The things that keep us busy....

The things that keep us busy and entertain us are strange ones. We had a pretty lazy weekend do to Trent's teeth and the weather. So, needless to say that my kids found things to do. And yes they where closely watch with the bags! I don't know what we will do when we actually have dinning room table. All three kids love to hang out in the hall closet with pillows, flashlights and of course... treats!

Wisdom Teeth

Ok, Friday Trent had his wisdom teeth out! That was fun and quite funny! He said many funny things and still does not remember. That's ok because they were kind of gross and strange. Why he did not get them out as a teenager I still don't understand. So it has been my job to cater to him. And that has been exactly what I have done. He had told Brittyn a week ago or so that her job was to go buy a bell so when ever he needed anything he could ring it. Ya right....no bell. When we got home on Friday from the doctor Robbie brought it to all of or attention that we did not get a bell. Can I just say again....ya right, no bell!! I just have to say that I have proven to be a wonderful wife. It is not fair either that he barley swelled at all! When I had mine out at age 18 (that's when you should have them out) I looked like I had a freaking ball attached to my face. I am a little bitter. I would show a picture but it is that bad. Embarrassing. I do love you T and I am glad you did not swell up like a ball and that every thing went so well.

Baby Owen is finally here!!

I am so proud of my baby sister!! (Janeen) She was amazing! She was a real tuff cookie today! She went in last night and with lots of work he was born today around 5:45 pm.

I am done with "Breaking Dawn"

Sadly, I am done. For those of you that have not read and want to, stop reading. For those of you reading and don't want to know anything, stop reading.

Last night I sat down to finish my last couple chapters! Really I did not want it to end. I just have to say after a lot of thought on this last book. I am really pleased. I know that sounds funny, but it ended great. Bella and Edward at home with their daughter. That they know new would be able to have her forever. There was some parts in the book that were a little hard for me to get threw but once threw them I understood why they were there. Every part truly made the book. Bella had always thought of herself as clumsy and not all that great, but it took so much for her to see that she had become a strong person that her new family now embraced and admired. Yes, things did get a little strange, but over all.....amazing. Hard to believe at times, but it's a book. You should not always have to buy into it right? Anyways, I thought it was a good end to an amazing series!!

Gonna Be A Bear.

In this life I'm a woman. In my next life I'd like to come back as a bear. When you're a bear you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that.

Before you hibernate. You're suppose to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too.

When you're a girl bear. You birth your children (who are the size of a walnut) while you're sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute, cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that.

If you're a mama bear. Everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers you cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that.

If you're a bear. Your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.

YUP! Gonna be a bear!

Ladies, just thought this was really funny and cute. Thought I'd share! Have a great day to you all! Thanks for being my lady friends.

Heavenly Father new I needed him as much as he needed me. He is funny, sweet, healthy, happy and he loves me. What more do you want for your children? Really, I am sitting here sobbing!

After laying in bed last night with Trent talking about my last tag on 6 words to describe my life. I ask him to guess them and this is what he came up with. I had to post it because of truly made me laugh, hard. For all that know Trent know his humor and his thoughts regarding me.
1. Challenged
2. Messy
3. Dysfunctional
4. Un-organized
5. Un-disciplined
6. Impulsive
Really I can't say that they are not all true, just not as bad as he makes them out to be. He loves me for me and I love him for him. Is that not how marriage works? Hope you all got a nice little laugh on my expense.

Quick and Easy tag....

Jill is a blogger.....

Jill, my sister has finally started her blog after months of talk and now she has officially entered the world of blogging! I am so excited and happy I almost can't stand it. I wish I could get all of my sister there. Maybe one day. I only have three more to go!! Anyway, Jill got it up and going yesterday with a little push from yours truly. http://www.jillwahlquist.blogspot.com/

My camera phone....

Ok I am a little slow when it comes to figuring things out. I have had a camera phone for years and I just figured out how to get my picture from my phone to computer and so on!!!! Yes, it is about time. So, I just thought I would share some of my very cute pictures from my phone. Some are a year old or more. Trent and I at Howard Jones, Brittyn and I at Hanna Montana, Beau a few days old, my two older kids at the Gateway fountain, Beau the first time in the car part of the shopping cart, and random silly shots.

Finally........I hope it's worth the wait!

There actually were not any crazies dressed as vampires, but there where plenty of crazies dressed in prom dresses! We had so much fun!!! Barnes n Noble was so very dis-organized! It was completely a mess and then some!!!! Once midnight stuck we got a books with in 20 minutes or so. I was home by 1:00 and that was with taking Janeen home. I was really surprised. So, I just wanted to share my silly, silly sister's and niece's with you all. Yes, I was there. I promise. I took the pictures and I was the only one in my pj's so needless to say I did not look so hot and that is why I am not in the pictures. My niece Morgan and little sister Julie!!! Morgan looks like she is wearing a cake on her head.

My very prego little sister Janeen flashing us her cute tummy. She is due in less then 3 weeks. Jenn my older sister not showing us her tummy.

Again, Jenn with her daughter Brenna.

Julie......again.

Crazy big sister, Jill.

Janeen's turn at wearing the cake on her head.

And then there is Morgan again. Hanging out the sun roof.

And then finally our pretty books!!!!

SOOOOOO Excited!!!!

So, this morning I sweat buckets in line that could loop the store (Barnes n Noble) for my wrist band for the new book. Yes, I had my two boys! That was an adventure!! Jill was with me for the most part, but she had to leave before we got to the front. Uhgggggg, it was so HOT! So, yah!!! I finally made it! Over 2 hours later. I know I am a little stupid,crazy, whatever. So were all those other people. I go back at midnight to stand in line all over again to actually get the book!! But I can't wait. It is well worth it. Something fun to do with my sisters. So, I will post tomorrow to let you know of all the crazy people that show up dressed as vampires!!! My sister's want to wear there wedding dresses!! Ya right! I wonder if I could even fit in mine......probably not!
