{Eclipse}

Well another Twilight movie has come and gone!  It was a great movie!  It wouldn't be complete without the girls and our FAMOUS shirts :)

Malinda, Steph and I rode together.  This was us getting to the theater.  SO excited!

Eclipse was all about the Vampires and Werewolves coming together to protect Bella

The front of our shirts say

THIS IS WAR

And the back was the date

6.30.10

Thanks girls for a FUN night!

Love your guts!

My good friend has a blog where she sells these amazing scrapbook kits!  They are a no brainer!  She already puts the hard work into finding the product and designing the layout...all you have to do is put it together!

Check her out!

{McKay}

Oh McKay....what am I going to do with you.

I love turning on my camera and having an extra picture I didn't know about!

Not sure when he took this of himself but it is a PERFECT example of his personality right now. Obsessesed with his hair!  He actually agrees with me that it is a little too long so we will be getting a TRIM not a haircut...he panics when I say haircut  So funny!

  And now he is starting to use my flat iron!

{Father's Day}

With Dave working retail it really isn't easy to plan anything.  I guess one thing I need to plan on...most likely he will be working holidays.  Father's Day was no exception.

I made a nice yummy roast beef dinner on Sunday and thought why not take it to him rather than have him come home at midnight and eat it.

The kids thought that was a great idea!  We got a picnic basket and loaded it with real plates and silverware...only the best for our favorite man!

We love you so much Dave!  You are an amazing husband and father...the kids are so lucky to have you. 
And I am pretty lucky too!

{Skate Park}

Ok...no more Debbie Downer!  Things are good...I had my temper tantrum. :)

On Saturday I was a good mom and took the boys to the skate park in American Fork and sat in the blazing heat for 4 hours.  I was worried that the boys would think it was lame to have their mom sit at the skate park but they didn't care.  It's good that I am still "cool"

And this one cracked me up!  Gotta love McKay's long hair flying in the wind!

{12 Years Old}

              2004                                 2010

12 years ago today I was drinking caster oil to trigger my contractions....didn't work!

12 years ago today I was admitted at 7:30am to the hospital for high blood pressure.

12 years ago today at 12:30pm I was still in labor and not progressing AT ALL

12 years ago today at 6:00pm I was still in labor

12 years ago today at 9:30pm I gave birth to a TINY 5 pound baby boy that made me BAWL my eyes out as soon as they put him in my arms.

That time of our life seems just like yesterday and it makes me sad how fast we want them to grow up...I wish he was just little again and would cuddle with me while we watched Toy Story. (his favorite show when he was little, he would watch it at least 5 times a day)

Now McKay is my teenage boy. 

He is well liked by GIRLS
Anything he puts his mind too he makes it happen
His 6th grade teacher gave him the Energizer Bunny award because he can't sit still
He is very stubborn. 
He is very coordinated and does well with 4 wheeling, skateboarding, biking etc...
He is a picky eater.  Any junk food, candy or meat he will eat.  No veggies or fruit for this kid!
He is a bottomless pit.  He can eat a HUGE meal and be hungry an hour later
His favorite place to eat is any buffet.  Golden Corral, Chinese Buffet
He is obsessed with how he looks.  He has this idea in his mind how he should dress, how he should do his hair and it is torture for him to look any other way....insert once again stubbornness here
His idol is his dad
He is shy
He loves watching Nitro Circus and Spongebob
He is very responsible and has a good head on his shoulders.  I can trust him and hope it stays that way
He loves his brother...even though they fight I know that they would be lost without each other

McKay David Horlacher.   I love you and am so blessed and proud to call you my son!

{Memorial Weekend}

We had a great Memorial Weekend!  Time spent together!  Dave was lucky to have Sunday and Monday off so we took full advantage!

Sunday we packed up the boys and went to the Sand Dunes

On Monday we went up to Midway and had a really fun BBQ at Lynn's house and went to the cemetary.

Finished the day off with another BBQ at our good friends Johnny and Ruthanne's house.

I'm so blessed to have such great family and friends around me!
