New york

We took the red eye to New York, we didn't want to miss a second of any fun that we could be having. We couldn't check into the hotel as early as we thought we could so we changed are clothes in the bathroom of the hotel, and while walking around we found a store that had make-up! So here we are doing are make-up . I love red eye flights!

Here is Grand Central station  My mom and aunt learned the subway! It was so nice to not have to walk everywhere.

Yummy Pizza! 

Time Square at night. I see way they say the city that never sleeps! 

Sanddunes

My cute Boys!


Boys will be boys! (even when they are in there 30's!) Here are a few pictures of Jared and his brothers at the sand dunes. No one died but Jason got hurt, he rolled the 4-wheeler over him!

Hi!

So we aren't dead, we are just busy! I think one of the only reasons I am making a post right now is cause Addi is doing my hair! I love it when my kids play with my hair. Most of the time I have to bribe them to do it, but addison will play with it without bribes. Most of the time when she is playing with my hair we have to call Jared in to undo the brush that got stuck!

YEAH !!!

Some very nice people gave us an offer on our house!! So right now it is under-contract and we should close on in Feb 18! It is such a stress relief to know that someone is buying it. (I just pray that everything works out.) Work is going better, but I still miss MVH and all the great people there. Not much else is new, just hope that it will snow or the weather will do something, the air here is GROSS!

POOR POOR ME!

For those who know me, know that I either have a wall up and don't let people in or the wall is down and I expose everything. Jared tells me that my wall is up way to much! So i started my new job last Tuesday. I was excited and had the first day butterflies at the same time. Of coarse I was a little overwhelmed by all the different things they do, but still it was ok. Then I asked her the days that your are scheduled to be on-call do you always go in and she said YES. After she said this I had to do everything in my power not to start crying. I don't want to work full time as it is but to work (7) 12 hours shifts in a pay period is asking way to much of me and work is 5-5 that is such a crappy time to go to work. (I know i am way to selfish and maybe this is my punishment until I learn to give more.) So when my shift is over I go get in my car I call Jared and tell him I hate it and the flood gates open, I cried the the whole way home, not just little tears but BIG crocodile tears. I even passed up going to a free dinner at Chili's with my sister. So since that day my motivation is at 0, I can't get in the ' go and get it done groove.' I am sure like most things this will pass and I will be fine. Thaks for letting me get this off my chest, I feel better already!!

We moved

So many of you know this already. I think the move for me was bitter sweet for me. All the kids where excited to go to a new school and I think deep down Jared was excited to start school again. The day we moved it was 8 degrees outside. It took 6 hours to load the u-haul. It was like putting together a puzzle. When we finally got to Bountiful people came running out of there house to help us unload. ( you don't realize how much crap you have until you move and then you question yourself do I really need all this stuff.) Thanks to all you of that came and either helped load or un-load us.... or packed or un-packed our crap. But the person who couldn't be there, but wanted to let us know how much she cared bought us Mandarin for dinner. (Thanks grandma Tina you are the best.)

Sundance

A few weekends ago we went up to Sundance to have a picnic and go on a hike to cascade falls. The weather was really nice and Austin said the colors looked like fruity pebbles! We had a lot fun even though we didn't know where we where going we just found the trail head and went up!

white trash

Awhile a go my camera broke, and then my phone. So my mom got a new phone and gave me her old one. After having it for about 1 week this is what happened! So I ordered a new phone cause i couldn't use this P.O.S one anymore and the other day I left to work sad cause I thought I had washed my new phone in the waser!! Zac heard it ringing and found it in the clothes hamper!! My luck with electronics isn't so good!!

Where have you been!

So i told my sister that I don't post cause the only person to look at my blog is my grandma! I guess I was wrong and have a lot of blog stalkers that look at my blog! haha But there where a lot of comments of people saying "it is about time" "we missed you" "it has been such a long time since you posted" and so forth. There are alot of you that haven't posted since AUG yeah mine was JULY but still I am not the only slacker! I wish I could say the reason I havn't blogged is cause my husband surprised me with a 3 week trip to Europe followed by a week long cruise to the Bahamas! The scary picture I posted above was me and Kiley relaxing in the pool by the beach in Florida! Just kidding it was Park City

Addison's First Haircut

When Addison was around a year her hair started to have natural curl to it, so I didn't want to cut the cute little curls off. As her hair got longer the cute curls weren't so cute anymore and it started to look more like a stringy mullet. So here she is with her new look, she doesn't look so baby anymore. She looks more like a big girl now! (that makes me sad)

Addison's First Haircut

I am making a POST !

I know it has been months since i posted. The only good reason I can come up with is my camera died, and I spend all of my free time looking at all the other cute blogs. So for all of you Blog Stalker's this is for you!!!

More BaseBall Pics

Here are some more Pictures of Austin playing Ball. He is so good and he is starting to get competitive. When he gets someone out on base he tells them they are out and they need to go sit in the dugout. He is also very nice when he plays he tells the runners when to go, he will even tell them if they can run an extra base! He is really a natural athlete. He does not get that from me, i can barely walk without falling down! haha

Raspberry Shakes

When we where up in Bear Lake we went and got some of the famous Raspberry Shakes. They we so dang dang good and they are HUGE. So the boys shared one, Kiley and I shared one and Jared and Addison where going to share one. When Addison saw Jared's cup and then looked at her cup she decided that she didn't want to share she wanted BOTH. And of coarse we do what ever she wants so she won't cry. But she still cries even when she gets what she wants. ( you think we would learn) So when she wasn't looking or couldn't see through the crocidle tears Jared would steal a bite or two! We Love Addison to death cause she is so darn cute but there are days i wish she weren't so cute cause then maybe it would be easy to tell her NO!!!

Bear Lake

Here are some pictures from when we went up to Bear Lake. We sat on the beach for about 30min and then we left. The wind was blowing so the sand was hitting us and it hurt! So we went back to the condo and swam. We had to beg the kids to get out.

ART

If I asked you who do you think did this art what would you say? Austin, Zac or maybe Addison, the answer to that question is Jared/Me. Jared drew the picture and i painted it (Jared can draw basic things pretty good.) The little person with babies on her lap (yes those are babies) was done by me. Jared told me what needed to be done and I tried to do it. I have NO artistic talent as you can see. So when I say i can't draw a stick figure i am serious. The reason behind the art is, Jared had to take an art class so that he can teach school. So now we just wait until a Principle will hire him.

Austin playing ball

Austin up to bat! I thought i had more pictures of Austin playing ball. He isn't on a good team this year, it is like watching T-ball all over agian. The kids don't know where to throw the ball or they run with the ball. Austin gets bugged by it. He is doing good this year loves to play first, or pitcher (which is really just to hand the play to the coach so he can pitch it. He played catcher for the first time at his last game and now likes that postion. He truley likes any postion that there is a lot of action. I told him to catch the foul balls in the air and the batter would be out so he said ok, and he caught the next foul ball. He would like to play longer this summer so i am going to try and find a excelerted team that he can play on.

T-Ball

KILEY playing t-ball. She plays for the Royals, watching t-ball is funny. They catch the ball and then wait until the coach tells them where to throw it. Kiley says it is fun to play.

Kiley Graduation

Kiley graduated from Kindergarten on May 22. She is so excited to move on to 1st grade. She already has her lunch number memorized! She has grown so much this past year, she had her kindergarten test on wed and got 100% and all she could do was smile and talk about the chocolate kisses that Mrs. Davis gave her.
