Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve is my most favorite day. I love the anticipaction of Santa Coming. The kids are always so excited they can never fall asleep. I remember exactly the way they feel. Christmas has always been the best for me. I love the time of year and the spirit in the air. I hope all of you will have a wonderful and Happy Holiday! Be safe in all your travels, and remember the real meaning of Christmas!
Love, Julie

Ellie's Christmas Program

Ellie just had her dance program Wed. night. We are so proud of her. She was a little frecked out about performing in front of all those people, but once she was on stage it all came natural. She looked so dang cute. She did great! Way to go ELLIE! When we were leaving we ran in to Santa and Mrs. Claus that just topped the night off, it was perfect.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLIE!

I can not believe my baby is 5 today! It is so sad, it means I am getting old! I don't know what I will do when my kids are all grown up. My kids are my whole life. I know she is spoiled rotten, but hey, she is our baby! no more kids how sad is that. Last night we had a family party for her and her cousin Dakota since his B-Day is the day after Ellie's. Today we had a little Tea Party, which consisted of some of her very best freinds, Grandma Wiley, Aunt lyn, Aunt Cherrie, Avery, Janet, and her little freind Olivia. Oh ya and of course me. We had great fun. I want to thank our families for being such a great part of our life's. She got so much stuff, what the heck will Santa bring her? Ellie is a very special part of our family. I hope she had a great day. Happy birthday we love you Ellie!

Well The day after Thanksgiving Andy and I had plans to go with our good freinds Tom and Robin to Wendover for the Wynnona Judd concert. Andy and Tom decided that it would be fun to come home the back way from Wendover so we could stop on the way home and check their traps. They thought it would be faster HA HA! Andy and Tom trap for bobcats and stuff way out west. Tom drove and we pulled the four wheelers on a trailer. First we got to about Orem and some people passing by us was trying to tell us something was wrong with our trailer, so we pulled over but could not really see anything but the tires were really hot. We deecided to be safe and come back to our house and swap trailers. That all worked out and we were on are way again! Everything was fine we were making good time then all of a sudden the seat to Toms four wheeler came flying off. We are glad it did not land in the middle of the free way. We turned around and Tom and Andy walked down the middle of the free to get the seat. The seat was still in good condition, I could not beleive it. We finally got to Wendover and had a great time. The concert was Christmas music. I loved it, it was so relaxing. We got off to an early start the next morning leaving by 9:00 we planned on being home around 1:00. Well after navigating our way the back way to the trap site on a dirt road and after a blow out on the trailer, we finally got to the traps about 1:00. We checked all their traps NOTHING. We were loading the bikes back up when I looked over OH NO! another flat this time on the truck. Just our luck. We changed that and thought well we are completly out of spare tires hope we don't get any more. There is no cell service out there and litterly nobody. We headed home with no more problems. We got home around 4:00 I think, but better late than never. Even though we had some problems it was great to get away. It was amazing country and the company was great. Thanks Tom and Robin for a great time!

This year for Thanksgiving I hit both sides of our families. THANKSGIVING WITH THE WILEYS
