Saturday Mallory and I got to go with Kendra and Morgan to see Tatum and Jayden's dance troupe perform at a dance competition. We even got a 'lil shopping in before it was time to head home. ( Okay honestly I spent $22 at the Tilly's.) Matt took Maddox and Hunter to the Paseo Verde Park and did some Urban Fishin' They caught a 14 inch trout and Maddox and Matt threw it on the grill and ate it, I will admit it tasted just like anyother trout ive tasted. Saturday night we headed out to WestWorld and watched a horse show that Matts Brother's girlfriend Terri was riding in. Maddox loved it and I of 'course I forgot the camera in the car so we did get a pic in when we were leaving. Atleast the kids are all smiles!!!

SuperBowl Baby!!!!!

Can you believe the Cardinals are going to the SuperBowl? Matt and I were talking the other night. We figured out that with 40 to 1 odds against the Cardinals going to the SuperBowl we could have made a simple $40,000 profit if we had placed a measley $1000 bet on our home town boys! Instead we play it safe and Matt bets his Captain a foot lickin if the Cardinals dont go to the SuperBowl! (we always seem to be a step behind.) Good News for Matt, I dont think Darren is going to make him pay up!

We had a great weekend! We hosted the Cardinals playoff game on Sunday and had a blast hanging with old friends, Kendra helped Mallory with her Chia pet that she was so eager to do, we may even sprout in the next few days. Mallory had Tatum and Morgan spend the night and they must have been wiped out cuz when I checked on them @ 1030 pm I saw 3 little angels asleep. (I never even told them it was time to settle). I owe it to those girls for helping Mallory complete her "100 things" project. Unfortunately the project was in need of some repairs, on Monday. While Tia was left home alone in the house she managed to eat half of the "100 things". We now know that she prefers fruit loops, animal crackers and fruit snacks over the raisins. It all worked out and Mallory got a "job well done" at school today!

Goodbye 2008...Helllo 2009

I still havent figured out where 2008 went! I will admit I am glad that its a new year and we can put the old to rest! I woke up the other morning thinking about how fast my life is going......Im done having kids....(they amaze me each day how independent they want to be), I have my degree and have no desire to go back to school for anything else, and life seems satus quo!

December went by faster than I had imagined. Christmas was great, we focused on making Christmas traditions and just spending time with friends and family, (the way it should be). I had a birthday on Dec. 27th and am officially well into my thirties at 32 . My cousin Julie came to visit form Nebraska (GO Huskers!!!), The last time I had seen her I was 21. We spent some quality time together, drank alot of wine and I even got a new hair color out of it!

Now life is back to normal........Busy normal. Matt is back to his normal work schedule after his sinus surgery and Mallory was ecstatic to go back to school. Maddox is attending Miss Jamie's for daycare and begs me to go even on my days off.......so I guess he like it! Matts still teaching at SiegeMMA and training has been alot easier after his sinus surgery...the poor boy can finally breathe thru his nose.

The Cardinals are playing Sunday and we are hosting a few friends over to celebrate thier victory against the Eagles! Can you believe its been 50+ years since a playoff game....2009 has got to be a good year!!!
