she is Here!

Her name is Maggie. We had a hard time coming up with a name and Mason shouts "Maggie". We had to call our friend Maggie to make sure it was ok that our dog would have the same name. She of course was ok with it. I know i need to take more photos but here is one of her sleeping with Mason. she is such a good puppy. As well as to be expected. Scott already has her fetching and learning hunting words so that she can go duck hunting with him in the summer/fall. Christmas was great. We got a Wii Fit Plus and that is so much fun. If you do not have one i suggest you get one. Very entertaining to watch Scott play some of the games. Mason can even play some of the games if we cheat and push on the board for him. Well that is all i have for now.

Santa is real after all....

Santa decided this year to bring Mason and McKenna a dog for Christmas. Mason has been asking for a turtle, but Santa believes (and knows best) that Mason would love a dog. He has been carrying this little stuffed dog toy everywhere. So it will be interesting to see how they do when they see her. Here is the photo. One of these yellow dogs belong to us. Hopefully she is not a Marley.

Happy Halloween!

Mason finally understood the concept of Halloween this year. He went up and rang the doorbell said trick or treat got his candy and ran to the next door. McKenna followed suit. She even said Trick or treat and thank you. This year we dressed them up as Woody and Jessie. McKenna really wanted to be Woody, but i told her no and let go as Jessie, letting her think she was Woody. I hand made the costumes this year. because my sewing machine was in storage, i had glued the pieces together. During our ward's trunk or treat Mason's vest started to fall apart and i had to safety pin it together. i finally borrowed a friend's sewing machine and stitched up Mason's vest. they had a great time and it was fun!

A fishing we will go.

My kids love to fish. Mason has started learning to reel in his fishing pole. its so fun to watch him be like his Daddy. He says " Mommy, am I going fishing with my daddy". Sometimes its a yes and the rest of the time its too cold. McKenna gets excited too, to be near the water. Scott recently took Mason duck hunting and i almost died. I was really scarred something would happen to him. I am definately not a fan of hunting or having guns around my little ones, but i let Scott take him out. I would always tell Mason that his daddy was shooting targets. so Mason went and loved it. He came home and said " Mommy, my daddy took the gun and bang bang and got the bird duck and then it was in the river."

My Little Creative Monster

Mason comes running into our room one night saying "Mommy, Mommy, come look at what i made." I think to my self "a mess". I follow him into the family room and see all the VHS movie containers everywhere and beside it VHS cassesstes laid out. Mason says " See my robot i made." Yes, Mason i see your robot, very good. Such a creative little boy!

Fun Summer

Well i have not posted in a while, but we have had a great summer and its still going. We went camping sometime this year and it was great. We were at Quail Creek and the campsite is by the lake without any mosquitos! (my kind of camping). We bought the kids little rafts at the dollar store and let them swim in the lake. They had a great time and enjoyed their camping trip. Will post more pictures soon!

Funny Commercials!

So you have to check out my lawfirm's funny commercials. We have three. They are not the ones with the guy holding a big check saying guess how much money i can get you. They are ones like the commercials you see during the superbowl. Yes, i believe they are that funny. Anyway, you should check them out at www.utahadvocates.com under the news section for commericals. Or on the home page under latest news for commercials.

Happy Easter!!

Well i finally have a chance to blog some. Easter was fun this year! Mason understood that the Easter bunny was coming to visit him and bring him a surprise. He had fun coloring eggs and writing on them with the white crayon. McKenna suprising wanted to color eggs and draw on them too, so she could be like big brother. We hid the eggs (some out in the open for McKenna and hidden for Mason) and they went and found all 18 eggs. It was a great holiday.

I am such a horrible blogger.

With so much going on all the time, i just can't find the time to blog. I thought well now that all the kids are asleep and it is just me sitting here, why not.
McKenna - is getting bigger. can you believe she is almost one. It seems to me only yesterday she was born and could not do much. Now she is crawling all over the place and getting into things. Her hair is even long enough for me to give her pig tails! She loves Mason. Everytime they get into the car, they both look over to each other's chair to make sure the other is sitting there. too sweet.
Mason - He is still my little stinker butt. He is very smart and loves to read his books and play with his animals and dinosaurs. We took him to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point and he loved it until his daddy told him they were going to eat him. Thanks Dad! He will be 3 this summer.
Scott - his law firm is doing good. Slowly but surely! He is also trying out for the FBI one more time. If he makes it then he will be a special agent, if not after the second time around thats it. no more trying out. and he loses his chance of being a special agent forever. So wish him good luck!
Rebecca - as for me, i am still working full time and enjoying my kids. i don't do much, but i have girls night out every tuesday night and i play volleyball at a singles ward (because we all know i need the exercise) and that is about it. I try to keep in touch with everyone the best that i can, so if i missed you, summer is coming and i have a lot of plans.

Well i hope this has kept some posted of whats been going on. Pictures are to come soon! I promise.
