We had a pre dance party at Reagan's. We all had a great time. One of the games was the boys put in a shoe and the girls picked one of the shoes. She finds the owner of he shoe and they dance. Dallin was in the bathroom so he didn't get to play but he did see Chancellor dancing with his girl and he said she was hot.

I have been a swimmer my whole life growing up. My claim to fame was getting 2nd in state in the 100 Butterfly my junior year at the Utah state championship meet.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">So I still think I'm hot stuff and I always let Chancellor know that and how I could kick his butt swimming. All summer we talked about having a race but it never happened. Chance decided we needed to have a swim off once and for all. I said, "Bring it on, punk!" Monte and Dallin joined in. Monte wasn't a swimmer in high school so I knew I could beat him and of course I could beat Dallin, he's 12. So first we swam a 50 free. I came in last. I couldn't believe it. Then we swam 25 fly. I lost again. Then 25 free; another loss. I actually quit because I knew I had lost and I was very tired. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">So it turns out my greatness was all in my mind. I was very depressed and exhausted! So I took the walk of shame to the closing ceremonies and we took this picture.</div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ypHAfCzd2AM/SWOy2yYBeLI/AAAAAAAABMo/h9ePdMcCFu8/s1600-h/IMG_2772.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288267041768306866" style="width: 400px; cursor: pointer; height: 267px;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ypHAfCzd2AM/SWOy2yYBeLI/AAAAAAAABMo/h9ePdMcCFu8/s400/IMG_2772.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>We lose Jackson (twice)</strong></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">After 10 or 15 minutes we realized we didn't have Jackson. We had left him at the pool. He was picking me victory flowers and we forgot about him. Monte ran back to get him (I was far too tired) and he was sitting there talking to a girl. Jackson said "I went to get Mom and Morgan a flower then you were gone." Woops!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ypHAfCzd2AM/SWOy2Vbkr8I/AAAAAAAABMg/7Ks7Xmhyd8w/s1600-h/IMG_2774.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288267033998569410" style="width: 400px; cursor: pointer; height: 267px;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ypHAfCzd2AM/SWOy2Vbkr8I/AAAAAAAABMg/7Ks7Xmhyd8w/s400/IMG_2774.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />The next day as we were leaving the park we went through the casino and split up into two groups. After about 10 minutes Monte got outside and realized that Jackson wasn't with him. He ran back to where we split up and Jackson was sitting all alone on a couch with tears in his eyes. Monte asked him if anyone helped him and he said, "No, I just waited for you to come back!" Poor guy.

There were 8 big ones and a few little ones. Jackson could only go on the little ones. I was trying to video the kids going down the slide and I heard a little cry. I ignored it because I was busy. A minute later I heard a louder cry "Mommy! Mommy!" I could tell then that it was Jackson. Again I was busy so I sent Mommy #2 Morgan in to save him. Jackson was hanging on the end of the slide crying. Morgan did an excellent job saving him.

We had a great time and I'm totally glad we did it. It really wasn't totally a gingerbread decorating party.

Coming in a close second is getting a golf cart. He mentions one of them nearly every day. Monte finally made his dream come true. I didn't think he would actually get him one. Friday night, our Christmas eve, Dallin's friend Trent called and asked him why there was a trailer in our driveway and a golf cart in his court. We were amazed that Dallin was able to hang out the rest of the night, go to bed, go to sleep, wake up, open presents, all without mentioning this to us. Finally, Monte took him out front and there it was. A shiny, new golf cart! Dallin screamed like a girl and drove it around the neighborhood all day long. I'm sure it won't be long until someone from our homeowners association sends us a letter. I'll go on record the whole thing makes me a little nervous.

He also loves one of his teachers. It is his core teacher, Mrs. Tully. They like to talk about the office and Dallin calls her "best friend Mrs. Tully". On one of the latest episodes the hottest Christmas toy was the Princess Unicorn Barbie (My Horn Can Pierce The Sky!). Dwight bought every doll in the area to punish the parents who wait until the last minute to get their kids gifts. Dallin decided to make this Princess Unicorn Barbie for Mrs. Tully. I had to buy a barbie, he whittled a unicorn horn during tech class, called a friend to find the perfect dress, and he glued on the horn. It was a perfect copy. He gave it to her and she laughed so hard she cried. Dallin is very funny. As you can see he made the white one.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ypHAfCzd2AM/SU7J-aaWeOI/AAAAAAAAA_M/7FKvj4bfu2Y/s1600-h/IMG_2313.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ypHAfCzd2AM/SU7J-aaWeOI/AAAAAAAAA_M/7FKvj4bfu2Y/s400/IMG_2313.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282381487031089378" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ypHAfCzd2AM/SU7J9nWUt8I/AAAAAAAAA-8/j_4IHAiM4xk/s1600-h/IMG_2310.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ypHAfCzd2AM/SU7J9nWUt8I/AAAAAAAAA-8/j_4IHAiM4xk/s400/IMG_2310.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282381473323988930" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ypHAfCzd2AM/SU7J-M8PM4I/AAAAAAAAA_E/d-4nI8cAQNs/s1600-h/IMG_2312.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ypHAfCzd2AM/SU7J-M8PM4I/AAAAAAAAA_E/d-4nI8cAQNs/s400/IMG_2312.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282381483415122818" border="0" /></a><img src="file:///Users/kristislavens/Desktop/PU-04.jpg" alt="" /><img src="file:///Users/kristislavens/Desktop/PU-04.jpg" alt="" /><br />This is the real Princess Unicorn Barbie.

She came from her father, king of the unicorns, and her mother, queen of the princesses. Sorcerissa, the evil witch, cast a spell on Princess Unicorn's parents, forcing them into another dimension, and doused Princess Unicorn in radiation. The radiation did not hurt Princess Unicorn, but gave her magical powers. She can summon her magic by holding her wand and calling out, "My horn can pierce the sky!" Now she uses her magic and beauty to write for her school paper, defend her kingdom, and battle Sorcerissa so she can be reunited with her mother and father some day. </p> </div><br /><div style="display: none;"> <!-- SiteCatalyst code version: H.2.

I signed up to go and was lucky enough to have my name picked out of the hat to drive. Looking back now I should have signed up for a fieldtrip in May not the middle of December. I love to go, sure I love to be with my son (which ever one it is) but mostly it's to be able to take pictures. So I ask someone take a picture to capture the special moment Trenton and I are having. Come to find out my battery is still at home charging for this special moment. I hate it when that happens! The nice lady took a picture of us on her phone and emailed it to me. We did have great time and they did a really good job on the show. So I am happy I went and spent the time being hugged by Trenton even if I had not had ended up with a picture.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ypHAfCzd2AM/SUn6Ndq5YFI/AAAAAAAAAeo/-pRAQGOGJPI/s1600-h/christmas+carol.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ypHAfCzd2AM/SUn6Ndq5YFI/AAAAAAAAAeo/-pRAQGOGJPI/s400/christmas+carol.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281027147278409810" border="0" /></a><br />Trenton your the best!Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08944410124370766391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562386184207821015.post-47487932937670990142008-12-16T08:42:00.000-08:002008-12-16T08:45:38.081-08:00Jack Jack's question of the dayJackson "Mom, what song is this?"
