Snow day in St. George??? & Sandra's gotta new MAN!!

Snow day in St.George!
We had a request by my mom the day it snowed.
It was to make her a new man.
Preferably ...
No beard and a great smile!
Check and check!
We've got your back mom!

Meet... Mr.Man!!!
He has dreamy hair, great eyebrow:),
brown eyes like Hudson
and the best smile eeeever!
Oh and did I mention he dresses like he is straight out of a GQ magazine!?
That's right he's hot!
Well ummm... maybe not hot, but very coool;)!
I mean what man do you know that can pull off walnut buttons, a blue Tie and still look that good!!
And look at all that hair,
it kinda looks like Edwards???

Hp was a little confused about gram's new man???

{SMILE}

PICTURE TIME!!!

WE ALSO HAD TO DO A LITTLE POSING!

HE PRETENDS TO NOT HEAR US A LOT!!!!!

UMM GOT TO LOVE MY BOYS!

HUDSON AND CHRIS DOING WHAT THEY DO BEST!!
(GIVING ME A HEART ATTACK)

AND THAT'S HOW WE HAVE A AWESOME SNOW DAY ONLY TWICE A YEAR!

{PiNe VaLlEy}

WE WENT UP TO PINE VALLY THE DAY AFTER NEW YEARS TO GO TUBING!

WE HAD A LOT OF FUN GOING WITH THE HAIDERS, CAMERON'S BROTHER CODY, SMASH, AYDEN AND MY MOM!


IT WAS A BUSY DAY IN PINE VALLEY I THINK EVERYONE HAD THE SAME IDEA!

HUDSON WAS NOT LIKING IT AT ALL, SO HIM AND GRAM'S WENT BACK TO THE CAR TO WARM UP AND MAKE A NEW FRIEND!

SOMETHING TO KEEP US ENTERTAINED AS WE WAITED FOR OUR TUBERS TO COME DOWN THE HILL!
{ WE THOUGHT WE WERE PRETTY FUNNY}

HUD LIKED GOING DOWN THE HILL WITH HIS DADA!
CHRIS WOULD SHOW HIM OFF LIKE HE WAS THE BABY LION ON THE LION KING MOVIE!

SMASH AND AYDEN ARE THE CUTEST LITTLE TWINS!

I LOVED THE SCENERY.
IT WAS SOO FUN TO GET OUT OF st.George WITH THE FAMILY!

{HP}

SO I LET HUDSON EAT HIS FOOD ALL BY HIMSELF THE OTHER DAY.
I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WOULD DO WITH IT...
AND SURE ENOUGH, I LOOKED OVER AND IT WAS ON THE FLOOR!
BUT CAN I JUST SAY HE IS THE CUTEST LITTLE "ALL BY HIMSELF EATER!"
I LOVE YOU MY LITTLE MAN!

Bring on the new year!!!!!

WE HAVE HAD A PRETTY CRAZY YEAR. I'M NOT TOO SAD TO SEE 2010 GO!
THANK GOODNESS HUDSON IS APART OF OUR LIVES AND WE HAVE OUR FAMILY AROUND.

WE BROUGHT THIS YEAR IN GOOD. WE WENT OVER TO MY/GRANDMA AND GRANDPA LAIDLAW'S HOUSE AND PLAYED GAMES, ATE, AND MORE GAMES AND MORE EATING. "THAT'S RIGHT, WE KNOW HOW TO BRING IN A NEW YEAR!" WITH FOOD!
CHRIS HAD TO WORK :( THAT PART WASN'T BRINGING THE NEW YEAR IN RIGHT, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WE DID BROUGHT IT IN RIGHT. MY GRANDPA AND GRAMS LOVE TO PLAY FIVE CROWNS & THE MEXICAN TRAIN.
WE HAD SOME WINNERS AND LOSER,
THANK GOODNESS THESE TWO WINNERS AND LOSERS ARE SISTERS.
NO NOT ME AND MEG, BUT MY MOM AND MY SECOND MOM /AUNT LORA.
THEY HAVE HAD MANY YEARS OF PRACTICE PLAYING NICE TOGETHER!
(HEEEHEEE NOT!)
WE HAD A LOT OF FUN AND HOPE THIS WILL BE A NEW TRADITION!!!

LOVE+MARRIAGE+ BABY= MCH!

Megan and Cameron sitting in the tree

K-i-s-s-i-n-g!

First comes love.

Then comes marriage.

Then comes baby in the baby carriage!

My little sister is going to have a baby. It came as a surprise to all of us. We are so excited for Cameron and her. They truly are going to be the best parents ever. Since they already take great care of my little man, my brothers Girlfriend's kids, and babysits 3 other cute family members! They know what the are getting into. If you ask me they have nothing to be worried about. They are going to be the most experienced first parents I will ever know. THIS IS HOW MY SISSY AND HER HUBBY TOLD ME SHE WAS PREGO. THIS CUTE PICTURE WAS PINNED ONTO HP'S SHIRT!

CHRISTMAS MORNING @MY MOM'S

WE MADE THIS FOR MY MOM AND A FEW OTHERS FOR CHRISTMAS.
I GOT THE IDEA FROM ANOTHER BLOG AND LOVED IT,
SO DID MY MOM.

AS YOU CAN SEE WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR.
IT WAS DIFFERENT BUT IT TURNED OUT REALLY GOOD!

AFTER WE GOT DONE WITH THE HEWARD'S, I CAME HOME TO MY MOM'S WHILE THE BOYS SLEPT.
MY MOM AND I MADE A NEW FAMILY TRADITION CAUSE WE NEEDED ONE.
WE MADE THE CASSEROLE FROM THE MOVIE FAMILY STONE
{ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CHRISTMAS MOVIES}
AND SOME ORANGE ROLLS, CAUSE WE CAN HAVE THAT KIND OF STUFF IN OUR HOUSE NOW!
I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S A GOOD THING OR BAD I THINK WE MIGHT ALL GET FAT!

AROUND 11:30 AM EVERYONE SHOWED UP.
WE OPENED OUR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS AND WATCHED THE KIDS RIDE ON THEIR NEW BIKES.
WE HAD A BLAST.
P.S. MOM WE NEVER DID THE PICKLE!!!!!!!!
{WE NEED TO DO THAT}
WE ALWAYS HIDE A PICKLE ON THE TREE AND THEN EVERYONE TRIES TO FIND IT. THE FIRST ONE THAT FINDS IT GETS MOVIE TICKETS!!!
SCORE!


MY MOM'S HOUSE WAS MAGICAL
{AS IT ALWAYS IS FOR CHRISTMAS}
WHEN YOU WALK IN IT SMELLED OF PINE TREES,WAS WARM, PRETTY AND SPARKLY!
I REALLY LOVED IT THIS YEAR!
SHE DECORATED IT DIFFERENT FOR A NEW CHAPTER IN OUR LIFES.

CHRISTMAS MORNING @ THE HEWARD'S

THIS YEAR WE WOKE UP EARLY! MORE LIKE REALLY REALLY EARLY .
WE WANTED MY CUTE MOTHER IN-LAW TO SPEND IT WITH US BEFORE SHE HAD TO GO TO WORK.

WHEN WE GOT TO THE HEWARD'S SANTA'S HELPERS ALWAYS WRAP UP THE OPENING TO THE CHRISTMAS TREE, SO THE LITTLE KIDDIES CANT SNEAK IN AND OPEN UP THE PRESENTS BEFORE MOM AND DAD GET UP , WHICH I LOVE AND HOPE SANTA WILL START DOING THAT AT OUR HOME WHEN WE GET ONE!

HUDSON LOOOOVED IT!

WE HAD A FEW TEARS FROM THE LITTLE ONES BUT NOTHING TO BAD SINCE THEY DID WAKE UP EARLY. BUT FOR THE MOST PART HUDSON AND BRINLEY WERE ONCE AGAIN THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY.
THOSE TWO ARE FUUUNNY TOGETHER.
BRINLEY ALWAYS PATS HUDSON'S HEAD AND HUD FOLLOWS HER AROUND GETTING IN TO ALL SORTS OF THINGS,
MOSTLY THE DISH CUPBOARD.{ POOR GRANDMA}!

WE ARE SOOO GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO SPEND CHRISTMAS ALL TOGETHER.

LAIDLAW CHRISTMAS EVE PARTY!!!

WE PLAYED GAMES.

TRADITIONS TRADITIONS TRADITIONS!
I ONCE WAS CALLED THE TRADITION KEY KEEPER BY MY GRANDPA LAIDLAW.
I THINK IT'S CAUSE I ALWAYS NOTICE IF WE CHANGE THINGS OR DON'T DO OUR TRADITIONS AND I MEAN ALWAYS!!!!
OUR FAMILY TAPIOCA PUDDING WITH THE ALMOND TRADITION.
IS THE FAMILY'S FAVORITE, ALONG WITH GRANDPA PLAYING THE ACCORDION AND
GRANDMA AND GRANDPA SINGING YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE.
WE DIDN'T WIN THE MONEY THIS YEAR :( BUT....
NEXT YEAR WE WILL WIN THE TAPIOCA PUDDING TRADITION!

AND HUDSON PLAYED WITH THE TOYS.

HEWARD CHRISTMAS EVE.

HUDSON AND I WENT TO THE HEWARD'S CHRISTMAS EVE PARTY FIRST.
IT WAS GREAT THE SYPHUS FAMILY CAME OVER, CHANTELLE, ADAM AND BRINLEY CAME OVER AND UNCLE CASEY MADE IT TOO!
I LOVE THE TRADITIONS WE HAVE WITH THEM.
WE ALWAYS HAVE SOUP BUT
NOT JUST ANY SOUP.... JAN'S CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP. (LOOOOOVE IT!)
WE WATCH THE NATIVITY AND THEN PLAY GAMES.

Laidlaw family Christmas party.......

SANTA, SANTA, SANTA!!!

THIS YEAR WAS A REALLY FUN LAIDLAW CHRISTMAS PARTY.
WE HAD A VERY SPECIAL GUESS COME TO THE PARTY!
THAT'S RIGHT SANTA!
THE KIDS WERE IN LOVE AND ALSO A LITTLE SCARED.

EVERY ONE TOOK A TURN TO SIT ON SANTA'S LAP!
MY GRANDPA WAS THE BIGGEST SURPRISE TO OUR FAMILY TO SIT ON SANTA'S LAP!
WE HAVE A LOT OF BIG BIG KIDS IN THE FAMILY I'M GLAD SANTA IS STRONG.LOL!

MY GRANDPA PLAYS THE ACCORDION, AND HAS FOR YEARS.
WE ALSO DID THE Nativity THIS YEAR SINCE WE HAVE A LOT OF KIDS.
IT WAS SOO CUTE AND FUNNY, SOME TOOK THEIR ROLLS REALLY SERIOUS!
THAT'S WHAT MADE IT EVEN BETTER.
THEY ALL DID SUCH A CUTE JOB!

BUT IF YOU ASK ME I THINK SANTA SHOULD BE PUT ON THE NAUGHTY LIST!
WHAT DO YOU THINK????
