BYU vs. BSU

So my sweet friend Chanell called today and wondered if we wanted tickets to the BYU/Boise State basketball game tonight. Heck ya!!! Mark was so excited. Her dad is the coach for BYU so they had a bunch of extra tickets. It didn't start until 7:00 p.m., so we made Rex take a late nap and got Sam to take a little cat nap at 6:00 and then hauled them off to the game. Luckily we found a BYU shirt for Rex and Sam wore his blue jammies. Rex was so excited and was even more excited when he saw Annie on the front row, lucky girl!! We went down and said a quick hi and they hugged before they could kick us out of the VIP area! Unfortunately BYU lost, Mark was not happy, but we still had a great time. I was surprised how many BYU fans were there, great turn out Cougars! I forgot my camera of course but thank goodness for camera phones. Here are a couple of shots, grainy but you get the idea.



THANKS CHANELL WE HAD A REALLY GREAT TIME!!!!!

Christmas Vacation

We survived our Christmas Vacation and even managed to have a lot of fun! The boys and I left Christmas Eve morning to go to my mom's house and Mark met us there that night since he had to work. Right when we got there, we saw Jessica and Jason and the twins before they left town. Yea, we finally got to see the twins, sleeping but so cute! Ben and Jessica and Jack were there and we had a great time reacquainting the cousins and Ben and I had a great time bantering and bugging each other!
Rex was so into Christmas and Santa Claus (we tried to emphasize Jesus, but of course Santa was all he cared about). So he wouldn't eat his dinner that night so Mark used the you better eat your dinner or I am calling Santa and telling him not to come line. Well, right after that, someone called. So Mark says, "It must be Santa". Rex got this terrified look on his face and said, "No, Daddy, NO! Don't answer the phone!" We were all busting up laughing at this point. So Mark answers the phone and Rex looks like he is about to cry. We had to convince him that it was not Santa. After that, he ate his dinner!!
We had a great Christmas morning, with too many presents and so much noise I think we permanently scarred my poor Grandpa! The kids were way too spoiled but love their new toys. I am busy trying to organize to make room for the new loot. It was great to see many of my cousins and their kids and to enjoy all the time spent with family. I love this time of year! And I got my favorite treat, my mom's English Toffee!! YUMMY!

P.S. I know the video of Sam is not in my last post, I will fix it soon. My laptop's hard drive fried while I was trying to do it. :((

Cute videos

I took some video of the boys today being so adorable.
Sam has learned to play with one of his toys. If you put a ball in the hole, the toy makes music. So Mark taught him how to do it, and he was so excited and proud of himself I had to video it. He literally did it all day! Such a cutie!


I have been wanting to get a video of Rex singing a church song because he has quite the collection that he can sing but so far whenever I try to get him to do it he won't. Well today was my lucky day! He did it! What a good little singer.

Thank you Shayna!

Thanks Shayna for commenting on my last post and linking me to that great website. I actually did use an idea on there for my lesson. I had been thinking about the "Special Witnesses" movie of the apostles sharing their testimony or Christ. So first I quoted Joseph Smith (since it is his birthday), his quote about the apostles and prophets and their testimonies of Christ being fundamental to the gospel. Then we watched about 1/2 hour of the video. And then I made "stockings" for Jesus and little gift boxes with the testimonies of the apostles in them. They turned out really cute and the girls promised that they would hang up Jesus stocking and write their testimonies and put in inside. So thanks Shayna, it turned out great. And all the rest of you slackers that didn't respond, you're lame! Just kidding, I know everyone is busy!!!! :)

I need some help!

I know everyone is probably busy right now with the holidays fast approaching but I need some help. I have to teach my Beehive class this Sunday because my advisor is out of town. Well we are supposed to teach a Christmas lesson but there is no official Christmas lesson so we need to come up with one on our own. I was thinking of using a General Conference address on the Savior and also incorporating Joseph Smith in there since Sunday is his birthday, but I am wondering if anyone has any good ideas for me? Any one know a great Christmas lesson that would be applicable to 12-13 year old girls? Email me if you do.

Christmas treats

This is our first Christmas living in our house and in a neighborhood. How exciting it is to be able to make our neighbors Christmas treats and to receive so many treats in return! I made a popcorn, chocolate mix tonight and made some cute paper holders to put them in. So for family night we took them to about 20 neighbors. Rex absolutely loved it! He had to ring the doorbell, hold the treat and then say "Merry Christmas" when they answered the door. I love sharing this time of year with him the older he gets. He appreciates all the traditions and gets so excited about everything. The funny thing is 4 of our neighbors had the same Family night activity plan as we did. So not only did we go share our treats, we had 4 families come to our door as well! So fun! I love our neighborhood! Here's a few of our treats.

While I was working on the treats, I heard Sam laughing and looked over and he was at the window, laughing at Boykin playing in the yard. It was so cute, I had to take a picture. He is SO mobile now, he is crawling all over the place and fast!

Of course Rex wanted a picture of him also....

Here's a funny Rex story. Today we were driving and we were right by some pine trees. Rex looks at the trees and says "Mommy, look at the sap trees." Although it took me a minute to figure out the word sap, he said it a little weird. Then he proceeds to tell me that pygmy marmosets live in sap trees and eat sap cause they love it. Do you think he watches Go Diego Go enough?!
