Happy Holidays

My Brother-in-law decorated his yard for the Holidays. It looked awesome. Here are the boys posing for Grandpa Canham.

Grandpa and Grandma

My parents were here for Christmas. They had not been to Utah for Christmas in 20 years. We had a lot of fun and got very spoiled. Thanks Mom and Dad!!

Christmas Morning

Christmas 2009

Christmas Eve we all open our ornaments and new pjs.
This is Christmas Adam. We had our big Christmas dinner this night with the Baughs and my parents were here visiting for Christmas.
This is the boys right before Church. They sang in sacrament and Brandon got to ring a bell in one of the songs they sang.

Playing the Piano

The boys each learned some new Christmas songs on the piano this year. Brandon's is from the festival of trees. He can play much better then this I just don't have it on tape. Benjamin's is from the piano recital that they had on Dec. 22nd.

Festival of trees

Every year we go to the Festival of Trees. The boys have played piano there two years in a row now. It is a great time to be together as a family.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

We put up the tree and all the decorations on Thanksgiving Day. This is us decorating our tree.

Pow Wow

The boys learned about Native Americans in school in the month of November. The had a Pow Wow the day before Thanksgiving brake. There was lots of things for them to do. We also found a very easy way to make scones using Rhodes Rolls. They have become a favorite at our house.

Carving Pumpkins

Halloween

Here are pictures from Halloween. Brandon was Darth Vader and Benjamin was a Storm Trooper.

Update

Alright everyone I need to apologize for the lack of posts to our blog. As you know we started our own company in June and so that has taken a lot of time. Also vinyl season began in September. Yes there is a season for vinyl lettering and it is Sept-Dec. Now that vinyl has slown way down we are back in the swing of things and I am going to update our blog today. So I hope you don't get overwhelmed with the amount of photos that will be posted today. Enjoy. P.S. You can also check out photos on my facebook page.

First Day of Kindergarten

Well, the day has finally arrived. The boys were so excited for their first day of school. They looked so grown up as we walked over to the school. They were told by the teacher's to wear their favorite shirt today. Benjamin picked his new G.I Joe shirt. Brandon wore his Utah Jersey. There were two reason for this choice. One because he loves his UTES and two because tonight is also Utah's first game of the season. I told him that I had bought him new things for the first day of school and he informed me that "football is more important." They also told me last night that it was ok if I cried when I dropped them off. I have to admit I got a little anxious as they walked through the door, but no tears. They are more then ready and this mom was also more then ready for them to start school. I will post later and let you all know what great adventures were had to day.
