I have really enjoyed spending time with my brother and his family. Lately because our kids have been involved with a play together, we have seen much more of them. I love my brother and his wife Janelle and all their kids so much. They are some of my favorite people in the world to be with. Janelle invited my family to go to the festival of lights at Tuachan. Jason and I have never been there but it was really fun. We had dinner at Janelle's first and then went to Tuachan. Following the nativity scene, I got to have Ellie and Jaydon sleep over. They are so sweet. We had a great time.

Still Going Private but....

I am going to go private in about a week or so. I want everyone who wants to read my blog to leave their email address for me. Please don't hesitate to let me know your emails.

The reason I am going private is because of some people's opinions on what my boundaries should be on what I write. I had someone think I am depressed and suicidal??? I looked back at all my entries and have NO IDEA where someone would get that idea. I don't think I can write on this blog and not be real because I don't know how to "pretend" to be perfect when I am not. I look back at my blog that I have made 183 journal entries about me and my family. I will forever treasure this history. I wish I could be public only because I think it is easier to get to each others blogs that way but I am not blogging for you or for the world... I am blogging for me and my family so I'd like to continue privately so I am free to say how I feel. This is history, this is me. If you really know me, you know I am not depressed or suicidal! I just struggle with my weight. Wow, I guess I am the only one???

This has been a CRAZY busy month so far. I can't believe that Christmas is around the corner. My heart was touched last night when a gift was left on our doorstep from a SECRET SANTA. I have no idea who it was but my kids were so excited and I was emotional to think that there are so many giving people in this world. Thank you to whoever you are!!! I have been blessed so many times.

Going Private!!

Leave me your email address and I'll give you an invite.

Computer Problems.

My computers both got a really bad virus. I am really having a hard time getting them to work so I probably won't be posting much or commenting on anyones blogs. I am so sick about the virus. I wish I had been more careful. Hopefully they'll be up and running soon. I wish my husband was a computer guy in times like these. It is hard to get someone to help you fix it when you are broke!! Luckily I can still have the internet on my phone so I can write and read blogs but I can't comment. Anyway, That is all....

Warning: FAcebook friends: DO NOT OPEN ANY EMAILS FROM ME OR ANY FRIEND ON FACEBOOK THAT SHOWs A VIDEO OR LINK..... This is how I got the virus and it is spreading like crazy!!!

Our Christmas performance....

Jaycee decided it would be cute to have matching clothes AND matching hairdo's. Then she wanted matching lipstick. It was a blast.

I had so much fun with Jaycee last night. She and I have been practicing so much. Jaycee did a solo and we did a duet together along with some solos from me. We sang at the Dixie Center for the St. George Fire department Christmas Party. I just loved having my little girl with me. I thought she'd get nervous and not sing loud but she did AWESOME. I posted the video below. I was such a proud MOMMA.

Every picture of Jaycee, she had red eyes and I tried to fix them with Photoshop but it still looks a little funny. I am just glad to have the pictures. OH I hate the faces I make when I sing. ha ha ha. So of course I don't like to see myself on the video but I had to post it because of Jaycee's part. She just was so intense and into it.

7 year old girl sings Santa Claus is coming to town.

Here is Jaycee at her performance last night.

Jaycee and Mom duet - Silver Bells.

I forgot to video this duet in our performance so I we did it at home.
