December fun!

                             The Christmas Season is upon us. December 1st hits and all craziness lets loose. We have had a wonderful season doing simple things. This year I have tried to simplify and celebrate what is important this season Easy to get distracted.

Lights , traffic, shopping and fun.It was pajama day at school in. Blake dressed up like the Grinck! Pretty cute! Landon and Taylor both had finals. We had plans to go to Salt Lake for a wedding and see the Christmas lights. But Blake and Landon were sick so we postponed that trip to another time. 

This season we went to School polar Express night, saw a live Nativity, a mini nutcracker and did all the normal Christmas stuff. It has been cold but no snow which is a bummer.

 Phil  has been working a lot and the boys have played basketball. I had a Christmas Piano Recital which was awesome to hear so many Christmas tunes. The kids all played so well. but probably I won't do it around the holidays again because of schedules and stress. Candy and sugar plums are a 24/7 thing when you are in christmas mode. Hot Chocolate and treats around every corner. Seems like the Season crept up on us.  I did find a couple of awesome Christmas Songs this year. Here are the 2 I found

If I Were A Shepherd #LightTheWorld

If you’re missing someone this Christmas this song’s dedicated to you - ...

Taylor is 12

Pup turned 12!! We call him Pup. He is so sweet and starting to get in to the tween back talk. But we love him anyway. Everything in 12 year old world is " I don;t know." Whatever you ask the answer is always, "I don't know?
Anyway we are excited for him to be 12. I guess. I shed a tear because my sweet boy has grown up!

Merry Christmas 2018

 WOW does time fly. All Summer is gone and fall. We started another year of school. Blake is a kindergartener. Taylor started middle school 6th grade. Landon is a junior. We are all still at Windsor Charter Academy. Taking the good with the bad. Blake is going two full days and one half day. He is loving it. His teachers name is Mrs. Klein and she is perfect for kindergarten and for him. I am so happy and relieved about it.


I am not teaching as much piano this year but still so busy. Not sure why!! haha. The boys take up a lot of work and they are involved in sports etc. Taylor loves Fort nite, a game and he would play it all day long. Landon is doing bball and soccer. Blake is a tag along and will play whatever he wants. Mostly I have been just trying to keep the laundry done etc.

It's a weird thing when your kids grown up and don't want to play toys with you anymore. They have to find their own way and we discoever new things to do. It's alittle hard for me to let them grow up. Sometimes it would be nice to just keep them in a box but that is not how life it.


This fall has brought a lot of home work and school again. Taylor seems to be growing up fast. He turned 12 a could of weeks ago. NO!! my sweet baby is 12
