The boys had their yearly Pinewood Derby last night. They both entered cars this year. Jaydyn's car was a bit too light so he didn't do as well as last year - he informed us that we need to fix that for next time! He still got a trophy for most colorful car though!
Nik won 3rd place in his class! His weighed a bit more than Jaydyn's so it went a bit faster.
The boys love doing the pinewood derby every year - they get so excited during the races!
I didn't take pictures sadly but I'll get some up of their cars and trophies!

Christmas 2011!!
We had a great Christmas this year! On the 23rd we went to Salt Lake and had dinner & visited with my Dad, My Grandma & Grandpa, my Aunt & Uncle and their daughters. They have a gorgeous house and it was fun to see it and visit with them!
Christmas Eve we went up to Adam's parents and visited, had dinner and did our annual stories/songs. This year we had some new additions! Chase & Ashley had their little boy, Miles. He is such a doll! He's starting to get more interactive and is so much fun to play with! Steve is also engaged so his fiancee was up there with us! Lindsey is so much fun and always so happy - her and Steve make such a cute couple! I can't wait for them to be married!
We did the traditional 1 present opened and Adam and his brothers exchanged gifts. The boys got their Christmas pj's! We enjoy going to the Raymond's so much. They are such a happy, loving family that you feel welcome and loved the second you get there!
We left cookies and milk for Santa and he left the boys a cute little note! The boys have had so much fun on Christmas break that I had to wake them up this year! I usually TRY to get them to sleep at least till 7 but they are usually up at 6. This year I woke up at 8 and they were still sound asleep. I enjoyed waking them up and seeing their eyes light up as they remembered it was Christmas Day!
The boys have done so good this year in getting along and with school. they have both worked so hard to keep A's in their classes. Santa has been watching and they got a bit spoiled this year! They got some "adult" presents - A new TV for their room, their own XBox 360, clothes, movies, games, candy and some Lego sets! They were so excited to get all their stuff set up and to play with everything.
As I look back over the year and all the memories we made it really makes so grateful and thankful that I was given my family! They bring me so much joy (and some frustrations :) ). I don't know how I would live without them!
Here are some pictures of the fun!
We hope you all had a great holiday! We love you all and hope for nothing but the best for your families in 2012!!

Family Pictures!
In October one of my friends, Kamie, took some family pictures for us. She did an amazing job! I loved how they all turned out. We'll definitely be using her from now on for all our professional shots!! Here's just a few of what we had done!
If anyone is interested in using her for pictures here is her information:
