My Basketball Player!!

Wyatt is the 2nd tallest player on the team. As you can tell by the picture he is not a short boy. He loves playing. Wyatt was given a basketball for his birthday in November and we let him sleep with it for the first couple of days but then we had to sneak it out of his room. That is how much that boy loves to play. Good job Wyatt!!

My Father's 60th Birthday Party at Maddox!

Last night we had a wonderful dinner as adults to celebrate my Fathers birthday. We all had the opportunity to toast my dad (yes there was actually no roasting amazing isn't). All of those attending were: Of course my Mom and Dad, Grandma Belle, my Uncle Don and Aunt Larene, Eli and Stacy, Jeff and Lyndi, Alicia and Hans, of course Myself and Shawn, Lindsay and Daniel, plus my Aunts and Uncles. He also had his best friend from his school days you could basically call them brother, Byron Martinez. I am thankful for my Dad and the way he has raised me.

I Love You Dad!

A New Year!

Yes, I know that it is now a new year and I have not done any blogging. I am trying some new changes in my family. With my church calling, the kids activities, the gym and just family time, I am trying to spend alote more time with the family then so much time doing the others. The kids are doing great. Wyatt is playing basketball on Saturdays, Jr. Jazz, he is one of the tallest on the team. He really enjoys it. Mckaylee has Dance on Wednesdays and she is so excited for her recital in May. Her dance is to one of the songs off Mamma Mia. Shawn of course is the hard worker that he always is ecspecially lately. They are very busy at work and he has been working 12-14 hrs a day. He loves it though. He has been so great and supporting me in my calling if you have ever been in a presidency of any sort you know what I mean. I wondered at time why I was put in as the Primary President but then every Sunday when I see those kids and listen to them sing and their talks I know why I love my calling. I hope all is well with everyone.

How much snow can we really get???

Ok!!! These two picture's were taken this morning.. Shawn started about 7:30a.m. with using the snowblower and came in around 12:45p.m.. He makes me proud. He had gone down the street and helped out a few widow's in our subdivision and another couple that her husband works double shifts. Now let me show you the pictures from last night when we opened the door at 9:30p.m. The winds had started to blow really hard and we were starting to worry. I am thankful that we had made the choice to stay home on Christmas then drive down to see our families.. (Sorry Guy's)



You can tell by the pictures of how much snow we received in just a few short hours....Plus we had it all cleared, then if you look up at the other pictures it shows you how much we received today also. Of course Lady has to be out with Shawn playing in the Snow..

WINTER WONDERLAND

IT'S SURE IS WINTER IN LOGAN!! This week we went down to my folks house. We were expecting to spend time playing on the four wheeler with the sleds. But as we arrived we realized we were not in Logan. There was not much snow at all!! But please let me show you all of all the snow and fun that you can have with just a little bit of snow!!!

Christmas morning digging our Santa out!! This is just a small fraction of the snow!!



We can't tell who likes to play in the snow the most, the dog or Shawn????

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Wyatt opening his Skateboard. He was so excited to get this. Hopefully, we will have no injuries with this!!! They also received an Xbox which they absolutely enjoy playing together.




















Mckaylee was waiting so patiently for her dad to come down stairs so she could open up her presents!!!

It's Christmas morning and all through the Pickett house, the kids were jump jumping and the dog was pout pouting. Dad was out shoveling all the snow that was dumping. Mom was still sleeping hoping her head would stop thump thumping. But on this Christmas morning we all came together to remember this beautiful day and the reason we celebrate,

"The Birth of Christ"

We would love to tell you all of our love and appreciation for Christ and for our Family. During this time of year we all are so deeply greatful for all that we have and for everyone that we love.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!

It's Christmas Time

On December 17th, Mckaylee had her Christmas review for Dance. She was so excited they were allowed to wear any costume that they wanted and she insisted on wearing her witch costume from Halloween. She looked SOOOO CUTE!! She is the tallest and oldest girl in her class! We have tried for months to ask them to switch classes and they finally agreed after they saw her performance that night. She was the only one that knew all of her dances and was on perfect beat. We are so proud of her and how hard she has worked to do this. Good Job Mckaylee!!!!
