So pathetic

OK so my kids wanted to play out in the snow so bad, (yes I'm calling this snow) I gave in!! Well of course I had to go take some pictures. I felt so bad their snow balls (for their snow man) I think were more dirt and leaves then snow!! Oh well they had fun and that's whats important right!! LOL
So the cards those are for this months card exchange I had to make wedding, and I thought well you could use it for that or Valentines!!
Then I made that big magnet board a while ago but never got it posted, pictures didn't turn out great but I think you get the idea!!

Its snowing outside!!!

Jayden and Colton are so excited and I can only imagine my kids at school are probably so excited for the bell to ring, but the 2 little boys are sitting here with their noses pressed against the door begging to go outside, I would let them but the wind is blowing so hard I think it would blow them away!! So needless to say Jayden is very mad at me, He says " your not a nice mommy" (pout, lip sticking out)!!

So the birthday was great, my wonderful friends Renee, Sarah and Jenn took me to lunch on Saturday to Red Lobster, and gave me so great presents, and then Connie took me to lunch today to Chili's, I got a birthday card from my sister in law who by the way is STILL older then me!! LOL My sister Lisa gave me a $50 gift card to Maurice's!! Which I already spent on a pair of way cute jeans!! Thank you Thank you to all I love you all!!!

OK so I haven't mentioned that I started working, oh about a week and a half ago or so, I'm serving at the Texas Road House, so so so yummy, its fun and hopefully we'll be able to catch up on everything quickly!!

I have been thinking I have been so blessed with so much, it sometimes just overwhelmes me how much my Heavenly Father loves me!! I am so thankful for friends and all that they have done for me (us) I want them to know how much I love them and how very grateful I am for them in my life and thank you for "listening"!!! I am thankful for family thank you for your love and support and all that you do to help you are wonderful!! I am thankful for a wonderful Husband who is so supportive even though he has one of the most ornery wives ever!! I am thankful for my children I love you with all my heart you are my life!! Thank you for helping and not complaining!! You are the best!!

I have hit my second trimester yay!!! Hopefully not to much longer of this yucky sickness!!

Yayay I am so excited Amy and Kasi get here Thursday night cant wait girls!!

I heard..........

The babies heart beat today, it felt so good to hear, it just kinda puts everything into perspective!! I'm feeling OK as long as I get my Medicine, and take it early enough in the afternoon. Just so tired, I feel so guilty when I don't make it to the gym, because I need to go and keep up my exercise, I m just so worried about gaining to much.
Merissa's birthday was Wednesday, 8 years old, it just seems so crazy how did she grow up so quickly! She is such a good girl, I'm so proud of her and the decisions that she makes, her little friends are coming over today and we are going to the movie, she can hardly wait. Then of course she is the most excited about the fact she is getting baptized February 2ND. She can hardly wait!!
The girls are coming in a couple of weeks, its going to be so fun, I cant wait to see them. It will be kinda sad with Kasi moving and all, but they I think are going to come on Thursday instead of Friday!! Ya ya YAY!!
I sure hope my OLD sister in law had an awesome birthday, even though she is older than dirt now!! LOL Love ya girlie hope that your day was great!! I'm so glad your birthday is before mine!! LOL

Happy New Year!!!

Ok so I was laying in bed the other night, Jayden was on one side of me Colton laying on me, Monica on the other side and Jake on the other side of Monica, and Jayden says to me "Mommy, I just Love you" and it touched me deeply, I of course respond I just love you too!!! But it made me lay there and think, you know this is what life is about, these sweet children, the joy of raising them and having them in our home, it just made me think, I love me life, I love my children, I love my Husband, I love being a full time wife and mother.
It has been such an awesome vacation, way to short but oh so ideal, Christmas was wonderful, Sants brought lots of games and puzzles and that is what we have been doing, playing day in and day out staying up late and reading, just being together!! So awesome!!
I hope the New year brings each and everyone of you and us everything we are all searching for, the greatest desires of our hearts, I know that, as a family we will be adding one more sweet little one into our home on or (hopefully before) around August 1st!! We are very excited to add this last sweet little spirit into our home!! So now you know why I have not posted much, I dont feel to great, the Dr. has givin me something for my sickness and it is helping a ton!! Have a great day!!

Awesome Daddy!!!

Last week, the boys and I rode with Randy to Pangitch

(ok I know I spelled that wrong but not a clue as to how to spell it, so this is how you get it)!! Jayden was so excited because as soon as we got to Cedar there was snow everywhere and he could not wait to eat it!! Yep, eat it, he loves to eat snow, so of course he had to give some to Colton!! My sweet husband, he really didnt have the time to stop and let Jayden play but also couldnt disapoint his little boy. So of course he stopped, Jayden and I built a snow man and had a snow ball fight!! Of course you cant forget all the snow we ate!! YUM YUM!!!

Ok so Sarah, has been trying to get me ( well anyone she can talk into it) to do the freezer dinner thing, so I did it last week, I shopped Tuesday, cooked wednesday, thursday, fridayand saturday, but I have 36 dinners in my freezer, I am so excited because it just takes so much time to cook and costs so much more. I think this has saved me so much, I have figured that I think I spent about $9.50 a dinner, now here is the great part there is 8 of us, $9.50 that is so awesome, that will cut my food bill in more then half!! But boy do I have to tell you I am so glad to be done!! Know you should also know that I love to cook and that was alot of cooking!!

My sweet little Colton went in this morning for his 18 month check, he's doing awesome 24.4 pounds so around the 25 % and 34 inches tall so around the 75 % so of course he looks tall and skinny!! Whats new they all look that way!! Here is my sweet Jayden with his stitches, man he was not happy about those. Hopefully it will be awhile before we have to deal with something like that again!!

Wow it has just been so crazy, this time of year is just run, run, run!! Thanks giving was awesome, it was so great to have all my family here, we didn't have to choose where we were going to spend it, we had both sides of the family come here!! I'm really excited about this book that I am putting together, (and roped a couple of great friends into doing also!!) Its my thankful book I took a picture of everyone on thanksgiving and had everyone write what they are thankful for!! I got I think 14 pages pre-made so I'm hoping to get back to it and get all the pictures printed and put it together!!

I didn't go out black Friday until about 9 a.m. Michale came with me so that was really fun, I think our deal of the day was the leather coats we got at JcPenny for $48 they are originally $200, but I get mine now and she has to wait till Christmas!! What a mean mom!! I did finish her up with some clothes and some boots, I just have to get stocking stuffers and shes done, Jake is about done also, but that is about as far as Ive gotten, I'm debating on the train set at Costco for the boys, the one that has its own table and drawers underneath for when your not playing!! Merissa I think is going to get a Karaoke Machine, Monica is pretty easy I will probably just get her more Polly pockets or maybe some of the pet shop stuff like that!!

The girls performed at the Jubilee of trees, that was a lot of fun then they also have the dickens festival coming up!! Merissa got to do her Show team dance for the first time, she thought that was a lot of fun, and they are hoping to get to do their hip hop dance this time!!

Oh yea before I forget Jayden my sweet boy, ok let me start at the beginning, I was getting my nails done it was about 7 p.m. I get a call from Merissa she says, daddy said to call me that Jayden got hurt and he is bleeding, and dad cant talk cause he is trying to stop the bleeding and he might have to take Jayden to the Dr., so Natalie finishes my nails and I head home and I call home on my way Randy says its not so bad he doesn't think he will need stitches he thinks a band aide will be fine, Im thinking oh good it just must have looked alot worse with all the blood!! So I get home and Randy is just getting Jayden out of the tub and I pick him up and tell him mommy needs to look under his band aide he of course starts bawling his head off and I tell him I'm not going to touch it just look (oh by the way it is still oozing blood down his face from under the band aide!!) so I pull back the band aide, oh my word is that his brain or skull that I'm looking at?? Then of course I scream RANDY!!! He answers back from the other room, I know I just wanted you to be the bad guy and say he needed stitches!! So 6 stitches later and a VERY unhappy little boy that took mom dad and 2 nurse and one Doctor!! He tells me that he was running SUPER fast and Colton wouldn't get out of his way and he fell on the corner of the banister!!!

Universal Studios

The girls performed on friday, it was such a great experience for them!! They did such a great job!! The light was not good so my pictures didnt turn out very good so Im bummed about that, but they were so cute up there on stage, and they were just happy to be there!!

The day at Universal was way fun, they only had 2 real rides but they were both alot of fun, Jurassic park and the Mummy ride! Merissa rode the first along with Monica and Jake, Michale and I then Randy and I switched and Monica stayed the poor little thing was scarred to death! Its really just the end of it that is scary, but she was pretty dang serious that she was never riding that ride again!! LOL

Then of course the other kids were totally excited about the "RED CARPET" LOL we're movie stars, Im so Hot Just a coule of the things I kept hearing!!



Then of course we hit the beach a couple of days, and the kids had a blast Colton sure wasnt sure about the ocean I kinda had to drag him over to it and then would run away as quick as I let him go!!

Home now and its back to running like crazy! But it was a great get away!!
