Christmas

We have a tradition of giving the boys pajamas that they open on Christmas Eve and wear that night for Christmas morning.  Here they are in their matching pjs.

Christmas morning

And here’s the album with more photos…

More deals from Amazon

Looks like Amazon is doing more “lightning” deals this week.  (Lightning deals for those not versed in Amazon.com lingo are basically deals that are limited to a few hours.)  Check out their Holiday Lightning Deals page.  If you have an XBox or PS3, there’s a today only deal o n Batman: Arkham Asylum. 

Also I got an email indicating that tomorrow is going to have a lot of PS3 deals if you have one of those (or maybe if you’re looking to get one… don’t know if they’ll have deals on the console itself).

I’m guessing that they’ll be good deals on Amazon through Thursday (which is the last “free super saver shipping before Christmas day”) although maybe beyond that for those willing to pay for 2 day or next day shipping.

As a disclaimer, I do get a small cut (in Amazon credit) of any purchases you make when using my links.

Some Photos…

As many, if not most, of you that read this are aware, we had a little change of venue in late September.  We were finally able to sell our townhouse and purchased a new home in Orem.  I’m going to blame that for my delinquency in posting photos this time :)  Oh, and yes we got a new tv before we moved (which makes sporadic appearances in the photos).

Since we’re still working on getting the house more and more presentable, there are no “photos of the house” as such, but there are obviously photos taken in the house.

Here is August, September and October.  November should be coming soon.

Black Friday

If you’re a Black Friday shopper, here’s a couple resources to get you prepared early…

First is BlackFriday.info.  This site has all the “leaked” Black Friday ads posted (scans of the ads and lists) and searchable.  Good resource to start planning now or to see if there is going to be a better deal on something this Friday if you find a good deal earlier.

Also, Amazon, is doing a “Black Friday All Week” sale where they’ll have deals all week that are similar or identical to some of the deals that will be available on Black Friday.  Most of these are limited to a few hours throughout the day so check it out now!

Her Quilt is done…almost

 

For the past year and a half I have been helping an older woman in our last ward make a photo quilt of her family.  It took 2 months for me to make the quilt and over a year for her to pick pictures.  I thought I would never be done but here it is.

She wanted it cowboy themed and loved the border.

The only thing is she needs help hanging it, so once it’s up I will really be done.

Wow

I’m still stunned, not quite believing it… I honestly thought that there was little to no chance that BYU would win tonight (also figured the score would be higher).  Glad to be wrong.  Way to go Cougars!  More later on the game…

Some initial thoughts:

hoping the byu win doesn't get overshadowed by the bradford injury...still a little bit in shock#byufootball

So here are albums for the past five months… yes five months.  My mom gently reminded me a few days ago that she didn’t have any recent photos of her grandsons.  When I sat down to do this I didn’t realize that it had been quite that long.  Anyway, here are the albums:

March 2009

April 2009

May 2009

June 2009

July 2009

Normally I’d do some highlights… but there would be too many for one post.  Jennifer and I will post some stories go to along with some of the photos of the coming weeks (months? years?).  Hope you enjoy these!

When the Jenson’s came to visit

Andrew, Michelle, Sophie and Elanor came to Utah a few weeks ago.  It was good to see them for a few minutes. Michelle recently posted about their trip and we got a mention!

(This photo is from the Jenson’s blog.  It was funny because we didn’t set them up like this, they just all sat down together after while to watch TV.)

Failure

Sometimes failure is the path to success…

Our morphing baby

More results soon, but in the 2 month quiz, everybody that submitted (much less participation than last time :( ) got Tyler correct… there was some confusion on who was Edison and who was Alex though.  What’s interesting about this?  Well, the first time around at one month, Alex was the more easily identifiable of the three and Tyler and Edison were confused.

Month two results and answers coming soon as well as month three quiz ;)

Two Month Quiz

In the spirit of last month’s quiz, here are three photos of the three boys from around 2 months old.  To make it a little more interesting, I’m posting several photos of each boy.  Happy matching and good luck!

Baby A	Baby B
Baby C	Baby D
Baby E	Baby F
Baby G	Baby H
Baby I	Baby J
