Lots has happened in the past month. I'm going to hit the highlights.
*Thanksgiving~We had a wonderful time at my parents house. At the end of the night we were sitting around talking with my mom and Allynne and Tracey, we couldn't believe how relaxing it was. All the kids played great together. They made Indian vests and headdresses. They made up an Indian name and wrote it on the things they made. They loved it. Later that day, my Mom had gotten candy to have each of the kids make a Christmas countdown chart. The ones where they tie a piece of candy with ribbon in cellophane and make a chain of candy. Everyday they get to cut one off. The kids loved that too.
*Aubree's Birthday~My little "miracle baby" is six. She is beautiful, talented, soft hearted and loves her Savior, Jesus Christ. I love her so much. We feel so blessed to have her as part of our family.
*Jason's Birthday~Happy Birthday! The kids and I decided that we have the best Dad in the whole world!
*We moved~To the basement of a house in Birdseye, UT. We are out in the middle of no where and loving it. There are deer on our back lawn everynight and we even saw some elk play around in the field behind us. (the view from the side of our house) We're sure that is going to make the perfect sledding hill for the kids. Sounds like this weekend we might get to try it out with all the snow that is supposed to come.
*Baby Kylee (Tracey's baby) born~She shares her birthday with her Daddy (Tracey's husband Brian) and her cousin Aubree. We'll have some fun combined birthday parties to come. I'm sorry, I don't have a picture of her. I will take one next time I'm in town.
*Aubree's First Bus Ride~When we moved we needed to switch schools. She now has to get on the bus at 7:20a.m. and I pick her up from the bus stop (just down the road 5 miles) about 11:40a.m. She has made so friends in her new class and loves her teacher. She's so adaptable, this is her third kindergarten of the year. I don't have a picture of this either. Man I'm a slacker sometimes!
*First Dance Class for the girls'~Since we live so far away from everything, I had to take the girls' out of gymnastics. I was so sad because they are both super good at it. I put them in Dance because it was on a wednesday and I come into town every tuesday and wednesday to take Alexa to Preschool. Gymnastics was on Monday. Hopefully, I'll get to put them back in next year. The girls have their first recital next week and they dance to a Hannah Montana song and wear these little red and black costumes with the puffy skirt. I'll for sure take pictures and post them. They even get to dance at a Jazz game in February. Of course THEY love dance, but it will take me some getting used to. At the end of Gymnastics they always did a cheer. For example: Girl's Rock! Well at the end of Dance they do a cheer. It's just a little more girly. For example: AHHH Princess, or We're Cute. I don't know about the whole Dance thing. As long as they're having a good time. Pictures of the recital to come!!!
*Amy's New Calling~PRIMARY MUSIC LEADER!!!! I have always said that I would love that calling. We'll see. So far I do ( I've only done it for one week), but hey, Primary is one of the best place to be. I get to sing, which I love; I get to be with my kids, which I love; and I get to be in Primary, which I love.
*A new Cat~When we were at my Mom and Dad's house a kitten showed up. Erick went out and played with it and it was so patient with him. It lets him haul it around everywhere. So it stayed at mom's house and would wait all day on the porch for our kids to play with it. It was very loyal. My Dad said the only way he would let it stay is if we took it with us when we went. So we did and my kids are loving it!!!! Even Aubree is o.k. with it. She isn't the most comfortable with it, but she will pet it and be outside when it is there without freaking out. I keep calling it "it", but the kids named it, Ginger.
I know more has happened, but I will try to be better about posting. Hope all is well with everyone.

It sounds like you have been very busy! But having a great time! So where is your house exactly? I drove through a few times over Thanksgiving Break. Every house I past I thought, "Maybe it is that one?" I'm glad that you are all settled in. What ward do you go to? Birdseye or Indianola? It is good to hear how you are doing!
Janille
You have a cat?! That's so hard to believe! We're going to be in Utah next week from Tuesday to the following Monday. We would love to see you guys while we're there!
I am glad that you guys are liking your decision so much. It is nice to be close to family. Maybe we will even see you once in a while;)
I'm glad we can catch up with you again. Keep us up with what's going on.
I just stumbled onto your site while looking at Janille's. It was cool to see your cute family and see that you are doing so well. Too bad that you didn't pick the Payson house though (that's where we are at). Birdseye will be awesome. Have a merry Christmas from the Johnsons
It was so good to see you when you came. Thanks for calling. I hope the wedding went well. We'll have to stay in touch a little better.
