We went to the Utah Gymnastic meet. It was pink night. Everyone was suppose to wear pink to support breast cancer awareness. Mase and Max refused to wear pink. Matt squeezed into one of my pink shirts. It was hilarious. Gracie and I voted he keep his sweat shirt on.

Mase and Max loved watching the Utes Gymnastics. Mason's favorite part was dancing to "YMCA" and eating his Dip N' Dots. Max loved "Swoop" and clapping to the Ute Song. Go Utes!!!
Mase and Max were invited to get in the hot tub with their friends.
They love their friends.

Spaghetti Night

Mase and Max love spaghetti night. It is a huge mess, but they love slurping the noodles in.

We got to babysit little Bridger. Mase and Max were so excited when he showed up in a shirt they had. They ran upstairs and put on their shirts on so they were all matching. We had tons of fun with Bridger!!!

VEGAS!!

Matt and I went to Vegas. It was tons of fun. Thanks to my mom who watched our kids so we could go and have fun and relax. We did a lot of walking. We woke up early on morning and walked the whole strip both ways. I thought it was great excercise and Matt was a good sport. When we got back to the hotel room he told me how he was exhausted and fell on the bed and slept.
At the Bellagio making my wish. When I used to go to Vegas with the Crimson Line: Candace, Cam, Rav and I would always make our wish. I made Matt join in on the fun.
We watched all of the night shows. This is the water show at Bellagio. We went to the buffets, swimming, walking, watched movies and had tons of fun!

The Party Never Ends

We celebrated Mason's and Maxwell's birthday with their friends and Flip's. The boys were so excited to have their friends there. Of course, they had to have a Transformer cake.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MASON!

Wow! 5 years old. We can't believe how fast this little baby has grown up. Mason was born January 13th, 2004 at about 10:30 at night. We remember it like it was yesterday. I called Matt around noon and said "I either p'd my pants or my water broke." Matt said "Usually people know when they p'd their pants - YOUR WATER BROKE!" Matt was so excited - not only was his first son being born but he had a great excuse to drive 100mph down the freeway to pick me up and take me to the hospital. Mase was born without any complications.

Today daddy called Mason to wish him a happy birthday but before daddy could even get the words out Mase said "Daddy, your baby is now 5!" Time goes by way too fast. These little boys are growing up too quick.

Mason brings such wonderful attributes to our family. He is very cheerful. His laugh and smile is very contagious. He is just like his mommy. He loves to have an agenda. The first thing he says in the morning is "Good morning, what are we going to do today." After someone has a birthday he has to know who's birthday is next so he can have something to look forward to.

Mason is our music and dance boy. He has been blessed with a music talent. He'll have words to a song memorized after the 2nd or 3rd time listening to it. His favorite show is High School Musical. He has very good pitch and some killer dance moves. His favorite dance to do is the "robot".

Mason loves to wakeboard with dad in the summer, he loves being outdoors, hunting with daddy and swimming. In the summer he expects us to go camping or boating every weekend.

Mason is a very good example and older brother to Maxwell. Max looks up to him so much. He's very willing to share and is very protective of his brother. Mason loves to play "family games" (candyland, match etc.) 2 - 3 times per week.

Mason love cowboy boots. He wears them at all occasions - play, school, church and weddings!

We are so proud of Mason and we are so grateful to be his parents. Thank you for coming into our family Mason. We love you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAXWELL!

Our baby Maxie is growing up way to fast. Maxwell just turned 3 years old! He was born Dec. 31st, 2005. Just hours away from being born on daddy's birthday. We were all excited when he was born. Especially Mase! Max was Mason's baby and to this day Mase is very protective of him. Max has such a sweet personality.

Some interesting things about Max...

Whenever he puts on underwear, pants or shoes he holds on to our shoulders and taps each foot on the ground 3 times before he puts his leg in the pants. We have no idea where he learned this but it has to happen. If he forgets to do it he'll say "oops, I forgot" and he HAS to take his leg out and tap his foot - even if it means taking the pants all the way off.

Max loves to get himself dressed everyday. He insists on wearing his "b-ball clothes". He loves any sport with a ball and loves the clothes that go with it.

Max's favorite food is apples. He loves to dog sit his Aunt Manda's dog Tucker.

He loves to ride his bike and ride the wheeler and snowmobile with daddy. His favorite toy is anything to do with Transformers. We asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday and his reply is "transformers".

Max is very very tough. He'll fall off the bed or something and gets up and brushes it off like it was nothing.

Max brings such a wonderful contribution to our family and we can't imagine life without him. Thank you Maxwell for being such a great little person - We Love You!

Alison's Wedding

YEA! Alison and Kyle were married Dec. 27th 2008! We were SO excited for these guys. They were married in the SL Temple for time and all eternity. What a great choice they made



It was a little chilly out so Mase kept his hood on but we managed to keep each other warm.


Max was so excited to blow bubbles as they exited the temple


The wedding luncheon was as the white house in Bountiful. The food was yummy lazanga and spaghetti. Matt lead in the new traditional "shoe" game. He had the place in laughter the whole time - what a great time! The reception was held later that night at the same place. It was so fun to see family and friends. It was also fun to get all dressed up - the boys were studs in their little tux's.

We just love Kyle and are so excited to have him in our family.

There's something about a little boy in a tux and cowboy boots
