December summary 2008

I have done a few fun things in December that I wanted to post. One night we decided that we wanted to go to my friend Rylee’s to see her house so Chelsea and Daxton and I drove to Ogden and Daxton had Chelsea ride in the back with him. He didn’t shut his mouth the entire way. Chelsea who doesn’t have kids just thought that was the funniest thing ever. We had fun that night Daxton got to play with Rylee’s son Devyn and I got to visit with my girls.

My cousin Kyler got his mission call to Guam! I am excited for him and I am thankful for the way he interacts with Daxton and the good example that is set there.

So I went out with the girls! We went to Port O’Call. I was really didn’t want t to go but my girls wanted to go so how could I resist. I had a major panic attach in my closet trying to find something to wear. It was ridiculous but that is just how I am. So we got there early and we spent a lot of time staring and making fun of people. Then we finally got into it a little when people started to come. After so long I started to get a headache from the smell of smoke and I was so done. We didn’t leave until the place closed. I really did have a fun time.

Caden came home from his mission. We got up extra early and had all of the family down. My mom rented an 18 passenger van so that my entire family could all ride together. I thought it was sick and I would have rather drove myself. We didn’t have to wait long at the airport before he got there. My mom was so excited to see him and she screamed at the top of her lungs and jumped up and down. I am not exaggerating. It was kind of funny. When it was finally my turn to hug him I was thinking he is a lot smaller then I remember, I thought he was taller. Haha Daxton was so dang excited to see him that it was ridiculous because he couldn’t get enough attention from him. I felt kind of bad since I knew how much Daxton had missed Caden…he only talked about it for 2 years. We all got in our van and went to Village Inn for breakfast. It took a while since there were a lot of us. Then we went home and opened a few presents from Corey’s family before Daxton had to leave to Idaho with Trevor for Christmas.

I got Daxton back on Christmas day at 2:25 p.m. He was kind of funny acting, which if any of you have been there when he is returned understands what I am talking about. We then opened his presents from me and my mom. He wasn’t too excited; I think he was just done. Then we just spent the rest of the day playing with his toys at my mom’s.

Then we had Caden’s homecoming meeting. He did a good job speaking. He talked for over 30 minutes. Then we had major people over to my mom’s house. All I want to say about that is I am so very glad to have that over.

I had Daxton for New Years Eve and he was so funny. I decided that we were going to try to stay up to bring the New Year in. He was so tired. I felt bad but at the same time I had so much fun. We had RaCinda, Kalie, Abbie and Mandy and Caden over. Right before midnight Daxton got delirious and he was laughing so hard and there is nothing better then that. Then we moved the furniture for the homecoming and we were playing Rock Band and Daxton went to sit down and the couch was moved and he fell right on the floor. When he got up he said, “Hey, who cut the couch off!” It was the perfect way to end a year and start a new one, with laughter.
