We will all miss this wonderful man. I am so happy for him that he got to go home to his wife, and I can just imagine the reception he recieved in heaven.

Santa

I know Christmas is over but I thought everyone would get a kick out of this story. Drew is a no-nonsense kind of child and if something does not make sense or seem possible than it isn't real. So here is a conversation we had a week before Christmas, as we are all driving down the road:

Drew: Mom did you know Santa isn't real?

Braydon: What? (in a panicked tone)

Drew: Santa isn't real Braydon.

Braydon: YES HE IS DREW!!!!

Me: Drew, who told you Santa isn't real?

Drew: No one told me that. You and Dad buy our presents, you hide them in the barn and you tell us they are from Santa.

Braydon:What? (looking at me in terror and disbelief.

Me: Drew, santa brings you one present and me and dad buy the rest and we hide them from you in the barn.

Braydon: SEE DREW.

At this point Drew is starting to feel bad for Braydon and says Fine, while she rolls her eyes. Then she whispers under breath "ya, and reindeer can really fly"

A little while later Braydon was explaining about the tooth fairy and Drew looked at him like he was loosing his ever loving mind. She says "a fairy is going to fly in my window and take a tooth from under my pillow?" There was no way in hell she was going to buy that.

Faith and Kevin

We just found out that Faith is going to have a baby. She is due the fourth of July. They are going to have such a cute baby!!!! I can't wait.

Mike and Jordynn

Jordynn decided the other night that she wanted to play peek-a-boo with Uncle Mike. She was so funny. She would pull the hat down and run toward him and when he would pull it up she would die laughing. We did this for a loooooong time.

Kangaroos

Do you remember doing this when we were kids? They took the pillowcases off and pretended to be Kangaroos and jumped around the house. It was so funny.

Aren't they so much cuter when they are asleep and they can't talk back? (not just the kids!!!)

This is my niece Jaydon (Garrett and Brionnas little girl). She is so sweet and I really wish they lived closer. I love this look she gives when you ask her to smile.

Two Blondes!!!!!!!!!

Mandy and I went to Show Low last week and we went into Sears to look for a washing maching I was getting for my Mom and Dad. My mom and dad have propane in there house but evidently you are really stupid if you go into Sears and ask the salesman to see the gas powered Washing Machines. We found that out the hard way and Richie will not let us live it down. For some reason the two of us are a lot dumber when we are together.

Should I be Worried???

Everytime Drew sees a camera she automatically goes into a Pose like these. I am a little concerned.

Braydon went to Lake Powell over New Years with Grandpa Finch. It was for work but they had a lot of fun.

More Snow!!!

We got more snow last week. It has been a great year. Especially since this was supposed to be a completely dry winter. As ALWAYS, Drew will sit and watch from a safe distance.
