Happy New Year!!!

This year we spent New Years down in St. George with Brandon's entire family. We all spent almost an entire week there and we ALL stayed in Brandon's parents house. It was a little crowded, but we had a great time shopping, eating, playing games, and rockin out with the Wii Rockband.
Happy New Year! WOO HOO!!! We rang in the new year at about 10 pm so we could put the kids to bed. Wild and Crazy I know.



Nick and Brandon had the vocals down, while Tara and Ashley rocked the guitar, and Jeremy played a mean set of drums.
This is my favorite rock band of all time ... they weren't too bad either.
On New Year's day everyone headed down to Vegas for shopping and dinner, except for our little family. We opted to stay in St. George (due to the whole nightmare of taking 3 kids shopping and to dinner) and took the girls to a jumping place where they had a blast.

We also hit the pool while we were in St. George. I think it's always weird to go swimming in the winter, but it was fun to see Ryder's first experience in the swimming pool.

Let's just say Ryder didn't enjoy it as much as the girls did.

Ryder enjoyed chillin' poolside in his new swim trunks. I think I'm going to buy him a speedo just to see Brandon's reaction.

What a fun post! That all looks like so much fun! I LOVE having all of my family crammed into one house for a weekend. It IS crowded and crazy, but SO much fun!

Ryder is a CHUNK! What cute boy!

Looks like you guys had a great holiday season. You have done a tone of fun things and have a TON of family around - wow! That's awesome. Hope you are all doing well. Your girls are darling as usual and Ryder is growing up so fast and so cute. Hope to see you soon.

We were also in St. George on New Year's Day on our way home from Cali. ROck Band seems to be the "thing" this year - we are the odd balls who don't have it. Hope to see you soon at some dance competitions.
