Happy New Year- Part 2

So New Year's Eve is the Wright Pool Tournament; New Years Day is bowling with the Rowleys.  We had great fun Monday bowling and eating yummy Mexican food!
The top bowlers club.  My Dad did amazing, Matt was right behind him, McKay did really well (when you have the stand to roll the ball and the bumpers come up for you, you better do well!), and Logan slept!  Katelyn and Adrian put up some competiton, and we'll just say my Mom and I don't have much to brag about!

Waiting very impatiently for his green ball to come

Strike!

Cheese!
Yummy Los Hermanos to start off the New Year!  Happy 2012!

Happy New Years

Every New Year's Eve we have the annual Wright Family Pool Tournament.  Don't get the wrong idea- we're not professional pool players.  We play once a year- every new years eve, so it makes it kind of fun because we are all equally rusty!

It wouldn't be New Years without some games...

Matt finally won!!  Yah!  Bragging rights until next year...

Happy New Year Logan!

Cabin

Every year my family goes up to the Rowley Family Cabin inbetween Christmas and New Years.  This year was fun but was weird because there wasn't any snow.  There were small patches of snow here and there but it was icy.  I had fun taking pictures with the new camera...

This was the cabin last year we were there over Christmas...

...and this was this year.  Crazy!  It was so warm and no snow!  Usually we go snow-shoeing, sledding, and stuff.  But not this year! 

 Me and the boys- Matt had to work so he just came up at night.  My sisters helped me with the boys during the day.  Thanks for your help!  And of course since my boys didn't sleep at night, thanks for putting up with no sleep for a few days!

McKay wants to wrestle with Logan so bad...It is cute at first but then McKay starts to get rough and I have to intervene.  I keep telling  him when Logan gets bigger.  Then he asks me "Mommy, is Logan bigger yet?"



Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!!  We had a great Christmas this year and are finally recovering and getting back into regular life.  McKay loved everything Christmas- from the music to the lights and decorations he was in heaven.  Marisa watched the boys for us one night so we could do some Christmas shopping and he kept getting after her for not having enough Christmas decorations...We knew every house with fun Christmas lights in the Payson area because each night he wanted to go for a ride to see lights...We are still singing "Jingle Bells", "Away in a Manger", and "Up on the Housetop"....  It was so fun to get into all the magic of the season and see McKay's face so excited with everything he saw!   McKay keeps asking when Santa will come again and I told him it will be a long time so he better start looking forward to the Easter Bunny.  Logan was happy and enjoyed the whole season as long as someone was holding him.  He is so laid-back it doesn't take much to make him happy!  Santa brought McKay (and Logan and Matt) a basketball hoop along with Super-man,  Mr. Potato Head, and some much needed pants and socks.  Logan had a Christmas of clothes (all of McKay's hand-me-downs are summer clothes so he needed winter wear).  Matt had a BYU apparel Christmas and I got a camera :-).  So beware- I had to use my new toy...I took A LOT of pictures the past two weeks!  It was a blast and we had so much fun enjoying it with all our family.

Jingle Bells on the kazoo- we are so musically talented don't you think?

My Christmas projects this year was aprons (I sewed 8 of them total...I'm taking January off)

warm comfy sweats & the two cutest chick flicks = Who could ask for more?  thanks Katelyn!

The annual Christmas Calender

 Go Logan GO!!  This wrapping paper is fun!  Who cares what's inside!

 Logan enjoying being the center of attention

McKay's favorite thing at Grandma Rowley's is the piano.  Grandma took pity and played Christmas songs for him all night and he took the microphone and sang his heart out.  It was so cute to see him belt out each Christmas song- and he knows a lot of them pretty good.  It was by far my favorite Christmas moment this year.

 Matt's Christmas toy- ARMY GUYS.  Growing up he loved to play army guys so I found a set and gave them to him for Christmas.  McKay and Matt have spent many hours playing and setting up their battles.  It is fun to watch them get into it.  Matt is just a big little boy!

Great-grandma and Grandpa Wright came down Christmas afternoon for Christmas dinner and presents.  It was fun to have the afternoon with them and BJ, Amanda, & their kiddos.  All the kids were going crazy with all the Christmas excitement so it was a little busy, but it was fun.

Wright cousins, minus Logan.  The excitement was a little much for him...he had to take a nap!

McKay enjoying Logan's new toys...isn't that how it always works?

Christmas morning Matt, Logan, and I were up early while McKay was sleeping like a log... finally we had to wake McKay up because Logan was getting antsy to take his morning nap!  Here is Logan patiently waiting for his brother to wake up so he could attack the wrapping paper.

Mr. Potato Head!
