I just had to share this cute picture. Kristen and Jon went IKEA to explore the big store. They text this picture to me of Baby Timothy. Timothy is even grabbing the handle. What a cute little boy! He is twelve weeks old this week.

Tocanos Tradition
It's a tradition that we take the kids to Tocanos once a year. Usually during the Christmas holiday. We finally made it this weekend. This year we had a couple of extra new-comers. Last year Jon was in Casper and Timothy wasn't born yet. The tradition continues. Kristen was actually eating meat (beef), and Taconos lost their money on Kevin. Mr. Healthy(Kev) didn't have salad and couldn't get enough meat. Timothy just stared at the food. Maybe next year he can have a bite of some fruit or vegetables. We all left with happy tummies.
Baby Timmers

Baby Timothy is growing so fast. We are having so much fun with him. We are anxious to see him grow even more this 2011 year. We are truly bless!
Christmas in St. George
After church on Sunday, December 26, we headed to St. George, Utah to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Anderson. The weather was terrible, roads slippery, but we made it in one piece.
Each of us had a recorded remote for a self-guided tour. Grandpa Anderson is sitting by the sheep listening to their story. Grandma Anderson posses by the giraffe from Africa.
At first Grandma Anderson was upset the tourist were on their cell phones. Guess what? She had one too (the remote). She couldn't figure out why all these people had their cell phones on. I guess you had to be there.
Grandma and Grandpa Anderson found a place to hike and repel. Kevin brought his ropes and gear ready to climb. Of course Oliver and Tulip loved the walk.
Kyle went first. This was his first time repelling off a cliff. It's a lot different than repelling in our backyard. He was awesome.
Kevin is superman. He really enjoys this danger stuff. I had a hard time watching. He was very cautious and made sure everything was hooked up correctly. They made it to the ground safely. Wow!
Nathan brought his scuba gear so the boys could go scuba diving in the pool. We rented some tanks from a St. George scuba shop. They dove both Monday and Tuesday in the pool at the RV Park where my parents are staying.
We headed back to Pleasant Grove on Wednesday morning. There was a big snow storm moving in and we wanted to beat the storm. Well, we became part of the storm. Cars were off the road, sliding with the icy conditions. We made it home safely, but it was a nail biter.
We spent from Sunday to Wednesday in Southern Utah. My parents are staying in a RV park in Washington Utah. It wasn't much warmer than Northern Utah, but it was great to get together.
We spent the evenings playing Dominos. I'm pretty sure there was some cheating going on, but no one will confess.

Animals from all over the world displayed in their natural habitat. A new place that we didn't know about. I am glad that we went.

Sally's Ride
Can you believe this? One spoiled dog. Nobody
forced her to ride. It's what she wanted.
Christmas Day
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
Santa Came!
Grandpa bought the boys shirts!
Baby Timothy slept the whole Christmas morning. Grandpa cooks up some baby :)I was so excited for Nathan to open his gift from me. Well, he was so excited for me to open my gift from him. Believe it or not.....we opened the same thing. We both opened a Camp Chef kettle from Cabela's. It is a pot with a spout at the bottom. It's for boiling water or making hot chocolate and you can pour the liquid from the bottom. Everyone was laughing. We really have been married for 22 years. (I took one of the pots back.)
Kristen got Jon some "Indiana Jones" cuff links. Go figure. I've never seen anyone so happy in my life. His expression was priceless when he opened them. Amazing...
Kevin and Kyle received watches that Nathan had fixed. They use to be Grandpa Criman's old watches. They are still ticking. Kristen took Sally for a ride on the four-wheeler. I couldn't believe my eyes.Christmas Eve
Nathan had some surprise visitors.
While I was talking to my mom on the phone the dogs were barking obnoxiously. I yelled at them to stop. O course they continued to bark. I finally peeked out the front window and what should appear??????????
Three people were building a snowman in our front yard. I was laughing so hard. I watched the whole thing while talking to my mom on the phone. I ran to get Nathan and he could see them too. They were a few of his old students from MVHS last year. So sweet.
They finished their project, rang the doorbell, jumped into their truck, and took off. They texted Nathan a Merry Christmas. I said good-bye to my mom and we took this picture.
Nathan has taught at Mountain View High School for sixteen years now. There are many students to remember. They are all so talented and have so much to give. This time they gave a Merry Snowman.
Thank you!

I am grateful for all that we have and I am especially grateful for Nathan. He works so hard and takes care of all of us. Nathan, I love you. Thank you for all you do!
December Temple Square
Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert
On December 18th, we went to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert. We had an early dinner at Mi Mi's Cafe in Sandy and then headed to SLC. We arrived early so we walked around temple square. Kevin was helping Justin Allred in Logan install a wooden floor so it was just Nathan, Kyle and I. It had been a long time since we walked around the square. It was very beautiful with the Christmas lights. We need to go back soon when we have more time to see the exhibits. Kyle doesn't remember much about temple square. He wasn't very old when we were there last.
was the guest reader. They were amazing. Very professional and enjoyable to listen to. And of course, the Orchestra at Temple Square and the Choir were spectacular. We haven't gone for several years so it was great to be able to attend this year. It was a great way to start the Christmas season.
The set was amazing. It looked like a Thomas Kinkade setting of an old fashioned Christmas.
Of course Kyle was a great trooper being with "Mom and Dad."
