Home for Sale
We just put our home on the market and are selling For Sale by Owner. We figure we need as much help as we can get with publicity so I'm starting here. We have actually started a blog with lots of pictures and all the house information. I would love it if you guys would check it out and make any suggestions to the house or the blog. Make suggestions here instead of on the other blog since that's what potential buyers will see. There will be a permanent link on the right side of our blog that will direct you to the house blog should you want to get back to it at a later date or tell someone about it. The web address is our home address:

Thanks for your help.

Christmas Trip
These are just a few of the highlights in no particular order.
Saying goodbye to Brent's next oldest brother John, who will be moving out of the country in a few months for possibly several years with his wife and two kids.
Morgan ready for Collins family dodge ball. It was rather brutal but a good time was had by all.
Celebrating my little brother's 24th birthday.
Hanging out with Brent's old friends from high school. He was kind of a ladies man as you can imagine.
Morgan with her cousin Bailey who made the darling tutu and head band she is wearing.
Loving on one of her twin cousins.
Christmas morning when Morgan got her very own lap top from Santa.
My cousin Sarah and her 9 month old Douglas coming to visit.
Playing "Would you rather?" with Brent's family. She had to identify 3 smells blind folded. They were ruthless.
Liberty Ward Christmas Party hanging out with cousin Kasen and Grandma.
Attempting to see Santa. I was excited, Morgan was not.
Some activities not pictured:
Going to a couple school Christmas shows for nieces and nephews
Temple trip to do almost 300 ordinances for family members
Family Nativity
Progressive Dinner
Grinch gift swap
Making Gingerbread Houses
Paint balling
Christmas Eve Feast
New Years Rockin' Party
Going to Avatar 3D
Lots of eating, shopping, and lots of playing games
We hope your Christmas was as wonderful as ours. Nothing beats spending time with family.

Apron Time
My mom made me a darling apron for Christmas and I thought Morgan just had to have one. She gave me her scrap material, not with the apron in mind but just because I have time to sew, and I was able to make it work. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
Our Fourth Anniversary
Well sort of...
Our anniversary is on Dec. 17th. However, due to the inconvenient date, we have never really celebrated. Until this year. We just did it a little late on Dec. 29th. My mother graciously agreed to keep Morgan for the night so we headed to Sacramento. We ate at this nice Chinese restaurant called Fat's in downtown.
We loved the presentation of the food. And it tasted great too.
When we asked our waiter to take a picture, we told him it was our anniversary so he didn't think we were lame for wanting a picture. So then he brought us out complimentary slices of their banana cream pie. It was yummy.
Then we went to our hotel, Embassy Suites (made possible by the help of a friend who works for Hilton.) This is our view of the lobby from the 6th floor. Sorry the picture's a little blurry but you get the idea. We had a riverside view on the other side of our room. They had a manager's reception in the evening and a wonderful breakfast in the morning. There was also an indoor pool and spa we enjoyed.
The next day we went to Ikea and the Roseville Galleria. We got to meet up with a friend of mine from college and had a very enjoyable and memorable time. Thanks again mom.

A cold day at the park
New Years Eve in Chico, CA. We wanted to do something outdoors as a family so we found this cool park. Well Brent and my family knew where it was but it was new to me.
Riding the Teeter Totter with Grandma.
Going to get a drink with Aunt Rachel (my little sister)
Climbing through the Dragon's mouth.
Everyone going on a stroll around the park. It was actually quite nice. Morgan and Kasen enjoyed their rides in the stroller.
