Alex: Mr. Basketball

Don't worry...I gave him that title...Alex had a Church ball game this morning at 7:00 a.m. so me and the little boys got up to go and watch him play. What a stud!!! He is really good---no prejudice here---love him!

Megan's date said....YES!

When Megan came home from school today, Stephen had left her a surprise. Do you think she looks a "little" excited in this picture?


The string went around

and around

and around the room!

At the end, a super fuzzy bear with candies and hearts that say YES!

and what did i see?

I just barely went downstairs to move our laundry along. When I came back upstairs into my room (not 5 minutes later) I saw...two sleeping boys camped out on my floor with literally EVERY blanket they own! Shows how scary the wind can be sometimes here in West Jordan.

Megan's asking...

After 15 years, 11 months and 6 days, Megan is finally asking out her first date. She turns 16 on February 8th and LUCKILY the CHHS Sweethearts (girls choice) dance is on the 11th. So this afternoon she took the poster, candy and balloons over to a little boy's house. Now we play the waiting game...stay tuned!

ring ring...PIZZA PARTY!!!

One of the games we got for Christmas is called Quelf. IT. IS. AWESOME. It is the perfect game to play as a family (not a million rules, getting to act super silly, no questions that make you feel dumb, etc.) We had a kickin' time playing it over the holidays and it will probably be a very obvious "go-to" game for those lazy Sunday nights.

the last post of 2011 goes to....BYU BASKETBALL!

For Christmas, the kids each got a BYU/San Diego Universtiy basketball ticket in their stocking. Alex had the night off from Maceys and Steve was off at eBay by 2:30. What a fantastic year-end activity! Happy New Year!!!

Bring. It. On.

Such a good big brother...

Taylor just loves those BYU boys...

Me and my best girls...

Love these kids with all of my heart! Happy New Year!!!

CHRISTMAS...2011

An absolutely perfect Christmas. We got to spend so much time with both sides of the family and have had an absolute blast together. I love my family so much!!
