Pirates Ahoy!

Max and Paige have been acting like Pirates lately. The other day, they were all decked out with their pirate swords, hooks, and hats. They love to chase each other around and they even talk like pirates by saying things like, " Walk the Plank" and "Aye..matey!". They are very entertaining.

I found a pirate tattoo laying around and thought Max would LOVE to put it on his arm. I proceeded to lift up his shirt and stick the tattoo on his arm and he went BALLISTIC! He started crying so hard you would have thought somebody was cutting a finger off! Now that it's been on for a couple of weeks he has really grown to like it. Now whenever I take his shirt off he flexes his muscles and starts talking like a pirate again. So now when he is 18 and wants to defile his body I will just show him this picture....

I know, I know...I'm WAY behind on my blogging. I have been swamped lately. Besides working 2 jobs, I am now the secretary in the primary, planning a conference for over 100 people, and trying my best to be a wife and mom. I think I am getting the primary stuff 'figured' out so I'm feeling a little less stress....just a little though. I can't wait until summer!!

We had a fantastic Christmas. It just gets more fun every year. The kids were an absolute blast. We stayed up late and made cookies for Santa, and in the morning Max even remembered to check to see if he ate them! (after staying up until 2:30 a.m., Santa was much too tired to even think about eating so I bagged them up and saved them for later...but Max thought for sure he gobbled them right up)

A couple of days after Christmas we took the kids to the Ogden City lights. We had so much fun. Paige insisted on walking the entire way even though there was tons of snow and ice. Have I mentioned before...she is so CRAZY ???

Trevor and I decided after Christmas that Santa forgot to get us Guitar Hero World Tour, so we went and bought it ourselves....I wonder if I could get reimbursed for that? Both Max and Paige have sure taken a likeing to it. This picture shows just how serious Max takes his drumming.
