Wow, I am really neglecting this whole blog thing! But as many of you know(according to Taylor) I have MOM of the YEAR wrapped up-don't even bother sending in your applications cuz i have it! So Here are the highlights(just since september) that give me the above award:
1. Took family to airshow(so so awesome) and then stood in the cold with freezing children with NO jackets   for 2 HOURS waiting to get back to the car. 
2. Had a Fun Fun Halloween, with the cutest princess and Hannah Montana in Vegas, and you guessed it-NO PICTURES-at all.
3. Sent Taylor on scout backpacking trip (our troop is made up of leaders and scouts from 3 wards). Dropped him off at 6 am for a 2 mille backpacking/camping trip with people we DON"T know, going to a mountain we THINK is still in Nevada, and coming home the next day(we assume). That's right, DIDN'T know when he was returning, so he backpacked home from the church!
4. Had a Fantastic Thanksgiving with the family, including hiking at red rock, seeing the fountains at Bellagio, sitting in DAM traffic going to Hoover Dam(which was okay because it gave Jeremy ample time to try and throw as many peanut M&M's in the sunroof in Jackie's car). We finished by taking the kids to see Santa at Bass pro shop(we go all out) so Paige could be sufficiently SCARED to DEATH of Santa. Did take pictures, but when I tried to download said pictures, the computer became ill with some kind of virus( I think it has H1N1).
5 Sent Brooklyn to school with STREP THROAT-of course to infect all, as only a good mom would do!

6. Tried to go to parent teacher conferences-on the WRONG day(so completely missed them)

7. Bought stuff for gingerbread houses for Brooklyn to make at school, AFTER she already did it.
8. Tried to post pictures of happy events-LOST the CAMERA!
9. Did NOT get pictures and/or Christmas cards sent out.
10. Did I mention LOST the CAMERA!
11. And last but not least, only a TRUE mother of the year could threaten her children with her cooking.  Yes, its true rather than having to EAT my cooking, Taylor, Brooklyn, and Paige cleaned the house until it SPARKLED!

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR
