Guess who won 1st place? Winning 8 out of 8 races???

Cam's Derby Jan, 2009

Well, the Hackings moved to Vernal. I miss them like crazy, one of my favorite things to do when I miss them is to watch this video (unfortunately I took it sideways, and it is dark), it just totally cracks me up Adelle is blinking her eyes, and I didnt realize I was taking a video, I was trying to take a picture of her and she kept blinking. Love you Guys.

Isn't she just CUTE?!?

This is her birthday outfit from Papa and Grandma A. She LOVED this outfit and wanted to pose for pictures. She felt cute. She felt very loved. She also got a large package of crafting supplies. I have the most amazing pictures all over my house. Thanks mom :) We love it. She hops up on my bed watching the Blues Clues video from aunt Jen and her Curious George one from Aunt Brandi and just colors and crafts all day long. What a poser... Logenn opening birthday presents from her family. She really didnt care if she had a birthday or not, and then once she saw all the presents, I think she changed her mind. I spent all week asking her..."Logenn are you so excited to see what you get for your birthday?" and she would say "Oh, I dont care mom" She loved the low key birthday with the family, just hanging out and feeling special. She is very special to our family. Quite the ray of sunshine. This is a picture of Logenn wearing pj's and combing her horsey's hair all gifts from Grandpa and Grandma Marziale for her birthday.

Logenn does something crazy everyone once in a while and says...hey MOM take my picture. This is today. What a goofy kid!!! She is 3!!! I cant believe it, but our baby turned 3, or "free" if you ask her.

Matt playing his first basketball game with the new Salem rec team.

This is a picture of Jade with her new haircut. She just loves it!!!

Wow, the last 11 days flew by in no time. Sorry I failed my picture a day. But I am going to attempt to keep up best I can for being me.

Day 8-While I was sitting outside a elementary school in Salem waiting for Matt to get done with basketball practice, this amazingly beautiful sunset just happened behind me, so i got out and took this picture. Our Heavenly Father really loves us!!!

Day 7-Is it Jan 7th already? A whole week of the new year. This picture is of the sweetest, most thoughtful gift. I had struggled this year to feel excited for Christmas, even just a little. Then Matt and I were shopping a Seagull Book and Tape, and I saw this picture, I loved the feeling it gave me, and I just showed him and I fell in love with this picture of Jesus. Matt worked a whole Saturday referring a wrestling tournie in payson and bought this. It wasnt even under the tree. I walked in my bedroom after cleaning up and there was this huge present on my bed. With an even bigger bow. I opened it and cried, and cried, and cried. My husband brought me Jesus for Christmas. I felt so spoiled. (Especially when You realize I bought him a three pack of soap for Christmas, well actually Brandi did, but it was supposed to be funny. Anyway I feel loved.)

Day 6, this is what is left of our awesome snowman. he was so cute, then he melted, then I walked out today and he was all snowed on. This powdery snow is so wierd. So I took a picture of my world outside my door today as well...Isnt Garbage day AWESOME.

Day 5...I finally got my laundry done, from mountain to neatly folded laundry baskets. Now...if someone could put away their laundry so I can have a couch back. (What a GREAT picture...eh?)

DAY 4--My husbands Christmas gift from Jade, the Globe, I think he slept with it for the first 2 nights checking out all the places in the world. It was awesome...The best part was how she picked it out. When she went shopping with her dad to buy me a gift, I told her to pay attention to things he likes and we would go buy him a gift the next day. So she says "Dad, while we are shopping, why dont you show me things you like"...dork!!! So he just happened to notice the globe and said..."Wow, I always wanted a globe". The rest is history...

Day 3...Cameron has invented his own Thumb War Arena!!! What A Kid! (and YES his box says...May the best Thumb win)

Day 2....This Picture is of Brandi's Christmas Card. This is Brandi, Bryant, and Adelle...I am really going to miss them..:-( THEY ARE MOVING TO VERNAL...

Ok, my friend Cami has "challenged" us to take ONE picture a day this WHOLE year. I did good so far, one for one. hee hee hee.

Day 1...This is a picture of Logenn, who came upstairs with this antique baseball helmet on her head and said "Dad, can I wear this and play ball with Adelle and Emily?" We laughed so hard and took plenty of pictures...(Oh, she just ate a licorice too, that is why she has red all over her face)

If you don't have a blog or don't know how to sign in, sign up for an account! You won't regret it!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog (if you have one) and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty fun to see the responses.

Ok, so it is not easy to find the perfect tree out in the wilderness, but we think this one was very special. Matt is very proud of this tree. We did have to cut about 18 inches off the top to make it fit so perfectly in the tallest part of our house:-)

However, the kids had a blast decorating it and it is quite fun to look at.
