HAPPY NEW YEAR

HAPPY NEW TO YOU AND YOURS. MY YOUR YEAR BE FILLED WITH LOVE AND LAUGHTER, PEACE AND JOY.

The Night Before Christmas

Mark reads The Night before Christmas to the boys every year. We keep the book on the hearth the entire time our Christmas decorations are up, but we never read it until Christmas Eve. I was glad that this year was no exception; with the boys getting older it seems harder to keep up with tradition.

Alex's Big Music Premier

Alex participated in an after school choir program and had a short but GREAT concert to end the semester.

The River Of Lights

Moriah and Canyon came to visit a couple of weeks ago while Mark was out of town on his annual guy’s trip. Moriah and I had a great time finishing up some Christmas stuff, watching girly movies, and just hanging out. Every December the botanical gardens in Albuquerque host a wonderful holiday light show called the River of Lights. We enjoyed music hot coco and walking through the gardens looking at all the lights with my dad, Clarinda, Michael, Moriah, Canyon, Jesse, Matthew, and myself. It was a great way to kick off the holiday season.

Matthew joined Sandia Junior Wrestling

Matthew decided to join the Sandia Junior Wrestling program this year. Wrestling is a new sport for all of us and we have all been enjoying, learning, and participating in this new adventure. Matthew has done well for his first year and shows the making of a great wrestler.

A little frustrated

frustrated is an understatement, I have been going to my weight watchers meetings for 1 month and GAINED two pounds. I know that I am the only one that can change my eating and exersize habits and when I do I will lose weight bu tin the mean time untill I get my rear in gear UGG!

GO RAIDERS!!!!

After we finished playing our last tournament game a few family's went to see the Raiders play the Broncos, AND THE RAIDERS WON!!!! It was allot of fun and just what the doctor ordered after losing the championship game.

C.O. Tournament Trip

We took our Matador Football team(the one Mattew plays for) to a tournament in Colorado a couple of weeks ago. We had a lot of fun and some great team bounding. We won two out of tree games, coming in second place AGAIN to Rio Rancho the same team we lost the supper bowl to, our record for the season was 12-2 not bad and we have two 2nd place metals and something to work for next season.
