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!
Happy Case lot shopping.  Also my favorite blog (besides all of yours ) is myfoodstoragedeals.blogspot.com

SLC again...

It seems like we have been going to SLC every other weekend this last little bit.  So staying true to our form, we were again down there this last weekend.  Josh wanted to go see "Throwdown Showdown"  or "Showdown in the Throwdown" or whatever it is called.  He had a couple of friends that were fighting at the Energy Solutions Arena so he wanted to go watch them.  So we headed off for another quick weekend.  The fun thing for me was that Heather and Tina met me in Salt Lake and we went to lunch and did a little shopping on Saturday.  It was so fun.  It reminded of the good ole' times from HS and college.   Josh took the girls to the RV show at the Expo center while Heather, Tina and I went to Pei Wei and then to Tai Pan.  Ahhh memories!

Josh did the last post on our blog which is why there was only pictures.  However I did want to point out the beautiful picture of our fish tank.  This lovely tank is the center of our, I mean his, universe right now.  He lives, breathes, eats and drinks for that fish tank.  He was finally able to get some cool fish in and has spent many, emphasize many, hours (and dollars) getting everything set up and situated.  He keeps telling me that as soon as it gets up and running that he won't be going to the pet store every day, but I've been hearing that for a couple of months now.  

As you can see it now has sand in it.  Mind you, it started out with rocks.  So we had to drain the tank down to 2 feet of water instead of 4 and then hire our 8 year old neighbor boy to climb down into the tank, and hand the rocks out one at a time.  All the while he keeps screaming, thinking that either the crab or the eels are rubbing against his legs.  I wish I would have taken pictures.  It was quite the ordeal. 3 hours later, the rocks were out and we were on our way to a sandy bottom.  Long story short, the fish tank takes up a lot of his time (and money).  If I would have known fish could be such a pain in the butt, I would have just let the kids get a dog, which by the way is probably never going to happen!

This is just a quick shot of our little cuties!
