A quick picture update

So I have been an awful blogger!!! I have been busy. I just wanted to quickly post some pictures from the beginning of my summer. These are pictures from Kyleigh's birthday party and my little sister Suzie's graduation from High School. Yay!! I will post more of an update later. Also stay tuned for pictures from the Virgin Islands.



Everyone always helps with presents

This is my nephew Kason, it is funny because......

this is his Sister Alyx. I do not know why I got

pictures with both of them upside-down, but I

thought it was funny!!

is a little off. Cute little 2 year old.

Mother, Suzie, and my dad

My sisters. Suzie, Rachel, me and Deanne. Suzie has

been rooming with us all summer!!

Our trip to the Zoo

The past two days Lance did not have to work, wow that rarely happens two days in a row. We took advantage of it though, because I start summer school next week. Tuesday we went and saw Wolverine and Wednesday we went to the Zoo. It was a perfect day for the Zoo, the animals were still a little lively. Jaxon just wanted to see Lion Kings the whole time. Kyleigh just trailed behind him.

This is Jaxon growling

Seriously, Jaxon tried to set the animals free. He said they looked sad:(

Oh, I just love this picture

When we first arrived. Jaxon was our navigator

We have cute double doors to the master bedroom, and I love the vaulted ceilings.

I had a hard time with the angles

Shower and big wonderful tub.... LOVE IT

Huge master closet, we have a lot of work to do to fill it up:):)


It's a great house, once you get over all of the problems. This week our bathroom outlets do not work:) Oh what an adventure. I have not put up any decorations, but that might be this week's project before summer school starts. Well that is my house, hope to have a big party one of these days.

My baby sister's last Prom

So yesterday I got to go help my little sister get ready for prom. She has grown into the most beautiful amazing gal. I am so proud of her. She had a track meet all morning (and got her best time running in the rain), then got to go to prom. She will be going to Weber this fall and is coming to live with me this summer. I am so excited!!!! Jaxon was so cute, he kept saying that she was a princess going to the ball, and he wanted to dance with her. I was tying up the back of her dress and he said mom are you done yet, I want to dance with the princess!!! So cute! The pictures are not the greatest quality because I had to buy a disposable one. I left mine at home. Well Suzie if you ever read this, I hope you enjoyed your night. Love ya.

Yes, I am alive!

So let me just tell you, I have been one busy gal. We moved into our house Monday April 6th, and it has been non-stop adventure! I will list the things that have gone wrong so far, first; no weather stripping on the back door and our dishwasher did not work. Ya, they came and took care of both of those quickly. Our master bathroom shower doors were missing when we moved in as well. It is a little unnerving when you sign for a new house, and it is not even finished yet. Well, that was taken care of within a few days. So yay, I think I can finally start making myself feel at home.......... NOT.......... then come the big problems. I came home from shopping on Friday and walked into my basement to find water. Lance was not home, so I called my father-in-law. He come over and was nice enough to help me clean it up, and said the sewer probably backed up, how lovely. Lance made some phone calls Saturday morning and a plumber came and I guess fixed the problem.( knock on wood). So then a couple days later it rains and rains and rains. Lance decided to check the basement, oh now we had water coming in from the window. It actually looked like it was coming right through the foundation. AWESOME! Our basement is the lowest point, so their was a nice little pond Lance got to take care of. He dug a little trench for all of the water to go into, so that helped it. I guess they still need to landscape, so that is the reasoning behind this. WHATEVER!!! I thought I bought I new house so I would not have to deal with leaks and sewege backups and problems that old houses have. I know it is the joy of being a homeowner, but come on! My house is under warranty for one year, so lets just hope that everything that will go wrong will go wrong within the next year!!!! To top it off it is the end of the semester. I will write more about school later because that's a whole other ten pages of writing. I just wanted to let anyone who reads my lovely blog know that we are good, just stressed. I don't even know if anyone will take the time to read this, but maybe you can give me some comments to boost my spirit:) I will post pictures probably toward the end of the week of my lovely house.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

So today is my birthday and I am just sitting here waiting for my kids to wake up and play with me. Lance had to work all day today, so he took me out all day yesterday. He took me shopping and out to eat. I wish we could have gone today, but that is ok. We also went bowling. He is really fun to bowl with because he bowls the strangest way. He doesn't use the thumb hole and then makes the ball spin. Well he bought me a new comforter and some pots and pans. I posted some pictures up. The pots and pans picture is not the exact set, but it looks like that. I am so excited to get my house so I can use this stuff. (If I get my house). We STILL do not have a for sure!! Well this spring break has been nice. I should probably be studying, but I am enjoying the break for a minute.

Update on life

I really am not a slacker, I have been extremely busy. I thought I would take a minute during nap time to update everyone on what's going on with our life. So Lance has been working about 60-70 hours a week, and I work at least 1 day a week. So I do not see much of him. I also am going to school full time, and am a full time mother:) We stay pretty busy. Right now we are also in the process of getting our townhouse! Oh my goodness it is exciting, but stressful. We move in the end of March, hopefully everything works out.
So my children could not be better, I just do not know what I would do without them. Sure it is hard with school, but they are so much fun. Jaxon is a neat freak! Oh my goodness every time he misses the toilet he cleans up everything. I know he probably should not use the Clorox wipes, but he gets so mad at me if I do not let him clean everything up. I am there the whole time and we wash his hands after, I hope no one thinks I am an awful mother! Kyleigh is talking like crazy and wants to be potty trained so bad. She walks about saying, "I go potty." Oh they just make my life an adventure. Jaxon has been doing so good eating, I am so proud of him. It usually takes mom shoving food down his throat, but he is trying new things. He has been eating meat veggies, yay for him. Kyleigh is so good at eating. The only thing I have found that she does not like is applesauce, weird huh? Jaxon loves applesauce, and every time I give it to him she begs for it. I finally give her some, and then the dry heaving starts. She doe this at least once a week. She might change her mind one of these days.
One more thing, I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my sister Suzie. She is 18 years old, my baby sister! I can not believe it. I do not know if my sister reads my blog, but I thought I would say it anyway. Well I don't want this to get too long, so I will leave it here. I will post more pictures one of these days.
