random happenings....

So most often, this is how I find Jacey....not so much with the hangers wound around her waist but with a bare bum. I have a yet to dedicate a post to potty training but that is coming. It has been the biggest nightmare - to put it mildly. At any rate, I cannot keep a diaper or underwear on her. In fact, I am doing pretty good if I can at least keep her in a shirt. Heaven help us.

A cow got out while we were home so Grandma, Jacey, and I went to fix the fence. Jacey loves her Grandma's. She prays for her Grandma's several times a day. It's pretty cute.


Me and Rustin were on the Ward Christmas Party Committee this year and I'm so mad I didnt take a picture because we did a bang up job on the decorations. It turned out so good. My friend from Paradise (well he is more like my second Dad) made a Nativity scene and it looked amazing! We asked a couple who just had a  baby to be Mary and Joseph and we had pretty Christmas Hymns playing and it was very effective. It turned out great. We covered all the tables with butcher paper and spread crayons and Christmas stamps down the middle of the tables so the kids could color instead of running around. We borrowed tons of Christmas trees to decorate the stage for the singing and entertainment. It turned out so great. I just wish I would have gotten a picture. 


Me and Rustin, Rustin's Dad, and Jay (our brother-in-law) went up Canal Canyon to hunt for a Christmas tree. It was so weird not to have snow but it sure make the hiking easier.











We did really well this year. The tree's we got were really pretty and quite perfect. It was a beautiful hike and great company. The tree cutting tradition is one of my favorites and even if there was no snow and even if we didnt actually use a real tree because we didnt want to figure out how to haul it to Wellsville when we have a hand-me-down fake tree in our basement, I STILL love the tradition. Its not quite as fun has piling on the tractor like we did all growing up, but I do enjoy it just the same.




We had a Walker Christmas Party and this is Tyce waiting patiently for everyone to quit eating so he could open his present. It was so funny, for a long time all the adults were eating and visiting and the kids were running around playing, and Tyce just sat on this chair waiting for his present. He was seriously, outside his mind with excitement! 



Tyce has such an excitable personality which made Christmas SO much fun. I sure love my little buddy.
