Just for fun!

I thought I would just post about some of the stuff that we have been up to! Well, for starters, Lucy is walking! She just decided that she could do it! She was a little chicken at first but now she has it down! Good job Lucy!

We went to a Train Show at Thanksgiving Point! JT was in 7th heaven! He could have just watched those trains for hours! Oh, wait that is what we did for hours! We did have a great time!
Next, we went to the Ranch in Fairview for the weekend because Jac signed to play softball for Snow College, so we went along for the ride! We had fun, relaxing at the ranch, playing in the snow and eating popcorn with Pa!!
JT is playing basketball! He is doing a Start Smart Clinic. They go and learn the basics of basketball. He is loving it! They are assigned a team (Celtics)and they get a shirt. He is such a hoot to watch. A parent is supposed to help them while they are there so Justin and I switch off. He has already learned a lot! Getting better every time! Good job JT!
Lucy being silly!

Team Cheer to end practice!

Christmas 2010!! New Years 2011!

We had a great Christmas! It all started with our annual Grandma Mills Christmas Eve party! So awesome, we won some great prizes in the raffle! JT was a sheep in the Nativity scene, and Jac was the jackass, oh I mean Donkey, you did a great job Jac. :) Then we opened presents. Thanks Grandma it was great! We then went home and Grammie, Pa, and aunt Jac came and stayed the night with us so they could spend Christmas morning with us. We woke up, not even that early, and JT was so excited. We then opened presents. Lets just say Santa didn't miss our house! Grammie , Pa, and Jac stayed for breakfast and then went to go see the Cluff's. Then Grandma Diana and Poppe came and had dinner with us, and stayed and played a few games! It was a great day!
For New Years we went to our Ranch house in Fairview. We almost spent a whole week there. It was great! It snowed a ton. There was about a foot and a half of old snow that we had to shovel away to get into the ranch, but then it snowed about 2 more feet or more. Justin did his fair share of shoveling! Pa, Max and Brit came down a little later in the week, and so did the Cluff's. We were able to rent a snowmobile, thanks to Grammie and Pa! Had great fun with that! And we also went sledding on the Ultimate hill! There was plenty of good food, like always, lots of games, and movies(we watched Despicable Me almost every day, sometimes twice. Love that movie:))!

Happy Birthday Lucy!!!

Lucy Jean Rigby turned one on December 2 , 2010! One and so much fun!
Wt: 20 lbs 5 oz
Ht: 29 in
Teeth: 2
Lucy has grown so fast. It just seems like the other day that I was going to the hospital. But sure am glad that is over! Lucy is a ball of fun. She loves to laugh, play, and is always on the move. We love this little girl so much!
We celebrated her Birthday on the 3rd, so that family could be there. She had her 1yr WCC at the Dr's and got her shots. She handled them like a champ! Then we had the party at Granny Salmons. She got balloons, coat and snow pants, book, music cake, little people play house, cute blanket doll, a cool music bike, and a popper. She had a blast! Thanks everyone for the great gifts and for coming.

Thanksgiving!

Russ, Will, and JT!
We had a great Thanksgiving! We went to the ranch, and we were all there! Jill and Mike came from Kansas to make the whole Mills clan complete! We had so much fun. We played in the snow with the 4-wheelers, went sledding down the ultimate hill!(seriously is the best hill ever. It is a dirt road that doesn't get plowed, and is way long we get going like 20-30mph, so awesome!), games, movies, chatting all night long, good FOOD, and the "Mills Untalented Talent Show!" It was a fun filled packed few days!

Grammie, Lucy and Dixon!

JT on the sled!

JT and Justin on the 4 wheeler!

Playing Games! Of course, Mike kept on winning this one!

Max and his Talent! He truly does have a talent at this!

Mike being the MC for the show!

The Cluff clan! Notice Nick isn't in it, but he said he came up with the idea so it counts! :)

Britney! She did a great job too! Notice Max and her didn't do one together! :) Britney said she kept on giving Max ideas, and he shot them all down so she said then he need to do his own talent, so they each did their own! Way to go Brit!!!So great!

The Gamble gang! Love this song!! And Mike's hair! ;)

The Rigby rascals! JT was so excited to be in charge of the frog! He did a great job!

And the best for last! Pa, Grammie, and Jac! The song playing is called "Superman's Daughter"! So appropriate! And all Pa had to do was hold the paper! We were all surprised that he even did that!

Well, that was our Untalented Talent Show! We had a great time and can't wait for the next time!!! Love you guys! And miss you Gambles!

Halloween!!!

We had a great Halloween! We carved a pumpkin, went to Cornbelley's, and did some trick or treating! We decided to go as Peter Pan people as a family! Justin was Peter Pan, I was Wendy, JT was Captn. Hook, and Lucy was Tinker Bell! We went with Grammie and Jac to their ward Trunk or Treat, and then JT went with his cousins, the Cluffs, trick or treating. He got some good stuff and had a lot of fun! It was a great Halloween!

Our Speed racer!

We had a great Saturday! It was Homecoming all week for BYU, and they have a Cougar Run on Saturday morning! So we signed JT up to run the 200m! He was so excited. We have been practicing all week. We would go to the indoor track and let him run with us. He does so good! And seems to enjoy it. So we asked him if he wanted to race other kids and he said Yes with a big smile! We got up early Saturday and went to the track to get ready. He got a t-shirt, and a #. He was so excited to have a number. He wore his super fast shoes, jogging pants, gloves, and cool headband! We warmed up with a little jog and he was set ready to go! He did so good! He ran the whole thing by himself with dad coaching him along the way! He took 6th place out of 17 boys! He was so proud, and even prouder of the ribbon he got!
Then we went and got blue pancakes, and watched the parade! Then we came home for a quick rest and then off to the the football game. Jac and her friend Nate came with us. JT and Lucy made it through he whole game. They were awesome! We had so much fun! And even funner because BYU won! It was a great day!

JT and Lucy just before the race!

Just warmed up!

Birthdays!!!

JT is the big 3!!! His getting to big to fast! I love this kid. He is so funny and has the funnest personality. He is my best buddy! I love to spend time with him. We get to play all day. He had a great birthday. It all started on Saturday when we went to Build-A-Bear, with Grammie and Pa. They get all the grandkids a bear on their 3rd Birthday. We rode the Frontrunner train into the Gateway. JT loves to ride any train. He then picked out a camo bear in a Woody outfit! So awesome! Then On Sunday we had everyone for cake and icecream! JT wanted a train cake, and wanted it to be Thomas, so that is what I attempted to do. It turned out ok! He got lots of fun things! Thanks everyone. And then on Monday 20th, his real birthday, we went just as a family to Nickel City arcades. We had a great time and to top things off! JT hit the jackpot on one of the games and won 1,000 tickets! Awesome! He got to pick whatever he wanted at the prize station! Well, I think he had a great few days! Happy Birthday JT!
