The first half of December

We got the house decorated right after thanksgiving.  I just love having Christmas up as long as possible.  My favorite is watching Christmas movies with just the lights from the tree and other decor.

 Jaice worked hard on Tim's Christmas present.  She made him letter's to read while he's deployed along with a photo album with her memories about each picture.  It took her many many hours to get it done.  She finished Christmas eve.

the girls got masks from their friends and couldn't wait to try them out!

I forgot to get a picture but Jantzyn went to her first soccer ID camp at Dixie State.  She did really well and the coach really seemed to like her.  They usually don't look at them this early but she decided to go just to see what it was like and hopefully they will remember her for next year.

 We welcomed cute Calli home from her mission!!!

Jaice got to start working on the floor and made her own hair insta account.   So far she has colored and cut my hair, gave Jadyn a deep condition, cut Jorrins and Jakes hair, and done lot's of peoples nails in the family.  She has also had lots of new clients that she has loved getting to know.

 We had a fun Simister ortho work party in Vegas.  We started off at Top Golf.  I had never done it before and it was so fun.  I even didn't finish last in my group.

 Some of the cute ladies from my office!

 Then we headed to Cheesecake factory for lunch.  It was yummy!!

 Followed by getting new nikes and getting to pick something from Lululemon.

 After our mall adventure we went axe throwing.  I didn't think I was going to like it but...I loved it and I even got 2 bulls eyes (the only one to get two from my work).  I was pretty proud of myself!!

  Jorrin came down for the weekend for Calli's homecoming and we had a fun night hanging out witht he family at Gma Losee's.  She also brought (at that time) her friend Bridger.  We all hoped it would become more and Im happy to report as of now it has.  He treats her so so well and is such a good guy!!

 Tim's aunt sent our family a christmas package!!  I thought it was so nice of her to think of us.  He said she wanted to know we are family!

Jantzyn 3 v 3 tournaments

Jantzyn's Heat Organization hosted their first 3 v 3 christmas tournament in town.  So whoever could on Jantzyn's team signed up.  They were able to make two teams.  Jantzyn's team was the Jingle Ballers.  They looked so cute!  They had to play the other half of her team they were Winner Wonderland.  It was such a fun game to watch.  They played hard but both joked around with each other.  They were yelling "we cant hear you" cheer back and forth.  The winner wonderlands won.  Then they ended up both getting in the final so they had to play each other again.  Again the winner wonderlands won but Jantzyn's team was good sports...sortof..haha!

  The final was freezing but fun!

 

November

Jaice and Tim did a lot of face timing (it's a good thing she's on the unlimited plan).

 Jadyn got free tickets to the Jubilee of Trees so we went with her and Jantz.

 Jadyn and Jake finally found the cutest little house to rent (thanks to my good friend Cara) and we moved them the week before thanksgiving.

 Jorrin came home for thanksgiving!

 Along with Austin's family and Whitney.

 Jaice did her nails and Jor did our eyebrows

 and she did Jaices makeup for her Senior pictures (that we had taken in between all of our soccer games).

Tim was with us for thanksgiving as much as possible.  This picture he is watching the barbie cartoon on netflix while Jaice was getting her makeup done.

 Jaice and Tim napping together while facetiming

The girls both played in the Dixie Invitational so our weekend consisted of 8 games and 2 champion ship games.  Which were at the same time on fields right next to each other.  I wish I would of remembered to get a picture of how silly our family looked with our seats in the wrong direction just so we could try to watch both games.  It was freezing cold and everyone was bundled in as many blankets as we could find.  Both teams ended up coming in 2nd.  Jaice's team ended up losing in the last 16 seconds but they handled it well.
