Birthday Shinanigans!

2010-04-16T16:11:00.000-07:00

I think it is safe to say Jace enjoyed his 8th Birthday! The day started out with doughnuts at school then we picked him up early to see How to Train a Dragon in 3D (Such a fantastic movie)and then after dinner went for soft serve! Still can't believe I have an eight year old...so weird! But very proud to say he is mine! Love you Mr.

Sexy Thigh Highs

Paul Hurt his Knee at work in November. He finally had surgery February 15 it went very well they were able to repair his ACL and Meniscus. He wears a brace and walks with crutches for at least 3 more weeks and he goes to therapy twice a week. Its has been a little different around our house having Paul home all the time. I enjoy his company very much but miss my routine a bit.(This pic was right when we got home from surgery he had to wear the sexy thigh highs to prevent blood clots)

Kenli's first Kinder Field Trip

2009-12-06T08:05:00.000-08:00

We had a great time at the farm picking veggies, petting goats, playing on the playground, and taking a hay ride! It was a long day that ended in dirty farm feet and a very long bus ride home!

The Human Body

2009-11-06T19:23:00.000-08:00

Jace has monthly family projects for school. October they were learning about the human body so the assignment was to make a diagram using anything around the house. We all had such a good time working together... my favorite parts are the feet (we used a Maci's foot prints!) and the knee caps (we used bottle caps he he)!

Monkey See Monkey Do

2009-11-01T10:56:00.000-08:00

Do I even have to say how freaken cute she is? I didn't think so... Miss Maci loved Halloween her favorite part was the lolly pops! She was so good for all are Halloween events even when she was over tired she kept on keepen on!

Sitting Boy Say Hooow!

2009-11-01T10:48:00.000-08:00

Projects, Projects, and more Projects

2009-10-23T12:54:00.001-07:00

Trick-or-Treat smell my feet...how fun are these!? thanx so much Aub for coaching me on the sewing

! I just keep thinking how cool it would be if I had something like this from my childhood that I could pass down to my kids! AFTER

BEFORE

So I bought paint for my kitchen during the summer and I finally tackled it with lots of help from my honey! Its pretty appleiciouse if you ask me now I cant wait to paint my cabinets!

1 of Maci's Many Hobbies

2009-09-28T19:35:00.000-07:00

This little girl like many children her age love the toilet paper! We are very good at keeping her away from toilets and toilet paper usually but every once in a while a door gets left open which results in a mess and a very happy baby girl! After she was done playing in it we sang the clean up song and she helped me pick it all up!

Getting to know Maci

2009-09-17T21:22:00.000-07:00

I don't know about all of you but I love getting to know my kids! Today I learned that Maci loves sugar snap peas. I pulled a hand full out for my self and as usual she wants whatever mommy has. So I handed her one thinking she would put it in her mouth and spit it out. But no she chomped away and signed more and pleases so fast you would think she was having a seizure! So I sit down to share with her and she was shoving them in her mouth as if she new the faster she ate them the less I would eat an the more she would get! Now if I could just get my Honey to eat something green!

Results of an All Night-er

2009-09-16T14:01:00.000-07:00

Most everyone has seen the unfinished bed spread I was making for Kenli! Well after a year of sitting in a closet Aubrey got me motivated to finish it. I had trouble deciding weather to hire someone to professionally quilt the blanket, just tie it, or attempt to quilt it myself. I'm not a big fan of the tie look so Aubrey convinced me that we could quilt it(even though neither of us had ever done any quilting). Aub was able to borrow a quilting frame and we got started Monday afternoon, we weren't able to get very far before I had to be home for the kids. I headed back to Aubrey's after the kids were in bed to work on the quilting some more. We didn't really know how long it was going to take but enjoyed talking and stitching (I did most of the talking and she did most of the stitching!). For anyone that knows us we can get a little carried away with are crafting! And now we are happy to say we know how long it takes to quilt a blanket! We finished the stitching about 5am and then having only a half hour before needing to be up to get the kids ready for school we decided there was no point in going to bed why not sew the edges of the quilt and have it completely finished! I love the result sooooo much it turned out so much better than I imagined! I am very very grateful to have such an Awesome, Amazing,Smart,and Talented sister so close I am so very blessed! I love you Aubrey Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Birthday Girl!

2009-09-03T22:09:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday my sweet baby girl! Your first year has been so much fun! I hope the next year is as wonderful as the last(if only it could go by a little slower)!

Potty Training a 11month Old!

2009-08-20T13:13:00.000-07:00

Yeah right I am not that stupid! She did go poop on the potty though amazing right? So Maci and I had just had a shower and I always let her free bird for a bit afterward... well I was brushing my hair an all of a sudden I hear her start grunting so I grabbed her a did the only thing I could think of and sat her on the potty. She immediately started pooping and when she finished she giggled as if she new what an accomplishment it was!

Back to School

2009-08-18T14:59:00.000-07:00

There was a lot of rushing so the pictures are not that great! But the kids were stoked to start school! Kenli started kinder and she was not nervous at all she could not wait(nothing like her mother was)! Jace was ready and handled it like an old pro!

Baby's 1st soda!

2009-08-18T14:35:00.000-07:00

2009-07-13T15:59:00.000-07:00

The parade was fun as always unfortunately I was not very good about taking pictures so this is all I have. I am really sad cause Kenli an Maci had home made matching outfits and I didn't get even one pic of Maci. I also meant to get one taken of all of us and as you can see that didn't happen either! Oh and Jace is super happy cause he had a bad stomach ache that miraculously healed after a trip to the restroom!

My girls got shots. Maci had to get her 2 months she received 5 and Kenli was behind in her shots so she had to get 4. They both did great Kenli was very brave and went first! The nurse who gave them was awesome she did it very quick she gave Maci 2 shots before she realized what was happening they both only cred for a second.

My little Princess

2008-10-11T15:04:00.000-07:00

I found a way to make Maci smile I have tried tons of different things and the only thing that works is clapping her hands together and make motor boat sounds! It can't be one or the other it has to be both but it works every time! She has the most beautiful smile it melts my heart!

Cabelas Field Trip

2008-10-11T14:37:00.000-07:00

Kenli went on her first field trip with her preschool class. We had a good time Kenli did not love the huge fish in the fish tanks I tried to get a picture of her next to one and she freaked out! She was a little unsure of a lot of the animals it took a lot of convincing to get her to stand this close to the elephant!

Sweet girls!

2008-09-23T16:51:00.000-07:00

2008-07-30T08:23:00.000-07:00

The car Trouble that never ends!

2008-07-11T19:33:00.000-07:00

The mechanic that we left are car with wasn't able to look at it till Monday. So Monday morning we called to find out what was wrong with the car there response was some oxygen sensor was bad and they replaced it and test drove the car and said it was fixed. We were quite relieved that it wasn't to serious or expensive. So we finished off our vacation and headed home Tuesday morning as planned. We stopped in St. George to pick up our car and drop off the rental. Then 40 miles out of Vegas the car starts chugging just like before. We were frustrated and didn't know what to do. First we called are Mechanic at home and he said that there is usually a bigger problem causing something small like the sensor they replaced and he didn't think we should try to make it home, next we called the guy who fixed are oil leak on the way up and they said we could bring it in but they wouldn't be able to get to it till the morning. So we chugged are way to the exit this time we made it to the first light before it died then we sat in the turn lane for a few lights before it would start again. we were able to chug all the way into the Sunset Station Hotel and Casino were we got a room for the night. The Hotel was really nice and there was lots to do we took the kids to the arcade and had dinner and then retired to the from for the night were the kids crashed out! In the morning Paul took the car in to the shop they fixed a few little problems and had Paul test drive it it drove fine and the check engine light turned off but we were not satisfied that that was the main problem. Mark the guy who fixed the car said that it could be the fuel injector and that it wouldn't show up on the computer as the problem and since are car still had the original and it had over a hundred thousand miles on it it wouldn't hurt to replace it so that's what they did by 3 we were on the road AGAIN the car ran fine the rest of the way and we finally made it home! The moral of the story is we have bad luck with cars on trips and this one will not be making anymore with us!!!

4th Of July Trip

2008-07-10T13:20:00.000-07:00

So we left for Utah on the 3rd at 3am and made it to Vegas about 7 when we stopped for gas Paul noticed smoke coming out of the car and looked to find our oil was leaking so after driving to four different shops we found someone to look at are car and they found the problem and fixed it pretty quick. Back on the road and coming into St. George the car started chugging like it wasn't getting any gas when we were exiting the freeway the car died on the off ramp so we sat for a few and got it started again we decided to try and trade it in for a new car cause there was a dealership right there. After test driving and running numbers we came to the conclusion that it wouldn't work out so plan B was find a mechanic and a car rental. after a half hour of phone calls we dropped a car off at a shop and the rental car place picked us up then we spent another 2 hours trying to rent a car ( everything you could think of went wrong) finally we got back on the road at about 6 and arrived at Missi's around 9! So much for getting there early all though we were happy to get there at all!On the 4th we went to the parade in Provo!
The kids really enjoyed the parade! And after ward we had lunch and went back to Missi's for a nap in the evening Everyone went to Mike and Kelliann's for a fabulous BBQ a soggy water Fight and some super fire works! Kenlee was mesmerised by the sparkler!

Project #2

2008-06-29T13:36:00.000-07:00

Our second project was painting Jaces room we wanted to do it before we go pick him up from Utah. It will be a great surprise he will be so excited!
w e had a casualty Kenlee couldn't hang with the big dogs and she passed out on the floor with her paint roller in hand!

The finished product looks great I love it but it was a little pain full I started taping and prepping at 2 on Sat. I didn't stop painting till 12:30 when Paul made me throw in the towel and go to bed! I finished Sunday morning. The reason it took to long is my tape job did not hold up the way it was suppose to and I had to go back with white touch up paint and fix the stripes it took for ever but it was worth it in the end!

Project #1

2008-06-29T12:42:00.001-07:00

Tess and Aubrey helped me Paint Kenlee and Maci's room. Aubrey got stuck doing the hardest part she measured marked and taped the diamonds. She did an awesome job it took a while but it looks amazing! Thank you Aubrey and Tess! Oh and Paul helped to he taped the ceiling he didn't like me up on the ladder!

New member of our Family

2008-06-29T12:03:00.000-07:00

This is Roxy she came from Utah to live with us! Jace and Kenlee love animals and have been wanting one for a long time! I couldn't handle a dog right now and my sisters cat just happened to have kittens so we decided to give a kitten a try! So far it has been great she is fun to have around and the kids love her! Roxy got her head stuck in this candle stand I was really nervous cause I couldn't get her out and thought I was going to have to call someone to cut it off her! After a few minutes of trying to get her to calm down and turning her every which way I got her out! She doesn't play by it anymore!
Here is her favorite thing to play with as of late! It use to be a decorative wreath but Missi's dog chewed it all up so now we let Roxy play with it!

CHAMPS!

2008-06-11T09:14:00.000-07:00

Paul Played softball on a city league with a bunch of his friends! They played such a great season only loosing a few games! They took first in the league so they got a trophy for that and then Tuesday night was the championships which were single elimination games. They played their first( Paul pitched) and won so went on to play the second were Paul pitched again and they won that one to! The last game Paul started but decided to give there usual pitcher a go at the final game and it was a close game neck and neck the hole time but we pulled it out in the end and took home the big trophy, some sassy t-shirts and the next season they get a discount! It was lots of fun to go watch their games and even better to see them win! Can't wait till next season!

Getting together

2008-06-11T08:39:00.000-07:00

So Saturday my hole family got together! My mom and dad, Brother Mike and his family, and sister Missi and her family all came in from Utah for baby Elsi's Blessing! So we BBQed and swam. Jace Got thrown around a lot by his uncles! And then I made the mistake of pushing Becki in so she made it her goal in life to get me in! She couldn't get me in on her own she wasn't strong enough but Missi so willingly came to help! We all went in but not without a few battle wounds I got smacked in the back of the head with the chair I was sitting in it didn't feel very good!

Colored Eggs

2008-03-21T14:44:00.000-07:00

We had a great time coloring eggs with our cousins. This is one of my favorite past times. My mom always made a big tadoo of coloring eggs and we always had such a great time doing it. I hope that I can help my kids create great memories to look back on as well!

Sledding

2008-03-21T14:18:00.000-07:00

Jace and Dyson sledded till they were frozen they had such a great time. Missi pulled them behind the snowmobile they loved the speed. Dyson loved it so much he wouldn't stop us even if he was falling over!

Snow Stunts

2008-03-21T13:58:00.000-07:00

On our visit with my parents my cousin Tim and his wife and kids came up to play in the snow as well as my brother Mike and his wife and kids. After sledding with the kids for a few hours the guyz took the snowmobiles out for a spin. Boyz will be boyz especially when they are playing with toyz and this is the result luckily they all came back in one piece!

Schnepf Farm

2008-03-06T15:12:00.000-08:00

Jace's class had their first Field trip. I went as a chaperon I was in charge of two boys besides Jace and let me tell you they kept me busy! When we arrived we started our tour on a hay ride, next they got to pick their own turnips, then they played on the farms special playground( this was the kids favorite part), the last stop was the petting zoo were the kids got nibbled on by goats. After we all washed are hands we ate lunch and then it was back to school.

The Stink is gone!

2008-03-06T15:02:00.000-08:00

Yeah Jace got his cast off! Good thing to it sunk bad! The Dr. said its healing great he still has to take it easy for another week and then he should be good. Because Jace is so young the Dr. said in three months you wouldn't even be able to tell it was ever broken!

Polka-Dot Day!

2008-03-06T14:45:00.000-08:00

Jace had Polka-Dot Day at school I totally forgot about it until the morning of when Jace reminded me. So I comb are closets looking for any thing with dots on it and all I could find was in Kenlee's closet and that just won't work! So I colored dots on an undershirt with markers and painted dots on his arms and legs to match. He went to check it out in the mirror and started dancing so I made up a little song for him to dance to "Run run as fast as you can you can't catch me I'm the Polka-Dot Man"!

Another Adventure!

2008-02-20T18:50:00.000-08:00

Jace Jace Jace! Its always something with this kid all though we are impressed that he made it this long without a broken bone! What happened you ask! Monkey bars happened he loves to swing across those bars! We went to the park with some friends and Jace jumps up to show his friend Jack how well he does the monkey bars back and forth he goes. Jace tried to get jack to try it but he was not interested! After several rounds Jace jumps up to grab the bar he got one hand on and couldn't hold on and came crashing down! He scraped his cheek pretty good and grabbed his arm an started crying( He falls all the time and never cries so I new it really hurt) so we went home and cleaned the sand out of his scrape and iced his arm but we weren't sure if we should take him in so we let him sleep on it. The next morning Jace couldn't lift the spoon to eat his cereal. It was off to the pediatrician who sent us for an x-ray( He was so excited about seeing his bones!) that confirmed it was a buckle fracture! Next we had to see a orthopedic Dr. to get his cast. So Jace insisted that I draw on the cast my flames need help but the NO monkey bars symbol was a good touch I thought. Now anyone who has had a cast knows they get real stinky well I thought it took longer then it did to get so smelly but its disgusting!

Build-A-Bear Party!

2008-02-20T18:07:00.000-08:00

Kenlee chose Build-a-Bear for her 4th Birthday party! Attending the party was Aliya, Addison, Tommy, Liberty, and Matti. The party began with the girls picking their animals then they paraded to the stuffing center. The girls made Birthday wishes on hearts and put them in Kennle's kitty and then wished on their own hearts. Next they played duck duck goose while each of them filled their animals with stuffing. Afterwards it was time to bath their new friends! The most complcated part of the process was choosing outfits! You can imagine 6 little girls trying to choose 1 outfit out of 100? Lets just say there was a lot of back and forth and I am happy to say they all came home looking fabulouse! The last stop was the computer to pick a name for the Birth Certificates wich concluded the Build-a-Bear Exstraviganza!

The Party did not end there. We then met at our home for pizza, Birthday cake and Presents. We all had a really good time Kenlee will have such great memories of her first Party and we want to thank all who came and made it such a special day!
