Santa's been here and is on his way to your house!

As you can see Santa has already made his stop at the Martell's. Since he knew about our trip to Disneyland he made an early stop at G & G Martells so that we could get out of here early. Hope he made the stop at your house! Merry Christmas




























Happy Birthday Missy!!!!!

Happy Belated Birthday Missy! How could I not blog about the best friend ever. She is such a good listener and always full of life. I am thankful for our friendship and want to wish her a happy birthday. Love ya Girl!!!










This week in pictures!
















We had a wild and crazy week. Here are some pictures. This is the short and sweet version of our week. The boys had no school all week until Friday Trenton was able to go for a short time to have his party. It was fun but fast! Trenton had his holiday skate party and Crew even got to get some skates on....I'm afraid it will be awhile until Crew learns to skate. We got to spend time with lots of family and friends. We had our company party at Cinco and it turned out ok. Papa made the boys new hats and they just love them. Won't go anywhere without them. As you can see we are all alittle baby hungry around here. The boys want to know every time they hold a baby if it is ours. Sorry boys....maybe sometime soon. Last but not least we had tons of snow here. The boys have loved playing in it. Trenton was invited to a friends birthday party at ChuckECheese so we all joined him. It was so fun! It has been a great week and we are thankful for our friends and family! May you all have a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

Sssooooo CCCCold

This week has sure been one to remember! I don't know if I want to remember all of it but for the most part it was good. Our theme for 2009 in Primary is My Eternal Family so we worked on this bulletin board with the other ward and now we are matting each families picture in black and putting them around the temple. I will post more as we get it done! We also are all ready for Christmas with the gifts for the primary kiddos and we took treats to all the teachers and other primary workers today. SO I feel a little more relieved. I hope to get our families gifts wrapped and ready for next week. Oh and I just remembered that I better start packing for Disneyland!!!!! Yahooooo!!!!! Well the boys wrote their letters to Santa awhile ago but we just got around to going to the mall to send them and visiting Santa. All Trenton wants is a DS game and Crew would like a Zamboni. Wow Santa has it easy this year! Brent and I were able to go to the temple with a group of friends and then back to our house for some goodies and a long round of "I've Never". I know we had fun and I learned lots about everybody. Saturday was little Gavin's birthday party. Talk about a cute kid and an awesome party. His mommy made such a cute cake, she colored all the decorations and made a fabulous dinner and I even liked the chicken that Steven over cooked :) Trenton loves Gav so much that he decided to miss the hockey game to stay and party with him. Crew on the other hand was excited to go to the game with his Pops as he calls him. As you can see Trenton was sooooooo excited about the snow.....you would have thought he had never seen it before. It is sure beautiful but it is soooo cold out, I hope its warm in Cali.

Christmas is just around the Corner!

We had a fun filled week. We started the week decorating the house and tree. I did all the little stuff and Brent did the whole tree all by himself. Doesn't it look AWESOME??? I am thankful he learned so much from working at his Mom's gift shop. The boys had art projects and Aunt Nellie gave us a gingerbread house kit to do.....it was so fun. I made it through my first Primary Activity. It was pretty easy, I didn't have to plan it some of the girls did the invites and we showed up to some very happy old folks and sang our hearts out. Trenton really enjoyed it especially all the treats! It was PJ day on Friday so Trenton got to get in his Christmas Pj's and eat porridge. It was so cute to see all the different Pj's. Brent and I went to a fun holiday party at our friends the Lotts and enjoyed some good games and no I didn't end up with the toilet seat it was a hot item. We ended up with a cute chocolate house and Ned's Head (a children's game). The next morning Missy and I had a baby shower for our friend Amber who is due in like 8 days, it was very fun and lots of people came. Crush and Squirt are doing great, loving their home and we keep adding new things to make it more enjoyable. We are all so excited for Christmas and all that it has to teach us about our Savior. I love this time of year and look forward to the next few weeks.

Trenton's Friend Party, Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Christmas Decorating!

We had a great week together surrounded by friends and family. As you know Trenton's birthday is the 28th so we let him take a few friends to dinner and the hockey game. He chose to go to his favorite "OLIVE GARDEN" for dinner and then to the game. The boys had a blast and it was fun to see Trenton have the time of his life. Crew also enjoyed being with his big brother and all of his friends. We woke up on Thanksgiving and relaxed for awhile and then headed over to Brent's parents before we went to my parents for the big feast. It was very yummy and we ate our hearts out. I just love this time of year! The boys had the best time with their cousins drinking chocolate malts, eating pie in the hot tub and wrestling whenever possible. I don't look forward to training my children how to obey and not be so wild, but it is all worth it. Friday morning came way to early with Missy picking me up at 3:40am to make it to our annual Black Friday shopping. We got lots of fun stuff and can't wait until Christmas morning. This year will be a little different because we are going to Disneyland that day but it will be a time never forgotten. Today we started the Christmas decorating. The boys are so funny this year, they are all into it. Wanting to help with everything. So fun. I love my family and look forward to making lots more memories.
