long time no see

Shauna and I are a month a part, I am the older and wiser one :) I haven't been able to see my cousin since my Gramp's funeral two years ago, that's sad. The time before that was when I was barely pregnant with Tyler. Man time flies! I used to spend one or two weekends a summer with Shauna in Ephraim. She still lives back that way, So I loaded my Grahm's and my Momma and we met her for lunch in Springville. It was a way too short of a visit. It was a good lunch and good company. I hope next time we can visit longer. I have missed her and barely even got to catch up!

Jungle Jims w/ Twins

This pic is clearly my favorite of the evening!! She is such a ham!!

I keep the "TWINS" on Monday afternoon. I call them the twins because Jack and Abigail are about 8 months apart. I just love them! We decided to load them up along with my three kids and head out for family fun night for dinner at chuck-a-rama and then to Jungle Jim's. During dinner Jason kept shaking his head at me with the look of "five kids, you must be out of your mind!" I just soaked it all in. It was funny looking at each other across the table while Abby smeared her potatoes all over the table and jack bounced on the booths bench, Tyler singing, Maddie and Bubba eating. I loved it!

We met up with Larkyn after dinner and man the two of us laughed at the little kids. At first they weren't too sure what to think of the rides especially Maddi and Bubba helping them on and off the rides but by the end of the night it was a fight to get them off.

My two oldest are getting a little too big but they are good sports about helping the littler ones.
We had a great time, we usually do on Family nights!! I love my family!!

it's the luck of the Irish

My Mom and I put together these cute little clover's together using the yogurt covered pretzels and melted some White almond bark, put a dab on the wax paper to act as glue then drizzled some over the pretzels using a sandwich bag then sprinkled the green sprinkles while the bark was still wet. They turn out super cute and tasty. We then passed them out to friends and the ladies we visit teach.

With the help of one of my Besties I was able to create a tie and a skirt, yes this is about all I can make. But the kids were so excited and they looked rather sharp! They received a lot of compliments and luckily didn't get pinched!

I hope all of you had a great St. Patrick's day!!

Principle's Pride

Bubba was given the Principle's Pride award a couple of weeks ago. His teacher recognized him for his "deep reasoning in scientific inquiry", what ever that means ?? either way it was super duper special to surprise him and join him for lunch and clap and shout for him when he went up. I am so proud of him!

( school lunch still sucks )

Little Puck

This is our friends Brooke & Bert's boy Josh, we'd been trying to talk him in to a Mohawk for a couple of weeks, so his parents pulled their bribing money together and brought him over so Jason could give him one. We call him little Puck ( off of Glee ) but when he wears his Tap Out shirt he looks more like little chuck Lidell.

he looks super cool.....not too long after this, my boy's got theirs!! I love Mohawk season!!

love day

We've never really been too big on celebrating Valentine's day. I mean it's just another day to spend way too much money. Boy how society has put a price tag on every holiday. Don't get me wrong, who doesn't love getting a little something? I was actually very surprised that my Husband went out and got me something. I was having a bit of a rough day and when I came down and saw these on the counter, I felt so over whelmed. I felt so loved. I couldn't remember the last time I received flowers from Jason? I have always told him to just give me cash!

What is even more awesome is he was on crutches from breaking his leg and walked in to two different places for me. Them struggling getting it in to the house. (Along with the flowers I received a gift card for a massage. )

I do want to strangle my husband most of the time but he does do a lot for me and puts up with a lot. I sure do love him!!
I am so lucky to have him, I hope he knows that not just on Valentines day!

6-0

Jason is so calm, cool and collective when it comes to his fights. He's not nervous, he thinks clearly. Most fighters don't have this attitude before going in to a fight. Jason has told me that there will be guys in the back throwing up and have nervous sweats. How ever is is super anxious two -three days before his fights....mostly to "get it on", he gets pumped and what helps motivate him even more is hearing all of us cheer for him. We had 40+ people there cheering for him. It is a great feeling. I have such gratitude for his fans!

I have told Jason that I would really like to see one of his fights go past the first round, only because we pay good money to come and watch him. He wanted to knock this guy out but when his opponent open himself up Jason couldn't help but take him down. Jason won in the first round again by rear naked choke. He did give the guy a pounding in his face for a little bit. It was a tense fight, I was worried that Jason was going to get knocked out, his opponent has broad shoulders and is known to knock people out, he did knock Jason down but Jason got back up again. It was a great fight and a great night out with friends and family. Of course the after party was at Denny's.

I am so proud of Jason, He really works so hard and is so passionate about this sport. I really hope he goes all the way with it. I will push as much as I can. Thanks again to every one that shows their love and support. We love you!

* our first big injury with this fight, he broke his leg and wasn't given the proper diagnosis with the insta care Doctor and wouldn't listen to me to get a second opinion...he waited three weeks later when his friend told him to go in, so the poor guy was walking around and training with a broken leg!! Duh!! He was bummed, He was told to stay off of it for another 4-6 weeks. This means he can't be on the fight card for two different venues this month...but come the end of May...here we go again!!
