This is hecka, flippin' funny:

Christmas Music

I'm a little tired of the same old songs. I mean I still love them, but wouldn't mind something new. Does anyone have any suggestions? What are your favorite albums (besides Carpenters, Babs, and Jonny Mathis)? I'm going to get a new CD this year, so give me some ideas and tell me which albums are good.

Thanks!

New Family Addition

Here are some cute pictures of Preston with his eyes open that I wanted to share. He has a budding little afro.

Who has Who for Christmas!

Ok everyone. We drew names. Logan drew them out of a hat for me and Dave wrote them down. If it seems like you always have the same person, or everyone has the same person every year, it's because we've done this for so many years, so we've probably had everyone. Any, we drew the names and here they are:

Pete gives to Landon
Angie gives to Denae
Dave gives to Dustin
Denae gives to Julie
Chad gives to Devin
Julie gives to Pete
Devin gives to Angie
Kim gives to Dave
Dustin gives to Kim
Kaley gives to Chad
Landon gives to Kaley

Merry Christmas!

Hi everyone. Are you all ok with Dave and I picking names out of a hat for christmas gifts?? I want to get it done soon so I can be thinking of the person I have and trying to find something great. I promise we won't cheat. We'll draw the names out of a hat and then post "who has who" on the family blog. Let me know if this is ok.

Girls Varsity Basketball... go Kays!!

Just so everyone knows, Kaley made the varsity basketball team! I knew she would. She's been a b-ball star since she was tiny. It's funny if you think about it. This little girl that can whoop on everyone and has always been able to. I think she was born with it. I mean, what else could she be but a basketball star having 4 older brothers and a dad who love the sport? Anway, great job Kays... you'll do awesome.

Hey!

Well i havnt said anthing for a while so my bad. Just writing cause i just talked to Dad and he told me to blog about my experience with Elder Oaks. Last week Elder Bednar was here and spoke at our devotional. I tried to shake his hand but he took off afterwards and nobody shook his hand. This week it was Elder Oaks. After he spoke i ran up to the stage with max and a couple other people. We ended up gettin in a little line and as we got close, we tried to take a picture with him. He shook my hand and told me that he cant do that cause he'd never finish with the line. I was holding his hand all throughout this little conversation we had. So basically the story is that i shook hands with Elder Oaks and actually got a couple pictures of him. Im tight...later..............O and i have 2 dodgeball games this week, 1 bowling game and 1 basketball game. I might tell you guys how i do if i feel like it. Later!

Scary Halloween Characters

This is what kaley and landon wore to school on halloween day. I can see landon wearing superman, but what 15 year teenage girl would wear a dalmation outfit in front of her peers at school. Hello. But Kaley marches to her own drum and that is what we love about her. Her friends would never do it, but they wish they had the guts to do so. They had fun and yes, Kaley did go trick or treatin with a couple of 14 year old boys (luke bogner and nate lee) because none of her friends would go for the candy. They just wanted to party. And Kaley has told me that boys are more fun to hang out with than girls anyway. We hope you enjoy the pictures. Mom and I just stayed at home and handed out candy and we did have our fog machine hooked up and as the kids came to the door, we would let the fog fly and we did scare some of them................

Finally!

Dev-dawg has jumped on board the blog train. He now has a super cool blog called, For Shizzle. I, personally, really enjoy this title. Anyway, check him out and support!!!
