Family Pictures

So we got back our family pictures today, and they turned out cute. There were a couple of them that either the kids faces, or the lighting. It's been a long time since we've gotten pictures taken as a family so I'm excited. Now I've got to pick which one I want for a Christmas card, and to put up on the wall. Here are just a couple of pictures. Enjoy

Yeah for Saturday

Today was a very good Saturday for many reasons:
-It wasn't cold
-It didn't rain
-Got my nails done
-Took family pictures
-Brock wasn't grumpy for family pictures
-Did something together as a family
-Relaxed at home for a bit
-Took the girls to go see High School Musical 3

I was so pumped to have finally taken our family pictures and I'm crossing fingers that they turned out good. Brock did awesome! Well he had a hard time looking at the camera. I swear that boy is ADD. Everything and anything would grab his attention except for Ericka rattling her keys, and shaking his little snack bottle. Megan got some really cute shots so hopefully!

Oh yeah we finally got new phones on Wednesday, yeah! Our phones were looking pretty ghetto. If I would text a message it wouldn't get to that person until a week later, and my number 4 button didn't work. I like our new phones except for I'm going to die dialing a number because it's a touch screen phone. I'm going to try not to dial while I'm driving. It's got a navigation system in it and it works! We tested it out today going to our photo shot location.

The girls finally got to see HSM3. They have wanted me to take them since opening day and today was a perfect day because 1) all the hoopla has died down, and 2)we were actually home. Brandon stayed home and watched Brock while we had a girls night out. Yeah we won't be going to the movies all togther like we use to due to the fact that Brock is such a wiggle wart. The girls loved them movie and I thought it was alright. I preferred the first two.

So yeah for today because it was a perfect day! Tomorrow is another day and another start to the week.

October Fun

Here are a couple of pictures that I took for the month of October. We took the kids to Hee Haw farms one Saturday and they totally had fun. Halloween was also very fun minus the rain during trick or treating. Jazmin was a vampire, Mariah a nice witch, and Brock was a little lion. He was a good lion and didn't even tug on his costume he just sat in his stroller and just hung out. It was a fun night except for when I started to feel crappy but hey totally worth it watching the girls have fun.

I HATE COMPUTERS (sometimes)

Okay I just want to let you all know that computers are the most frustrating things in the whole world. I finally have my computer back after being down for like a week. It's had a couple of issues and I swear if it happens again I'm going to get Brandon's shot gun and shoot it!! I have tonz of pictures to post up of Hee Haw farms, and lots to tell about surgery and Brandon's surgery. I have to run Mariah off to dance but I will fill you all in soon.

I'm Back

Ok, so it's been awhile but I have a good reason for not posting anything up. The first reason is our stupid Internet was being blocked so we took it to someone to have our computer all cleaned out and the second reason I had my surgery. Yeah I seriously don't know what I was thinking when I wanted to get my tonsils out. It seriously sucked! I puked when I got home after the surgery so that wasn't fun at all! I am now on day 5 and I'm fine other than my throat starts to hurt so I take some ibuprofen. It still is hard to eat some foods so I'm kind of still on liquids. I tried to eat a hamburger patty and I was ok but it's still not that same without the bun! When I'm ready to eat I am going on a food binge. I've lost some weight so that will all come back here pretty soon. I felt bad for my girls cause they were cooped up in the house since Thursday so today we went to the mall. My in laws came so that helped a bunch! So now I'm healing Brock is getting better (he has been a sick baby), and Brandon goes for surgery on Friday. I'm hoping he will heal pretty fast cause I don't know what I'm going to do if he's down. He is the one that helps me with the girls when they don't listen to me. So it's good to be back full into my routine after being down for 3 days!

Big 28 Yesterday

Happy Birthday to Brandon yesterday! It was Brandon's birthday yesterday and it's always fun for me to tease him how old he is and how he's almost 30. I've been saying that to him for 5 years now. It was a good quiet birthday. He was feeling a little sick (fighting a sinus infection) so we just stayed in and ate pizza. We got a surprise visit from the Belnaps and they brought over krispie creams. Thanks a lot guys I can feel my gut getting bigger as I keep eathing those doughnuts. It was a nice visit though.

I'm so pumped for Brandon to get this surgery though because now he won't feel crumby all the time. He seriously been sick since I've had Brock. I'm thinking it's been that long.

Things are going good. The weather totally made a big drop today. We went from the
60-70's to the 40's today. It's really cold!!!

We got bunk beds for the girls last week and they totally love them! They were so pumped. They each get a week one top so there's no fighting. They may love the beds but I totally hate making the top bunk. I didn't think it would be such a pain but it is!!!

I'm really excited for Halloween. I can't wait till the kids get to wear their costumes. Mariah wants me and Brandon to dress up. She wants me to be a witch and Brandon a gorilla. I have no clue where she got that from. He said if I can find one that fits he will wear it. I think I'll be looking through the phone book.

Time Flies

I can't believe how fast this year has gone! It's already October and the next thing you know halloween will come and go and Christmas is here. Life has been so busy for us lately. Brandon has finally done with his hunting season (I think). He went away this past weekend to help a friend get an elk but no luck. He's debating whether or not to go deer hunting in Southern Utah in 2 weeks. I really don't mind but it kind of gets hard when he leaves because the girls start to act up. He doesn't really want to go because he misses us, sweet huh.

I will be going under the knife in two weeks and I'm actually kind of scared. The last time I got surgery I ended up going back to the hospital ten days later for an infection, and I had a horrible horrible cough that wouldn't go away. I never did my breathing thing, which would have helped. I'm not getting anything too serious done just my tonsils out. Hey we've met our deductible so I might as well get them out. I hope that I come out pretty good with no pain, because a week after my surgery Brandon is getting surgery too. He is getting a sinus surgery done. Poor guy has had tonz of sinus infections that he never gets better. He has already had a sinus surgery done but this one will be a little bit more tricky than the last. I'm hoping his recovery won't be too bad. So our month of October will be grand, don't you all agree.

We have once again canceled our trip to Hawaii this year because Jazmin's dance company got invited to dance at Disneyland and she wants to dance there really bad. She seriously begged us so we gave in and so we are off to Disneyland in April over spring break. It will be fun to watch her dance and go but not looking forward about going over spring break when everyone and their dog go to Disneyland.

I hope I've caught everyone up to date with what we've been up too these days. I'm hoping I will blog before I go under the knife. See ya.
