Front Porch


Decorating Time

Its that time again. Friday night Broc and I Decorated the Christmas tree. Last year he pretty much did it by himself, this year I helped! He loves to decorate, he kept saying "come on Mom lets decorate!" When we got to the bottom of the tote there were about a dozen or so ornaments left that I don't particularly like or thought there was room, but Broc had to have them on the tree and said he could "Squeeze in the back" to put them on. The next morning he got up and was ready to decorate again. When I told him we were done he started to take things off the tree again and place them on the floor and re-put them on again in a different spot. It was so darn funny.
I also decorated my doorway again. I think it looks so cute! I am not done yet, I still have to put the lights on it, but it is so cute. Also last night I noticed that all the neighbors on my side of the street have Christmas lights up but me! I keep telling Kris "you going to disappoint your son by being the only house in the neighborhood with out lights'' "yes" was his reply. He doesn't want to climb on our roof, not that I blame him, I mean have you seen how steep it is. But come on man tie a rope to ya and attach it to something and climb away. I think I am starting to wear him down though. I will continue to work on that! So those that read this that talk to him, ask him if he put them up or not and if not tell him not to be a scourge and put them up. I need all the help I can get!!!!


Broc laying everything out!





Rock Band




Last Wednesday we some of Kris's family come over to play rock band. His one brother Cole was visiting for the weekend so we wanted to show him what he was missing by not living here.
Here is the list of players:

Me-Singer (THE BEST SINGER)
Kris-Singer, Drummer, Guitar
Pip-Terrible singer, Drummer, Guitar
Matt-(Pips friend) Soft Singer, Drummer, Guitar
Cole-Singer, Drummer, Guitar
Kerry-Singer, Drummer, Guitar, Complainer

We rocked out to Beatles, the regular rock band, and Lego Rock Band. We had a fun time and the kids stayed up stairs and watched Santa Buddies. Well they came down sometimes and joined us, which made it more fun.

Come join us if you dare!!!!

Happy Turkey Day






Even though the day has past, I wanted to shout out, "HAPPY THANKSGIVING" to everyone. We had a wonderful time, with great food and family. This year it was our turn to go to Kris's families for dinner. It wasn't the same though because a few family members and their kids were missing due to them going to their in-laws. It was...QUITE. Which was wired, 7 out 16 grand kids were there. We had fun though. After we ate dinner we looked through the ads and found that Michael's was having a huge sale on their Cricket Cartridges and that is started at 5, and Old Navy had their jeans on sale for $10 for kids and 15 for adults. We ventured on down and between me, my mother in law, and Amber we bought 12 new cartridges, they are so fun and i cant wait to use them. Then I went to Old Navy and bought some jeans for my sister for her kids, since they weren't near an Old Navy. So all in all I think I did really good.

After that we went to visit my family and had some yummy pie and talked about our plan of attack for Friday morning.

Friday morning came and my mom and sister went to Target before it opened and waited in line. Me well I wanted some more sleep so I didn't meet them till 6. I also had a helper this year. Kaeling (my bro-in-laws great friend) went with me. She is from Canada and has never been shopping on BLACK FRIDAY. So I introduced her to the madness. All though I have to say it was pretty mild this year. I hope she had a great time and comes back to do it again with me.
We went to Walmart, Best Buy, Sears, the Mall, Shop-Ko, Target again then went to lunch at my favorite place, Cafe Rio. All this went on and my wonderful husband stayed home with Broc the whole time and didn't even call me to ask when I was coming home. In fact I called him and he said "you aren't supposed to be calling me remember!"
We had a great time, I got almost all of my shopping done, except for a few minor things.


Hope everyone had a great Turkey Day and was able to spend it with family or someone you love.
I am grateful for both of our families and for all they do for us, I am grateful for my two boys! They bring me so much happiness and I am so blessed to have them as part of my eternal family.
I am also grateful that I was able to taste the yummy food this year! The gravy, turkey everything was great! Much better than last years food. (Not that it wasn't good, just didn't really taste it at all)

I've Lost IT

Okay I have offically lost my mind!

I SIgNeD UP FoR a HALF MARATHON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My freind Amy has talked about doing this half marathon in St. George for a while now. Now I am doing it with her! Monday starts the ten week training. I hope I can keep up with her and the schedule. There are many reasons why I want to do this.
1. I don't think I can and I want to prove myself wrong
2. I always back out of things and I cant do it with this
3. I have battled Cancer and won and now I feel like I can do just about anything.

Thanks for encouraging me Amy. Cant wait to kick butt! I don't know what kind of time to try to beat, for right now I just want to finish, without fainting!!!!!

Oh yeah it is in St. George on Jan. 23 2010

More Halloween PIcs


I found some more pics from Halloween.



These are from his school party, he couldn't wear a mask so Kris painted his face. When he got home I tried to get the paint off thinking it would wipe off nicely, um NO I had to scrub the poor kids face!

My friend wanted to help me with my pitful hair so I went over to her house and this is the result. It looks so cute (at least my opinion) but I cant do it! I wonder if I went over to her house every morning if she would do it for me. Ummmmmmmmmm probably not, so when I am bored I will keep trying to see if I can do it in less then two hours! She also told me it works easier when my hair is a little dirty, meaning dont wash it every day. But I hate to not wash my hair, guess it is something I may just have to get used to.
Thanks Mauri your the best!

Pizza Man






Today Broc had a field trip to the Pizza Man. First they watched them make the dough, then they got to twist bread sticks, and make their own individual pizza to take home. It was kinda funny because the owner said "do any of you watch your mom make bread?" I think only one person raised their hand. I was thinking really mister I have attempted to make bread twice, once in a bread maker and once with my sister in law. Never by myself! I would rather buy it. Lazy I know!

Oh and to tell you what a terrible mother I am, apparently I missed the memo on the kids wearing their pre-school T-Shirts, because Broc wasn't wearing his, one other kid didn't wear theirs either but out of the 24 kids only two didn't wear theirs.

Happy Halloween











Megatron is what Broc was for Halloween this year. This week we went to three Halloween Parties. Tuesday we went to the church for the trunk or treat. However because it was so cold we just had it inside.
Thursday he had a party for school and got more candy, afterwards he had some of his friends come over to play.
Saturday morning Kris's mom had a Halloween party for all the grand kids. They had waffles with blood and worms, games and prizes. The kids had a great time, it was pretty crazy but a lot of fun. Thanks Grandma for a great time.
The past couple years we have taken Broc all over on Halloween to go trick or treating, this year we said no more and stayed in our own neighborhood and had a great time, all though we missed seeing all of our other friends we had a fun time hanging out trick or treating in our own neighborhood. He had a very full bag and we were only gone for about an hour and half.
We hope everyone had a great night filled with candy, and spookiness.
