Boxing!

This is Josh and Jason boxing when they were younger.  Don't they look so cute?  I guess Josh never grew out of this desire.  He is doing another Cage Fight on Thursday.  I told him I'm cool with it as long as he doesn't get punched.  He said that getting punched usually comes with the territory when you are in the cage and I am not a fan of watching him get punched.  Hmmmm, I guess I just hope this is his last one.  Afterall, he is nearing old man age :)

Good Luck Josh!  P.S. Don't get punched.

Pictures!

So here are the pictures to go along with my last post.  I slaved over that cake forever.  Unfortunately, the picture I got it from looked a lot better.

This is the ultimate movie party.  We don't have any couches upstairs yet so I just pulled every pillow and blanket onto the floor and everyone just laid around.  They actually had a really good time.  Every once in while you would hear a boy yell, "Quiet girls, I can' t hear!"  
This is Teag doing acrobat tricks for the party.  Why waste money on a clown when you can use your children for entertainment?
This is just a funny picture of the girls trying to box.  If I ever learn how to use my scanner I'll have to put a picture of Josh boxing with his twin brother when they were little.  It is so adorable.  Clearly, the girls do not know what they are doing.  They were doing more giggling than boxing.
Just a random picture of Teag.  It looks like he cares for laundry just as much as his mother!

Kenady's Birthday and more

Kenady turned 6 on the 20th.  I can't believe I have a 6 year old.  She is such a beautiful little girl and she has a such a sweet spirit.  She is loving kindergarten and doing awesome.  Her teacher told me that she is already reading on a 1st grade level.  We, of course, were so proud of her.  She always tries to be nice to everyone, which if you know the politics of kindergarten, isn't always easy.  She is a great big sister and a great helper to me.  We love her so much!

For her birthday we had cake and ice cream with some family and friends.  After cake and ice cream, the idea was that she would have 6 or 7 girls that were her age that would stay after and watch "Thumbelina"  the new Barbie movie that she got for her birthday.  6 or 7 girls turned into 17 or 18 kids of all ages (and genders) that wanted to stay and watch.  I was surprised at how well they all watched it and paid attention.  I think some of the boys may have been into it a little more than some of the girls.  It was pretty funny.  It was an easy way to do a "birthday party."  No games, no treat bags, no pinatas, just eat cake and ice cream, watch the movie and go home.  Perfect!

It was a fun night and I hope she had a great birthday.  I wasn't able to upload any pictures today for some reason.  (Maybe because it is a white-out blizzard in Rock Springs right now)  But I will post the pictures for this event as soon as I can.  

She speaks!

This video is for everyone who thinks that Presley never talks.  She is not only talking, she is performing.  And she is doing such a beautiful job. She is singing "Once Upon A Dream" from Sleeping Beauty.   Teag seems to think it sounds lovely.  (I hope this video works.) By the way, she got that headband at playgroup and it is a hot commodity at our house.  It says, "Kiss me, I'm Irish."  

Case Lot Sale Bonanza!

Recently Josh and I have been trying to focus on our food storage a little more.  We had a little bit of food in our storage room and are trying to get a lot.  So Macey's had a case lot sale that started last weekend.  So me and my good friend Julie headed down, (with a trailer) and loaded up.  I even got the 55 gallon water barrels so that we can get our 2 week supply of water.  It was  lot of fun.  It was a good way to spend a lot of money and not feel guilty about it.  This is a picture after we got it organized.  I was so pumped.  I know this is just a start but at least I know we've got something in case of emergencies.

This is just a cute picture of our little Teag.  (And his adorable pokey ear.)
Our two beautiful girls!
