IT IS DONE!

No more 10's!

Kimbel is officially done with her 1000 project - it is off to school tomorrow!

No more scanning wal-mart for tiny tens... no more begging tens  of family and friends... no more tens floating in the bottom of my bag....  no more dreams of tens... it got a little scary.

au revoir!

So long Shir and Dave and little Maya!! Thanks for hanging out with us (and a little salsa) before your Swiss adventure!  Let us know how it is and I CAN HARDLY WAIT to see you in a couple of weeks!!

FUN TIMES!

Some Duffin Cousins!

    WE LOVE DUFFINS!   I know, I know we ARE duffins -- and love it!  Our cousins Jessica, Jayson, Kendall, Kaitlyn, Londan and Lydia, and Eric &  Heidi came from Smithfield on December 26 and stayed until the 27th.  It was a party!  Grandma and Raelene were here, too and Sharalyn and Matthew also joined us.  There was lots of food and laughter and fun (even some rousing Wackee Six!)  We miss you already!
  

Merry Christmas!

Rockin' Christmas Eve

How lucky are we to have Grandma Duffin for Christmas?!?

I love Christmas!

Did I mention Christmas rocked?

I LOVE this video put to Amy Grant's "Breath of Heaven" ~ Enjoy.

Utah Drivers?!?!

Okay - first car crash OF MY LIFE!!  Crazy snowstorm barrels through Utah - we get caught in it - being super careful.  Come to a stop and WHAM!!  a crazy  car plows into us from behind. Smashed up my car - but we are all good.  A little shaken - but good.  Braden thinks he's gonna have nightmares, Raelene was calm and cool under pressure and Kelly's mom was super supportive through the THREE HOUR ordeal.  I am happy to be home and want to say THANK YOU to Jared for braving the weather and rescuing us out on I-80.  We even made the news... here is a little link for you to enjoy.  The policeman (Chris Simmons) was WAY COOL and the smashed up car is the one that hit us and I swear my car looks WORSE than it does from the ksl shot... oh well, my head FEELS worse than the Yukon LOOKS!!
