DECEMBER 2009

Well I haven't written in a while, so here is a break down of life at the Fullers:

*Had Thanksgiving here, Turkey Frozen, timer didn't pop for 2 hours over when dinner should have been. Used a hair dryer of the stuffing because the bread didn't dry out like it was suppose to. Rolls raised and fell during all this. Marshmallows on yams dissolved. My mom was running out of oxygen. Surprise guest for dinner (no complaints there). Luckily everything tasted OK.

*Two weeks until Christmas, no time to shop. Lots of homework for all the kids.

*Cold, cold, cold. It is FREEZING outside!

*I have been working every night at The Forgotten Carols. My kids have proved to be the best kids any mom could ask for! They have helped Parker with his homework every night. Alexia has made many dinners and even homemade bread stick that were to die for! Brooks has done all the laundry and has driven the kids to scouts, ym, dance and taken them for a few doughnuts(which I thought was nice until I figured out they weren' t the food kind of doughnuts-yes there is a lot of ice on the streets!) So my family can function with out me, but I can't wait until I can be done with this job and back to being home at night.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Troy and Katie's Wedding

First a disclaimer: All these pictures were taken and stolen from my wonderful sis-in-law Ruthy who I know won't mind that I stole the from her blog. I know she won't mind because hers is so dang cute I can't compete. (My camera is totally broken at the moment)
Thursday Brooks baby brother got married! It was just a perfect day, besides the cold! It started for me at 7:00 am doing the brides hair and yummy Dunford doughnuts Ruthy brought over. Then we left for the Temple where Lexi and Kyler watched all the cousins in the waiting room. We filled their pockets with candy to help.

Then I was able to help Katie(along with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law) in the beautiful Brides room to get ready after the ceremony. Pictures were FREEZING, but still fun!

Here are some pictures from the reception of the cutest kids ever!!


And a pretty cute family too!

These are some pics from the luncheon at Gardner Village. The food was great!

It was a wonderful day! Congratulations Troy and Katie!

(Now time to diet! I counted that night that I probably ate at least 6000 calories+:

Doughnuts in the morning, chocolate lava cake at the luncheon and some of Lexi' s carrot cake, fudge from the candy store in Gardner Village, an eclair at the reception plus a bite of my kids brownie and ice cream and to top it off-wedding cake!)

Our weekend at Janise's cabin

Whe got to spend conference weedend with a great friend of the family Janise, and the Fuller family. It was so much fun bonding with wild life IN and out of the cabin!

The kids wanted to spend every minute outside, even though it was a bit chilly. Parker is consantly making things out of everything he finds and getting dirty.

The kids loved feeding the chipmunks. Grandma would say throw the food, I taught them to hold it in their hand.

During conference we had a good time doing each others hair, we had to look good for all the moose and deer we saw!

We went on two hikes a day to burn off all the great food we ate. Then we would head back and make more food. It was the life!

Having fun with the girls! Thank you family for such a good time!

Parkers Baptism

Thank you to all our wonderful friends and family

who came to support Parker, even when I am horrible about making invites,(so sorry Reid).

Here are some pictures of all who came.

It has been a great day for Parker! He got to be the first one in our ward to get baptized at our brand new stake center, and the very first one to get baptized in the font. Pretty cool. I was at little nervous he wouldn't be able to touch the bottom but he did (barely).

We are so proud of you Parker! Thank you for being such a great son!!

Our Friends are leaving us.

We got together with our oldest and dearest friends the other night because they are moving to Japan!

We had so much fun, like always and our kids did too.

We picked up pizza for the kids and then we went out to dinner. I love having kids old enough to leave! We could have stayed all night talking and laughing, we are truly going to miss you guys!!

Wendi is just as goofy as me, thats why we get along so well!

Brooks always enjoys Brandon.






Breanna will always be Alexia's bff!!

Thanks so much for a wonderful time! What are we going to do with out you? We hope this is a great experience for you all and can't wait to see pictures and hear all about it!

Parkers Birthday

Parker turned 8 on Aug 10th! He had a fun party with all his friends. We borrowed Ruthys slide and had pizza and cake and played a water balloon game. It was a great day for Parker. That night we met the Roberts at Classic skating and went water sliding and played in the jungle house. Then when we got home, Dad played a trick on Parker by wrapping up some old socks and a couple little candy bars because Parker just knew he was getting a telescope, which he did, but not until dad had his fun.

I asked Parker what do you want for your birthday breakfast? Waffles, pancakes, french toast? No a Tomato and pickle sandwich! Go figure.

Family pictures

I have the best family in the world! And cute too!!

Bowling!

Last week we went bowling and swimming with Dad. Finally it has started to feel like summer.

It was fun, even though I have never scored over a 80 in my life. Parker did great, I should use the bumpers too!
