Christmas Pics

Christmas Morning at the Frei house!

We always try to take a picture of ourselves in the matching pajamas, this time the camera was set up on the high chair and I was in charge of hitting the timer button then bail'n on to the couch, here's what we got:



I hid Ky in this one, whoops.


I just love this picture of Ann and my mom, they both just have a little twinkle in their eye.


Just hang'n out.

Grama Cottam bought these Santa hats, of course me'n Ky would be the ones to wear'm. I have a picture of us both with them on from high school too-some people never grow up.


I took the camera to Emery County but no pics :(

Greetings from Emery County.
No Pics but I should be able to post some later. We had a great Christmas, and I hope everyone out there (in the vast blogger world) did as well.
Lets see...the week...
The Santa Clara and Virgin Rivers Flooded like crazy. I think that flood water is SO impressive but it just sad because it is SOOO destructive. They lost a lot of homes in Beaver Dam. Monday night was the Basketball Christmas Party/Team night it was fun we laughed pretty hard. We played Kanab on Tuesday my kids won by 9 but I never really felt comfortable with our lead and varsity escaped with a win. We practiced Wed and took Thurs off :) That meant I got it off too.
The final 5 days of Christmas were:
5 Fingered Gloves
4 New Shirts
3 Pair of Pants
2 Flip Flops
and 1 Honey Bear! I had fun with that. Then for Christmas Isaac was supposed to get a Levi quilt, which he did, it just still needs to be bound. It's cute though, it has his initials in Levi in the back (and a secret message too) it was fun. But I didn't whip it out as fast as I thought I'd be able too. I had fun visiting with my mom while I pieced it together and Grama Frei while I stitched it.
Christmas Eve dinner at my mom's, then Christmas breakfast (and family pics in our matching pajama's) it was fun having the little kids around. They go to town on tissue paper. Afterwards we headed north. We borrowed Grampa Frei's truck and pulled our truck up and dropped it off at the Salvage yard then headed to Emery County. We've had a good time. Family and Fun! Nathan and Melanie are here, their kids are warming up to us too, that's fun. Today we went to Primary with Ethan, (Isaac thought it was a little long but didn't realize he was missing Priesthood too) We also went over and visited with Grama and Bob, it was way fun we love to visit with them and they both seemed to be doing good.
I'm LOVING the break and the naps!
Bout it.
Oh wait how could I forget??? Isaac totally got the nativity scene for me!!! I LOVE IT! Next year...outside lights to go with :)

Here's our Cute little tree

When we were growing up we had this nativity scene in the front yard we set up bails of hay and stuff for the stable, anyway on the red hill, just to the east of us there is a huge star, I love it and I just want to put that nativity scene up...and have that star off in the east! The problem, my parents left if at their old house, but I grew up with the girl that lives there now, so I still think it is very attainable :-)
We'll see.

Monday was 12 days until Christmas :-) I've had a blast with that.
Isaac got
12 Scripture Markers
11 Hugs and Kisses
10 Durango Dollars
9 Packs of Gum
8 Bags of Chex Mix
7 Pairs of Socks
and 6 Saw Blades
...and the rest is a surprise :)

Santa's got his own little workshop going...so cute! I love this guy!


I love this time of year!! It's just fun, and finally school's out :) I'm pretty happy about that.

Basketball's pretty good, I'm enjoying it, the older kids drive me crazy but the Freshman work their guts out for me so I'm just happy I'm at where I'm at. When I try to think back on the week it all seems like a blur, it was all I could do to get to Sunday, but I made it :-). We had early practice on Wed, so that made it so we could go to the temple and have a little date night, that was fun. Friday our neighbors had a little party for our Sunday School class, I missed it for games but the word is it was great, and the leftovers were great! Saturday was the last day of Thunder Camp (Hallelujah!)
Oh and Isaac got to feel little guy move this week, that was pretty cool.
Word about little guy spread like wild fire at church today. I HATED THAT, I just get so upset and wish people would just keep their mouths shut but I'll complain more about that in my real journal and not the very public blog!

Ison Family Pics

Here's the Pics from the first of December:

WOW it's been a couple of crazy weeks. Where to start?
We had Ky and Kami up for dinner the other day, no toys around here yet but I had a bag of basketballs. I wish I had pics of Ann reaching for the basketball, so stink'n cute, gotta teach her young! Little Green was down in Vegas because Isaac had been down to the auction and picked up a different car so Tuesday, Isaac was taking me into the Dr. then school when the truck died, so he pulled it out of the road and Grama Frei rescued us and we took her car into the Dr. I didn't think the day could get worse but while we were in the waiting room the cops called Isaac, someone had hit our parked truck.
So he didn't come to the Dr. with me and my dad had to come pick me up and take me to work. I'm so thankful that we live by family and they could do it but I HATE being dependent on other people. Oh well it all worked out. Then last weekend we played up north. It was fun to actually play some games. I love those kids! Here's a pic of my freshman:


I left the Orem game early and drove to SL to catch a plane to Boise where Isaac and the his whole family were, our nephew Brandon got baptized. It was such a quick whirl wind trip but it was fun to see everyone and we got some good family pics Sunday morning too. Hopefully I'll be able to post them soon! Then Sunday 10 hour drive home. YUCK, I hate traveling but we made it, oh and that was my first trip in "Goldilocks" that's what Isaac's named the new car he bought. I kind of like this one, he's going to sell it, so I just enjoy driving it while we have it.

This week...more craziness. Monday?? Tuesday our family relations class. Wed-Sat TONS of basketball. I was so happy to see Sunday come. Its going by really fast though. I'm hoping to put our little tree up this afternoon. I plugged in one little strand of lights and I just keep telling Isaac how much I love Christmas lights. Oh and I talked him into the (free) little fake tree that was in my mom's garage because the season is slipping away. I love this time of year!!
