HaPpY NeW YeAr!!!!!!!

New Year Day started out with Kevin making breakfast. I wouldn't know though, cuz I was still in bed. lol

The kids really seemed to enjoy their waffles. Little girl is Kevin and Leesa's oldest Gracie. Tristan sure had quite the crush on her. It was cute to see him follow her around.

Kelly and her little girl Kira. She changed her outfit every ten minutes. It was so cute. She is quite the princess. What will she do when mommy has this baby?:)

After breakfast we went over to the pool. Love having the indoor pool for the winter. Kevin and Gracie in this photo.

The Jetties....with Kelly in the backround.:)

In the evening Kelly and Leesa prepared fondue for all of us. We each had brough our own fondue makers down. They did a pesto cheese to dip bread in, and two flavored oils to cook shrimp, steak, and hotdogs in. Then they cleaned them out to do dessert. Dessert was a chocolate dip for bananas, then roll them in nuts. And a caramel dip for apples. It was tasty! We had a really great time. Hope everyone had a Happy New Year!

New Year Eve

After spending several wonderful days together it was time for our friends to meet up with us for the weekend. We ordered pizza and played games when they got there while we waited to ring in the New Year.

This year will be a great one! I am so lucky to have Das and the boys in my life. And maybe this will be the year to add to the family.:)

Because eveyone can see how much Tristan and Ashton love their dad. He has been a great dad and I am excited to see what this year holds for us.

AVATAR

Das and I took the boys to go see Avatar in 3D. The boys loved it. We did too. At some points Tristan would take his glasses off and plug his ears. But every movie should be in 3D. Really made it come alive.

But gee the glasses sure look funny.:)

Chilling in St. George

I took the week off of work to spend with Sue and the boys down at her parents condo in St. George. We got down her Monday night, unpacked and met up with Steve Meyers at Iggy's to watch the Bears game. Great game! Happy to see Brett Favre go down. Tuesday we just relaxed. Spent a couple of hours at the pool.

Today we are gonna take the kids to a movie and possibly go down to the pool again. Sue made her famous spaghetti last night and having it for leftovers tonight. Then tomorrow we have Joe and Kelly Johanasen, and Kevin and Leesa Mansouri coming to spend the weekend. It is nice to relax and have some quality family time before I leave for the UK next week.
