Going Crazy

Ok so I am so going crazy so far. Brock has been such a sweet little angel until now! All he does is cry when he's not being held and he seriously takes like 20 minute naps. That is so not long enough for me! By the time I put him down and clean somewhat he's up and crying. He's in the teething stage right now so that's way he's so fussy and he has a little cold on top of that. when I get all the kids off to bed that's my time so I go and hit the gym. I hate working out late but I would rather work out at night right now because of how my day goes.

School is going great for Jazmin right now. The school nurse called me on Tuesday and told me Jazmin threw up so I had to go get her. The second day of school and she threw up. I felt bad for her. When I walked in the office she saw me and started to cry. I felt like a horrible mom because I shipped her off to school after she had complained about a headache that morning. I thought it was just a headache so I gave her some pain reliever thinking it would go away. Nope, not in this case. She was fine after noon or so. She just had a little bug I guess.

Labor weekend it coming and we really don't have any plans. That's good because it will be good to just relax for a bit. Brock's MRI is coming up, next Wednesday. I have to be at the hospital at 7:30 and will be there for a couple of hours. I will all let you know how that goes. Crossing fingers it's nothing but good news.

School Days

Mariah's First day of preschool



Jazmin getting ready to go to school


In her classroom


Well it's official today, Jazmin has now begun her education. Today from here on out she will be learning new things, making new friends, having school lunch or cold lunch. Oh I'm so old now!!! This morning was Jazmin's first day of kindergarten. We walked and Jazmin rode her bike. We put her bike on the bike rack and chained it up and walked her into her class. I think at first she was a little scared but that went away quickly when I showed her, her chubby with her school supplies in it. She was so excited to go to school today. I woke her up, did her hair, made breakfast, brushed her teeth and she was ready to go, but we still had like 2 hours until school. She put her backpack on after her hair was done and did not take it off until I finally told her to take it off. She had fun.

Mariah had her first day of preschool last Thursday and she loved it. She told me she shut the door when she went on the potty (she doesn't do that at home). Wow two kids in school now and one at home it's like heaven. I don't have to listen to fighting, or screaming for at least 2 1/2 hours a day what more can I ask for.

6 years of wedded bliss

After riding and waking up at 5 a.m.

So it was our 6 year anniversary on Sunday and we decided to take a little get away vacation. We headed up to bear lake and went 4-wheeling. I know not the typical anniversary day but I wanted to do something fun. I knew Brandon wanted to go 4-wheeling in his area for elk hunt so I decided hey why not go with him. It was way fun. We went on the trails and we also found Old Ephiram's grave. For those of you who don't know the story of old Ephiram it was the last grizzle bear in utah that would eat farmer's sheep and cattle. This bear was huge standing at 9 ft 11 inches was shot by a guy named Frank Clark. There was this rock that showed how big he was and it was huge. So that was fun. We rode for hours and went back to this little cabin that we stayed at and took a nap. We had dinner at this diner in Bear Lake and went back to the cabin and watched the Olympics. It wasn't much but it was fun.

Speaking of the Olympics, I am ready for the games to be over. I can't stay awake that late much longer it's killing me. Brandon and I have been Olympic addicts. Seriously that's all we do is watch the games!

I went to Jazmin's kindergarten assesment on Monday and met her teacher and she has morning kindergarten! Yeah! I was going to throw a fit if she got p.m. just because of her activites that she has going on. She has dance on Mondays (she made the competition team), and then tumbling on Thursday. It doesn't sound much but I'm the one that is driving everywhere so it's alot. Mariah starts preschool on Thursday and she's so excited. Can you believe it I will have one kid at home on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 2 hours! Wow.

Whoa Jazmin

A couple of weekends ago we went fishing with our friends, the Belnaps, out to Strawberry. It was nice we ate tonz of junk food on the boat and just talked. I've always told Brandon that I want to catch a huge fish and he said we this could be your day. Well how come Jazmin, Brandon, and Taylor all caught fish but me and Jazmin caught the biggest fish of the day, a 20 inch cutthroat trout! She reeled that sucker in all by herself too! It was quite funny because she told Brandon that she got a fish and as she was reeling she tells him it's a big one. Brandon was like yeah right and Taylor was like no she really does have a big fish get the net, and sure enough she reels in this whooper. She was sad because she couldn't keep it, fishing regulations it has to be at least 21 inches, but she got to hold it and we took her picture. She I got out fished by a 5 year old!

Vaction Pictures

Here are some pictures of our vaction. They aren't exactly in the order of our trip but oh well. We went and drove along the coast and it was very cold! You will be able to tell by the girls in one picture. We went and played on the beach one day and that was cold. Mariah forgot to get her hoodie so she is wearing my wrap. Brandon is holding a little crab that Jazmin found in the sand. Hope you enjoy them.

Internet Issues

Wow, it's bee forever since I've last posted anything. We have been back from our vaction now for a week and I was planning on blogging our vaction but our internet was down. It was the most annoying thing in the world! Brandon finally called our provider chewed them out canceled and called to get another provider installed, but we had to wait 5 days! What was I going to do for 5 days without the internet. It's not like I sit on the computer all day but I go online to look up different recipes, blog, or look at my friends blog page. So finally we got our new provider today and I will be posting pictures of out trip here by the end of the week.

Our trip was really awesome by the way! The coast was gorgeous and cold! Oregon was way more fun this year than last year! I enjoyed it a lot better and I wouldn't mind living there. It's the same size as Cedar and Grantspass was not a fast moving little town. Brandon may have us moving there sooner than I anticpated with all the animals he can hunt. He's decided he wants to be a fishing guide after his fishing guide trip that he took, and he's going back to Oregon in October for this cast and blast that they have. You go fishing for salmon on the boat and at the same time scare the geese up and blast them while in the boat. I know totally sound fun, yeah right. He is pretty pumped about that. I'm not sure how I'm feeling about it though since he will be gone in Sept for elk hunt, Oct for deer hunt and then cast and blast. All I've got to say is I better be getting my diamond here pretty darn quick!

Island Park was really fun. We just hung around the cabin and went four wheeling and had fun. We really didn't do much but I was ok with that because I was so sick of all the driving we had done prior to going to Idaho.

Now I'm just gearing up for school to start and next month is Brock's MRI so hopefully that will go good. Brock is doing good by the way. I took him in last Monday for his 4 month check up and the doctor said he is doing fantastic for having a rough start in life. He thinks he will be fine but the MRI will tell us and even then we still have to watch his progression on how he will be doing. The kid is stinkin cute and he is huge. He is now 16 lbs and is 24.5 inches long. He is going to be my little basketball player. Well better get going but pictures will be posted soon.
