Christmas Trip.

 

We got to go to California for the week before Christmas.  We weren't planning on going anywhere for Christmas because we didn’t have the funds to do so.  My brother Chad called us up one day and told us that his kids (from is 1st marriage) get to come to stay with him for the week before Christmas, and that if we could get to Salt Lake he would drive us to California and back.  SWEET CHEESE!! Tony and I talked it over and said YES!!!  We spent a couple of days with Tony’s family unfortunatly I didn’t take very many pictures when we were there and the ones that I had I posted in the previous post. My brother Ty and my sister Cis took all of the ones I posted today.

The fun!

It was such a fun trip! We had family pictures taken with a photographer because the first time in years the whole family was together!  I will post those pictures in another post. We did a big Birthday party for Ty and Jayne because their birthday are 2 days apart. Jayne was actually due on Ty’s birthday but she came 2 days early. The day that we did our “Christmas” with  the Bowman’s we did family photos then opened presents, we sent the kids out side to play, got ready for the feast, ate, cleaned up, vegged out, and then Ginger bread houses. it was so much fun.

With Tony’s family We all got together at his sister Colleen’s house and did Christmas there. We had a pizza party and lots of yummy desert, Opened presents. The kids had fun playing with each other and playing with their presents. All of us mom’s left the kids with the dad’s and we went to walmart to pick of a few things we needed. It was fun to visit with everyone. We enjoyed our trip dispite the loooooooong car ride. We are so glad that we got to come.

Thank you Chad and Theresa for driving us. We very much appreciate it. We love you miss you all.

Jayne’s 1st Birthday.

 

Jayne is 1 !!!!! I know every mom says this, but…. Time sure does fly! She had 2 birthday parties one with Tony’s family and one with mine. Jayne enjoyed her first cake, but would hardly touch her second cake. We tried to shove her hands into it, but she freaked out! She crawled over to me,  and as soon as I picked her up….. the older kids attacked like a pack of wolves on the cake! I didn’t even have time to say anything… it was Gone! Good thing I thought it was funny! It was pretty entertaining at how fast that cake disappeared.  Jayne had fun splashing in the sink while her cake became nonexistent.  I know the cake isn’t that pretty but my mom and I had and our to decorate 2 cakes one for Jayne and one for my brother Ty. so that’s as good as it gets!

I love how my sister caught the splash!

The Lovely aftermath of the cake….

Jayne had fun opening her presents, annnd she actually helped!!!
