Trying out New Presents

Willey got a pistol for Christmas and has been DYING to try it out, so we went out last week with the boy's and the Littles and tried it out. Im not that into shooting but of course someone had to take pictures right? haha. He had the boy's try to shoot his shotgun first and it kicked back on Josh's shoulder but not too bad, Ryan's was worse haha I felt bad he started to cry, so when it came to Zack's turn, he was already rubbing his shoulder and almost crying and he finally told Willey no he didn't want to shoot, his shoulder hurt, it was just so funny!! He must have been channeling josh and ryan's pain!! haha. Willey got out his pistol next and I did shoot that, we were aiming at bottles filled with water, and it was kind of fun but mostly scary for me!haha! Willey was just enjoying every minute! Jessi surprised me, she shot the pistol a few times and even hit the bottle!! Brandon brought his dirt bike and that was what the boy's loved the most!! I love living in a place where we can just drive 10 minutes, and be able to enjoy the beautiful desert!!

Christmas and New Years Eve

We had such a fun Christmas and New Years Eve! We got to have our friends The Littles spend the night Christmas Eve and share Christmas morning with us and it was just SO much fun getting everything ready for Santa to come. Zack walked into our room Christmas morning and we asked him if Santa came and he looked at us very confused and said um, NO,. haha then we walked him into the living room and he ran to go wake up his brothers, so cute! The boys' got just what they wanted from Santa, and Willey had been working in Kayenta coal mine the week before, so he brought home HUGE chunks of coal. Ryan had been being so very naughty the couple weeks before and we kept telling him that Santa was going to bring him coal. So guess who got a couple of presents full of coal? haha. his face was priceless. Hopefully he will try to do better next year!  For New Years Eve we decided to have a sleep over at my parents. We always do mexican food for New Years eve and it was SO good this year!!! We made homemade taquitos, tacos and it was just really delicious!! We watched movies and talked and laughed and just had such a great time! the kids made it until about 10:30, and were out. This is the first year in a really long time that I made it to midnight haha!! It was a fun way to bring in the New Year!! I am excited for what this new year is going to bring!! We are already off to a great start and new changes in our lives!!
