What we do on a boring weekend

2010-02-20T17:12:00.000-08:00

We pull out semi loose teeth, its only her second one to lose. We finally agree to learning how to ride a bike. This bike has been sitting in our garage for 2 years waiting to be ridden. She has been to scared to try it and now suddenly agreed to be taught how. Picked it right up like a champ!! Way to go BROOKE!!!

Dont Tell her She'll Kill Me!

2010-02-18T17:22:00.001-08:00

Paige and the Pumpkin Patch

2010-02-18T17:06:00.000-08:00

Paige's preschool class went to the pumpkin patch during November. She had a blast and begged to go back everyday.

A Sweet Little Girl Turned 5!!

2010-02-18T16:55:00.000-08:00

I just cant believe my youngest is 5 years old already. She is growing up way to fast. Somedays i cant wait for her to be in school and then other days i just want to snuggle her all the time. She is so sweet and always says the cutest things. She likes to come up to me and say mom can we play tickle? How can i resist?? I love that little special thing we have together. She will just randomly come up to me and say Mom I love you so much!! Melt my heart i tell ya..

Fun with Friends

2010-02-18T16:49:00.000-08:00

Paige has 2 play groups that she is in, one on Mondays and one on Wednesdays. She loves both and cant wait to play with her friends. One of her little friends is Yleana and she is a sweetie. She and Paige get along really well and have a great time together as you can see.

Late but better than not at all right?

2010-02-18T16:44:00.000-08:00

So i am trying to organize all my photos on my computer and whatnot and i came across this picture from Mothers Day last year!! I distinctly remember telling Matt that i wanted a picture with all my girls on Mothers Day and then i never posted it!! So here it is almost a year later..

U Wanna some Barbie Cake?

2009-10-12T21:00:00.000-07:00

Paige made this cake at Mrs. Karens Summer Fun Classes. Every kid in the class got to make one!! She loves Ms. Karen and loved her cake even more.

Fishing with Daddy

2009-10-12T20:49:00.000-07:00

My husband loves to fish and wants his daughters to love it just as much as he does. I think they kinda do, but what they really like is the alone time that they get to spend with him and all the junk food they get to eat and drink while on their "FISHING TRIPS" This was up at Panguitch Lake in Utah.

Our Special Blankets

2009-10-12T20:33:00.000-07:00

Matt's mom started a tradition several years ago that she would make a blanket and a bear for all of her grandchildren. Meagan of course was the first being the oldest grandchild. Eventually Taylor's turn came about and then just recently Brooke's came about. She got her blanket when we were in St. George visiting Matt's parents. Brooke was really excited to get her blanket and it turned out really beautiful. Now Paige is the last one in our family that will be getting one, but she has several cousins ahead of her just yet, so she has to be patient and wait just awhile longer.

The Soccer Queen

2009-10-12T20:23:00.000-07:00

This is the first year for soccer for Brooke. She is WAY excited. She didnt know any of the girls on her team, but that didnt matter she became fast friends with them all. She totally enjoys soccer, she is pretty good too for having no prior experience. She scored a goal on her very first game, so hey I'm impressed! She is about a head taller than all the other girls and she is faster when she wants to be. She loves it that she has something that she gets to do with Dad all by herself. Matt and I enjoy her games very much. It is so hard as a parent to watch your kid outh there doing sports and not run out there and protect them or make them do what you want them too. It's a blast!

Young At Heart

2009-10-12T20:07:00.000-07:00

This is my husbands grandfather. His name is Earl Williams! I love him dearly! He calls my husband, Matt Dog. I love it. We just celebrated his 93rd birthday with a huge party. This man has been a very important person in my husbands life. Matt lived at his grandpa's ranch for 2 years when he was younger. His grandfather baptized him. His grandfather taught him about hard work and integrity. Matt continued to go out and work for his grandfather on the ranch durning the summers after his family moved to Vegas. My children love their great grandpa. He always wants to see them and talk to them about how they are doing. Everytime i see grandpa he tells me how lucky Matt is to have me as a wife, this makes me happy, grandpa thinks I'm the BOMB!

Huntington Anyone?

2009-06-22T18:20:00.000-07:00

We love Huntington Beach and try to escape there anytime we get the chance, well we had a good friend who also enjoys it as much as we do, invite us on a vaca, soooo!!

What fun!! This was one of our funest group trips yet!! Great bunch of couples who went with us. The weather was a little difficult the first day and a half but after that it was great. The kids were entertained and we soaked up the sun. What more can you ask for. How about dinner away from the kids, we had that too!! Thanks to Meagan and my nephew Austin, all the adults went out and had a great mexican food dinner and TONS of laughs.

Definately need a repeat!

Annual Mexico Trip

2009-06-22T17:59:00.000-07:00

Well we did our annual Mexico trip this year in April for spring break. Only this year we invited a few extra people, the Herleans and the Evensons made the trek down with us. It was an eventful trip to say the least. Lots of fun though and we look forward to doing it again. Kids had a blast and the mango's were as good as they always are. The guys did a fishing expedition that did not disappoint!!

My Mac Pack Gals

2009-06-22T17:49:00.000-07:00

There is an award at the girls school that is given out to 1 student per class per month for outstanding behavior, grades, participation etc. Well this year both of my gals have received this prestigious award. Taylor did in December and Brooke in May! I am so proud of them!! You get to have lunch from McDonalds and eat it with the principal. (not a reward if you ask me) They were super excited and glowed the whole month.

Can You Tell We Had Our Pictures Taken??

2009-04-26T21:56:00.000-07:00

So we havent had our family pictures taken in oh about 7 years!! Thought that it was about time. I have a friend who is fabulous at taking candid photos so i contacted her and we set up a PHOTO SHOOT at Town Square with 2 other photographers and had a blast. These are just a few of the many that were taken. If you would like to know who that wonderful photographer is you can go here leslistreetsphotography.com

Easter

2009-04-13T16:59:00.000-07:00

Easter this year was kind of thrown together. We went to Mexico for a few days during Spring Break and then came home to crudy weather. We did an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday with friends which was good cause the kids needed to get out and play. Sunday we had Easter dinner at our house with my family. It was beautiful outside!!! The kids went swimming and we ate good food and then just relaxed. It was nice. Here are some photos of the egg hunt and a few other random ones that i keep forgetting to post.

Whats New??!!?

2009-04-02T09:10:00.000-07:00

I haven't felt like posting anything new in quite awhile. I got thru spurts of being really into my blog and then not caring. Since my last post, my oldest daughter has turned 17, and then shortly thereafter i turned 37. Aah the joys of teenagers and getting old yourself. Her birthday this year was pretty simple, she went out with her friends and did i made her favorite dinner and that was about it.

For my birthday so very dear friends treated me to a lovely lunch with lots of yummy food and great conversation. Thanks GUYS!

It feels as though the months are flying by and that i dont get much accomplished. I am looking forward to the summer though. I miss bbq's with friends and swimming with the kids. Bring on the heat!!!

Back from the Dead

2009-02-02T09:44:00.000-08:00

Ok so i left and went to Utah for a week, my first mistake! I left Las Vegas on a beautiful sunny 75 degree afternoon. I arrived a mere 6 hours later in Utah to freezing rain and snow, and inversion whatever that is. So we were trapped inside for approximately 4 days straight. This is not conducive to a healthly group of small children. Needless to say we bolted out of there bright and early on Tuesday and made a dash for home. Upon arriving in our sunny, non snow covered oasis i began to feel the effects of my recent quaratine in the petrie dish of germs that is Utah. So for all of you who have been wondering about my whereabouts this last week i have been painstakingly trying to recover my health and that of my childrens health in our humble abode.

My Little Girl

2009-01-29T19:18:00.000-08:00

Ok so i am feeling a little nostalgic and little depressed, in less than a month my oldest is turning 17. I cant bear it!!! Where has the time gone. I have vivid memories of her childhood. Beautiful blue eyes, chubby little face and an adorable, sweet, loving attitude. Where did that kid go??? It has been replaced with beautiful blue eyes now surrounded by long mascara clad eyelashes, long dark thick hair (do i sound jealous) and a flawless teenagers body, attitude i wont even go there. She makes me crazy, we argue tons cause of course we dont see eye to eye on most things, but when it all boils down to it, i love her just as much as i did the first time i laid eyes on her all those 17 years ago. I LOVE YOU MEAGAN!

SNOW IN VEGAS?!?!?!?!

2008-12-20T16:01:00.000-08:00

Oh how we love the snow! My kids pray for snow every year about this time, and secretly i do too. I fully expected it not to snow this year, since it has been really warm up until this last week. So on Wednesday my kids were off of school for parent teacher conferences and so we were doing some running around and about 11:30 i saw some microscopic pieces of snow floating around, so i said hey girls it's snowing!! Low and behold it would start to SERIOUSLY come down until about 10:30 that night. I cant believe the amount of snow that dumped on us. It was great, unless you had to drive anywhere in it! THAT STUNK! My kids have played in it non stop for the last few days, and enjoyed everyminute of it. We have drank tons of Hot Chocolate and eaten tons of chili, Homemad chicken noodle soup and just chilled. Here is some of the fun we had:::::::

Birthday Boy

2008-10-28T18:27:00.000-07:00

So on the 18th we went out with family and friends to celebrate Matt's 33rd birthday. It was alot of fun we went to TAO in the Venetian and had dinner. The food there is great, but the company was even better. We had a wonderful time and BIG THANK YOU to all who came. I have attached some pictures of the events, much to my husbands dismay, but they are just to funny to pass up. The cake came from a friend with a really great sense of humor!!

We decided to take the kids to the beach and Sea World before they headed back to school. It was really nice to just hangout at the beach and do nothing. We had a fun time at Sea World, we have been there alot but the kids just love it. We had smores by the firepit at our hotel and just relaxed for 5 days. I love summer vacations. But i love it when school starts again too. Only this time the house is really quiet. Meagan, Tayor and now Brooke are in school full time. Paige has preschool 3 days a week and a playgroup 1 day a week. So i have alot of alone time that i am not used to.

Maybe now i will go back to the gym and get super sexy!

Probably NOT!

Ok, so i am already really bad about this blog stuff. I never check in on it or add anything to it. I have been rereading my Twilight books for the last couple weeks. I am one step away from getting divorced, or sooo my husband says. I have completely ignored him for many weeks as i retreat to my room so i can be alone with my books. Lets face it, no mortal husband can ever live up to the Edward we all have in our minds, no matter how great he is. I am addicted to these books. Am I Sad or WHAT???!!?!!?

Anyway here are a bunch of pictures from our summer adventures.

2008-08-11T19:26:00.000-07:00

Matt decided to go up to Provo with his dad for a few days of fishing this week and i was left behind to finish out the school year with the kids and deal with a broken airconditioner!!! Some friends invited us out to the lake on Saturday. What a BLAST! My first time riding a tube, my kids too. They did great. It was such a beautiful day to be out on the water just having fun and relaxing. I am just sad my hubby wasn't there to see me ride the tube and get launched off of it as well. (thanks GREG!!) Anyways here are some pictures of our fun.

Birthday Girls

2008-08-07T23:29:00.000-07:00

Well Taylor turned 8 on July 21st and Brooke turned 6 on July 29th so we decided to have a pool party!! Matt provided the entertainment and i provided the food. It was tons of fun and the kids were totally wiped out afterwards. Here is some of the fun they had.

2008-08-07T23:22:00.000-07:00

Taylor was baptized on August 2, 2008! All my husbands family made the trip so that they could be here for the special day. We were only missing one person, my sister-in-law. What a huge family!!!! We are so greatful that they could all come!!

2008-08-07T20:04:00.000-07:00

2008-08-07T19:53:00.000-07:00

I have no idea what i am doing so everybody bear with me. The only reason i am doing this is because my kids are begging me to. They say, "we are the only ones who dont have a blog!" They like to look at other peoples blog pages with me and see the pictures of other kids. So here we go!!!!
