Christmas Eve

It's tradition for us to eat dinner at my in-law's house. My Mom and Dad and Jamie and Dave came over also. We ate a yummy dinner and had way to many treats and snacks. Then we read a couple Christmas stories. After that we played an intense game of Bingo with lots of cool prizes. We make sure every year to have Larry play is accordion for us. Warner really liked it and was dancing around to the music. It was a super fun night being with our family! Ü

Bunko Christmas Dinner

We went to Yun's market for our Christmas dinner this year. The Korean food there is really yummy. After we ate we did a game with the gift exchange. Everyone got some really cute things. These girls are so fun to hang out with. I hope we keep playing Bunko for a really long time cause I would miss hanging out with these girls way to much! Can't wait to see what fun we will have all next year!! Ü

Temple Square Christmas Lights

We went with the Davis family to Temple square to see the lights and then we went to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner. It was super fun! Warner was bundled up so much he could barely move.

Twins grave for christmas

Jamie and I went to the twins grave to make sure all the decorations were still okay with all this snow we got lately. Jamie and Dave have a cute tree decorated and my mom and dad also brought a little tree to put there too. A lot of people have brought little ornaments and figurines for the kids it's so nice. I can't wait until they have there head stone. I'm sure they will wait for spring to put it up. I sure miss these babies and wish they were here with us. I know Jamie and Dave are having a hard time right now knowing they would have been with us this Christmas, but they are with us every day in spirit!

Dinner at Rickenbacker's with friends

A few of us friends went to Rickenbacker's for a Christmas dinner. Warner was the only kid there and he sure loved playing drums with the spoons.

Playing in the snow

We went outside to shovel the drive way and play in the snow. Warner loved it, and all he wanted to do was eat snow. Such a stinker!

Child Family Christmas Party

Last night we had our Child family Christmas party, it was a lot of fun. My dad's side of the family is so big we always have to do it at the church. The little kids got to sing Christmas songs really loud so that Santa would hear and come and visit. All the kids got to sit on Santa's lap and get a candy cane and a present. Warner loved the car that he got, but he couldn't get enough of the candy canes. He kept stealing everyone else's too. (man this kid loves sugar) It was nice to see all my cousins. We have a blast at this party every year!

Warner loved his car but I'm sure he's on the look for more candy canes to steal.

My sister's Teri, Jamie, me, and Jamie. (We sure missed Brandy and wished her family could have come)

The girls were dressing Dave with pretty bows and some googly eyes.

Christmas Devotional

My mom and dad were lucky this year to win us some tickets to the Christmas Devotional. It was awesome to listen to the beautiful talks and hear the choir sing Christmas songs. This is my mom and dad's last Christmas serving as missionary's down at the conference center. They have been doing it for 7 years now, so I know they will be so sad to be released next year.

Festival of trees

My girlfriends and I went to the Festival of Tree's. There were so many beautiful ones this year. I would love to buy a tree but wow are they expensive! Jamie wants to donate one next year for Scout and Stryker. That will be a lot of fun to do. I totally want to help her put one together. Ü

IT'S A GIRL

So we went to the doctor last week and found out that our baby #2 is a girl!!! We are so excited. We were a little confused when my doctor was referring to the baby as a split tail. Surprising cause Shawn has a pretty dirty mind, and I my doctor does too. Any who we are so ecstatic that it's a girl. I can't wait to see her! I wanted to put the pic of the ultra sound on here but it wasn't the best picture of her. So I will next time. Now we need to start thinking of names! Ü

Warner in the snow

I took Warner outside to play in the snow the other day. For some reason he wasn't diggin it. He would cry if I put his hat on and if he fell in the snow. He didn't like his gloves to have snow on them. I'm sure he will like it the next time we have snow, hopefully there will be a lot more then there was here.

Grandpa Davis: 11/17/19 - 11/17/09

The day that the Kirkham twins were born was Shawn's grandpa's 90th birthday. But it just so happened that he died that same night. He had been in a rest home for a few months and going down hill so we knew this day was coming we just didn't think he would die on his birthday. He served in the army so he got a full military burial, it was pretty neat to see. They did the three gun salutes and played Taps. It was so special but made me cry even harder. Laurence was such a great man and grandpa. He is going to be missed very much.

Grandpa was a great farmer and took pride in working his land with his only son Larry. This was his tractor that one of his step grand kids rebuilt. He had it outside the church for everyone to see. He also drove it behind the hearse all the way to the graveside. It was really neat.

Ryker and Reed Kirkham 11/21/09

Kari and Randy had their twins on November 21st. She was only 35 weeks along so they were a little early. Ryker Scout Kirkham was born 1st and weighed 3lbs 14oz. Reed Stryker Kirkham was born 2nd at 4lbs 2oz. Ryker did ok but he couldn't keep his temp up due to him being so small so they had to keep him in the nursery in an incubator for a while. Reed wasn't doing as well, he had some air by his heart so he's in NICU so they can watch him more closely. I can't stand to see them hooked up to so many things. It makes me cry! I can't even imagine how hard this is on Kari and Randy. We only got to see them at certain times so I didn't get very many pics at the hospital.

Reed

They got to take Ryker home last night because he gained some weight and was able to keep his temp up. Hopefully they will get to bring Reed home soon. He now has an infection in his lower intestines that they are concerned about but I know that he will be healthy soon and get to be with his twin brother and family at home.

Ryker looked so tiny in his crib.

Shawn David Jackson

So this Halloween was the 10 year anniversary for our friend Shawn Jackson's death. I can't believe that it has already been 10 years that he has been gone. We sure do miss him. Jamie and I were able to sneak away for a bit to go up and visit his grave and bring him a little pumpkin on Halloween. My husband Shawn and Shawn Jackson were best friends since they were about 2 years old. They lived a few houses down from each other and they were inseparable all through Elm, Jr. High & High School. Jamie and Shawn Jackson dated during our Jr year in High School too. So we all had been close for a very long time. We just want Shawn to know how much we love and miss him!
