Merry Christmas to MEEEE!!

WOW, what an unbelievable Christmas this was. Eric surprised me and bought me a 2008 Mercedes ML320!!! It's beautiful and it's amazing to drive!! Its silver on the outside and ALL black on the inside. Here is a picture of it......

I, of course, could not top that gift to him so I got him a electric shaver and many little gifts.

The kids also had a great Christmas, the kids all got what they wanted from Santa and of course mom and dad. I am so GLAD its all over. :)

May all your blessings and dreams come true in 2009!!

Happy 1st Birthday Britin!!

Our California Adventure..............

Happy Thanksgiving to ALL............ We celebrated Thanksgiving at my parents house in California. WOW, what fun the drive to Cali was, for all of you who know how I HATE to drive such a long distance. My sister and I shopped on Black Friday, GOSH how I love to get up early and try and find the best deals!! The we headed off to Legoland, if you have never been to Legoland mostly everything is made out of lego's. They even had The Excalibur, where Eric and I got married, made out of Lego's.

AMAZING .....................

On Saturday we were SeaWorld bound, a trip is Cali must have SeaWorld in it or its just NO fun! Me and the girls LOVED this place. So many animals to see and never enough time to see them. The Shume show was SO AMAZING! and YES the kids got SOAKED Enjoy the Pictures..............

After Seaworld came to an end..............we had to go to the Beach! WOW the kids went crazy and loved every moment at La Jolla Cove...........

The END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GoodBYE LANDesk..............

Well after almost 5 years at LANDesk, it is time to say goodbye. I will miss all the wonderful people and all the friendships that I've made and will continue them. I have taken another job at MonaVie in South Jordan as a Payroll Administrator and I am very excited about this new adventure. My 1st day was Dec 15th and I didn't get much sleep as I was so excited and nervous!! My 1st 2 weeks have been amazing, this company is awesome and the benefits are to die for!!

What a SWEET ride...............

On Sat Nov 15, 2008- Eric and Jonathan's dream came true driving Murcielago Lamborghini. His friend Todd turned 40 years old and for one of his many gifts from his family was a Lamborghini for 2 days. Well it just so happened that Eric and Jonathan went to his house and Todd was more than generous and let Eric take the Lambo for a few hours, YES A FEW HOURS!!!This car was SO SWEET and how lucky was Eric to be able to drive this BAD BOY? I say, very lucky!! Here are some pictures of the boys playin'.

GOODBYE Freshman Football

We had Jonathan's football banquet on Saturday night at the Roney's house. WOW talk about a beautiful place. Well, this will be coach Jones last year after 20+ years of coaching football. Needless to say he was very very emotional and it was very humbling............. We celebrated with some awesome meat that the Roney's cooked up. We had so much food and it looked so YUMMY!!! We received an awesome CD of the season and WOW, it was a blast to watch..........I will post it soon. Jonathan also received a AWESOME homemade Timpview blanket for selling the most discount cards! THANK YOU for all that bought- I LOVE THE BLANKET---- Here is a picture of Jonathan and his best friend Kaimana!!

The Backyard Master plan................

Eric had a vision of a 2 level pond with a water fall in our backyard and I must say I thought he was cRaZy!! Well the pond is done and I now see the vision he was talking about. YES, it took me until it was done to see it! Eric always amazes me on the things he creates and masterminds........You did a GREAT job, honey! We have many flowers planted that will bloom this fall so I will update my bog with more pictures of the pond then...............

Pretzel Kit- a Fun Saturday morning activity

This was a ton of fun having the girls and I make Cinnamon pretzels together. They have had so much interest cooking and baking with me in the kitchen- I am really enjoying it.

Happy 18th Birthday Justin!!!

WOW, 18 years old! I remember when I was 18, its seems like yesterday! Justin turned 18 on October 29th and he celebrated with family and friends!! We surprised him with his favorite Mint chocolate chip ice cream cake and balloons and much confetti-Once you turn 18, well you really don't want your parents to throw you a "birthday party" that is just not cool!!

I hope all your dreams come true Justin!

WE LOVE YOU and we are so proud of you!!

My Father.................My Hero!!!

For those of you who do not know, my dad has been fighting colon cancer and needless to say, the colon cancer is ahead in this fight! He went in for surgery this morning to remove some cancer from his pelvis and to remove cancer from his liver. This is a long surgery, as he has been in for many hours now. He will be in ICU for about 5 days after the surgery is complete. I fly out on Wednesday night to be with him and I will return on Sunday morning. Please, Please keep him in your prayers. I love him with all my heart!!

My Favorite little man!!!

WOW, isn't he just the cutest grandbaby ever? he is such a ham and he is walking already! Where has the time gone? He takes many steps and "down he goes". We love it when he comes over to play. Britin is all over the place and he loves the DOG to death.

Jonathan's Fancy footwork!

OK, this video is so funny- Jonathan receives the ball, runs through the hole, breaks through, runs for a TD and succeeds!! Whoo Hoo- I start jumping up and down with my camera, still video tapping it! So, needless to say maybe I should not be the one holding the camera!! What's a mom to do..........I get so excited when I watch him play!

TIMPVIEW VS PAYSON!!

WOW, what a game...........33 to 14(i think) I was very happy the weather held out for the game! Boy O' Boy was it cold though. This was the last game of the season-WHY DOES IT GO SO FAST?!! We are in the play-off's YIPPI! So I will be able to blog some more of Jonathan's games. I also took a picture of my parents at the game.........................Don't they look so excited?

We also got a really BIG fish tank this past weekend, I have included some pictures of the very large Algae eater, this thing is HUGE!!

WET and Wild Game!!!

THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT, TIMPVIEW!! We played against Lone Peak this Saturday, WOW what an AWESOME game!! The 1st half Jonathan played corner on defense- he had 2 interceptions and 1 TD. He then played 3rd qrtr RB and still played on defense as corner. WOW, what a nail biter this game was. I would have taken pictures but it was raining- The final score was 18 to 14, GO T-BIRDS!!

What a way to spend my saturday watching my son play the game he loves to play.....................

WHOO HOO~ HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!

WOW, how time flys and how people grow!! Saturday Sept 20th is our Anniversary, our 10 year anniversary. We started to celebrate our anniversary on Friday night and we stayed at the Hines Mansion in Provo. What a beautiful place this is, we stayed in the "penthouse" and yes it was well deserved!! We went to dinner at the Chef's table in Provo. We had some darn YUMMY food. This place rocks and I recommend it to everyone. My mom and dad watched the kids overnight and I must say how I loved the hugs and kisses and the I missed you so much, when we returned. That was so wonderful to hear!! I must say how glad I am we made it thus far, honey!! I look forward to many more years by each others side. You are my best friend!!

Happy Anniversary to US!!

27 to 15 **GO TIMPVIEW**!!!

Is there any other way to spend your birthday but to play against your rival and get the 1st TD of the game?? NO WAY, I SAY!! This game was AWESOME, Jonathan you were AWESOME! The team was AWESOME! GO- T-BIRDS!! (Jonathan is running the ball and does a spin, not sure how to highlight him in the video but I will learn)

Jonathan is my favorite #5- His number one position is running back on offense and then he plays on a special team on defense.

HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY JONATHAN!!!

I just cant believe my son is 15 years old!! He turned 15 on Saturday September 13th and was born @ 8:33am. WOW, what an awesome young man he is turning into. I am so proud of him and all of his strengths and determinations. He has not missed a day of school in 3 years, he has a 3.8 GPA and he has a
heart of gold in Football and track. What a lucky mom I am to
have so many wonderful kids.
We took him out on Friday and took him to his favorite place to eat, Tucano's- This boy can eat. He loves this place. They sang happy birthday and received some yummy dessert.
Can't end the evening without taking a picture with a proud Grampa!!

Thanks for Visiting Uncle Johnny and Aunt Virginia

Oh so fun! My Aunt Virginia and Uncle Johnny(my mom's brother) came to visit us on there way back to California. They have been traveling all over the united states and having so much fun and seeing so many things. How lucky they are to be able to do so much traveling. They came in on Wednesday Sept 10th and left Friday Sept 12th. Thursday night we had so much fun catching up and showing pictures and eating pizza, salad and ice cream.

It was allot of fun having them visit us. My cousin Jeff and my Aunt Gail also stopped in for a few minutes on there way back to Norther California too. They only stayed about an hour but that was plenty of time to give lots of Hugs and catch up too.

Can't wait to see the family again soon!!

4th of July Weekend- A weekend to Remember

Well, this was the scariest weekend of my LIFE! We started off the weekend by going boating @ Utah lake- We had a blast!
Then we took the kids camping at 5 mile pass. We went riding and we had a good time up until Sunday. Eric and Jasmine were riding and the bike flipped, hurting Jasmine really bad. She needed to be life flighted to Primary Childrens hospital. She had a broken rib, concussion, she had surgery on her arm where the handle bars went into her arm, and she needed some dental work done. Jasmine was in PICU unit for 24 hours and then was released to the trauma unit. She was so strong and brave. She was finally released on Thursday evening. I wanted to Thank everyone who helped out with meals, gifts and all the wonderful prayers. She is home and doing well.

Thursday- GOODBYE TO ALL- She was very excited to go home

Hangin out on the couch- the road to recovery!!
