My Little Chef

So as you all know, I go to work early in the morning. Usually Jackson is just getting up for the day when I am taking off. The last couple of days, he has been getting up early, so he can make a home lunch. Tuesday was the first day and he was so proud of himself that he saved half the sandwich for me to try. This morning I got to see him in progress, so I caught it on film. And he wants to make sure that I know all his friends love it.

Here is the Recipe:

• cut off the crust (of course)
• 2 pieces of sliced cheddar cheese
• ketchup
• slice of turkey
• a couple of pepperoni slices inside of the turkey
• little bit of Tabasco sauce, on the turkey
• then some shredded cheddar cheese

Madison's Birthday

Monday, November 3 was Madison's 39th birthday. I have been planning for this day for a while. I was so excited to give Madison all his gifts. He has always spoiled me on every birthday, so he deserves only the best. I am pretty sure that he was very happy with how the day turned out. I am a week late on the blog. Oh well at least I got it up. I gave him presents all day long. He got to wear his new outfits for the day. When he came home from work that night he pulled up and his new bike was waiting for him. He was completly surprised. Then I took him out to dinner with some of our friends. We went to the new Texas Roadhouse in Bountiful. They made Madison get up on the saddle while we all sang. The day was pretty much perfect!

Cute Little Birthday Cake!

Monarch of The Seas - First Cruise

September 26 - 29

Madison and I had a great opportunity to go on our first cruise.  Madison had to teach a scrapbooking class, so we got to enjoy a little vacation.  We had so much fun sailing the high seas. Friday afternoon we left Long Beach, CA and headed south to the border.  Saturday morning we were in Ensenada, Mexico.  We rented a Rhino and drove all around the city.  Went up the hill, feeling like we were going to tip over backwards and roll down the hill.  That night we set sail out into the Ocean.  All day Sunday we hung out 28 miles off the California shore.  Only to end up heading back to Long Beach throughout the night.  Monday morning, all over.  Well sort of. All day on Monday we hung out in Long Beach.  Took a little trip to see the Queen Mary.  Did I mention that we met up with Madison’s long lost brother?  Yes, as you can see from the pictures we found someone that looks just like Madison. Layton and Nerrell(????spelling) became our new best friends.  They are from Australla and had just gotten married 2 weeks earlier.  They just happened to end up on the same cruise as us.  Seriously, Layton and Madison look the same and have the same personalities.  I guess we have our next vacation planned.  Heading to the OUTBACK MATE!!!

Wow! All day Saturday was a big party. Jackson turned 9 on Friday, September 12th and we celebrated on Saturday. I rented a big Sponge Bob bouncehouse and all his friends came over. Paige and I spent all Friday night frosting 47 cupcakes into Baseballs. After all the kids left on Saturday we had another BBQ to celebrate with my family. I think that Jackson is loved and very spoiled.

Weekend Visit With Cooper

Kesha & Cooper

This past weekend Madison and I took a trip to Colorado Springs to visit with Cooper. So Friday night after work we got on a plane and were off. Cooper was there at the airport waiting for us to get there. He was so excited for us to be coming. He knew that we would be going to our favorite hotel with the waterslide. We spent the morning on Saturday playing on the slide. Then Cooper spent most of the rest of the trip sliding. I took him to Target and bought him a Halloween Costume, Scooby Doo! As always it was hard to say good-bye. Madison just tells him that we will see him soon. And we will....soon.

ALL MADISON

Well today Madison was sad that there were not very many pictures of him on our blog. So here are a few pics of just him. Sorry honey. Enjoy the pics, he's a cute one.

Here he is losing all our money in Vegas

Good-Bye for this year





So I took another day off to play! Yeah! I took Jackson up to Bear Lake for a long weekend. A bunch of my family joined us up there. Jeff & Paula, Jared & Jill, Brad & Amber, John & Holly, my mom & dad, and of course all the kids. Well I guess I can’t really call Kelsey a kid anymore, she is 20 years old and brought her boyfriend up for the weekend. I’m not sure if that is what I can call him yet, oh well he is nice and was fun to have up there. It was just like old times, except Amber and I did not go to the Sweetwater dance on Saturday night. Good thing though, we didn’t need any funny Logan boys hangin’ outside our door. Jared and I kept up the tradition of getting on the wave runner for the sole purpose of going really fast and crashing into the water. Although it seems that it was much easier to get on and off the wave runner when we were15 & 17, instead of now being 10+ years older. I am so proud of my little Jackson, he got up on ski’s and on the wakeboard. He just wanted to keep trying and trying. I am convinced he is part fish! To sum it up, it was a GREAT weekend and we’re planning on heading up again next year!
