Now that Christmas is about here, I felt like I should finally update my blog since it has been awhile. Thanksgiving was great this year...all my family went to Arizona this year and Rodger and I couldn't go because Costco wouldn't let me get work off so it ended up being just my little family, we had a blast!!! One of the members of our gym has a condo in Brian Head Resort and offered it to us so as soon as I got off work the night before Thanksgiving we drove an hour and spent the night there. Our room had a great view of the snow and the mountains and it was so pretty. We woke up and made breakfast and played in the snow, and then there was an indoor pool and jacuzzi hot tub that we played in for about an hour. Then we went back out and played in the snow once we dried off and we found a hill for Rodger to snowboard and I was his shuttle. I was going to go but the snow wasn't the greatest and I hadn't been snowboarding in 3 years so I was a little nervous to do it, but Rodger had fun and the girls and I video taped it and watch him crash a couple of times. Then we thought we would go back and make out Thanksgiving dinner which consisted of Ribs, potatoes with gravy and corn, but instead of doing that we thought we would just go make the mess at our house instead so we cleaned up the room and drove home and made our dinner about 6 p.m. It was definately a different Thanksgiving and it would have been nice to see family but we had a lot of fun. My camera died so the only pictures I got from it are on my new phone and I haven't figured out how to get the pictures off of it yet.
Recently I have quit my job at Costco which has been such a blessing. Rodger and I got to the point that we were always working and our girls didn't get to see us all together, it was either time with me..switch...then to the sitter...switch
...then time with there Dad and so on and so on...I couldn't take it anymore, it was really hard to watch our kids cry when we left and have them constantly saying they don't want me to work anymore. So, Rodger and I decided that Costco was out of the picture...I have only been done there for three days and I couldn't feel better about our decision, and I love being a mom...it is my calling in life, and I'm done leaving it to someone else. Anyways, what better time to quit then right before Christmas. I am so excited this year and Tayler is stoked.

We went and saw santa the other day and Naomi loved him which was surprising because as you can see the year before she was scared to death of him. I love CHRISTMAS!!!

I have to say I totally support your decision to stay home! I have only been working about 2 shifts a month for 3 years now and it is so worth it! Yeah there are plenty of things that we go without or have to sacrifice on but I wouldn't trade it! I know you'll be so happy and you'll never get that time back with your kiddos! Sounds like a great Thanksgiving! I wish we could get together sometime soon! I would love to see you and meet your cute little family!
Good for you Jenny! You know I totally support at home moms. It's so much better for the kids to have their own mom in the home. You will probably miss that extra income but no paycheck will ever make up for missing some of the best times in your child's life. Way to go.
That is so great that you finally get to stay home! I have also had to sacrifice a lot in the last couple of years to be able to stay at home but it's definitely worth it. I'm coming to Hurricane for like a week and half (24th-5th) and I would love to see you. Now that your not working, I'm sure it will be a lot easier to get together. Just call me when ever you are in Hurricane or at you your mom's house. We are in the process of getting new cell phones so you will probably have to call my parent's house.
Woo hoo! Now we can actually see you when we're in town! Hope your Christmas is great!
Missed you guys for Thanksgiving, but I'm glad you still had a good time.
I was so excited for you when I heard you quit Costco to stay home with the girls! It all works out, I promise ! Sorry we missed you guys at Christmas!
