Brittyn's Big Day

What an emotional day.....mostly for me. My baby girl is 8 and old enough to be baptised and accountable for her own actions. Wow! It was such a nice, fun day! She was on cloud 9! She had amazing support from all her family!! A huge THANK YOU to all of them. It means the world to me that we have such wonderful families. We love you! Friends and even her sweet school teacher was there. She is very loved. Here are just a few sweet pictures I thought I'd share.

Another Tag....

Thanks Heather....again.

I am...excited for Brittyn to be baptised on Saturday.
I think...I am kind of a loner.
I know...that I am a good mom.
I want...my patio to be finally done.
I have...beautiful children.
I miss...my kids as babies. They grow up way to fast.
I fear...this world and my kids having to grow up and deal with all the bad things in it.
I feel...honored to be a mom.
I hear...nothing! It is nap time at my house.
I smell...my pomegranate candle.
I crave...really nothing.
I cry...all the time! About anything. I am a big baby!
I search...the Internet, often.
I wonder...what life will be like in 10 years...besides the fact that I will be 40, scary!
I regret...not being a better student in school.
I wish...I had a personal chef, massage therapists and maid.
I love...T my three kids and watching my them play together.
I care...about my family and friends.
I always...kiss my kids even if they are already asleep.
I worry...about the future.
I am not...the best at controlling myself when it comes to money.
I remember...the butterflies the first time T kissed me.
I believe...that we will be together forever!
I sing...LOUD, to myself and kids. They look at me like I am crazy. Maybe I am!
I don't always...prepare my church lesson. Teach on a whim. The girls love that!
I argue...with T over money. Duh, who doesn't?
I write...Brittyn a note every morning and put it in her lunch box.
I win...at almost everything. Games not races or physical stuff.
I lose...mentally my mind. Not all days....just some.
I listen...to my IPod all the time.
I don't understand...ALOT!!
I can usually be found...at home. No where I 'd rather be.
I need...new bar stools. Badly.
I forget...most of the things T asks me to do.
I am happy...with my life and all my many blessings in it!

Tagging anyone who would like to answer a billion questions!

Brownies

After 3 year of asking. Brittyn is finally a "Brownie." There was nothing that could contain her excitement yesterday as she came home from school and was off to her first troop meeting. I never was a girl scout or ever had any interest. My girl wants and will try everything. So.....I let her. I love has she has an excitement for almost everything. She gets out of her box. Willing to met new friends and try new things. That is so not me so I don't know where it came from. Good for her! I am proud of her that she is able to do those things and be comfortable with herself. So, when cookie time rolls around you all know where you will be able to find them.

She came home and was so happy and excited. She read me the "Girl Scout" law. I have never hear it before and it actually pretty cool. Yes, I am a cheesey mom and am going to post it for all to read.

The Girl Scout Law:

I will do my best to be

honest and fair,

friendly and helpful,

considerate and caring,

courageous and strong, and

responsible for what I say and do,

and to

respect myself and others,

respect authority,

use resources wisely,

make the world a better place, and

be a sister to every Girl Scout.

Brittyn's BIG birthday party!

Party with the stars and walk the red carpet!! Brittyn's 8th birthday is on Tues. the 16th. We had her a friend party yesterday and it was really crazy. 15 out of control girls. Lots of sugar, fun, karaoke, dancing and walking the carpet. Poor Beau did not even escape the chaos.

My own little Dennis the Menace.....

My Beau is into everything and them some!!!! I feel like a bad mom he is just so dang fast. I can't let the kid out of my sight and if I do this is what happens. This is only half of it! I never get pictures of the bad stuff. He pulls my floor vents up and throw stuff down them, can open doors so I have to dead bolt the front, garage and back doors, gets into the pantry and drags food all over the place leaving a trail for me to find him, has broken the child proof locks of the cabinet under the sink where the garbage can and dish soap is kept constantly dragging them out trying to eat them. I can't even have him in my bathroom. With in seconds the drawers are emptied. I have to lock my bathroom doors because he gets in there and wants the plunger or to play in the toilet....gross!!!! He takes my computer keyboard and mouse. I have to put them on top of the monitor when I leave the room. If he was not so beautiful and stinking happy I think I would be loosing my mind. So, this is my cute menace of a 15 month old.

Last Night....

Ok, my mom call and wanted to get us all together for something. So as the day passed yesterday we went back and forth as daughters trying to figure out what was up. I was a little nerves. What was wrong? We came to the conclusion that it could not be bad or they would ask us not to bring kids right? So after dinner and once everyone was there they sat us all down. My stomach in my throat. Said that they were called ..................on a mission! What!!!????? I looked around the room and each one of my sisters had tear in there eyes trying to hold back. Then Dad says it is an LOCAL, Spanish inner city mission for South Salt Lake! Wow! We don't know all the facts, but at lest they are not leaving us!! That was all five of us girls fear. So mom is finally going to quit her job. Yahh! Sadly won't be spending more time with us just yet. It will be a lot of work but there truly is no better people to be missionaries!!!

Janeen's a blogger!

One more sister to go!!! Janeen and hubby Corey started there blog. It has some cute pictures of new baby Owen. So yes. Down to one sister, Jen. Get on it girl. Maybe being the only one left might get her to do it.....but then again she is the mom to five kids. So maybe not. www.coreyandjaneen.blogspot.com

Midnight Sun....Edwards version of Twilight

This really sucks!!!! 1000 times! My sister just called me all distressed. Some of you may have already heard this. Stephenie Meyers partial draft was illegally posted on the Internet. How sad is that! This is what she had on her web site. She went a head and posted the draft for everyone to read. 264 pages!!! You can't print it off or any thing. You have to read it from the site. Yes, I tried. This is how you get to it.
Go to http://www.stepheniemeyers.com/ go to Twilight series, then down to Midnight Sun, scroll down to where it says Midnight Sun partial draft and read from there.
I am mad and extremely sad!! Happy reading.

Off to school....

Robbie's long summer is now over. One more year until Kindergarten. We can do this. Pre school is just great for another year. A little more time is always good. Hopefully he will be ready to go when the time comes. Hopefully mom will be too!!!:) My extremely silly little man.

My very handsome little man.

Dry Socket

Yes, that does sound nasty!!! So in the mist of hardly any swelling and going back to work this is what happens! Yesterday T was not feeling all that great. Had taken a pain pill and was throwing up (sorry, I know that sounds lovely) He came home from work early.....never does that and sleep in this morning....never does that either! So, to make the point of my post T has nasty dry socket!! I feel so bad and there is not much I can do.

Happy 60th Dad!!!

My sweet dad turned 60 on Sunday. We threw him a party today. Yummy food, games, the pool and good company. Everyone was there.

The primary song " My dad's the greatest dad" well that is my dad. Always there to help with, talk to, listen, or do what ever he can. He is an amazing dad and grandpa who my kids adore. Friend, teacher, best example and awesome baby sitter.

Dad, you are the best and we love you so very much! I am so proud to call you my dad!!

Like baby Owen's shirt says "Grandpa's my hero".

Happy 60th Birthday Daddy!! We love you much!
