New Years

Yes, I know I am incredibly slow these days in blogging. Being the RS President, training for the Salt Lake Marathon, and chasing a toddler around all day keeps me extremely busy. I'm trying to stay on top of it though because this blog serves as my journal.

New Years was so much fun! We spent the evening with my family and had a huge party! Here are Jake and Emma playing around. I really don't know how these kids kept going as long as they did!

Here is Danny taking a little power nap. He woke up and was all energy for the rest of the night. He was still running around when we stumbled out.

Here he is awake and holding still for about 2 seconds. And my beautiful sister April.

Sophie spent most of the evening with her grandma.

Here are my Uncle Shaye and Aunt Emily. Believe it or not, this is one of Shaye's more normal picture poses.

My brother Maxwell and his wife Paulette.

All the kids piled on the pillows at the end of the hall. At least it kept the noise centralized for a while.

Madison sporting her new hat from my grandma.

And Gracie

Jake had to go to the eye doctor, and they had to dilate his eyes. They gave him these glasses to wear, and he loved them. He wore them a good deal of the evening.

Some of the gang playing a very intense game of speed Scrabble.

And another exciting game of Sequence.

Jake had a low point toward the end, but like Danny, he too caught a second wind.

Jennifer and Jake

Here we are at midnight. We made it all the way this year; although, we don't look very chipper.

April and Kody looking very similar to us.

DeeAnn was still ready to party after the big ball drop.

Sophie woke up just in time for the noise makers and cheering.

New Years Day was also spent with my family. Here is Sophie ready to embark on our shooting adventures.

Justin and his new shotgun.

They call me "Ashley Oakley."

The shooting tournament begins...

My dad pretty much dominated everyone, but then again, he always does.
