{ Fun in Vegas }

Back in December Chace and I went to Vegas with some of his family to the National Finals Rodeo. Every year Chaces mom gets Rodeo tickets from a lady she works with. It has been a few years sense we last went to the Rodeo and my mom bring so nice to take off work to watch Ryker for us we were able to go:) We hit the BIG outdoor malls to get some Christmas shopping done while we were there :)

We went one night to the Rodeo and John Michael Montgomery sang the National anthem. We had a great time :) Check out the cool video clip

Special Day

This was a special day for our family especially for my brother and his family. The plan was as soon as Kasey & Karen got Mac & Marleigh to the United States they were taking them to the Temple to have them sealed for time and all eternity.. It was a amazing experience and one I'll never forget. Our family is so thankful that Mac & Marleigh are with us knowing that they just barley missed the earthquake in Haiti were they lived in the orphanage 3 weeks ago ! Our Heavenly father has truly blessed our family.

Our Family was so happy that day :) The kids had a fun time being at the temple too!

Our busy day started off with family photos. We kind of went at a bad time of day with the sun and all but they turned ok I guess:)

SnOw FuN !!!

Ryker and dad were having some fun in the snow. They tryed making a snow man but the snow was to soft so they decided to try to have a snow ball fight ! Ryker thought that was funny:) Then they decided to have some fun with the sleigh and 4-wheeler.
Ryker loved it!! We made sure to buy a sleigh early this year because in past years they sell out so fast !!! and I'm glad we did:)

CHRISTMAS 2009

These to cuties are my new niece and nephew !!!

My brother adopted them from Haiti and they finally got to bring them home after a 2 1/2 year wait on Christmas Eve !!! It was the best Christmas gift we all could have asked for :)

Christmas Eve we ate at my mom & dad's. We had BBQ pork sandwiches,salads,crackers and dips,little smokies it was sure good ! afterwards we went to Bronsons grave to put the candle bags it's something we have done every year to remember our brother who we love and miss so much :)

Ryker was afraid to go to sleep Christmas Eve because he was afraid that Santa's Jingle bells were going to wake him up! So Christmas morning Chace went in to wake Ryker and asked him if he wanted to go see what Santa brought him and his response was "Santa's bells didn't even wake me up !!"
After Ryker went down the stairs to see what Santa had brought him with his eyes so big looked at his presents and said "Santa's so nice" Ryker loved all his gifts from Santa. After a little while my parents and Jill & Rylan came over to see what Santa brought us..

Our first stop was to Grandma & Grandpa Petersons house we were so happy to see Grandma Smith there too :) after we visited and grabbed a bit to eat we had to get moving along.

The second stop was to my Grandma & Grandpa Jorgensens house .

By this time Ryker kept asking to go home to play with his toys I felt bad and didn't blame him but we had one more stop to make down to Mapleton to my Grandma & Grandpa Allans house. There we had Christmas lunch and my favorite slushie drink that my grandma only makes on Christmas :)

We had a great day visiting with our families and finally made it home around 4 to let Ryker play with his toys the rest of the night ..
