2008 Christmas Card

O.K I should probably not put this story on the web because 1- Jaxon is going to kill me. 2- It might be a little inappropriate, whatever But hear me out if any person says one word about this to Jaxon I will personally hunt you down and it won't be pretty.
So out of all our children Jaxon has the smallest blatter (see we are going scary places). Dallin and Macie could both drink a gallon of pop right before bed and I wouldn't worry but if Jaxon has one sip he is going to be up during the night, and like his father he is not going to be held accountable for his action because he might be up but he is not conscious, regardless if his eyes are open and he might even be talking, but he is still asleep.
So about 2am Monday night I hear him get up to go to the bathroom and I quickly send John so that he will open his eyes and aim. John comes back smiling and I asked what happened and he tell me Jaxon wasn't such a good shot but he started to be impressed because after he finished he reached for the toilet paper and John thought wow he is going to clean up after himself i new I was raising this boy right. But oh no he doesn't clean up after him self he wipes his bottom (which wasn't the dirty area) then threw the T.P. on the ground then went back to bed. I know there are like a million problems with this story. But I can't help it I can't stop laughing Jaxon kills me. I busted up all night then the next day while I am scrubbing bathroom floors I can't help but chuckle.
I couldn't ask for a better first child he is so good and responsible always looking after his brother and sisters. I love this kid....


p.s please don't turn me into the blog police I really do love my children and try to do all I can to make sure there need are met and they are taken care of.

Stubborn Macie

When I say you can't leave the table tell you finish you dinner I mean it. Macie has started to be picky with her food and won't eat dinner then 10 minutes later she is hungry go figure. (she gets that from me) So Last sat. night I layed down the law and told her she couldn't leave the table tell she finished (I am so mean sometimes) I had to run to the store and when I got back this is what I found. I think John forgot about her. She was out for the count. So I let her down and she didn't even finish. She seems to always get her way. Man I love this girl!

Jaxon phone manners

So Monday night the family was going out for family night and the kids were excited. And John was running late so Jaxon got the phone and called him (without my knowledge) and I hear in the other room I'm sorry I must have a wrong number. Then I talked to jax and was quizzing him on what was happening and he said he got this man who said his name was bob. I hit redial and it looked like Johns number so I told Jaxon it was his dad and he must have just been playing a joke on him. So Jaxon calls back and this is how the conversation goes " Hey Dad I mean bob this is your son Pedro when are you going to be home' I am just kidding its me dad, come on dad it s me DAD" " MOM dad just hung up on me ! So I looked at the number again and sure enough he had dialed it all wrong instead of ###-###8 he dialled ###-###0 . Sorry Bob. John and I did have a good chuckle at that though. so then at 7:15 this morning the phone rang twice and sure enough it was bobs number. I am sure it was an accident. Whatever!

p.s. Macie took this photo and is way proud of it.

Tag

My Sister in law Maridyn Tagged me and I was supposed to post the 4th picture in the 4th folder on my computer and this is what it was My cute Dallin cheesing it in the car. Their really isn't much to say about the picture except that he has grown up alot this pic was in 06. He has lost those cheeks. He makes me smile and laugh every day.
I probably did this all wrong but what ever, send the tag blog police after me I dare you. I tag Breck, Amy, Jill Kemp and Jill Scott so take that Ha , Ha.

Hip Hip Horray Halloween is OVER!!

Halloween is so fun, but this year it felt like it lasted a year instead of one day. How my kids costumes made it through the week in one piece surprised me. They had a blast! The three oldest had school parties which was fun and then we hit the ward party then off to grandmas house in Utah for there cousins baptism. Which meant that they got to go trick or treating with grandma and all there cousins on the Nelson side more fun than we could handle.

LIFE IS GOOD!

I couldn't turn the picture I am not that smart but GRANDMA ROCKS!! How cool is she I am just sad because this picture does not do her justice you needed to see her on her Harley (a scooter that has a great paint job.) It doesn't get much cooler or funner than Grandma Zeffie!!!!

Here are all the grand kids on the Nelson side it is not very often we have them all together we usually are missing one or two. And what a quiet peaceful house grandma has when we are all there!

THE 08"S

Sammy, Ava , Mya, Addy and Austin this year we added a litter to the Nelson side. Mya didn't want to enter this world on her own so she brought 4 built in friends all born within a couple months. It is so fun to get them all together I can't wait tell there all toddlers how crazy will that be. The order is Addy who is in bright pink and belongs to my brother Mac. Then Mya , Then Ava In green and belongs to Kam and is still upset with Mya cause she was supposed to come first. Then Sammy in the purple and she belongs to D.G. Then Austin (tigger) who is Brecks. What fun, Grandma couldn't be happier or prouder.

Can't wait for next Halloween!

What the #%$#$#%#

So I have a bone to pick with whoever though it was a good idea to have a holiday where we all have to dress up, that's absolute madness!

I was stressed about this Halloween party that John and I had to go to. I had no blasted idea what we should be, there are times in my life where I feel I can and do a decent job at being creative, but this wasn't one of them. I could not come up with anything, I thought about being secret service agents (that would be fun we could wear sunglasses and pack some heat) but John said we would have to wear black suits, which he does not own, so out with that. We could always be vampires but I did not want to be compared to the twilight vamps so that was out. Then my mom said we should go as Sunny and Cher and I that was a great idea, but the problem there is Cher is tall and skinny and Sunny was short with brown hair. I am not tall and Skinny but ah ha John is he could be her how hilarious would that be and I could get a mustache and be sunny ( I do have brown hair) But John has some crazy issue with cross dressing, whatever..

So with an hour left to the party and a sale at shopko and this is what we end up as eeeek!!! You know the problem is that I got ready fast and didn't really look in the mirror below my waist. One of my pet peeves is those girls or women who wear short shirts with there guts hanging out but they think they are so so sexy. Do they look in the mirror! (Maybe I should be impressed that they don't care what people think and that they feel good about themselves) I have a good concept of what my body looks like and I know that I have some good size thighs so what was I thinking when I dressed them up and put shinny sequins on them like hello hear comes Mattie legs. The sad thing was that I really was not shy or self concious like I should have been I had a fun night then got home and screamed at John for letting me out of the house. Well whatever, I guess we all need a before shot.

John did look awesome he rocked that look and was way fun about it. What a good sport. Well Happy Halloween and if anyone needs to borrow a costume give me a call..

My blog background

I made the mistake of giving my mother my login stuff, and look what she did to my background.  (Love ya Mattie, Mom)

John Thinks He is so Funny

So when John and I got are cell phones he had mine for one day and recorded the voice mail message, it said you have reached "John Weatherly " and I never changed it because I hate my voice on any messages. It annoyed John and he always threatened me that he was going to change it. Well, 2 years later he decided to follow through.  He said he had listened to his voice enough and he did change it (turkey).  But, how often do you call your own phone and listen to the message? Well, I'll tell you.   Never! Finally, someone called me on the home phone and was laughing and told me about it. It said " I am sorry Mattie can't come to the phone right now her phone is probably in the car or else lost somewhere, if she ever finds it she might get back to you, but good luck with that."

The sad thing is most of the time I do leave it in the car and it does happen to get lost a lot. He calls me a lot during the day and sometimes he has a hard time getting hold of me...  Whatever.

So I changed the message so it was the computer that said leave a message.  Then I lost my phone again and he changed the message one more time (don't worry the phone always shows up).  I found out because another friend that had called my cell then called the house told me. Same old dog - but new trick.  This time it said " I am sorry Mattie can't come to the phone, but it' s once again either lost or she is really tired and doesn't want to come answer it."  He thinks he is Hilarious.

Now my phone just says Mattie Weatherly, but it is his deep voice.  I am glad I can keep him so entertained!  He just calls to talk to me cause he says I'm the only sane person he talks to all day.  The fact that he thinks I am sane is a good thing - I still have him fooled!

Its all up hill from here

So Monday afternoon it was my turn to pick up Jaxonand his friend Gavin from basketball. Jaxon, Dallin, and Gavin were all in the back seat shootin the bull about who knows what and Macie starts yelling at Gavin " Gavin, Gavin" That went on for a while until Gavin finally answered and said "what" Macie proceeded to ask if he liked her hair. He said "ya" (with the roll of his eyes) and then went back to talking with the boys. While staring at Gavin she rested her head on her hand then proceeded to sing to the radio, singing " Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you, over again. Don't make me change my mind, or I won't live to see another day I swear its true .." She kept singing word for word as loud as she could. I think Gavin tried to pretend not to notice. I wouldn't be suprised if his mom calls me up to tell me Gavins not allowed to ride in my car.

Now, isn't it a little early for this? I thought boys had cooties. Why why can't they just have cooties. I told John about it and he said I am not allowed to listen to the radio in the car anymore. Hello, I don't think that is the problem!! Well good luck to us, I guess.

Wednesday it was my turn to drive and I went and picked up Chandler and he got in the back and started to talk to Jaxon. New boy same old Macie. She once again started to yell his name, So I turned off the radio as fast as I could and told her she is no longer allowed to talk to her brothers friends we'll see how long that lasts. Funny girl.

Last weekend my mother, brother, and his wife came up to Idaho. We had such a good time. There is nothing sweeter than family. I have missed Mac, he is my baby brother. He has been playing baseball all over the country this summer. It was fun to listen to all his games on the internet. He is not just an amazing Baseball player he is an amazing man, with the sweetest wife and baby. I think Mya misses her Addie Lou (Mac's baby). I know I miss them all.

Mya Jane

My Sister Breck requested some more pictures of Mya my 19.2 lb tank. She is such a happy baby and why shouldn't you be if you had this may rolls. It makes me happy too.

She does have a secret roll under her diaper but I didn't post it just in case the blog police come .

She is so fun and she is such a good baby. She loves us all but when her daddy walks in a room her eyes light up.

DON'T MESS WITH DALLIN

Dallin played a great game last sat. He is really good on the line. He knows how to block, sometimes he just wouldn't know when to stop blocking . He also likes to get one last shove in. I don't know if football is the right sport for him. We might have to try golf.

Dallin is in the middle with navy blue hat white shirt red sleeves and light blue pants.

Sat. night before bed The boys and I started a new book and Jaxon got so excited he said "Well here goes our next great adventure." I couldn't help but smile and be excited for the next adventure his enthusiasm is contagious. I love that he loves to read, and hope its is the books not his mom that gets carried away in the book and lets them stay up past there bed time. We read Eragon together and it was fun. He likes to brush my hair while its my turn to read and I brush his head while it is his turn (sometimes I take extra long turns reading, because I like it.) I hope he always has a passion for books. It is going to take us a while to get through this one. I absolutly get into the books as well and have a hard time waiting for him and not reading when he goes to bed. I 'll try to be a more patient mom.

all cut up

So last Tues. John was chasing Macie around the couch and I was sitting on the floor next to the fireplace and Macie ran to me and was sitting on my lap then stood up and tripped over my leg and hit the fireplace. So a lot of blood and eight stitches later we were home. It always has to be me she couldn't of hit the fireplace while John was chasing her it was while she was on my lap. I have the worst luck!
She was super brave is it sad that she knew what to expect? While the Dr. was giving here shots to numb her up she didn't even flinch there were tears coming out of her eyes but she didn't move or make a sound I don't think I would've held that still. It broke my heart to see her in pain and being so brave. Macie is truly a strong girl.
O.K I Was so excited yesterday at church because the girls were twiners. I love it. I think if they had the dress in my size I would have worn it to maybe, maybe not. John gave me grief but it was worth it. They were so cute. I know this picture is a little blurry but Mya's smile is so cute I had to post it!

John

So I have made a few of bad choices in my life, But of all the things I've done wrong, I did this right!! I married John Weatherly And my life has literally been a piece of cake ever since. He is amazing he is funny constantly keeping me on my toes, I could never say my life was boring. He makes me smile every day. He truly loves our children and seeing that makes me love him more. He makes us all better people and unless you want me to get really sappy on ya I better just stop now. Just know life has taught me a lot and I will never take anything for granted especially him!!!

my pride and joy

I have been looking at so many other peoples blogs lately and decided that it was time to start my own. One of the greatest joys in my life and biggest responsibilities is to be a mom. It is not something I take lightly and I never want to forget what they are doing and the different stages of life we are in, and what we are going through so maybe this will help us remember. And it might be fun for others to check in as well, and see how we are doing. I am a lucky mom that I get to watch these kids grow up. I truly am witnessing something great and I can't wait to see what the future holds for all of us.

I have 4 children My oldest is Jaxon (8) Dallin (6) Macie (3) and Mya ( 5 months)

O.K. So who ever said that flag football wasn't a contact sport was wrong I think its probibly harder than tackle. These kids need pads! Jaxon and Dallin are both playing and it is fun and scary to watch. Last game Jaxon tackled a kid and then ripped his flag off. The coach had to talk to him. (I think John was proud should I be worried about that?) It is probibly all those BYU football games he has gone to with his dad. Dallin played really good as well, he was playing defensive line and got the quarterbacks flag twice one time pushing him almost into his endzone. Flag football is not for the light hearted.

Dallin is the kid taking down the red head in the green shirt.
