Mckay's last soccer game from November

2011-02-02T20:04:00.000-08:00

I'm a little late posting Mckay's last soccer game in November (he's #7). He started the season off a little shy but then we promised a "surprise treat" after playing each game to help persuade him to play. That was the trick! This was their last game and my head was still in Utah thinking it would be cold so I dressed Mckay in sweats with his shin guards underneath. Well, he was the only one in sweats and wasn't happy about it. His last few games he scored a lot of goals. He scored 5 goals in this game!! We were so proud of him!! The best goal was the first one in this game when he went from one end to the other in the middle of everyone. He was so excited and ran over to give us a big hug, then ran around and gave everyone high fives. It was awesome! The best part was we recorded everything...or did we? Well, Brian was so excited he forgot to record it. Luckily, Mckay scored four more goals to record. He was the best on his team. They won this game 7-3. The season was a lot of fun. JJ enjoyed cheering on his brother during games and played with him during practices. He was even better than some of the kids on the team:) The biggest distraction for both Mckay and JJ were any pets brought to the game. They would rather pet dogs than play soccer. My boys are getting so big!! We have so much fun with them!

2009-02-11T22:04:00.000-08:00

My boys have gotten so big...I can't believe it. Mckay is doing so good learning new words(Spanish and some English). He loves to clean up his toys and sing the song a long with it and he is the best big brother. Mckay loves to make JJ laugh and even reads him stories (pretends to at least).
JJ is so cute.. he is the happiest baby ever. He is already sitting up and almost crawling.. he stands on both hands and knees and then he rocks back and forth. I love to spend my whole day with them .. days can get crazy but I wouldn't change it for anything. I love my chunk monks.

Sledding with the boys!!!!

2009-01-21T21:26:00.000-08:00

I have to admit sledding is so much fun... I think the boys would also agree with me. It was a beautiful day outside and we really enjoyed it as a family.

Mckay's Birthday

2009-01-17T21:29:00.000-08:00

My first time decorating a bithday cake (Not too bad). Mckay liked it. Happy Bithday my big boy!!

Mckay really liked his presents but he was extremelly excited about one.. Mandy and Checho's present was a pair of cleats.

He loves pizza so that is what he got!!!

Mckay's first birthday present, his first pet and the only animal I can handle.

We celebrated Mckay's birthday all week. We took him to a BYU basketball game and he loved it.

Visit with Santa

2008-12-21T11:10:00.000-08:00

Mckay was a little shy at first but then quickly warmed up to Santa after a few hi fives. Checho (Santa's little helper) hooked us up with a great deal for working there - FREE! Mckay just wanted to look at Santa at first but didn't want to sit with him. Then, after the real photos were taken, Mckay kept going back to talk to Santa by himself as we were deciding on the photos. Mckay kept saying "Hi Santa, Hi Santa". It wasn't too busy so Santa was able to talk with Mckay for a while. Santa was awesome!! Mckay jumped up on his lap to get a candy cane and became best friends with Santa. As we were leaving Mckay kept saying, "Bye Santa, Bye Santa" as we walked away.

Goose Hunting

2008-12-21T07:59:00.000-08:00

Brian shot his first goose last week. He had a blast! He went out with our good friend, Patrick up in Layton, UT. The goose had a leg and a neck band. For those that don't know, Brian explained to me that the leg band is rare to find on a goose or a duck and is like a trophy to hunters when they shoot a bird with a band. The band is to track the migration of the birds throughout the world. The neck band is almost unheard of and is something really, really rare. Brian was both surpised and excited to come home with this goose.

Soccer friends!!

2008-12-19T21:20:00.000-08:00

Mckay loves soccer... and also his girlfriend. They played so well together, every game that Brian had (Brian came first in his soccer championship). They followed each other around... so cute.

Mckay's new bed & carols on sunday

2008-12-10T13:50:00.000-08:00

Mckay finally got his own big boy bed. He loves it, although every once in a while he climbs into the crib to lay with his little brother.

The other night we heard a knock on the door and found a group of people dressed up singing Christmas carols. It was one of the coolest things ever because they had llamas! They were actually BYU students who rented the llamas for the day and decided to dress up and walk around Provo singing Christmas carols. Brian put Mckay in a jacket and ran out to see the llamas. Mckay kept making his horsey sounds as he pet the llamas (you can see this in the first photo). It was funny. Brian says that the brown llama even left a Christmas gift on our lawn. If you look at the second picture the llama is just beginning to squat a little to leave her present. Other than the parting gift it was really neatand Mckay loved it! He kept waiving bye and making the horse noises as the llamas walked down the street.

We are ready for Christmas!!!

2008-11-20T20:58:00.000-08:00

We have a huge tree in our back yard...every fall we have a ton of leaves to pick up. This year Brian had a great helper(Mckay loves to help Daddy).

Halloween Fun

2008-11-01T21:39:00.001-07:00

Halloween was full of excitement! I dressed up as a BYU football player, Brian was my referree, Mckay was a monkey, and JJ was a cute little frog. We started off with a Trunk or Treat at the women's shelter here in Provo. About 20 cars from our ward filled the parking lot at the women's shelter (it is hidden from the street, locked in with a gated door and very secure). It was a great experience to serve and help give these kids the same opportunity as others. Mckay went around collecting candy as well, that is until he found a football and wouldn't let it go. He forgot all about the candy after that. The kids really seemed to like it and a lot of people showed up from our ward making it that much better for all.

Afterwards we went Trick or Treating here in our neighborhood. With the first few doors Mckay was kind of confused and walked into the people's living room when they opened the door. On all of the houses that presented him with candy in a bowl, Mckay would carefully choose a candy and place it in his bag, one after another, until we stopped him. He wanted as much candy as he could get from each house. His favorite candy is a sucker. Whenever he had the chance to choose, he would dig through the bowl looking for a sucker. Sometimes he would pull out two or three. We had so much fun since Mckay really understood Halloween this year. He would make the "ooh, ooh, eeh, eeh" noises like a monkey and scratch his head whenever the people asked. He wanted to get JJ involved as well and helped push the stroller around the neighborhood. He does a good job at being the big brother. By the time we circled around the neighborhood, JJ was asleep and Mckay was poopedand ready for bed, even though he wanted to keep going. We came home, gave Mckay a bath and he was ready for bed. We all had a great time!!

Photo in BYU magazine

2008-10-14T07:12:00.000-07:00

Brian went to the BYU football game last Saturday here in Provo. Brian opened up his friend's program/magazine for the game and noticed this picture. The article is about the fans at BYU's stadium on page 68. Our good friend Frank is on the left in the black shirt, Brian is right above him with the hat on, then I am underneath Cosmo the cougar, and Amy is right next to me. This was taken last year at one of the first games when we used to sit on the front row. Brian's friend told him that this picture has been in every magazine so far this year for each home game. Pretty cool!!

Brian fue al partido de football de BYU el sabado pasado. Abrio la revista de BYU y encontro esta foto. Habla de los fanaticos de BYU. Sacaron esta foto el ano pasado y la incluyen en la revista de cada partido de BYU. Nuestro amigo, Frank, tiene la camisa negra, Brian esta mas arriba con el gorro, yo estoy debajo del Cougar (mascota de BYU) y mi cunada esta al lado mio. Ahora somos famosos!!

One successful Hunting Trip after another!

2008-10-13T19:40:00.000-07:00

This was one of the best hunting trips we’ve ever been on. It was filled with a ton of excitement and many stories to share for a long time. Mike and Dad set up an antelope hunting trip in Wyoming through a missionary serving in Fresno from Wyoming. His family went above and beyond to make this trip a success. Dad, Mike, Brandon, Kyle and I left on the 30th from Provo to Wyoming. We arrived that night and scouted the place out. The next morning, opening day – Oct 1st, we had three nice bucks cleaned and ready for the meat locker by 7:30 am. It was incredible!! Three shots, three dead bucks. The guy who let us hunt on his land was awesome as well. We did have to share the land with 6 guys from Minnesota, but they didn’t have the audacity or marksmanship skills as us Haroldsen’s. We heard 8 or 9 shots from their side and saw zero animals killed when we left. We had a BBQ that night and headed back to Provo the next day. On the way back we stopped by two sites that the Mormon pioneers passed through on their trek to Utah. The first was Independence Rock where the travelers signed their names in the rock (a ton of names are still there). This is also in the old school computer game, The Oregon Trail, if anyone remembers playing it. The second site was Martin’s Cove where the saints were temporarily stranded in the snow. It was really neat to see! Dad entertained the thought of serving a summer mission there until he realized there is no movie theatre, no tv, no BYU games, no family around, and no store with diet Mt. Dew! On Friday we went to a small creek in Provo Canyon to see if the rainbows were spawning yet. Unfortunately they weren’t but Brandon enjoyed getting dressed in fly fisherman’s gear anyways. Saturday morning, Patrick took us duck hunting. He is a true stud!! He set up at 4am just to get the secret spot for us. We went out with Allen at 5:30am and met Patrick there. It was a heck of a death march through mud and 7 foot weeds to get out there (90 min walk one way), but it was well worth it!! We limited out in 1 ½ hrs, and that’s only because we were picky about which ducks to shoot. We could have easily limited out in 20 mins. It was another hunt to remember!!

Like I said, this trip was filled with many stories. It was fun to hang out with the guys, especially when you don’t see them that much. Kyle said his favorite thing about the trip was messing around with “Grandpa” (more specifically, pulling out Grandpa’s arm hairs and receiving the consequence of a horse bite to the thigh from grandpa for doing it). Brandon and Kyle could not stop laughing the entire trip because of “Grandpa”. Dad did have some great quotes that will never be forgotten on this trip. Anyone who knows him will agree that he is something else to be around. Here is a list of some quotes, just to name a few of them:
- After arriving as guests at the home in Wyoming the day before the hunt, the mom of the missionary asked the kids what cereal they’d prefer in the morning. The kids bashfully said lucky charms, then dad patiently waited and excitingly said in a very serious way, “I like Sugar Smacks!”
- While driving through the ranch just before sunrise we spotted a nice buck to shoot. We all told dad to shoot it quickly. It was just getting light and dad couldn’t see all that well. A few great quotes came at this moment. “I can’t see if there’s a bullet in the chamber!!!” – repeated 8 times very loudly with the antelope 40 yards away. After Mike says, “Brian, you just take the shot before they run away”, dad yelled out, “NO, I’M TAKING THE SHOT!!” then…“I can’t see if there’s a bullet in the STINKING chamber!!!” – 4 more times. After the bullet was in the chamber and ready to go, “Ok, the first one, right? (the buck was the 2nd one in the herd)” Luckily, the buck walked up on the ridge and you could easily see his antlers, and then of course, dad’s the best shot out of anyone I know and that was the end of that.
- On the death march out to the duck hunting spot, we were all dying, walking through the mud and weeds when dad says, “I hope one of you knows CPR because I’m about to have a heart attack!”
- Finally, we had 34 ducks between the 5 of us (limit is 35) and we passed up tons of smaller ducks while waiting for one more big duck to fly over to shoot. Out of nowhere, dad pops up out of the weeds and blasts a lonely duck flying by and yells out, “There’s your big one!” The funny thing about this is it was another small duck, but who’s counting? It was an unbelievable shot!

This trip only solidifies the fact that I have the best dad in the world!! I’m pretty sure that Brandon and Kyle would agree that their grandpa is the most fun and most amazing grandpa in the world as well. I wouldn’t have it any other way!! This was not only a very, very successful trip, but also one with lots of memories that we will never forget!!

Mckay doing push-ups at 18 months

2008-10-07T08:14:00.000-07:00

This was recorded a few months ago when Mckay was 18 months old. He started doing pushups like his dad when he was about 15 months old. Usually when we take his shirt off to take a bath he runs over to do a few pushups before getting into the bathtub. Mckay is one funny kid!!

Este video fue grabado hace 3 meses cuando Mckay tenia 18 meses. Emepezo a hacer flexiones como su papa cuando tenia 15 meses. Usualmente cuando le sacamos la camisa para banarse Mckay se pone a hacer flexiones antes de meterse en el agua. Mckay es tan chistoso!!

JJ loves to laugh

2008-09-28T20:32:00.000-07:00

JJ empezo a reirse la semana pasada. Le encanta conversar y reirse cuando le hablamos. Puede distinguir la voz entre su mama, su papa, y su hermano. En realidad cuando Mckay le habla, JJ abre unos ojos tremendos como diciendo, "!alli esta mi hermano otra vez!" Mckay esta ansioso de que JJ crezca para que puedan jugar la pelota. !Estan tan hermosos, los dos!

JJ started laughing last week. He loves to talk and converse and will laugh when we talk to him. He can tell the difference between his mom's voice, his dad's voice, and of course, his brother's voice. When he hears Mckay's voice he opens his eyes wide open as if he were saying, "oh no, there's my brother again!" Mckay can't wait until JJ can play sports with him. Both of them are so precious!!

Flowers for Mommy!!!

2008-09-27T09:36:00.000-07:00

I was washing the dishes and heard Brian and Mckay come back from grocery shopping. I heard Mckay outside on the front porch saying, "Mommy, mommy!" I went and opened the front door and I saw this precious little guy holding a huge boquet of red and yellow sunflowers. When I saw him my heart melted. He said, "Mommy" as he handed me the flowers, then gave me a kiss. Thank you daddy and Mckay for the beautiful flowers! There was no reason for the flowers. They were just to say I LOVE YOU. I have the most amazing boys in my life!!

Viva Chile!!!

2008-09-27T09:09:00.000-07:00

El 18 lo pasamos con la familia de checho.. comimos unas ricas empanadas (la receta de la mamita Carmen) y me quedaron super buenas. Checho preparo el asado y mientras tanto Mckay estaba aprendiendo a jugar golf con el papa. Lo pasamos super bien. Era como estar en Chile. Despues de comer nos tomamos unos ricos mates. CHI,CHI, CHI, LE, LE, LE, VIVA CHILE!!!

Chile's Independence Day!!! It was like being in Chile. We spent the evening with Checho's family along with some other Chilean friends. I made my grandmather's recipe for empanadas. We had a great BBQ and ate a ton of food. Brian and Mckay practiced a little golf while the food was cooking. We had a great time!!

THE BYU GAME!!!

2008-09-14T16:19:00.000-07:00

Brian and I went to the BYU vs UCLA football game on Saturday. It was so much fun!! We stopped by to tailgate with Kristin and Bjorn before the game. The game was great! It was pretty much over by half time (BYU was winning 42-0). All of the starters for BYU were taken out right after the half and we still kept making touchdowns. BYU ended up winning 59-0 (I got tired of slapping everyone's hands with so many touchdowns!). After half time we sat down on the second row behind the UCLA bench with Brian's friends. Brian and his friends gave the UCLA players a hard time the whole second half of the game. It was pretty funny! We had a really good time, especially since we beat UCLA so bad.

Right before the BYU players came running out at the beginning of the game they played this video on both screens for everyone to watch (Cougar versus Bruin). It was pretty cool and really got the crowd fired up.

(Right before the extra point on the last TD scored with 38 seconds left in the 3rd quarter)

Checho and Mandi watched Mckay for us while we were at the game. We came back to find Mckay enjoying the day, riding on his tricycle with Mandi. Checho decided he needed a new hair style for the day and gave Mckay a new look. Mckay thought it was pretty cool. After a few weird looks at Costco, I decided to change his style back to normal.
Here is Mckay's normal style. I cut his hair on Friday. Brian explained to me that he is the barber of the family for the boys because now Mckay's haircut looks like Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber. We comb it to the side so that it doesn't look like this. I don't think it turned out too bad.

Here we are!!!

Brian's Birthday

2008-03-06T22:15:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday Brian! Feliz Cumpleanos, Brian!
Brian burned his face ice fishing in the morning. He had a red face for a few days. Se quemo la cara cuando fue a pescar en la manana. Estuvo rojo por tres dias.

Here is Brian ice fishing at Strawberry Reservoir. He caught 16 fish on his birthday! This is one of his favorite things to do in the winter.

Here is Brian and Moises on their way back from ice fishing. You have to click on the photo to make it bigger and see all of the deer on the side of the mountain behind them. There are around 100 deer and one elk at the very top. Incredible!!

Time with the family

2008-01-27T10:21:00.000-08:00

We went and visited our family in Chile this January. We had an amazing time there!!! We were there for a total of 17 days. Mckay was in heaven. It was sad to leave the nice weather and come back to the cold. Here are the pictures of the many things we did. It was so great to see everyone again. We miss them so much already.

This is our family picture. From left to right is Brian, Mckay and Betsy, then Robinson and Margarita (Betsy's mom and dad), then Hosman, Karina, Javiera, Fernanda and Valentina (Betsy's brother and his family), then Tata Raul and Mamita Carmen (Betsy's grandparents), and finally Tomas (Betsy's younger brother) and his friend (not his girlfriend for those single ladies interested and waiting for him to come to Utah).

Here is Mckay with his cousins, Titi, Javi, and Ferni.
Mckay with his grandma and grandpa.

Mckay ate and ate and ate. He especially loved the fruit!

Ferni let Mckay try some of her ice cream but he refused to give it back.
The three of us with Betsy's other grandma.
Mckay loves playing in the water.

Mckay got soaked playing in the water. He then started spraying everyone else.

Mckay is really independent and prefers to feed himself.
Here he stuffed cookies and ice cream in his mouth before anyone could stop him.
