We had a lot of fun in Glamis we need to go again soon. Here is the clan:
(from left to right - top to bottom)

Kevin, Heidi, me, Boyce
Emery, Callen, Cordell, Colton
Kayzen, Cambria and Julian

And of course we took Sage with us. He loves to go camping. Here he is in travel mode in our new 5th Wheel -

Glamis has an area where all these 5th wheels set up and sell all sorts of stuff. I didn't get a picture of it but it was like nothing I have ever seen. Really cool place to hang out. This kids had so much fun. They played football, searched for hidden treasures with the metal detector and of course 4wheeled. Here they are taking a break (in front of Kevin and Heidi's rig) from their hard time at play to enjoy an ice cream.

Here is Kevin working on his Razor next to his trailer -

Heidi has the cutest dogs that she brought with her on the trip. Julian and Emery loved them. Bella and Bentley. Look how cute!

Boyce and I bought a used 5th wheel over the holidays and we love it. We broke it in when we went to Glamis with our friends Heidi and Kevin. Glamis is like a huge sand dune that is on the border of Mexico. We left the day after Christmas and it was a long drive but worth it. At our camp sight the kids had their own 4wheeling track that we blocked off.

Christmas was really good to us. We felt a lot of love through the month which is important to us. The kids didn't get a ton but they were very grateful for what they got. Julian was excited about everything, even the mints he got. Our dog sage was pumped for his little chew toys Santa brought him which is so cute to see. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

I got to go to Emery's Christmas program this year and she did really well. She looked so cute doing her little jig.

Time for the Carriage Ride!

Jeremy was our horse this year and he made it through -

After we left the Hospital we went down town to see the temple lights. How pretty they are. I love to do this with my family every year, it never gets old.

Tis the season to be jolly and it was. Christmas spirit was everywhere this year. We did our annual Build a Bear for Primary Children's Hospital again this year and all the kids understood its importance this year which was good. Here are the kids outside the Hospital with the bears they made. All named after our kids -

Time to decorate the Tree again. We didn't have time to go cut our own down because of our Maui trip so we just used the one we had in storage but it turned out very nice. All the kids helped with the decorations and Julian was my little supervisor making sure everything was just right.

This is Callen and Emery's first year playing recreational basketball and I think they both liked it. I think that this is really Emery's sport. She did so good and looked so athletic out there, it was really fun to watch.

Cordell on the fast break with his brother beside him -

We are back to reality now feeling energized after such a relaxing week. Heading into Basketball season with all of the kids playing this year. Callen, Emery and Julian all having the #13 (dad's favorite number) and this year Cordell and Callen are on the same team with their dad coaching. My camera was being funny so these pictures are a little blurry.

Here is Callen at the line -

Here we are again up in the air. We reached 1200 feet.

We just found our memory chip from our Para-sailing adventure we did in Maui first of December and thought we would share them. Here we are taking off from the boat. If you have never para-sailed I suggest you try. It is so fun and relaxing and beautiful all at the same time.

We are now into December, end of the year already. Boyce and I had the opportunity to go to Maui again room and flights paid so we had to take it. It was a very relaxing trip that was needed after such a busy year. While we were there we para sailed and went to a women's surfing competition held by BillaBong along the North shore. It was so cool to see them surf the waves and to actually see such big waves. It went for 2 days, here are some shots of the girl who won it.
