Happy New Year!!!

Utah wins the SUGAR BOWL!!! 31 to 17. Sorry 'Bama! :)

Of coarse Justin is helping with the gingerbread house. What a great uncle. I love Carlee's face in this picture. She's so into this! :)

I think this was about noon. Don't you love how most of us are still in PJ's?

This is the first picture of all the grand kids on my side. Fun huh?

Aunt Becca was so great with Jaylee, she even got her to fall asleep. Thanks Becca!

Grandma is so great to the girls. She reads them story after story! The girls LOVE it too! I love this picture of my mom, she's such a beautiful lady! Both pictures I took Carlee's eyes were weird. Oh well! :)

I had to post this picture of my BIL Dave. I love where the ball is. What a cool action shot! :)

Oh... Aren't they so cute?!?!?! Nate and Becca are a great couple to hang out with!

This is me and my sister Julie showing off our babies. They're just over 3 months apart.

They had a big rotation going with Guitar Hero. Can you see Dave, he's playing mob wars on his phone... I have no idea what the draw is to that game...

Girls playing games when they should have been in bed :) No wonder they like sleep overs at grandma's house!

This is the whole family group right after our big BINGO game. It was tons of fun this year! Thanks mom and dad!

Sorry this post is late - I don't like to be like that at all! It's just been so busy and so much fun! This week I was FINALLY able to meet my sister's baby for the first time. My girls were also super excited. Baby Bailey has lived up to and even exceded all of my expectations. She is so cute and what a good baby! It has been so much fun to spend time with my sister and her cute little family. We were able to go to my parent's house for New Year's eve and even spend the night. We ate good food, played the annual bingo game and of coarse did some pool, ping pong, guitar hero and I even got to make some bows! A few of us also attempted the hot tub outside. It was beautiful! We were out there at midnight and were able to watch the fireworks all across the valley. What a fun experience! The next day mom made us waffles and the kids made the gingerbread house Grandma Marsh had given them. They LOVED it. I got to go to the mall with a few of the girls to do a little shopping - not too productive but it was fun to get out. Then we had a nice turkey dinner and came home. G&G Glauser even came for dinner! What a treat. Yesterday we were excited to stay at home and get some things done. We ended up going out again to see if I could get me some jeans. HUGE SUCCESS! I love the jeans at Down East outlets! You can get nice, name brand jeans for a fraction of the cost. Thanks for telling me about them Becca! I owe you big time! :)

Of coarse last night was a big night for our family too! Utah football played in the biggest bowl game in their history. I have to be honest, I thought they'd be lucky to stay in the game at all. Boy was I wrong! Utah not only hung in there, they scored on their first 3 drives making the score 21 to 0! Something that dosn't happen to 'Bama. It was fun to see our Utes dominate them! Go Utah! The score ended up at 31 to 17! I don't think the BCS were too excited about Utah winning this one - less money in their conference. It sure proved that others need to be included in the "big bowls". As a matter of fact Utah has the longest winning streak in NCAA football as well as the longest winning bowl streak with 8 straight wins. Man, it's fun cheering for a winning team. Now if my Carolina Panthers can make it to the super bowl I'll have one heck of a season! :)

Today we're heading back up to Jackman's for family pictures. It should be fun. The same lady who took our family pictures for Nelsons will be doing these as well. I'm excited to see my family again. It's been such a treat for me this year. As a matter of fact, Chlo had a total melt down when we left the other day because she wanted to stay with my sister Julie. She told me that Julie needs to move here so she can be with her family. It was cute to see her tear up because she loves my sister so much. Thanks Julie for being such an amazing aunt! Tonight I am fortunate enough to have a great husband who's watching the girls so I can go out with all my sister's and mom for a "girls night out"! Man, this has been a dream vacation for me! :)

As a side note, we took Jaylee into the Dr's on the 31st just to be sure she didn't have an ear infection. When we got there I noticed she had a top tooth coming in. Not the top center but the right SIDE tooth... So strange. She is also officially 21 pounds... Hope she starts crawling soon :) This morning I noticed she was breaking another front tooth. The top center left one. She's going to look silly with only those 4 teeth in :)
