It has really been a long time since i have blogged. Ill do my best to catch up...
Thanksgiving was fun. We had an early on because James was not going to be home. So i made my usual delicious Turkey feast. Yummy! Then we went to Julies house and had a big dinner with her and some of her family. It was alot of fun.
Christmas came and went. James was not home again for this holiday, but we were lucky to have him home every Christmas since then. So we figured that it was ok. On Christmas morning we woke up and did a few gifts and saw what santa brought the boys and then we packed up and went to Vernal to go and stay with James in his trailer at work. It was nice to get away for a few days.
On January 2nd, James' dad Carmelito Marin passed away. He had been sick for a while. We wished that we would have been able to get out to the Philippines to see him before he passed away. But we were not able to afford it then. We are planning on taking the 4 of us out there as soon as we can afford to do so.
The first week in January some very dear friends of ours had a big scare at their house. They are lucky to be alive with the amount of carbon monoxide in their house. So Questar and Logan city told them they had to move out until the landlord fixed everything. They came to our house and stayed with us for about 3 weeks. It was hectic. But it was fun. They are family to us and they needed the help. So we did our best to make it comfortable for them to be here.
James and Austin had their birthdays. I wont mention James age, but he definitely doesn't look like his age. I am had a hard time with Austin turning 14. I cannot believe that he is that old already. This time next year he will be driving. That is hard to wrap my head around.
The last weekend in January my wonder Aunt and Uncle planned and executed an amazing birthday party for My sweet Great Aunt Renee. She had never had a party before, so this was her first one in her 79 yrs of life. It was a great party! I was amazed at the planning and preparing that my family had to do to pull it off. I was honored to be asked to help. I spent so much time helping, that i wasn't able to get any pictures. But my family got many for us to enjoy.
