Bob's 39th Birthday

Sunday Bob turned 39. He wanted 4 Boston Cream Pies with Tracy stayed up until 11:30 p.m. making for him after we got back from our niece's wedding reception. Does she love him or what? Those that know her best know what a great sacrifice it is for her to stay up that late as she loves her sleep.

Wedding

Mother of the bride, my sister Sandy and Kenzie

Our first niece just got married on Saturday in the Timpanogos Temple. What an exciting day! Mackenzie & Morgan or M&M as they like to be known. Her dress is totally her.

During the time in between the wedding luncheon and the reception, we had a great time hanging out with our great friends the Beckstrands. Thanks for putting up with us!

Bridge Family Christmas party

Well another successful Christmas party. We watched everyone open presents, ate, performed the Nativity, sang a little and then cleaned up. Caleb and Liz decided they were too old to participate in the Nativity. The kids got to open a few dvds and 2 wii dance dance party 2 mats with the game from Great Grandma Bridge & Grandpa & Grandma Sally Bridge. The kids have already been watching and playing up a storm. Tabi couldn't wait to have her best friend Mackenzie come over and play it with her. Lizzie has already gotten pretty good at it too.

Graham Cracker "Bread" Houses

We went out to the "other" Wagner's in Tabiona the day after thanksgiving and thought it would be fun to do some graham cracker houses. Caleb and Mikaela of course were too cool to do the houses but were caught eating the candy. We all had a great time there, except Justin who was sick with a temperature and so my mom offered to have him join her sick house party for the day. Of course Aggie was happy about that because it meant that she could go to grandma's too and not be home by herself for the day.

Aggie's Birthday

Aggie turned 4 on Nov. 22nd. We weren't even sure that she was going to make it to her 4th birthday. A couple of weeks ago she had continues mini seizures for over 3 hours. I thought I was going to loose it. Not only did I have Aggie that started seizures at 6:20 a.m., I had Justin upstarts with violent flu not to be graphic, but it was going on at both ends, needing help too. Bob had to go to a meeting in SLC and was driving the carpool so he couldn't stay. I ended up having Lizzie stay home and help me. I couldn't leave Justin home alone and there was no way he could leave. I had a neighbor help me get her in the van to take to the vet to just have her put down. We figured it was the best thing we could do for her, then she started having them less so we didn't go. She seems to be alright and generally back to herself. Thankfully. She has had seizures before, but they have been about 8-15 min. about every other month before this last one.

She had a great birthday. She loves to open presents whether in a bag or completely wrapped. We can't put any presents out under the tree because she will open them. LOL She's a nut!

Lizzie made her cake!

School music programs

Tabi, Ben & Justin just had their school music programs. Tabi's group sang Jingle Bells and did a Native America song with sticks. Tabi was sooo excited that she was asking every ten minutes if it was time to go for 2 hours before the concert and I heard the whole program for weeks ahead. LOL

Justin did a tongan song, Ben did a spanish song and norwegian sword dance and then both did the African national anthem.

Ben got to "fake" play his trumpet during the song and then lead a conga line.

Justin danced his way across the stage several times.

Tabi is on the top row in black. She was to be dress up like a native but had this outfit picked out for 2 weeks and didn't want to wear anything else.

First Real Snow

Ben
Tabi
Caleb
Liz & Aggie

We had a dusting in October, but we had our first good snow fall last Friday night and Saturday. My kids could not be more excited and spent the day Saturday outside.

Ben and pumpkin

I had the 4 younger kids color a pumpkin picture for Papa Murphy's Pizza and Ben won! He got a 3 topping pizza and pop. It made his day!

Caleb's 15th Bday

It's hard to believe how time flies. Grandma & Grandpa Wagner and Grandma & Grandpa Roundy were able to join us in the celebration. Grandma Wagner spoiled him by taking him McDonalds for lunch at school.

Halloween 2009

We had a very fun filled day. We went trick or treating down town Logan, the mall during the day and then the neighborhood. Our friend "aunt Becca" came with us that night (she's the gorilla). We had cheerleader Tabi who also won a prize and the mall contest, scarecrow Justin, skeleton Ben, mummy hippy Liz, and princess Aggie. "Aunt"Becca lent me her fabulous costume of a southern bell. I'll try to get a picture.

Ben's First Band Concert

He was sure excited to share his new and developing talent.

Pumpkin Patch

There is a park in Logan that does a pumpkin patch every year. The theme this year was commercials and there were some great ones. Our favorite was the Jolly Green Giant garden.

Here are some other fun ones I took there.

Happy Birthday Mom & Dad W!

Bob's parents arrived on Oct. 14th for a 3 week stay. We were happy to see them, especially because it's both their birthdays in Oct. We had a joint birthday party for them and fun was had by all.

Sick kids

Well I am on week 3 of having at least 1 kid sick. UGH! First it was Caleb. Not feeling good on a sunday night, monday running a temp, tuesday to the Dr. He said that it was Influenza A. He got a temp of 104.9 that night and was a mess for a couple of days. By Friday he was feeling a lot better but ran a low grade temp for a total of 16 days. By then, I told him to stop taking his temp. cause I didn't want to know and he was going to go to school monday no matter what as he missed 2 weeks. Then I had Tabi with a high temp for 2 days and a really yucky cough. Ran her into the Dr. He said she had influenza A too but it only lasted 5 days for her and only 3 days of school. Then I had Justin home with an unhappy stomach and then Ben home for 3 days with an unhappy stomach and a low grade temp. We had a great Halloween, I'll tell more about that later, then Liz home today flushed and a low grade temp. She is giving herself tons of positive self-talk, "I'm healthy and well." 'cause she doesn't want miss school.

As a side note, this is a picture of Caleb's leg. We found that he also got a spider bite the week he was really sick too.

Fall Festival

Every year Hardware Ranch does a free day, (just my kind of day) for everyone. This place is incredible in the winter as you get to ride out on a sleigh and see tons of elk. The kids had a great time painting pumpkins, shooting guns, dressing up as mountain men, riding out to see the elk, and shooting arrow. We had a great time.
