I am married to Davy Crockett!!

FYI - You may not want your kids to see the pictures below -




Note the animals stretched in the background!! Yep - those are in my basement right now!!

Lexi will be happy that Uncle Ben has moved on from squirrels - the sad part is now it is much larger animals. He started trapping this winter and so far he has gotten 3 raccoons, 1 possum, 1 rabbit, and 1 skunk. He is really enjoying it and thinks he can make some extra money selling the pelts. The other pictures are from the ice storm in Kansas City. See everyone in a few days!!

BIRTHDAY!!!

If the birthday boy is anything like my husband...he probably won't be reading this. But just in case, we'd like to wish DANEN a very happy birthday!! We'll see you soon for the spanking machine....

Camrie

Oh the entertainment of a 3 year old. Today as we were driving in the van, she was drawing. I asked her what she was drawing.

C: I'm drawing boys with spikey hair.
A: What boys?
C: Bridger and Jaxon. And they're fighting.
A: What are they fighting over?
C: A waffle scooper.
(I assume she means a spatula.)

Then on Sunday when we went to S.J, she brought 2 movie. 1. Panda Express (Polar Express) and 2. Harry Poppins (Mary Poppins).

She's definitely funny.

A few stragglers....

I just uploaded all my pictures from my camera and I found a few pictures that were taken awhile ago...but that I just had to share!!!
Bridge LOVED Thanksgiving!
That's about as far as he would go out into the snow...he was a little wimp
I thought this was cute of Bec and Hudsy
and last but not least...my cheesy little boy holding his tractor!!!



See ya'll soon!!!!

Blogger!!!!!

I am now officially a blogger again!!!yessss....it feels good to be back in the loop!

POST CHRISTMAS PARTY

We are having a Draper (Olsen) party December 27th @ 6:30 pm at our home. Pot luck dinner so bring something you will eat. Thank you, Dad

Day 2 NO SCHOOL!!

Here are some more photos of the town...it's absolutely unbelieveable. Definitely the most damage I've ever witnessed from a storm. For those of you that have been at the office...next time you're here you will notice a lot less trees!!!

Ice Storm 2007

Here a few pictures of the storm that hit last night...we still have power but power is out at Bri's office. A huge tree has broken and landed on part of the office doing a little damage (rain gutter/wood edging). The roads are drivable, but we are out of school today. CRAZY!!!

Lehi Snow

Here's some pics from the Drapers snow experience. We had a video of Mase and Ry throwing snowballs at Sadie (safely inside) and she loved it, laughing tons, but it was too choppy when I uploaded it. You'll have to settle for the picture. We had a good snow storm, and am glad it wasn't an ice storm. I have yet to experience one of those.

Snow Day!!!

Or should we say ice!!! We are in the middle of a pretty bad ice storm...I'm just praying the electricity stays on. Sometimes when all of the ice gets on the power lines it's bad news!!

Well anyways no church today so we have plenty of time for blogging. Although it looks like I don't have any good pictures to post. Maybe later I'll take some.

Have a beautiful day.

Tay's b-day...

This first picture is a "thank you" picture for what he got from everyone giving him money or gift cards this year. I'd say he made a haul.

For Taylor's "family" party we karaoke'd...although I don't think he sang more than 2 notes. He was deeply engaged in his new Pokemon game.


Bri took the picture of the cake time, I'm more used to the pictures that are actually of the birthday person, not the mom who can't believe she has a 10 year old and who happens to be singing happy birthday really loud.

Happy Birthday Tay!

So what does a 1o year old get and do for his birthday? Let us know...

Gingerbread House

Karen Julian hosted a gingerbread house decorating class at her house. I'll have to admit it was very theraputic and just as enjoyable. It took me over 7 hours to complete the house. Anyways, it was very fun.

Who's got a BIG red cherry nose?

MUST BE SANTA, SANTA CLAUS!

Some Pics.....

Torsell's are hangin' in there and just gettin' excited for Christmas! Jaxon is off the walls hyper (I know, odd isn't it?) and Huds just hangs out. I had a great birthday with Ryan surprising me with a night at the Hilton. Talk about a great nights sleep! Thanks for all the birthday wishes. They really helped brighten my day!
