More fun Pictures!

So I had a few more pictures. My Sister-in-law sent me this one of nearly the whole gang at the beach!
Then of course I had to get the really cute ones that Disney people took! Wyatt and Luke were so excited to meet Mater and Lightning!
I don't think my boys have ever seen "Brother Bear", but Luke ran up and gave him a big hug!

DisneyLand!!!!

St Patrick's day and on our way to Disneyland! I got a new green camera for St. Patties day, and this is my first picture!
Parking at the airport! Look a Plane!!!

So exciting!

First large plane ride for 2 little guys!

Luke and some silly faces!

Fun in the hotel the first night!

My Aunt Pam (center) took 31 of us to Disneyland for one last trip before my baby brother Nick (left of Pam) goes into the Army this summer! This the early birds of the group the first morning on the way to Disneyland!

In line for our first ride at Disneyland, the Jungle Cruse! "Look Dad!"

Buzz Lightyear!!!

Yes even Nick road the Buzz ride!

Tim had some great scores for the 10+ times we road it! Because "Only Buzz is my FAVORITE ride"--Wyatt!

Luke liked it too!

This is a group of us in front of the Matterhorn!

We made some wishes at the well!

One of Luke's favorites the Carousel!

Long day and this was just day one! So cute! Thanks Ben for letting me ride Thunder Mountain!

So much fun!

Another Favorite!

On Friday we got some rental cars and were able to go to the beach in the afternoon for Luke's Birthday party! We had so much fun playing in the water and eating pizza! Before we left we walked out on the pier and saw some sea lions!

This is Ben, Andrea and my nephew in front of the Newport beach pier!

Wyatt got to meet Mater and lightning McQueen!

Saturday we spent half the day at California Adventure, and the adults all got to ride Grizzly Rapids, but Wyatt was pretty upset he didn't get to go, he missed by a 1/4".

Thanks to my wonderful aunt Trish and my cousins Mike, Brad, and Sara, Tim and I got to have a date on Saturday night and we went to the Blue Bayou and got a seat right on the water in the Pirates of the Caribbean Ride! Yummy food!

We had a wonderful trip, and thank you a million times Pam, We Love You!

I am SOOOO... Proud of Tim!!!!

I just wanted to do a little bragging about my wonderful husband today! I got this email forwarded to me, and I thought it should be shared with the world, because I am so proud of Tim and thankful for ALL that he does for me and our family, and he is finally getting a little recognition by others for the hard work he does...

-This was a email addressed to Tim's Manager at the Park City Hospital that he has been working at for about 2 1/2 months, from an anaesthesiologist that he works with frequently.-

"Just a note to give our anesthesia technician, Tim Cole, some richly deserved praise.

This is my 11th year providing anesthesia, and in that time I estimate I have worked with 20 or more anesthesia technicians. Among these Tim is perhaps the very best I have known.

He is conscientious, hardworking, and always cheerful. More importantly, he does an excellent job of managing his time and resources when he has multiple rooms who need him at once. Last week, we had three rooms that required a combined total of 16 nerve blocks. With one ultrasound between us, it could have been a slow moving disaster of delay, but Tim made it run more smoothly than I would have dared hope. This is due in large part to the way that he assists with nerve blocks. He has paid close attention to our various styles, and I find that blocks proceed more smoothly than they do with any other assistant I can remember. I rarely have to ask for anything. This saves us valuable OR minutes every case. I would be willing to bet that Tim saves you much more than his salary every day simply because of his initiative, forethought, and professionalism.

Let me close by saying that I'm very happy with all the staff here. I think that everyone is performing at a high level, and this helps the OR run surprisingly well at this early stage. Even in this impressive group, Tim stands out. I hope we can keep him for a long time."

Way to go Tim, I love you!

DECEMBER!!!!

What a crazy busy, but fun month!!...

The first Saturday of December we made our traditional trip out to cut the tree with my brother Ben and his wife Andrea and their boys. We went to Idaho this year, and I seemed to manage to find a lot of places with no trees and lots of snow. We ended up with and extra 3 hour drive and right back to the same place we have always gotten our tree!

This was the first one we came across and the best one of all the ones we saw, and it even had a flat back to fit right against the wall!
Wyatt helped Tim cut it down, what fine MEN I have to keep me going!! This is Ben with their 20' tree, which meant when we got back to grandma's house and she asked Wyatt if we got a big tree, he said no, because our 10' tree was small next to theirs!!
Thanks for a great time!
We decorated it that Sunday, and the boys were very big helpers this year!

The Sunday before Christmas is the Dahl party at Wendee's parents house. We eat, talk and then all of the smaller kids do the nativity! This year Wyatt and Luke got to be in it, and Grandma Dahl had a little stuffed animal for each of them to hold. So we had Mary and baby Jesus, angels, and a crocodile, a dinosaur, lions, pigs, snakes.... It was great fun!

Luke Christmas morning was most excited about the CANDY!!! It took him a while to open the presents, but he got an airplane, and airport from Santa, along with about 20 little star wars men, and Elmo. He also got more Geo trax stuff and 2 Potato heads, and lots of little cars and a garage, from us and family!

Wyatt liked the little Star Wars Men he got as well, I think there is probably 50 total, Santa sure likes Star Wars!! He also got a Matter that he asked for and a microphone from Santa. From us and family he got Geo trax stuff, a magna doodle, and a v-tech video game system!

Tim got lots of flying books and movies, as well as a big pot like Julia Child's, and The French Chef on DVD... and of course a Cork screw from me. Wyatt and Luke gave him the Game of Life!!

I got a Miche Bag!! So cute, Tim did a great job picking out covers and I love it! I also got a gift card for bath and body, and lots of socks and hair things!

After opening presents we headed to Tremonton, to Tim's mom's house to open more presents and eat!! Matt and Shantel gave both the boys sleds, so we went out and Dave pulled us around behind the John Deer! We then played games late, and ended up spending the night. So on Saturday we went and found some hills at the skate park, and had some fun. Luke would only go with Grandma, and Wyatt wanted to go alone!

It was cold, but fun!

Grandpa even came down on the last run! Way to go Dave!

Luke loved it, and then we went over and played games and ate at Pizza Plus!

So much fun!

Thanks for a great Christmas!!

We went to the Glen Canyon Dam museum, and walked half way across the bridge!

We stoped at a place on the way to Lee's Ferry with all of these really cool big boulders! This is my Handsome (single) cousin Mike posing for a picture!!

That's me!! I really wanted to climb to the top of some of them, but I had on my heals?? So this is as far as I got!!

So pretty out there!
