Well we made it home

We are back from our trip and we had a great time. Wayne is threatening to sell the house and move to Cabo and do boat tours for a living. I posted a few pictures of some of our favorite things. We are already planning another trip back so let us know if you are up for it and would like to come.

Do they love us or their grandparents more?

This is the question I asked myself the other night. We leave for our trip on Friday and the kids can hardly wait. They are going to their grandparents for the week. I am torn between the excitement of the trip and how sad I am not to see my kids for a week. Apparently they just can't wait for us to leave. This should make me happy to know they will have fun while we are gone but I don't know if it does. They are even praying that the week goes by fast so they can go to Parowan! Sometimes I think that they really would move in with them if we gave them the option.

$200 FOR FREE!!

I have to tell you about the craziest thing that happened to Heather and I on Saturday night. Heather invited me to fill in for her friend at a bunco tournament in Mesquite (girls night out heck yea). So we went down and had dinner and did some gambling before. Heather and I love to gamble at the penny slots and the dollar tables we are way to cheap to go higher. We decided to try the 21 table and when we sat down 2 guys were putting down all these $100 bills and getting$100 chips I about died. I told Heather "do you know how many 5 year old I have to teach and how many hours it takes me to earn that much money and they are gambling it away" CRAZY! Anyways we played $2 at a time they played $400 and I guess some how we were helping them win. I don't understand it but the guy said "Are you guys from St. George" I guess we looked a little out of place. We said yes and kept playing. A few rounds later he threw down 2 $100 dollar chips and said "go have fun with your friends" and walked off. I was dying over it. Seriously who does that!! So I took a picture of them because I know I will never hold one of those again and sent it to Wayne on my phone. Of course he wanted to know what we had to do for the $200 (Nice husband). So we cashed it out and gave the other girls all $20 and spent $10 at the roulette table (Our favorite). It was so much fun. Thanks Heather for the great trip!

He's a New Man!!

Wayne has lost 45 pounds!! I am so proud of him. He had some shirts that have been in our closet that he called his "goal" shirts. He said he would know he had met his goal when they fit. He also came out the other night modeling his baseball uniform from high school. I mentioned once that I liked his butt in them. They fit but the farmers tan was making me laugh so hard. As soon as I can get him to pose for a picture I will do a before and after shot.

Malies Hair Donation

Malie has been growing her hair out for a few years so that she could donate it to be made into a wig for cancer patients. We finally got it long enough that it could be donated. We were going to use Locks of Love but they charge a fee for their wigs. I did some research and found that Pantene also does it but they give them away for free. Malie was so excited to finally cut it.

Aunt Alisha came over to do it. Pantene only wanted 8 inches so we were able to leave it longer than we thought.

After it was cut we mailed it off. They said it takes 6 hair donations to make 1 wig. If you know of anyone who is cutting their hair you might want to let them know about this.

Alisha styled it after and she looked so much older with it short. Thanks Alisha for the help and the cute hair!!

Family Christmas

I have decided to do a slide show about our Christmas and the things we have been doing on our days off. I have really enjoyed being home with the kids but I am afraid that it is going to be really hard on all of us when we have to go back to our crazy life in a few days. We just got back from visiting our parents and the kids had a blast in the snow. I hope everyone had a great Christmas!!
