" was what we hear and then Dawson takes Josh down backwards and hits his head on the bookshelf. It was one of those where you know it's going to be bad before you even see it. So yep a trip to the ER and 2 staples in the head. You should have seen the look of dread on Dawson's face when the doctor said "Staples are best for this part of the head." WHAT! Priceless! But we all survived even Daddy who was about to blow a gasket when there was an injury after so many times of being asked to stop! And even Tanner who cried because he was so worried about Dawson. Hopefully we have all learned our lesson and will not be playing football in the house any more! YEAH RIGHT!
