Mya's First Christmas

We all had a lot of fun this year! We opened gifts and then headed down to Grandma Spits and Grandpa Hoss's home for breakfast! Yumm Yumm! We all opened gifts and enjoyed Lacey Chris and Coleman's company while they are visiting from Oklahoma! We then went and visited Grandma Alice and had a good time there as well. Kent enjoyed playing card games with his brothers and we spent time driving back and forth for dinner at my moms home and more games at Kents moms. Im just glad they only live a few miles away from each other. Last night it took us over an hour to drive the 25 miles home to Ogden! The roads were snow packed and you could not see the cars tracks in front of you because the wind was so bad. PS if you were the one driving in the little red Corvette last night thanks for almost killing us and everyone else on the road! There were huge wind diffs on the off ramp and we felt like we were on a roller coaster uuuuppp down... uuupp and down.... it was the craziest weather I have ever driven in! Well we were a bit sceptical if we would make it onto out dirt road beings that there are only 5 homes and none of the neighbors made a trip (so it seemed) so we trudged through the snow and made it to the driveway. Thank goodness we didnt slide off into the septic ditch in front of out neighbors house, YUCK! Thank you everyone for all the fun gifts.

Kent and I are getting into the Buying and Selling homes thing... And we would like to put a word out there that if any of you need to buy a home let us know because we are buying homes that were taken away from the owner buy the government and no they are not run down garbage, the ones we will be buying are going to be very nice expensive homes that we can get for a good price and turn around and sell. We have buyers online but if you are in need we can look for one just for you. Oh and the good news is we are going to be buying them in all states and any city so if you want a smokin price give us a ring!

My baby is growing up so fast! I feel like I am soon going to not remember the small things that she does with each new week in her developing little mind. I love my little baby so much! Oooo, Mya is in bed right now and seeing this pic makes me want to go get her out of bed and rock her! I love you sweetie!

Last night I was visiting my mom and dad. My mom wanted to come up to my home like she does almost every weekend, so as we were driving on the on ramp at 5th south in bountiful getting on to I-15 I was following a white F-150 truck and I noticed little round balls "at the time I thought they were rocks" flipping up and almost hitting my car. But they didnt look much like rocks more like BB's THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN HIS FRONT LEFT TIRE BUSTED OFF and went rolling into the grassy median and stopped just before it rolled into traffic. His left front end fell against the pavement and he went skidding along. I was so glad that this all happened at about 15MPH. Because if it had happened any latter I would have probably been in a bad crash along with lots of other cars. Well this guy who looked to be in his late 20's early 30's got out of his car and I asked if he needed any help. He just looked shocked and said "I dont know what happened!" I told him that I saw the BB's from his bearing scatter along the rode right before his tire busted off. The guy was shocked and said that he just picked up his truck from the shop and they were working on his bearings! "OOPS! if it were me I would be for having the shop pay for the tow and all the damage to my truck cuz they obviously didnt fix the problem." There was an Police Officer two cars behind me so he came and got the guys info so they could tow his truck and the guy then went and took out the cutest little 4 year old boy out of the back seat who was sobbing and freaked out! I could not help but ask them if they needed a ride somewhere. "His boy was just so darn cute I couldn't help but ask." Well he said they live up in Hooper which is about 30 miles away!!! Well they were in luck because I live right by Hooper! Come to find out they only live about 10 Miles west of my and so he got his kids booster seat situated and off er went. Colby the little boy calmed down shortly after his dad got in the car. Colby has on a big puffy hunting camo coat and cowboy boots so I said "Buddy I like your coat a lot.... do you like to go hunting?" Well that started up conversation for the rest of the ride home and when all was said and done I wanted to keep little Colby for myself!

My Christmas list for all my obscenely wealthy family and friends that don't know what to get!

Scenario 1: A black limousine runs over your left foot. From the capacious back seat, out pops a guy who looks familiar from those Microsoft “I’m a PC” commercials (he’s the one who wears glasses). “Let’s not bother with insurance companies,” the guy, Bill, says, and he hands you a check good for a few million bucks, drawn from his “incidental expenses account.”

Scenario 2: Turns out that the gawky kid who kept forgetting his lunch money in third grade was Sergey Brin. Sergey fondly remembers you sharing your Twinkies, and he sends you a few thousand Google shares, preferred, for Kwanzaa.

The details may vary, but you've undoubtedly had this fantasy: You’re suddenly rich! But what do you do with all that money? Use it to help humanity? Of course not! Like any self-respecting geek, you’ll want to redirect a sizable chunk of your windfall into tech toys.

But let’s assume that the experience of suddenly becoming obscenely wealthy hasn’t caused you to lose all function above the neck. You don’t want to throw ridiculous amounts of money at diamond-encrusted cell phones or gold-plated MP3 players. No, you want to throw ridiculous amounts of money at products that offer really cool (though not necessarily essential) technology and design. Get out your credit cards because here we go.

Okay friends, in case any of these fantasy's have come true in your life I have made a small and a rather inexpensive "for you" Christmas list in case you don't know what to get Kent and I.

Motorola Aura Cell Phone Price tag: $2000
Extravagant cell phones slathered in diamonds and rubies are one of the sure-fire technological tools for separating fools from their money. Exhibit A is Le Million from GoldVish Communications: $1.45 million and ugly, ugly, ugly!
The $2,000 you spend on a Motorola Aura may seem like chump change in comparison, but with the Aura, you actually get something useful for your dough. For one thing, there’s the 16-million-color, 300-dpi circular display. And Motorola seems to have lavished attention on the mechanism for opening and closing the Aura: “Custom-engineered rotating mechanism has 130 precision ball bearings that drive the assisted-opening blade -- like opening the door on a high-end luxury car.” The rotation mechanism has a Swiss-made main bearing and carbide-coated gears, too. Oh yes, and once you’ve lovingly rotated the Aura open, you can use it to place and receive wireless phone calls! --by Edward N. Albro, PC world

Cryonic Suspended Animation Price tag: $160,000
“You can’t take it with you.” As a rich guy, you’ll hear that often from your children, your elderly parents and other leeches and moochers trying to suck your fortune dry.
It may be true that you can’t take your money with you, but what if you never completely leave? That’s the idea behind cryonics. As the Cryonics Society of America describes the procedure, “at the time of deanimation” your body is cooled down and filled with a kind of antifreeze. Then you’re put in an insulated capsule and kept frozen with liquid nitrogen.
Once doctors figure out how to cure whatever killed you (and how to bring flesh Popsicle's back to life), they thaw you out. Then you can start suing whoever squandered your fortune during the intervening 1,000 years or so. -- by Edward N. Albro, PC world

Panasonic Pro 103-Inch Plasma TV Price tag: $69,995

One drawback of suddenly being richer than everyone you know is that you may become, well, an arrogant jerk. What better way to cut yourself down to size than with a really big TV?
With Panasonic’s 103-inch plasma-screen set, not only will movie stars be more attractive than you are, they’ll be bigger and perhaps even higher-def than you, too. Imagine a tight close-up of Daniel Craig in full James Bond glower spread across 7.5 feet by 4 feet of pixels. That’ll put you in your place. -- By Edward N. Albro, PC world
And if your ego can survive even that reality check, wait until next year when Panasonic releases its long-anticipated 150-inch plasma.

Moller M400 SkycarPrice tag: ?

The point of having vast coffers o’ cash, as any filthy-rich person will tell you, is to pay your way out of the mundane hassles that afflict the hoi polloi: traffic jams, military service, child rearing, flossing. Regrettably, aeronautics expert Paul Moller can’t help with flossing, but traffic jams he’s got covered.
Since 1962, Moller, a professor at the University of California, Davis, has been experimenting with fixed-wing planes that can take off and land vertically -- the perfect profile for the fabled flying car. The latest incarnation, the M400 Skycar, can carry four passengers as fast as 375 mph while cruising along at 13,200 feet. As the Moller site says: “No traffic, no red lights, no speeding tickets.” Also, one hopes, no midair collisions, no terrifying plummets to a fiery death.
The site calls the M400 “personally affordable,” but it doesn’t quote a price. We all know what that means: If you have to ask, you can't afford it. But you don't have to ask, do you? --By Edward N. Albro PC world.

Okay I guess I have asked for too much.... I guess Kent and I will be fine with just a Christmas card and a pic of the family.... Or a yummy box of Chocolates "individually raped in 12 KT gold leafing and in crested in diamonds" JK

The other day Kent and I went to see the newest addition to the family. His Brothers wife just had a brand new baby girl. While we were down there they kept telling us that in about 3 or so months Mya will be getting fun. "That would put her at 8mo." I said what do you mean and my sister in-law says well there like having a brick wall around until they can start to understand things and knowing what they need and want. So as I sat holding my new 2.5week old niece looking up at me with her big beautiful eyes I asked my sister in-law.... So, you dont talk to them or what?" She said no I cant, it is so hard for me to talk to them when they are young. I told her that I was reading stories to Mya when she was only a few weeks old and Every day I tell her what her daddy is doing at work and what her and her mommy are going to do today. Every time I get Mya out of her crib from a good nights sleep or nap I ask her if she had good dreams and when she replies back with a smile from heaven or a ga ga goo goo I say Oh really tell me more about your dream. I talk with Mya all day long. I look at her and the song You are my sunshine comes to mind. I was home all day with Grey Sky's and now she has turned them to colorful happy skys. My sister in-law was surprised that I can hold a conversation of some sort with Mya and I cant imagine going a hour without talking to her. I do admit there were days when she slept all day long that I would realize I had not said anything to her all day but she was asleep for the most part. Part of me feels so bad for my sister in-law and for her kids. Maybe that is why her 2nd is the same age as Laceys boy Coleman and she doesn't even talk yet. She will point and say aaaaa. That is it! Oh and she calls her mom and dad mammy. I think That Lacey gave me some of the best advice when she was at my home after Mya was born. Lacey told Kent and I to talk Mya though everything cuz it would sooth her. Lacey would show me how by talking Mya through putting on her clothes "okay honey we are going to put your arm in the sleeve now Oh, see thats not so bad huh baby Mya, now hand me the other one.... and so on and so on with each diaper change and spit up whipping I talked to her about everything I would do throughout my day. Thank you lacey for that wonderful advice. Mya talkes back in her little way all day and I love it. Mya is in no way a brick wall to me. In fact I dont think I have ever loved something or someone this much in my life. I remember Kent telling me that same thing after she was born... He said "honey I dont think I have every loved someone this much before." Part of me was upset because that meant not even me but I told him the other night as we went to bed that I was holding Mya and just looking down at her sweet face and started crying. I told kent I understand what he meant by what he said after she was born. She is my joy and light she is my sunshine and love. I hope like in her blessing that she will be my friend and we can turn to each other in our times of need. I love Mya and hope those with kids reading this feel the same about their child or children. They are sent from heaven from our heavenly father on loan to us for a short time. Lets talk and play and have fun with them every day we get.

Around nap time or late at night Mya will get punchy and just want to laugh at anything and everything. Debbie (mom) was on the computer at our home when she noticed Mya was staring off in the ozone with a glazed look... "I think she takes after me when she is ready for bed" SO Debbie started to make her laugh and she just went on and on.

Well Lawson I guess we lost! For all of you that may not know John Lawson after a lot of hard work converted me over to the BYU side of things when I was in High School. "Dont give yourself too much credit John, I did just about anything you or your wife said.... AKA PROM!" John always said he would have to sit down with my husband to be and make sure he was good for me............ HELLO, did you forget to ask if he was as Y fan? Thanks! Yes I do have to say that the rose colored glasses did give him a red tone to his skin but I didnt think much about it. Well its too late now! Kent has never been to a Football game before. Not even a high school game so we figured we best spend the big bucks and see the best game of the year. I was all dressed in blue and Kent wanted RED so we went to Wall*Mart to get Kent some UofU stuff. While there he said that he would pay me if I wore RED instead of BLUE. I said okay for $200.00 his answer was UM NO! SO after about 30 min we agreed that I would wear red for $120.00! DEAL!!! But see I was the smart one cuz I didnt pick a U of U sweater or shirt I went and got a grey T with a cute red jacket that I would have bought anyway! Oh and did I mention he didnt pay me enough to cheer for the U so the fans sitting around us were a bit confused when I was going for BYU and all dressed in RED. There were some Y fans behind us that we got talking to and I told them I was paid off to wear red. So when I asked a kid to take our picture the Y fan we had been talking to put his hat on me just in time for the pic. Everyone around us was laughing! Kent had a blast and Im not sure what he liked better... BOOING at every BYU fan that walked past while we were tailgating...... having his team win the game..... OR, watching the fans rush the field before the game was over! I think my favorite part was when BYU ran 70 yards on the 2nd play of the game my mom sent us a picture text of Baby Mya with blue BYU on her forehead. Kent said we are going to have to find a new babysitter. :) Kent said he is getting season tickets next year and so you all may see me sporting the red look on game day but Im still a BYU fan...

Here are some old and new pics of Baby Mya for those of you that have not seen her yet... AKA (Kimbie,Joey,John and Liz!!!) I have some cute dresses that I need to get pics of her in them and stuff but I dont know why I havent yet. My mom has a lot of pics on her camera but I dont have them on my computer yet. I will have to post some more when I get her camera.

Okhay jest so evereone knos... I CANT SPEL AND THIS IS NOT NOO NEWS TO MOAST OF YOU. I think it iz so dumm thet blogspot duz nut have spel chek. My qesiontion iz, iz a plane spelud plane or plain. Just keap reeding and you whill get waut i meen.

So today has been kind of crazy. I started a new Job subing for the crossing guards for the local Elem. kids! I love it, its not every day just when one of the ladies cant make it then they call me. It has been lots of fun and today was my first big oops! When I was a kid early out day in school was FRIDAY! Um, yeah not here! How crazy is this...... Early out is on WEDNESDAYS :( that dosent sound too fun to me but oh well. So I was thinking all day that I would go do my crossing at 3:45. I had writen down 1:10 but with all the crazy plane crash talk going on in my family I spaced it. Oh, You didnt hear... Well let me just update you on the news. So for the last two day I have been trying to get a hold of my brother Landon but all I get is his voicemail. Geerrr! So last night I called my Mom to see where he is and she says that he is with Nathan McGlaughlen (or how ever you spell it) and they were going out to the ranch. But nobody has heard from him. So thismorning my mom calls me with the news that the boys's friend that ownes a plane and was going to let Nathan "who flys" and Landon take the plain to his ranch in Manti Utah.
My mom had a bit of panic in her voice and said that a plain went down yesterday and the two bodys are so badly burned that they have not yet identified the bodies. We could not get a hold of Landon or Nathan. Between Chris my Brother in Law and myslelf we kept up on the news and found out that the owner of the plain is named David. And the plain that Landon was on is owned by Larry. So my heart rate is back to normal and yes I was a bit side tracked and forgot that today was early out day. No we have not heard form the boys yet but we are 99% sure they are safe! My prayers are with the familys who lost their loved ones today in this accident!

Mya has been able to balance for about three weeks now. Kent hated at first the thought of me doing this with her. So I would practice while he was gone at work. She gets better every day. Next time my mom is up with her camera I will get an updated version. After balancing for a little while I toss her in the air like a cheer-leader and she loves it!

Its been a long time but I have been told by a lot of you that I should get online and post some new stuff on my blog. But Im not that good at it. I get stressed out and it is not the funnest thing for me to do. Truth is I rather do the dishes and laundry (yuck) then try to figure this blogger stuff out but I will give it another try. I did however figure out how to get a new background on my page thanks to a link on landons blog! You can get there from my blog too now. I think it has the best backgrounds out there and you all should get on and take a look.

While in Moab my dad found a tractor just like the one he drove when he was a child and so we took some pictures and I think that was his favorite thing on the trip.

I dont know how this is all going to look once it is done but I thought I would put some pictures of our last Moab trip on for you all to see. Kent had is half brother Elden and their friend Dallon come. We also invited my mom and dad so that I would have someone to hang out with while the boys were out wheeling. By the way the date on Kents camera is set wrong so it says this was in 2004 but it was just a month ago.

This is Kent having fun on the four wheeler. My mom was over and those who know Debbie know that she loves yard work and when she gets an idea in her head she does it. So she was out in the front yard looking around and turned to me and said "why dont you just pull that bush out?" Um okay! So Kent goes and jumps on the wheeler out it came. I have to admit it was somthing we have wanted to do but it would not have gotten done unless mom was there to get us going on the yard work. THANKS MOM!
