The Luckiest Girl Ever!!

Madelynn is so Lucky!! She has three brothers literally eating out of her hands. They will do anything she wants(including playing tea party with her). They love her alot! She always wants what ever they are eating- she just says "I wanna Bite?" and they share with her. As you can see she is sitting in the middle of the table (which she is not suppose to do!!) begging from Matthew- and of course got her way!! Lets just say this little girl is one lucky girl to have so much brotherly love!! Thank goodness for girls!!

A New Year!!

Well it is now 2009! We are glad for a new year! 2008 was a crazy and exciting year for us! For New Years we went to Jake's sisters and played games with his family it was a good time! We didn't plan on staying all night but ended up staying until about 12 pm. We are definitely getting old!! Staying up late isn't like it use to be! Anyway we look forward to a better year in 2009 and hope you all have a great year also!

Robert & Minnie

This is a picture of my little Brother Robert! He wanted his dog to sit on Santa's lap so we made him sit also. He loves this poodle!! I think it is hilarious- he is this "cool" dude with a white poodle! Robert is single and a great catch if any one is looking??? (he is a fire fighter)

A Puppy For Christmas?!?!

This year for Christmas Marcus asked for a puppy!! He sat on Santa's lap twice and asked for a Dalmatian Puppy both times?! Thank goodness Santa Knows me and didn't send a puppy!! Marcus decided after Christmas that he must not have been very good because he didn't get a puppy. I told him Santa only brings Puppies to people who have fences!!

Christmas Break

We had a great Christmas this year! I haven't had time to update my blog so here is a recap of Christmas. We got to spend time with family and friends at various parties and had a great time! Its always nice to see everyone! For Christmas Eve we all go over to my parents house in Pleasant Grove for a party. Santa usually stops by to say hello to the kids. We order out Chinese food ( that's my mom's idea of cooking??). It is always a good time, we open gifts and eat and eat!! On Christmas we get up and unwrap presents and hang out! We always have a big breakfast- in fact our tradition is green pancakes! Which the kids love! For some reason they think green pancakes taste different then normal pancakes. (Whatever!) Then we play all day! This year we got the boys a WII! It was alot of fun-we had family and friends over all threw Christmas playing games on the WII. Matthew is really good at Guitar Hero! It would probably take me years to learn to play that game!! Usually on Christmas night we go to my parents and eat a big Christmas dinner. (Yummy ham from the honey baked ham store) This year Jakes parents came up from Arizona after Christmas and we got to visit with them- that was nice! We miss them! We had a great Christmas! It is always nice to reflect on how blessed we are for everything that we have!!

That's Not The "Real Santa"

So I think my 10 year old is starting to figure things out!! I over heard Matthew telling Mckay that this is not the "Real Santa". I asked him who he thought the real Santa was- he had no answer. We are going to have to have a little talk about Santa for sure by next Christmas! I cant believe I have a child that old-it makes me feel old!! For now will let him contemplate on the wonder of Santa!
