Ooops!

If anyone has ever wondered what a car looks like after hitting a deer on the freeway going 80mph looks like this is it.....

We were coming home from my mom's last Wednesday when we got to the Summit exit. Preston was driving and I turned to see if Zach was asleep. Next thing I know I hear a big crash. We pulled over and this is the result. Luckily we are all ok, except for the car, and it was a lot better than it could have been.

Happy New Year!

Sorry this is picture overload. It is also very confusing and out of order, but it's mostly for my memories so sorry. This top picture is of Preston and I after hitting a ramp.

Isn't he so cute!

Amy and me at the bottom of the hill.

Another cute one.

I showed Zach that he could eat snow and since he loves eating that's all he wanted to do for the rest of the time.

Group shot yelling SNOW!

Preston and Zach which Zach screamed all the way down. We tried it again as a family with Zach in the middle and he loved that.

We went sledding today for New Years. We took our family, my sister Amy and her son Scott and my other nephew Gideon. We found a really fun slope in Parowan. Even my sister got in the action despite her not wearing any snow clothes.

Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas!

It was Preston's birthday on Christmas Eve and this is the cake that we picked for him.
Christmas morning was really fun. Zach was so excited to see his tent that Santa brought him.

Santa also brought him a cowboy costume.

This is how excited he was to see all of his presents from santa. I hope everybody had as good as Christmas as we did.

Christmas Program

We went to watch my nephew at his church Christmas program. When we were waiting to start this old lady told Zach that he should go sit with the rest of the kids. Before I knew it he was at the top sitting by Scott. He didn't really know what was going on or any of the songs, but that's what made it funny. In the middle of the program Scott had to go on stage because he was a shepard so Zach followed him and just stood there front and center staring at baby Jesus. It was really funny.

Let it Snow!

It snowed! We let the boys play out in my mom's yard while we took pictures. I love Zach's little snow suit. We bought it 3-4 months ago for dirt cheap so it doesn't get better than that.

This is a picture of a snowball that Preston threw from the porch that landed on Zach's head.

It was very cold so we only played for a little bit, but Zach loved it.

Super seniors and first dates

The foreign language club at Canyon View held their annual Sadie Hawkins dance. It was a Halloween dance which I thought was crazy since it was a week after Halloween. Anyway Preston had to chaperon the dance and his teacher that he student teaches with told him to bring Zach and me. Zach was so excited he got to wear his dinosaur costume again. Mrs. Duncan's little girl said she would be Zach's date so she dressed up as Wilma Flinstone. Preston's little sister came to stay the weekend and asked Mrs. Duncan's son to the dance. Maybe I should have stayed home so Preston could have gone with Mrs. Duncan. The decorations were impressive and I told Mrs. Duncan that it was decorated better then my prom. Zach got very tired around 10:30. Let's hope he is like this when he is in high school.

Malory and Braxton dressed up as a 50's couple.

Zach on his first date!

Halloween

We had a really fun Halloween this year. I only had to work the last half of the shift so I was able to celebrate. Zach was so excited for about a week before. He even woke up from his nap saying "boo" over and over.
We went to Paragonah to go with Scott. We first went trunk or treating at their ward and then we decided to take the boys door to door. Zach had a great time and every time someone would open the door he would just walk right into their house. Preston even dressed up as Edward Scissorhands which scared a little princess but other than that it was a hit. Zach only got scared at two houses which I thought was a success since there were some pretty scary decorations.
