Excited to watch the race
Jaron and Landon

For Christmas we surprised Austin with tickets to go with us to Vegas to watch the nascar race. It was his first time to experience it up close. He was so excited since he has been waiting to go for five years now. The first night there we took him to the tunnel where all the big rigs bring in the driver's cars. It really got him pumped up! The second day we took him out to the see the cars practicing out on the track. He thought that the cars where really loud. Sean and I told him that was nothing since there where actually only four cars out on the track at a time and he should wait when there all out there. Saturday we went and watched the Busch race and Sunday we got to experience the Nextel race. He was so thankful that we took him and is hoping to go again. Sean and I really enjoyed seeing how happy he was.

Valentine's Day

I had a WONDERFUL Valentine's Day. I woke up to Sean making me and the boys a big breakfast with eggs, hash browns, sausage, and mimosa's. It was so yummy! I also got two things of flowers because he had the flowers in the pink vase sent to me because he didn't think he was going to be home for Valentine's Day since he has been out of town for the past three weeks in France. It was great having him home for Valentine's because he has been out of town for the past two years for it. Okay so back to this wonderful day. After breakfast we had the boys open there gifts from us. We got the boys hats to wear when we go ice fishing they loved them. I surprised the four boys with green Jazz T-shirts and of course I needed a Jazz shirt too. We then went over to Kelly and Paige's house to watch to Daytona which took forever since they had to keep having cautions in regards to the track falling apart, but it was a great race. Jamie McMurray ended up winning and gave a very touching speech at the end of the race which made a few of us teary. After the race was over Sean and I went to the movie to see Valentine's Day and it was a very cute movie. Once we got home and got the boys all into bed Sean made me a bubble bath with candles, strawberries, champagne, whip cream and a dozen long stem roses. It was so nice and relaxing and was well over due. Sean really out did himself I guess he was trying to make up for the past two Valentines and he DID!!

End of Junior Jazz

Well we ended the Junior Jazz Basketball season. It was a great year all three of the boys had alot of playing time. It was great to see how when Jaron and Landon started the year out and how they improved so much by the time it was done. Landon was great at guarding his opponent. He was so great at defense that he had to learn when he was down at his end where he was suppose to shoot a basket that he didn't need to guard his guy. Jaron was great at shooting and having his hands up to let his guys on his team know that he was open and ready to shoot a basket. Austin spent alot of the season falling on the ground. It seemed like we had to keep yelling to him GET UP! He was great at fighting for the ball and keeping it out of bounds. We look forward to next year.

Having Sundae's

Look at those excited boys getting to enjoy all of that SUGAR!!

Austin invited two of his friends over to have pizza and make ice cream sundae's tonight. They where all excited when I set out all the toppings. They could not believe all the options. We had gummy worms, gummy bears, hot fudge. carmel, bananas, gum drops, cherry's, m&ms, reese pieces, and waffle bowls. It was a night full of sugar and silly boys

Landon doesn't look that excited or maybe he is already FULL!!

Jaron looks like he doesn't need anymore sugar. He looks all hyped UP!!

Eddie looks so innocent eating his ice cream

Austin what a big GOOF ball!!

Austin are you sure you can handle IT??

Saying good-bye

Mariah, Jerri, Paige, Shiree, and I went out for sushi to have a good bye dinner for Mariah since she is moving to Colorado. She has been living away from her husband Mike for months now. They have decided that the whole family should now move to Colorado so they can all be together. Me being selfish wants her to stay, but I can understand wanting to be where your husband is. I know that I would move to where Sean went so that I could be with him. I hope that they come back soon!!

Sean last fish of the day

We got up at 4:00am this morning to drive up to Strawberry Reservoir to go ice fishing. When we got up there it was still dark, but by the time we got out on the ice and the holes drilled we had some light. Just has it was starting to light up some more I got my first fish. The sun still had not started to come over the mountain and I was on my second fish. As the sun was starting to rise I got my third fish. Afternoon time I caught my fourth fish. Right before we where getting ready to leave I caught my fifth fish. It was an awesome day especially since I was the only girl fishing against three guys and I totally smoked the guys. Sean caught three fish which I am totally happy for him because he was getting so angry seeing me catch all the fish and he was getting nothing. Bobby caught three fish too and he was the one to catch the first fish of the day. Poor Kelly his only luck was getting a fish right at the top of the hole and then the fish got off the line. It was a beautiful day to ice fish. The sun was shinning all day and we had no wind. Picture's show that Girls know how to fish better then the guys.

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

We had a little get together for New Year's Eve. We invited a few friends over to have dinner and play some games. We actually only got thru one game, but we had alot of laughs playing boxers and briefs. At the thrill of midnight we shouted Happy New Year and did confetti poppers. Jason was so excited to make a BIG mess in my house, he even sang about it. When I woke up in the morning my wonderful son Austin had picked up ALL the confetti and placed it in a pile for me. All in all we had a wonderful New Year with our friends, food, music, and games.
