Go Cougars!!!!!

Graham is probably one of the biggest fan of BYU football. Every game day my kids are in these outfits. No matter where I go, if it is the BYU game that day I better have had my kids in these outfits!! Good thing they won on Saturday! Go Cougars!!!


Thanksgiving

I was so lazy on thanksgiving day that I did not take hardly any pictures of anybody. I at least got three, one of Maddi and two of Mckay! There is one thing about McKay that everybody should know is that you don't come between him and his food!!
McKay loved thanksgiving food that he was literally licking his plate.




McKay's turn in the spot light

I feel like I always take so many pictures of Maddi and hardly any of McKay so today was McKay's turn in the spotlight!! How Cute!!
Always smiling!!

Guitar Hero

Maddi found this Binni that she wore when she was 12 months old and decided she wanted to wear it again. I think she wanted to be like her daddy. She loves playing guitar hero with Graham and I. She does pretty well. That's right we only teach our daughter what is important in life and that is to be good at video games! I think she is getting a good head start!!

I have been Tagged by Trista

I was tagged by Trista, I guess I am supposed to write down seven things about myself that no one knows about me, but I think I will just do six instead!! Sorry for those that already know this about me. Hope it is not boring!

1. I am a very, very superstitious person. I hate odd numbers, years, anything in odd. If I had five kids for some reason I would have to make it six. It would just drive me nuts. I always have to knock on wood, kiss the roof of my car when I go through Yellow or Red lights and make a wish, If I wear something and I had a bad day or experience, I will never wear that shirt or pants or shoes again, depending on what it is.

2. I have to make my bed every morning before I leave the house. Even if I am running late I will make the bed. It is physically impossible for me to leave the house with out the bed made. I think it is called OCD. According to my husband anyway. I have to have the kitchen cleaned and the living room tidy before I go to bed each night, if I don't I cant fall asleep. Does it sound like I need help. If I lose something it will drive me nuts until I find it. I wont leave the place that I lost something until I find it. On Sunday I was looking for McKay's other sock and I could not find it. My husband suggested that we put on some of his other socks but I couldn't do it. I made him look with me for about 45 mins until we found it. Needless to say we did miss sacrament. Yeah I do need help! Yikes!!

3. I am really competitive. It doesn't matter what game we are playing or with who I will try my hardest to win at that game. My niece at the time was 12 years old and I had just taught her how to play California speed. Being her first time playing you would think I would let her win until she got the hang of it, nope I had to win.

4. I love giving talks in church or teaching a lesson. I love going to Sunday school and relief society ( I didn't use to but all of sudden I just love it) I loved giving presentations in college. I love running events. One year when I was coaching drill team I had to host region competition at the school and I loved every minute of it.

5. I love cooking and baking. That was evident when I was pregnant with McKay. I would bake every night of my pregnancy and boy did it show. I love it so much that one day I hopefully can go to culinary school and get a degree in cooking.

6. I am obsessed with picking or wiping my kids noses and ears. My husband once said that our kids could be bleeding from head to toe and if there is something in there ear or nose I will pick it before I tend to their needs.

People I am tagging Becky, Deanne, Nicole( I know you have been tagged by tons of people, just tell Dave what you want to say and he can write it in for you!!) Stephanie, Carolina, Jen, Kerri, Molly, Suzi, Tiffany, and Aimee.

Potty Training in a Swim Suit

One morning Maddi woke up and decided she didn't want to wear any more diapers. I was excited! So I told her she had to wear some underwear and have to go potty on the toilet, well she didn't want to wear any underwear either. Instead she wanted to wear her swim suit. Which was fine with me I didn't care as long as she was willing to try it. She actually did really well. She had no mistakes until that evening, that is when she decided she wanted to wear diapers again. Now I cant even get her to try it anymore. Anyone have any suggestions?

BBQ with friends

Tonight we went over to our friends home for a BBQ. It is so fun to get together and hang out and let our kids play. We first took this picture standing up and then we all decided it would probably be better to take it sitting down instead. That way we can hide some of our baby weight! Thanks to Lindsey's husband Cory who had to take this picture over and over again. It looks all peaceful in this picture, but while taking it we had crying and screaming kids, good thing our husbands dealt with them!!
This is one of my favorite pictures. As you can see all the husbands have the babies while they watch some basketball game on T.V. Just as it should be. I don't see why the wives always have to have the kids!!!!

There were a lot of kids at the BBQ tonight. These where the only ones I could get to pose for a picture, besides the babies of course! Kate Holland, Nikki Nydegger, and Maddi!! I love Kate's expression in this picture!!


Maddi and Kate. You can't tell by this picture but Maddi really loves playing with Kate. They actually play really well together. Anytime we are going somewhere and we are going to see Kate, we can get Maddi to do anything we want.



Maddi and Kate are looking at the fire while making smores. Maddi has a look of disgust on her face because I told her fires are yucky! I was hoping she would stay away from the fire

Maddi's Breathing

Last Friday I took Maddi to the doctors because she had been coughing really hard. Well the doctors thought that she might have Asthma. So we have to do this breathing thing three times a day for about eight minutes! Every time she is done she looks and me and says" mommy I did it I need chocolate" Your telling me Maddi I would need chocolate after that too.
She is such a sport about doing this. You cant see in this picture but she is smiling for the picture! What a trooper.

Letting Mommy Nap

This little cutie does not like to sleep at nights! So I get to be up with him all through the night! Let me tell you what a party it is! The sweet thing about McKay is that during the day he will let me nap. Everytime I put Maddi down for a nap I will put McKay on a pillow next to me and he will just lay there and suck his thumb while I sleep, even if he just woke up from a nap he will still lay there while I nap! I guess it is a trade off.

New Background

So, it took me forever to find a new background, I probably spent about a good hour finding one. When I did pick a new back ground I didn't realize it would erase everything on the side so then I spent another two hours re-doing everything, anyway here it is! I do have to thank Tiffany for helping me find a new background. Thank you so much Tiff!!

Lunch with friends

Today I went to lunch with three of my very good friends. It is always fun and hectic when kids are involved but we had a blast. You cant tell by this picture but while taking this picture Maddi, Stockton and Cooper all ran off!
