Where did December go?

I can't believe it has been more than a month since my last post! I am such a slacker. So much has been going on lately it has been hard to find the time to play on the computer. But now that the holidays are past things should start to slow down a little now. Who am I kidding? With three little kids life will never slow down, but that is what makes life interesting right?
We have been keeping busy with family parties, vistiting with family and friends from out of town, junior jazz, Bronco games and all the other every day things. It took me all week to clean out the kids' rooms so I could fit everything they got for Christmas. Talk about spoiled! This year I was pretty spoiled too. I got a new computer for Christmas. I am really excited about it. Right now we have the computer downstairs in the unfinished basement. So in the winter you have to put on your hat and gloves when you want to use the computer. But the new one is a laptop so I can use it anywhere in the house that I want to. Now when I type, my fingers won't freeze. I surprised Brian this year for Christmas. I got him a Bronco helmet signed by John Elway. I also got him a display case to put it in. I think he really loves it.
The picutres I posted are of the kids with Santa at the ward party and with the cousins at aunt Twyla's house. I am also going to post our Christmas letter this year.
Christmas 2006
Dear Friends and Family,
Another year has come and gone. And I think this may have been our family's busiest year ever.
Brian is still working for the newspaper agency. He is also coaching basketball again at the high school. Betweeen work and basketball he is a very busy man, but he really enjoys both. Brian's life long dream came true for him this year. As of last spring he is now a Denver Broncos football season ticket holder! He is going to five of the eight regular season games. Needless to say, we will be making several trips to Denver for probably the rest of our lives.
I am still a stay at home mom. I feel very fortunate that I am able to be here all the time with the kids. But every mom needs to get out of the house every once in a while. So some friends and I started going to jazzercise three times a week. It has been so much fun.
Trevon is six and he started kindergarten this year. He is doing so well in school, and he thinks that riding the bus is the best thing ever. He loves to play basketball and he has his first Jr. Jazz game next weekend. Trevon also is a huge Bronco fan like his Dad. He went to his first NFL game in September.
Jackson is four and he started preschool this year. He loves it, but I have to convince him that it is not show and tell everyday. He is also playing Jr. Jazz this year with Trevon. Jackson also is a huge Bronco fan, even though he slept through a quarter when we took him to the game.
Taylor will be two in January. She is such a girly girl. Life for her revolves around purses, shoes, and her babies. But don't be fooled, with two older brothers she is a tough little thing. In fact she is usually the instigator and she loves to tease the boys. Taylor is talking in sentences now, although sometimes I have to translate for people.
As a family we were able to take a trip to Disneyland with my parents and sisters. The kids had such a great time with Mama Becky and Papa Bob and all the aunts. I am sure it will be a vacation they will remember for years to come.
This year we have been extremely blessed and we can feel the love of our Lord and our friends and family daily. We pray that this coming year will bring much joy and happiness.
