What have we been up to?

We have had a nice December so far. The weather has been unseasonably warm and nice, but today it has taken a turn. We woke up to snow and the wind blowing, but I guess it's about time. Now Riley will be able to take the kids skiing at least. We had a nice Thanksgiving this year with Riley's parents and brother Cullen. We were down in Fruita, Co. I didn't take many pictures though. Riley hung out a lot with his dad and brother shooting guns, golfing and watching a lot of sports. Spencer and Macy tagged along for the gun shooting. Spencer also went golfing while grandma Debbie took Hannah and Macy to an inside gym where there is rock climbing and jungle gyms and things of that sort. Macy is a good little climber. On black Friday Debbie and I got up at 4:15 a.m. to hit the stores. I got up for one thing and was so happy that I really got it. We had fun shopping and getting some good deals. I also was able to reread the 6th Harry Potter. I haven't read it for a long time and had forgotten a lot of stuff in the 6th and 7th books.

Spencer has been wrestling again this winter. Tuesday is his last day. He is a pretty good wrestler, but tries to win by his brute strength only sometimes. He is fun to watch because he is pretty intense. He also loves school and playing with his friends. I can't believe he is going to be six in a few days, but I'll post later on that event.

Macy has also been busy with school, piano and swim team. She will be done with swim team on Thursday thank goodness. She just started Jr. Jazz this morning, so that's going to be and every Saturday at 8 a.m. event no sleeping in for us.

We also have had fun decorating the house for Christmas and all the things that come during this time of year. We have lots of kids homemade Christmas decorations on the tree. I love seeing there cute decorations they have made through out the years. We haven't been able to put presents under the tree because little Hannah would have them all opened by now. I am almost done with shopping and making presents and all that fun stuff, which really is just exhausting. We have already had our ward party and last night Riley had a work dinner party. Riley and I were also able to go to the Jazz game on Thursday against Portland. We had the best seats ever. We were on the 2nd row right by the Portland bench, so we could hear the coaches and players during the whole game. We also let a few people know that they could probably spot us on TNT if they knew where to look. We both got a few calls and messages on our phones that they could see us.

I am now 27 weeks pregnant and things are going well. I can now keep up with house work and kids again which is so nice. I have to say those first 20 weeks can be pretty depressing when you feel like crap. I am so thankful for good health and a healthy family.

Hannah just goes with the flow. She loves Jammie time as we call it, and stayed in her p.j's all day yesterday. Every time I asked her if she wanted clothes on she would get all stressed and say she just wanted jammie time, so I let her.

I think today is going to be an indoor day. Riley took the kids over to the church to play basketball. I am blogging and then finally going to see the Twilight movie later. Riley is going to take Spencer to the Jazz game tonight and that will end our busy week.

It was so great to have the family over for Thanksgiving. We had alot of fun even if Cullen made Macy and I stop singing after an hour. I guess we sounded good to ourselves only!! I love to have children in the house again. It makes you feel young and alive. Love you all, see you soon..
