Oh crap I actually blogged!

Bet you didn't know we had Obama at our Party!
King Mark and Nacho John
Doug, Sally, Mark, Ayden and Xan
Our little Kingdom
Ok so I know I suck so bad at blogging and then I got to thinking...why? It is not like I am so busy in my lovely little life that I cannot sit down to write a couple of lines and let everyone know how we are doing.Matter of fact, most of the time my butt is sitting down anyway so i figured today would be the day I resolved the problem.The problem being my AKA name: Lazy. Also known as Xan(see picture in dictionary). I have decided to stop sitting on my butt letting life pass by saying "Now why am I twenty pounds overweight?"oh yes I have a gym membership but it is just too far away and I am back to AKA Xan. So today I turned on my superhuman power called mom/housewife.Her name is Amaxan ( amazing Xan). She comes out once or twice a year when I feel like I have to prove myself as a women and prove to my husband I am good at something other than spending his money. Well, our money but you know what I mean.so I have cleaned house, put a roast in the oven ( no man can not love a women who's house smells of roast)and got ready for the day, now I am blogging about how awesome I am, only to see my house revert back to its former state by the end of the day! But hey it is great!
All joking aside, everything is going great for this Pulsipher family. Ayden is growing like a weed and is getting more fun every day! He says alot of words and laughs at himself all of the time! one of my favorite things he says is every time he passes gas he says "TOOT!" It is so funny! He is now 18 months old and seriously I know it sounds so cliche' but it has FLOWN by! he was a knight for Halloween and Mark and I had a great time taking him trick or treating. He could say tick o tet which was awesome even though you could barley make out what he was saying, and just like his mom, we found him hiding in the corner the next morning eating candy bars through the wrapper! Mark was a very sexy King/knight for Halloween and was the hit of every party we went to! He is doing good even though it is starting to get closer to snow and winter, everything with work is peachy. He is very hard working and things are moving along well with his business. Laker season has started and so far has been AWESOME! We smell a Championship coming on, no really this time, not like last year. I hope everyone is doing great! I don't even know if any one reads these, but IF you do I am going to be keeping it up better, so see ya later!

Haircut

Update Time!

Ok I never do this blog, I suck... but here I am now writing to tell you what has developed in the World Of Ayden! Ayden has just had his first birthday! Wow did that year go by fast! We had a "I dig being one" party with construction trucks, hammers, yellow construction hats, it was Lovely! The day after that my Mom( Michelle) and Mother- in -law (Sally) convinced me to get Ayden's hair cut! I think it had to do with the fact that 2 people said what a pretty girl I have and would your little girl like a booster, that day that I said oh yes let's go! Well not to bragg but my kid is the bomb! He didn't even flinch for his haircut, and he loved it! they gave him his own personal comb to use and everything it was a great event.. so here are some pictures of Ayden and Mark at their birthday party and Ayden's Haircut! Love and miss you all!

Laker Game in Seattle

This past weekend we had the opportunity to go to Seattle and watch the Laker game! I bought Mark tickets on the 7th row for Christmas this year. We ended up taking Mark's brother Adam (his wife was pissed) and Mark's best friend Jared with us also. We decided to go a day early so we could see a little bit of Seattle so we booked a hotel for Sunday, Monday, and we would go home on Tuesday. So I looked online to research what hotel we should stay in, what rate we could get and one that would be Great but still reasonable.I looked at like 100 hotels on Expedia.com and found this really cool looking hotel called Hotel Max in downtown Seattle, it was modern and looked like it had really cool amenities, but Mark insisted on us being in walking distance to Key Arena where the game was, so we didn't have to find and pay for parking. So I read the reviews for this Hotel one block from key Arena Called the Mediterranean Inn, people gave it four stars, said the beds were comfy and the service was great.Not to mention it was only $95.00 a night. Ye-haw I love Hotels, it is really one of my favorite parts of the trip, someone cleaning you room, leaving new towels, a mint on your pillow. Oh I couldn't wait! We get to Seattle at about 7:00pm and after a wonderful dinner with my friend Tippy(who has just introduced me to her girlfriend Sarah who she is now engaged to)We make our way to the hotel!As we ride up the Elevator I am thinking "oh this could be nice i mean the elevator is clean and it is really close to the arena." But I am really thinking OH S*%@! How bad is this going to be?! We open the door and it hit me BAM! You are in the seventh layer of HELL! There is not enough room to all get through the door without making it into the entire room, there are two double beds, not queen, double! The comforters were all stained and gross oh my gosh it was bad!The comfy beds I was promised felt like I was sleeping on a board! And you know what I was the most upset about? Those stupid people who said this was a good hotel! They must have had a similar experience and just wanted to screw over the next little traveler! The boys wouldn't let me check into a new Hotel although I was so tempted to burn the place down, the trip was still fun! We ended up running around town(which I will never do without another girl to convince them we have to go shopping)because they just sat in massage chairs in Sharper image while Ayden and I roamed around by ourselves in the rain. But the Game was GREAT! The seats were great and the game went into over time and we won!So over all the trip was great,but my words of advise are: Never go with men who will not go shopping and are to cheat to go up the Space needle(ADAM AND JARED)ad NEVER LISTEN TO THE ROOM EXPERIENCES AT EXPEDIA.COM!
You might get screwed over!

Ayden's First Christmas

Croopy Christmas

Ok what is it about the Holidays that can bring out the worst in you? I mean this year I really sucked! I couldn't wait for Christmas to be over! I am usually the one who loves Christmas and decorating and getting presents for everyone and all that jazz. But for some reason I have been a Scroogette. IT IS NOW OVER! yeah yeah yeah! Don't get me wrong, Santa was good to me and it has been really fun seeing all of Mark's Family, but I am POOPED! We have been out till like 1 am every night and it has been snowing like crazy here so driving home on icy roads, scary.It takes us 45 min to go 22 miles. Anyway let me get to the point of why Christmas kinda sucked this year.. Ayden poor little Ayden got Croop on Christmas Eve! I am not talkin a little bit of a cough, I am talkin about a sea lion jumping into my sons body and hacking up a cough! The poor kid couldn't get to sleep, I tried the cold air out side( like the DR said) and the steaming shower( like the DR said) and nothing seemed to help. What made the situation worse was the fact that we were at my mother and father in laws house and it was packed with our awesome family, so we slept on an air mattress on the Floor in the Basement. Now this wouldn't have been so bad if the air would stay in and that thing would stay firm, and if my adorable little nephew Nathan didn't have an ear infection and cry from 1-3 AM! So every time Nathan screamed, Ayden woke up, (don't tell Jessica she feels bad already) needless to say we got no sleep. So then I spent all of Christmas being the emotional wreck I am because I got no sleep and I am worrying about my poor little sick child, stressing that I really need to take him to the Dr,yet it is snowing and I am praying he will make it till tomorrow!LUCKILY he did, he made it till the next day and I took him to the DR who then juiced the kid up on steroids( don't worry we didn't work him out so he won't beat up any kids with his super strength) But we will have to confess of his use when he becomes a pro baseball player. Anyways I am DONE being dramatic, everything is fine and I am going to chill out, ( it is very therapeutic to write all of this out)!
