to my little sis

Okay I must be a brat for just one minute!! This is for my little sis.
Whenever we go to April's she makes us wonderful food!! When they come here they get pizza and doghnuts. Very exciting!! So she makes great cinnamon rolls but they don't always turn out perfect and they seem a lot of work.
Well here is one from the microwave queen!! Found these at Winco or Walmart. They are called "Monkey Bread". You open the box, take off the plastic and put the pan in the microwave. Two and a half minutes later you dump it upside down on a plate and hello you have this!!
They are yummy!!
Love ya Ape but sometimes microwave is just as good!! LOL!

Zac's Birthday activities!

So Zac's birthday was yesterday. We didn't do a big party this year just some small things with friends and family. Zac's friend Nathan came over Thursday night for a sleep over. They played video games, jumped on the tramp, played video games, played with toys, played video games and watched ESPN!! I think fun was had by all!! Then we went to McDonald's for lunch and Jamie joined us at the miniature golf place in Meridian. OK to be honest none of us are pro miniature golfers but we had fun!!
Then we took Nathan home and I had a little nap!! After Steve and Kelly got home we all headed out to Westy's bowling alley where we met up with Jamie and Zach!! We ate some food while we waited and then the bowling began!! It is amazing how good we all are!! NOT!! It's all about having fun right? We did some cosmic bowling (main lights out, fluorescent and blinking lights on, music blaring)!! I forgot how much fun that is!! We were dancing and being cRaZy!!! We had a blast and here are some pictures so you can see us being goofy!!

Oh as I look at the pictures I noticed a picture of Zach and Jamie's butts. Let me explain. I am always telling him he needs to grow a butt since he doesn't have one. In an attempt to make me happy he used Jamie's sweatshirt to try and make me happy!! Yes that is how much he has with a sweatshirt in his pants!! Thanks for trying Zach! Between you and Steve I feel like I have a huge butt!! Hate you both!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Just a quick note to all our friends and family!!
Wanted to let you know that you are thought about and loved all year long!!
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Love, Steve Tammy Jamie Cory and Zac

Superbowl Sunday!!

Superbowl Sunday!! Just wanted to give a shout out to all the Pittsburgh fans!! Congratulations!! Great game!! And don't be sad Arizona fans!! It was an amazing game!!

Emmett vs Middleton January 31st

Here we go Emmett here we go!! Chrissy, Keilani, Kelly, Mom and Dad all came to watch the game with us tonight. We had a hard loss but Cory had another 23 point game!! Keep your chin up guys!!
Afterwards some of us went back to Chrissy and Dave's for some rousing games of Nurts!! Thanks for inviting us guys!!

Emmett vs Bishop Kelly January 30th

Cory played at Bishop Kelly tonight!! We were very excited Mom and Dad came to watch. We lost but here are some great pictures of the guys working hard!! Go Huskies!!

Steve's trip to Denver

I forgot to tell you about Steve's trip. He went to Denver for a week for work!! He worked really hard and we missed him so I don't think he'll be allowed to leave again!! He brought home some cool pictures though.

Sarah's January 27th Basketball game

We hopped in the car tonight and headed off to Fruitland to watch Sarah play basketball!! It was Fruitland vs. Weiser. Great game and Sarah and Chelsea both played awesome!! Now I will admit I always have to look hard to tell them apart... can't they write it on their foreheads??..... so I will be helpful. Chelsea is number 22 and has a ponytail with a white rubber hair bandy thing....(sorry I can't think what it is called!!) and Sarah is number 12 with just a pony tail!! Great job ladies!! It was fun to watch!

Christmas with the hillbillies!!

First I have to start with a special note. Jessica had her first real dance. I got to help pick the dress and she was beautiful if I do say so myself!! I just want to brag about my gorgeous niece!!


Yes I know what you are thinking....."it is January 24th? What do you mean Christmas??" Well between school, work, trips and basketball we have all been so busy we haven't really had time to do Christmas together yet. So first thing Saturday morning Jamie, Zac, Zach, Steve and I (Cory was going to a Jazz game funny story....they broke down and Cory had to walk in the rain and then the car they got had a broken windshield where the snow came in while they were driving.....Cory didn't find it very fun but we laughed for him!!) loaded up and were off too Cascade for Christmas!!

We got there in time to watch a few minutes of Bailey's basketball game (Sorry B I didn't know it was in McCall!!) which she won!! Then all 14 of us trudged over to the pancake house for some crazy huge breakfast!! We all went back to Mom's for dinner, Wii, cards and PRESENTS!! The kids all seemed very happy with their gifts and then the fun began...............


April had the brilliant idea of buying all the kids silly string to open. I thought it would be a blast!! She started to chicken out..."take it outside" but I overrode her and away they went!! Well as you can see they attacked the parents first and then turned on the house and each other. Took a bit to clean up but boy did they have fun!!


After the festivities some of us retired to April's for the night where we played more cards, Wii and just messed around. Weird thing we were all having so much fun being together we never went out in the snow!! Crazy!!

Emmett vs Mountain Home January 23rd

What a crazy day. Zac to school and then I was off to work. Left early to swing by the airport pick up my honey who came home from Denver (that will be in the next post) and then off to school to pick up Zac. We went home, rested awhile and then it was off to Emmett for the game against Mountain Home. Crazy day!! Zac and I came out last night for the Baker game and it was amazing!! It was an action packed game that kept us on the edge of our seats!! Cory was on fire!! He had a great game! As well as the other guys. They just came out as a unit and performed wonderfully!! I was so proud!! We won 52-49!! Of course I didn't take pictures but I did give Steve a minute by minute update by text!! So anyway back to today! They played Mountain Home today and again the team just really pulled it together. Cory was making a crazy amount of shots ( I believe he had 25 points??) and we won again today 54-52!! What a game!! Great job guys!!

Emmett vs Columbia January 17th

Cory had a game against Colulmbia tonight in Emmett. Our friends Koli, Mike and Nathan joined us for yummy for Chinese food and the wonderful 45 minute drive to watch the game!! Thanks so much for coming it was a lot of fun! We lost 53-46 but it was a great game and Cory even signed Koli's waterbottle!! That could be worth money some day!!!

Emmett vs Kuna January 15th

Cory played Kuna tonight. We lost 51-36 but it is always fun to watch!!

January 14th....Hockey night!!!

Jeff's boss was kind enough to give him Steelhead hockey tickets!! Not only that he gave him 12 tickets and they were suite tickets!! Jeff was then kind enough to ask myself, Steve, Kelly, Yolanda, Christopher, Scott, Tina, Kristi, Sally and George to accompany him and April to the game. Hmmmmm a night out with adults!! Of course we were in!! It was so cool sitting up in the suite with tons of room to move around and hang out. Great view of the game!!! We had a blast!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INVITE JEFF!! I will put up pictures soon but sorry they aren't great but we took them with our phones!

Christopher's January 11th party

April, Jeff, Jessica, Josh, Bailey, Christopher, and Jared all came down the hill this weekend!! Ape and I surprised Christopher with a little bowling party for his 30th birthday!! We invited friends and family!! It was a lot of fun!! We ate, we bowled and we socialized!! Now being the failure I am I did lots of socializing and eating but no picture taking!! I apologize for that!! But thanks to everyone who came!! We it was nice to see everyone and we hope you had fun too. Oh by the way.... WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF THIRTY CHRISTOPHER!!!!

January 10th: Zac and the pitching machine!

Zac got a new pitching machine for Christmas!! He was oh so very excited to practice he couldn't wait any longer!! He packed it out to the back yard and was hitting the ball. Snow, Dark, Cold.....nothing can come between the boy and his sports!!
