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.

Busy October!!

Well with so much going on, i have not posted anything in a while and thought i should. So we took Mason and McKenna to a corn maze and they loved it. we of course went through the non haunted side (especially for me, i am such a scarredy cat). Mason saw other people jumping into the corn to scare their friends coming, so Scott took him to scare me and of course i pretended to be scared and he was very excited. It was really pitched dark and the only light we had was the full moon that night. Mason was so brave and walked in front by himself!





Later in the month we went to Wheeler Farm to do the traditional pick a pumpkin, go on a tractor pulled wagon ride and see the farm animals. McKenna enjoyed being surrounded by pumpkins. Mason had fun picking his pumpkin, but there were a lot to choose from so i helped him a little.





Finally, halloween came. Mason had been watching the Little Einsteins halloween episode to learn how to trick or treat and what to say when you get to the door. They sing "We are here to trick or treat, have a happy halloween". But when we got to the door he just lifted his candy bucket and said treat. It was funny and cute. Mason was a pirate and McKenna was a mermaid. McKenna just watched her brother with no complaints waiting for her turn next year!



It has been a busy month, but i love those busy months. It makes the holidays get here faster!

He was a great man!

On Wednesday August 20, 2008; Scott's dad passed away at his home. He was a great father and grandpa. He loved to fish, to do puzzles, watch MASH and other great movies, he loved being with his family and playing games. He was a funny and witty man. His laugh made me laugh even when his jokes didn't. He will be missed! The family is doing as well as can be expected. He is survived by his three children; Scott, Kristy, and Amber and 6 grandchildren; Brayden, Zander, Mason, Tyker, McKenna, and Remmington. The funeral is this friday August 29, 2008 at 11 am in Salt Lake City, UT. Instead of calling us with your regards and sentiments. Please post them instead. As he would always say when we were leaving "Toodles!"

Happy Anniversary!

A driving we will go!

Anytime that Mason gets the chance, he wants to drive the car like mommy and daddy. He sits down and puts his seat belt on and pushes a few buttons on the dash board turns the rear view mirror a little and then pretends he's driving with the steering wheel. It is a scream fest when we try to get him out and put him into his car seat. So we let him pretend while we are cleaning the car, but still let him know that it is very dangerous when we are not around.

Happy 4th of July

This year we tried something different. We usually go to Sugar House Park and watch the fireworks then wait in the traffic to get home. This year we went to my good friend Merideth's parents house and had a barb b q and did some of our own little fireworks. The kids all had fun. We gave them sparklers and let them run around with them. The kids were so new to the fire sticks that they had in thier hands that they just stood there looking at it. From Merideth's parents house you can see the stadium of fire fireworks, thanksgiving point fireworks, and other small parks fireworks. McKayla and Lexi sat on Scott's shoulders so that they could get a better look. It was a really fun and relaxing 4th. Thank you Briles Family!

Mom! I am trying to read!!

McKenna looked so peaceful looking at her book that i had to take this picture.
