SKIING!!!

Wow. This was the first time I had EVER gone, and I'm SO going again. I only flipped upside down one time (I was going too fast and needed to stop) but I found a REALLY fun way to ski.. on accident! I was trying to get up and I knew nothing about skiing. So I had my skis facing downhill and sort of grabbed the back of them like I was crab-walking. I started going down the hill and I couldn't stop because I couldn't wedge my skis and I couldn't let go! The only choice I had was to biff it. MAN it was so funny... people were laughing so HARD! Here's a picture of Kendrick, me and Dennis (Denise, my ski-addicted sister) I have to admit that my feet and hands were numb, but I couldn't quit!

McKinlee's First Words

McKinlee said her first word yesterday morning, very plain and clear looking at Kendrick just before she head-butted him. Her first word was dad! Just to give you a little update on our Slobber Monster as Kendrick calls her... She's doing awesome! She cruises like crazy in her walker and loves it... It's her new thing is to run as fast as she can and then whack into the wall or table or whatever is available to her... oh yeah she has a thing for bashing into garbage cans too. Our house is perfect for her since the entire upstairs only has one room with carpet... she can get all the concussions she wants! Here are some fun pictures of her in her walker.


Kendrick was putting up the Christmas tree and heard a whoosh and a pretty loud slam. He turned around to see that McKinlee had charged at the tree and smashed half of it into the wall. Here she is playing with the lights that he was hanging afterward...

Pictures are done

Hey Katie! The pics I took of Jentri today are up! :) Let me know which one you want turned into a Christmas card!

Our Slobber Monster

So last night, McKinlee did the same thing she's starting to do EVERY night... she pooped in the tub. So Kendrick and I pulled her out and laid her on the counter and started to feed her rice cereal (we usually do it in the tub because it's fun for her to make a mess....) Anyway, Kendrick put a HUGE bite of rice cereal in her mouth... and she sneezed. Here's the aftermath! Gotta love it!




I also did Paige's hair yesterday for her concert. I wish I would have brought my camera to the concert because I also saw Chloe and Morgan Harris, Lindsey Swenson, Pam DePaz, Angell and Jewell Smith, and Paige! They all did a great job playing. The Super stars also showed up: Katie and Jake Price (Katie teaches Paige violin lessons) Cody and Mike Harris and Nikki and Jason.. and the Smith Family! So it ended up being a really fun night, and the SF 17th ward dominated the general population *laughs* It was like a 20 minute concert.. and McKinlee even paid attention! Good job you girlies that played!

Pictures of McKinlee, Paige and Morgan's haircut

I was goofing off taking pictures of Kinlee because Denise made like the CUTEST tutu ever! Thanks Dennis!
The other day (I think Monday!) Paige and Morgan came over in the afternoon and I cut their hair!

Denise and Larry

You are such trusting souls.... ;)

I love this picture!!


These guys trusted me enough to snap some ultra cold photos yesterday... Thanks! It took lots of bribing Nate, who wanted a whole bag of chocolate chips, to get some fun pictures. You're such an awesome sister! I wish we looked more alike!

We made it to the CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

Congratulations girls!!! We practiced one time before the actual tournament started. We had gone into it at second place, only playing a limited number of games before then. These girls really played their hearts out! I brought my good luck charm and each girl committed to me that they would put their hearts on the floor before they would let the volleyball hit it. They rocked. Here's the girls!

Back row (left to right) Alyce, Angell, Chloe Morgan
Front Row: Jewell, Erin, Lauren, Max

Not Pictured: Paige, Heather, Pam (they weren't able to make it to the tournament)


Each girl played a vital role in helping us get to the championship game. We didn't win, but there is no way that a team who only had one practice should have made it. These girls are unreal. They are a group of the hardest, most positive chicks I've ever seen! Thanks for making this fun you guys! Nikki and Cody, I also wanted to thank you guys for your support and your help with the girls. It was awesome to have you guys there!

Sleeter Conference 2008

Sleeter conference is where QuickBooks accountants, bookkeepers, accounting industry leaders get together to discuss ideas on accounting. Where did Kendrick and I fit in? The software company that we work for, Fishbowl Inventory is the #1 add-on to QuickBooks and we attended the conference. Fishbowl did a presentation Monday, and stayed at the conference Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. Intuit (QuickBooks) hosted a dinner for us Wednesday night which was fun. The picture above is the hotel where we stayted. The people who attended the conference with us were
Dave Williams: CEO
Grant Kimball: Vice President of Sales and Marketing
John David King: Direct Sales Manager
ME: No title :)
Kendrick: Training Team Lead
Here we are waiting to head over to the conference after breakfast
This is George Keliher. George is my top implementation consultant for Fishbowl out of Long Beach California. I've been working with George for about 2 years and have only seen him face to face 3-4 times because of the nature of our business.

This is Jeanne Tarazevits, my top Reseller out of California. She's currently #2 in all of Fishbowl for sales and my personal top reseller. She also does some implementations. I've worked with Jeanne for just under 2 years and have only met with her face to face 3-4 times as well. If you're wondering what my job at Fishbowl is, I'll tell you... I'm a sales rep. about 50-75% of the time I'm doing presentations over the phone and internet with companies to show them what the software does... the other portion of the time, I'm working with people like Jeanne Tarazevits or George Keliher to get other companies going on the software. I have resellers and implementations specalists dotting all across the US. I have to say that I love my job! I'm now starting to work with Motorola and Unitech resellers, to set up barcoding within warehouses.One night as the conference was wrapping up, Kendrick told me to run outside and take a picture. I had NO idea what made him think of such a random idea until I ran out there. Talk about beautiful!!! It was such a fun week. My mom babysat McKinlee and Seven for us while we were gone that week. Thank you so much mom!!!
