As you have read in my last three posts, I love a lot of things! I also have a lot of FAVORITES!

Story time:) So we were pretty much snowed in at my house and I finally decide its time to take down our Christmas decorations. However, I was so not motivated! I was on the lap top so I decided to burn a new CD with some sweet music to help me get motivated to clean. As I am sitting there going through songs....

Me: "AHHHH, This is my new FAVORITE song! Hun, you should learn how to play this on your guitar!"

A few minutes later...

Me: "EWWW, I have to have this song on here, It is my FAVORITE Rascal Flatt's song"

A few minutes later....

Me: "AW man, This song wont fit and its my FAVORITE!"

Nicholas: "Babe, just so you know, you have said that every song on that CD is your FAVORITE! I think you'll be okay without that one!"

And again, In primary my calling is the chorister and I LOVE IT!!! I have so much fun and the kids are amazing! I taught the kids the song Lift Up Your Voice and Sing on my first Sunday teaching. Well when I taught them I told them that it was my FAVORITE primary song, because it is... A few weeks later we are singing a new Christmas song and I shout out that it is my FAVORITE song. One of the kids raised their hand and with a confused look on their face said,

"But, Sister Mallory I thought Lift Up Your Voice and Sing was your FAVORITE song???"

So I have A LOT, A LOT, of FAVORITES, especially when it comes to music and movies! There are just to many good ones to only have ONE FAVORITE!

(Please tell me I'm not the only one with this problem)

*TEA TIME*

I LOVE TEA PARTIES!!!

Over the three day weekend, I promised Mary we would have a tea party, and man did she hold me to it! It was so much fun! I love these girls and we had a blast! Talking in an old English accent and having the girls join in is just TOO much FUN! I also have the most handsome, most rich, most amazing PRINCE CHARMING!


Thank you Grandma Collen and Aunt Diane for supplying the beautiful tea cups... That I bought while I was traveling in China:) wink wink My favorite story that my Aunt Sylvia always told at her tea parties is one that I am trying to pass on at mine. She always talked about the amazing trips she went on, one in particular when she went to China. She told us that the women were treated so badly and that no one had the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So she smuggled in Books of Mormon to give them. Very secretly they would hold meetings where they would read and study that book and how the women gained strong testimonies. I have always loved that sweet story and I love sharing it with my own twist on what happened and most importantly my testimony of that wonderful book! What is even greater than telling the story is when the girls catch on too. Eva shared that when she was in France she helped give women pass along cards about the church!





Amelia, Amelia, Amelia!!! I could not get this girl to smile for me! She is still beautiful though! I Wish I had a full body picture cause she was wearing my brown boots that went up to her thighs!

EVA! WOW Smokin hott! I hate that I made her look this old! She tried on like 5 dresses and finally decided on this one, mostly so she could wear the shoes!!!

MJ, man alive do I love this girl, and boy did she love this dress!!! She is the best little sister a girl could ask for!

I seriously don't understand how they could stay up till midnight and then be up at 7 in the morning! I, of course, was sleeping when the girls decided they were gonna put more make up on. As you can see they had eye shadow everywhere!

A tea party for breakfast is a great way to start the day!

Bunch of BALLERS!

I LOVE BASKETBALL!!!

Bubba/Jt is #10
The other team's coach got a technical so Bubba got to shoot the free throws...

Macky is #5

I miss playing so much! But, it is almost just as much fun watching my little bros play. My hubby says i'm out of control though and that I get too into it! It's in the blood! I must get it from my dad and my Grandma Tenney!

Ty Guy and Mary

Nate Dawg was the first one up, he was up at 5ish so my parents made him get in bed with them for a few more hours. HAHA The little guys were so much fun to watch! It was the highlight of Christmas morning!

ONCE AGAIN.....

Once again I am just now updating my blog... Updating it with events that happened months ago! Who knows maybe one day I'll be on top of things! Prolly not but one can dream can't she?!?!?

New Addition!

Call me CRAZY, because I am! I kind of surprised my husband with a puppy! He had a boxer when he was younger and had talked about "Rocky" quite a bit. So when I heard from a friend that her friend's boxer was having puppies I got super excited! So a few months later the puppies were born, Nicholas had figured out my surprise, (mostly cause I'm like my mom and can't keep surprises a secret for very long!) and we were trying to pick one out. Nicholas liked one and OF COURSE I wanted a different smaller one:) Anyway I ended up just going over and getting the one Nicholas wanted and somewhat surprised him. It took us about a week to name him, (we are in trouble when we have a kid, we'll prolly call him or her IT for a month) we finally decided on JAX. He is super cute and a pain! For some odd reason we kind of like him, and even though my mom won't admit it she really LOVES him the MOST!!!!

These are when he was little, cute and innocent! He is much bigger and not so innocent now!

South Carolina Baby!!!

Nicholas and I had the opportunity to go to South Carolina in August. We went for the Black family reunion, which is my mother-in-laws side of the family. I hadn't met most of them and Nicholas hadn't seen them in like 4 years. It was so much fun! We were there for a whole week that went by so super fast! I had never been back east before so everything was new to me. the weather was actually very nice while we were there, but it was way humid. Everything was so green and beautiful. One thing I found funny was that pine needles were used as decoration. My brothers and I hated (my brothers still hate) the FHEs when we would have family pine needle pick up. So after seeing pine needles around the trees as decoration I just laughed and thought man, we should try that! Here are some pictures I took so many i could have posted a hundred more...

Boiled Peanuts:) This was a first for me and they were really really good! Granddaddy and Grandmama also had a tomato garden so the tomato sandwiches were to DIE for!

This was at the zoo... just a random picture that I thought was funny!

Nicholas and Kennedy




Had to have a kissing picture sorry!

My husband, just chillin! Isn't he HOT!?!?! Yes, Yes he is!

We had the chance to go to the temple in Columbia with the family. It was such a neat experience. I love temples and want to go to as many as I can, so I was so excited. I am so thankful that temple work is important to our family and that we took time to attend.

We also got to go to the mountains in North Carolina and go tubing down a river.(I don't remember what one) It was super fun! Like I said before everything was so green!!! We saw some turtles just floating down with us, it was so cool!!! As we were getting down the river towards the end of our journey... there was this rope swing. All the boys were jumping and swinging away. SO.....

Nicholas: Hey babe why don't you try??

Me: No, its okay... I don't think I have enough upper body strength to hold my body up.

Nicholas: Yes you do, you'll be fine!

Me: Okay, but so help me if you laugh at me your dead!

So I try and as soon as my feet hit the water, I couldn't hold my body up and just splashed! It was UGLY! I guess I felt I was more athletic than that, even though I have no upper body, so I decided to try again. This time I climbed up higher hoping to get more air or something... I really don't know what I was thinking...Anyway I pretty much did the same thing I did the first time but somehow I managed to jam my finger. It swelled up and hurt like crazy... It got to the point where I couldn't even move it. So yeah, it was black and blue no fun at all! Nicholas didn't laugh so I let him live, and he did feel really bad for talking me into trying!

Nicholas drove home after this little trip and this is the family crashed out! We had way to much fun!

Then the Beach!!!! I LOVE THE BEACH! I could have spent a whole week just chillin at the beach! It might be cause I'm an Arizona girl and am not around it a lot but I love it! The water was so warm and we had so much fun in the sun!

This was our last day, and we hadn't taken a picture with just our family so we pulled off to the side of the road, set our cameras on the top of the car and smiled! It was such an amazing trip! We had such a blast and were so lucky to get to go on this vacation! I married into such AWESOME family! I am so glad I got to go meet some of them and spend more time with the ones I already knew! I just wish we weren't so far away!
