Baby Names!

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!

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!!!

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!!

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!

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!

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

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

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

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!

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!

(this post is for Jeremy, and he is telliing me what to write.lol)

Jeremy FINALLY finished his " project " truck! Jeremy's dad bought this truck when jeremy was 7 years old, and never had the chance to finish it. So for 20 years this truck has been hauled around. When Jeremys dad died he gave it to him, and it means alot to jermey and his family to have this finally done and RUNNING! SO here is a before and after. PS> jeremy would really appreciate your comments. lol

Oops i forgot my bikini, that would of been HOTT cause im DEAD sexy! by the way im pregnant in this picture, NOT fat belly!

So a few weeks ago we got are pictures taken by Erin Householder. I LOVE them!! i wanted to post all of them, which i probably will eventually.We had so much fun getting them taken and Erin was very patient with are Crazy little family. SO here are a few of my Favorites what do you think? If anyone is thinking about getting there pictures taken, Erin is definitely the one to go to, she is great and you cant beat her prices $$.

Spurt of energy!

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!

photo's from Erin's BLog

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!

Randoms!

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!

BUT WE did. we wanted to tell are family on Mother's Day. So to everyone else. We are having a little GIRL!! We are defenitly excited for the arrival of this little one. I know im crazy, but im getting baby hungry. anyway, just thought everyone would want to know....like i said i have alot to blog about so hopefully ill feel up to it in the next couple of days......

So i have been going to Yard Sales for the past few months looking for 2 twin beds. i want a head board,foot board, and the rails. I just want anything that is cute for a boy or a girl. It doesnt matter if it is in good shape, because im just going to sand it down and paint them anyways. So if your reading this and you have an old bed frames or anything, i will buy it. i dont want to go spend alot of money to buy something new that im just going to sand down and paint. So if anyone has ANYTHING let me know! SPANKS!!

Utah! (genius world record longest post)

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!
