Christmas and More

My Mom's an amazing cycler and she took Bryce on a 12.5 mile ride. He didn't look so good afterwards! His bum still hurts!
Frisbee Golfing...Bryce and I were less than graceful!
New years resolution dinner

My dad...only minutes after midnight on new years hit his head on the corner of a cabinet...OWCH! I felt so bad for him but I couldn't help but laugh....This is gonna be one heck of a year. He's off to a bad start!! :) Sorry dad...love you!
Happy New Year!

Well...not much has happened, as you can see by the date of the last blog we posted! :) We had a wonderful Christmas. We got a ride from a friend to the Austin airport, flew to Portland and had so much fun there. Everyone except Glen and Sasha were there. We opened presents (All of which were WONDERFUL), we went to Red Robin (since we don't have one in College station) played Beatles Rockband (thanks Ron and Kathryn) and played lots of games. Eli (Melia and Devin's baby boy) was blessed on Sunday and it was so nice to be there for that. He's such a cutie! The dang bishop pronounced Eli...Elly which was annoying, but other than that it was a beautiful blessing!
After 3 days in Portland I took a greyhound to Redding (a miserable 10 hours) and I was able to spend 3 days with my family. It was so much fun. My mom, Kyra, Sandra and I went snowboarding/skiing at Mt.Shasta and had a blast. It was fun spending some time with the girls! I also got to see Romy, Megan, Stephanie, and Samantha Oliver which was so great. They are like family/best friends to me and I hadn't seen them in WAY too long! Bryce arrived in Redding on the Greyhound on Thursday and we had our Christmas at my house. We went frisbee golfing with my Brother and sister-in-law, went mini golfing (twice), enjoyed the updated fun center, and hung out with the fam. It was a blast. Every new years eve/day we go out to dinner and make new years resolutions and I really enjoy that time...reflecting on the goals I made the year before and making new ones. It motivates me to do better and it's fun to see what Bryce's goals are...he set his goals really high and it made me so happy to see what he wanted to do better at.
We missed our cats so much though...well I did...Bryce did too but on a much different level than I did. They won't leave us alone now. They were attention starved so now every night they meow and claw at our door when we kick them out...it's sad and i don't get much sleep, but hopefully they'll get over it soon! :) Oh PS. BRYCE GOT STRAIGHT A'S THIS LAST SEMESTER! and our friends, Jessica and Spencer got married. :) k...I think i'm done now.....hope I didn't bore ya!
