Fullmer Christmas Party!

This was a busy weekend for us but we won't be going back for Christmas parties so we had to fit one in. Bart & Tracy had it at their house and it was so fun seeing everyone and letting the kiddos play with each other. Brooklin had so much fun with Ansley and Mason and Andrew just ran around! We had great food, visiting and no silly string fight this year :(

Black Friday -- Here I Come!!!

**I had to steal this pic Evonne - I thought it was hilarious.**

This is the day I've been waiting and saving up for all year long!!! I live for this day :) This is the first year I have been to a store, waiting in line by 3:50 am (Utah time). I couldn't sleep the night before cuz I was planning on how my mom and I were going to tackle Target! Anyhow, we started at Kohl's and got what we wanted and was out of there by 4:50am. On to Target by 5 to wait in line until it opened at 6. The plan was for me to hit the electronics and mom to get the Dyson vacuum on sale and meet in the toys. The doors opened and I hit the electronics and got everything we needed and I headed back to toys. I run into my mom and ask if she got the vacuum and she said "I got the last one" I'm thinking "Where is your cart?" Well she left her cart to grab Leapster games and needless to say, it costed her a vacuum. Someone stole it out of her cart!!! She was a ragin momma, on a hunt to find her vacuum.... we left with EvErYtHiNg on our list EXCEPT the vacuum! We hit the rest of our stores and got home around 4pm. It's a good thing we brought 2 trucks because they were loaded!!! I had so much fun but I can only handle that once a year!

We had a WoNdErFuL Thanksgiving this year. We headed for Utah (Winters family) at 6pm Wednesday so we didn't get in until late. Thursday morning we started early with turkeys and getting everything ready for everyone to come to Grandma & Grandpa's house at 2 for dinner. Almost everyone was able to make it and I think we had a total of 38-39 people -- we had a full house! I LOVE this day.... the food was FaBuLoUs! I enjoyed every bite :) It was a day spent visiting with family and taking turns sitting with Grandpa in his room. It's always nice being with family!
I'm grateful for my family and everything that they do for me. I love each of them so very much!!! I'm so thankful for my kiddos who keep me going everyday and bring a smile to my face :)

This post is from Kirstin....

My sister Kirstin is going to Guatemala in January for a week.... she is helping at an orphanage and below is a little info about what they need. She is going with a girl who went over in August and she is going back to volunteer also. Kirstin will be taking an extra suitcase just for items that are needed at the orphanage. BABY FORMULA and SCHOOL SUPPLIES are what they are asking for. She is hoping to get everything collected by the first week of January. If you have any questions or would like to make a donation please email me and I'll pass it along to Kirstin. My email is winters_10@hotmail.com or you can always leave me a comment! THANKS for reading and helping out if you can :)


Hello Ladies!!
This year I have been very involved with an orphanage in Guatemala and in August I went there to volunteer. In January I will be returning along with Kari Nash in our ward to the orphanage for another 7 days. I am taking an extra suitcase full of things to help feed the babies and meet their needs.
If anyone has a used Baby Monitor that they no longer need, they are in desperate need of one. The orphanage is constructed completely of cement, including the walls so it is very difficult to hear the babies when they wake up.
They are also in need of baby formula. We currently have about 7 babies in the orphanage, and they range from all ages. This is especially important because even the older babies drink formula. None of the children drink real milk because it's not pasteurized in Guatemala. Leading to a high risk of illnes. Even the adults drink powdered milk, or hot milk to help kill the bacteria. If you have any leftover formula sitting in your homes, it would be greatly appreciated because formula is SOO expensive there. Anything of that nature must be imported into the country.
I know these are tough times for everyone. I really don't want someone strain their family budget in any way, but if you already have it in your home and no longer have a need for it, these children would benefit from your donation. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!!!

Brooklin's FiRsT trip to the DeNtiSt

What an adventure this was.... I had mentioned to her last week that she'd be going to the dentist and she just started crying and begging not to go. Well the day had arrived and the anxiety was flowing... from the second I mentioned we were going, she had alligator tears and very against going. But we went and a huge ThAnK yOu to ChRiSsY and MeSqUiTe DeNtaL for enduring the screaming and tears while we were there. I ended up having to sit in the chair and held her hands and head, she calmed down after a bit but Oh My Drama Mama!!! Her teeth looked good and she got a new princess toothbrush and was able to pick a toy from the treasure chest. Great Job Brooklin for being a brave little girl - Keep brushing your teeth!!!
