Soccer/Basketball

This was Talan's first year of playing basketball and he was amazing!! He made a couple of baskets, which was awesome cause not many kids could throw the ball that high. He was so good about passing the ball to make sure everyone had a chance to shoot, especially the girls.

Maddy has played outdoor soccer for a couple years, but this was her first time with indoor. She LOVED it. Mostly cause it wasn't hot! She scored at least one goal each game, and the last game she scored 4!! She had done a little bargaining prior to the beginning of the season. She wanted $1 for each goal she made. She is now one rich little lady!

Great season Huskies and Celtics!

San Diego!

It's been sooo long since we've been to San Diego to see Tiff, Drew and the kids. So we decided to go with Spencer's whole fam for the new year. It was fun to have everyone together. We went to a yummy pizza place with huge pizzas. I think it was close to being the best pizza ever. And the ranch was delish too!

Talan and I were making sweet pics while we were on the plane and sending them to all our friends.

Before we left we stayed at the Aloft Hotel. It was pretty sweet I must say. I'd still say Embassy Suites beats them out just because of their amazing breakfast. For real. If you haven't been there, it is a must.

We always love the beach, whether it is hot or cold, we will be there.

Ollie and Ryan weren't very happy. It had already been a long day. But they were troopers.

Tally is just happy to be anywhere.

Summer, Ryan, Kass & Madds

Ryan with his BFF

They will shop even if it is raining!

Tal's most favorite kid ever, Dylan.

Old Town San Diego

Tiffer and Drew

This was our first year not being in St.George for Christmas. It was a little sad, but the Palmer's coming to spend it with us made up for it! For some reason I can't find any pics of Christmas morning. Maybe we only video'd it? I don't remember. And why can't I remember how to spell video'd? I'm sure I'll feel dumb about that later.

P.J. the elf came and brought the kiddos new jammies.

Opening a gift Christmas Eve

I don't think Drew likes My Little Pony much anymore. So sorry Drewbie.

Tally LOVES his legos.

I'm not sure what Nash thought about this gift, but his face is classic!

And my favorite gift of all (I kinda wanted to keep it).

These pics got mixed up, pretend like these next two are at the end.

At about 2:00 pm Christmas Day all the kids had fallen asleep. They woke up at 5:00 am! Way too early!

I think this face means that she liked the game "Quelf" that we gave her.

Madds SO happy she got the baby she wanted

End of 2010

Festival of Lights/Cheyenne Mtn. Zoo

We LOVE the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo! It's on the side of the mountain, so it's unbelievably pretty just walking around looking at all the animals. In the winter they have tons of lights up at night, so we decided to go check it out. The Palmer's decided to come spend Christmas with us so it was super fun taking them to explore the Zoo and Colorado Springs.

I thought Ryan would freak out, but he loved Santa.

Cute little Jake and Nash

Christmas cookies

We spent hours with Julie making cookies for the YMCA cookie walk. We have to take 7 dozen to them and then to all our neighbors. So pretty much LOTS of cookies.

Ryan was so overly happy about this picture. Such a cutie.

Talan went crazy on the sprinkles!

We LOVE fall!

There just isn't anything better than playing in a pile of leaves!

Halloween time!

The kids were trying on their costumes to see which one's to wear.

Ryan had been wearing his spidey costume for the past month and it happened to be dirty for halloweeen. Bummer! So he was a spidey skeleton. We made it work.

Instead of bobbing for apples this year we tried carmel apples. I definitely need to perfect these babies. The carmel just wouldn't stay on!

Corey's was actually pretty perfect.

Ryan has his own method of getting the carmel to stay up.

Maddy's in heaven

Some worked great... others not so much.

Julie's going gangster on us.

Delicious.

Look at those eye's! What a beauty!

Who cares about the apple, just eat the carmel!

Dale had his own method of eating. I don't think it worked out the way he planned.
