A Wonderful Christmas!

Christmas was wonderful this year! We stayed in Utah and didn't do the drive to California. We had just done it at Thanksgiving so that was a nice break! Jeff's brother's came into town and we all spent Christmas Eve together with the kids so hyper and excited for Santa to come! My niece is just the cutest thing and Jake and her decided to entertain us all with princess christmas music, ballet dancing and Jake's breakdancing. It was so funny and I have really good blackmail pictures for when he gets older!! The boys woke up (REALLY EARLY!!) to find what Santa left. Tyler got an IPOD Nano, and Ryan and Jacob got new bikes. We opened a bunch of gifts at our house before heading over to grandma's. Then we opened even more! I was surprised we could even see each other under all the wrapping paper! The boys got some really nice gifts from everyone. One gift was left in an envelope hidden in the tree. It was from my dad in California. So, thanks to grandpa, we are heading up north on Friday to play in the snow, shop a little in SLC, stay in a hotel and then wake up Saturday and go to the Steel Thunder Jam. It is a show full of Monster Trucks and Motocross. My boys dream! Then, to top it off, he included a pit pass for us to spend two hours before the show with the drivers and motocross riders. The boys were literally screaming when they heard this! We can't wait to on Friday! Although we just heard it is supposed to snow Saturday so we might be staying Saturday night too if the weather is too bad! Friday morning one of my sister in laws and I headed out early to find all the good deals at the sales. The boys and the kids all headed up to Pine Valley to play in the snow. What a great holiday we had! I hope everyone has a good New's Year's Eve! We are heading to First Night, if you haven't gone before, it's alot of fun, full of entertainment, fun things for the kids and good food! I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!

Christmas Programs

All three boys were in some kind of Christmas program. Tyler is in the school choir and they had a performance last night, Ryan's 2nd grade did a program and Jacob's Kindergarten did a program as well. They all did great and it was alot of fun going to watch them! I love the holidays but especially when you get to see your kids in programs! Good job boys!

Finally!!! Wahoo!!

Well, It's official, Jeff has completed the necessary courses and assignments towards his Bachelor of Science with an emphasis in Natural Resources!! It took 6 years to complete this. I was pregnant with Jacob during his first class (his class even brought me balloons in the hospital because they had class that day and Jeff missed!) and now six years later, after lots of happenings in the Warner household, kids turning 6 years older, and life just going on, he has finished! During the last 6 years there have been lots of times when we sat down and thought "Is this worth it?" A year ago he lost his dad and that had to have been the very worst semester of all but he stuck through it. He had to miss some things with the boys, but very few of them I might add! But, now today, we know why we stuck with it and why we made some sacrifices that we did throughout the way. We are a stronger family because of this 6 year ordeal! I am so proud of Jeff for being an example to our boys that no matter what, if you stick your mind to it and have the support of your family you can do anything you set your mind too! The boys are so excited for him as well. Most of Ryan's and all of Jacob's memorable life dad has been in school. One of them even said, "You mean your not going to work anymore dad?" I think they thought that school was his work! Which alot of times, it was! His senior project was on a study of a lake that was part of his responsibility for his job with the state, so really it all went hand in hand. So, because of me being so proud of him (and excited too that he doesn't have to go to another class and that he won't have to have all nighters on the computer, because I always felt guilty going to bed and leaving him out there so I slept on the couch until he went to bed!!!!) I had a dinner planned with some friends of ours. It was all a surprise to him (he says he knew, but don't believe him!) Red Robin just opened in our area so I had everyone go there and told Jeff that he and I were going to dinner. We got there and 10 of our friends were there to surprise him! All 12 of us had a fun dinner and then afterwards Jeff and I ran to get some Christmas shopping done while we had a babysitter!! Overall, it was a great night and one that Jeff will remember. Thanks to you guys who all went out with us! I know there were a few more that wanted to be there but were gone for the weekend, so thanks to everyone and way to go babe! P.S Here you go, those of you who thought I would have this up tonight!!!hahaha
