David’s 35th Birthday

This boy thinks he can get older on me!  Ha!  35 is a pretty big deal in my eyes.  So we celebrated!  The day before his birthday (Saturday) I took him skiing up at Park City at the Canyons Ski Resort.  I got a babysitter for the whole day.  It was so much fun to spend the day together.  One of these years I am going to figure out how to keep my feet from freezing and going numbSad smile!

Sunday he opened his present.  He got a new computer chair.  For as many late nights as he pulls, on the computer working, a real office chair would be so much more comfortable than the chair from the table!   Jason seemed pretty excited about it!

Sunday night I had invited our family that lives close, friends and neighbors  to come over to enjoy dessert and visit!  It was so fun!  Chris and Andrea’s family came, Andy and Kate’s family, the Condie’s, the Ross’s, the Boyer’s and Tiffany Montgomery came over with Mia.  We had ice cream (store bought and homemade), carrot cake, chocolate mousse cake and chocolate chip cookies!  Neither David or I am all about having big parties on our birthday.  We don’t like to be the center of attention.  But it was sure fun to have an excuse to gather around friends! 

When all the friends left we were visiting with Chris and Andrea.  Someone mentioned the spanking machine (McGary tradition).  All the kids lined up and had fun whacking away!  Not often do you get the chance to spank your Dad or Uncle!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
