december

Ok so Here goes a December Rundown.  We'll start with the latest 1st.  I sold a Coat Just like the one in this picture just last night on etsy. 

On monday we had Kurtis's work Party. Everyone went to Texas Roadhouse for Dinner then back to the office for cheese cake and a gift card exchange.  It was pretty fun we both really enjoy the people he works with so its fun to get and spend some time with everyone when they aren't working. Plus we didn't have the kids so that was great.

 We went to the BYU Basketball Game against Weber State with Kurtis's Grandpa and Grandma.  It was sooooo Much fun.  I always forget how much i really love basketball until i go to a game.  I started loosing my voice by half time.  Before the game we ate at Red Lobster.  Oh so yummy and i ate entirely WAY to much.  But i didn't want to take left overs and leave them in thier car during the game.  During dinner i got to hear the story of how they met and it was really fun. We always have fun with Grandma and Grandpa Williams.  Everyone says Kurtis is just like grandpa and i get told i'm like grandma in a lot of ways.  But i can't think of anyone better to be like so thats great.
 Brooklyn is crawling now the Morning after the big Wind Storm we had she started crawling for real instead of all the army crawling she did since she was 5 months. 
And We had our Ward Christmas Party on the 3rd.  It was really really well put together.  when you walked into the ward they had all these appetizers in the foyer then you went into the gym where they had 4 or 5 rows of tables all decorated on the back wall there were all sorts of desserts all cutely decorated and they served dinner out of the kitchen. there was a craft area for the little kids.  and for entertainment we played christmas Jepordy  it was great. Then the bishop read the kids a story and in came santa.  When the kids got to see santa kyler darted in after the 1st kid from way in the back to sit on santa's lap. That a Huge 180 from all the rest of the years he has been totally freaked out. It was a really nice break for the ward after so much had happend with the windstorm everyone was helping everyone out it was great. Infact kurtis left after he ate to go help one of the ladies he visit teaches to get her fence back up so she could let her dogs out while she's at work.  Definatly a memerable time.

Other than that we have the Cousin Sleepover that kurtis's aunt does every year this friday and saturday morn. then we have a Ugly sweater party with some people in the ward on saturday.  But after that we are free till saturday night when all of kurtis' dads side of the family gets together to do games and open presants and talents and such before grandpa reads the christmas story and we all go home for christmas.

I just wanted to take a min to thank my friends and family for there support.  through out my life i have been really lucky to have some great friends who i don't always see all the time and infact really don't see hardly at all but.. they are always there when i need them even if i'm just having a breakdown when kyler writes on everything in permanant ink.  They have been there to laugh with, to do stupid things with, and to cry with when i've needed and i want to thank them all for their love. 

I also want to thank my family both sides.  I am a true beleiver that your family is who you make it. Otherwise i really wouldn't be related to hardly anyone.  But i have wonderful family everywhere.  So thank you for your support and love for me and my family.  We love you all and hope you have a Merry Christmas wherever you may be for the holidays.

Then a special thank you to my Missionary Brother in laws.  Thank you for setting such a great example for my kids for the power of your testimonies and for the love you share to those that are around you. 
-Kevin when you left i swear i said your name at least once a day.  thanks for teaching kyler how to push up the cushions on the couch and jump on the couch. It was a great way to have me remember how much fun you had with him before you left. And how much we miss that when your out.  I am so Excited for you to get home it has really hit me in the last 2 months that you'll be home so soon and i've been getting so excited for it. For you to meet brooklyn, for kyler to get to play with you again, and especially to see kia when you get back.  You are such a strong great missionary and you are serving the lord in the way he would have you.  YOU ARE his tool to find those who need his help and are seeking the light of Christ.  Merry Christmas

-Karson:  1st i'm sorry i haven't written yet.  I kinda feel like since you've been out not a ton has happned.  But thats no excuse.  We love you and are so excited for you. I'm excited about your new area and feel like things are going better for you.  Kyler misses you, and is getting better at helping grandpa with the sheep and chickens.  he will acutally get a pen away from the sheep now. lol.  Know that what you are doing is exactly where you are supposed to be right now.  The people you meet are there for a reason wheather it be for you to help them or for them to strengthen you.  remeber that the refiners fire isn't always easy and but to "fear not and know that I am God".., for all flesh is in his hands and he knows what you need an when you need it.  We Love you. Oh and i started watching glee and LOVE it.  Merry Christmas Its not quite the same with out the Karson Elf at home but you get to let other people see the karson elf in ID. 


Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

Ok, first of all, two things:

1. That is the cutest coat EVER--can you make one in my size? ;)

2. Kyler is SO FREAKING BIG! When did that happen?!

Sounds like you guys have had a pretty busy month. Glad you survived your hurricane alright. We all need those friends we can call when a kid writes all over the walls (or smears their poop on the wall)
