Audrey passed out the presents and told us when to open them! Great Job Audrey!

That Natalie girl is so cute! we can hardly keep our eyes off her!


Mom and dad with their socks...it is more fun to give than recive!


MOM LOVED her sock!!! You will have to ask her about this particular gift!
Since I had to work so much we had Santa come on the night of the 25th and we opened Socks on the 26th....

Christmas Eve at the Swifts!

On Christmas eve we hung out at the Swifts house...I had to come late because I had to work...but it looks like they had lots of fun!

Bruce Brought "Candy Cane" Rawhide bones to share...Jackson loved his!


We played a few games...What else would you expect at the Swift house?

Nathanael and Mary-Anne

Doranda and Bob

And the most Important part...there was Yummy Chocolate cake, for Jim's Brithday! Thanks for having a birthday Jim!

Pedigo Party!

I took extra care to take lots of pictures this year (because I didn't last year) and I got some pretty good ones!

Our Audrey helping her little sister!

Owen played with all the kids so good!

Auntie Sandy and Shania

The Gaylord Clan!

The Boys got in a game of Texas Hold 'em!
We Kinda got a picture of all the sibs...hopefully Gary got a better one!

I think I took 60 pictures of the Chappell girls...this was one of the best...Clara is such a Wort!

Of course everyone LOVED out Natalie girl....she just smiles at everyone!

The Walla Clan!

Granny, Audrey and Clara loved Auntie Sue's Ocean...it has boats and airplanes!

Our Nat girl is Huge!

She is so stinkin' Big! This is getting to the stage I love the most, because she can giggle and react when you are talkin to her!

She needs a cookie, don't you think?

One picture of our Buggie...she almost never lets me take picutres of her!

Poor Guy!

Our Bruce had to go to the Vet. yesterday! He got Neutered and now he has to wear a cone...so pathetic, but he is so cute!

Piano

After much looking and wanting we got a PIANO!! Our friends in the ward had it in storage and let us buy it from them...this was perfect because our issue with Craigslist is cordinating movers and a truck! So if anyone has EASY Piano music (Christmas?) for me to learn Piano on please feel free to send it my way!
P.S. it also did NOT come with a bench so if you see a good one (sturdy but cheap) on craiglist let me know!

I have a lot to be thankful for this year, I sometimes forget it, but this is a good time of year to help me remember…

My husband, he is a wonderful eternal companion and no matter how crazy I get he stands solid by my side waiting to comfort me!


My Pooch! I am so grateful for his company so that I never have to feel alone!

The gospel is a great blessing in my life not only for the spiritual side but also the church and how it brings friendship together; I love the people in my ward!

Chocolate is one of my favorite things in this world, it always makes me feel better and never disappoints!


Our Home…it isn’t always my favorite and I am sometimes embarrassed, but it will make a good foundation for a great life!



My Mother! She is my best friend in every way, I cannot imagine how I would get though some days without her!

It's a Wall!

I know it doesn't look like much, but we are very excited!! when we closed in our carport there was a sliding glass door that lead from the dining room into the garage...kinda ugly to look at the car while you’re eating, cut down on wall space and generally made the kitchen/dining area awkward...so now it is a wall....looks like nothing was ever there from the inside, outside it looks ugly, but hey it’s a garage, who cares?

Congrats Malachi!

Pacific Air (Malachi's company) is trying something new...They split Malachi's department into two Groups...The "Under 10's", which will do all the Systems and are under 10 years old and the "Over 10's"...These are the workers that have high sales and high recommendations, SO...by working on the older systems they will have MORE of an opportunity to make a commission because an older furnace is far more likely to break, or need its ducts cleaned or need additional maintenance....SO Malachi was chosen for this "Over 10" group based on his sales, WAHOO!! This can mean a lot more money and that his boss is recognizing him as an excellent worker!! GREAT JOB HUNNY!

2 new boys!

Our family has expanded...We have the Privilage of housing our wards missionaries! This is a great oportunity for us...I was a little hesitant at first, but I think it will be good to provide this service!
But I now live with 3 Twenty-somthing boys...there is no hope, At least I won't have to wory about food going bad!

Carvin' Punkins

We FINNALY (days before Halloween) got around to carving our Pumpkins! Mine is suppose to be Bruce...but it kinda turned out to look more like a cat!

We are still alive!

We are still here...sorry I haven't posted anything recently....we haven't done anything fun that we have taken pictures of!
Malachi got new suits! His Church wardrobe left something to be desired so we decided to take the plunge and invested in a few Key pieces! Doesn't he look nice?

Isn't Bruce cute...I cannot believe how big he is!

I had my Primary program on Sunday! I am so proud of my class, they did so good!

Check out my Zucchini plant!
Its huge! I don't know what I am going to do with it all winter...Bigger pot?

Natalie's blessing!

We went to Natalie's blessing today! She was so beautiful!


I don't even know why I bothered putting make-up on...Jerm made me cry it ALL off!
