Disneyland 2008 Trip

Ok Ok I know I need to update but I have a hard time keeping up with life, facebook, and a blog. Well we left for Disneyland on the 6th of this month we drove straight through and the kids were amazingly good the whole way Hailey didn't even make a peep (thank heavens for portable dvd players). Jeremy's birthday was spent in the park and I think he had a wonderful birthday although I am bad at taking pics so I have none to show of his birthday but he did have fun. I will post the pics hope you all enjoy I really like the Vidio the best Kiya absolutly loves the roller coaster screaming in California Adventure we must have rode that ride at least 10-15 times but watch her face as she counts she is so funny anyway hope you all enjoy.

All She wants for Christmas is her

Of Coarse her pink Ipod nano and her two front teeth!! the other night she worked and worked to get her tooth out she got it so loose and then as always chickens out to pull it out so finally at 11:30 P.M. I had had it and wanted to go to sleep so she finally gave in to letting me pull it and as always freaked out right before. I was so tired I grabbed her put her in a head lock and grabbed it and yanked it what a mean mom huh. She has done the other teeth all the same way she screams the whole 2seconds that it takes and then is soooooo excited that the tooth fairy will come she is too cute. The other front tooth is almost there so I am sure by Christmas she will be our toothless Kiya. Now the funny thing is with all of her teeth they have always came out at 10:00 p.m. or later what is up with this so she thinks she has the coolest tooth fairy ever because we are so tired that we go to the ATM and what comes out is $10.00 we are way to lazy to go get change so that is what the tooth fairy always has brought her WOW I think my biggest $$ from the tooth fairy was mabey $2.00 or $3.00 what is up with the tooth fairy's these days. So when she lost this tooth I told Jeremy it was his turn to go to the ATM and the next morning Kiya came running in and said mom silly tooth fairy she forgot my tooth. I said well she must have been very tried so she will come back for it, she wrote the cutest note and then put it with the tooth she was even more excited when the tooth fairy took her letter with her tooth. I told Jeremy he was fired from the tooth fairy job I guess its a girls job!!!!

Kiya's School presentation

So Kiya had her first class presentation she did so good she had to tell about something that they had done or can do so she chose to show some of her art work. She did great. She even had to go up and do another little girl's presentation for her because she was to shy so the little girl stood by her and kiya told what she had done it was way funny because Kiya gets shy when she has to public speak. I don't know who on earth she gets that from!!

Hailey's Shiner

Ok so Kiya and Hailey were upstairs visiting my Dad and Mom they came up this weekend Kiya was bringing Hailey back downstairs and went to lift her over the gate we have at the bottom of our stairs. She lifted her over and the gate fell and she droped Hailey right on our hardwood floor and as the gate fell Kiya fell on Hailey and knocked Hailey's head right down on the floor I about threw up when I picked her up and this is what we found the biggest goose egg I think I have ever seen. Her mouth was bleeding but that is ok and now she just has a swollen forehead and a big huge bruise the bad thing about it is we were going to have grandkid pictures tomorrow. We still are I hope makeup will cover it up any ideas????? Bruise or no bruise the pictures must go on. P.S. Kiya was just fine Hailey broke her fall!!!!!

Yo Gabba Gabba What!!!!!

Ok so I had to blog about this Jeremy is going to kill me never mind him laying on the couch! This is Hailey's favorite show she is so funny to watch but she totally interacts with it. This show is so weird though if any of you have ever seen it you know what I am talking about. My fav is the peek a boo because she says it and does it I hope you all enjoy. I feel bad I don't blog about Kiya very much but 18 month olds do so much more than 7 year olds do. So watch for upcoming posts about Kiya because we do love her too!!!!!!

WHO AM I (This was fun thanks Trisha and Shaunee)

My Little Peter Pumpkin Pickers

So on monday for family home evening we went to pick out our pumpkins the kids had so much fun. Hailey was so funny she wanted to carry her own pumpkin she was so excited she didn't even notice that we were helping her its a good thing too because I don't think she would have liked it. She got so excited that she fell on the cement and has a big bruise and goose egg to show for it she only cried for about 1 second until she was on to wanting her pumpkin again. We went to this house on 1600 North and they have a ton just set up in there front yard and for a way good deal they are the cutest old couple so if any of you are looking for a place I highley reccommend it I think this place will be our new tradition. I hope you all enjoy the pics.

(YEA SO MUCH FUN)

Love is strange

Our Funny little Quirks-



Trixy:
#1-I still have a blanket that I sleep with it has satin around it and I scratch it until I fall asleep. I have tried to get rid of it but I just can't seem to kick the habit. I have however been able to not take it with me on vacations so I think that is a start.


#2- I bit my nails and the skin around my nails so that I have somthing to scratch my blanket with.


#3- I nagg my husband probably a little to much but if I didn't he wouldn't do a darn thing


#4- I hate chinese food and Jeremy loves it so therefore he can only have it like 1 or twice a year because I can't stand it. YUK!


#5- I don't watch a lot of TV I would rather do anything else besides that unless Army Wives is on and then count me in


#6- I like quiet I hate alot of noise so I am constantly shushing my kids and husband and turning down the T.V.

#7- I say like way to much when I talk

#8- I swear way to much Hailey already says crap so I better watch my Good ______'s

I know I am weird but wait until you hear Jeremy's (jk)


Jeremy:

#1 He snores so loud I think the house is going to come down. Most of the time I end up on the couch because I can only kick him so much in a night


#2 He NEVER listens to me he can be looking at me and shake his head like he is hearing every word I am saying but isn't really hearing me (SELECTIVE HEARING DISORDER)


#3 He NEVER puts the dishes in the dishwasher he just sets them in the sink it drives me crazy


#4 He farts and burps way too much he has me in the habbit (FARTED) honestly


#5 He watches way to much T.V.


#6 He never comes to bed before 2:00 in the morning and then wonders why he is so tired in the mornings


#7 Despite all his quirks I LOVE HIM VERY MUCH and he is an awesome husband and dad he always takes us to do fun stuff. And deep down is very sensitive




So there you have it thanks Jessica you know I always love to do these thanks Lani for starting it and I tagg Trisha, Emily, Michelle, Wendy, Shelly, and anyone else who would like to join in

Wii start them young

Well Hailey's favorite thing to do is play wii with her Dad and Sister she is so dang funny I thought I would share with you. The funny thing is, I think she really thinks she is playing. They learn so fast if she keeps it up she will be a pro by the time she is 2, her Uncle Josh would be proud of her.

On your mark get set walk

Hailey has been working on walking for a while. She has walked around furniture for about the last 4 months but just in the last little bit has gotten more daring we are all so excited she is so much fun. I can't believe they grow up so fast it's so not fair. Hope you all enjoy the video's.
In this one Hailey keeps saying here kitty kitty My mom taught this to her when we were at my Grandma's house she kept screaming at this cat she was so excited and wanted it to come to her so my mom taught her to pull her had toward her and say here kitty kitty she is so funny

Sweet Husband

Well can I just say I have the sweetest husband in the whole wide world the other day he came in from work and then went back outside and a minute later was knocking at the door I was wondering why he was knocking but went to open the door and when I opened it this is what was there. I think this was the first time I have ever gotten flowers for no reason, and can I just say I DO NOT DESERVE THESE if any one should be getting something it should be him. But they are so beautiful and I have loved having them Thanks Jer I love you forever and ever.

Way to go Kiya

Yea Kiya had her dance try outs last week and made company again and the best was all the girls that were on the same company last year stayed the same we were both so happy. We both got attached to everyone on her team girls and moms so we were all so happy when it stayed the same so we are looking forward to another fun filled year. $$$$$$ and time but we love watching her and she enjoys it. We love you Kiya good job. The other pic is with one of her good friends on her team Kacayla

More of Hailey's sleeping adventures

So later that night I had put Hailey in her bed and she talked and talked for well over two hours when it was finally quiet I went into check on her and we found her with her holding her pj bottoms she is so funny we love her so much and I feel so blessed that we got so lucky to have her in our family.

New sleeping position

I went into check on Hailey today while she was napping and this is what I found. I would love to be even half that limber and be able to sleep that sound while doing so, wouldn't you?

Jack Johnson Concert

Well we went to the Jack Johnson concert and he was so cool he was amazing the kids even had a blast. Hailey loved all the airplanes flying over it was at the usana amplitheater anyway enjoy the pics Hailey wasn't really in to getting her picture taken that Kiya was taking she had much bigger plans I guess

Haileys new trick (we call it fake pouting)

And we wonder where she learned it from she had a great teacher

And off to school she went

So Kiya had a great first day of school and she loves her new teacher Mr. Backman I sent the camera with Jeremy to get a picture with her at the school but as usual he failed so this is as good as it gets. Hailey and I miss her but the getting back into the routine of things has been great. So far So good

HI HO HI HO OFF TO SCHOOL SHE"LL GO

Well I must say I always said I would never be a mom that would be happy when it was time for my child to go back to school I thought it was so cold hearted BUT I must say I am a tad bit ready I will miss her and I know Hailey will miss her a ton but it is time to get back in the routine.(And for my poor house to stay clean for more than a minute yea!!!!) We had a fun filled summer full of adventure all summer long. Last weekend we decided to go on one last mini vacation so we went to the Zoo and then on to Park City overnight in which we did school shopping and the alpine slide and coaster it was way fun Hailey was to little but she got to ride the merry go round and she was in heaven. As for the Zoo it kind of sucked because the animals were way to hot so we didn't see most of them and what animals we did see were asleep. So I think we will stick to the zoo in the spring and the fall. Anyway so here are the few pictures of our trip enjoy I so forget to take pictures I am horrible.

Vacation Vacation Vacation OHH MY here is to you Jessica love ya

Well hello there I knew my July was going to be hectic as I knew that all of our family fun and vacation were all scheduled in July I don't know how that ended up but in short summary We went down to my Grandma's and Grandpa's house with my family and we had a blast we rode 4 wheelers and went water sking at the lake I will post all pictures at the end I need someone to come and help me learn how to do a slide show anyway. Hailey loved the water she was mad we wouldn't let her play more in it but due to her tubes being placed two weeks prier I didn't dare let her too much but she had a blast anyway. Kiya always loves the water but this year we couldn't get her to ride the torpedo because of last year it being her fist time I told her if I fell off to let go and she would be right with me but when it came down to it she kept hanging on after I had fallen off and she was a ways away from me I had to swim to her and I think it scared her. So we let her off the hook for this year but next year shes doin it dang it. Anyway Jeremy and Kiya left half way through that vacation to take there own mini vacation with his family river rafting down the Salmon River in Idaho sorry no pictures of this trip I had the camara stupid me I will try and get some from family but you will have to wait Kiya had a blast so did Jeremy. I heard non stop talking from her about this trip ohh and she has a new found love PETER which by the way is her 4th cousin and we have all tried to explain to her that you can't marry cousins but she still thinks she is in love and is going to marry him. Right after they got home I left for 5 days to go to girls camp of course I came home in the middle to make sure everyone was still alive and of coarse they were. They all did great even Hailey YEA Thanks honey for taking time off work you are the best. I had so much fun with the young women and the leaders. Ohh and before camp my Aunt passed away so we had to make a quick trip to Jackson Hole Wyoming. So as you can see I have had a busy month I hope it slows down but have little hope that it will since school will be starting and dance will be in full swing. So hopefully this will satisfy everyone until I blog again so long fair well Ohh and Abbie it's your turn now Im waiting
