The John Family Christmas party '11

This Games was pretty funny to watch! (A minute to win it one) place Vaseline on your nose and move the cotton balls from one plate to the other with no hands! All the kids had so much fun playing this one!

Sierra got this Baby Doll and loved it so much she hasn't put it down yet! It even came to church with us this morning.

Kaitlyn got Polly pockets which I'm pretty sure most girls love to play with!!!!

We of course did our annual left and right Christmas story, the kids always love this game!

In this game you place the cookie on your head and move it to your mouth without using hands or dropping it! Than you get to eat it! fastest one gets and extra treat!

mason and his uncle Levi had fun moving a Christmas ornament around and rope as quickly as possible.

We enjoyed and wonderful Christmas party with good food, Raffle drawing for fun Christmas ornaments, and tons of fun games! Cant wait to do it all again next year!

Our Christmas Cottage '11

Our Christmas cottage was a flop this year "sigh" so we ate it right after! We still had a lot of fun but it just didn't hold up or look that great! "smile"

Moab 2011

We went to Moab for a wedding it was are first time there so we did a little sight seeing too! We will be making a trip out in the summer because it was cold this time around! It was so beautiful!! Cant wait to take some time and hike around a bit more!

Mason was always getting into trouble! The ranger had to talk to us several times! No throwing rocks, no walking on the sand, stay on trials, etc.

If you look at the pic above small up front is the Bride & Groom lol

our spooky pumkins '11

Carving pumpkins is very stressful for me but it did get done this year! few! my kids are just still to young for this, a lot of tears were shed this night because things didn't turn out just like the patterns!

he...he...he...

I had to post this one too! lol

our halloween '11

The kids had way to much candy between our ward trunk or treat and Monday night trick or treating! all in all it was a great Halloween even though Mason was sick throwing up most of the day Monday! (he did however feel well enough to do some trick or treating that night)

Shaylee really didn't like her make up job that her Dad did but she wore it anyway lol

Mason loved to wear his mask surprisingly although, he kept running into things because he couldn't see that well!

Fall Family hike

Stewart Falls

It is so nice to get out and do one last family hike before winter comes along with the cold air! the fall colors were beautiful! we all enjoyed this hike so much and thankful that even my parent got to join us on this one!

Lake Powell Trip Oct. 2011

We stopped at Goblin Valley! Surprisingly the kids really LOVE it!!!

This is my brothers kids that along with us! Its so fun to hang out with family!

My kids loved playing in the sand!

I jumped off a 30-40 something ft cliff I was so proud of myself!!! Jeremy got to try and ride an Air chair which was kinda fun to watch! we did lost of swimming and just enjoyed the fun in the sun!
