Happy Birthday Papa Rod!

My dads Birthday was on the 20th. We all went to Sizzler to celebrate and eat some yummy food! If you dont know my dad, your missin out! He's such a great guy and would do anything for anyone. McKall and Waytt think he's pretty great too! He watches them for Chandler and I and we couldn't be more appreciative of all he does to help us out! We thank Heavenly Father everyday for him and the example he is to us. He's amazing! WE LOVE YOU DAD!! Your the BEST! :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

p.s. grandma Janice was really there, she was just hiding in the back!

Pirate Island

A couple weekends ago Chandler and I took the kids to Pirate Island. The kids loved it! The whole pirate theme was really cute and the food was good. I dont know that we would rush back anytime soon but it was fun...kinda like a Chuckie Cheese but in pirates. I myself like Chuckie Cheese better, but we had a good time! We also became "executive" Costco members that night! Whoop Whoop! They have some awesome things there and are suppose to be building one between Springville and Payson this year! YAY!

Our "Little Rascal!"

(Push pause on the playlist)




Wyatt, your SO "STINKIN" FUNNY!!!!

Check up

I took McKall to Primary Children's on the 11th for her check up. Chandler had to give a presentation at work and couldn't come so we took Rachel Meggan with us! She seen the Rheumatologist for her leg pains and the Cardiologist for her heart murmur. It went pretty good. Back in October when the Doctors told us she may have arthritis, it worried me sick. I've always pictured McKall being a little gymnast like I was, and if she had arthritis I knew that would be really hard. The Rheumatologist, Dr. Christie Inman, said she does not have arthritis, YAHOO!!! She did say that McKall is very very small for her age, like "not even on the charts" small. She also mentioned that she may have Celiacs Disease. Which is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. She wants to talk to the Immunologist and will let us know for sure next week. She also said that McKall has psoriosis. She gets rashes behind her ears and under her arms. I was talking with Dr. Bailey, the Doctor I work for, and he has psoriosis. He told me that it's a proven fact that people who have psoriosis have higher IQ's....I believe it! McKall, make mommy and daddy lots of money K!!!! LOL!
They also did a CT scan on her cause her lymph nodes and sinuses were swollen. The scan showed a big huge thing of infection and one of her nostrals was almost completely closed. She said McKall has had the infection for a long time. Call me a bad mom but I seriously had no clue and she hasn't complained of anything in her head hurting since she had the headaches in October. Antibiotics and nasal spray is what we'll be doing for a while to get rid of it though.
The Cardiologist said that everything looked good with the echo. She just has what they called an "innocent murmur." Also that she has a "venous hum" in the artory in her neck. Both of these being very normal and she should grow out of it. YAY YAY and YAY!!!
In the end we are so thankful that this has all turned out to be nothing serious. We will get to the bottom of all this and get our little gal better soon! What a long day it was and a big THANKS to Rachel Meggan and to all my amazing family and friends for the help and support you have given us! I dont know what we would do without you! :)
This is us "patiently waiting" in the jeep between appointments!!!

Sleigh Riding New Years Day....



The road we found was SAWEET!! I didn't get any pictures of Rachel and I going down on the old fashioned wood sled, :( but every time we wrecked we were laughing so hard we couldn't get up! That sled hauled some major booty, it was AWESOME! Chandler and Tyrell went on it together and biffed it hard at the bottom....so stinkin funny...

I think I wrecked about 122 times, thanks to Chandler, and man did I pay for it the next day!

Wyatt got cold and fell asleep in the warm truck with grandma and grandpa! That's why he didn't make it in a lot of the pictures. We had a BLAST though and will for sure be going again soon!

New Years Eve

We've had fun New Years Eve parties with the fam since I was a little girl. I'll tell you what, we know how to have a good time!!! This year we partied all night at Jan's house. We ate delicious food, played BINGO, Minute to win it, the quarter game, and the traditional Newlywed Game (;which Chandler and I WON, WHOOP WHOOP!;) We had so dang much fun! A great big THANKS to Auntie Jan and fam for having everyone over and hosting one AWESOME P-A-R-T-Y!

The oreo game was hilarious...seeing everyone's facial expressions trying to get the oreo into their mouths, classic! Kaden was the CHAMPION at this one!!!
