Tagged

Well, I didn't get around to doing the all famous catch up post (it was just me, kayden and kyler last night and I could not resist sleeping in bed with them, so that meant a really early bed time for me...double score)...but anyway, Jade Tagged me a while back and its time to make good on my promise so here we go...

It's a 6 Random things/quirks tag...here are the rules:
1- Post the rules on your blog
2- List 6 random things about yourself.
3- Tag 6 people at the end of your post.
4- Let each person know they have been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
5- Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

Let's see...

1 - I cannot drive with shoes on my feet. When I was 16 I was pulling my mom's car into the garage and there is a slight bump between the garage and the driveway and I was going too slow to make it up the bump. Well, I pushed down on the gas, but my shoe slipped and I ended up hitting my dad's work bench, destroying a few tools, and pushing the workbench thr0ugh the back of the garage. Never wore shoes again while driving.

2 - Sometimes when I have to get up late at night, I run back into my bed frantically pulling the covers over me like a little kid who is scared of the dark, monsters, bad men, and everything else that scares little kids.

3 - I am in love with cold cereal. I could eat it everyday for every meal and still never get tired.

4 - My favorite movie is the "Cutting Edge"; I have probably seen it a gazillion times and it never gets old. I love Kate's attitude, it cracks me up.

5 - I really don't like to wear socks and shoes, for no particular reason other then I don't like to. I used to track to classes at Utah State in the snow and my flip-flops...drove my grandpa nuts.

6 - I am a huge cry-baby when it comes to my children, or any child for that matter. I cried at a dance recital one time and I didn't know any of the children in the show, I cried at my girls first soccer game, I can cry just sitting here thinking about them...on the plus side, I have become pretty good at hiding my teary eyes.

I tag...well, I am pretty sure I lost the sad following I had, so if you read this, consider yourself as one of the six :)

I'm Back

and I sure do have a lot of work to do...more to come...but I make no promises on when as I think I said that in December and boy do I look like a fool

Yea Me!

Hard to tell in the picture, but the car is jacked up

Yea for Young Women's...because about 12 years ago I learned how to change a flat tire during a mutual activity. I knew it would come in handy one day so I actually paid attention. If only I could say the same about the class on ironing.

A big thanks to Kayden and Kyler for being so good

And another big thanks to Michael for being on birthday party duty that day

Daddy made a bad choice

Well my dreams of good December blogging kind of got shot (well you know) when the cable man cut the cable wire and then took two weeks to come fix it....but at least this time I took pictures and can back track.

Ok, so going back to a week ago when Daddy made a bad choice. Every night Kyler goes to bed around 7:30, sometimes without food. If that is the case one of us will make her a bottle before we go to bed and feed her so she does not get up in the middle of the night. Her normal routine is to eat and go immediately back to bed. Well, this particular evening I had to bring some work home so daddy was on feeding duty. I have no idea what prompted him to bring Kyler out of the room where I was working to feed her. Oh wait, yes I do...a basketball game was on. Ok, so I have no idea why he thought watching a basketball game in the same room I was working was a good place to feed Kyler.

This is what happened to my sweet sleeping baby...hum, I wonder why she is not sleeping???

She attacked my hair

Watched me work

Helped make Kaylee's bed


And smelled my new deodorant, which smells like cooking vanilla so I am afraid to see what I will smell like when I get sweaty...hopefully its fresh baked cookies, but I highly doubt that

What happened to daddy do you ask? Oh, he got to go to bed, courtesy of mom. I wanted soooo bad to teach him a lesson, but since I was up late working anyway, it made no sense for both of us to be tired. Just my luck, I rarely bring work home and the night I do, daddy pulls a stunt like this.

A loser month because I am a loser

November was a loser month for me as far as posts go, but it was an eventful month to say the least...Things have sure calmed down and I have a pretty darn good feeling smoother sailing is ahead. Thanksgiving was definitely what the doctor ordered for so many thankful reasons and who doesn't love a good trip to Utah to see the famdamly. And I am being serious here; I miss my place of birth and miss the family roots that still remain.

So sadly, with the exception of Kyler's first feeding (see below), all the picture I took for the month will fit easily into this one little post. They have no rhyme or reason and nothing to do with really anything, but they are pictures and special none-the-less...

This was a really cute scene of Kyler snuggling up to Michael...then Kayden jumped in and sort of invaded Kyler's brief moment of snugglness, but that is what families (sister's) do and we love it.

Kayden's "These boots are just cool enough to be on my feet" look

I am not really sure what look Kaylee was going for, but she really wanted me to take a picture. So I guess I will call it the "I really want my mom to take my picture without looking like I wanted her to take my picture" look.

A nice farewell gift as we parted our way's from Utah

This plus about 10 years equals HUGE trouble

No good stories here, just some pictures

So I have been meaning to get the girls pictures taken for quite some time and in the wee hours of the morning, as I was feeding Kyler, I randomly decided today would be the day.

Teigan, the shirts look so cute...I am sad Kyler's does not fit anymore, but I do like the all black.

I cannt speyll

I would like to apologize for all the misspelling you have found in my blog and will continue to find. Spell check can not save us all. I try to go back and correct them, but it is sometimes days later.

Thank you Michael for checking our blog and being my spell checker.

Kyler's First Bite...and other stuff

Ok, ok, this is the last post for today, but as you can see from the heading it is a very big time in Kyler's life. She is now eating rice and oatmeal cereal. Yum!

I don't talk specifically about Kyler much, so here are a few things going on with our little booger.

1) As of about 2 weeks ago she can now roll over from her tummy to her back.

2) Is spoiled rotten with love. You may think being the third child she is slightly attention deprived, not so, she arguably gets more attention then the rest of the people in the house combined.

3) Wants to be held all the time.

4) Is a mommas girl. Sorry Michael, but you know it is true. At least for now.

5) Loves to watch her sister's play, it's mesmerizing for her.

6) Loves to dance with mom.

7) Loves to sleep on dad.

8) Grunts ALL the time.

9) Not really interested in fun baby toys as she is still in love with her fist.

10) Is the perfect addition to our family...WE LOVE YOU KYLER!

At least it gets some use

What does a Rock Star, a Princess and a Pumpkin equal ???

A house of very girly girls on Halloween, who at the moment hate all things scary.

I was pretty proud of Kayden's costume because I made her shirt, and her little rock star tutu. When I was younger my mom would make some of our Halloween costumes, depending on what we decided to be, and I am trying to do the same for my girls. This year was my first attempt.

Kaylee gets her Halloween costume from her mom every year and was excited to wear what mommy Cyndi bought for her.

Kayden and Kaylee were this exact same pumpkin for their first Halloween, which is funny because Michael and I did not meet until Kayden's 3rd and Kaylee's 2nd Halloween. We thought it would be fun for Kyler to also be the pumpkin for her first Halloween, and lucky for us, Kaylee's costume was the right size.

The Kick Off

I thought the perfect way to kick off the Halloween spirit would be to carve our pumpkin's (from the pathetic pumpkin patch) the night before the big day. Too bad no one shared the joy in my pumpkin carving tradition. I thought it would be a good idea for the girls to draw the faces on their pumpkin and then Michael would cut them out...they thought it would be a good idea to just draw on there pumpkin's. Ok, I thought, that is fine...it's late and we still have to get up early for school so we can just carve Kyler's pumpkin. They were not even interested in that, they went off to play school and I sat in the kitchen thinking what the heck is wrong with my children, this is a great tradition. Lucky for me I was able to sucker Michael to come join my fun, which happened to be his FIRST pumpkin carving experience...yep, you heard me right. FIRST.

If you look close you will notice Kayden started playing a game and used her pumpkin to keep score with tally marks...at least they were good for something.
