Mogollon vrs Snowflake

Last Thursday Taylor and his 8th grade team came to Heber to play us in a basketball game.  I tried getting a good picture with both of them on the court but it didn't happen.  The Mustangs ended up pulling off a win against the Lobos.  It was a great game.  It's fun to see 2 cousins out on the court!

Priest Ordination

With turning 16 along comes the ordination of a Priest.  It was fun that this ended up being on his birthday!  

 Here are some of the priesthood holders that took part in the ordination.  Too bad the middle two had already changed.  Both Grandma and Grandpas came to our house after church for Lasagna dinner.

It was a great day!  I still can't believe this boy is 16!  So thankful he is a good boy with a testimony that strives hard to do what is right. He is growing up way too fast though!

Dustin is 16!!

I can't believe my big boy is 16 years old!  His birthday was on a Sunday so Saturday night after some basketball games he wanted to have a few friends over.  He told me he didn't want a bunch just kids in his grade and a few close friends.  Well 30 friends later we had a party!  Everybody that walked in the door I would think "yep they are good friends" so Dustin just has lots of good friends!

 They played bean boozled  - a game where you spin and land on a color of Jelly Belly's it's either Tootie Frootie or Stinky socks etc.  There is skunk spray, barf, grass clippings, baby wipes, boogers and a few others I can't think of.  They played Kemps, spoons, Jaylen brought his X Box, sledded out in the snow, took dorky snow pictures.  They had lots of fun.

 They ate tons of chips and salsa, and nachos, cookies and lots of hot chocolate.

 These were the 3 Juniors here that are best buds! Noah, Bridget and Barr. It was a great night with great kids!

We The People

Tylinn and Bruce went to We The People with Tylinn's 6th grade class and the other 6th grade class. Bruce said Tylinn did great on her speech and had a great day!  The hit of the trip was coming home Bruce took his little speaker and they hooked it up to Emma's Ipod and sung their little hearts out!

Snow Fun!

Tylinn and Kaylee and I went sledding (well I went to take pictures) with the Parry's by the realtor office.  Here are some pictures from the fun!

New Years Eve

I would like to say New Years Eve was a quiet one but with these 4 girls it was anything but quiet.  Rhett stayed in Snowflake with Taylor for a couple of nights and one of them was New Years Eve so we brought Jordan here with us.  Tylinn wanted a friend so she invited Emalee W. to hang out with her.

 Bruce started framing a wall and some closets upstairs.  Wooo hooo!  We will have to wait a while before we can start on the sheet rock but at least it is moving forward!

 Second and third wards did something together as you but our ward didn't have anything planned so Bridget just hang out at home with us.  We ended up playing Sequence and watching a movie.

 Dustin had a few boys over to play Jaylen's play station and eat food.

 These girls played Just Dance on the Wii and were crazy!!  But they had lots of fun!

Midnight came and Bruce and the boys shot off some firecrackers and that was the end of it.  Dustin had to leave at 6:45 the next morning for a basketball tournament in St. Johns.  So we took a few kids home and headed to bed.  We are grateful to ring in the new year and be able to try harder to be  little better!!

Snowflake

After Christmas we went to Snowflake.  One of the days there we went to 5 mile to play on the ice and to iceskate.  The Ridings and Schultz families were there too.
