Well after Macenzi's 1st answer I was contemplating that maybe this wasn't such a good idea lol!!! She had me rollin!! These kids are a riot!!! LOVE THEM!!

Random Stuff

Well I haven't updated in AWHILE!!! So I thought I would!! I will do better to keep up instead of slammin ya with TOO much information LOL!!


Allen took me to Wendover in January for a surprise Christmas present. We spent the night in Salt Lake. We saw Aaron Lewis in concert there. He is the lead singer of Staind. It was fun!! I had a blast!! I got a lil car sick and felt like crap that night and the next morning so we came straight home! But it was fun!! I love him for surprising me!!



Well Mr. Mason is gettin around quite well as you can see!! I blockaded the TV. He like the blue light on my DVR and tries to eat it!! So I put pillows up. As you can see they didn't do their job. He just crawled around on the left and climbed up on the entertainment center and ate my IKEA ad!! Love this boy!!! He is getting to be quite the handful!!! Having SOOO much fun with him!!!



Ashton decided he would play basketball this year instead of wrestling!!.......He had fun!! It helped that he was on a good team and they won all but one of their games!!! He is no.3!! Like how he had time to pose. He's a funny boy!! He loves playin basketball!!



Well my cute return missionary is growing up!! (In age that is) He turned 36 this year!!! Boy how the time flies!!! He is such a good husband and father!! I am really lucky to have him!!!




Well.....I had Monday off this week from my Internet job and decided to be a bit productive while Mason was asleep. So I organized the cupboards!! Doubt this will last....but at least I was productive!!

For FHE we went over to the chapel and played a little. Macenzi worked on soccer. Ashton worked on basketball and Aidan worked on his tennis!! LOL!! He is crying because as Macenzi was kicking a goal kick he walked in front of her and the ball hit him in the side of the head!! POOR guy that ball was hard!!! It popped Macenzi in the mouth and made her mouth bleed!! Then we ended with a game of Around the World. Uncle David won!!!

Good times!!

1st Christmas, UFC, St. George, 2nd Christmas

Kids asleep on the way to Vegas!

!!! It's been crazy!! But here I am ready to udate our Holiday events! We left on Christmas Eve at 1am and drove to Vegas!! It was a pretty quick drive actually!! The kids slept the entire time. We spent Christmas at my brother Matt's house. Mom and Chel flew in on Christmas Eve. David and Bre flew in on Chrstmas day!! Santa made sure to fill the kids stockings!!!! They got to open 2 presents besides there stockings!!! They did really good with that!! We just hung out on Christmas Day and then went to my Uncle Danny's for Christmas dinner!!!

Ashton and Aidan spent Christmas Eve in the hot tub!!

The kids puttin cookies out for Santa!

It was 9 am!! Look at Macenzi you would think it was like 5 am.

Good ol Santa showed up for the stockings.

Allen was putting peanuts in the gun and shooting them into Davids mouth!!!!

Relaxin after Christmas dinner.

HMMMMMMMM???!!! Inappropriate????

Well......the whole reason for our trip to Vegas for Christmas was UFC!!!! We had a blast. The day after Christmas we went down to the MGM Grand for the Autograph signing , Q&A session and the weigh ins. The kids had a blast!!! We did have to do A LOT of waiting in lines and just WAITING!! So....to pass the time a lot of pics were taken. Believe me this is only a couple!!
Bre, Me and Chel!

Macenzi

Ashton

Aidan

At the autograph session there was Stephen Bonner(We don't like him, but he saw Ashtons hair and was talkin to him about Chuck Liddell. How Chuck is an Accountant. And he signed his picture. To Ashton: Train hard......get good grades! Very nice guy to the kids)

Stephen Bonner

Mac Danzig

Efrain Escudero-He was the latest winner of Ulitimate Fighter House!

After the autograph session we went into the Q&A session with Randy Couture!!! That was really fun. We were already a fan of his, but we just absolutely love him now!!! Very nice guy!!

Allen, Me, Randy Couture, Macenzi, Ashton, Chelsya and Aidan

All of us but Allen waiting for the weighins to start.

Ashton made a friend with a seeing eye PITBULL!!! LOL Only in Vegas!!

We also got to see Kenny Florian!

This is the closest we have ever gotten to Chuck Liddell!!

Well after all that fun! The fights were great!! Not all of them turned out the way we would have liked. They were good fights anyway!!

We left Sunday morning and took the kids to St. George and they went swimming and we took them to see Bedtime Stories. We went to dinner with a friend of ours that lives in Hurricane. It was a good break from all of the vegas excitement!! It also breaks up the drive home!This is them in our hotel room!

Time for 2nd Christmas!!! Whew! I'm pooped!!!

Everyone was home on Monday night so we had our Christmas on Tuesday morning. Allen's parents came and joined us and Kents donuts provided our breakfast LOL!! It was a very busy but fun holiday!! I think the kids had a blast!! Sure hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and New Years!!

We bought them footie jammies in Vegas!! Macenzi thought it would be fun to have some too!! She wanted spiderman over Hannah Montana or Dora!! Can't say I blame her. Then kids kids are playing the Guitar Hero they got for Christmas!!

Pedicures

So we have been up to a lot!! I was gonna post all at one time, but still waiting to get all of the pictures. So I thought I would post about our pedicure. When my brother Matt was here at Thanksgiving he wanted to get pedicures.....so we did!!! Well....he thought it should be a tradition that whenever we are together we get them. He won't do them by himself (even though his feet are AWFUL)....so while we were in Vegas the girls (and Matt) (no he's not gay) got pedicures!!! Macenzi only got her toes painted.

(Matt and Bre(davids wife))

In November we couldn't convince him to paint them black. Even though I told him fighters do!! Even Chuck Liddell does!! (UFC fighter for those who have no clue) But he wouldn't.....well we convinced him at Christmas to get them painted black!! HAHAHAHA!!!

Macenzi just after she got her's painted (only, I'm to cheap to pay for her young feet to get a pedicure)

Macenzi and Chel just done!!!
Black toe nail polish is MATT, Chel has the flip flop on, then Bre (my sis in law), Macenzi and ME!!

Off to Vegas

We are off to Vegas to spend it with my brother Matthew and my Uncle Danny! Plus the whole reason we are going to vegas for Christmas UFC BABY!!! Just wanted to wish everyone a VERY Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! Be safe!!!

FRUSTRATED

I need to do just a little venting!! So I am trying to buy my 11 year old daughter a cd! Good luck finding one that doesn't insinuate sex or have foul language in it! (Yes I know Mindy she hears it from me but its not the same in the music LOL HAHA)
Luckily Walmart does edit their music so I can buy a cd with out language but not without sex!!
I made the mistake last year of buying the Now 26 cd for her. I thought it was a great idea, you know a lot of different artists, you get the most popular songs! Well one of them was singing about making a girls eyes roll into the back of her head!! I tried to ignore it BUT Allen bout had a hemorrhage!! He has never let me live it down! So now I am trying to buy her some cd's for Christmas I am having to look up the lyrics to each song first!! What a PIA!!!! UGH!!! The only one she has so far is Beyonce's new one!! Any suggestions. The problem is she HATES high school musical, Jonas Brothers, and whatever other disney stuff there is. I was gonna buy the David Archuleta one! Allen and Chel said NO!!! MY HANDS ARE TIED!!!! UGH!!!!
I will probably just end up downloading songs from Itunes and making her cd's!!!
