Christmas with the Lotts!

We were able to go up to Idaho for a few days! I loved it! Last week was a busy crazy week. I had to work until Wednesday, and then we were planning to head to Idaho. I was stressed on Wednesday because I had to work until 6:00 and there were so many things to do before we could leave. When I got home that night, Colter had everything packed, the house vacuumed, all of the laundry washed, folded and put away, and the dishwasher had been started and unloaded! I was shocked! I was able to just pack my clothes and we were out of here:) Thanks Colter! Here are a few pictures from our vacation!

This was Christmas Eve, and my Mother is opening our gifts from my Grandma! This was my gift and card with cash...it was so funny! She wanted to open everything up:)

Getting ready to eat Prime Rib on Christmas Eve!

Christmas morning!

Jadon tricked Colter into thinking this was a gun...hehe

Dad was modeling his new watch!

He can't wait to go snowmobiling..this is a probe.

I love these people!

Dads famous Breakfast on Christmas morning! Yum!

Nice perfume!

This is not what it looks like! hehe...this was his new cologne, and they were joking that he should open it and take a drink because it looks like something else:)

Nice new shirt...and tags!

Opening the gifts from my Mom and Dad...they spoiled us!

Colter spoiled me....again!

Dads new helmet!

We spent hours playing this game. I think I got my moneys worth:)

So cute!

Thanks for the oranges, Adds!

For some reason my family thinks Colter is absolutely hilarious! He was telling them some joke, and as you can see they thought it was pretty funny....

And still laughing...I think she has tears in her eyes!

We played a lot of Pictureca, and this was Uno Attack...it was really fun. Addie was pretty funny, we all laughed with her...

Thanks for the laughs and memories! I am so blessed to have such a great family!

Sadie

My brother is one of the most loving siblings I have. My heart just breaks for him today. His best friend, Sadie the dog got ran over today. He loved Sadie. He was so proud that he had taught her so many tricks, like to roll over and to jump in the back of his pick-up. Sadie was such a good dog. When she was little and got excited, she would pee everywhere! And now when she was excited, her whole bum would move when she wagged her tail, it was so cute. I wish I would have taken a picture in her pink sweater that she wore to stay warm! BJ hand-picked her from the pound. She melted his heart.

BJ...I know you had to fight hard to get Sadie.
I love you!

Another Post Already??

I thought I would add these pics while I had a minute...

Anytime Colter buys anything, he always has to take it apart and re-paint, re-do, re-build, etc! This is a snowmobile if you couldn't tell.

Oh..how I love my Grandma! She turned 88 last month, and she is spunky as ever! She is a riot to be around. She is so active, you would never guess her age! I have so many good memories of her. I love her! My mom and I met up in Pocatello yesterday to help my Grandma get her Christmas decor out. Thanks Mom...I love seeing you. But our shopping was cut short..

These are her Aunt Edith (who she was named after) and her Mother's watches.

The larger one is her Aunt Edith's, and the smaller watch is her Mothers. I didn't know she had these, I thought it was pretty neat.

Aren't they so cute? They like to give each other a hard time, it is funny!

Grandma knew right where she wanted everything!

She was pretty excited to see what was in the boxes, I think it is hard to remember from year to year what you have! She has a LOT of stuff, I mean a LOT of stuff! She receives so many gifts each year, and will not throw them away so she doesn't hurt feelings.

I don't think I have done any updates about the trailer...we ended up buying it back from the insurance company and Colter is rebuilding it. He had to take the frame off and start with all new metal to build one. We kind of look like red-necks! We were thankful a wind storm didn't come through and blow it over to finish it off:) He has it on the frame now so now we need to get some matching siding and fix the broken things...

Colter spent an ENTIRE day putting lights up! They look great! They are also along the fence. He even went to the work of cutting the strand of lights so they fit exactly! Have I ever mentioned that he is a perfectionist??

This was on Thanksgiving Day, after we got home. I dont' know why I am so embarassed to take pictures at his parents house...I need to get over it:)

I even attempted to make rolls...and they WORKED! I have thrown out SO many batches of rolls because they didn't work. My friend Brandi and I went to a roll class, and I guess it paid off!

Colter enjoying Thanksgiving morning!

Lott's Update!

I was able to spend a few days up in Idaho the week before Thanksgiving. Here are a few highlights...

Mother and I decorating the tree...

Jadon and Dad doing the dishes while we are decorating..what good boys!



Notice the date on the blocks...hehe...we thought we were clever!

I love this picture of my mom!

My dad is making fun of our blocks...not nice:)

My mom bought these for us...how fun! Kira even participated...yay!

We had the missionaries over for dinner on Nathan's Birthday. This is us singing Happy Birthday to him...he was quite embarassed:)

I just thought this was a cute picture of Colter....

I had to add this one on here...he will probably make me take it off when he notices. (He doesn't look at our blog very often.) This was Halloween...he was so funny! I am not too big into dressing up, but I wore his work clothes...
