This was officially Mckay's last prom! Wow, I cannot believe how fast time has really gone! They had a great time!

2009-03-22T21:19:00.000-07:00

TONIGHT AS A FAMILY, WE POPPED POPCORN,HAD ICE CREAM, AND SNUGGLED UP TO WATCH TWILIGHT! I AM IN HIGH HOPES THAT THE BOYS IN THIS HOUSE LEARNED A THING OR TWO ABOUT US GIRLS! THE ARTICLE WRITTEN IN THE PAPER LAST WEEK ABOUT TWILIGHT, WAS THE BEST. IT WAS WRITTEN BY A MAN NAMED MICHAEL DE GROOTE. YES, A MAN WROTE IT! IT WAS TITLED "TWILIGHT-A GUIDE FOR MEN." HE TALKS ABOUT HOW EDWARD IS THE PERFECT MAN. HE IS SENSITIVE,BEAUTIFUL,TALENTED,MOODY. WOMEN LOVE HIM EVEN THOUGH HIS LIPS ARE COLD AND PROBABLY STAINED WITH COUGAR BLOOD. HE SAYS THAT IN A WOMAN'S MIND, MEN ARE ALL EDWARDS! EDWARD REPRESENTS ALL OF THE GOOD IN MEN. BUT HE SAYS, MEN ARE ALSO VAMPIRES. THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE LIFE MISERABLE FOR WOMEN. THEY CAN GIVE IN TO THEIR OWN DESIRES WITHOUT REGARD FOR HOW IT WOULD DESTROY THEIR LIVES. MEN HAVE THE POWER TO DAZZLE OR DESTROY, HE SAYS. EDWARD CONTROLS HIS VAMPIRISH IMPULSES AND DEEP DESIRES, BECAUSE HE LOVES BELLA. HE WANTS HER TO BE HAPPY AND LIVE! COULDN'T AGREE MORE MR. DE GROOTE. IT IS A GREAT ARTICLE I MUST SAY. I THINK MEN WHO WILL READ OR WATCH TWILIGHT ARE THE MANLIEST MEN ON THE PLANET! THANKS FOR WATCHING WITH ME BABE! FOR THE TWILIGHT FANS- I PASS ON THIS BLOG THAT IS AWESOME. CLICK HERE

On friday night, my sisters and our daughters went to a concert at the old Murray Theater. We had a room upstairs to watch the concert in,have Sushi, and birthday cake for my nieces. The concert was Adele and James Morrison which were both fabulous! The big surprise was when we realized David Archuleta was in the room next to ours! He was kind enough to snap some pictures with us and sign a few autographs. It was pretty disturbing that my heart was goin' a pitter patter for a kid my sons age! Ew! We all melted when he was singing along with the concert! It was a blast!

My new favorite clothing line! I don't have any of the pieces yet, but am dreaming about them. Click here to see the store! She also has an Etsy store that she will custom make her items to fit you perfectly! I have seen these clothes in person, and they are amazing and look great on every body type.

I just got "BUGGED!" by pedaling. I am supposed to name 10 things that bug me and then pass it along.

1)paying full price for something
2)people that hold a grudge
3)dirty dishes in the sink
4)white zits that need to be popped
5)newspaper left all over the bathroom floor when the garbage is 2 in. away
6)snotty people
7)the massive veins that have literally taken over my legs!
8)when somebody touches my belly button-ew I cant even think about it
9)dust-but I dont do anything about it
10)when the fire alarm starts to chirp in the middle of the night saying "I need new batteries!" It is always in the middle of the night when you dont have those type of batteries.

I am going to BUG-

1)Jen
2)Kendra
3)Tiffany
4)Stephanie
5)Anj
6)Erin
7)Tammy
8)Baylee
9)Makaylee
10)epper-p-epsies

2008-12-04T08:02:00.000-08:00

every year our family does a tree for the "Festival of Trees." We do that instead of gifts for eachother and to also show our gratitude for Primary Children's Hospital. 3 years ago, my niece was in ICU there with very little chance of survival. She had Myocarditis that stemmed from the flu. The flu basically attacked her heart. They had seen 2 other children that year come in for the same thing and neither of them survived. They put a balloon in her heart with little hope it would work. We saw many miracles at that time, and have a thriving, healthy niece at this time! WE LOVE PRIMARY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL!!!!!

2008-12-04T07:57:00.000-08:00

2008-11-23T21:10:00.001-08:00

HERE ARE A FEWS PICS OF OUR LATEST TRIP TO CHINA. THESE WERE ALL TAKEN IN SHANGHAI. IT REMINDED ME OF NEW YORK CITY. TONS OF HIGH RISES,BUSINESSES, AND SHOPPING! THE PICTURE OF THE FOOD IS SEA URCHIN! IT WAS DISGUSTING! I ALSO SAMPLED PIGEON,RAW HORSE,PUFFER FISH, AND MANY MORE YUCKY FOODS. ALL WAS WASHED DOWN HEAVILY WITH FLAT COKE. IT WAS GLAD I CAME PREPARED WITH GOOD OLD AMERICAN SNACKS TO TIDE ME OVER! THE OTHER PICS ARE IN THE GARDENS IN SHANGHAI. I BEGGED SEAN TO WEAR THAT OUTFIT FOR A PIC AND I GUARANTEE IT HADN'T BEEN WASHED FOR 1,000 YEARS! AT LEAST THE HEAD PIECE MADE ME LOOK A LITTLE TALLER! CHINA WAS AN EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO VISIT!

2008-11-23T20:47:00.000-08:00

SO TODAY I TOLD THE KIDS THEY ALL NEEDED TO GET A PLASTIC BAGGY ON THEIR HAND AND A GROCERY SACK IN THE OTHER AND HEAD TO THE BACK YARD TO CLEAN UP ALL OF YANKEE'S POOP! BAYLEE AND GRACIE CAME BACK WITH A BAG OF POOP, WHILE PEYTON CAME IN SAYING IT STINKS TOO BAD! I TOLD HIM TO BREATH THROUGH HIS MOUTH AND HE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SMELL IT. I HEARD HIM OUTSIDE TELLING HIMSELF TO BREATH THROUGH HIS MOUTH. HE CAME IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER WITH TEARS ROLLING DOWN HIS CHEEKS. HE HANDED ME HIS BAG THAT DIDN'T HAVE ANY POOP IN IT-ONLY HIS OWN BARFFFFFF!
IF YOU KNOW PEYTON, HIS SNIFFER IS REALLY SENSITIVE! I COULDN'T HELP BUT DIE OF LAUGHTER. HE GOES TO EXTREMES TO NOT HAVE TO HELP AROUND HERE!!!!

Last night Mac had a baseball game at UVU. He wasn't feeling very well, but of course still wanted to play ball. He not only hit his first home run in his High School career, but he hit TWO back to back!!! I of course didn't catch it on camera, so here is a pic of Mac pitching.

IT'S OFFICIAL! WE HAVE A SENIOR IN THE HOUSE. HOW COULD THAT BE? IT FEELS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY THAT HE WAS AT HIS KINDERGARTEN INTERVIEW FAKING THE TEACHER OUT-PICKING A RANDOM LETTER OR COLOR AND MAKING SURE HE SAID THE WRONG ANSWER. I WILL NEVER FORGET SOBBING ALL THE WAY HOME WHEN THE TEACHER THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR FOR HIM TO START KINDERGARTEN. "WHY ARE YOU CRYING MOM? I WAS JUST PRETENDING THAT I DIDN'T KNOW THE ANSWERS-THAT WAS FUNNY-HUH MOM? WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU MAC!

2008-09-09T08:53:00.000-07:00

WE MISS OUR DAD! HE HAS ONLY BEEN GONE FOR A LITTLE OVER A WEEK, AND WE HAVE 2 MORE TO GO.
THINGS WE MISS:
MOTORCYCLE RIDES TO HARMONS ON SAT. MORNINGS TO GET BREAKFAST
MOTORCYCLE RIDES TO GET OUR FAVORITE FROZEN YOGURT.(IT IS CALLED "SPOON ME.")
I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT TASTES REALLY GOOD, AND SEAN JUST LIKES THE NAME!
HAVING HELP WITH HOMEWORK
HOME COOKED MEALS-BECAUSE MOM DOESN'T COOK WHEN DADS GONE!
WEEKEND DATES
WATCHING YANKEE JUMP AS HIGH AS COUNTER TOP WHEN SEAN GETS HOME FROM WORK
HEARING HIS VOICE
KEEPING THE PEACE
POPPING THE KIDS ZITS!-THEY DON'T SEEM TO LET ME
FAMILY PRAYER
FIXING OUR LEAKY FAUCET

WE LOVE YOU DAD! HAVE FUN IN CHINA WITHOUT US!

FATHER'S DAY IS APPROACHING AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A PERFECT TIME TO HONOR MY HUBBY. SEAN BASICALLY GOT THROWN INTO BEING A HUSBAND AND A FATHER AT A PRETTY YOUNG AGE. HE HAD TO LITERALLY GROW UP OVERNIGHT. HE WENT INTO THOSE ROLES FULL FORCE AND NEVER LOOKED BACK. THE EARLY YEARS OF MARRIAGE CONSISTED OF FULL TIME WORK AND FULL TIME SCHOOL. HE ALWAYS HAD A WAY OF MAKING IT LOOK EASY. SEAN STILL MADE SURE THAT HIS FAMILY WAS TOP PRIORITY IN HIS LIFE. THROUGH HIS EXAMPLE, OUR KIDS LEARNED AT A YOUNG AGE WHAT DEDICATION, HARD WORK,LOVE AND DEVOTION WAS. THEY KNOW WITH NO QUESTION, THAT THEIR DAD LOVES THEM AND WOULD DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE SURE THEY FEEL SAFE AND PROTECTED. HE IS NEVER TOO BUSY TO OFFER FATHERLY ADVICE OR GIVE THEM A BLESSING. THE KIDS ALWAYS KNOW THAT WHEN DAD IS HOME, THE FUN BEGINS. WHETHER IT IS PRACTICING BASEBALL WITH MAC, TAKING BAYLEE SCHOOL SHOPPING, OR BOWLING WITH GRACIE AND PEYTON,HE WILL BE UP FOR ALL OF IT. THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR TAKING HIS WIFE ON A DATE, OR SURPRISING HER WITH A LITTLE GET AWAY. NOW THAT THE KIDS ARE GETTING OLDER, HE IS DEFINATELY THE ONE THE KIDS GO TO FOR HELP WITH THEIR HOMEWORK. HE HAS A WAY TO TEACH THEM WITHOUT ANYONE BEING IN TEARS BY THE END. PEOPLE WHO KNOW SEAN WOULD NOT REALIZE THAT HE IS THE PEACEMAKER IN OUR HOME. HE ISN'T REALLY KNOWN AS THE PATIENT ONE! BUT IN OUR HOME, HE IS! WITH A BUSY SCHEDULE AT WORK, HE IS TRAVELING MUCH OF THE TIME. I ADMIRE HIM FOR THE DEDICATION AND HARD WORK THAT HE PUTS INTO HIS JOB. WITHOUT A DOUBT, I KNOW THAT HE DOES IT ALL FOR HIS WIFE AND KIDS. HIS LOVE FOR US, AND THE OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE TO BE AN ETERNAL FAMILY, IS WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO HIM. THANK YOU HONEY FOR BEING THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, AND THE BEST FATHER A WIFE COULD HOPE FOR. I LOVE YOU FOREVER, MIN

2008-06-10T15:30:00.000-07:00

SATURDAY WAS BAYLEE AND GRACIE'S DANCE RECITAL. THEY WERE SO INCREDIBLE! THEY HAVE WORKED REALLY HARD THIS YEAR! WE WON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT BEING 6 HOURS LONG! I AM YAWNING THINKING ABOUT IT. TOMORROW THEY HAVE DANCE TRYOUTS FOR NEXT YEAR! YAHOO, AND THEN WE SHALL START SUMMER! MCKAY IS AT UTAH STATE FOR FOOTBALL CAMP. I HOPE HE COMES HOME IN ONE PIECE. PEYTON HAS HAD A COUGH AND HAS TO DO PREDNASONE FOR FIVE DAYS. THE KIDS KEEP TELLING US THAT PEYTON HIT THEM OR IS SCREAMING UNCONTROLLABLY AND SEAN TELLS THEM TO BE PATIENT WITH HIM THROUGH HIS ROID RAGES! SEAN AND I ARE GETTING READY TO GO SEE ELTON JOHN IN CONCERT. I SURPRISED HIM FOR FATHER'S DAY. HE HAS ALWAYS SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE ME FOR ELTON JOHN IF HE HAD THE CHANCE!!!!!! I THINK HE JUST WISHES TO BE SUNG TO SLEEP BY HIM EVERY NIGHT. (I HOPE?)

PEYTON'S FIRST T-BALL GAME WAS GREAT. FOLLOWING IN BIG BROTHER'S FOOTSTEPS? I DON'T KNOW, THE PLAYGROUND WAS MORE INTERESTING TO HIM.

2008-05-30T14:51:00.000-07:00

BAYLEE AND HER CHEER GROUP HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPETE IN THE LAS VEGAS NATIONALS. THEY PLACED 4TH IN THEIR DIVISION OUT OF A TOTAL OF 4! WE DIDN'T MIND BECAUSE WE WERE ALL HAVING SO MUCH FUN SWIMMING AND RIDING ROLLER COASTERS! WHAT A CUTE BUNCH OF GIRLS.

2008-05-30T11:18:00.000-07:00

JUST ONE MORE DAY UNTIL DAD GETS HOME! WE HAVE REALLY MISSED HIM THE PAST TWO WEEKS WHILE HE HAS BEEN IN CHINA. I THINK IT HAS BEEN AN EXHAUSTING EXPERIENCE VISITING SIX DIFFERENT PLACES IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. HE SAID IT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY DEPRESSING WITH THE WHOLE COUNTRY IN MOURNING DUE TO THE MASSIVE EARTHQUAKES. THE DEATH TOLL COULD REACH 100,000 AND MILLIONS WITHOUT HOMES. MANY OF THEM ARE CHILDREN WITHOUT PARENTS. I HOPE WE CAN ALL DO WHAT WE CAN TO HELP OUT THE PEOPLE IN CHINA.

2008-05-30T11:02:00.000-07:00

I HAVE BEEN INSPIRED TO START BLOGGING A LITTLE MORE ABOUT FAMILY, MEMORIES, SPECIAL EVENTS ETC. I HAVE BEEN READING A BLOG THIS PAST WEEK OF MY FRIEND'S FRIEND. I AM COMPLETELY AMAZED BY THIS CUTE COUPLE IN PARK CITY. THEY HAVE JUST LOST THEIR SOON TO BE TWO YEAR OLD BABY GIRL DUE TO A CHOKING ACCIDENT AT CHURCH. THEIR LOVE FOR THE SAVIOR AND HEAVENLY FATHER HAS DEEPLY TOUCHED ME. THEY HAVE SO MUCH FAITH AND SUCH A DEEP COMMITMENT TO ONE ANOTHER. THEIR BLOG WILL BE SUCH A GREAT WAY TO LOOK BACK AT ALL OF THOSE SWEET MEMORIES OF THEIR LITTLE ANGEL. THANK YOU FOR INSPIRING ME!

2008-05-30T10:42:00.000-07:00

WE WERE SO HAPPY WHEN GRACIE MADE THE DECISION TO BE BAPTIZED! WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE NEAT TO HAVE HER BIG BROTHER BAPTIZE HER. GRACIE DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS SUCH A NEAT IDEA. SHE KNEW WE WOULD PROBABLY LEAVE HER UNDER THE WATER A LOOOOOOONG TIME OR MAYBE NEVER, EVER BRING HER BACK UP! GRACIE WANTED HER DAD, AND SO IT WAS! SHE WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE GRANDPA AND GRANDMA FROM AFRICA, CHRIS AND CHRISTA FROM DENVER, ANGIE AND FAM FROM ST. GEORGE AND OF COURSE THE REST OF THE FAMILY FROM HOME TO CELEBRATE THIS DAY WITH HER. IT WAS QUITE THE CROWD! SHE WAS REALLY EXCITED TO BE BAPTIZED RIGHT ON HER 8TH BIRTHDAY! THAT IS SURE TO BE A DAY SHE WILL REMEMBER. CONGRATULATIONS TO GRACIE!!!!!
