I DIDN"T KNOW?

Sterling was attempting to do his own laundry. This was shocking in it's self, because he never does his own laundry. For Thanksgiving he received sweaters from Sodhi, really nice WOOL sweaters that fit him perfectly. He loved these sweaters because they made him look like a prep boy going to college. I guess he didn't realize that the sweaters were wool and he washed them, which nothing happens in the washing if done on the WOOL cycle. But that wasn't the cycle they were washed on. NO, NO, NO, so then with out thinking he puts them into the dryer. YES you heard me, he put them into the dryer on hot heat for about an hour. HUMM you can only imagine what happened next........ they shrunk! to the size of a toddlers shirt. Me, Jessica, had never seen that kind of shrinkage to cloths before, I was dumbfounded. So now the nice sweaters are Max's nice sweaters.... HAHA HA it makes me laugh.
Good Job Pogi.

Christmas Party

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Well this year's Christmas Party was pretty cool because Beau came home from Hawaii Christmas Eve and that is when we had the party. And at are parties we do a gift exchange, because of Nicks excitement we had to pick the name of the person in June!

As a tradition we all get new PJ's on Christmas eve after the party.

CHRISTMAS MORNING

Nick decides to get everyone up at 7!. even the MONO sleepers. And let me tell you he was screaming his lungs out to get everyone up and into the living room. He even went down stairs to wake up Barbara, Jessica, and Max. He had a lot of courage to do that. Once everyone woke up from the dead, the present opening BEGAN!!! It went youngest to oldest so Nick was pretty upset about that cause he wanted to open his now!

So Max went first opening a present from Aunt Jeanny that was "alive" it was his biggest and best present that he got being a Animal Jungle from playschool. Santa didn't go up to Grandma's house so we didn't open all of his up at Grandma's house.

Suzannah got a Colorful wonderland of sharpies she was happy because that was the only thing she wanted from Santa, however also got cloths, Nintendo DS games, Candy, and a night light, and too much more to mention.

Savannah couldn't make up her mind, about what she wanted from the "Big Man in RED" so despite his best efforts she got, IMAGINE FASHION DESIGNER NEW YORK, and when she opened it, words can't describe her emotions lets just say she loved it a lot.

Sterling the only thing he wanted from Santa was Pokemon Rangers for his Nintendo DS, and he got a bunch of Cowboy things because of his love of horses, and lots of stuff in his stocking.

Nick "the ONE" and only thing he wanted was DOLCE & GABBANA COLOGNE and of all the presents that was the first one he opened, he also got the coolest skinny jeans in the world! and some fox riding shirts and a zoo york shirt from Aunt Jeanny.

Hillary the thing she wanted from Santa was a book. When she opened the book she went right to her room and read the rest of the day until she finished later that night, she also got a pack of her fave drink MT. DEW but we call it her mountain spring water.

Jessica got a portable DVD player from Santa, she was pretty freaking happy about that, but what she really wanted was this purse from Fox Riding, but she didn't show that she was disappointed.

NOT SHOWN some one has to take the pictures.

Barbara got Twilight the book from Santa she did the same thing Hillary went right too her room and read like there was no tomorrow she finished that night. She also got stuff for her diabetes.

Mother loves her Kenzo Perfume and this year she didn't think she was getting any, but because Santa did some sneaky elf work and was able to get if for her, When she opened that she was so happy that she started to cry, the other thing she got was a "eye clops" she has wanted one ever since they came out so she could get a better look at zits.

later that night we had Christmas dinner down at Heidi's house and the food was amazing. She had Christmas Honey baked ham, a fried Turkey that Beau over did, mash potato's and no sweet potato's because Aunt Barbara was sick and wasn't able to come up and that is what she had to bring up for dinner, and all the usual Christmas dinner food. Ans that concluded our wonderful Christmas!

Thanksgiving

The first time in the history of are family this Thanksgiving went smooth. No crying, No one getting upset, And no one stressing out!! We had a whopping total of 8 people over for dinner instead of the entire clan. Heidi and Hillary and her kids went down to her mother in-laws house because Chloe was already down there. Beau didnt have Thanksgiving with us this year because he was in Hawaii working. On of the things we were thankful for was that we had a fancy table place ment, an yes Nick even helped with that! Dinner went off with out any problems, but the pecan pie which didnt settle mom wasnt too happy about that. And besides that everything went swell. Happy Thanksgiving.

Family Fun In Lake Powell

This is our family! Minus Jessica, (The person who is taking the picture, it's my job) and Barbara. You see Barbara worked down at Bullfrog, Ut. which is basically "Lake Powell". It was summer vacation for the kids, so we decided to go down and visit her. On our way we stopped at Arches National Park. This picture was our first stop. A long night and tons of driving made for one crazy picture. Mother always happy? Umm big cliff behind us I think her smile is saying ("holy shit don't fall") under her breath and gritting her teeth together. Heidi, notice the model pose, Ha, Ha, Ha, it makes me laugh. Jessica, not shown. Hillary, trying look as excited as possible despite her not feeling good. Nick, he WAS having a good time. Sterling, WAS NOT having a good time. I think he was feeling picked on or Malik was getting on his nerves or he did not get to drive in the air conditioned car? HUMM I don't know. Suzannah, (the one in the front with her angry eyes on) she could be mad because she had little sleep, and well she is just a tween, and needy. Savannah, the Diva who is fixing her hair for the picture, she had to look good. Heaven for bid she look like the rest of us. Chloe, or Goof as I (Jessica) call her, was having a blast being out in the big country exploring up and down the cliffs of the Arches. Malik, was Max's bodyguard, he led him up and down the stairs, hand in hand. Max, well not much to say about Max just that he was having a great time playing with Malik, his best friend!. Brooklyn, just woke up. Her hair, LOL, my goodness. This Photo shows off our personalities well and I thought it was perfect for my first blog.... (Forgive me for any errors in my typing)
