Last Post Today, I Promise! The SNOW!

While we were in Utah for Christmas the kids were out in the Snow everyday....ALL day! The boys built a sledding hill, in my parents backyard, that the kids could slide down. They loved it!

Derek didn't last as long as the other kids outside, but he was sure cute in his gear.

Judd and Jaren playing with the kids on the hill.

Jayden and Aubrey going down the hill together!

Hailey never could keep that ear warmer on her ears! It didn't seem to bother her though.

Jayden has so much fun with his cousins. I love that he has so many to be around!

It is never too cold to jump on the tramp!

Jaren spent most of one night pulling all the kids in the sled around Grandma's backyard. They just wouldn't let him stop. He got his workout in that night. Who needs a hill when you have Uncle Jaren.

Christmas Time! Better Late that Never!

I put this at the top because it is so funny. Us girls thought it would be funny to wrap some lingerie and put it under the tree from my Dad to my Mom. My dad just played right along, it was hilarious!

These are the cute boys in my family. I have six brothers (Mark missing in the picture) and one brother-in-law so far, also my cute Dad, and my HOT husband. J/K...really he is hot though. :)My little brother Stephen had knee surgery the Friday before we came so this is what it took to get a seat in the house.

Jayden's school had a store this year and he was able to buy presents for his family and Grandparents. This was one of the highlights of my Christmas. He was so excited to give the presents that he picked out. This is him giving his presents to my parents. I thought it was so sweet.

Christmas is so much fun when your kids are small and they get so excited! I love it!

Santa left all the stockings on the couch!!!

On Christmas Eve we all opened PJ's. Hailey got kitty PJ's and Derek and Jayden got matching Batman PJ's.

Some of the gang in their PJ's.

Elder Keith Jensen comes HOME!!!

We had a huge group at the airport to meet my little brother when he came home from his Mission to Florida. It was the 23rd of December so we all got an early Christmas present. We were sure EXCITED, especially the little kids!

Keith was really excited too.

We all rode in my brothers RV to and from the airport. It was a blast to be all together! The kids all wanted to be by Keith.

This picture was not posed. This is really how my little brother is. He is always playing with the kids and they adore him. It has been about two week since we saw Him and Hailey still asks to see him every day. WE LOVE YOU KEITH!

Escape to Mexico!!!!!! FINALLY!!

At the first part of the year Judd surprised me with a Cruise to Mexico for our 8th Anniversary! This is one of the Formal Nights on the ship!

We had a really fun group including: my big brother Jaren and his wife Britney, their friends and now ours Natalie and Paul, Some of our closest friends Jill and Paul, and my parents. It was such a great group of people. Britney dominated the karaoke doing her dances. Everyone on the ship knew her. I was surprised that people weren't getting her autograph. Jill and Britney both made it to the final competition for Karaoke superstars...Jill made it because of her skill singing and Britney because everyone loved her. It was so fun. Jill also made it to the championship ping pong match...she is quite the multi-talented girl. Everyone was so much fun to be with!!!

On Judd's 30th birthday.....that's right I said 30!!!!!.....we were at Mazatlan. This was my most fun port. We tried a little bit of everything. We kayaked out to a private Island and explored. We tried some para-sailing (very cool but a little scary)! We also did boogie boarding. It was a blast!!! Happy Birthday Judd!!

Me and Jill......Miss you tons already....When is our next trip???

Judd and I Celebrated our 8th Anniversary!! and instead of telling you all how much I love him I will just show you!!

Judd would kill me for this... He hates PDA!!! I love it...especially the lady in the background looking at us!

This is the whole gang on one of the formal nights.

We stopped at a scenic view on our way up to the Zip line place. We did the mountain top to mountain top extreme zip lines. There were 12 of them ranging from 200 and something feet to 1600 and something feet. It was a blast!! They wouldn't let us tack pictures...they wanted us to buy theirs for 40$$.

Last but not least of my memories from the trip is our new friends Kim and Mike. We had so much fun getting to know them and I think we will stay in touch. They were so nice and we just clicked right from the start. Kim and I met during the lifeboat drill on the first night. Don't they look like so much fun. Miss you both:)!!!
