Our Boy Scout

Carson is in Scouts for the first time this year and has enjoyed every minute of it. About a month ago Carson has his 1st Pine Wood Derby and had such a great time making his car and racing against all the other scouts. He actually did really well for his first year.

To Be Better

I have been thinking about New Year Resolutions a lot this month. I usually don't make them and I am not going to now. Instead I am going to make a Goal for myself and that is TO BE BETTER.

Become a BETTER Person that I am comfortable with.
Be BETTER at helping others.
Have a BETTER relationship with my MOM
Be BETTER about spending time with my kids
Be BETTER at telling the people in my life just how much I Love and Appreciate them
Be BETTER with money
Be BETTER at knowing that its the small things that really count

Just BE BETTER....

Sometimes I just have to be ok with Abbi dressing herself!

December Recap (took me a week to finally get this posted)

December was a Busy, Crazy, Fun, Enjoyable month for us, here is our month in review. (Warning Big Post)

Christmas Dance Recital

Abbi she has become such a good little dancer, we are so proud of her.



Weekend with the Kershaw's

When I was younger it was our family tradition to go to dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory and then go see the lights in Temple square. I was so happy that my sister and her family came down for the weekend so we could carry on that tradition.

Gingerbread House and Baking Cookies

The kids love to put together a gingerbread house every year. We never eat it but it gives the kids something to do and it makes a cute decoration for Christmas.





Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with Jaime's Family. It has been a Weaver Family Tradition to read Christmas books and this year was no different. Everyone from youngest to oldest reads a book they choose. Of course Jaime and most of his brothers choose the books with 6 pages and 5 words on each page but it has been one tradition I look forward to every year.

Christmas Morning



The kids got up around 7:30am

Santa brought Carson a new bike, Legos, Clothes, and Utah Utes stuff.



Santa brought Abbi an American Girl Bitty Baby, clothes, Easel and crayon and paper to draw with.



The rest of Christmas Day we spent visiting family. We had a wonderful Christmas.

The kids and I went to Idaho for a few days to see my mom before she moved to South Dakota. We enjoyed visiting with my family and the kids enjoyed playing with cousins.

In the eye's of children we find the
Joy Of Christmas.
In their hearts
we find its meaning

Carson Is 10!

Wednesday was Carson's 10th Birthday. I can't believe that my little boy is already 10. It seems like not to long ago the nurse put him in my arms for the first time and I knew I had a special boy. Carson is the life of the party at our house. He is always doing or saying something silly to make us laugh. He can always put a smile on our faces. We Love you Carson!!
