Holiday Spirit!!!

So a few of our holiday activities this December month was driving around the night before Christmas Eve and looking at all the lights and snowman! It was so much fun... some houses were decked out! One house we went to had its lights flickering on an off to music... that was so cool I have no idea how they do that!!!

.

That night we went around to look at lights we were babysitting my nephew Tallon, he is so cute and he loves McKay! I got so many comments walking around with him on how cute he is! They all thought he was mine... I was happy to accept that!!!

.
I also went sledding with my brother Isaac one day while Kay was at work! It was a ton of fun!!! I wore my dad’s huge snow boots and they wouldn’t stay on! They were so hard to walk in!!!

.
...and the next post is a slideshow of all these activities I just mentioned… kinda random photos I know! I actually have a lot more to post about Christmas but I’ll do that another day!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAYS!!!

Well we just wanted to give a shout out to Isaac (12 years old today) and Brett (we won't mention!)! Happy Birthday you two! You guys are great brothers and we hope you have a GREAT day and a wonderful new year at an older age!!! Party Hard!!!...Love McKay and Amanda

Christmas Time is Near!!!

Well I can't even begin to say how excited I am for the Holiday season this year! One it means school is at a close for a bit, second get to be with family and three McKay and I's first Christmas together!!!... Well I had all my gift ideas figured out way early this year... like in September! I had them all bought and done this last week!!! So I do not have to worry about that anymore!!! Which helps me just enjoy the rest of the season!

Just to let you all in on our activites so far we have been very busy!!! We got a cute tree put up in our apartment and still trying to get the lights up! We had the Ferguson Christmas Party on the 6th of this month! Each year we hold in on the first saturday of the December month and always hold it at the Staheli Barns in Washington City! They are always decorated so cute for the holiday season to!!! We eat lots of food first then Santa comes and gives gifts to all that aren't married! Then my grandma has always gotten pajamas for the kids to! So she pulled them out and they were so cute this year! Actually the last few years I help her buy the pajamas and all the gifts she needs for the kids... so I already knew what they looked like!!! After all the kids change into their pajamas the kids sit in a circle and exchange the gifts they bought for the name they drew! Then the adults sit in the circle and what happens is the girls buy for the girls and the boys for the boys then we go around and each take turns picking a gift... yes you can steal others that have already been unwrapped! So it was a lot of fun!!! We really enjoyed seeing family!!! Down below are come pictures of the night!!!

We are in the process of finishing up finals... ugh:(...! So pray we can do alright on them next week!!! That's the lastest info... and to our family can't wait to see you!!!

Ferguson Christmas Party!!!

black friday...

Haha well it is true... McKay and I experienced and participated in this year for our very first time... EVER!!! So I'll take you through our very eventful night!!!

Well we woke up at 3:00 friday morning, grabbed a blanket in case we had to wait outside, and headed off to Wal-Mart! Where we were hoping to get the XBox package... it included the console, guitar hero 3 with the wireless guitar, and 6 bonus games!!! When we arrived at Wal-Mart there weren't too many cars outside so we thought we were in good shape! Once we got inside all the items they had advertised were in the middle of the aisle ways and all wrapped up so no one could get them before 5:00 o'clock, there were people everywhere... people had brought camping chairs and laptops and camped out by their items and just watched movies till time got close!

We found where the XBox package was and their were already like 8 people in a huddle around them and their was only 16 packages!! So we joined! The first hour went really slow! Once 4:00 hit it seemed like a million people were there... once they got to the back of the store where most of the sale items were they found it was so crowded that they were all ditching the shopping carts and it was just a mess for anyone to try to get anywhere.

Well as time neared we were getting nervous because people kept showing up... I was getting excited, a little claustrophobic, and some anxiety! It was nuts!!!

Anyways, 4:30 hit and this lady walked up to get in this huddle for the XBox and she pushed her way between McKay and some other lady when they were already shoulder to shoulder, she was very pushy and persistent about getting in their!... At each sale item they had an employee their with a razor to cut the wrapping off when the time came! Well 4:50 hit and the employees started opening them up and people were going nuts!!! I knew Kay wouldn't be pushy... plus my adrenaline kicked in and I jumped across this ladies cart in front of me and just dived in to get one! I mean I was sprawled out over it trying to rip one out of the pile! As soon as I got my hands on one I held on with all my might so no one would steal it and I just took off so I could get out of the mess and chaos!... I looked back and McKay was just sitting their watching these people go crazy... he was so amused and just laughing because people were just crazy... it looked like a bunch of dogs all fighting after one bone!

So black friday was a success for us this year and was fun! Yes, I thought it was a blast!!! I do have to say I would only go for really big items like electronics that I know are a good deal!!! Not for little toys I know I could get later for a couple bucks more!!!

After we got home it took us a while to get to bed because we were still all hyped up!!! But eventually did before Kay had to get up and go to work!!!

So we know our Christmas present, so no surprises this year but I will still wrap it up and open it on Christmas morning!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!...

This year for Thanksgiving McKay and I were at the Jones'! It was wonderful! The food was excellent and to be with family was even better! Mom Jones did an excellent job! Thanks!!!...

We are very blessed to have our family so close! We actually kinda went back and forth from house to house so we got to see both families! We have so much to be grateful for and happy we can set a day aside to really focus on all we are thankful and grateful for! McKay and I are so grateful for each other, for our families and this wonderful world to live in... and especially grateful for the Gospel!

Hope you all had a great day! I know we did and we can't wait for this next holiday to get underway!!!...

Primary!!!

Well a couple of weeks ago McKay and I were called as primary teachers for our ward! We are teaching the 9 and 10 year olds! We have only been there one Sunday to teach and this upcoming one we have Sharing Time! I won't lie but I am really nervous, the last time I was in primary I was in there as one of the "good" kids!!! :) Anyways so I hope all goes over well on Sunday!!!

McKay was super nervous Sunday and still kinda not all sure about this calling! He is afraid to tell the kids to be quiet and sit down and listen and particapate with what is going on! He tells me I am the one that works with kids and knows how to handle them, so I should be the mean one! I just said it is good practice for ya, ;)!!! Anyways I am actually looking forward to this calling just nervous about this Sharing Time so if anyone has any great ideas especially with Thanksgiving the next week, feel free to share!!!

(: Silly Us :)

So McKay is taking a class in school right now called sports medicine! The last few weeks they have been learning how to tape ankles... anyways he always comes home and gets so excited to practice on me!!! So the other night he taped it and we were a little slap happy and decided to have a little fun with it!!!

Here is his signature and number!Here is a Get Well Soon :)!!!... Haha ya you may think it is a little stupid and childish for us adults but I find it fun and cute!!!... Just some random fun... Got to love it!!!...The tape around my toes was just extra tape that he had to put somewhere!!!...

Happy Birthday Updates!!!

Well to start off... Happy Birthday Beth J.!!! We wish you the best and hope your day was great!!!..

Okay so this may be a long post but I love pictures!!! So here it goes...

Well on thursday McKay woke up and wanted to open his present!... So he sat down in the living room to get ready for it!!! I was tricky with the way I wrapped his present so he couldn't guess what it was right off the bat... I had lots of fun with it too!!!

So here is McKay patiently waiting so I can take a picture!!!Here he just got finished unwrapping the first box and found the second box to unwrap!!!Here he is getting started on unwrapping the second box!!!Now he is going through all the newspaper trying to search for the actual present!!!Ta-Da!!!... The ring!!! What a cheese dog!!!...For his Birthday Breakfast I made him pancakes and eggs!!!... I hardly am able to make a good breakfast in the mornings cause I usually leave before him!!! So this is a nice change for the morning!!!I decorated his car!!! On one side I wrote "Honk it's my birthday!" and on the other side I wrote "24!"... I think he was kinda embarrassed to drive around in it :)!!!...Later that night we meet some friends and some of his old roommates at Texas Roadhouse to have a fun get together for his birthday... starting from the back left side of the table their was Earl, Ruben, Aubrey and Chace then skip to the back right side, Me, McKay Megan, and Colten! Thanks for coming guys it was lots of fun for us!!!...Friday night the Jones family and my family meet at my parents house and had an ice cream cake to celebrate both Kay's and Beth's birthday! They both turned 24 so I put 12 candles on one side and 12 on the other and they each blew out one of the halves!!! It was fun to have our families their to celebrate this fun time with us!!!...Here they are about to blow out the melting candles!!!...Last but not least the present my parents gave McKay was tickets to the BYU game and dinner afterwords!!! It was such a fun game and not even very cold!!! They Cougars killed the team they played! Go Team!!!... After the game Kay decided we would eat at the Old Spaghetti Factory!!! It was so so good!!!... By the way thanks to all you guys for being so nice and remembering Kay on his birthday... he couldn't believe how many people remembered and gave him something or text him or emailed!!! That was very thoughful... Thanks!!!

Happy Birthday Babe!!!

Happy Birthday my most favorite person in the whole world!!! I Love You birthday boy!!!...
As you can tell it is McKay's birthday! He turned 24... getting so old!!! I made him pancakes and eggs for the morning birthday breakfast! Then he opened his present and I felt bad cause it wasn't anything fun, no toy! I finally got him his ring!!! Long overdue, I could never find one I really liked! I am picky!... Anyways tonight he wanted to go play softball so we will go watch him play and then we are going out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse with a bunch of our friends to celebrate!!! It should be way fun!

Tomorrow we are headed to Enterprise after he gets off work and we will have ice cream and cake with the families! I got the best ice cream cake ever! Then saturday we are headed to a BYU game for his birthday to!!! It should be way way fun! I can't wait and I hope he really will and has enjoyed the day and all to come!!! I'll post the pictures of the fun after it's all over!!!

Some Halloween Fun!!! - 2008

Well McKay and I both had to dress up for work I didn't want to go out and spend money so I just threw on Kay's Laker jersey and went to the school as a Laker Fan! We bought Kay some paint and he dressed up as a tatooed devil!!! He looked way sexy as one to... kinda scary I know!!!... Well I went to work and they let the kids arrive in their costumes and walk around the track like a parade as the parents sat on the side and watched it... it was a way cute idea!!! Then they just partied the rest of the day! I spend most my days with Lainee she is a 3rd grader and she dressed up as a cheerleader she looked way cute... then Aby is another girl in our class and she dressed up as a witch... I asked her if she was a good witch or a bad one and she replied, "I am a MAD witch!" I laughed so hard!!! It was so cute!!!...

After work I went over to McKay's bank and visited for a while and to check out Kay and see if he really went through with his costume and he did... I really didn't think he would!!!

After my nice visit I went home to make some sugar cookies for fun! They turned out way good... and even shared with our neighbors!!! After the cookies I waited for Kay to get home from work and Sam and Toomey to get to our apt. with the pumpkins we were going to carve before the Halloween night got started!!! We each carved our own pumpkins and really didn't do anything to unusual just the good old fashion face!!!... After the carving Sam and her friend went to Thriller and I was way super jealous I so want to go!... Instead McKay and I headed over to my grandparents house and ate the famous and traditional Chili on Halloween night! It was so so so good!!!... and we got a nice trick or treat suprise at the door... my nephews!!! Tallon was the cutest Tiger ever!!!... and AJ was BATMAN!!! He was so serious like Batman to... it was cute!!! Aubrey decided to stay in Enterprise and trick or treat but she was a cute Princess!!!

We wish we could have seen our other nieces and nephews so show them off in their costumes so hopefully next year!!!

Anyways that was our excitin' Halloween Day!!! Here are some pictures to let ya in on it!!!...

Sleepover Fun!!! - 2008

This last friday Aubrey and AJ came to our apt. to have a sleepover with uncle McKay and aunt Amanda!!!... We first went and rented a movie for the night... and of coarse is had to be Dora! Then we headed over to McKay's softball game but just my luck they had just finished up so we headed back home to watch the movie and get ready for bed!!!

Saturday morning I woke up before everyone and went out to sit on the couch and after about 5 minutes of sitting their AJ goes, "Hey you, I'm awake!" It was so cute so he jumped up and came and sat on my lap and not much longer Aubrey woke up... at this point Kay was still sleeping so I couldn't refuse Aubrey's request to go and wake him up!!!... They both jumped on the bed and jumped on him! Woke him up just in time to send him off to work for a couple of hours!... So while Kay was at work we ate breakfast took showers for the day and yes watched Dora again!!!... After Dora got done I decided to run some errands with them... we went to Target and yes as an aunt you have the right to spoil them so we had to get some treats and had to see how fast our cart could go!!! On our way home their is a water fountain that we stopped by and we took some pictures... AJ was not being very cooperative! But they had fun running around the fountain and feeling the water!

When Kay got home we headed off to the park! This park is right down the street from us and is a really nice one! It has 5 slides, 2 half basketball courts and a sand volleyball court! They had a blast! Yes McKay and I played on the slides too! At the park their was one other little boy and AJ went right up to him and said, "I AJ," it was so funny a 2 year old boy introducing himself!!!.. After the park we headed to the splashpad on Tabernacle AJ loved the water on his feet but did not want to get wet anywhere else... as for Aubrey we told her not to get wet but eventually gave in and she soaked herself head to toe! She would run up and down and get AJ occasionally and he would get angry... which made Aubrey do it more!!! Well we kept telling Aubrey not to run or she would fall... she didn't want to listen and yes fell... and hard!!! That was the end of the water fun!!!...

When we got home from the splashpad the kids zonked out on the couch and that's when we got Tallon for the rest of the night while mom was at work... oh and he is a doll!!! Cutest smile ever!!!... When they finally woke up McKay and AJ went and got pizza! They ate a ton... lots more than Kay and I... we wore them out I am afraid!... We watched Dora again and played around in the house and built forts and played with the bears and turtle!!!... Eventually put them to bed... before mom would come and pick them up!!!...

Anyways that was our eventful weekend sleepover!!! It was so much fun!!!... We love our nieces and nephews!!!... Here are some pictures of our weekend of FUN!!!...

Conference - 2008

Well as you all know it was conference weekend this past weekend! It was absolutely amazing! We are so blessed to have a prophet to lead and guide this church to give us the wisdom and pointers we need to keep going along the straight and narrow! I was so happy to be able to watch all sessions! It was really an uplifting conference! McKay and I loved all the speakers and we were so happy to spend our three month anniversary together watching it with family!

I am so grateful for temples and the blessings they hold! For us to be sealed together forever and have our families sealed to us so we can be with them in the eternities is just the most amazing blessing ever! I was so thrilled to go through the temple three months ago and be sealed to my best friend ever! It was an amazing experience and I am so happy I can go back there anytime! I am so excited for McKays brother and fiance, they will be able to be sealed on Dec. 19! So a very exciting time for them!

We went on lots of walks, she loved playing with the bears... she would acutally put the bears in the stroller and walk around our apt. and well... take them on a walk it was cute! Oh and I taught Taya something my mom did with me when I was little called, noses... so if you don't know what I am talking about you can ask to see when we are together... its so so cute!!!
So funny story... Taya loved to play with our remotes, anyways I have a remote to my iHOME that holds my iPOD... well I guess she had pushed enough buttons that I woke up at 7:00 this morning to ladies singing chapel music... and for the longest time I couldn't figure out where it was coming from... well come to find out she set the alarm radio on the iHOME!!!

It was cold but nothing we could not handle! We then checked into a hotel that Beth's dad got for us... that was so extremely nice of him we really appreciated it, the rooms were wonderful! After we got settled in there we went to the Giants Dodger game... Go Giants!!! They pulled out a win! At the game it was so cute because Taya was such a big hit with everyone! We had made it early enough for batting practice and Beth, Taya, Kelli and I were standing on the third base line right next to a bunch of Giant players... well one of the balls came down the line and they saw we were Giant fans they came over and handed Taya the ball and signed it! It was way cute and fun for her!!!... Saturday we went to Magic Mountain and exhausted ourselves out!

I went to her game this past Saturday after Isaac got done with his game and yes I have to say she looked just like me when I played soccer in her little uniform! By the way if you guys do not know soccer was my life before we moved to Enterprise I played on little league teams I then moved to double A then triple A then a club team, we were always playing in tournaments all over the place! So when we moved I thought my world ended cause Enterprise had no soccer... it was devastating!!!... Oh my heck she looked so adorable with her little shin guards, her short rolled up soccer shorts, her tucked in jersey and her cute little ponytail!!!... It is fun to watch kids at her age play! One will run after the ball and kinda know what to do and the rest just run by the side of them and follow the ball around!... If you can not tell where she is the lady by the goal os pointing and her pointing finger is right on her!!!...Here is a pic of her being the goalie!!!... Hard to see I konw but so so cute!!!...Here is grandma and AJ watching the game!!!... Oh and ya got to love AJ's mohawk... it looked so cute on him!!!...Well after Aubreys game we took Aubrey and AJ back to our house to play!!!... and this is the cute little outfit I bought her for her birthday and I know good job it is so cute on her!!!... Here is just a pic I wanted of them together... AJ did not want one so Aubrey just grabbed him and I took it asap cause he did not want to be squeezed like that!!!...
