Christmas is over

I am so glad that Christmas is over. I am tired of all the opening of presents and missed sleep. The kids had fun. They woke up at 8:00. Val's family came over, yea that was fun. I'm ready for a new year to start to end this crappy 2007 year I have had

Christmas Eve

We were supposed to have a friend of ours come over for dinner last night but she didn't call or show up so we were kind of mad about that. We had gone to Costco and got a spiral sliced ham and potato's and stuff. So We are going to have a lot of left overs. Than we went to Susan's next. It was fun. There was some good things there. A lot of movies. Rylie had the last pick last night so she grabbed this fire engine M&M thing. We are going over to dad and Shauna's tonight. Were not going to go over to Grandma Tapp's tomorrow. We might go over to Grandma and Grandpa Doyle's instead for breakfast. On a sad note, Val's mom called her a couple of days ago and her dad has prostrate cancer. That's two people in our family with that. I will be happy when tomorrow's over. I am at work today which stinks because I have 7 loads to put away. Well anyways everyone have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas is a comin

Man it's been awhile since I wrote last. We have been trying to get all of the last minute shopping done. I just sent off Ben and Heathers Christmas present today. Hopefully it will be there by the 24th. I have been fighting off a a sinus infection and a little bit of a cold. All of the kids have been sick at one time or other especially Peyton. Val has been losing sleep because Peyton will wake up in the middle of the night and go out in the living room. I don't even here Peyton. I have been playing indoor soccer the last couple of months. We haven't won a game yet but it's been fun. I might try to get on another team in January. Shawn has been practicing with his basketball team. They don't look to bad. I think his first game is in January. I think the only thing left for Christmas is to get Val her gift. I haven't had time to go get it.

My Birthday

Well today is my 31st birthday. My Dad, Mom, Shauna, Julia, Bryce and Grandma and Grandpa Doyle came over last night for dinner. We had Taco Soup. My cake was a Oreo Ice cream cake and it was so good.

I was scratching Val's back last nigh and I showed Peyton this mole and Val's back and Peyton's walked up to it and touched it and said, "Mommy, that's disgusting." It was hilarious. I start coaching Shawn in his Jr. Jazz stuff this week. It's at the same time as our ward Christmas party, so I will miss some of that. We were supposed to play football on Saturday but it snowed pretty good and a lot of people didn't show up. Marshall Stanclift was going to come but he decided it was to cold to play football.

They just added 2 more wards to our stake which is scary because that leaves me with trying to organize games for 12 wards for both the men and young men. I was talking to my dad about it and he told me that I need to let them know that I either need more assistants our they need to assign someone else to handle the young men

Birthday and Thanksgiving

Peyton had a really good second birthday. She got a lot of clothes. Her favorite thing was the Magna Doodle she got. She only wanted to play with it and nothing else. Thanksgiving was good except for not playing football. I showed up for our ward turkey bowl and there were just to many people there so I went home. Marshall and Ryan told me we were going to have a turkey bowl and promised that they would call me and tell me but of course I never got a call. I was really good to see Ben, Heather and Kyle. Heather took us up in the canyon to take our family picture. It was pretty cold up there, about 25 degrees. Val was sad that Heather left. She called her and she cried. Val and her have a sisterly bond which is great.

Work

I am at work right now helping Will with putting this grip tape stuff on the locations so the bins don't move in there locations. I will be here till about 11:00 this morning. Than I will take Val to work and than go play football with my buddies from work. Marshall and Ryan said they were going to come play but they haven't called me back after leaving 3 messages. We will be celebrating Peyton's 2nd birthday tomorrow. Our little baby id growing up so fast. I am looking forward to next week because I get to have a 4 day weekend.

The kids had fun trick or treating lst week. Everyone loved Peyton's Care Bear costume. A.J. was a ninja and Rylie was a princess fairy. We had our football banquet last Saturday at Rock Creek pizza. It was alright but seemed a little pricey to me. They played the football highlight video there also. I didn't see much of it because the boys were standing in front of me. I know that Shawn was savoring that day with his buddies because most of them will still be in Junior high next year and he will be in High school. I got a new guy working with me. His name is Mike Tucker. Ben knows who he is. He used to work here before a went on his mission. He is working out pretty good back here with me. Better that that last guy. Peyton's birthday is going to be coming up here pretty soon in a couple of weeks which will be crazy to think that she will be 2.
