Happy Birthday Travis! Feb 19, Ya I'm Behind!

Travis wasn't having the best day at work but we all made him come out of his office so we could give him a few gifts.
I surprised him with a Glock 45 and a class to get his Concealed Weapons permit. He was pleasantly surprised! I always have to make sure he has a box of his FAVORITE chocolates too! Rob and Alison were generous enough to give us their tickets to the Elton John/Billy Joel concert. We had seen Elton before but we both loved this show! Billy Joel was a great accent to Elton. Travis absolutely LOVED it! Thank you so much again Rob and Alison!

We had to take the Glock out the next day and try it out but this is as close to the guns as Sabrina got. She stayed in the back of the car and shot the Airsoft gun. She was mostly just there to help with the puppies but she was too funny shooting out of the back of the car at a target she and Isaac had made a few days before.

McKayla wanted to shoot the Glock too.

It started to snow while we were there so it made it that much more fun! I got a video of Isaac shooting it and it's the funniest ever. The look on his face is one of major surprise and then he's like "Here. Take this gun. I'm deaf now! Holy cow that is SO loud!" It is a huge and powerful gun and super fun to shoot!

Then on Sunday we had friends over to celebrate some more! This seems to be the only picture I snapped but there was a whole houseful of people there! Against Travis' wishes of course but I love celebrating him! Happy Birthday Trav! We love you so much!

The Works!

I finally found somewhere that will print your blog! It is the best thing ever! Not only is it your journal but a digital scrapbook!
It was totally easy to download and order, about 20 minutes. It's a year and a half worth of blogging plus the comments that people made. I love it. Very professional looking! I'm sure they will get more technical with more options but I'm excited for the next few years to make another Blog Book!

P.S. Yes I forgot to add this very important part, sorry! cutestblogontheblock.com and not as expensive as you would think! Check it out! You can have up to 500 posts so there is plenty of room.

A Fergs Life!

Quality bonding time with Nick on a Sunday evening. I-Pods.
McKayla and Isaac made this for me for Christmas while I was in California. It was my favorite gift this year! It is really so cute, the sideways pic doesn't do it justice!

I asked Isaac to wash all the gunk off the bottom of his garbage can. This is what I found. It cracked me up so much because it wasn't even getting the bottom wet!

FeeBee's modeling pics after a bath.

Dax was more interested in the toy BASKET than the toys. He also had a very nice nap in it in the sun! What a life!

Sabrina made this cute ceramic flower. Doesn't it look cute!

FeeBee stopped being a hater for about 30 seconds to play a little tug of war with Dax. Then she remembered she hated him!

Isaac tied some thread to his Legos and turned on the Treadmill. It was quite a great invention and he spent alot of time messing around with other stuff like a snowboarder guy.
The mind of a creative child! Love it!

Monster Trucks

Isaac and his buddy Logan!

Sabrina and McKayla not a huge fan of my picture taking! Too bad, haha!

C.C. and his friend Savanna!

Let the kayos begin!

Motorcycles too!
Seriously loud!

Oh ya! That's why we came. The finale! Sailing over or more like across the school bus!

The E Center really wasn't big enough for a really awesome show so it was kinda lame but still fun to go to and people watch! Travis was really enjoying himself and helped us all to enjoy it even more!

Crazies!

Sabrina loves brownies and is always wanting to make them. Apparently someone couldn't wait or cut the correct way! No idea whose work this is but we all got a kick out of it.
Isaac begged me for days to have a snowball fight but the snow wasn't very good for that. I finally just went out and did it, of course I creamed him and he was laughing the whole time. We got bored of that and decided the make a "sand castle" but out of the snow. It was a blast and it took almost all of the snow we had to make it. Very cool what a 5 gallon bucket and entertainingone on one with a little boy can do for an afternoon. As soon as we were finished I suggested that he shoot it with the airsoft gun, so that took up even more hours and hours of fun!

This is the result of hours out in the snow and new pants.

McKayla has not worn matching socks since the 2nd grade. I stole this shot, had to make sure it is remembered. Silly girl!

Christmas 2009

Christmas Eve, Sabrina requested the onzies and has loved them ever since.
Dax was a huge fan of the box!

McKayla's favorite gift this year!

Isaac got these for the girls.

FeeBee guarding my things.

All of Isaac's dreams came true. He also asked if Santa was real this year and so after thinking hard about the answer for a 9 year old we thought it would be ok to break the news. His major beef was that we had LIED to him all these years.

The little boys were exhausted after a day of fun in the paper.

C.C. cleaned up too fast for a picture. Overall it was a nice Christmas that we all enjoyed very much together. Even though Sabrina was still feeling badly she was a good sport but then went back to bed soon after the fun ended. We missed Nick and Heather but know that we get to share for holidays. Next year!

December, A Blur!

C.C. spent hours on the roof putting up lights for us this year!
Evan and Isaac were on a Nerf mission!

Vinny's favorite place to hang out and have a sunbath.

Bad picture but Sabrina had a dance performance at school.

Trying to get FeeBee to pose in the cookie jar! She wasn't a fan!

Isaac has had a problem with warts on the bottom of his feet. The nurse asked him if he had named this one!

Some snow showed up for a little sledding.

I helped in Isaac's class when they made candy houses. It was fun to see him interact with the other kids in his class.

Travis, Sabrina, and I got to take a trip to San Jose and enjoy some of our old friends. Sab went to her friend Laurens house, went to the old school, and hung out with some of her pals. I got to see all of my favorites too, not all of them but some. I got to have lunch with Debbie and get caught up with her.

We were SOOOO lucky to be apart of John and Becky's wedding reception. She is one of our favorite young ladies that we used to get to spend alot of time with but she had to grow up and go to college. She seems so happy and we are so glad that she found such a great guy to spend the rest of her life with.

I got to have lunch with Tanya at our favorite spot, that neither one of us has been to since last time we were there together. Cheesecake Factory. We ended up spending over three hours just chatting. It's great to have friends that you never run out of things to talk about.

The beautiful, glowing bride!

Lynette was home this time when I showed up to surprise her. I miss her driving by my house with a big smile and honking!

Britta is another one of my sweet Young Women that was getting married the next weekend and my pal Sheila. Never a dull moment when she's around!

The main reason that I got to go to California, the company Christmas party. A very nice meal and then off to lazer tag! It was alot of fun and nice of them to invite me. Poor me, had to go! NOT!!

After several delays Sabrina and I made it home late and celebrated Nick's birthday and Christmas with Nick and Heather, since they were heading to Texas for the holiday!

I thought this was so funny when it came home in Isaac's homework folder. It was the week before's spelling homework. He apparently wasn't happy with the first staple, or the next, or the next...

Opppps, I did it again. McKayla thought she needed a brother for Vinny and had quite the delivery on the pitch! It was hilarious and not one that you could resist. Plus she is the best mom and these little boys adore her. Seriously, it's kind of pathetic. When she goes to school, Vinny sits by the door and cries for a few minutes then runs downstairs to her room and sits in his kennel until she comes back. It's almost like he's pouting. It's cute!

When we went to look at this little black guy, I feel in love too and of course couldn't just leave him there. Vinny really likes him and they play alot then nap together. Vinny has lost a few pounds from all the running around from this little guy. Dax can hold his own though, he's quite the wrestler. McKayla doesn't have enough lap for both of them though but she sure tries.

The traditional Gingerbread houses, we added a train this year.

My mom came for a quick visit and wanted to go see the lights at Temple Square. It was freezing and there were a million people but it is beautiful to see year after year.

I just love this! Beautiful!

Sabrina was in need of getting her tonsils removed and after two months of them being giant we went for it. She was seriously MISERABLE for a good 9 days. She is doing better now and starting to eat some real food. She lost 9 pounds, not that she had that much to loose in the first place. She has a list of food to eat when she is back in business.

Dax crawled in McKayla's sweatshirt like this on his own. He's a snuggler, or a mama's boy!

Isaac drank the last of the Apple Juice so I asked him to put the container in the dishwasher. This is what I found the next day AFTER I ran it. HMMMMM, never thought to give more instructions about maybe taking to top off. It was a great way to start the day though. I love the joy and laughter that little boy brings me.
