The Worst Mom.......

Noah got these Miami Dolphin Boxers for Christmas,
and this is the honest truth......
he has worn them everyday since!
Not kidding.
They have been washed, but I can tell you it has not been often.
He hides them when he showers
and then puts them back on!

Why does this make me a bad mom?
Because I really don't care.
I have decided to pick my battles with my kids
and Noah's underwear fetish
is not a battle I have chosen to fight!

So give me the "Worst Mother of the Year" award!!

March Madness nearly over...

For BYU March Madness ended last Thursday when they lost to
Florida in overtime by 9 points!!
It was a very fun season though!
And how cool is it that this is the cover of Sports Illustrated??

We picked Ohio to go all the way....
but they got knocked out on Saturday!
McKenzie picked Kansas!
They are gone too.........
Kind of a crazy year!
Only 4 teams left, none of them were expected to win!
There are no #1 seeds left.
Hunter is cheering for VCU. A number 11 seed that started in the play in games.
Cinderella story maybe? I have never even heard of them.
Daniel is now picking Butler to take it all! They are a # 8 seed!

I guess we will see..........

Snorkeling at the Crater...

St. George

On Friday I went with Suzi to St. George.
She had to go meet with clients to show houses
so I thought I would tag along to get away from the snow and enjoy some warm weather!
Well, the joke was on me.
Saturday in St George it poured rain...and I do mean poured!
It was only in the low 40's!
Back at home they were having Sunshine and weather in the 50's!
We did show houses though. Did some shopping, went to a movie, ate way too much,
and laughed hysterically into the wee hours of the morning.
We could actually hear the guy in the room next to ours snoring.
For some reason we could not stop laughing about it.
I was pretty sure someone was going to call the front office to report us,
because if we could hear him snoring,
surely people trying to sleep could hear us laughing!!

On Sunday the weather was a bit nicer, warmer, and sunny!
We went to church, showed another house,
and then went to the St. George Temple.

For some reason the above tree Enchanted me!

I love the look of St. George with the red rocks and palm trees!
Just a fun place to go!
I did find my 2nd home though.
Just a place to come stay at when I am sick of all of the snow.
We found a fun gated community that was kind of
Southwestern, Adobe Style, Indian looking....
can't really explain the homes,
but I loved them. Not so much the outside, as the inside..
but just a really fun, unique look!
A girl can dream.........
Anyway,
It was a fun trip and it looks like Suzi sold a house,
so it was worth the trip!
Actually it would have been worth it even if she hadn't.
Bad weather and all.
Last night when we came home,
we came home to cold and snow!
I think Heavenly Father has a real sense of humor when it comes to me!
I have to wonder.............

Sweet Sixteen.......

It is March Madness at our house
and the family is so excited that BYU beat Gonzaga
and is going to the Sweet Sixteen!
Tomorrow is the big game against Florida!
With the excitement also comes anxiety
because we want them to win so bad and go to the Elite Eight.....
It has been 30 years.......that is a long time.
I was in High School...that was forever ago!

Not only can Jimmer play basketball
but in my opinion this kid also has the greatest smile!

Noah walks around the house constantly singing,
"Teach me how to Jimmer"
Soooooo funny!

(David Stockton and Jackson Emery)

A fun thing about the Gonzaga game was watching David Stockton play!
Talk about a little mini me of his dad John Stockton.
He had the same walk and mannerisms as his dad.
All he needed were shorter shorts and he could have been his dad!
I love John Stockton! He will always be one of my favorite NBA players!
I also remember seeing his sons in the stands watching him when he played for the Jazz.
How weird that they are all grown up now and playing college ball.

Some fun signs............

A sign that Daniel thought was funny that he saw
but we don't have a picture of said,

"3 Exceptions to the Honor Code"
Jimmer SCORES
Jackson STEALS
and
Abouo gets HIGH!

In one of Hunters classes his teacher added a 14th Article of faith.
"We believe in Jimmer"!
I don't know why I find these so funny, but that about sums up how crazy
everyone is about BYU Basketball right now!
It really has been a fun year to watch them play,
no matter how it ends there are some fun memories!

Good Luck BYU!

A Boy and His Dog!!

Noah and Stockton are the Best of Friends!

Play Time........

Is he not the cutest Puppy ever???

Oklahoma

Last week for Spring Break, Autumn and Matt
went to Oklahoma to visit Autumns Best Friend Jackie
and her husband Benji and their little girl Mischa.

She is the cutest baby ever and Autumn says she is perfect!
Always happy and smiling!

Oklahoma University Stadium.
The Highlight of Oklahoma!

They also went to the Zoo! I thought this was a very cool picture of this bear!

Matt, Autumn, Jackie, Benji and Mischa

I was looking at the above picture and noticed everyone had a foot in the picture.
I also noticed somebody is wearing my black boots I have been looking for!!

Autumn and Matt caught a Turtle and were thinking about
bringing it back to the boys,
but then decided it was too big to try to hide in their luggage
and get it on the plane.
The boys were so disappointed!

Not really sure about this picture or about Matt's smile,
but I thought it was fun!
(The spider, not Matt's smile)

Looks like they had a fun trip!!
But Autumn says they won't be moving to Oklahoma anytime soon!
Thanks Jackie for showing them such a good time!

I think he is growing.............

In just two months he went
from this tiny sleepy puppy............
to this out of control,
can't hold him still without a strangle hold on him puppy!

We do love him though.............
