JUST A LITTLE NOTE

So I just had to write you all a little note to tell you I am going to try and do better about posting new stuff on my blog! Well it is not all my fault my computer has not been working that well So I can't take all blame But I will take some!Let me just give you a little up date! Life around here has not been that different just doing the same old stuff School School and more school I am so proud of all my kids and how hard they work when it comes to school!As for Me just being a mom and I love it I don't know anything else I would rather do! I have such good kids and I love them! As for Max he is still working as hard as ever and we are all still trying to get use to his work hours! He loves his job and I am so glad about that. I love him and am so grateful I have such a hard working Man!

CHRISTMAS!!

Christmas was fun this year! It started off with a Christmas Eve party at our house. Santa came on the fire truck and all of the kids were so excited! Mason sat on his lap but as you can tell he did everything he could not to look at him! It was so cute this year because Santa made all of the kids take an oath that they will try and be good next year. Savanah came down for the fun! It was fun to have all of the kids together. Of course we had to sing MUST BE SANTA!!! I think that this was Mason's favorite thing. He would stand there proud as can be and hold up the sign when it was his turn. After singing it FOUR TIMES, everyone went home and went to bed!

Christmas day we got up about seven and the kids opened their presents! All Mason wanted this year was a Wii for his family! The kids opened everything and were so excited except Mason. He was so sad because he thought he didn't get a Wii! We noticed that their were presents behind the tree, Santa must have hid them. Mason opened the first one and said " Look it's our Wii!!" He was so excited. Mckenzie got a new cell phone, Sydnee got the American girl doll she wanted and Spencer was in heaven with all of the BYU football stuff. All Savanah wanted was clothes and that is what she got! This is one of the best Christmas's we have had! I am so grateful for my family and I love spending time with them!

ITS BEEN A WHILE!!

Wow it has been a while since my last post. Life has been good and crazy. Halloween was so much fun! Kenzie, Spencer and Mason were all Boxers and Sydnee was a Dead Bride! The school does a parade every year and each class walks around the school to show their costumes. They all looked so cute. We all had fun at the Shop Trick or Treat and the ward Trunk or Treat! I think they have enough candy to last a year!
Thanksgiving was at our house this year. We had a lot of fun with my family. The food was awesome and Alison made the best rolls ever! After we ate we went bowling! All of the kids were so excited! Spencer was is so good at it. I swear he didn't used the bumpers once! My kids loved every minute of it and Max was the winner by far. After bowling it was back to my house for some Pie! Thanksgiving was a lot of fun this year! I am so glad that I got to spend it with my family!

Christmas is just around the corner and we are busy shopping and celebrating! I will try no to take as long to post my next one!

I LOVE A MAN IN UNIFORM!!

Yes, that's right, I am in love with this man in uniform! After a long day at Cornbelley's I wanted a picture of Max in his uniform to put on the BLOG, only thing is Max was camera shy for some strange reason so he made me get in it with him. Max started his job at the county jail and he is loving it! He will graduate from the Academy this Thursday! I am so proud of Max and I know that this is something that he has always wanted to do. It has just taken him along time to talk me into letting him do it! This is also the first winter that he won't be working outside and he couldn't be happier about that! The boys think that it he is the coolest Dad ever cause he is a cop! We are all so proud of him for all that he has done for us!

GOOD LUCK DAD!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

CORNBELLY'S

For fall break I decided that I wanted to do something fun with my kids. We went up to Cornbelly's and had a BLAST! They had lots of activities for the kids! Stacy and Keli's kids went with us. We also ran into Stephanie and her kids. We had fun! The funniest part was the Monsters Stomach which was like a Haunted House, it was dark and made scary noises! We all went through it the first time and only the boys cried! Kenzie and Syd thought they were so cool cause it wasn't scary to them. So they decided that they wanted to go again and this time it was just them and me and a million other people! They got so scared that we ended up getting out before the end! I don't know why it wasn't scary the first time for them but this time they couldn't wait to get out! I couldn't stop laughing! It was fun to spend time with my kids! They are the best.

SOCCER!!!

So this year I thought it would be fun to sign Max up to coach Mason's soccer team! Little did I know that I would end up doing it all, but I have to admit I have had a lot of fun. This year Mason is on the team with most of his cousins! Mason, Addisyn, Payton, and Zach are all on my team! They have been so fun to coach! Our team name is blue lightning! Mason isn't sure how much he likes to play soccer. I don't know if that is because I am the coach or if he really doesn't like it! He has to make sure that I am close while he plays! He hasn't really let go of me long enough to score a goal or kick the ball but he is getting better! Zach, Addi and Payton on the other hand try to help him come close. They are all really good players! Mason's favorite part of soccer is kicking the ball and maybe the treats at the end. Our last game is tomorrow night! I am kind of sad but glad it will be over. Then maybe my life won't be as CRAZY!
