Snow Day!  I don't recall getting this much snow for along time. This was a few days before Christmas, looks like we'll have a white Christmas afterall!

 Our annual Kay Christmas Party. There is enough people here, that you would think it was a ward Christmas party. It's a tradition that I hope will never end.

 It doesn't matter how old you are... Everyone enjoys a hug from Santa!

It's also our tradition that all the kids (cousins) exchange Christmas Ornaments.  We have an amazingly talented girl that Angie knows that has been making our ornaments for the past couple years.  They are so cute, the picture doesn't do them justice.  Trust me they are way cute!

Santa has dropped by.

December was great fun.  It was great to have everyone home.  We played alot and tried to make everyday count.

Livin' like we have alot of time and money... HaHa

So the weekend that we came back from our cruise, we got a wim and decided to go to St. George for the HomeShow with Kristy and her family.  So we loaded up the van and off we went again!  It wasn't the best weekend for sun in St. George, but we had fun anyway!

We stopped in Cedar and surprised Talysha for our weekend venture.

This is her lovely home away from home

I don't have to many pictures, the rest are on Talysha's camera.  But we had a great time!

Cruisin' on the Carribean

So yes, I know it's now April... But better late than never. These pictures are of our super fun cruise that we did in February. We went on the Southern Carribean and it was so nice.  I can't believe it has been 3 months already. We went with my mom and her friends, Marty and Kandas Palmer, Chris and Lynelle Memmott, Kevin's sister Vicki and her husband Bud, his sister Gayle, Aunt Bonnie, my Aunt and Uncle Bob and some of their friends.   

confession...

Ok so I didn't get through the year... but I did change my background! And I am ready to put some Christmas 2009 pictures on, so readers get ready!

WRONG POSTING ORDER

These posts are detailing last year, but they loaded in the wrong order. So go to the one titled "Posting the Past" and read up from there! :)

we took advantage of some snow days!
Then there was our famous St. George trip, just the girls... What goes on in St. George... STAYS in St. George!

This is the house that we rented in St. George, we had alot of fun!
Then we get into Easter.

And then, we get a new addition to the family... Little Nixon.

January was Region Drill- of course Juab took it all! They were great.

Drill team competitions also started in December. It was a busy time of year.

December also brought along the Senior Ball. Talysha's date was Jay Sutherland. She had a lot of fun and looked like my little princess all grown up! Her dress was really pretty, one more event come and gone! :(

Posting the past!

Well, you know me... always a day late and a dollar short! Me and this blogging thing do not go well together. I'll try to remember how to do this. What I actually set out to accomplish is organizing all my pictures that I have put on my computer and have neglected getting them developed. I got a hopefully good deal on a computer on Black Friday and I need to get all of my pics off my old computer so that is what my night is going to be consisting of because I am home alone, well not actually alone. Jaylon is in the other room but it is just like being alone. Anyways, I am looking at how fast time goes by and decided while I was organizing my pictures I would surprise all my many followers and update my blog. But what current pictures do I have? I have none really on this computer because that is another one of my issues that I have not put my pictures from my camera lately on the computer. So yes, time does fly!! it has been a fast year for us. So my updated post is posting the past! But what a great year it has been!

These pics are of our Kay family Christmas party, we have had this party every since I was little and every year our family gets bigger and bigger. But as you can see, my "little ones" still like sitting on Santa's lap.

This is a picture of my aunts and uncles on my Kay side of the family. Alot can happen in a years time, we lost my Aunt LuDean a few months ago, my cousin Mike earlier in the year. It makes you realize how precious these family gatherings are each year.

Soon Christmas was over and done. We moved into January with Shaylee having to have surgery on her ankle (again!).

Well, the biggest reason that I joined the blogging world was because my future had some exciting upcoming events that I could put on, but those events have now come and gone and I have not did the blogging update. So here it goes....

In May we took the fam on the Baja Mexico Cruise. (minus the Mexico - due to the swine flu) It was a 4 day cruise that went to Catalina Island and was supposed to go to Encinada, but had 3 days on the ship. We had alot of fun going with friends and all my family except the Morgans. All the kids had a blast and now have the cruisin fever just like their dad!
