The boys got to sit on Santa's lap at the ward Christmas Breakfast.  




On Christmas Eve, the boys opened their Christmas Jammies and we headed over to Grandma Dixie's house for brinner and early presents with the cousins.  




Then we came home and did the usual traditions.




The boys woke up EARLY (5:30) - which meant that Rex and I got approximately 3 hours of sleep - and dug into their presents.  Cade's big present from Santa was a slide and Aiden and Sam's was the Skylanders XBox game with a bunch of action figures.  Rex and I got a new TV and entertainment center.  Thank you, Santa. :-)







"Foddle" our Elf on the Shelf left Aiden an ornament made out of the Christmas tree stump, per Aiden's request.  I wish I had taken a picture of the letter Aiden wrote to the elf, but it was something along the lines of, "Hey, you're an elf.  You're better at woodwork than I am so turn this tree stump into something cool, like a train or something."




All three boys got some very powerful - it turned out - nerf guns for Christmas.  By the expression on Aiden's face, I'm sure it will teach them to protect the innocent and ... other good stuff... right??



Cade got a very cool Thomas the Train ship wreck track that Aiden and Sam were more than happy to help him play with.

Some Time Away in Paradise

Rex and I went to Maui, Hawaii together, just the two of us!  It's times like this when we get to see the value of him traveling so much - the plane trip and hotel were completely paid for with points.  Cha-ching!  Rex totally spoiled me too.  The Mariott we stayed in was fit for a king and queen - a humongous tub, fully stocked kitchen, big comfy bed, an amazing breakfast buffet every morning, a tropical paradise of pools and hot tubs and beautiful flowers every where... a girl could get used to this.   We spent the first night and morning cramming in some homework for our scuba-diving certification class.  The next 2 days were spent at the scuba shop and in the ocean, passing off drills and skills needed to not-die.  And good news.  We did not die and completely lost ourselves underwater looking at the beautiful fish and eels and turtles around us.  Okay, just one turtle.  But it was pretty memorable!  I didn...

Mist of Darkness

So now that I have finally caught up with my blogging, I feel that I need to explain where I've been. This blog is mainly for journal purposes, so just ignore this post if it makes you uncomfortable. I've known that I've struggled with depression for five years now. I've been in some dark places in my life with horrible thoughts and temptations, but it's been under control for the most part. I've been "missing" for the past 2 months because I was slowly spiraling downwards without realizing it. True, I never had any suicidal thoughts this last time (maxing out your Zoloft should have SOME kind of effect) but I started losing interest in the things that usually make me happy. Blogging. Creativity. Photography. My family. Sunshine. With the winter, it seemed that everything had turned gray and dead, and not just the plants. My husband kept urging me to do something just for me, but I always felt that I didn't have time, and if I did, that i...

      We christened the new van by going on TWO road trips this month. The first was to Oklahoma (and I guess, technically, Branson, MO as well) and the next weekend was to Utah to celebrate Rex's sister's wedding! So so so happy for her and her new hubby.  We got our first picture as a family with EVERYONE wearing a suit, well, except me of course. What handsome men surround me!
