I told Raider earlier this week that I was ready for Christmas to be over. Well now that it is over and the tree is down I am sad it's over. Connor and Parker usually come into our room in the morning. Well on Christmas we woke up to Connor saying Christmas as the light went on. We told him he had to wait till Parker was up as Raider rounded the couch he saw Parker on his car trying to make it go. I thought that Connor would like the X box and want to play it like he does the Wii. Well he doesn't all he wants is his Wii.

Grandpa Jeppson came up for a visit. We went to Temple Square to see the lights. I didn't bring my camera and my kids were not going to sit still long enough or even look at the camera for Erika. Thanks for trying for me, and feeding Parker.

Why do kids feel they need to share their snacks with the dog? I guess it's better than Parker pouring it all over her again.

Tonight was the Light Parade in Kaysville. I am not to big on parades but its family bondage ( or family time for those you don't like that phrase). And thank goodness it only about 10 minutes long unlike the 4 of July's 2 hour long parade. Thanks Dad for hanging out with us,

Erika invited us to go sledding. All I can say is I need to go and get better winter gear. I have stuff for the boys well most of it but as for me and Raider we got nothing. Parker wanted nothing to do with the cold, so we sat in the car in the warmth. Thanks Erika for braving the cold and entertaining Connor.

GUESS WHAT?????

Many of you know but for those who don't I ran my half marathon today. Carrie and I froze. I had on two pairs of pants and 3 shirts and a jacket. We did warm up but let me tell you even though blood is flowing through your body and makes you warm it never makes it to your bum. As you can see on my watch it took us 2 hours and 34 minutes and we burned 1675 calories. We had Thanksgiving at my Mom's this year. The food was delicious as well as the pie. After dinner Delaine and Great Grandma Stahle and I played a matching game.

Parker helped my mom make whip cream. He quite enjoyed cleaning up.

This is the second year that Stacie and I have gone to Inkley's to take Halloween pictures. You get a free 4x6. Connor is Optimus Prime( not sure on spelling) and Parker is a dragon. We tried with out the sucker didn't work once he got it he went over and sat down. As some of you know Connor like Transformers. Every time he see a yellow Camaro he thinks it is Bumble bee. He yells Sam and kayla. Young's is across the street form Inkley's and he saw the yellow Camaro. What do you all think he said? Yep " It's Bumble Bee it's Bumble Bee Sam Kayla". I should have been prepared and taken my camera. I could have taken his picture by the Camaro. I wonder what kind of looks we would have got from the sales man.
