Happy Birthday Girls!

Last week began with Max at Preschool with me on Monday. Not the Usual Matix Monday but he enjoyed it. I went in to do some work to prepare for Fun Day, Thanksgiving Feast, and Christmas show! and so I could leave the next day to go see Mama Mia with my Sista-inlaws for Andi's B-day!

Trent and Andi are the cutest couple ever. Trent surprised her on her last birthday before baby Staheli comes to party. We showed up at Dinner while she was in the bathroom and surprise!! I loved watching Trent look at Andi. He had the biggest smile as he watched her be super happy and receive her fun gifts. It was such a fun gift for all of us. Thank you guys for everything! You are the coolest!
Mama Mia was awesome and it was so great to hang out with Sam, Kristi, and Judy at the condo.
Then on Thursday Stacie, Lacey, Kath, and I went to Cafe Rio for my Momma's birthday.
I have such an amazing mom. She inspires me daily.
She always has a spotless house and
chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven.
She texts us funny messages. My favorite was "My Momma with a Lama!"
She loves Matix so much and can't wait for more grandbabies.
I love that she is herself at all times. She's truly genuine.
Mom,
I am so blessed to have you as my momma and I love you very much.
I hope you had a Happy Birthday!

Then Kate and I went to Fake Lunch on Friday for her birthday! It was fake lunch cuz we are both on diets and we only had water and talked about stupid diets. K8-train. Thanks for all the love and support you have giving me threw this difficult time. I am lucky to have a great friend like you to give up food with me. We are gonna be hot!...

Andi, Kathy, and Kate,
I love you girls! I hope your days were great!
and Now we land back at Matix Monday! Playing outside and blowing bubbles. He loves you guys too!
Dad and Max=Best Friends.

Giving Momma Kisses...

Love Him!

A Mellow Matix Monday and Thriller

Cuddling in his supercute Batman jams.
Today was a different kind of Matix Monday. It was still great but mellow. Max wasn't very playful today, but he was very cuddly. I wondered if he wasn't feeling well. He did seem to have a little fever. I think his canines are on the way.
We cuddled in bed while watching Backyardigans. then had lunch. Grilled cheese sandwich and Pineapple slices. and a cupcake. well the frosting from the cupcake. Then bath-time and nap-time, Then it was time to pick up Dad from work. It wasn't ultra-exciting but it was ultra-happy!

yummy cupcake...
Tomorrow we are back at Talent Sprouts and starting our busy week. Dancing, singing, learning all about the letter "P" and Halloween parties and parades.

Tonight was girls night out with Ed. He took Cheryl, Lacey, Stacie and I to see Thriller. It was fantastic! Every time I am at Tuacahn I want to perform there again. Stace, Lace, Me and hopefully Kody if we can talk him into it, are gonna try out for Footloose in the Spring. Ha! I am in no way a dancer but I got some snazzy leg warmers so hopefully they will make up for my lack of talent.

The Life Outside!

I love living in Saint George UTah! and the months September thru November are especially terrific. Our little familia has done a few fun things outside now that the weather is prime. We had a hobo dinner night at Gunlock.
Matix, Gramma and Grandpa K. waiting for the fire to be ready to cook our hobo-dindin.

Matix and Momma snuggin.

Kody and StacieRin are so stinkin' cute. Make babies already!

UEA Vacay, We didn't go anywhere and it was fabulous! We had a picnic in the park. Sadly, my kind of picnic is hitting a wendy's driv-thru and scoring some nuggs! We love the nuggs! and I love my boys with nug-sauce on their faces. So Awesome.

This is our new Family Photo. I'm pretty pleased with what was captured.

Gawl, I love these guys!

I like it when you call me BIG POP-PA!

A few weeks ago, My huge, amazing family celebrated my Dad's 50th Birthday. Yes, ED IS 50!!
We had an awesome BBQ, Watched a slide show of his life that Cheryl put together, and his brothers and sisters and his kids said a little something about how special he is to us. It was such a great night. These are a few of my favorite Edwin Franklin Rogers Jr. memories.
- Playing Zelda for hours: He was the nintendo master growing up.
- Shark Game, Holding on to his back and he'd swim under the water across the pool. We spent most of the summer in the pool. Other favorite pool games were ring toss and jumping off his shoulders.
- Camping: His Dutch-oven skills are bomb diggity and no one can roast a mallow so exquisitely
- The Voice of the Rebels: Ever since we moved back to S.G. he has announced something. Dixie Basketball and Football, and many other local events, and now the St. George Roadrunners.
- I'm With Ed: My Dad was the Ambassador Advisor at Dixie State for ten years. He made many friends and helped many students with their educational endeavors. One year for our ambassador trip to California, we all wore bright orange T-shirts that said in big bold Letters, "I'm With Ed!" As we walked around Magic Mountain people would ask who Ed was, and we would say, "Oh ED! He Is the greatest!"
He really is the Greatest! Greatest Dad, Example, and friend a girl could ask for. He loves his kids so much and he would do anything for us. I have been so blessed to be his daughter and I know that everything really is alright when "I'm with Ed!".
Happy Fathers Day Dad! I love you So much!

mmmLOVE!!

Today I attended the sweetest Wedding Ceremony. Beau and Stef Stratton have been in love for years. As I watched them today I couldn't help but have the stupidest cheeser grin from ear to ear. Then once I saw the couple tear up, my stupid cheeser grin was instantly ugly cry face, but it didn't even matter! This day was so Happy.

I first met Stef in difficult times. Our families were going through many changes and none of us really knew what to expect of our new situation. As I look back at where we were, awkward little kids trying to help each other deal, I realize how fortunate I am that I got to be around to watch Stef grow up to be an amazing woman. First car and jobs, Beau, Scrapbooks, Beau, Proms, Beau, Graduation, and Now Today to be there was so special.

Beau and Stef, I love you guys and I wish you the best of it all. You truly deserve it.

Yay!!! I lost my camera and Jon got me a new one for Valentines day. (Actually two weeks before V-day for our Duck Creek trip) So Here are some pics of what we've been up to lately. Max is so freaking fun!~



Super Serious and silly. He loves to be IN the couch.


and He has a tooth.


We love his Spanky hat cuz his noggin' is stinkin' HUGE.


We went and spent the weekend at a cabin in Duck Creek with Kode and Stace, and Mike and Sam, and friends but I only took a few pics. Stacie has long pretty hair in this one. We had a great time playing Wii and watching movies, snowboarding and sledding. It was fun to play in the snow.

Family Pictures!

2008-s Gonna be Great!!

The holidays were perfect. We got to see lots of family and friends. SinterKlaus was super fun, Got Jammies at Grandma's, Went to vegas for Stomp and shopping, Down to Arizona for Logan's wedding. And Wii with friends.

Memory Lane.

Lifting a huge Head!

Pirate Tats
Kyle is the Real Deal

Indian Friends

Today I finally got all the pictures off my camera. 250 over the last three months. Most of them are of Matix. So i'm choosing a few favorites to post.

Also we had Halloween. We rocked trunk-r-treat with our pirate ship, "root rum and treasure" Kyle was the greatest pirate I've ever seen. Kody and Jon were Yucka. Ana, Colin, and Layla were next to us in their teepee, Roastin' mallows. It was a great night.

I have a few from our Turkey sandwich night. Kyle got a turkey from his work and it was huge. We decided to cook it and make turkey sandwich's out of it cuz thats the best part of Thanksgiving Dinner. Tomorrow we will be having our jama christmas movie party. So i will have more. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out how to get my pictures on here in an order instead of all over the place.

I love my family and friends. Looking at all of these I get so happy. We have a lot of fun together.

A sad day for pictures...

It was freezing the day before thanksgiving. Our family pictures all had a Matix frowny face.
