Meet Maxine

She's a Sagittarius who enjoys men, late 80's T-bird's, a good boxed wine, and always a good time!

Cheers!

We all had so much fun dressing up in my mom's wigs! When times are tough you got to laugh, and laugh is what we do best!

first chemo

The first of February was my moms start of chemo. And I was so glad that I could be there for it. Paige came a few days later for her second round. Although she was getting hooked up with poison, we still managed to have some fun... nothing can really stop us women!

Chloe, me, Paige, and mom.

Me and mom.

Getting poisoned!

bring in the new year!

Partying up with a woman who just got home from surgery! Woo woo! The kids had a fun New Years at grammies and papa's!

Ben, Aidan, Joel, and Carter going crazy into the wee hours of the morning.

finally sitting up

Yes, at almost 7 months my baby girl hit a milestone she should have hit at about 5 months, sitting up. Ya, she may be a bit delayed, but she sure is cute! :)

haircuts

Surprisingly this was the first time I have ever taken the boys to get their hair cut. I normally just do it. So when I was home at Christmas time my mom and I took them. And they were awesome!

Carter before.

And Chloe just waiting with Grandma.

visit to Oakland Temple

When we were home at Christmas time we went and saw the lights at the Temple. This is also where Aidan thought that the animals ate baby Jesus. Let me explain, papa Mark and Aidan were looking at the nativity and Mark asked Aidan if he could see baby Jesus, in which case Aidan replied, "No, I think the animals ate baby Jesus." The nativity was all white and it was kind of hard to see who was who. We told Aidan if that had happened things would have turned out a bit different. Ha, ha!

Christmas morning

Their letters to Santa.

The boys were so excited. This year was really great because they were so into it! And to top it off, my mom was there to watch it all!
