back to the quiet life... with boys only.


My sister and her FOUR GIRLS just left. We had quite the New Years celebration. I always love when Deb comes to visit. Not only is she funny, sweet and easy to be around-- but she's the best hairdresser. She cuts and colors my hair and waxes my eyebrows and won't let me pay her a dime. She's the older sister I've always wanted (inside joke.) We had so much fun with all the girls! We made sure to hit our favorite hot spots-- Blue Diamond, the duck pond and Sonic. Brent had a chance to spend three days climbing at Red Rock and Debbie is an awesome single mom! Her girls are busy and dramatic and we love being around them.




Of course, our favorite thing to do with the Jefferys is hang around the house. We played lots of games, opened presents with oven mitts, told stories, wrested, played legos, giggled and giggled, watched Shark Boy and Lava Girl too many times and had an awesome dance contest which Luke won. There is never a dull moment with these girlies around! Twenty minutes after they left, Luke said, "Listen.. It's so quiet around here!"

Not often that 'quiet life' and 'boys' are in the same sentence. Girls ARE drama, but oh-so-worth-it! Your hair is BEAUTIFUL- I really like the red, it's very you! And that New Years Eve party at the Leather's was quite memorable! New Year's goal... back to exercising. Wish you were here so I had incentive to get up for an early walk!

I love Debbie! I love that she has four adorable girls. I love that she pampers you and I love that your hair looks so awesome. Really, girl, you look so good. I love that you got to spend that time with her and she got to see Simon. There's something about Debbie that makes you feel like you're her best friend. I guess that runs in the Clawson Clan...

Happy New Year!

What fun....everyone looks great, and I love those blue hoodies, especially the striped one :)! And Simon's "champion" stretch is the best! Miss y'all....

thanks janey for the nice compliments! You too Danalin! We had a super time with you. Thanks for being a great hostess and allowing Brent to bring a foreigner in your home. I won't forget all the germs we brought home. But I will never regret nursing Simon!!!! I miss you all! And you are the little sister I always wanted and still are. I am amazed at your many qualities! I wanted to tell you that Brent is going to Hawaii on the 20th-25th. Mom said you could stay here for a few days but it is up to you.
