Christmas Party!

James and I had our first possibly annual (will see:) Christmas party. It ended up being so much fun. We had a way fun group that came and they all brought good dip to share.
We had a Christmas Scavenger Hunt, where they had to go around with a camera and take pictures of different things around town. They got extra points for being creative.





Here are the different groups on the hunt. Josh, Andrea, Kristen, Curtis, Becca and Jesse. This group won, good job.

Travis, Brooke, Ginger and Steve.

Jay, Michelle, Alicia and Andy.

Our last game of the evening was a game James found in the Scout hand book. You tie a balloon to your ankle, the last one with an unpoped balloon wins. These boys were the last three in, until...

Becca decided to reveal that she had a balloon the whole time. She ended up winning, nice strategy:).

Overall it was a great night. Thanks everyone for coming!

Visit with Santa

We took the boys to the "Tree for All" to see Santa. They were so excited before and knew just what to tell him. I love how the minute they come face to face with the big man they become star struck and can't remember a thing they want. It kind of reminds me of the movie "A Christmas Story". It took a second but it came back to them.

Bryant had brought a little jingle bell that he had hung on to for a week to give to Santa and almost forgot to give it to him, luckily I reminded him. He told Santa that he could use it so that Bryant can hear him when Santa comes to our house.

Ethan is so stinking smart. He wanted a candy cane like his brothers, James told him he could have one after he sits on Santa Clauses lap. Ethan sat right on his lap, and pointed to the candy canes.

The second he had one he jumped off his lap and was on his way.

Movie Night

The other night we watched Michelle and Jay's kids. We put a little Netflix Christmas movie on the computer and moved the couches. They were so cute I couldn't resist taking a picture of all these boys.

Conner the Singer

This was so fun. I came home from a musical fireside put on by the missionaries, and found that Conner had written down in "Conner language" the words to a favorite song on paper, and wanted to preform it for me. So cute enjoy.

Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving

We had a good Thanksgiving this year, the best part is seeing so much family. It started out with Bryant's program the last day of school, and ended with a gathering at the Francom's.

On the Francom side there are 10 boys and only two girls, and one of them (Emmaly) just joined the family. On the Johnson side it’s 9 and 1, I will make it two in April. Crazy all these boys running around.
It was so funny trying to get a picture of all the grandkids. This is the best one we got. Look how good the 2 girls are being.

Cute picture of Carter and his mommy.

Nash in time out. check out that Francom Pout.

Grandma and Grandpa Frost

Becky, Ann, Bob and Tamara. Weird to think Tamara was Bryant's age when James and I got married.



The day after Thanksgiving the boys did the wishbone. I bet you can't tell who won.

Conner actually won, but you wouldn't know it from his expression.


Thanksgiving day after dinner we decided to take advantage of the nice weather and go Geo Cashing. It was our little family, my mom, Grant and Shay. I am glad they all came, It was a fun hike.



Conner was tripped by the dog and hurt his foot a little, so James carried both the boys part of the way. I volunteered to take Ethan, but he wouldn't let me. What a man.


Bryant's Program was great. I can't believe Mrs. Johnson was able to teach them so many songs and poems in such little time. She does such an excellent job with them.

This isn't of Bryant singing. He was acting so tired, which I didn't understand because he got to bed at 8:00 the night before and fell right to sleep. I wonder if he had a rough night.


Overall a good Thanksgiving weekend.
