WAAAAAAY overdue!

wow...took a little sebatical from the world of blogging. So sad...i have so much to catch up on. So here is my best attempt to review the last 3 months in a flash!

For the sake of journaling (bear with me)
Thanksgiving was spent with the Campbell side and mom and dad hoggan at Tia's house in Idaho Falls.


Heres Cody, Brady and VJ. Do they even look like brothers?

Oh and ps...let's not forget the BYU vs. Utah game Thanksgiving weekend that we had to rush back home for. What a great game! BYU 17 - Utah 10. We had an extra ticket and invited Cody's friend Travis (who by the way was wearing red) to sit with us.



We had an early Christmas party with the Perry's the first weekend in December. We rented a cabin up by the City of Rocks in Idaho. It snowed the entire time we were there...it was so fun to have our Perry Christmas so early in Decemeber...really got us in the Christmas spirit and we were able to cross so many things off our Christmas list so early. We had so much fun tubing down this big hill by the cabin and then behind Calvin and JoNae's truck (until Hawk and I flipped our sled behind the truck and Hawk lost a tooth). How sad no pictures. The camera got left at home! :o( My sister Julie had this fabulous idea to re-create "THE CITY" for each of our siblings and their families for Christmas. So Julie, my mom and I got together just after Thanksgiving and threw these together. LOL! These little things took so much longer than we had anticipated but it so worth it. We had so much fun making them! "THE CITY" is something that my mom made for my brother Scott for Christmas one year when he was younger. Scott was later killed in a car accident but this little city entertained all of us growing up. We all have so many fun memories playing "city" together. Which is why we were all fighting over the original.


We spent Christmas at Mom and Dad Campbells house in Shelley. So fun to just hang out and play games. We seriously got snowed in and came home 2 days later than we planned to. I unfortunately didn't get enough pictures of this one! Oh and we need a new camera so bad. We really just got one so either its just a really crappy one or we haven't figured out how to use it right or something. All of my pictures turn on blurry or pixely!






Rylee got pretty much EVERYTHING pink! She got the pink barbie phone that she's been dying to have. She got pink lip gloss, a pink balarina outfit, pink candy, pink legwarmer, pink pajamas, pink slippers, pink headband....you get it right?

Cole asked for one thing! A POCKET KNIFE! Santa must have thought he was big enought to handle it because thats what he got. After all the knife safety lessons he got from his dad he's only sliced his arm open ONCE already...not too bad! Other than that dang pocket knife he got legos, guess who game, race car track and lots of things that i can't remember now.

Then it was back to the January drag! It seems like after the holidays are all over it's just so hard to get back to normal life. After Christmas is over I'm just so ready for SPRING!!! January and February seem to be the longest months of the year!
