Hunter Boxing

Here is the video of Hunter boxing on the Wii! He was "boxing" chandler's friend and he gets knocked out and then his guy gets back up so they start again...but before too long he goes to his dad for help 'cause his arms get too tired! It was so funny! I love the way his feet were moving as fast as his hands!

HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY TO JOEL!!!!!!

So I am a terrible sister(in-law) and I'm wishing my FAVORITE brother-in-law a Happy Birthday a day late! Actually, technically it's two days late to him....oh man... Well anyway, Joel I love you, I thought about you all day and I'm sorry I didn't take time to wish you Happy Birthday on your birthday, but please don't think it went unnoticed! My whole family misses you and Teesha so much and when you guys come back to the US we're gonna have a birthday party for you (and Teesha) okay? I hope you had a great day and did lots of surfing! Love you!

No Pictures right now but....

I should probably give a much needed update anyway!
So Christmas was good for us. We had so much fun with the boys even though the morning started a little "early". Chandler is quietly "yelling" down from the upstairs "Mom, Dad it's time to open presents". So Bryant looks at his watch and says "It's 5:45 we better get up". I'm thinking okay, 5:45 isn't too bad... So we get up turn on all the Christmas lights (we left Hunter sleeping) and told the boys to come down. As they are looking at what Santa brought them I go in the kitchen for a drink and glance at the clock that now says 3:50 A.M. I almost killed Bryant for his watch reading skills, but we were all already awake so there was no turning back.
New Years was pretty uneventful for us, unless you consider each of us taking turns throwing up an event! We had a pretty bad case of the stomach flu go through our house starting with Chandler & Bryant on New Years Eve day, then Kayden the next day and me the following TWO days...luckily Hunter never got it.
On the 11th (of January) Kayden turned 8! We had a party at our house and invited a bunch of his friends. We had a "Wii Tournament of Champions" competition. The kids had a ball and it was pretty fun to watch. I have a really funny video of Hunter boxing that I'll have to try and figure out how to post!
On the 19th Kayden was baptized! We were so proud of him and it was such a wonderful day! We had a lot of family come and we were so grateful for the support! He really is a great kid and it was a very special day! Hunter keeps asking me when it's his turn to get baptized. Even a 4-year-old could feel the Spirit there that day. Awesome!
Our lives otherwise are pretty much the same! Bryant works all the time, I type all the time and the boys are enjoying Nash (our puppy) and playing the Wii. I have to admit that Bryant and I have even played with them several times and had a great time! I really like Guitar Hero III, but we all have SOOO much fun playing the Carnival games.
Sorry Teesha that I don't have any pictures right now. I have been a total slacker lately taking pictures! I promise I will start taking lots and post them for you!

An Early Christmas Present

This weekend we went to Kingman to visit with Bryant's family and exchange Christmas gifts with them. While there we saw some Shih-Tzu puppies that were for sale and ended up buying one for our boys for Christmas. We were going to wait until Christmas morning to give it to them, but decided it would be too difficult to travel with it (my brother-in-law followed us home so the puppy would have ridden with him) and not have our kids see it, so we gave it to them yesterday before we left. They were so excited and they love him to death. He also loves them and follows them everywhere. Last night was his first night with us and he did SO good. He really is a great dog. I didn't want a dog and Bryant wanted a big dog, so this was our compromise! haha.

Now we just need a name for him. We can't all decide on one name that we all like...hmmmm...maybe I'll see if I can start a poll on here and you all can help me decide!!! Merry Christmas everyone! We love you all.

My Christmas Present!

This year as party of the Black Friday deals Bryant and I found a new 9' Christmas tree. I was so excited to get a tree that actually looks like it fits in our living room! Well, my mom told me after I bought it not to decorate it, that that was what she was going to give me for Christmas was, all new decorations and come decorate it for me! So she came this weekend and the tree is now done! Here are some pictures of the finished project! She did an incredible job! This one is at night with the lights on.
This one is during the day with the lights off.
It is so beautiful I don't want to take it down after Christmas! I will definitely be waiting until after New Year's to take down my decorations! Let me know what you think!

Scholar Athlete Banquet

Okay so this is my THIRD post in a week...somebody stop me!!! haha...but seriously this is a record for me!
A few days ago the Chandler Youth Football League had their Scholar Athlete Banquet. This was a banquet to honor all the football players who maintained at least a "B" average in school last year. I am proud to say that both Chandler and Kayden were able to attend. It was held at the Ocotillo Golf Clubhouse and they served brunch (well, really just danishes, bagels and OJ, but they called it brunch). Anyway, after everyone ate they acknowledged each of the kids individually and gave them a "CYF" plin. They also had a few speakers come and one of them was Eric Swan who used to play for the Arizona Cardinals. Now, I'm not much of a Cardinal's follower but I guess he played for them for almost 10 years and is trying to make a comeback. The kids were all excited to get to meet him. The banquet was a lot of fun and I am so proud of both of my boys! Here is a picture of the boys with Eric Swan.
