December was a great month. The Waddell's came to Utah!!! If you can't tell I was so excited, it seems like it has been forever since I last saw my favorite sister. We spent a lot of time with them. We had a great Christmas and New Years. We loved spending so much time with family and friends. David has started school again. He is going to Dixie. We have a new babysitter for Treyven. Work is going great for both Rebecca and David. Christy is doing well in school and Treyven just keeps growing. He now sits up all by himself and he sleeps thru the night :) Enjoy the pictures.

My beautiful sister Amber holding keith and Treyven. Keith is six months older than Treyven but only a couple inches taller, and the boys have the same size of feet.

Christy was totally spoiled for Christmas. Most of what you see here in this picture is from Grandma Cosgrove and Christy's dad (we buy gifts that we think he would have bought her if he were here). She got tons of new clothes, new shoes and boots, new books and a beautiful framed picture of the Savior for her bedroom.

Here is Shadow with her gifts. New clothes, and books and a picture of the Savior for her room.

We had family pictures taken the day after Christmas. All 29 members of the family were together. It has been a long time since that has happened.

The Waddell family.

We sure love them and wish that our two families lived closer together.

Dont' you think they need a little girl to change things up? I do!

Our cute little family.

All 29 of us out of the playground. Thanks to Kellee for putting up with us and getting some really good shots!

We have a "GREAT" ward....umm I am being sarcastic here.

Two Sundays ago we had a speaker that got up and talked about all the rules they had in their home when her children were growing up. It was a two page list of rules. Here are some examples: Phone calls between 8am and 9pm are limited to five minutes, no babysitting, no sleepovers, live the Word of Wisdom plus, mandatory 24 hour fast once a month, no food in Sacrament meeting, no TV, only group dating till 18 then only double dating till married. THe list went on and on. After her talk we sang a rest hymn and then the husband got up to give his talk. As he was starting his talk a lady from the congregation got up and gathered her stuff and then stopped right in front of the Bishop and started yelling at him about how it was on his head that people were offended by the talk and how could he let that talk be given and so on. It was really awkward. Everyone was silent, finally the lady left and following her out the door was the speaker and two other gentlemen. David was out in the foyer with Treyven and heard the lady yelling at the speaker. It was great fun. Then last Sunday in Sacrament meeting Treyven was making a few cooing noises during the passing of the Sacrament, at the very end when the men are going back up to the front to turn in the water trays Treyven starting fussing. As David was gathering up Treyven and his binkie and blanket to take him out the guy in front of us turned around and said "you need to take your baby out". I was mad, it's not like we let Treyven just stay in the chapel and cry. As soon as he starts to fuss we take him out. After the men had taken their seats I went out to the foyer and told David to go back in the chapel and that I would enjoy the rest of the meeting in the foyer. Sunday school is full of the elderly couples and there were no seats os I sat in the foyer during Sunday school. I went into Relief Society but after a few minutes of being in there Treyven fell over and started to cry and a bunch of the elderly women turned around and glared at me so I took him back to the foyer and there we sat for the rest of church. I have really tried to be patient and to like our ward here but it just hasn't happened. I really miss our ward in San Diego. Anyways, we are all healthy and for the most part happy, and just taking things day by day.
