Satin Flower tuTorial!

2010-06-01T08:45:00.000-07:00

STEP 1: i layered the satin 3 times. Used a bowl that was about 5 1/2 inches and cut around it to make 3 circles!

there is 4 circles in this picture, but you only need 3

STEP 2: cut slits around circle

STEP 3 : cut off tips of each petal. FYI none of this has to be perfect because when you burn it you wont even tell!

STEP 4: now you are going to burn each petal. you will want to curve it like it petal and burn arount the edge. I used a lighter, but you could also use a candle.

this is what it will look like when they are all burned. if it catches fire, you can snip it off and burn it again. i liked the way they looked burnt so i kept it!

STEP 5 : take a piece of tulle the width of your flower. Tie it in a knot, take a second peice of tulle and then tie it in a knot around the first knotted piece, to make it look like this!

STEP 6 : Hot glue it to your petal!

IMPORTANT!!!!!!!

REPEAT STEPS 4 & 5 to make it look like the picture below. Also for this step i tied a third peice of tulle to make it even fuller!

STEP 6: Cut 4 petal apart from the base

STEP 7: glue them randomly like so!

STEP 8: you will make another tulle Knot like you did in STEP 5

STEP 8: bunch it so you can put a drop of hot glue on the knot!

STEP 9: glue it to the whole flower. after everything was glued on i went around and trimmed all the tulle to make it shaped like a flower!

STEP 10: i cut out to pieces of felt. glued one to the bottom of the flower, attached my alligator clip & a pin! Then i glued the other peice of flet inbetween the clip and pin to secure it!

My model was sleeping so you get me!!

I think they turned out so cute, you can wear them in your hair, on jewlery or clothes! i hope you understand everything, this is my first tutorial. im not too good at explaining how i do things. Let me know how i did!

All in One!!

2009-11-02T19:19:00.001-08:00

So a few wks ago we took Taylor and Kaden to the Dentist. They are 3 and 2 yrs old and they have never been before. We new Taylors teeth were back cause they were practically decaying away. Kaden was a trooper and he had no cavities and his teeth are perfectly straight. LUCKY! NOt so much for Taylor. She had tooth decay on all four of her top teeth, and 2 on the bottom. That was inculding 3 or 4 more cavities that she had. So in order for them to Fix her teeth to make them look NOrmal ( ill have to post before and after pics) we had to go to mesa so they could just put her completly to sleep to fix all her teeth. It took them about 3 hrs, we didnt want to just leave her there during the surgery, SO Jeremy went and got take out, they had the little bouncey bed that we laid on, and watched a movie for two hours. It was like a little Date. So we kinda poked at Taylor while she was DEAD out. Jeremy kept saying she looks DEAD! i told him to STOP saying that. All is well though and now here teeth are beautiful!

MY baby girl is TWO! we had her party a few wks ago, and she actually turned 2 back on OCtober 15. Im a slacker at this blogging thing these days! We got to have it are new home which was nice, because a ton of ppl ended up comeing. I couldnt imagine all those ppl in are little appt. Taylor was like Bring on the presents. she would open one and we kept getting handed more and more. She was def spoiled!

So most of you will think this is MEAN and NAsty! Jeremy Killed this Bobcat when he was out Bear Hunting. HONestly who goes bear hunting...I KNOW! He wanted to skin it but by the time he got home it was to stiff. SO he cut off the head and i dont know what he is going to do with it. IT is in are freezer and it even made the move to are new hom with us!

We went to Disney on Ice on October 17, It was fun! My kids are slacking and they hadent ever seen the little mermaid, or the Lion King, So those parts where gay to them. Kaden ultimatley LOVed all the Cars in the Show. Taylor like Tinkerbell. Jeremy was a trooper for comeing with!

So there is No Halloween Pictures for Use this Year. We were All DEAD sick. We all had Influenza A. We were all in the hospital at some point this wk besides Kaden and Brenlee and i even ended up staying in the hospital one night! On Halloween trick or treaters kept comeing to are door. SO finally we put a note on the Door " SWINE FLU" that kept them away! lol. IM sad but hopefully we will have next year. We are all getting better, im still a little worn and tired, but we are all getting better.

Anyways there you go ppl. this post took for FOREVER!

were MOVING!!!!

2009-10-15T18:23:00.001-07:00

Pray for Halli Wood

2009-10-14T19:50:00.001-07:00

Halli is Jeremy's Cousin's daughter. i have only met her once, she is the CUTest, sweetest girl ever. Her story is below and you should def. read it, she was air lifted to Phoenix Childrens Hospital today because she wasnt able to fight off the influenza type A. Please Pray for this sweet little girl.
you can see pictures of Cute Halli hear and also make donations to help with the travel expenses!
http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/halliwood

Halli, age 9, enjoyed this summer in Snowflake with her 3 brothers (Cody, Wacey, and Brenley) and 1 sister (Kyri). They are involved in sports (including rodeo) and Halli rode calves, went gigging frogs with her brothers, and did all the fun things kids are supposed to be able to do during the summer. Shortly after school started this year, she started having "tummy aches" and when it didn't go away, Keli and Ty took her to the hospital, thinking it might be appendicitis. The hospital in ShowLow transferred her to Phoenix Children's Hospital in Phoenix after the tumor was discovered. Following are some notes that I kept during that time. 8/25 - Halli underwent surgery to remove a malignant ovarian tumor at Phoenix Children's Hospital. The doctors only had to remove one ovary and said it had not spread to other organs, but since it was so large and attached to the lining of her stomach, uterus, and pelvis, she would need to have chemotherapy. She would have to remain in the hospital until she had healed partially from the surgery before she could begin chemo treatments. Expected number of treatments were not known yet, but could be for 6 months.9/1 - Halli had surgery to insert a port through which she would receive her chemo treatments.9/2 - Started her first chemo treatment which would be done over a period of 3-4 days. 9/4 - This evening Halli had an allergic reaction to one of the meds she was given and had some major complications that caused her to have difficulty breathing, be very confused and not even know who her mom was. During the night and over the next day, Halli was completely out of it, so they decided to do an MRI on Sunday to make sure the cancer had not spread to the central nervous system/brain.9/6 - MRI was clear. However, that morning Halli still wasn't really herself either, but was getting better toward evening. HOWEVER, by now she was having major nausea and vomiting as well as other symptoms of chemo meds that we had been told about. Seemed to me that she had them ALL at the same time.9/7 - Since Halli had experienced a very serious allergic reaction, the doctor told Keli they wanted to do an EEG, but couldn't do it on a holiday, so they would schedule it for Tuesday. The reason for this was that they wanted to be sure she hadn't experienced a mini stroke or seizures.9/8 - This morning Halli wasn't nauseated for the first time since she started the chemo treatment and she ate a very good breakfast of french toast sticks. They did the EEG this morning and Halli handled it well. After she got back to her room, she requested a ham sandwich and carrot and celery sticks for lunch. The doctor says the EEG shows some irregular brain waves from the chemo, but they believe it will be temporary. She will need to follow up with a neurologist for more tests as time goes one. That evening they discharged her, but since it was so late by the time of discharge, they stayed at Ronald McDonald House that night.9/9 - Mom, Dad and Halli arrived home in Snowflake around 3:00 p.m. this afternoon to the joy of her brothers and sister and extended family members. Halli has to return to Phoenix Children's Hospital every 21 days for 3-4 days of chemotherapy treatments. This is a difficult time for all of them. Halli is handling it like a little trooper and I'm confident that the Lord will take care of her. Thanks for your prayers and kindness.Betty Sue Conway (Keli's Aunt)

Livin the Crazy life!!

2009-10-13T07:38:00.000-07:00

I'm waiting and waiting for things to Calm down.......and now I'm beginning to think this is how our life is going to be C r A ZZZZZY!

This is how the day goes for me when Jeremy is at work

Morning: 6:30 Am, Ive already been awake since 5:30 feeding brenlee and i hear Kaden start to wake up.....PLEASE PLEASE go back to bed I'm thinking....but that wish never comes true. We all get up, I'm trying to get them all fed, juice, diapers, dressed, while i eat and try to get myself ready....sounds so smooth doesn't it......Not so much!

Maybe if I'm feeling energetic i will take them all three some where by myself, but that all includes, snacks, making sure brenlee is feed, paci, diaper, extra clothes and blanket, juices, as well as getting myself ready and sometimes i have to redress cause i have feces on me or barf. YUCK!! and getting them all out the door, and then getting them in the truck, this process sometimes takes well over and hour. This rarely ever happens, we dont venture away by are self's to much!

Lunch: I'm getting really excited about this time, because i know nap time is coming up soon.......and i get to breath for a moment!!! So this time normally goes smooth unless we are all tired and brenlee needs to be fed when Kaden and Taylor are starving and restless! So while they nap i wish i time to do the things that i want to do, but its vacuuming, laundry, dish,putting laundry away( which never happens) -Jeremy asks me every morning where his clothes are cause there rarely hanging in the closet these day.....i say there over there in the corner.....at least there clean babe!! sweeping and moping, and i might JUST might have a few mins to take a little nap!

nap time is over and Daddy is normally home......Kids are really energetic from there nap, so we send them to grandma's house and Jeremy and i can have some time to talk and have a normal Conversation......Until grandma brings them home.... i might go for a run or walk.....but who has the energy to do that......SO ya!

It's just crazy from here on out, dinner, bath time, bed time ritual, cleaning up from the Crazy day....finally bed time 7:30...........

Then i realize i need to go to walmart because we have no more diapers or milk....ugh.....then i realize i haven't showered in....... i dont know how many days........i want to have a few min. to myself......but i think ill just go to bed because brenlee is going to wake up soon for another feeding! and I'm exhausted.....

I think I'm slowly getting in the groove of things, i just have to realize this is how life is going to be for awhile! Some days i feel super overwhelmed and i become a mean MOM! I know I'm a good, fun mom, but i do have 3 small children, and it is hard and def over whelming.
We have been really busy this past month and in the next few weeks it is going to get more CRAZY! We just have alot going on..........

And good news......We are on the prowl for a new home......We love this little apartment, but we have out grown it by 2 children, So we are looking for a nice place to call are home......Im excited and i ll keep you updated!!

Brenlee Raylyn Wood

2009-09-09T15:31:00.000-07:00

This is the only picture we took before we had her. Im in NO pain in this picture, but a little large.
We are so excited to have Brenlee here. She is so Stinkin CUTE and i cant get enough of her. i just want to squeeze her every second. She is a really good baby and we are adjusting to life with three kids pretty good.............so far!!!!

Brenlee at the Hospital. i love when there all snuggled up. 7 lbs 4 0z 18 1/2 inches long

2nd day old. im really pumped with fluid......i love hospital pictures. i cant beleive im posting these pictures!

Close up of her cute little face.

Me and my baby. i love how alert they are right after there born, its crazy!!

The three of us right after she was born. i was seriously druged up and really was out of it. As you can def tell in this picture!

LABOR:

Basically is was a PIECE of cake! Ill make along story short!

We went into the hospital at 7 in the morning. They started me on antibiaotics for having GBS, and they gave me stuff to soften my cervix. i was only dilated to a 2, WOOO hooo! The antibiotics were going to take atleast 12 hours( SO ANNOYING BTW) So i sat there all day, kept giving me medicine for GBS, and to soften my cervix. SO at 5 pm, i was dilated to a 3, so i got my epidural, and they started me on pitocin*. i seriously didnt feel the epidural at all. It was great! So at 7:40 the doc came in, and i was dilated to a 10, he broke my water, i pushed 2 little pushes and i had her at 7:50. It was nice and easy! There was an hour were i thought i was dieing, and i was only dilated to a 3, i can ONLY imagine if there was NO such thing as epidurals!!

SO enjoy the pictures! We are all doing Gooooood, and i feel like a totally different person. i felt G R E AT!!

2009-09-04T11:08:00.000-07:00

I cant beleive we are going to have are baby tomorrow! We are going to be a family of 5, C R A Z Y! We are really excited and i have no idea how much more crazy life is going to be! We will update when we are up to it......:) WIsh us luck!

OH yeah! 6 more days!

2009-08-30T08:22:00.000-07:00

i dont think i have ever been this EXCITED about anything ! These last 9 months for me have been Exhausting, challenging, Mind boggling, painfull and mentally challenging! I know i have "Easy" pregnancies, but add 2 little kids ( 2 1/2 and a 1 1/2 years old) and in the dead of summer in Az. IT was Horrible! i have had alot of help, but havent enjoyed this pregnancy at ALL!

We have got mostly everything ready for her to come, but a few little washing and cleaning to do, SO for the next week im going to "try" to enjoy my large self, spend time with my kids, and husband, and make a few fun crafts with friends!

I CAN NOT wait to be induced next Saturday, ONly 6 more days! i just want to cry thinking about it!

WISH me luck!

12 more days!

2009-08-24T11:50:00.000-07:00

Sept 5 it is!

Im going to be induced a week early. i had a doc appt today, and i tryed to talk doctor Tran into inducing me before he leaves, but he will be gone all the week before, So no can do! Dr. H it is! im already cringing at the thought of him checking to see if im dilated next week. Dr. Tran said if i dont like him next week then i can wait until Monday for when he gets back. It really works out for are family if we do it on Saturday (sept 5), everyone has off for labor day, which means alot of help! OH freakin well, im just excited to have my baby!

Sorry no picture this week, im sure you are all disappointed, you wanted to see my fat belly, i am gaining 2lbs a week.......good thing i only have 12 MORE days!

So much to do, and absolutley no energy or time to do any of it!

i see the END!

2009-08-17T09:44:00.000-07:00

fat belly!

me and the fat belly!

36 wks down and (2 days)!

i had my 36 wk check up today.........was dreading getting checked to see if i was dilated. It is so embarrassing being huge and pregnant and having to be checked every week for the last few weeks of your pregnancy. Come to find out Dr. Tran doesn't check you until you are 38 wks. I was so glad and also i didn't have to be checked for the group B strep, since i had it with both of my other kids, they will just treat me for it.

So here is were it gets good........LIfe has been HARD for the past 36 wks (and 2 days) With being pregnant and everything that comes with that, taking care of 2 other kids 2 and 1 year old, being pregnant in the DEAD of summer, living in this Small apartment (very grateful), and Jeremy not knowing if he is going to have any work. We have definitely had a trying year, but we have learned alot and grew very close together. So it seems like for the past few weeks i have been trying to get everything ready for this baby to come, and it is taking FOREVER. LIFE is just so crazy and busy and there is NO time. I have been stressing about when this baby is going to come. So.....

today i told Dr. Tran that i want this baby out ASAP! i had to be induced with Kaden and Taylor and i see the same thing happening with this baby. SO he said that he would induce me a week early. IM so excited i could cry. One less week being pregnant. So the day is Sept. 5. It is Labor day week end, SO we will have alot of help with Kaden and Taylor and i hope everything goes smooth. The only down side is......Dr. Tran is going to be out of town, so it will be "DR. Harrison" I feel more comfortable with Dr. Tran because i liked how everything went with Taylor's delivery, and Dr. H, kinda creeps me out. SO i could wait until that Monday, and Dr. Tran will be back, but 2 more days is a million years to me right now. 19 more days!

Wood ReUnion and 24th of JUly!

2009-08-06T19:33:00.000-07:00

Here are a few pictures from the 24th Celebration. i don't know what my problem is, put I'm anti taking pictures right now. Ill get over it. BUT we just did all the festivities in the Gila Valley. It was fun!

Wood ReUnion

This past weekend we went up to Greer for a family Reunion!It was so beautiful there, and it was so nice to get out of the HEAT! Besides, being HUGE and pregnant, and so uncomfomfortable. IT was So fun! They put up a Zip line for the kids, played volleyball, pinatas, GOOD good food, went to the River and the kids caught fish and played in the FREezing water. I met alot of fun and really nice people. Then we skipped the Eager Rodeo, and went to see Jeremys great Uncles, he let us pick peaches off of his tree, and showed us around the house that Jeremys grandma was raised in. It was a really fun weekend, that we need to do more often.

(My camera was dead, so i only got a few pictures, but my snl took alot for me, so i will post more when i get them, also i noticed that Jeremy's cousins wife posted some on her blog, if you REALLY want to you, you can check them out at http://woodof7.blogspot.com/. Thank you everyone that helped get everything ready, IT was awesome!

We did end up locking Taylor in the Truck, i was freaking out, she didnt know what the heck was going on. We just flagged down a police man and he came and slim jimmed are truck and got it right open. Thank heaven it was only 80 degrees out, or i would of busted the window!

Baby Names!

2009-07-25T11:21:00.000-07:00

So when i was pregnant with Taylor i really wanted to name her Brenlee OR Bryna, but could never convince Jeremy. SO Taylor Ann it was, and it totally fits her....BUT now we are having to decide a name for are new baby girl again......

So it is either going to be

Brenlee, Brinlee, Brenly

OR

Braylee, braley,

Who know how we will spell it, So many diffrent ways!

What do you guys think, Or do you have any other CUTE girl names i could STEAL!

32 wks and Happy B-day to me!

2009-07-19T19:26:00.000-07:00

I am now 32 wks Pregnant! Time is definitely flying by. I'm going to the Doc every two weeks now. I have a doc appt tomorrow, and i feel like i just saw him Yesterday. I'm hoping the next 8 wks will go by just as fast! As of 2 wks ago i was measuring 2 wks bigger ( which doesn't really mean that much) but im hoping tomorrow it will be the same, maybe he will bump up my due date. Wouldn't that be nice?Ive gained about 19 lbs, NOT bad huh, Errrrr WRONG, that's not including the Holiday weight i gained before i got pregnant, which was about 10 lbs. SO I'm sliding on really thin ice, hoping i don't gain to much more. WE SHALL SEE! i feel pretty good, i just have bad heart burn, back aches ( my fault tho, i sew on the ground, wierd i know!) but Ive been sleeping really good and napping almost every day. IM REALLY LAZY! I'm loving it. I don't know how i will feel after the baby. I probley wont go anywhere.....Honestly who has 3 kids that does anything, It would be a nightmare to go to walmart with 3 kids. We shall see, I'm hoping i will be SUPER mom, and be crazy energetic. like i said, we shall see.....anyways, i have to go, I'm due for my weekly bath, and Jeremy told me my hair stunk today.lol( haven't washed it since.........?)

I forgot, I turned the big 24 years old last Thursday, any of you that forgot my birthday, SUCK! and to everyone that wished me a Happy Birthday, i LOVE you!

Kaden is 3 Years old!!!

2009-07-14T11:44:00.000-07:00

This is after swimming for 3 hours, so dont be judging on how awesome we look! We all went home and slept for 3 1/2 hours, it felt good!

Taylor sneeking a cupcake!

Kaden turned 3 on June 25, but we just had a birthday party for him this past Saturday. It was so fun, and relaxing. i had other ppl taking care of my kids, so it was nice for me just to swim and relax and play around with them. Kaden was pretty grumpy at first, but eventually got in the water and started having fun! Taylor went Crazy, she was jumping in the pool every 5 secs. she kept getting out and saying "again"again". I think everyone that came had fun!

4th of July!!

2009-07-13T11:48:00.001-07:00

My sweet "sometimes" Kaden Ray!

I PAINTED Jeremys toes while he was sleeping. i just wanted him to be a little more patriotic for the Fourth. LOL, i was laughing so flippin hard. He asked how do you get it off, and i told him there wasnt anything that takes it off, you just have to let it grow out. LOL!

I love this picture of Tay!

This is Jeremy and i waiting for the fire works to start, it can get really interesting with the things we come up with doing. We sat out there for like 3 hrs before the fire works started, good thing there was FREE watermelon and Hot dogs! We had alot of fun, and my kids loved the fireworks!

Problem solved!

2009-07-06T20:01:00.000-07:00

So all night lastnight all i heared was the sweet sound of nothing. I slept all night and it felt so good. The kids didnt wake up at all. Naps are finally back to normal and my kids are awesome and they sleep for atleast 2 to 3 hours. Its great!!! i just put them down tonight and they didnt even resist, they new it was bedtime. So life is finally getting back to normal and it feels good. So this will probley we the end to my everynight postings, but i have alot of other stuff and pictures to up load.
Now im going to go and relax............

Getting in the groove!

2009-07-05T20:52:00.001-07:00

First im loving everyones comments, i felt really bad for doing this, but i was seriously on the brink of going C R A Z Y if i wasnt already there. So thanks for all your supportive comments!

Lastnight Kaden went to bed right away and Taylor only cried for 10 mins or less. WHAT? i wasnt sure if it was because it was so late at night and she was exhausted, or if she was finally getting the HINT. So i tried not to get my hopes up...... also they didnt wake up at all in the night. How wonderful is this?

So Tonight we put them to bed, they both fused when i was putting them down, asking for a movie, but i said NO, and there was no crying within a min. i cant beleave it! i hope this is finally an end to this Craziness.

Im excited to have a little bit of me & Jeremy time once the kids are down at night, and No more babies in bed with us (well atleast not for the next 2 months)..........

Night 2 /part 2

2009-07-04T22:08:00.000-07:00

So last night kaden fused for about 30 mins. and Taylor flat out cried for 35 mins. 5 mins shorter than the night before. Progress, Progress......Taylor woke up at 4 am and i changed her diaper and she went right back to bed. It is def nice not having them sleep with use.

Today was a long day, so they napped for about 3 hours, and i only let them sleep that long because i new it would be a long night because of the fire works. So it is 10 pm right now, we just put the kids to bed, kaden isn't crying at all, but Taylor is, so we shall see how long it last tonight. I'm feeling confident and STRONG (for now)...........it def. so much better then it was, they both actually nap again and i get to nap as well. I dont normally nap, but with this pregnancy im a faithful nap taker. With 2 kids under the age of 3 and 7 months pregnant i get pretty worn out. So YES i take naps!

Night 2

2009-07-03T20:31:00.000-07:00

SO they both naped today for about 2 hours, they were out within 10 mins, no crying, NOTHING.
now it is bedtime and not feeling very comfident right now. Both kids are crying, have been for about 25 mins. i can handle it when one is crying, but not the both of them. UGH!! NOt so fun
:( It makes me so sad to hear them cry. UGH!
ill post tomorrow how the night goes!

Night 1

2009-07-03T08:08:00.001-07:00

So last night Kaden feel asleep no problem, he didnt nap yesterday so he was exhausted. Taylor cryed for 40 mins, thats like 5 hours when your baby is crying "mommy"mommy'. i was strong, jeremy helped, i was trying to make excuses to go in there. It doesnt even really bug jeremy when they cry....maybe it would more if they were saying "Daddy, Daddy". anyways, Taylor slept all night and Kaden woke up once for milk at 2 am. i just got him milk and he went right back to bed. We just woke up at 8 am. WHAT? i feel so good that ive slept almost all the way threw the night. Hopefully this next night will be even better. WE SHALL SEE!

Crying babies at bedtime!

2009-07-02T19:59:00.000-07:00

So as I'm typing, Taylor is crying her crib..........
When Kaden was born, i don't know if it was just the way he was or if i was more strick with him, BUt things have definitely done a 180 and got way out of control with my children's sleeping patterns. It's something different every night, there in bed with us, or I'm in bed with them( when they had a toddler bed), watching movies in the middle of the night, but to fall back asleep, rubbing backs, milk MILK MILK. i will just do anything to get them to go to bed. SO last night was the end of it.
I put them to bed, put on a movie, and right away Taylor started crying. Kaden says" Taylor's scaring me, get Tay" SO i just got her out and put her to sleep on the couch. Kaden fell asleep with the movie. 9:30 Taylor is still running around the living room. SO i was so frustrated with her, so i put her in her crib with a movie, surprisingly she only cried for seconds. (probley cause it was 9:30) So we went to sleep also, then 12:30 kaden wakes up, "i want MILK" so i got him milk, he was scared because there was a whole in his wall, he wanted his back rubbed, he wanted his toy, he needed his diaper changed. BLAH BLAH the list goes on forever......so i crawled back into bed. 1:30 am Taylor and Kaden wake up, Milk, scared, so anything not to put them in bed with use, i just turned on a movie. 3:00 am, "Mom MOM MOM the movies over. Taylor had fallen back asleep, and Kaden refused to go to sleep. i was so tired, so restless, so i gave him some milk, rubbed his back, told him no more movie, and i layed in bed and listened to him cry for 40 mins. until he fell asleep. 4 am. Jeremy's alarm goes off for work. i guess this was a sleepless night for me........

So this is how I'm solving my problem......No more TV in there room(that's simple), one milk, once i say goodnight there is no more going in there room, NO more in bed with mommy and daddy. So I'm just going to be consistent and just let them cry. there in cribs, so they cant do any bodily damage to themselves. i will just have to sit and listen to them cry. Hopefully it will only take a few night to get this routine down. I feel so bad! i really do, because i know if i were just to go in there and rock her, she would go right to sleep. BUT that's not the point, she needs to find comfort in herself.......SO what do you think? am i the worst parent EVER? 25 mins, taylor is still crying. :( it makes me sad, but hopefully she will fall asleep soon.

Finished product CHEVY!

2009-06-18T19:09:00.001-07:00

Zucchini
My Carrots!
Lettuce

So a few weeks ago my friend Ashley helped me plant a garden. She was so nice to come and help! We even planted one with my Mother n law. So i think Ashley is the best friend EVER for helping us do this.
Not that i have ever wanted a garden before, but i had NO idea where to even begin. Everything is growing really good besides the onions and peppers. So here are a few things that are growing.We planted Onions,peppers,carrots,radishes,cucumber, tomatoes and sometime im going to plant chives, watermelon, and cantaloupe. I was so freakin excited when things started to grow. I can only imagine how farmers feel when there crop is growing good. I love having a garden,and i cant wait to taste the yummy food that comes out of it. ASHLEY your the best if i havent already told you!!

Today is such a nice day, it has been sprinkling on and off and i love the smell of rain. Im so excited for summer, lots of trips to the lake, park and swimming pool. Besides the fact that im going to be huge all threw summer, im really excited for it!

My friend Erin Householder took these pictures for us Yesterday. She posted them on her blog and i stole them. We had so much fun with her yesterday. She is really good and she knows what she wants to portray in the pictures. I'm excited to get them all! So here is a preview. ISNT She great!

this is what Erin posted on her blog:

Jeremy and I knew each other at EA back in the day, and his wife Amanda is a new friend. They're expecting baby #3! If this baby is anything like the other two, it's going to be adorable.

We ended the shoot with a little bit of drama, and of course I had to get a picture. The ladder fell right on top of Jeremy and gave him a pretty good gash in between his eyes. He was such a good sport about it though!

24 WKS!Ya, this is me....This belly i lug around 24/7, im barly half way there and im this big. It's def true that you get bigger with each kid. People tell me i look small for being due in Sept. Oh how nice they are, but i feel huge. Im def feeling the pains from not exercising or bascially doing NO physical activity with this pregnacy.
IT took Taylor awhile to make it this far in the lake. She def a girly girl!
We went to Roper Lake last weekend with my friend Bethany, and holli. We had fun in the sun. We were all glad Jeremy came. He made it so fun for all the kids. It was fun to get out and enjoy the nice weather.

My friend ASHLEY gave me an idea that i should make these cute little skirts for Taylor. So i have made a few, and i think they are so FLIPPIN cute!! I have so much material that i have had for ever, and is taking up so much room in are little apartment.My friend owns French Cut in Thatcher and she is letting me and Ashley sale these skirts and dresses there. SO if anyone is interest in buying one, i can costum make anything, or you can go and check them out at French Cut. We are selling them for $ 15 or 2 for $ 25. I think there worth that much for how C U T E they are. K I'm done trying to sale you these!

Utah! (genius world record longest post)

2009-04-07T22:11:00.000-07:00

So last weekend i was laying in bed late at night and i had this idea that it would be Crazy fun if we drove up to Utah to visit one of my bestest friend Chanci and also go to General Conference...So we arranged all of the plans to go and then we were Off..

We left Wednesday evening driving only 3 hours up to Paysen to stay the night at one of favorite ppl from College Melissa and her family. She has the cutest boys and there crazy full of life like my kids, So it was fun catching up with her. We got there pretty late, stayed up late, and we were off the next morning.
This is a picture of Taylor and Kaden at the Rossevelt lake...There so stinkin cute! i love when they hold hands!
My little Tay Tay!
Me and Jeremy at Rossevelt!
Kaden and Jeremy threw rocks over the fence at the lake...is that legal?
He was excited to see the BIG bridge......
and so Sad to leave!
SO i dont know what i was thinking...i brought one toy for Kaden and one baby for Taylor.WHO does that?We did have a DVD player and i brought a few movies! BUT honestly when you going on a 12 hour PLUS drive.......Mellissa actually gave Kaden a Thomas Train that he played with at her house, that he couldnt live with out. Thanks Mel that kept him intertained. So due to my Retardeness....Kaden found things to keep himself busy. He got in my bag, got all my change out and stuck the change in his toes on all 10 toes. He is awesome, even that he picked out all of the Quaters too. We had a good laugh over that one.
SO on Thursay we DROVE and DROVE and DROVE.......12 hours....it really only should have taken us 9 hours or less. ya! we had to stop at every cool place that Kaden saw (mainly Bridges)THis nice man that Jeremy talked to for FOREVER (while i chased my two crazy kids around the bridge) offered to take a picture of us! This is the Navajo bridge ( dont quote me, im not positive) Kaden loved looking at the Colorado River, and there ppl done there Rafting. IT was really cool. We also saw Volturs, my first time.....they look just like they do on the cartoons! WE made some lunch....and we were off...
Another bridge, somewhere on the way to Utah...this is a common look for Kaden these days, he puts is hands on his hips,smiles and rolls his eyes and he gets what ever he wants...SPOILED!
They were bumbed that they couldnt go on the old bridge!
Jeremy and I!
i had to sit in back with them a few times. intertaing them with my amazing voice, We sang songs OVER and OVER again, played peek a boo with the Driver, Daddy! Atleast they were easy to intertain!
9 PM- WE are finally here. We are so excited for the BEst weekend EVER....DUN DUN DUN!....Jk....
So this is a long story SHort....well not so short.

So before we left Taylor had been running fevers and had pink eye, nothing i couldnt handle. So when we left on Wednesday she was the only one sick. On Thursday my throat felt so dry,head ache, stuffy. Nothing a little Tylonel couldnt fix. So when we got there that night...Kaden was so grumpy,and exahusted from the long drive. Taylor took 4 naps on the way, and Kaden thought he was being a trooper and he took NONE! So we all didnt go to bed until like 11 Pm. (kids and all) Taylor refused to sleep in her pack and play, so all 4 of use slept on the full size bed. It was horrible, but it was so nice to be sleeping. We slept in until 10 which was awesome. We were ready for are first day in UTah, full of fun,exploring and being Busy Busy!
Ya, well Kaden was Sick, Taylor was sick, So they were just fussy fussy, and the last thing they wanted to do was get in the Truck and drive anywhere else. SO we thought we would go walk around Temple Square for awhile...
Salt Lake Temple!
Ya it was freezing. Poor Kaden just had a sweater, when i was getting him out of the Truck, i dropped his big jacket in the water. He loved all of the water falls and little pools there.
At the Vistor Center they have these Status...when we walked down there Kaden was like "Hey" Hey" HEY" was helling at this statue to talk back to him! it was halerious!
How can you say NO when your kids wants to go up and down the Escalator 10 times....Seriously 10 times!

So due to the weather and are kids not feeling very well, that was all we did that day. It was really fun to catch up with Chanci and just relaxe. We rented a movie that night and Chanci had a coupon for Pizza that she had for 6 years.....im glad we could help you finally use that coupon. lol.
The next day, we woke up from a basically sleepless night....Chanci and i decided to go shopping and Jeremy took Kaden and went shopping. We ended up picking up so much stuff to decorate or lonely room. It ended up being so cute....SHe will have to post some pics. I bought a few things, def not CLOTHES. i hate shopping when im pregnant. Taylor was getting grumpy, we ended up loosing her bottle in one of the stores, so we had to run to walmart to buy a new one. Ya i know, i know! i only brought one bottle for her on the trip. :_ So we all got home, the kids went to sleep, chanci and decorated her room...and jeremy went back out shopping around. When we were all rested we went to the Live Planet Aquarium. It was interesting...They had some cool stuff, Kaden was more interested in pushing the stoller then looking at anything. He is a very interesting 2 year old.
You could touch the Sting rays* it was pretty cool, this was kadens favorite part!

Ocotpus and a star fish, i wish the Octopus was moving around, and you cant tell how big the star fish was, but it was HUGE!So it was fun to go see all the animals, the spider,snakes, sharks, fishes. So that night we just played around, i made my famous spegetti and we rented another movie. By that night we were all sick besides Jeremy. I slept upstairs with Kaden, and he slept down on the couch with Taylor. We couldnt handle the four in one bed again. Another sleepless night for Kaden and i. waking up....couldnt breath, to Hott, To cold, need medicine....I felt horrible and you could tell Kaden didnt feel good either. We were going to stay another day, but ended up leaving around 11 A.M.

THe drive HOME! Imagine your kids being sick at home, Ya a million times worse when your driving in a car. I was dieing, Medicine every 2 hours, i probley said 10 words the whole way home, It hurt so bad to talk. i had the worst sore throat ever. By 8 Pm we were finally in flag....only 5 more hours until we were home.We ended up staying the night in Flagstaff, are kids had, had enough. WE stayed the night with my Brother n law Ryan. MAN....was that fun. He lives in a garage with a wood burning fire place, no carpet, NO BATHroom. IF you know Ryan that is totally his style he is a trooper. i had to go pee 5 times in the middle of the night, outside, i couldnt breath, Kaden couldnt breath cause of the fire place, we all 4 slept on one mattress, So by 4:45 am, i was ready to get the heck out of there. It took for forever to get home it seemed. I cryed as we pulled into safford and a few times on the way. We didnt even go home, we drove straight to the doctors office. Ear aches, pink eye, sore throat, We had it all.

Were home now.....It was such a good idea....I wish we would of all been feeling better, and that the weather was better. It has been so nice to have normal nap times, and bed times. I havent had a voice for the past few days so if you have called and i havent anwsered, that is why. im feeling so much better. i can actually breath out of my nose, it just hurts when i try to talk/whisper. My kids are feeling better and it has been nice to be home.

It's so fun to leave home, but so nice to come home! i just want to say thank you
to Chanci, Ryan and Mellissa for letting us stay with you. It was heaven to have little breaks from driving. It was really fun seeing all of you!

2 more pictures. One of my growing belly. Im almost 18 wks! i was only 10 wks the last pic. so im due for one right...

and then a picture of are new truck...i love it, so roomie and anything new is fun right!

Much Much better!

2009-03-29T20:34:00.000-07:00

So my last post was pretty depressing, it was def horrible how i was feeling. I have the bestest friends. my friend Brianna brought me dinner and did all my laundry 5 or 6 loads. She was so awesome for doing that. SHe was even tempted to start cleaning my nasty house. Its much cleaner now brianna!! thanks so much! my friend Cori brought me dinner also, it was so yummy, thanks! Thanks for thinking of me guys!
im happy to say that im feeling so much better. I have No picutures, but i have alot to update on.

my belly is getting bigger and bigger, which i dont mind for now, because you can acutally tell that im pregnant, and ppl arnt thinking to themselves "is she pregnant? or did she gain a few pounds" Im 16 wks now, and feeling better than ever. We could find out with in the next month what we are having, but we have decided not to. HAHA! im driving everyone in my family crazy, but i think it will be so excited for Jeremy and i to be in the delivery room and out pops a BOY or a GIRL. Im so excited! No names yet!

My little Kaden is so freakin awesome. He just all of sudden thinks he is so BIG and so cool that he can pottie in the big boy toliet. I got him some car underwear, and i think that did it. He LOVES them. He still wont poo in the pottie, so when he starts grunting we put a diaper on. SO i think we will have to master that later. Ive been having to just put him on the pottie when he starts walking funny, and he is so EXCITED when he goes " he says, i did it, i went in the pottie, come look" we try to make it so exciting for him. Then his fav. part is reaching in the HUGE M&M bag i got for when he goes. So 3 times tonight, he would just be playing and he would just go in the bathroom and go. Im like is this my kids, he is awesome. We are so proud of him. This is a big step. He is going to be 3 in June and i jus think that is crazy!. I love my little Kaden!

Taylor is getting so big. She is def Spoiled, with Kaden it was so much easier to lay down the law. Taylor is a defferent story. She is raped around jeremy and i finger. She is just so cute and squishy its hard to be mean to her. She loves food and the word NO, i think that sums it up for her.

If anyone has none Jeremy and i OR JEREMY since weve been married, weve had a new car every 6 months or every year. We bought are impala, which was awesome, and i loved it, but now to small for are growing family. So we thought of alot of different thing that we could do, because we have 3 vehicles...so we ended up trading in my impala and Jeremys 05' chevy. And i got a new truck......I love it...it is brand new 2008 Dodge Ram. nice and roomie for are 3 kids that we are going to have...hopefully ending there, if not we could make it work with 4. UGH! So i have that, and Jeremy has his 95' work truck, so we have a nice RELIable new truck. IM SO EXCITED!! ill have to post about it later.

We are going to Utah this weekend for Conference.Driving! Im so excited, were taking are kids. it will be are first family trip out of state. i think this is just what we need as a family. were going to go to paysen first and stay with my friend MELLISSA! im so excited to see her cute little family. Then we will go stay with one of Best Friends from High School Chanci for 2 days. IM SO EXCITEd to see her. i hope she doesnt go crazy with us being there. ANyways, im so excited to get the heck out of safford, and be with my little family.

Im Drained!

2009-03-06T19:49:00.000-08:00

I dont remember my other two pregnancies being this hard. Of course i do have 2 other kids to take care of, but i dont think that is it. Ive been a couch POTATOE, Im serious, ive probley put my make up on 5 times in the past 2 months. actually did my hair like twice, i just go with the pony tail. Its miserable. I hate feeling and looking like this. ive gained 12 lbs since last summer, so comeing into this summer, im not excited about swimming and shorts and short sleeve shirts. Im lazy, i hate cleaning, doing dishes, cooking, and most of all laundry. i do the bear minimal. when jeremy cant find any socks to wear after he has worn all 20 pairs that he has, he says it time for me to get off my lazy bum. Im grumpy, boring, and feel so frumpy. Will this go away??????? Or am i doomed for life feeling like this.

HOSPITAL VISITS, SICK, SICK, SICK ( i think i hate this)

So my family has been So so sick for like 3 weeks, and me feeling like what i just decrible to you has been takeing care of everyone. IT all started with jeremy a few weeks ago, he was so sick, couldnt work, BUT had to, he couldnt do anything, so left be basically a single parent. So finally a week and half goes by and in the middle of the night, we ended up going to the hospital. He ended up having a sinus infection. Anyone that has ever had one of those it is so miserable, your throat hurts, face hurts, your accey and you feel like your head is going to explode. So we finally got some medicine. He was finally feeling better. .....Taylor and Kaden started getting whole cold symtoms. Didnt realy think anything of it. i thought i could handle this. Taylor was more sick, sleep the bare minalmal at night. So it was me getting up with her, cause jeremy had to work. SO running off of 3 hours of sleep a night was NO fun, SO finlly the 3rd night taylor was sick. SHe was so restless, and her stomach was retracting. SO was thought was would just take her in to the hospital. IT was 2 AM. I havent been to bed yet by the way...so im so tired, was take her to the hospital. They totured her.....things up her nose, needles, rectal temps., x-rays. Horrible. i just wanted to cry for her. So they took a x-ray,and they say the start of Phnemonia, So we were admitted to the hospital for that, and be cause they didnt like the way her stats were with her breathing. SO we were in the hospital for 2 days. It was so MISERBLE. Every time some one came in the room that taylor didnt know. She would just jump on me and start crying. She new that they were there to do something Horrible to her. Anyways, we are home now, she is doing better better everyday....BUT what do you know. JEREMY has the FLU. Yay!!!! Horrible. Im so sick of everyone being sick, and me having to do everything. THat sounds so selfish! i know, but its how i feel. i cant wait until i do something fun, instead of being traped in this little appt. So that is my venting stories. I dont know if all makes since, but i hope i got the point a cross that things just suck right now!

10 Weeks!

2009-02-13T12:34:00.001-08:00

This is my 10 week Belly! Definitely getting bigger. I hate the in between stage where you dont look "Pregnant" yet, so you just look like you've gained some weight. OH well!!! Im still filling really tired. Sorry to all my friends, ive been ignoring phone calls, cause im just to tired to do anything. SO this picture was taken today, first time this week i got dressed and put make up on. SO i hope you enjoy!

BLAH!

2009-02-02T14:39:00.000-08:00

So I'm def feeling PREGNANT. I'm one of the Very lucky ones that doesn't get sick. I may feel nausea at time, but will hardy EVER throw up. i was perfectly fine about a week and half ago, didn't even feel pregnant, i thought it was great.
But im feeling it now. lately i am a couch potatoe. I can say I'm caught up on all my T. V shows. I'm a faithful nap taker, and if my kids don't sleep for at least 2 or more hours during there naps, Mommy isn't very happy. Jeremy's only worked about 3 days out of this past month and he was become quit the house wife. He is the one telling me to get up and clean, OR help me clean...he is doing the diaper changing, bathing, feeding more than i am.
Jeremy is trying to loose a little weight, these last two pregnancy's have been hard on him. lol. So he is determined to not let this pregnancy take a toll on his body also. So he has lost 11 lbs in a week and half. CRAZY! why couldn't i ever do that. I'm so proud of him. i think it is great, and he is going to be a SEXY BEAST! SO why Jeremy eats all healthy, I'm sitting on the couch eating Corn dogs and Cereal. Healthy food just doesn't sound good right now. So anyways the point of this post is....I'm just feeling Blah. Dint want to clean, go anywhere, or do anything. Its very stress free feeling like this.

2009-01-25T15:02:00.000-08:00

-We had are anniversary!! It was great, We were supposed to go Snow Boarding, but since I'm Pregnant and not the best snowboarder, we thought Negative on that idea.
So we went to Mesa, i went to Hobby lobby. all i can say is WOW. i loved it. Everyone kept telling me i should go there, and i finally had that chance to. i spent lots of time(and money) there. So much fun. We did a lot of shopping around, Temple, movies. We even got to stay longer than we planned, We went to the Motor Cross Motor Sport races at Chase ball park. It was are first time, and it was AWESOME. So we drove home that night, LATE after the race.........you know how you always hear freaky stories about the Reservations....Well hear is ares.....We were driving through Bylas at about midnight, and I'm sleeping all of sudden Jeremy is like, WHAT THE CRAP......i jump up,and there is and Indian Man standing in the middle of the road. I almost shizzed my pants. So Jeremy swerves around him, and he like tries to reach for are car. IT WAS just freaky. So we just called 911, and kept driving. IT was a freaky experience, and hope it never happens again.

-We had Taylor's Doctors appt for her bow legs, so the doc took E-Ray, and he said they are like that because of the way she was was positioned in my Uterus. Most kids are positioned knees up to there chest, but she was sitting Indian style. So he said within a year the bow legs should be gone,and her pigeon toe, should go a little after that.

-i had my doc appt also, and i am a a whopping 6 Weeks along. What the heck, i thought i was at least 9 weeks. Next month he will do another sonogram and will tell me when my exact due date is. So i feel fine. Mostly sick at night.

-last but not least, Today we were leaving to go eat dinner at my sister n laws house, and someone egged are car. WHAT the hell. i was so flippin mad. i actually think they were trying to hitt the persons car next to ares, Of course they were no one doesnt like me.....lol.

-So that is what is new, still no camera. litterally going in sane with out one, but what can i do.

4 Years!!!

2009-01-08T07:29:00.001-08:00

Today is mine and Jeremy's anniversary. FOUR years! Crazy how time flies. WE have been so blessed these four years. We have two beautiful Children, and lucky use, we will bring are 3rd child into the world this fourth year of marriage. CRAZY, NUTS. 3 kids in Four years. Who does that? WE DO!
i think Jeremy is the coolest husband, He is so funny, totally NEVER serious, which is good for me and he is a great father.We've def had are share of ups and downs, but we've gotten threw them.
Anyways, enough with the mushy stuff. We are Great, still going strong. Jeremy and i decided a few years ago. lol. That since are anniversary is so close to Christmas that we would just go on a vacation every year for are anniversary instead of gifts. So this year we were going to go Snow boarding, which we did last year. SO FUN! anyways, we decided not to do that, cause i am "pregannated' . SO were just going to go to Mesa for a night, and do the usual, Temple, Dinner, Movie, Shopping. I'M excited! Anyways, I love you babe. Jeremy is working out of town today, Or else i would of made him confess his dieing love for me on my blog. To bad!

Body Bug

2009-01-06T21:31:00.000-08:00

So I've decided that i want this......Its called the Body Bug. You just simply wear it on your arm, and it calculates how many calories you've taken in and how many you've burned. It also connects to your computer and keeps all your information on there. Also if you have a weight loss goal it will calculate how many calories you need to burn and take in to get to that goal in a healthy way. I am Pregnant, so i don't want to loss any weight, but i want to be healthy. So hopefully within the next few weeks my AWESOME husband will buy this for me. Has anyone ever tried one of these before?

Round 3

2009-01-04T16:45:00.000-08:00

So latley i have been feeling really tired, throwing up in the middle of the night, and things tasting weird. Ive been telling Jeremy i was pregnant, but crossing my fingers i wasnt. BUT We are Pregnant with are 3rd Child. Crazy, i know. I havent told anyone, besides a few family members. Im sure everyone thinks we are CRAZY!We werent planning on this baby, but are blessed to be pregnant. It just would of been nice to plan atleast one of are babies. anyways, just wanted everyone to know the news!

UPdates!

2008-12-29T20:06:00.000-08:00

We had a really good Christmas. Kaden was so excited for Santa to come and bring him surprises. It was priceless seeing his face on christmas morning. We were all spoiled. Jeremy and i got everything we wanted, and Taylor is still young, but we got her fun baby dolls and princess stuff. Later that day, my little neices got 'Rock Band" so we went and played that for like 6 hours. It was the funniest game ever. Jeremy is awesome at the drums, and you know, i like to think i can sing. It was fun making my family laugh by my awesome voice.
anyways, my camera broke.....what could be worse than that. NOTHING> i dont know how ive survived almost a week with out a camera. i normally take 20 pictures a day. So we will have to see when i can get a new one. anyways, i have deleted my MySpace, and my Facebook.....it gets addicting....always checking to see if you got a comment, or if someone left you a message. So i thought that i would do with out. BUT i decided to keep my blog, all my friends have blogs anyways, RIGHT. Here are a few pictures i stole from my brother n laws camera......

TO cute!

2008-12-17T16:22:00.000-08:00

Has anyone ever used one of these....It is heaven, and it makes Crafts so easy!

They stood in line at the movies since 12 (for 6 hours) just so we could be first in line.which a lady yeld at us for cutting cause she didnt get a ticket to get in. I Swear take Edward away from women, and they get ANGRY. Thanks Jeremy my wonderful husband for coming, he was such a trooper standing in line with me for an hour, and not going insane when all the girlies were screaming over EDward. He thought some parts were Kornie, buts it was only cause he didnt read the book. ANYWAYS....even if it was a gay movie, i wouldnt know, every scene i was just thinking about how i felt when i was reading the book. SO I L O V E D it!!

Roses & ................

2008-11-14T13:07:00.000-08:00

( the roses are dieing, they are like a week old in this picture, didnt want you to think he bought me Dead roses!)

So the other day Jeremy brought home Roses......i would like to say because he is so charming, and for know reason, BUT he was in the DOG house. So he felt bad, and he brought home a dozen roses. Thank you babe, and i forgive you!

Also, i died my hair Dark as you can see. i really like it. A big change. some people like it, and some dont. i like it though, i needed a change!

NO fun!!

2008-10-27T13:34:00.000-07:00

Downside: Kaden is sick, sick Sick!! i feel sorry for the little guy. watching your little guy throw up is heart breaking. hopefully he gets better soon.

Upside: we all know how LOUD and CRAZY Kaden is, but since he doesnt feel good he wants to cuddle and be all cute and cozzy. So i like this side of him, but hate that he doesnt feel good.

Sugar Cookies!

2008-10-18T17:16:00.000-07:00

(Kaden licking a knife, Cant be to safe)
Kaden wanted the whole bottle of sprinkles on his cookie. who could blame him. there yummy!

Kaden's cookie that he decorated. im suprised that he actually did it. most of the time he is so hyper that he just wants to run around. BOyz will be boyz.

So i wasnt going to have Taylor Decorate a cookie. HOW mean of me...BUT she was so sad that everyone else got to. So this is is a picture of her before we stripped her down.

This Taylor's cookie, you can see all her finger swips. she loved the frosting. With help from abbi i dont think it turned out so bad.

Park DAY!

Who new!

2008-10-06T13:28:00.000-07:00

YEs yes, safford does have a corn Maze*! We went there today! Man was it fun. JK! It was so small you def could not get lost. you could see the end every which way you looked. BUT it was fun for the kids, and it was fun to get out and do something different!

We are trying to do little field trips on Monday's so if anyone want to come just let me know. It's nothing to exciting, about as exciting safford gets. We went to angle orchard last monday, and next monday we are going to the safford air port. ( i know, kinda lame, but kaden will LOVE IT! Then on the 18th wer are going to the pumpkin patch in willcox. IM SO EXCITED!!

Angle Orchard

2008-09-30T12:10:00.000-07:00

So yesterday jeremy had the day off so we went up to the orchard on the mountain and picked apples. It was SO fun. I think everyone should get there apples for there. They are so yummy and so cheap. way cheaper than walmart, and it is a fun family activity. anyways, enjoy the pictures!

BIG boy!

2008-09-28T21:06:00.000-07:00

Kaden makes me laugh so hard sometimes, he was really looking at this magazine and pointing out the trucks and trailors that look like daddy's!

He had to go and he didnt want Taylor to take his toys, So what the heck he takes them with him.

So i have always heard that boys are horrible to pottie train, so i figured i wouldnt start until he was atleast three years old. BUT he has been wanting to go pottie, so im not going to stop him. SO we bought him a little pottie and some big boy underwear. Im kinda just letting him do his own thing. some day he will want to go 20 times and some day he doesnt even mention it. My little boy is getting BIG!

Its about time!

2008-09-16T20:35:00.001-07:00

Exercise??? WHAT? that hasn't been in my vocabulary for well over 4 months. BUT im proud to say that i am joining the gym tomorrow. I felt really good about myself when i was going everyday. So i just need to get back into it. The only thing is, IS i have to wake up at 4:45 AM to go, to be back before Jeremy goes to work at 5:45. . NO FUN!! I can do it tho. WISH Me luck!

St. David here we come!

2008-09-07T09:40:00.000-07:00

Jeremy and i at the football game. we left early cause there were a milion bug everywhere, and we were getting SPANKED by Pima.
Thank heaven for DVD players. The ride is only an hr and 15 mins to St. david, but can feel like 5 hrs with unhappy kids. Kaden and Taylor were both really good.
Isnt this the biggest flippin grass hopher you have ever seen. there were millions of them on highway 191. It was so nasty and i thought i was so brave for rolling my window down to take a picture. i thought one would jump on me.
taylor at the football game.
YEs! yes! i rode it with Kaden. HE loved it and he even went on a few more times by himself.
He loved the jumping castle. there were a few older boys being silly flopping around and falling. Kaden was trying to copy them.

It was a fun weekend. my camera ended up dieing, but we did alot of fun stuff. we went to vb and fb game, fair, carnival, fireworks, and we went shooting. it was nice to get away for awhile.

To funny!

2008-09-07T09:36:00.000-07:00

So grandma wood was over the other day and the kids were trying on her glasses. It was so funny! I think Kaden look just like chicken little, and abbi looks like a sassy teacher. To cute!

Duck ponds AGain!

2008-09-07T09:25:00.000-07:00

So we have been going to the duck ponds alot this summer. Its always so nice outside, so here is just a few pictures of Kaden and his cousin Abbi.

Nothing really NEW!!

2008-08-26T22:19:00.001-07:00

Jeremy and i finally made it to the Temple this last weekend. we havent been able to find the time to go in SO long it seems. i love going to the temple with jeremy, we grow closer together and we understand each other better each time we go.

I hosted my first "saladmaster" party, and i got a salad master. SO FREAKING exciting! thanks Holli, Cori, and brianna!

Jeremy has been slow at work, and it is DRIVING us both crazy. i dont know if any of you feel the same way, but I LOVE my husband, but i like when he is gone during the day, so i can clean, and do stuff for my self. I love an occasional day off. but when he is home, i just sit and i dont feel like doing anything.

ive been making bows for my little neices and i am going to start making some for my little taylor. So cute!

I know i know, i still havent read all of "Breaking Dawn" im so excited to, but when do i have time.

anyways, noting TO exciting over this way! i will def post when something exciting comes along!

Taylor Ann

2008-08-12T21:32:00.000-07:00

My little Taylor, she is 10 months now, she is starting to walk around furniture! i dont know if i am ready for her to walk yet?? ( she looks funny because she still had her eye infection!)

EYE INFECTION!

2008-08-12T21:09:00.000-07:00

OK! So for the past 3 weeks have been SO miserable in are house hold. We have had this horrible eye infection. First my brother and sister and law and there little girl had it. I stayed clear away from there house, hopeing i wouldnt get it. LUCKY me!! i got it! i had it for 2 weeks i felt so miserable, so ache, and a BLAZING headache. So my eye was finally starting to set better and i got it in the other eye. So then i got all better and my Poor little Taylor got it. i felt so sorry for her. she would just sit and Cry. So long days just sitting holding her, and trying to entertain Kaden. Kaden hasnt got it yet and im hopeing he doesnt. So Taylor is finally all better, and now Poor Jeremy has it now, and my sister n law has it again. So this is what are little family has been up to for the last few weeks, JUST being Sick!

OH and what made me SO mad, is the 4th Twight book came out and im barley into it, because i couldnt read, i was so SAD. So ive been trying to stay clear of ppl blogs that have posted about the fourth book, so you dont ruin it for me. So hopefully within the next few days i will have it read.

Im FINE just the way i am!

2008-08-07T20:30:00.000-07:00

So i think 4 pounds was good......LOL! i feel good now, my clothes fit, and i feel GREAT!!!

2008-07-24T11:55:00.000-07:00

Kaden & I at the Parade Kaden and i again!
Kaden LOVEd the Hourses and the Big "twucks" & Trator
oh my word, Everything that came by kaden was Like "whats that"whats that" so i preferred him sitting on Jeremys lap so he could anwser all Kadens questions!
Taylor all bundled up while it was raining, i was just glad she slept through it all!
Kaden went and covered himself up when it was raining, it was cute!

i was so excited for are little mormon holiday that we have here in Thatcher, but the RAIN rueined it. It sprinkled a little during that parade, BUt nothing we couldnt handle. Then it just kept raining on and off. we even saw a feild mouse, it was descusting. Kaden loved the rain, he kept yelling, "its raining" my poor mother n law literally stood in line for and hour to get popcorn, and we didnt even stay long enough to eat any. Yes, finally it just started to poor, and we left. Some ppl stayed. So righteous!
Kaden what is growing on your tummie?
So i heard Kaden in the Kitchen the other day, and i thought he was just playing with some toys. In was in there for awhile, so i went to go see what he was doing. He was poor the chocalote syrup onto the floor so he could suck it up. Crazy boy!

Happy Birthday to Me!!
My new entertainment center. we like to lock Kaden in there.
My new Kitchen Table, which i love.
my excuse for not cooking before was that we didnt have a table to eat at. So now i guess i have to cook now.

So Jeremy was gone all last week, he went with the Young Men to go hiking for 5 days. So my neices came over to pass the time. They love when i do there nails, hair or put makeup on them. Alex and Livi are more of pretty pretty girls, so i did there make-up pretty! Madison is the only one that would let me do CRazy makeup. it isnt even Crazy, it is just plain FREAKY!! i was laughing so hard. She thought it was funny also.

Jeremy and at the River shooting!

Jeremy is a talented photgrahor, he got a pic of me right when the gun back fired, (it only took him like 10 tries)
Jeremy shooting at the River!!

It was nice to go by are self with are little family to go shooting. It was so fun, and Jeremy thought i was halerious shooting. we even did a little four bying and Kaden laughed so hard.

Anyways, those are somethings we have been up to for the last few weeks!!

Sooo my Mother n law and my two sister n law have read these Twilght books. ALways talking about how wonderfully romantic they are. BLAH BLAH!

So finally i decided to read them so i could get in on the conversations they have about Edward and Bella. ANYWAYS, so i read the first one and all i have to say is,

IM IN LOVE!! i love these books, i read the first, and now i started the second one but im trying not to neglect my kids as i did reading the first one. So it is taking me a little longer. I Cant wait until the 4th one comes out. All the girls in my family already bought it and we are going at Midnight to the book store to pick them up and plan on reading all night. LOl. you probley thinking im so dumb, unless you have read the book.

Duck Ponds!

2008-07-10T08:53:00.000-07:00

Me and my baby!

Kaden and Riley!
who ever thought Ducks would like Corn Flakes!

So me and my kids went with my friend Jayme and her two boys to the Duck pond over by the fair grounds. It was a perfect day to go and play and feed the ducks. My grandma brought down like 7 loafs of hotdog bun(i dont know what she was thinking i could use all those for) so we decided to feed them to the ducks. So thank you grandma, it was fun.:) so when we were done with the buns we resorted to the Corn flakes. THe ducks loved them! Lol. So then we went over to this little park and Kaden swong and played on the slide. It was a nice day to get out and have some fun! Thanks Jayme!

Happy 4th!

My Baby is TWO!!

2008-07-09T15:18:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday to my Baby Kaden. It feel like we just had him and now he is Two years old. Jeremy and i have loved having Kaden around. He is constantly running around and making us laugh. Kaden is so curious to learn and i love watching him try new things. For his birthday we just had some friends and some family over and had a little party for Kaden. HE got so much stuff(which i have no where to put in are little apt.) He was a lucky boy on his birthday...he got alot of Trains and train sets, tractors, trucks, helicopters, and his little mickey mouse. Kaden can bascially talk and if he doesnt know what it is he says"whats that" whats that" until he can say it. MAN does that get old after awhile. He is adorable when he talks. Also Jeremy and i were debating if we wanted to get Kaden a Toddler bed, because then he would have access to just get out of bed when ever he wanted, and the early morning sleep inns would be gone. BUY we decided to give it a shot. HE is actually doing really good. This morning i woke up to Kaden and Taylor laughing. Taylor was in her crib and Kaden was just playing with toys. IT was great. well anyways, enought of jabbling......Happy Birthday Kaden!

The Lake!

2008-06-30T20:49:00.000-07:00

So we went to Roper Lake a few days ago, and it was fun. I never go there, but every time i do it is so much fun. Kaden didnt really like it at first, but then he warmed up to it and started splashing and running around. Kaden is so stinkin cute and is in his own little world!

23 lbs " hunk of burnin LOVE!!"

2008-06-30T20:43:00.000-07:00

So Taylor is my little Chunk. Everyday i just want to squeeze her to death she is so stinkin cute. Kaden was never this big or chunky some im enjoying the squishy hugs! Love it!!

2008-06-21T19:19:00.000-07:00

my BABY has her first teeth, so adorable, BUT man does teething suck!

Is my child the only one??

2008-06-21T19:11:00.000-07:00

Kaden is Crazy, he doesnt know how to eat with his hands, he eats everything like this, i have to cut it up into little pieces so he can eat it like an animal! It is halerious tho! i love my little Kaden!
Kaden will be the big two next week and i dont know if i am excited. He is growing up so fast. He is talking so much more, which is so cute by the way. He can repeat everything we say(def have to watch what we say) but he can also say...shoes,cookie,carrot,grapes,truck,tree,moon,bush,apple juice, milk,cat,dog,slinky,Tay Tay(for taylor).. ect. it is so cute to listen to him speak.

"Horny" Horned Toed

2008-06-21T18:48:00.000-07:00

So when Jeremy was little he loved horney toeds and lizards, his mom says he was constantly outside trying to catch them,let me tell you. NOTHING has changed!So jeremy was so excited to show Kaden this horney toed that he caught, BUT kaden wasnt Excited at all. Kaden is like his mommy, I hate bugs, spiders, HORNy toeds, lizards, snakes.....when Kaden sees a bug, he says, EWWwww!

Am i the only one!!

2008-06-12T21:22:00.000-07:00

Soooo i hardly ever cook dinner, im i the only one that HATES cooking!?

Poor Jeremy, he never complains or tells me how i need to cook more. But...im started to feel bad because it is always fend for yourself, if he wants something good, he always just grills up some stakes or chicken. i feel bad, and i always say i should cook more, So..... i have made a little goal to make dinner for a week straight!! Jeremy is going to love me 50 times more. Any good meal ideas!!

Summer time!!!

2008-06-10T08:40:00.000-07:00

So we have been going to the Safford pool alot latley, and last night we went to the family swim, with my friend Jayme and her little family! It was great, the water is getting warmer as the summer goes by. So this is Kaden and i going down the slide. HE love it, every time we get to the bottom he laughs so hard. I love SUMMER time!!

Like Father, LIke son!!

2008-06-01T15:41:00.000-07:00

So Kaden loves his Daddy! Everything jeremy does Kaden wants to do....it is so freakin cute. When Jeremy sits in his chair Kaden goes and gets his little spider man chair and comes and sits by him. Everything Jeremy eats, Kaden wants to eat. When Jeremy makes funny noises with his mouth, Kaden has to copy it. Jeremy puts his Keys in his pocket and kinda hanging out, Kaden wants him to help him do the same on his pants. Its so cute, that he learns so much and he wants to be just like Daddy!
Kaden even said, "bye bye daddy, LUv you!!
Ya he has never said that to me.......Jeremy didnt hear him, BUT i swear he said it>

2008-06-01T15:38:00.000-07:00

Cheers to a good Weekend!

So Last Weekend Taylor and I went down to SD for there graduation, and also for Rachelle 's baby shower. I had SO much fun. I saw so many of my old friends from HS. Everyone looked so good and so happy with there lives. It was fun to see how ppl change in just a few years after graduating.
Also my BFF from HS chanci came down to AZ. I had so much fun with her, and i hoping she moves back to AZ, so we dont have to just see each other twice a year.
When i got home i was so tried for like 3 days, i was so worn out form going and going...im not as young as i used to be. !!! All in All it was a fun weekend!!

2008-06-01T15:01:00.000-07:00

SO i guess Kaden thought i was cool because i was laying out, so he wanted to also.
SO i set Kadens little pool up in are backyard the other day so Kaden and his little nieces could swim. Its nice to have it because i cant take both my kids to the pool by myself while Jeremy is working.

To Good Friends!!

So latley i have trying to take some things out of my life that just bring hectic and stress. LIKE bad friends........i think i am a pretty good friend i would do anything for my friends if i could, but there is no need for me to stress about trying to be friends with ppl that dont care to try to be friends with me,( which stinks for them, because i am AWESOME)lol
jeremy says that i am to nice, and i know that, but i try to help out friends as much as i can. SO lately have just been pondering about that. So cheers to Good friends!! these three girls have been there for me my whole life.........
cheri was my first BEST FRIEND: she was my friend when we were real little and no one wanted to hang out with me because i wasnt MORMON!! (there going to hell) jk!!
Ladawn was my buddy in High school. we were so DORKY together, and still are when we get together. We knew that when we got together we were gonna have fun! im sad you live so far away!!;(
Brianna, i have to give a shout out to this GIRL, I love her to death.......in high school she was my second family. we have always been good friends. When my mom died, she was the only person that came over to see me,nobody else even called. i just love her to death, and i am glad i have such a great friend, AND she only lives a few mins away!!
SO.....to good friends!!!

BYE BYE bottle!!

2008-05-03T22:29:00.000-07:00

So it has been long over due, i always swore to myself, that my child would never be walking and drinking out of a bottle. SO heres Kaden going on the big TWO in June, and he was still taking a bottle. UGH!!! so finally i buckled down and i stopped giving him one, it was real tough. nap time and bed time was a nightmare, but everyday he asked for less and less. NOw he say's BABBA, YUCKY, and im like thats right, YUCKY!!! It was well worth it, now my kids doesn't look retarded walking around with a bottle in his mouth.

A day out of the HEAT!!

2008-05-03T21:53:00.000-07:00

So jeremy has been wanting to go up to the mountain for awhile now MAINLY to get out of the heat, BUT also to spend some family time. he works so hard during the week that he is to tired to do anything. SO it was fun just being out side, and being with are family. jeremy and kaden looked for lizard the whole time. kaden thought it was awesome, (so did jeremy) jeremy loves lizards, ME on the other hand, EWWw!! So we just played in the creek, ate lunch and hung out. kaden sure was tired on the way home, right when we got in the truck, he went right to sleep!! It was a wonderful DAY!!!

2008-05-02T22:16:00.000-07:00

Ok! SO this is the story.......Kaden is a pretty hyper kid, and it doesnt help that he trips over nothing. So we were chasing him around the house the other day, and he was running in the kitchen and hitting are back door, and running back. Well the last time he did, he tripped (on nothing) and feel right into are back door window. MAN that had to hurt, poor guy. He got up, Laughed, and ran away. i felt so sorry for him, he didnt seem to mind. SO we kept him up for about 2 hour just in case something was wrong. Everything was fine, still being CRAZY Kaden and still falling over nothing.

I love my little kaden!!

So we got kaden this spider man chair, and he loves it, he wouldnt let anyone sit in it for while after we got it. he makes me laugh so much by the funny things he does. i def. think he is a stud.

HE is learning so many new words everyday, SUck as.....B(V)accum,chair, clock, pooh, piglet,milk,baby,bike, but of course mommy is his favorite!! I love my little kaden, i wish i could pause him and keep him little forever. he is learning and growing so fast!!

Taylor Ann Wood!

Taylor was born on October 15,2007. she is are little butter ball, she smiles all the time, you just got to love her. we are so blessed to have her here. she is rolling over and laughing, i am hoping soon she will learn to hold her bottle and sit up by herself, that will give mommy and daddy a little break!

Happy HAPPY Easter!!

So kaden wasnt really into the whole decorating Eggs, he colored this one egg and he was done. i dont know if it's just the BOY in him or if he is still young and not into it. i think i was into it more than him. I had fun!!
