Happy Birthday Nat!

For Nat's birthday her husband wanted to surprise her with a party. My friend Michelle offered her cabin, so we stayed the weekend. We played games, visited, and on her birthday we dressed up in 1920's for a party(that's what Nat was wanting). Of course we had to take pictures and here are a few of them. Also, I took some others from the weekend. Thanks Michelle for letting us come to your cabin. Happy Birthday Nat! Also, thanks for the pictures in our 1920's garb.

Here are the little ones eating lunch, yummy, yummyHere is Sawyer and Chloe cleaning the playhouse (playing). It was wonderful to have a lot of kids up there to play with each other and keep each other company. It makes it much more enjoyable as a parent. I could actually play games and visit with my friends.Here we are playing a mean game of Kan Jam. It was fun and everyone enjoyed playing it. We even had a few people make Kan Jams.

Our family minus Matthew, he was sleeping. Me and my hobo! I absolutely love this picture of Michelle, her eyes look amazing with the blue boa, and she looks beautiful.

Michelle threw a surprise party for her husband Thomas. It was a 1920's theme swing dance. My husband wasn't too thrilled on dressing up and dancing isn't his thing. He was a good sport though and dressed up and even danced one dance with me. It was fun hanging out with our friends though.Me and my hobo again! My girls! Strike a pose!

Shooting with the Evans Family

On New Years Day we went shooting with my family in the desert. It was a lot of fun! We had a few 9mm hand guns, a 22 hand gun and a few shot guns, a 12 gauge shot gun, and a .308 rifle. I shot all of them except for the .308 that was a big gun and I was a little frightened. My girls even shot the guns. I didn't get a picture of Abby though because I was feeding Matthew and by the time I was done Abby had already shot with Brendon. Also I didn't get any of the guys shooting. I must have taken pictures and then gone over to help with the kids.

Happy New Year!

For New Years we went over to my mom's and we played around in the front driveway with plasma cars mostly the kids were while the adults were playing Kan Jam. We had chicken tortilla soup and chili for dinner. We then played games and visited until it was time to ring in the New Year.

Abby and Auntie Aubs banging on pots!

Our New Year's kiss!
Sawyer didn't make it. :(

Look how cute she is curled up on the couch cushion.

Matthew had been sleeping, I woke him up to go home. This is where he rang in the new year, on grandma's bed.
