Sold

I am superly de duperly excited for my house! Not so excited about all these boxes. Not so excited that I am dilated. Baby boy give me 3 more days, thats all Im asking. Please!!

Little Update

Alright here is a little people update. So far every stage is fun. Seems they have good and bad parts to them. Sometimes I wish they would stay a little longer and other times I can't wait to see them pass.


Maddux is starting to sleep through the night! Hallelujah!!! Putting himself to bed is still a long way off though. I have to be right next to him (in his toddler bed) and he wraps his arms around my neck and smiles, like he is saying your not going anywhere til I'm asleep mom.Then he drifts peacefully off. It's pretty sweet so I haven tried breaking him of it.









Jadyn always has some interesting thing going on. Right now it includes catching fireflies for Maddux and smashing food into her dolls mouth. My children this very instant are chasing the garbage man yelling bye bye. They do it every tue. They actually play pretty good together right now. Jadyn likes to take care of Maddux but she also likes controlling him. I couldn't find Maddux for like 20 min one day and I went in the kitchen and he was in this lunch box. Jadyn calls our baby
Bode pup. His name is Bodey, (not sure on the spelling yet) but his middle name is not going to be pup. :) And as you can see from the baby bump he is dropped. Well thats my little people update. Next is our house (if i can find the time) so stay tuned. :)

Last Minute Purchases

I am in need of some second opinions. I really can't make decisions. Pat seems to be so "I don't care." Since most people who read don't know how to leave comments feel free to call me.

Has anyone tried these? They look so much better and more comfortable than the snugli. But I am afraid to purchase if they aren't really functional, it also seems like it might be too complicated for me to put on?


I am having bassinet dilemmas. So bassinet #1?

Bassinet #2?Or bassinett #3?



And Jadyn is starting her first day of preschool soon! I think they are all cute and I can even get her name on it. :) Plus there is free shipping right now. But which one? And does anyone know if a preschool size backpack actually fits like paper and a binder? I want to get the preschool size so it doesn't kill her. But at the same time I don't want to have to buy her a new one next year for kindergarten.
Or the elephant with matching lunch box? And this one is a bit cheaper. Im still having diaper bag decision problems too. :( Wouldn't it be nice to be a millionaire and just buy them all and give em a try.

Splash Park

Is the joke on me?

We have been doing the grocery game. It's where you cut coupons and buy bulk of sale items on a list. So far we are no good at it. I'm a little skeptical on whether it is saving us money or not. This week Pat did the shopping. I am looking at the chocolate milk he purchased, and tell him he needs to be careful about some of the things on the list. For example maybe Tide laundry soap is on sale but buying the Sams Club brand is still a lot cheaper. So I'm telling him I think it would be cheaper if we just bought milk and he made his own chocolate milk. And he says, "Ya but this is like the real stuff, like real cow milk, from a brown cow." My reply is, "What? A brown cow? They just mix chocolate into milk same as you do." We argued about it for several min. He was dead serious. I told him I thought I was having a conversation with a 4 year old. He told me to look it up on the Internet.

Does he really believe chocolate milk comes from a cow? Or is he just being dumb? Probably another unsolved mystery that I will never know.

Just Because

I can't get enough. Seriously, I know everyone says this, but they are growing up too fast. Slow, slow down.

Missing Those Green Mountains

Home is where Pat, Jadyn and Maddux are, but home is also Cache Valley. I never really appreciated it's beauty until I moved away. I miss my family too. And my highschool possy :). Thanks for the good time. Come see us in Kansas.

100 YEARS!!!

We celebrated my great grandmas 100th birthday this past week! She is so amazing! She has been alive for a century. She can still walk, talk, see and hear! I hope I get some of those genes passed down. It was really alot of fun. I don't think she reads my blog, but I love you grandma and happy birthday! The video is Jadyn and Faith, I think I was way more nervous about their little performance than they were.

Let Freedom Ring

um.... just don't ask

We started our 4th with Annie and Eric at the Stampede. Cute Faith.

I love how they smiled and posed for the camera

Next stop Denver Airport

And then Grandma Valories

Where the fireworks were kind of scary

The End. Good Story wasn't it?

The Diaper Bag

Something about these things has never appealed to me. Since Jadyn was born I have refused to use one. They are ugly. I always have wipes, diapers, crackers, bottles, wallet, toys, camera... all crammed into my purse. And I continually kept buying larger and larger purses. Now I have found a small purse that I really want. But before getting it I decided I want my purse filled up with things like my own sunglasses and mascara and things that really belong in a purse. Therefore for my 3rd child I have decided it is time to purchase the diaper bag. Does anyone know where I can look for cute ones? Im willing to fork out a bit of money if I can just find one that I like.

This is the inside of my purse right now. Sickening isn't it? And how do you like my flip flop tan lines?

Punk

Someone thinks they don't need to take naps anymore. I think so Maddux Braden!
