AFC WEST CHAMPS

GO CHARGERS!!!
So last night the Chargers played the Broncos in the battle for AFC West champs and a spot in the playoffs. What a game. The Chargers stomped all over the Broncos in a 52-21 win. It was Awesome. Now some would say who cares the Chargers are only an 8-8 team. But I say that doesn't matter. What matters is they are going into the playoffs on a big high, and three game winning streak. So next Saturday at 8pm Et they will take on the Colts. I know the Colts are a good team, I just happen to think my Chargers are better and that they will upset the Colts again this year as they did last year! I'm looking forward to it. But no matter what happens next week, I am just happy that we got the win over the broncos last night. It always feels good to beat denver!! (I still love all of you who are Denver fans)here's a picture of Isaac and I watching our Chargers win!

Merry Christmas

So once again Christmas comes and goes super fast. We enjoyed a quiet Christmas at home in Ohio....I would have preferred a much noisier one in Utah with my family. But we had a good day. David's parents came up in the afternoon and stayed through dinner. The kids sure love having them around and I admit I enjoy the help they give. The kids had a very exciting day as they got a puppy for Christmas. She provided the most entertainment for the day. Her name is Rosie and she is a Doxin Poodle mix. It's like having another baby in the house. Last night I was wondering what I have gotten myself into. Atleast when she cries through the night I can ignore her! So we hope you all had great Christmas's and enjoyed family and friends while keeping in mind the reason for the season! I am thankful for my Savior Jesus Christ and for his birth and ultimate sacrifice. I do not know how I would have made it through this year with out His love to surround me.
Here are a few pictures of our Christmas morning.

WOW! What a Weekend

So I got to have a weekend away. My first time with out the baby. I admit I missed her and the other kids, but it was still really nice. Sleeping through the night 2 nights in a row. And for good measure, Eviee slept through the night last night as well. 12 hours straight. She hasn't done that since we were in Utah. Way to go Eviee, hopefully it will be the new norm. So My weekend started early Saturday morning. My plane left Dayton Ohio at 7:41am. I got to Kansas City at 10:45am. Amanda picked me up and on the way to her house, we picked up lunch. Then after getting her kids down for naps, we left them with her husband Bryan and headed to the mall. We shopped and just enjoyed ourselves, both with out kids. We went to dinner, thought about catching a movie(Twilight again for the both of us)but when we thought about the early start we'd have to get the next day we decided against it. So Sunday rolls around, time for the game! I am so excited! We have field access passes.


And even passes for free food. What more could a person want! We get to the stadium, Arrowhead (the loudest stadium) we meet up with a friend of Amanda's. His name is Steve and he works with Amanda's husband Bryan. Steve is there to show us the ropes. We get to enter the stadium by way of the players tunnel. How cool is that. The we walk right down to the field. As we are walking around it's not long before Charger players are coming out to the field for warm ups. There they were running plays right in front of me. It was Awesome. Then at game time, I was standing right at the tunnel entrance so when the players ran out I was right there to see them go past. I was in heaven. I watched the whole game from the sidelines. Standing right there next to the photographers. It was so sweet. the only thing wrong was that we were getting our butts kicked! I was not happy. During halftime, I was in the tunnel by the Chiefs locker room, so when they came out I said to a few of them "you guys are kicking our butts, stop it!" hee hee, I kept getting all kinds of looks and some remarks from fans due to being in my SD Tomlinson jersey, but I didn't care. I loved every minute of it. So with like 1:20 left in the game the Chargers go for an on sides kick and recover it! Yes! Down the field they come and score the TD that put them up 22-21. They missed on a two point try. But left only like 36 secs for the chiefs to score. There attempted field goal to win the game was missed! Yes we win!!!!! I was jumping a cheering with the players running past me to the locker room, and the last player off the field ran right next to me and I put my hand up and got a high five from Philip Rivers, the guy that just won the game with his 2 touchdown passes! SWEET SWEET SWEET! This trip was heaven. Of course it was freezing cold!! The day started out at 60 degrees, it was 40 by came time and 22 by the end of the game...but did I care? Heck no! There you have it, my wonderful weekend. Here are a few pictures. I hope to get the rest off my phone soon.

WOW! December Already

I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. I wish i could say it's been a great one. But who would I be kidding, ya'll know it's pretty much sucked for me. So I can't say I'll be sad to see it end. I just wish it didn't have to end with the holidays. It's only making it worse. I'm trying really hard to be positive and keep my chin up, but this was my mom's favorite time of the year and everywhere I look I think of her. It helps that I have a lot of her decorations up in my house now. Plus this was suppose to be the year we went out to Utah for Christmas and once again I have to stay here.....always. That's pulls at my heart strings a bit. Christmas just isn't the same with out all my family around. I love David's family, but they just don't do things like the Quinney's do and I like the Quinney way. Well I made it through Thanksgiving, I will make it through Christmas too...with maybe just a few more tears.
Sorry didn't mean to be depressing. Not too much has been going on here. We went and had our family picture taken last weekend, so I will post that when we get it back. I have been busy working on Christmas presents. I do enjoy that. I am going on a trip this coming weekend. My friend Amanda moved to Blue Springs, MO back in May and her husband works for Turner Construction and is currently working on the new Kansas City Cheifs staidum, so he can get tickets to the games and so I am going to visit and see the Chargers play the Cheifs next Sunday. I am so excited. I wish the Chargers had been doing better, but I am sure they will have no problems beating the Cheifs. So I get to be gone Saturday, Sunday and get home Monday afternoon and all by myself. No baby. I can't wait to sleep all through the night. It'll be a good time. Thanks Amamnda for being a great friend. I can't wait to hang out and catch up like old times!
The kids are doing well. everyone is moving along. Eviee is crawling now and she loves to get around. Isaac is as cute as ever, keeping us etertained. Eliza and Elana like to be more grown up then they are. Fun times!!
Here is Eliza in her Hannah Montana outfit she got for her birthday from Annie

Here is Eviee checking herself out in the oven door, I couldn't get the picture of her kissing herself, hee hee she kept looking at me

And here's all the kids hanging out on the couch watching The Polar Express
