Baby Boomerang.

My Uncle Mark and my Aunt Camille and my Grandma Arnett are coming to Utah for the LDS film festival and they will be staying with ME.  I'm really looking forward to their visit and so are my kids!  Everyday Reagan asks me, 

"When is my Great Grandma going to get here?"

My Uncle Mark made a documentary film about my Grandfather Charles Arnett and his World War II experience called Baby Boomerang.  It took him 14 years to make this film and he completed it just 1 week after my Grandfather passed away last March.  The film is really quite good!  My Uncle is a very talented, creative and funny person.  His film has been chosen to be in the 2009 LDS film festival.  The festival is this week and Baby Boomerang will be shown on Saturday, January 24th @ 12:00 noon At the SCERA Center for the Arts in Orem (745 South State Street, Orem, Utah).  Tickets are only $4.00 each.  We are hoping that anyone and everyone will attend.  If there is anyway you can make it, please do!

Tickets can be purchased at the door or on line at scera.org

I was on my friends blog and she had a link to www.piggiesnponies.blogspot.com on her blog.  I clicked on it and found the cutest blog for anyone that has a girl!

It has one cute hair do after another!  Lately Reagan has been a little difficult when it comes to doing her hair.  I showed her the blog and let her pick a hair do.  This is the one she picked!  I think it turned out pretty cute!  Reagan sat extremely still for me and she was so excited about her new do!  When I got done and took pictures of her hair, she insisted that we need to have our own special blog of hair do's!

I'm loving this messy bun too!  

Ethan is a winner!

The other day Ethan received a package in the mail.  I couldn't think of what it could possibly be.  When I gave him the package he couldn't think of what it could possibly be either.  Then he opened it up and remembered that he had entered a Viking Penguin Giveaway Contest a few months ago on Club Penguin.  He was so excited!  This was a limited edition Viking Penguin and only 3000 kids all over the world would receive one!  He couldn't believe that he had actually won one!  And it was absolutely free!  He said, "Mom, we didn't even have to pay shipping and handling or anything!  It was totally free!"  Ethan was beaming!  They couldn't have picked a better kid or a better Club Penguin fan to give this Viking Penguin to.

Congratulations Ethan on your big win!

My brother is just about to open the 1st of 6 spas in Arizona.  It's called frespa!  While David and I were in Arizona we got to take a personal tour of the Mesa Red Mountain location.  It was awesome!  I think that the membership club and refer your friends and spa for free program is an extraordinary concept!  I wish I was living by a frespa so that I could spa for free.  Heck I think that most of us probably spend $90.00 on ourselves every month without even realizing it!  Hair, nails, massage, tanning...  This spa is like going to a resort!  They even have an area with free soda and frozen yogurt for the members to enjoy while hanging out with their friends watching the flat screen.  I am so excited for Christopher and his new adventure ahead of him.  If you live in Arizona you should really check it out!  If you go to his website, www.frespa.net click on the $19.99 full hour massage offer.  It's an introductory offer to give you a taste of what frespa is all about.  It's a great deal!  If you don't live in Arizona but live in Utah, check it out because if the spas do well in Arizona they will be coming to Utah next!  I can hardly wait to spa for FREE!

Cardinal update.

The Cardinals beat the Panthers in their second playoff game and now they will go back to their home turf and take on the Eagles this Sunday.  If they win they will be going to the Super bowl!

Wow!  

Way to go Cards!

Cardinals game!

While we were in Arizona David and I went to the first ever Cardinal Playoff game.

We couldn't believe the sea of red in the stands!  Arizona has turned Cardinal Crazy!  When we left Arizona to move to Utah I don't think that I actually knew of anyone who owned a Cardinal jersey or anything Cardinal for that matter.  The stands were packed and I think everyone there owned their very own $60.00 Cardinal jersey!  Impressive!  It's amazing what winning will do to  a town!

David and I hadn't ever been to the new stadium.  It was awesome!  A retractable roof and a retractable field with real turf!  Everything was state of the art.  

We watched as two drunken fans got in a fist fight over who knows what.  A few guys behind us started talking smack back and forth to each other and then turned into friends buying each other beers.  Complete strangers were giving us high fives and hugging and kissing their loved ones with every good play!  It was a fun night filled with some great entertainment!

The Cardinals beat the Falcons and now they're on to their second playoff game in Arizona history!

 GO CARDINALS!

Talan's 1st birthday!

For Talan's first birthday we did a combined party with his cousin Abraham who was born just 18 hours after him.  We went to Peter Piper Pizza and on the way to the party I realized that I had picked the worst time possible to have a party for a 1 year old.  NAP TIME!  What was I thinking?

At first Talan was not so sure about any of it!  

Grandma tried to put him on some of the fun little kiddie rides and he wanted nothing to do with it!

He enjoyed walking around and checking everything out though.

He liked the prizes!

And then he took a special liking to the ice cream truck ride.  

It was just his size!  He could climb in and out of it on his own!

So cute!  

Then it was time for cake.  

I decorated the boys this Winnie the Pooh cake.

Staci and I are so happy to have boys so close in age.  

Time to blow out the candles!  

This was something that they both didn't understand at all.  

We gave the boys each there very own HUGE piece of cake!

Talan was obsessed with his fork.  He insisted on eating his cake with his fork.  He was actually quite clean with his piece of cake.  Abraham on the other hand loved using his hands.  He made a huge mess and when he was all done he put his plate on top of his head!  Too cute!

After a little while of not getting very far with his fork, Talan decided to dive right it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TALAN!

Talan has been an absolute blessing to our family.  We are so happy that we have him and we enjoy him every single day!  I just couldn't imagine our lives without him!

We love you Talan!

The Post Adair family Christmas party.

On Monday December 29th Jeannine hosted her annual Adair family Christmas party except for this time it was POST Christmas!

The Adair family is one family not lacking in the boy department.  The boys all had a good time hanging out just being boys!

We ate the traditional 'LOTS OF GOOD FOOD' meal.

And then grandma Adair had a fun activity that we all could enjoy.  We played Christmas songs using metal pipes of different lengths with really big nails.  My kids loved it!  I'm thinking that I need to get me a set of those pipes because that's a talent I think our family could develop!

The kids were in heavy concentration as they played their pipes!

Then we busted the pinata!  Talan got to go first!

It was a lot of fun!  For Jeannine Christmas just doesn't feel like Christmas until she has had her annual Adair family Christmas party!  I'm glad that she did it this year and I'm glad that she waited until after Christmas so that we could attend.

The things kids say...

Carsten:  Reagan has buck teeth!

Me:  No she doesn't!

Carsten:  Yes she does!  Look at her front teeth, 

                 they are bigger than the rest.

Me:  Just wait until your big teeth come in, 

         they will be a lot bigger than that!

Carsten: Look, these parent teeth have already 

                come in and they aren't that big!

Me:  Your parent teeth?

I guess if they start out being baby teeth, 

why wouldn't they be called parent teeth!

Christmas all over again!

When we got to Arizona we had Christmas all over again!  The Grandmas went over and above the call of  GRANDCHILD SPOILER!  My mom gave each of the kids a book and a $25.00 gift card to spend at Walmart.  We went on a little shopping spree and it's amazing what you can get for $25.00!  The kids were thrilled!

Then at Grandma Adair's house all the kids got ASU shirts and PJs.  The kids are turning into pretty avid ASU fans these days.  I think they like to be able to claim a team that's all their own!
