Our Very Own NAKED COWBOY!

Have you ever seen the "Naked Cowboy"? Well we have our very own version right here!

Kangaroo Zoo

We decided to get out of the house and take the kids to Kangaroo Zoo Saturday. Morgan had been before for a couple of birthday parties, but the kids thought it would be fun. They were definately worn out when we got home!

Basketball

Justin had another basketball game Saturday, with only one left I decided to take some more pictures and video. He loves to watch the montage to see how well he did. This week we played against some of his football friends, so it was a very exciting win!





Once again he has a new addition to his wardrobe!

Chinese New Year

So Thursday night Brian and I took Justin to his first Blue and Gold banquet. The theme was the Chinese New Year. There were all kinds of crazy food that we were able to taste test, needless to say the most adventurous thing that I tasted was a red bean dessert thing and a candied kiwi. It wasn't too bad, but all I could think about were the things that David got to try on his mission. YUCK!! Everyone at the table was talking about what nasty things they have all tried and they were quite impressed with Brian eating Haggis, once again YUCK! Anyways all along the one wall in the cultural hall they had posted what sign you were, according to the year that you were born. We were so amazed at how accurate it was... See for yourself.

Christy- (Horse)
Horses are self-reliant, hard worker, energetic, independent, cheerful, perceptive, although they sometimes talk too much. They are wise, talented, and good with their hands. They are impatient, and they like entertainment and large crowds. Chinese zodiac horses are most compatible with Tigers


Brian- (Tiger)
Tigers are born leaders. Although they are magnetically charming and fun to be around, Tigers like to go it alone sometimes too. They are courageous beyond compare but can be quick tempered. They can react poorly under stress and are prone to emotional outbursts.

It was pretty funny and amazing to see how very close to our personalities these signs were. If you are curious to see what your sign is and how well it fits, here is the link to the sight I pulled this info from. http://chinese.astrology.com/


HAPPY NEW YEAR

Blogger slacker

I know I have been the biggest slacker, but I haven't had much to blog about... so here is what we have been doing the past week or so.





Morgan and I went to see Hannah Montana last week together. It was really fun, and Morgan seemed to have a great time. It was fun to have something to do without the boys (although we love them). I don't know why I didn't get a picture of us together, but I took one of Kaden with the cool 3-d glasses we got from the movie. He thought they were his new sunglasses. Perfect fit?






The Valentine's Day to remember. The pictures says it all. Today was really a test of my love for my children, the crazy one to be exact. We started off the day with heart shaped pancakes and pink milk, which the kids thought was pretty fun and of course my wonderful husband gave me my favorite... yellow roses. After the kids got off to school Kaden and I had a little time to get things ready for the Valentine's Day party I was in charge of. Once we were there, I am not sure what came over him, but he turned on me. The entire time we were at the party he was wanting something, crying, hitting me and whinning (my all time favorite). I was so glad when the party was over, although Justin said he had a good time :) and that's all that matters right? I was getting ready to leave the school and I noticed Kaden was missing. My heart sank!!! I looked everywhere for him. Justin's teacher even started sending kids around the school to find him. I guess he just decided it would be okay to leave the building and go to the far side of the school to play on the playground, with no one else in site. I don't know what made me look for him there, but sure enough he was just having a good ol time.

Later that night after dinner was done and everyone was calming down(Kaden was a handful the WHOLE DAY), we were just laying around watching t.v. and Kaden came up to me and was just staring at me. I looked at him and said "I don't really like you right now" He then smiled and said "I love you Mom". I just died. Everything that he did that day was just washed away in that instance. How could you be mad at this ghetto site?




I just realized that all my pictures are of the boys this week. Justin had a basketball game again this Saturday. Of course another fun one to watch. It's fun to watch a team do so well together. Justin makes me proud everytime I watch him play. There was one play of the game that I wish I had on video, but you will have to just imagine it. Justin had got the rebound and dribbled all the way to the other side of the court. There was a couple of guys that were guarding him, so he crossed over and layed it in, like he has been doing it for years. I about came out of my seat when I saw it happening. It was SWEET!

By the way... do you like his new Lebron James look???

Happy 34th Birthday Brian!!



For the man who does it all !!!!!!



Who means so much to all of us!!




We love you! Have a special day!

Tropical Paradise

For those of you in Texas right now enjoying the 85 degree weather, this is for you!! Do you see what we have to endure to truly appreicate the summer? It seems as if it is never going to stop. I think we get a break tomorrow and then we get hit again Wednesday. CRAZY! When we got up Sunday morning to get ready for church it was already coming down, and while we were there, they canceled all the other wards in our building. I'll try and save some snow for you Britt!
p.s. Suz, did you ever measure :)
