It's Been A LOOOOOOOOOOONG Time...

I know it has been a long time. A lot has happened in the past little while.

Christmas came and went... The kids loved it! Krissi got her letter jacket Johnny got an MP3 player. Zach got the Pixos he wanted and Clara got a baby... It was a great Christmas. The most wonderful thing at Christmas was the fact that we got to spend it with the family. Mom and Dad got home from their cruise. We had Christmas Eve over at their home. We had Clam Chowder. It was wonderful! We read the Christmas story in Luke and then went home. It was so neat. I love Christmas Eve. I think it is my favorite part of Christmas. On Christmas morning we woke up and saw what Santa brought. We then went over to mom and dad's to sing "Happy Birthday" to mom. It was so fun! It is a really neat tradition. The kids say that they love how things are backwards on Christmas... Cake for breakfast... Nothing like it!It's wonderful!
New Year's Eve was fun! we went to Lori's house. Lori's other best friend is Tracy Cromar Julian. Tracy and I grew up across the street from each other. She was like a sister to me growing up. Tracy and her family were at Lori's house also. It was so much fun to see her again. We had such a fun time! We played 80's Trivia. Can I just tell you that is one of the greatest games! It was surprising how much we didn't know...
Zach's birthday was on Feb 3. We decided to take him to Disneyland. It was his eighth birthday. Disneyland is doing a free birthday promotion so Zach, Clara and I got on the plane and flew to California. Robyn met us at the airport and we went to Disneyland. We had so much fun! Zach loved it! He and Clara got to go on every ride they wanted too. It was just a wonderful day all together!
On the 7th of February, Zach had a very important day! He became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Saints. He was baptized and confirmed. What a special day! We went to Joan's house after the baptism and had a lunch. So many of our dear friends and family members came. It was just a wonderful day!
Yesterday it was Clara's birthday... February 16th. She turned two. Clara is my little Valentine's present. I went in to labor with her on Valentine's day. She came 6 1/2 weeks early. She spent two weeks in NICU. She came home weighing a whopping 4lbs. Now, my little two year old is on the 98th percentile in BOTH weight and height. She has made up for it. She had a wonderful birthday. We went to Nonnie and Grandpa's to have cake and ice cream. She got such fun gifts. She got a huge teddy bear from my mom and dad. She got clothes from me and Converse high tops from Krissi. They are so cute on her.
So this brings me to today. Zach is sitting here asking me if he can have a corn dog for dinner... I guess I better go! I promise I won't stay away that long again. Love you all!
