Christmas Eve!

We thought this year we would do something to get us in the Christmas spirit. We traveled to the Hardware Ranch to take a sleigh ride through the beautiful Elk herds. It was magical. We had quit the adventure on the way home . We got caught in a blizzard and managed to avoid a 6 car pile up.

Honey Family Party!

The annual Honey Family Christmas Party! Of course it was a blast. We started out sledding. Our favorite is the huge trains.


The three amigas! The are like three peas in a pod. Always together. Breanna, Mariah, and Paige.Cute Austin is having so much fun!You can never take a picture with my family around. Someone always ends up in the picture that is not suppose to.This looks a little dangerous! Good luck!

One thing our family loves to do is eat and eat and eat!!

Cousins did a cute job acting out the story of the birth of Christ. Ahh.....so sweet.

It's Begining to Look A Lot like Christmas!

Finally a white Christmas! Even the animals feel the spirit. Check out Misty our cat napping in the tree. And boo in his red striped sweater. I think he is laughing. The dog seems like he is always posing for the camera.

Decorating for Christmas

Every Christmas we have a tradition to buy one new ornament. This way when the kids grow up and have families of their own they can take all of their ornaments to start their own tree with their new family. It is always fun to see what each family member picks.

We need a Wii

Crazy as it might sound we needed a Wii. We stood in line at Kmart to get one on Thanksgiving day at 5:00 am and were the 15th in line. They only gave out 10. When we found out Game Stop was giving out only a few of the Wii games the kids were determined to get one. So...they talked their dad into sleeping out in the freezing weather to make sure they got one. They set up their tent in front of the store where there happen to be a electrical outlet so they could watch movies all night. They awoke to find over 8o people in line behind them. They even saw friends who were in line at Kmart the day before. When they walked outside holding the first Wii purchased, the crowd cheered as Austin held the Wii over his head triumphantly! How funny is that?! The kids now have a Wii and memories for a life time.

I've Been Tagged By Jessica!

The rules: List 6 or 7 interesting things about myself and tag others. Here I go....

1. I was the mascot copper at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. I was very famous when I was in my coyote costume. I had my picture taken with many famous people and athletes. It was a blast!

2. I hate going to the dentist. I have panic attacks when I am in the chair. I am afraid they are going to find a lot of cavaties. I dream that all of my teeth fall out. I brush and floss all of the time. I think it is because my grandmother hated going to the dentist and had all of her teeth pulled out. When I was a child and saw her without her teeth it scared me to death. I love it when me teeth are clean and white. I freak out when they are not. (Maybe to much information)

3. I have become the first teacher in my school to have acquired over $6,000 in the latest interative technology thanks to a grant I applied for and the pleading and begging companies to donate equipment.

4. I love Mexican food right now. I could eat cheese enchiladas all day! Loco Lizard is my favorite resturant at the moment.

5. I am a neat freak. I have to have everything in it's place. If it isn't, I have to put it away. I am a little like Monica on Friends.

6. I love to decorate my house. I have painted over 13 rooms in my house. I can picture things in my mind and make it a reality. I am very good with colors.

7. My favorite color is Yellow. I think it reminds me of the sun....warm, bright, and energetic.


Thanks Jessica! I tag Lisa, Becky, Tori, and celeste.
