McKay's Big Day

On the Sunday after McKay's Birthday he was ordained a Deacon. I am so proud of him for the choices he has made in his life so that he could have this great opportunity. He had so much family there to support him. The Bishop asked if we could have it in his office. Then I told him how many people would be coming & we ended up in the multipurpose room. My family alone is over 20, then you add Korey's family, & then McKay's, Hatch side of the family & it gets to be a crazy amount of people that LOVE him. Korey gave him a very sweet blessing. It makes me so happy that my Husband can give our son's blessings. He is such a great example to the boys. After that we went to our house & had dinner. I think I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of people that were going to be in my little house. But when it was all said & done it worked out so great. Everyone was well feed & seemed to have a great time visiting. We love you McKay!!!


The picture of the 3 of us is funny:) It looks like I am choking him. I promise I am not!

McKay is 12!!!

WOW!!! When did my sweet McKay grow up on me & turn 12? How is it that I have a child who is 12? I am still in denial that he is this old. But it happened & I am sure when he is 16, 17, 18, 19 & so on I will say the same things. His birthday this year was on Wednesday & those are crappy days at our house. Korey does not get home until after we are all in bed. But we made the best of it. I made him cupcakes & took them to his class at school. Then I took the boys out to dinner. McKay's choice was Sizzler of course. Then the next day he & his friends wanted to go to Jumpin Jacks. We also invited his cousins & we had a lot of fun. The kids worked up a good sweat & ran off lots of energy. Then on Friday he went on an over nighter with his good friend Seth to a cabin. They both said they had a great time. On Sunday he is was ordained a Deacon.(That is a whole post of its own.) So I like to say he had a birthweek instead of a birthday! Happy Birthday Son! We love you & are so proud of you & all the good choices you make. I hope you had a great Birthday?

I love to get the boys balloons for their Birthdays!


I love this picture!

Him & his good Friends I hope they will always stay close!

The whole group!

He wanted a triple decker chocolate cake!

Cups

My boys love the show Minute to Win it. We watch it every week together. They love to make up new games & to try the games they see on TV. The latest game they love is the cup one. They love to stack the cups and take them down as fast as they can. Then they make up new ways to stack the cups and take them down. Needless to say we go through a lot of plastic cups at our house. The other day Ryan was so proud of the stack he had made, it took him a long time to get this one to stay standing. He asked me to get the camera & to take a picture & then to post it on the blog. I love this kid!!!

Korey's 32nd Birthday!!!

Back at the end Of February Korey turned 32! I am a slacker & just getting around to posting about it. I like to think he had a great Birthday & everyone one of his wishes came true! All he wanted was a a Nook & Carrot Cake. So that is what he got. We have all loved the Nook. The kids love to read books on it. I like to get on the Internet when the boys are on the computer. Korey just loves everything about it. All & all it was a great purchase & has been used all the time. Korey's Mom got him a GPS & that too has been way fun. The kids ask anytime we get in the van if we can use it. Even if we are just going to Target or school. I am excited to go camping next week & take it along with us. I am hoping to take the boys Geo Cashing with it while we are gone!
