I had the 5th annual movie party last week. Every year I make my friends dress up as movie characters and we all get together for a big party for my Birthday. This year was probably the last one, we've kind of grown out of dress up parties and everyone (myself included) is moving away this year. It was nice to get everyone all together in one place before we all scatter. Devan and BreeAnn even came over, though they're already too cool to dress up. Iron man was there, Edward from twilight, Raphael and April from Ninja Turtles, Alice in wonderland, Bill from Bill and Ted's, Helen of Troy, and some guy from the terminator came over. I dressed up as Dexter Morgan if you couldn't tell.

New Bike!


I just finished building my first bike. I've fixed up quite a few bikes and switched parts around, but this is the first one I built up from the bare frame, piece by piece. It was a lot of fun. Thanks to the Family for the handlebars!

It looks so good I'm hopefully following Devan and Dale Carnegie's advise on the right- "Arouse in the other person an eager want."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CODY & CAMRON



Happy Birthday
to our two favorite boys (this week)
Our oldest and youngest boys couldn't be more alike. In looks and personality. They were born 17 years and two days apart. Both are loving, patient, kind, HAPPY and talented. My favorite attribute of Cody's is that he treats his mother like an angel. It is always a joy to have him home for a visit! He is a very caring person. Cody is pressing on with school in Logan and will finish up his degree this year!!! He continues to work full time, staying busy with good friends, movies and outdoor adventures. We love you Cody!
Camron's personality is making changes. He is leaving that continuous happy easy-going faze of life, with a constant smile and heading into LIFE. Darn. We love his laugh and creative mind. He is forever imaginary playing, drawing designs for his next building project and having war games with friends in the backyard. Camron will celebrate his birthday "hangin with the guys". Jory is taking all the YM cross-country skiing into the cabin. Camron cried last year that he wasn't able to go with the guys and had to stay home with me. With this being the only weekend the YM could go it was decided only if Camron could come along would they go. Camron will ride the snowmobile with Jory and be in his height of glory. The next Saturday is also a big day. Camron is very excited to be baptized on March 6th and we hope all of you will join us!
Happy Birthday boys! We love you!
P.S. Join us for dessert Sunday night at 6:00 to celebrate both birthdays!

Christmas Puzzle

Each Christmas Cody gives us a puzzle to work on. This years only had 1500 pieces and took us 6 weeks to complete! It was HARD. Those who came to visit were mandated to putting five pieces together before they left. It looks fantastic now that it is done. When putting it away after standing in awe of it for a couple of days we packaged it in sections so that it will be much easier next time!
