2011-08-07T20:09:00.000-07:00

I went to Florida for a little mommy vacation, the kids went to Idaho to stay with Grandma and Grandpa T, Kris has finals and had the house to him self. All in all everyone had a great week. Here are a few pictures to share!! Hope everyone is doing great, cause I know we are!!

No longer private.

2011-06-21T16:23:00.000-07:00

OK so for a while I had a creeping stalker, so I shut everything down for a while. That situation has been taken care of, thank goodness. You think that after I denied him for a loan he would get the hint!! Apparently not!! So I will try again and see what happens. Summer is finally here thank goodness, not sure if any one feels the same but holy cow what a long winter/spring. Hope every one out there enjoys there first day of summer.

Private, Private, Private!!!

2010-12-13T17:52:00.000-08:00

I hate to go private however under the circumstances I am required to do so or shut down the blog all together. I will try private for a while and see if that takes care of the situation. Sorry every one. Hope every one has a Happy and Safe Holiday......

If you would like to be added please email me your info and I will add you.

Pumpkin Picken!!

2010-10-17T18:47:00.001-07:00

My sister came to town for a few days and we took the boys to the pumpkin patch. They had a blast. Grandpa came down and brought our birthday cake that Gwen had made. It was pretty awesome. Here are some pics and Happy Birthday to Laci and I!!

Weekend fun!!

2010-07-26T20:39:00.000-07:00

The boys had one last weekend before school started. They had an awesome birthday party and of course we spent three days in the pool. We had a BBQ with grandpa. The boys really wanted him to swim with them, however that didn't happen much to there disappointment. Jonah and Ethan started school today and Alex starts Wednesday. Heaven help the elementary with all three of the Telford Boys!!

Fun in the sun!!

2010-07-18T19:57:00.000-07:00

The boys have been in the pool for three days straight now. It is just right for the three of them. Today they had Kaden, Grandma and Brandie come over to play. They even talked Grandma into getting in with them. She might kill me for puting the picture up, but the boys insisted that we put some on here. Well the weekend is over and that means back to work. Hope every one had a great weekend.

4th of July in Jackson Hole

2010-07-14T20:15:00.000-07:00

We had a great trip. Enjoy the pics!!

OUR MOAB TRIP!!

2010-04-30T18:02:00.000-07:00

Ethan fell in a sticker bush and was not happy.

Alex with his Bumblebee shirt and the car. The car was the Transformer Edition!!

We had a blast in Moab, it was a bit chilly camping and the boys thought it was alot of fun. The car show was fun Alex loved Bumblebee, Jonah loved the pool and Ethan loved yelling at the cars to "light it up" as they drove down main street. Here are some pic, hope you enjoy!!

Loosing a Job

2010-02-15T18:28:00.000-08:00

Loosing a job makes you think about alot of things. We have been doing that for about two weeks now. However you come to realize what matters the most. Your family and faith. It might suck that Kris lost his job, however we are not going to sit here and dwell about the negative and the bad. It is what it is and we will survive. We are grateful for everything we have been blessed with and know that we will be taken care of. This is just a speed bump in the road!!

Now on to the kids. It has been a long weekend and will be glad they go back to school tomorrow. I was telling Jonah and Ethan they needed to eat there fruit and veggies, Jonah replies "ya so I can get a hot girlfriend", I said well that would increase your chances!! Holy Moly he does not need a hot girlfriend at the age of 8!! Alex is destroying Jonah's lego's him and Kris just built and he is going to have a fit when he turns around and see's what is going on. I better go hide them. Ethan is playing x-box with Kris. Kris is giving his best effort to win and it is not happening. Ethan is giving him advise on what he should and shouldn't do. To funny.

It is Kris's b-day on Wednesday, I took the day off so we can go to a movie and lunch. My friends at work were so great after Kris lost his job it was our anniversary and bought us a gift card to Chili's and gave us two movie tickets. It is nice to have such a great group of girls I work with, so Thanks Tawny, Micole and Kat. You girls rock!!

Well I have to get some kiddos in bed, hope every one has a goodnight.

The Wart Boy!

2010-01-25T18:56:00.000-08:00

Ethan has been fighting warts for some time now. We found a great dermatologist that has helped him. We started treating them on the 4th of January and we are still treating him. The dr. hooked me up with a prescription to treat him at home along with some lotion for the rash. Here are a few pictures. The bottom two are from the 4th and the top two are from today.

Slowly we are making progress. The medicine caused the warts to blister and then scab over. Then they look like burns. He has been good through most of it.

Every one else is good. Glad January is almost over and that gets us one month closer to spring and summer. So glad to see the sun out this afternoon. It was great. We are off to bed the kids have dentist check ups at 8 am. It is going to be a crazy morning at the Telford house.!!

3 Dr's in one week!

2010-01-08T19:40:00.001-08:00

What can I say other than it has been one hell of a week. It started out with Ethan waking up Monday morning with a rash all over him. Two weeks ago the pediatrician said he has Molluskum Warts and sent us on our way. Come to find out they are very contagious. Over the course of two weeks his body had a reaction to the warts thus causing the rash. I took him to the pediatrician and she said it was an infection from the warts and sent us home with some antibiotics. After three days on the medicine there was no change and in fact I thought they were getting worse. I sought a second opinion from a dermatologist and it was no infection. It was the warts spreading and the rash was related to the warts. The Dr. treated the warts that were not already exposed from him itching them with a medicine call "Beetle Juice". He now has blisters the size of a dime every where he put the medicine. He gave me some foam to rub on the rash and sent me home with some antihistamine because Ethan and Benadryl do not get a long. We have to go back in two weeks to check the progress of the warts and rash. I just hope the poor dude gets feeling better.

On to the next sick kid. Alex decided to have an ear infection and have some nasty allergies to the wonderful inversion that we have had. Needless to stay they said to keep him inside. I just done see how that is going to happen. We have been playing allot of Wii to keep him entertained.

That has been our week in a nutshell. I sure hope that next week is better and less crazy, because I might go crazy. Every one else seems to be good and they better stay that way.

Alex is waiting for mommy to go play bowling with him, so I hope every one has a good weekend!

This is for the boys!!

2009-12-30T17:52:00.000-08:00

There is a huge pile of snow waiting for you when you get home. I cant wait to see you. Love you all!!

Idaho Frosted Trees!!

2009-12-29T21:03:00.000-08:00

We made a visit to Idaho for x-mas. Saturday we woke up to beautiful frosted trees. They were so pretty and the sky was as blue as it could be. Thought I would post to share these cool pics!!

Santa at the Telford's!!

2009-12-19T18:39:00.000-08:00

Santa made a visit to the boys. Santa asked what they wanted and Alex starts rambling off all these things that we have no idea about and they were not on his list either. Why do they do that you. It kind of leaves you just scratching your head thinking hmmm, do I need to make another trip to the store!! Mr. and Mrs Clause are an incredible couple!! Here are some pictures hope you enjoy and we will see everyone this coming weekend!!

Thanksgiving and early Christmas at Grandpa's

2009-12-13T17:53:00.000-08:00

Here are some pics from the holiday and having Laci and James stay with us.

Laci decided that they needed to open there presents while they were here. The boys love there new Lego's and have played with them every day. It was a great holiday, except I was sick. All I have to say is Laci saved the day by being here to take care of the kids. We had a great time and went to see the lights at the temple sick and all. We are have way through December and I cant wait for it to be over. The boys are crazy and it doesn't help that they are off track. Well I have to get the kido's to bed. Hope you enjoy the pics!!

Halloween and Birthdays!!

2009-11-12T20:37:00.000-08:00

What can I say October has been and gone. So here are some pics!! I am to tired to blog tonight. Alex aka "GI Joe" are going to bed.

THE SHINNING PICTURES

I flew to Denver over the weekend to surprise Laci for our birthdays. This was four weeks in the making with James to make this a surprise. We pulled it off she had no clue that I was coming. They are about an hour away from Estes Park in Colorado so I booked us a Ghost Tour since it is one the most haunted hotels in the world I thought hey who doesn't want to do a little ghost hunting. The tour was awesome and the hotel is amazing. If you ever get the chance to visit I would recommend this one to check out. The weather was warmer than I expected to be up in the mountains. James was really cute and he got us a cabin to stay in just up the road from the hotel that sits on the river. We went back to the cabin after our tour and dinner and watched the Shinning. This is the famous hotel where Steven King wrote the book. All in all it was an awesome weekend that I got to spend with Laci and James. I cant wait until the next visit.

I had over 150 pics so I posted a few.

Telford's Trauma of the day!

2009-09-29T18:21:00.000-07:00

I was on my way to get the kids from school and I get a phone call from the office. They proceed to tell me that they have Jonah in the office and he is ready to pass out from a nose bleed. Well I am on the freeway and can't do much from where I am at. I go to the school and go in the office and he covered from his nose to his knee's in blood. His nose must have been running like a river. So we get him home and take a look at the situation and get his nose to stop bleeding. We got him all cleaned up and a cherry coke later the dude is all better. So that is my crazy day this far.

We are heading to Idaho for the weekend the boys are so excited to see Grandma and Grandpa T. It will be a nice get away from the city and enjoy the quietness of Malta. Well we have homework to get done and get to bed.

The Evil Flu.

2009-09-17T19:46:00.000-07:00

We were lucky enough to have the flu last weekend with the boys. Ethan started, then Alex puked all over my bed and then Jonah managed to dribble it down the hallway to the bathroom. So I Lysoled the house and cleaned everything you could imagine trying to get rid of it. Much to my dismay I was lucky to be the next one. Well it is whopper so watch out!! After feeling like I had been run over by a mac truck and a few days of getting back to normal I think I will survive. I hope Kris does not come down with it, they are heading out in the morning for the

U of U game in Oregon. Everybody keep your fingers crossed that he does not get sick up there. Jonah is so excited to go with. He has his bag packed, DVD player, MP3 player, and anything else you can imagine for the ride. I have packed them cooler full of food and drinks so they should be set. I hope they have a great and safe time. GO UTES!!!!

Alex and his teeth!!

2009-08-28T19:39:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday Alex woke up with a swollen right cheek lower jaw. He cried through most of Friday night and I could not figure out what was wrong. I checked his mouth and couldn't see anything wrong. So I took him to the instacare and they checked him over and sent us home with antibiotics and said check with the dentist on Monday. A few hours had past and I came home from the store and he was just in tears. I called my wonderful dentist that is so awesome explained that it looked like he had a golf ball in his cheek. He immediately said you have to bring him in and he would meet us at the office in an hour. We get in there and the poor nurse was trying to get an x-ray of his teeth and the poor dude was miserable. So he gets him ready so he can pull the abscessed tooth and it was horrible. He had the laughing gas on him, he was screaming and hyper ventilating, so we had to strap him down to a back board and papoose him so he could not fight us. That is where I about lost it. So he ended up pulling his back molar and drilling the one next to it and packing it full of meds. He sent us home with a new antibiotic that he takes 4 times a day for 10 days. We had a follow up on Tuesday and he has a new appointment next week to get the other tooth. It will get a cap and they have to put a spacer in down in his gum so when the other tooth comes in his teeth will not come in crooked. This time they are going to sedate him. So Alex and his teeth have been a bit on the crazy side this year, he has his two fake front teeth and now will have a cap to go with them. If any of you need a good pediatric dentist let me know, he is so great with the kids.

Family and Friends

2009-08-03T19:04:00.000-07:00

We had a great weekend with our family and friends. Jonah was baptized on Saturday. We are so proud of him and he looked so sharp in his suit. His cousin Quintin was confirmed a Deacon on Sunday so we had dinner down there on Sunday. Between the two days the boys were so excited to see Grandma and Grandpa T, Grandpa Henley and all of the cousins they were ready for bed at 8 Sunday night. It was nice to relax for a bit and it be nice and quiet. We just want to thank every one who came and shared the special day with us.

First name basis at the Insta Care!!

2009-06-23T19:25:00.001-07:00

Alex is now the proud owner of 6 staples in the back of his head and some bruised rib's. Some how he managed to fall off the deck and take the patio couch with him. He fell off and landed on the rocks below and then the couch landed on top of him. I was trying to cook dinner as this all took place in the back yard. So Jonah started screaming for me and I knew something had happened. It was a good thing our neighbors were in there back yard and heard me screaming for them. They came over to help me asses the damage. Ron was great to drive me to the Insta Care and his wife took the other two and fed them pizza. He bled all over me and I about threw up by the time we got there so it was a good thing I had a driver. Kris was at work while all of this went down, and if I remember right he was at work when Ethan had to get his staples as well. I am really not good at this stuff, I freak out to easy. Needless to say he is back to running around and wanting to ride his new skate board. Every little fall makes me cringe.

We are so excited for our trip next week to Jackson Hole. The boys are excited to see Grandma and Grandpa T. They can't wait and Alex is ready to load up the car and go this minute. If I start packing now hopefully I wont forget anything and if I am going to do that I better get the laundry done. I hope every one is enjoying the sunshine and warm weather.

BBQ Sunday

2009-06-16T19:01:00.000-07:00

We had a BBQ with Uncle Buck, Aunt Leslie, baby Addy and Uncle Bret. The boys were so excited to have them come over and hang out. They want to know when you are all coming back. Even though we were rained out we had a great time. Thanks for the fun everyone. We will get together again soon. This will be short post I am on the hunt for the potato bugs Alex is looking for. I think he brought them inside. Yucky, although I would take them over a spider!!

Tooth Fairy and Rocks

2009-06-11T20:26:00.000-07:00

We are still alive and kicking. Life has been crazy busy but we are still here. The tooth fairy has visited our house a lot in the last month or so. Jonah has lost about three teeth, one pulled by the dentist and Ethan had two pulled by the dentist. Much to Alex's sorrow he didn't get to go to the dentist and he was upset. Alex likes the funny gas that the dentist gives to you. That boy is going to be trouble!! We were lucky enough for our good friends to give us some of there landscaping rocks that they had left over. The only thing is we no longer had a truck or a trailer. Kris was able to get Todd from work who has both to help us move them and split the rocks with him. Deal!! We moved about 15 huge rocks. Ryan loaded them with the skid steer and we had to unload them. Well the unloading was a bit crazy since we had to do it by hand. The one rock we put in the front yard took about six guys to roll off the trailer. So where it landed is where it is staying. We have more to go in the back yard, but that is a work in progress. Thanks Ryan and Jen for the rocks. Once it is all done I will put some pic's up. Jonah has about three weeks of school left and then has a three week break and then he will be in the third grade and Ethan will be in kindergarten. Ethan is going to be in the all day kindergarten and I think it will be great for him. Alex is all bent out of shape that he does not get to go to school with them. I hate to see the first day they go and he does not. It can certainly stop raining any time now. Holy Moly enough already. Well time to change the laundry. One more load and it is all done!!! Horay for me!!!

Our Vacation!!

2009-05-08T19:50:00.000-07:00

We had a great time while we were in Vegas. It was in the mid nineties and that was perfect. We went to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon. The Glass Skywalk is very cool. It extends 75 feet over the canyon and has a 4,000 foot drop below it to the canyon floor. Thanks, but no thanks to walking out on that. It was the first time to see the Hoover Dam and can I just say it is really small compared to what you see in the movies. I expected it to be this massive thing and it wasn't. Speaking of massive, they are building a bridge at the bottom of the dam were the water comes out. From what I understand they are no longer going to let people drive over the top of it for security reasons. I think that is understandable. The bridge is incredible, just amazing.

Our next stop was an old ghost town in Rhyolite, NV. Very cool, they had old banks, schools, casinos, and an old jail. The jail was my favorite. It still has the old metal door and had bullet holes in it, very cool. This town at one time had 10,000 people in it. It was cool to see old history. We then hit Red Rock Canyon. Cool canyon kind of like Moab, but the rocks are this incredible red. We made it back and have been crazy busy since then. I will post some pics below. Hope every one has a great weekend. I am off to clean house before my sister gets into town. The boys cant wait to see Aunt Laci and Uncle James.

The dog and the toilet paper!

2009-04-01T19:45:00.000-07:00

We have a dog his name is Bullet or "Bullshit" as I call him. He has this thing with toilet paper in the bathroom garbage and digs it out and then drags it through the house and eats it. What is up with that, is he toilet paper deficient??? I am getting really sick and tired of him and the toilet paper. I guess I am investing in garbage can that has a lid on it. Retarded dog! We are on the count down for our little vacation. We have 21 days and we are off to Vegas for five days with no kids. I received a gift certificate from work to Getaway Today vacations for my 10 year anniversary at Mountain America Credit Union. It was for $450 buckaroos!! So we booked us a flight, hotel and rental car for $517, total out of pocket was $67. You cant beat that. We hope to go explore the Grand Canyon and the Valley of Fire out side of Vegas. I hope that the weather is nice enough that we can spend a day at the pool and soak up some sun and eat some good food. I have to say thanks to my dad and mom for taking the kids for the week. I wish them lost of luck. They are going to need it!!! Dad, I will leave you the insurance card in case you need to take any of them to the emergency room. Remember you are not as close the hospital as we are!

Jonah had to have his tooth pulled at dentist yesterday. He had an abscessed tooth. It was really yucky. The tooth at some point and time had trauma to it and that caused the abscess eating the tooth and exposing the nerves and eventually killing the tooth. The poor kid has to of been in major pain, but he never really complained. They gave him a container for his tooth and the tooth fairy left him $2. He thought that was cool and wants to save it.

My favorite show is on, the only show I watch all week so I must stop and watch. I wish every one a Happy April.

Idaho Sunset

2009-03-20T21:19:00.000-07:00

I took some pictures last month when we visited Kris's parents house. This is a look at the sun setting out there kitchen door. It as really awesome. I am trying to blog and build Lego's at the same time. Alex has a new interest in building with them. Kris stayed up until 11 last night building a motorcycle for him. So I get up this morning and there are about a 1,000 Lego pieces on the kitchen table. Now they are all over the house and dog has taking a real interest in them too. Jonah and Ethan are asleep on the couch. Two down and one energizer bunny left to go.

Catching up!!

2009-03-12T19:16:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since I posted and well the kids have been sick, Kris and I have been sick. By the time I am done coughing up a lung I better have a six pack up ab's. Holy Cow is all I can say about this stupid virus or so the Dr's say. They said they have seen it lasting around 3 to 4 weeks. That's Awesome that I get to hack up a lung for that long. I cant wait for spring and summer. On that note work has been crazy since our merger was finalized two weeks ago I have processed 300 loans in 9 days. It is crazy, you have to remind your self to get up and take a break once in a while. It is my 10th anniversay with MACU on the 19th of this month it is crazy to think I have been there that long. The boys are doing great Jonah is practicing his spelling words every night and reading lots of stories for us. Ethan has found love with playing the X-Box and PlayStation with his cousin Kaden. They can play for hours. They had to have a sleep over at grandma's just the two of them so they could play the games and no one could interrupt there playing. Alex, well what do you say about him. He is ball of fire all the time. He is happy doing what ever for that moment. He really likes to play the guitar and jam out. Even though he is 4, he plays like he is a rock star. That is all I have time for right now, I have to go break up the WWF in the front room!!

The Bath Tub Flood....

2009-02-13T21:23:00.000-08:00

Last Sunday night the boys all had baths. We were draining the bath tub and all of a sudden Kris could hear water dripping. Well the bath tub was draining down into the the living room and kitchen. So we have had the computer unplugged because it just happens to be under the ceiling where the water was coming down. We have been trying to fix it all week. Thank goodness grandma Syd is only 5 minutes away so we could use her tub. We think we have it fixed and will give it another try in the morning. Stupid Ivory homes. This happened to our next door neighbor last winter. I think it all comes down to crappy work. Speaking of crappy we also had to fork out $235 for new brakes and roders on the back of the van. I started the stove on fire cooking dinner the other night and today is Friday the 13th. I have to say that because the week started off so bad that I was hesitant to even get out of bed and go any where. Well I did and I told Kris that we had to wear our socks inside out for the day for good luck. Well I think it worked. Only an hour in a half and the day will officially be over. Wahoo!!!!! I

5 more weeks and it is daylight savings time!!

2009-01-30T20:27:00.000-08:00

Can you believe that it is only five weeks away. I can't wait. That means we are that much closer to spring and summer. It is going to be a very long five weeks. The boys had there dentist check up last Monday. Jonah and Ethan walked away cavity free. Now Alex, well what can you say. The poor kid has to go next week and get to crowns on his front top teeth and have another cavity filled in the back. We have already filled the front two teeth and the dentist said at this point it is easier to crown them. So they will sedate him to do this, and the last time he was sedated he thought that Nemo and the Sharks on the wall were going to get him. He was a drunk three year old. It was so funny, and not at the same time. I think you get the picture. So wish us luck!!! Our ten year anniversary is coming up next week. WOW, it is crazy to think we have been married that long. I would not trade one minute of it. It has been awesome and I hope we have another ten, twenty, thirty, wonderful years. I am off to get this crazy green paint off my hands. We are doing some upgrades to grandmas down stairs and we had to cover this part of the wall that was left white from the previous owners, they had a movie projector down there. This paint is just like sand but colored. It is very textured. I have to paint in the square that was left plain so it will match the rest of the room so we can prime and paint and get rid of this ugly pee green paint. For real, it is the consistency of sand and looks like the baby food. I might need some lacquer to get it off.

Going Private, What are your thoughts?

2009-01-13T18:23:00.001-08:00

I am considering going private. I don't think I need the whole world knowing every detail of what is going on in my family. I created the blog for family that we don't see very often, and not for entertainment. There for, let me know your thoughts. So I think it may be time to apply some safety to my blog. So for all of you blogers out there be careful what you post on your blog.

We were lucky to see Grandma and Grandpa T on Sunday for a while. We went to Aunt Allie's house for dinner. It was a wonderful dinner so thanks Aunt Allie, we loved it. Kris's mom is staying with her for three weeks to help her get her schooling done for her RN. Grandma T to the rescue! We will have to try and have a sleep over before she leaves. Grandpa T flew out to Colorado for work. He is going to the the PBR. Ethan was a little upset that he didn't get to go with him. So I told him we would look for him on the T.V. Alex gets up every morning and asks are we going to Grandma T's today, I want to see Grandma T. Alex loves his Grandma T so much!!!!

I am meeting up with Aimee this weekend to see Caroline Spine play. Kris is going with this time and it will be a nice night out. Tawny if you read this I hope to see you too. It will be a blast.

Well the kids just finished dinner and I need to finish the dinner for me and Kris. He will be here in a half hour. I hope you have wonderful night.

I love this picture. I would rather be in Moab right now.......I took this last spring when we took the kids on a weekend trip. It was a blast!!! Cant wait for our next trip. Uncle Buck and Aunt Leslie, we need to get together and plan one.....

Christmas!!! It's finally over!!

2009-01-01T22:01:00.000-08:00

The excitement level in our house was crazy!!! We were lucky to sleep in until 8. It took the boys about 5 minutes to unwrap everything and that was it. Done deal! My sister and her husband drove down from Cheyenne to come and visit and the boys were so excited to see them. They had a blast and can't wait to see them again. My dad and Gwen drove down as well for the day. We had a great Christmas dinner. My personal chef, my husband cooked all day long. It was such a great dinner and the Pear Tartlet for dessert was awesome. Me and the boys watched a movie for new years and went to bed. We didn't make it past 10:30, what a bunch of party poopers we are. Me, Angela and Teresa went to breakfast this morning for a primary meeting, it was more of a girls morning out and that was nice. We should do that more often. I know to bring in the new year most people set goals and such. Well I have decided that this year I am not going to say I am going to do this and that. I am going to totally go with the flow!! What ever happens will happen and we are going to run with it. We are moving to a new branch next week. Literally across the street from the building we are in now. Can I just tell you how excited I am to be out of the dump we are in. We wont have to share the bathrooms with the bums that live in our bushes out side, or did live out side. It is very sad to say that the security guards found him dead out front a month ago. Then you have Cornerstone Counseling up on the second floor. What do you say when the Fire Trucks and Ambulances come to the building four times in one week to take some one out of there. By the fourth time they didn't even use there lights and sirens. So it will be so nice to have our own secure beautiful new building. Well I guess I better go to bed since I have to work tomorrow. Kris has the day off and gets to hang with the boys. I wish a great new year to you all!!!

Changing your mind at the last minute.

2008-12-23T19:25:00.001-08:00

So we finally went to the mall to see santa. I didnt really want to go, I thought maybe Jonah would forget about it and we could mail a letter. NO WAY!!! We stood in line for 45 minutes and when it came down to it, all he could mutter out is that he wanted a Superman Tent. WHAT???

That was never on his list. So now what is he going to think when he wakes up and does not have one, and I most certainly not crazy enough to go shopping with all the people out there. I made the mistake of goint to Wal-mart to get wrapping paper and I must have been out of my mind. Tis the season to be "merry", ya right!! So I better find a good one to tell him in Christmas morning. So if any of you have any good ones, pass them my way. I hope you all have a wonderful, safe and happy holiday.

The things your kids say!

2008-12-15T20:24:00.000-08:00

Well here we are now December 15th. What happen to the first of the month. Wow!!! I have a lot to do, well Kris is going to have a lot to do!! Not a allot going on we finally got some snow over the weekend and kids were excited to play in it, while I sat at there with them and froze. When Alex woke up and saw the snow this was his comment "holy shit pickles" it is snowing out side!!!! I wonder where he learned that one from. For all of you that are reading this, don't get upset that I swore on the blog, it is to funny not to share. Ethan looked like the kid from Christmas Story out there in all of his winter gear, when he could not get up off the ground. Jonah is counting down the days before he is off track. Three and a half day and he is out. He is so excited he can barely control him self. Well bullet is scratching at the door, I am sure he is frozen so I hope every one has a wonderful night.

GO UTE'S and HAPPY B-DAY ETHAN!!

2008-11-23T20:16:00.000-08:00

Ethan was one lucky little boy for his birthday. He went with dad to the game and had a blast. What a great b-day for the now 5 year old. So Ethan and dad stopped to get a Sprite on there way up to the game. So they are standing in line to pay and the lady behind the counter asked him if he was going to the game and he said yes. So they paid and the lady said on there way out "go cougars" then Ethan replies back "the cougar's suck lady". Only my Ethan would be so brave to spit something out like that!!!! While they were at the game I met up with my good friend Aimee and her boyfriend Jason. We went to see a band play in Ogden. We have been following the band for a good 13 or more years. They always sound awesome and put on a great show. So I guess that would make me an old groupie!! It is still fun 13 years later. The weather was so nice today Ethan was able to ride his new scooter he got for his birthday and play with the neighbor kids. You know when you can wear a sweater and flip flops in November it cant get much better than that!! Since it is Thanksgiving this week, we will be going up to my dads house, and the boys cant wait to see grandpa and grandma. See you soon, cant wait for the turkey!

What a week.

2008-11-15T20:51:00.001-08:00

We started last weekend going to the Zoo with Grandpa Larry and Shylee. It was great weather and the boys thought it was cool to take grandpa. We had Shylee staying with us for a week and the boys had a blast playing with there cousin. Grandma Gwen came home from Israel and we picked her up from the airport and the kids were so happy to see her. Not to mention all the chocolate she brought home for them. Ethan got the stomach flu, but it was ten time worse. Needless to say we ended up at the hospital to get him re hydrated. They thought he might of had a appendicitis, so he got the once over from the Dr's and that was eventually ruled out. We had a follow up the morning after to get him checked and he was doing much better. So we are finally to the weekend and have been able to relax a bit. Wahoo for me, they are all in bed and I am going to watch CSI Las Vegas!!!

As the storm clears.

2008-11-03T19:50:00.001-08:00

I took a few pictures yesterday of the storm starting to clear out. I find the clouds awesome in the pics so I thought I would share since the kids are actually behaving for once. Enjoy!!

2008-11-01T19:01:00.000-07:00

Halloween is finally over and so the count down begins for Christmas. The kids had a blast at the Trunk or Treat with Grandpa. The weather was perfect no jacket required this year. I remember when we were little we had to bundle up in our snow suits just to go trick or treating. We all came back to the house after and had Chili and Kris made Chocolate Molten cakes for dessert. Yum!!! He is an awesome chef!!! I took Grandma Syd to Evanston today so we could go visit Ashley. She was so surprised to see me, and was happy to see her happy. The ride was so beautiful with all the clouds and sun shine. The boys cleaned out the garage and the basement while I was gone. Shylee is coming to stay with us for about a week and the boys are so excited to have her come and stay. The question is will she survive the three of them??? It is time for the boys to go to bed, and we get an extra hour of sleep tonight, WAHOO!!!

How many ways can you sleep in a chair?

2008-10-13T18:59:00.000-07:00

Well I decided to clean house, since I had a day off and not just pick up the dozen of toys that are always strung through the house, I cleaned from top to bottom. I cleaned the ceiling fans, base boards, bathroom, dusted where ever I could reach, the two family rooms and then I started the kitchen. 4 hours later, I finally completed the task of the day. I cleaned out the cupboards, on top of the cupboards, pots and pans, dishes, bowls, cups. You name it I cleaned it. Re-arranged the spices, cake mixes, and the pantry. So now all I have left to do fold and put away all the laundry, and now that I have finally sat down, I don't think that will happen tonight. I guess I am not the only one that has tuckered out for the night. How many ways can you possibly sleep in a chair. Alex crashed at 6:45, I guess he had to much fun with mom today.

What Monster?

2008-09-29T17:12:00.000-07:00

Kris had the day off with the kids today. He was up stairs folding laundry, and he noticed that it was really quiet down stairs. He came down to find the kids had let them self's out in the back yard, don't worry they cannot get out. He found Ethan and Alex out there and we had left the pepper out from our BBQ on Sunday. They were laughing and when he asked them what they were laughing about he told him he was trying to make the monster sneeze!!!!! Where in the world do they come up with these things, I will never know. The boys were so happy that Grandpa and Grandma came down Sunday. Alex cried as mama T left, he wanted to go home with her. He cried him self to sleep, and woke up still wanting to go to mama T's. We will have to visit soon. Well they are now chasing each other with the vacuum so I better go and put a stop to the before they try and kill each other. Happy Monday!! We get some amazing sun sets from our bedroom window!!!

Fun with the kids!

2008-09-15T20:36:00.000-07:00

Our kids love to play with the kids across the street. James, Marcus and Julie. They are close to the kids age and have a blast all the time. With her three and my three, there is never dull moment around when they all play together. We also had a nice picture taken with Grandma Syd and cousin Kaden, to those of you that don't know her that is my mom's sister. We were at a baptism for a little girl she babysits and had to snap a few pictures while we had her dressed up. Grandma Gwen is in Israel for two months and the boys are excited for her to get back. Grandpa Henley the boys are counting down for Halloween and cant wait to trick or treat with you. It will be some what of a sad Halloween, for the first time in 31 years me and Laci will not get to celebrate our birthdays together due to her moving to Cheyenne earlier this year. We were born on the same day 4 years apart. We will take some of pics for you and post them so you can see. Well it has been one heck of a Monday, I am going to go put the kids to bed.

Haunted or not? You decide?

2008-08-29T20:25:00.000-07:00

We owned a house in Sugar House for a short time. We renovated it and sold it. During that time, we all had a feeling we were not alone in the house. We all had interesting things happen to us, from seeing a little boy to hearing kids in the basement. We never really thought more of it and continued to finish the house. We recently received a call from our Real Estate agent saying the person that had bought that house from us let it go into foreclosure. Kris proceeded to tell the Realtor why he thought it foreclosed and that was due to it being haunted. So our realtor, was quite shocked by what he said and she told him you tell me why you think it is haunted and I will tell you why I think it is haunted. She had recently gone to the house to take some pictures to post on the Utah Real Estate web site. Upon taking her pictures she found ORB'S and was not able to post any of the pictures. So being curious from our previous experience we ask if she could let us in to take some pictures. Upon taking the pictures we had allot of orb's in our pictures as well. Some of you may not believe in this, but I do and found the pictures to be quit interesting. You can decide for your self.

Batman, Sponge Bob, and Cars

2008-08-21T16:27:00.000-07:00

Alex is Batman, Sponge Bob, and Cars all at the same time. He likes to dress him self, needless to say. He also has been lugging around his

Batman Fishing pole that Uncle James and Aunt Laci gave to him. Uncle James he is ready to go fishing!!!

Staples!!

2008-08-19T18:07:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture of Ethan's head. 5 staples stronger!! He was one tuff dude. He didn't even cry when they gave him the shot and didn't flinch when they put the staples in. I guess all the pokes and sticks he had when he was born made him immune to the pain. It hasn't kept them from fighting they are back at it so I have to go break up the chaos!!! Sorry the picture is blurry, I could get the camera to work.

Weapons and Spiders!!!

2008-08-18T19:36:00.000-07:00

Well Sunday night the boys were throwing things at each other and trying to see who can hurt each other first, I was in the kitchen making dinner when all of a sudden Ethan lets out this scream!! I knew Jonah had hurt him, but did realize how bad until I was looking at the top of his head and blood was running out of the top of it. Weapon???? What in the world did he do and how did he do it, is what was running through my mind. So we spent the night at the instacare getting Ethan's head stapled back together. I could see his scull through the cut. He now has 5 staples in his head and can go back in 10 days to get them out. Jonah's choice of weapon was a orange racket with suction cups on the front to toss a ball back and forth. Needless to say I think Jonah is grounded for rest of his life. I will post a picture of the weapon.

On to the Spider!!!! I hate them, cant stand them, they freak me out, and I have one living in my kitchen window. My window is about 15 feet from the ground and I am thinking how in the world am I going to kill this big nasty ugly spider that has built his condo in my window. Kris opened the window and I about went through the roof as it started running, I thought it was coming in side. So he said he would get out the power washer and try and kill it. Lets hope that does the trick.

Uncle James, Ethan made a paper that says Hi and he loves you!!! See the pic!!

Hope every one has a great week and we will let you know how the staples come out and how we kill the nasty spider!!!!

Monday Madness

2008-08-11T20:15:00.001-07:00

Monday Madness is what today is all about. You can always tell when there is a full moon around the corner. I have tried three times to post this, So I am just going to post some pictures from our Jackson Hole trip that we took over the 4th of July. Hope every one has a great week and I will try again tomorrow.

Injury of the day

2008-08-08T09:17:00.000-07:00

We have been lucky that we have not had to many injuries between the three of them. One emergency room visit and a broken toe. I better keep my fingers crossed.
Ethan fell out of the swing last night and cracked his head open. I freaked out, not because of the blood, but I was right in the middle of the "So You Think You Can Dance" finale. Luckily it was more of a surface wound. We got him cleaned up and put some ice on his goose egg and I didn't miss any of my show. He told me "Mommy I shouldn't swing again it is to dangerous".

2008-08-06T17:54:00.000-07:00

There they areTrouble, Double Trouble and Tripple Trouble. Jonah, Ethan & Alex. What more can you say.

Every one has a blog why not us???

2008-08-06T08:54:00.000-07:00
