Christmas 2010

Every year my mom does "notes" they are cleverly written poems that guide us to a room in the house to were our "big" gift is at... this is me and Jeff reading them for the kids. We look forward to these every year! This year she just did them for the grand children and all the notes were folded into paper airplanes.

Jay Jay opening a gift

Me opening our "sibling" gifts we got these from Tiffany and Cameron. I have already put them to good use! love them! thanks Tiffany.

We all went out and played football in the back yard. It was such a nice day, the sun was shining and not too cold. It was seriously warm enough to wear a short sleeve shirt! It was A LOT of fun, until the next morning when it felt like I had gotten hit by a truck! I couldn't move! I didn't realise how out of shape I really was!

After our Christmas at my parents house we all went over to my grandparents house to wish them a merry Christmas. We rode in Style in the back of the trailer caroling on our way! :)

My son the pirate!! He got it for Christmas and wore it to my parents house. He would NOT take that thing off ALLLL day! The eye patch and earring were a permanent fixture in every picture!

Too bad none of my own children like to take pictures with me! This is little Sid and me on Christmas. She loves me!

Finally a pic of me and my husband... story behind it... I told him he couldn't have the controller to watch his beloved lakers play until he took a picture with me! (too bad they lost bad!) It's too bad that is the only way I can get a picture with me and my husband!

me and Malrie.

Brydee.. school update

div>

At the beginning of the School year Brydee started off at Bloomington Elementary, where me and some of my siblings went and also where my mom drives the school bus. After attending their for a few weeks we found out that Brydee got accepted to George Washington Academy. We struggled with the decision of what to do, do we keep her where she was or start her over at a new school? When all was said and done we decided to change schools. She is at a private school and she has to wear a uniform every day it is darling! On Wednesday Brydee had her back to school parent teacher conference. This is what the teacher had to say...

The teacher changes the kids seats about every week so they can sit by someone new. The teacher said EVERYONE fights over who gets to sit by Brydee! She went on to say that at recess EVERYONE wants to play with her! Cause she is so sweet and nice. The teacher said Brydee includes everyone and she is nice to everyone and people attract to that. As far as academics go she is doing AMAZING! She definitely gets her smarts from her Aunt Amy cause its not Me or Jeff, or the whole Trask side for that matter. hahaha! Brydee is becoming such a good little reader, She can sound out all her letters and tell you what something says! she would read all day or have someone read to her all day if I let her. She is doing great in math too, maybe the only thing is the teacher said when the math problems are side ways instead of up and down its harder for her to do. (Don't worry Brydee, same for me too and I'm 24!) But maybe other than that she is excelling and doing great!! Brydee has come such a long ways in these last couple a months especially socially. She use to be really shy at school and only fold her arms and cry every day she had to go to school but now she is blossoming into a beautiful smart little girl and Me and her dad couldn't be prouder!! Love ya Brydee!!

Spiders, Pirates, and Cats, OH MY...

Some of these pics were taken with my phone so they aren't the greatest quality, but oh well. We went to my parents ward Trunk or Treat on Saturday. It was a lot of fun. The kids were so excited for Halloween I swear they put their costumes on Friday morning and didn't take them off for two days!

Sunday dinner & pictures

Sunday was my parents day to have us all over for dinner. It was a disasterous dinner. hahaha I had to say that cause my mom is SOO hard on herself, if it doesn't taste perfect then its a disaster. We are not picky eaters by any means but this dinner was... We will just say we've had better :) ha! After dinner was great we went outside and sat on chairs and it felt so good! So we pulled out the camera and took pictures.

Me and Heather

Me and Mallory

This picture of me and Becks makes me laugh cause I tried taking a picture of me and Jayge and he wouldn't and beckham yells, "I will auntie B, I'll take a picture with you!!" and ran right up to me and says... CHEESE! It was so cute I couldn't resist!

hahaha... we aren't camera shy.

We are a little Weird

Me, Heather and mallory were taking pictures with out Tiffany so we called tiffany outside to take pictures with us.... she doesn't enjoy picture taking like we do. notice her enthusiasm? :)

Me and my Dad!

Me and my mom!

The Cabin...

don't really know what I'm doing in this picture? but here is the cabin from one angle.

We went up to a cabin last weekend over labor day weekend. It was a lot of fun. MY whole family (my parents, all my sibling and their spouses, and their children) all went together. It was a lot of fun!

We played some horse shoes!

We are pretty serious competitors!

This picture is HILARIOUS, Heather took it of them, They didn't even know she was taking it, this is not a pose for the camera, this is just them winding up to throw their horse shoe! haha!

Me and my husband

Bailee Jaine. The cabin had huge decks on every side of it! it was gorgeous.

Brydee An

Corben and Brydee, best buds.

The cabin is nestled up the Selina Canyon in Utah, it sits on about 40 acers, has three stories and slept all 12 adults and 8 grand children easy! It's about a 3 hour drive for us. It was nice to get away and enjoy the out doors! We had NO cell phone service, no TV, no Internet, just the pleasure of one anothers company! We had a lot of fun! It was all made possible by my sister in law Andy! it is her family's cabin. thanks a lot Andrea!
