KJ was SO excited for the party all day, he was super chatty about the balloons, friends, food…he just couldn’t WAIT!Dinner this year was a Mexican themed potluck, thank you to EVERYONE who brought delicious food! Caryn made these super yummy Brisa’s – they were blended together with vanilla ice cream, ice, frozen blackberries & straweberries, Sprite, topped with whipped creme & a blackberry – they were really yummy!We just love our New Year’s masks/etc…We had so much fun taking pictures, dressing up – you would have thought we were a bunch of little 14 year olds with our first digital cameras, not a bunch of 30-somethings.

I thought it would be fun for the kids to swim in the winter…

so…Dusty & Danny started shoveling, sweeping, breaking ice, shoveling, sweeping, breaking ice, shoveling, sweeping, and once again shoveling snow OFF the pool yesterday. They then had to unfreeze a hose by running hot water through it for about an hour, work some magic to get the pump/heater running and then 24+ hours later the pool heated from a cold 49 degrees to a very toasty 99 degrees.

This is going to be a BIG post, I have lots of pictures and I know we didn’t have many cameras there today…including mine. My pictures are from Janette Duckworth & Shannon Taylor’s cameras, thank you! I know that many people/families plan on copying these.

As far as the tubing goes, it was a blast and a beautiful day! Thank you to everyone who went – we love you all!

As Kiana and I were busy the first half of Christmas Eve, Dusty took Myla skiing and then made it home in time to start our families traditions.

B O W L I N G !!!

Dusty loves to choose the LARGEST bowling shoes they have just to make the kids laugh. They have no idea this isn’t his REAL shoe size. He just flops around in them while he bowls…Sela playing “peek-a-boo” with Myla KJ
