Here's what Santa brought me a couple days before Christmas! Some chairs to go with our table! Aren't they pretty?!

Grumpy and G.G. had their annual Christmas Eve party with family and friends and lots of food!
We played the Davey game (passing gifts every time we hear the word Davey).
Santa even joined the party! What mom doesn't get the crying baby on Santa picture?!

Then we went home and the kids went to bed waiting for morning to see what Santa brought. No peeking, especially when the doorway and window are wrapped up!

Finally!!! Santa brought everyone a bike and tons of gifts! He was way to good to us this year!

Jack Daley Primary School Christmas Program

The twins and I went to watch Jarom and Dhanni in their performance. It was a wonderful program, as usual. During the 1st grader turn, Jarom came out w/ 6 other reindeer, and they each did a dance. Jarom came out last during some kind of hip thing. Super cute! I could hear the whole auditorium laughing, but it truly was cute! Jarom is the one on the end.

I would love to have stayed for the whole thing, but the twins were done! So we had to leave. Maybe next year we will be able to watch the whole thing............

Just Me and the Girls

Us girls get to go to the beauty school and get our hair done every once in awhile. Its our favorite treat!

Sorry its taken so long to do a new post. I'll try better.............

I Guess I Really Am A Good Mom!!

The whole family went to Thatcher's homecoming football game last night. I haven't been to a football game in about 6 or 7 years. We lasted all the way until the 4th quarter when my mom tells me one of the twins was poopy. I think it was Travis, they are little poop machines. So, anyways, I had to take him down to my truck to change him, Richard and the other one (Trevor,I think) walked down w/ me, and while we were gone, Richard received a phone call from the cops saying they had Dhanni. So he went over to the ambulance where the cops had her. Then my mom hears and announcement over the intercom about a lost girl named Dhanni Bigler.

She knew she was lost and knew that she needed to find the cops to help her, she knew Richard cell phone number so gave it to the officers, and they called him to let him know.

It's gonna be awhile before we do that again. Maybe when the twins are older................

The kids were so excited they hardly slept last night. Rhonni got Mrs. Allred (Maurine). Jarom got Ms. Moore (Terri), and Dhanni got Mrs. Vining (Ruth). I feel like this is gonna be a good year.

While Wendy and her kids, and Cami & Aaron and kids were here, we all went to Gila box. Wendy and I showed up wearing the same shirts. Oops! Just like old times.

Girl Cousins

While everyone was here, we got a girl cousin pic (minus Laela). It turned out real cute!

When Crista came over for a visit, we went to see Becky's house. We were catching up w/ each other down in the theatre room and all the kids were playing in the toy room (or so I thought!) I started searching everywhere for the twins and calling their names, I was panicking!! By then we were all outside looking. Crista looks over just outside the front door, and this is how we found them, sound asleep!!! They sure are busy little critters. But dangit! I love 'em!

Jarom's 7!!

Wow, how time flies. I can't believe he's 7!!

This is the Birthday Cake we didn't get to eat because one of twins knocked it off the table before we had a chance to cut into it. O'well, such is life I guess. Such is life when you have twins at least.

For his Birthday Party, Jarom invited some friends and we went to the park to play. Good thing we had a backup cake.

HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR SPOUSE?
I was actually working at El Charro, and he came in with the Alder family from Pima. It was before Marlo and JJ were married. Marlo was there w/ JJ, and I asked her who the "Hot Guy" was. She gave him my number and he kept trying to call me, but at that time, I lived across the river w/ just me and Rhonni. I wouldn't answer the phone if it was unavailable, and Richard just had his cell phone to call with. Well, it was an unavailable call and I never answered. So, Richard found out where I worked. He showed up on my first day at Southwestern Eye Center dressed in his prison guard uniform, and I had no idea who he was. My boss was standing next to me and he asked if he could talk to me outside. I was scared to death! I went outside and he asked me on a date. Guess I was OK from there on out.

WHERE DID YOU GO ON YOUR FIRST DATE?
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TOGETHER?
He made me dinner, we had steak. Funny thing is............I didn't like steak at the time. I just never had it growing up. I love it now.


WHO EATS MORE?
Well, after a few bites, I'm done. So that's not a fair question. Before I had this surgery though, I sure could eat, but not as much as him.

He did. On like the 2nd date.


WHO IS TALLER?
Richard is 6'5 and I'm 5'7.

WHO DOES THE LAUNDRY?
I do. Does he even know how??


WHO DOES THE DISHES? Once again, I do.

WHO SLEEPS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED?
I do, even though it's the one closest to the door. I have issues w/ this one.

WHO PAYS THE BILLS?
Richard makes the money, I pay the bills.


WHO MOWS THE LAWN?
Not me, I don't even know how to start the lawn mower. I know, I know, A farmers daughter not knowing how............go figure.

WHO COOKS DINNER?
He cooks better than I do, but I'm the one that usually does. It's nice when he cooks though.

WHO DRIVES WHEN YOU ARE TOGETHER?
He does, I just like to sit back and not care about where we're going.

WHO IS MORE STUBBORN?
Definately me, Richard is such a happy-go-lucky guy. I'm a Howard......................


WHO IS THE FIRST TO ADMIT WHEN THEY'RE WRONG? I'm never wrong and that's that!!

WHO'S PARENTS DO YOU SEE THE MOST?
I see my parents most, he sees his parents most.

WHO KISSED WHO FIRST? I don't remember, probably me.



WHO PROPOSED?
Richard did. He took me to Branding Iron (a steak house) after dinner he had the waitress bring out a plate w/ a ring on it for me.

WHO IS MORE SENSITIVE?
Oh my gosh! He is, he cries at everything.


WHO HAS MORE FRIENDS? I used to until we moved away for 6 years. Now I feel like I have no friends. now it's just mostly family.
