This was, by far, the coldest day I've ever experienced in Hurricane and for some crazy reason we decided to go to the park so Nave could ride the 3-wheeler. BURRRR!!!!!
Jayce- all bundled up... cute purple gloves from Mel :)
Me, Mel and that other sister in the background. JK!! Love you Steph!
Stephy and Me out of the FREEZING wind!

Um.... sometimes we don't claim Kenny, however, this picture ROCKS!
Go Navey, GO!! (Riding Uncle Kenny's 3-wheeler like a champ!)
Kenna and Mel... still bundled up
Yeah Girl! Rockin' hair.... maybe you should lay off the hairspray Mel... or the wind.

Good dog, Jerry! We all love you :)
Getting ready to go... all the kids excited!
Me and Mel :) Can you tell how cold it is?
Stephy and Me.... still cold! Our noses are red hee hee!

Attention Bloggers!
I changed my background so I lost some info. I don't have some of your blog addresses anymore or your blogs are closed to the public. Please comment so I can get your blog on my list again or I would love an invite to your closed blogs if you don't mind! Thanks everyone!
Christmas Gifts
I got some super awesome stuff for Christmas this year!
Mom burned me about a million DVDs of off our DVR. It's legal, don't worry! The ones that aren't legal to burn won't. 
My friends, Heather and Jazmyn, gave me this cute shirt! Love it!
Stephie gave me this cute jacket and the earrings that go with it.
I got some cute shirts and pants from Maurices!! The best part was shopping for them with Mom.
This is my very cute stocking that I've had since... before I remember.
My new DIGITAL CAMERA!! Hoorah!! So, yes, my blog will be better than it has been since my camera broke.
Mom gave me a little card that reminded us all what the true message of Christmas is. It is nice to be reminded. She called it "The Greatest Gift"
New jewelry is ALWAYS FUN!
This little scrapbook is just what I need, because it's premade... I don't even have to try to be creative. I just put my pictures in... nice eh?!
A shot of all of it...
This hat is soooo warm and so are these mittens, which are nifty and you can pull down the top and use your fingers. I used BOTH to shovel snow on the 26th.
Wall-E!!! 
Mom told me I could order one of those saying things that you hang on a wall... like, There's No Place Like Home. I got one to put in my dorm. She made it for me with her Cricket. I'll blog it after I put it up.
Adam gave me this neat picture keychain... it's digital so we loaded pictures on it and now I can look at them all the time (like when I'm bored in class... like today).
Christmas Eve White Elephant Gift... yeah!!! Thanks Jan! HEE HEE!!
and a very cute pair of pants and scarf... again, Thanks Jan!
Christmas with the Swains
This Christmas Mom, Dad and I went to the Swain's house for the morning. It was so much fun! I loved watching the kids open their presents and being with them on the most special day of the year. They were all so cute and fun to be with and Cam and Mike made us feel really welcome! We got there at 6:30am and the party began....
Brett got a cool hat! Plus, some sweet SUU stuff from Auntie Sue!!
Zaden's awesome First SUU T-shirt!
Tyler also has pride in the coolest University ever!
Raefy got the most awesome Batman wings I think I have ever seen! When he pulls a sting they pop open- Whoosh!... and suddenly he's not Bruce Wayne- he's BATMAN!!
Camille got a pink, soft, fluffy robe... she deserves something so girly in a house full of boys! 
My pics are out of order, but breakfast was DELICIOUS!! Pancakes with yummy fruit topping and eggnog to wash it down... well, mostly the eggnog was just really good... the milk washed it down.
Raefy got a Leapster and Cam was watching him play it. When he opened the box he said, "Oh Yes! A lillypad!" We all got a kick out of that one!
Cam and Ty playing the Swain's new Wii... so fun!!
Brett got a computer game called Spore... it was really cool and interesting. Brett played it all day and Ty played it too... it was a hit!
Ty and Raef boxing on the Wii
Grandma Lou loves her Grandkids!
An intense Wii Boxing game between G-Lou and Raef (whose name spells FEAR backwards, he informed me).
A couple sweet shots of Cam and Dad playing the Wii. It was so funny to watch other people play, but I can't make too much fun because I coudld feel how stupid I looked when I played. I've never felt so uncoordinated in my life!!
Give your opinion on my background!
What do you think of my new background? Do you like it or should I go for more grown-up? Hee hee!!! Really, though... I need some honest opinions!
