Christmas

Mom has messed up Christmas for the past three years, according to Anne. The first year we got a fake Christmas tree, the second year she didn't put up the snoopy shower curtain, and this year she wouldn't let us put of our own Christmas tree decorations. She had to have a pretty tree this year. "I have let you put up your own decorations for twenty-six years, I just want to have a pretty tree now." Mom said that.

We are all trying to get ready for Christmas. School is out for the Holidays!!!!!!!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taylor Is An Eagle

Taylor received the Eagle award in scouting. It was awarded to him on the 9th of December. Out of the four recipients there, he was the youngest. Taylor requested a live eagle, so one of the moms made a few phone calls and we got one just in time. each of the boys had a chance to go up and help hold the eagle. It was pretty awesome. We also had a professional photographer there. He took some pretty cool pictures of the court of honor. It was a great court of honor but a little long. Anne had to do a little bio on Taylor. We were all a little worried but it turned out to be ok.Here are a few pictures from the court of honor.

Carly (the other sister)

We do have another sister named Carly. Carly lives four hours away so we really don't know what she does but she was kind of upset by the fact that she was not included in the blog. So Carly here is the blurb just about you.
Carly is still continuing her study to become an accountant zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Oh sorry I fell asleep. Just kidding. Carly's life isn't that boring. She is a dating machine. All the guys are after her. Her birthday is coming up soon. She will be 21!!!! She's also a pretty good shot with a shotgun so watch out. Carly enjoys water skiing, wake boarding, taking long walks on the beach, and texting. Carly even though you live 4 hours away we still know you exist. Love ya!!!

Tubing

Taylor Is A True Van Bibber

Taylor waterskied for the first time yesterday. We went to Pineview Dam with our friends the Smiths and had a great time. Taylor skied for over two minutes and got up on his second try!!! When he got out he said, "That wasn't to bad, what was I afraid of?" If you know Brad Smith you would be scared to be in a tube pulled by him. He is insane, and crazy!!!! WE ARE SO PROUD OF TAYLOR FOR FINALLY WATERSKIING AND TUBBING
