KyLee and Ana dance recital pictures


Good thing my sister actually downloads pictures on a regular basis- here is Ky and Ana at their dance recital- they did such a great job!! I love watching KyLee excel at things that I totally sucked at when I was younger.... it was so funny ( to me at least)they have a "Womans Clogging class" and Jeramey always teases me about joining it- and there is this one lady who seriously is not coordinated at all- and is trying to keep up with everyone else and she keeps forgetting the steps and then turning the wrong way.. I shouldn't laugh , but that would totally be me!! More power to her for doing something that clearly she enjoys and doesn't mind looking ridiculous at it!! ( that is way too out of my comfort zone to make a fool out of myself- on purpose anyway!)I am so mean... sorry to poke fun! he he he he I giggle just thinking about her!! her cute husband was so proud and even did video and brought flowers!

Merry Christmas!!!

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
- Dr. Seuss
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! This year Christmas has come really quick - funny how many things I thought were important last year, aren't really as important- I think the most important things ARE the things we don't buy from the store...
Not a lot going on with us- I guess the biggest thing is that Jeramey is finally getting his shop in our backyard- so we have a HUGE hole - he is so excited it's funny!! like a kid on Christmas!
This year we will be spending Christmas with family and friends- one of my favorite parts of the holiday- of course the other is the FOOD! Please remember what Christmas means to you and enjoy the holiday- it goes by way too fast!
Anyway!! happy holidays! I will post pics as soon as I can !

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving- we ate dinner at my parents with my siblings- all except Adam and Tahnie ( who were greatly missed! but glad you had an opportunity to see Tahnies Fam) and Heather and Brandon announced that they are pregnant!!! yipeee!!!!! I love being an auntie!! Sweet Heather has been pretty sick, so they were relieved to tell us all so they didn't have to pretend that she wasn't anymore. i am so excited!! Jeramey's sister is also expecting so 2 more babies for me to hold!!
Then we went to Jer's Mom and Dad's for pie and hung out with them the rest of the evening.
Saturday we had our monthly game night with the Lindsay's Pinon's, Burrell's and Robbie- we have so much fun just playing around with them - and I got to love on sweet Lucas!
My grandparents were in town for grandpa's hip surgery so they came with us to see the elves at Gardener Village.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Finch Clan in our Southpaw shirts!!
Ana Ethan and Ky at wheeler farm
the cute 11 day old piglets!!

I love Thanksgiving!! especailly since I LOVE food !! but I also love that we can reflect on the many things that we are grateful for- I am so blessed in my life- for a loving husband, a sweet little girl, for the gospel and for the best extended family and friends ever !!! Even though the economy is not doing that great, Jeramey is STILL working ALL of the TIME- we have a beautiful home, food and cars that run( because of a husband that knows how to fix them!)and many, many other blessings - I could go on forever but I won't bore you...
I found this cool quote and it about sums everything up !!
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Thanks to all of our family and friends ! I truely am blessed to have you in my life and I know that you make my life better just by knowing you !!
here are some more pictures of our trip to Disneyland ... and various other adventures~~

Ky playing card with Jan waiting for us at the Knowles race

she was so tired she fell asleep watching a movie

the Razr Jen and I raced in the freezing snow!!!

Jer raced Davey's yamaha and Davey and Kimmie raced quads INSANE - we were supposed to do 3 - 28 mile loops- Me and Jen and Kim and Kev did one- Davey did 2 and Jeramey did all 3 - it really sucked-- I am not even joking!! I am sure it would have been enjoyable had it been at least 50 degrees

KyLee in my linen closet- "working" on her laptop while her babies sleep

We just got back from Disneyland with Jeramey's whole family- it was SO much fun!! of course I have not downloaded the pics yet. We left on Thursday the 30th - we went to the trick-or-treat party on that night at California Adventure ( thanks to Mom and Dad Finch) Ky got SO much candy - and we didn't even go to all of the candy places... she wanted to ride the rides instead, she wanted to ride Toy Story Mania - and the Monsters Inc ride- She was Snow White this year- it was fun to see everyone dressed up for the party- although some people I wasn't quite sure if it was a costume or not.....
KyLee was finally tall enough to ride the Matterhorn ( you have to be 35 inches ) and she is 37- too short to ride any of the other "big rides" but she really liked it- I can't even count how many times we rode it-
It was so fun to be with family - KyLee was so well behaved!! not one fit or temper tantrum she was an ANGEL! I was so proud of her- we ended up staying at the park all day everyday because she was so fabulous!!
We had such a great time thanks Mom and Dad for everything!!
