*WrEsTLe MaNiA*

Bridger decided to wrestle this year. It has been
so good for him. He has grown up so much and
has given him a drive that we have never seen
before.. He took 3rd in State for his weight..
WE ARE SO PROUD!

Bridger.. after a long day.

I have to admit that we are all glad the season

is over.. but are looking forward to next year. :)

santa stopped here!

Christmas morning lasted forever... just the way
I wanted it! It started out with each of the kids
playing deal or no deal. It was such a hit! They
all made out pretty good. We opened presents..
watched a dvd that Jordan made us.. laughed..
cried.. had a fabulous breakfast.. ate at my new
kitchen table.. and played board games. We
loved just spending time together! I am feeling
extremely blessed and so grateful for everything!

a christmas present...

I just had to show you what Bret made
me this year for Christmas..

It was really funny because in his family, we

draw names. So I new he was building a table

but he said that he had Trudys name. I was

pretty jealous.. he knew I wanted a tall table!

I was so surprised when he said it was for me.

I totally cried like a baby! Jake ended up

giving us the stools! I LOVE IT!!!

So nice to have such a talented husband!!

Farewell to Jake E

Jakes best friend Jake Eliason had his farewell
on Sunday. He did such a great job speaking and
had us all in tears. Jake is headed to Alaska.. he
must be living right because there couldn't be
a more perfect place for him to go! Good Luck
Jake! You will be an awesome missionary...

Thanksgiving was very quiet this year. We
spent it down in North Salt Lake at my dad
and moms. It was really nice.. the food was
great! Mom always makes us go around the
table and say what we are thankful for. After
dinner we played a game and then we all took
a nap! It was great being home and spending
time with my parents.. I am so thankful for
them and for teaching me great values.. they
have always been there for me.. THANKS!!

huntin pheasants...

Bret and Bridger went pheasant hunting with
the dogs. They weren't gone long because there
wasn't much out there.. but they looked good!
