Barnes Notes

Meet our new addition....a couple months later!

2011-02-17T22:09:00.000-08:00

Since I can't figure out how to move my pictures we will start with Makaylee feeding her baby! She picked up on this really fast, I was only in the hospital for two days and she figured out what I was doing and how to do it herself!

Meet Cambree. She was born on the 29th of November 2010. Her delivery went a lot better than Makaylee's so she is now my favorite child (and because makaylee is now a big time daddy's girl)! hehehe just kidding. Makaylee is doing GREAT with her. I was very worried about her reaction to a new addition but she does really good with her (as long as her daddy is not the one holding Cambree).

This was her first bath. The nurse was very, very nice and picked out a bow that no other baby she knew of had. Makaylee watched her baby sister like a hawk as she was washed by the nurse, (she actually looked a little nervous), she is going to be a great big sister.

Our first family picture.

Happy halloween!!

2010-11-12T14:00:00.000-08:00

Happy Halloween! I have wanted Makaylee to be Boo from Monsters Inc. since last year, so I was super excited when I figured out how to do it. She of course hated dressing up! The only reason the costume is even on her and she has a smile on her fae is because I told her that was the only way to get candy! I can not wait until she is older and I can drag her around trick-or-treating for hours, like my mom used to do. My mom went to Disney land earlier that week and brough back her super cute mickey mouse bucket!!
She is in love with Mickey mouse clubhouse right now so I thought it would be a good idea to carve a Mickey mouse pumpkin. We went to our friends house before it got dark so I thought I would just get a picture when we got home but.......the stupid deer ate it before we even got home for the night!! I was mad!!

1st annual adult easter egg hunt

2010-04-13T21:05:00.000-07:00

I made my family do an adult Easter egg hunt this year! I did threaten (and so did my mom) that they had better be excited to participate! Since it snowed that weekend and again that morning we did the hunt inside. I waited until dark and then sent them downstairs to find their egg and a couple extras with flashlights! Westley got the "golden egg" cause he found the gold egg I hid and Jacob got the silver egg for being the first to find his eggs! They all said they had fun, and I don't even think they were lying! Westley thinks he is awesome for getting the gold egg! I found out after that the entire egg hunt he was re-hiding Brian's eggs or throwing them against the wall so he couldn't win! Such a cheater I should revoke his egg!

Jordan really thought he was funny by pretending he pooped out the "golden egg". Yeah, i think they had fun!

Easter morning

2010-04-13T20:46:00.000-07:00

Yes, I hide Brian's Easter basket. Yes, he complains to no end that I hide it. Yes, I enjoy his complaining because it amuses me! This year I made it way way way to easy for him...next year it will take longer to find!!
I made the mistake of putting bubbles in Makaylee's basket. They should have an age warning of about 5 because that is when they should be able to do it themselves! Stupid cheap bubbles and stupid, crazy, cold Utah weather! We had to blow them inside because it snowed that night! NO more bubbles, ever!

I feel bad for saying i will never get bubbles again cause she was so cute and had so much fun with them!

I led a trail of bunny poops (milk duds) up to her basket. Even after Brian and I started eating them she would still not come close. She cautiously tip-toed her way around them to get to her basket.

Cowgirl.....in training

2010-04-13T20:29:00.000-07:00

We went out to my aunt Debbie's house a couple weeks ago for a birthday party, and since they have horses they saddled them up to give everybody rides!! Makaylee LOVED the horses.....until I put her ON the horse!
She liked the horse, before she knew I was going to be putting her on it!

By the end, she finally got on without throwing a huge fit! She actually looks happy to be there. It only took about two hours to get this far, not too bad in my book!

Spring craft project

2010-03-19T16:20:00.000-07:00

I was watching Studio 5 (they have tonz of cute craft projects)!! Anywho, I have wanted to try a few and never actually ended up doing them. So.....this time I just went and did it. I think it turned out pretty good, I wish I would have got a smaller frame but it works. It still is not done though, I still need to hang a wire across the back and then hang words from little closepins!

Utah/BYU game

2010-03-17T21:01:00.000-07:00

A couple week sago we went to the Utah/Byu game for Brian's birthday. On the way out, I heard two or three different people say "They are a weird couple." I thought it was pretty funny!! Utah got blown out but I still wore my RED proudly!! Brian's family are ALL BYU fans and they are SOOOOOOO annoying!!! It was a pretty fun night....other than Utah getting their butts kicked!
The annoying group of BYU fans!! They all thought they were funny BUT they are definitely NOT!!!

2010-03-12T21:23:00.000-08:00

I have not blogged for a bit, so I thought i would post some of my favorite pictures of the last three or so months! We finally got a new computer, my last one stopped letting me load pictures onto it.
Makaylee likes to help me unload the dishwasher!! Sometimes she is more of a pain when she helps but it keeps her happy so I will happily let her help!
I bought this dress when she was a month or so old hoping that it would fit her for this last Christmas. I think I got lucky, she wore it a couple times but that was because she is on the smaller end of the scale!

This is probably my most favorite picture EVER!!! She loves kitties, she will follow them around my parents house all day if she could. Now that she is able to talk and run,they keep their distance! She knows where their hiding spots are though and will go look for them under my parents bed!! No safe spot for them in the house, so they spend a lot of time outside when we pull up!!

Happy halloween!

2009-11-23T21:15:00.000-08:00

Happy Halloween! This year I decided to do the Flintstones. I always get told that Makaylee looks like pebbles so I decided to make her into pebbles! This is my pumpkin!
This is Brian's pumpkin! We were going to drop it off on out neighbors door but it turned out cute (if you can say that) so we kept it, it was pretty funny!

This is the trick-or-treating group all dressed up (other than Fred)!

My cute pebbles!! She liked trick-or-treating! It was kind of funny for the first few house, I think she was kind of confused as to why people were throwing candy in her bag! But she is her mommy's girl and figured it out pretty quick!

First trip to the zoo!

2009-11-23T20:06:00.000-08:00

A couple weeks ago we went to the zoo for Makaylee's first time! I think she enjoyed it, but she didn't seem very interested. Her favorite animal there was the HOUSE cat that they put behind a window and gave an exotic name! Seriously the thing looked like a pet and it was the only thing she even showed interest in!
They have a scale down be the elephants that you can weigh yourself and see how you size up to a baby elephant, an adult elephant, some other stuff and the weight of an elephants waste for a year! All three of them on it still didn't pass the lowest one which was a baby elephant!

I was most excited to see all the new baby animals, this was in front of the baby elephant!!

This is Brian and Jacob trying to comunicate with their distant relatives on the other side of the window!! hehehehe (they are little monkeys)

cousin lovin'

2009-10-15T10:18:00.000-07:00

This is Dylan displaying some of his love for his favorite cousin!
These two had a blast while Abby was in town!

I told Makaylee to go give Abby a hug and she ended up planting a big kiss on her!

I have to thank Jordan for making this picture so funny! He was so embarassed to have his cousin give him a hug! Thanks Laura for being a good sport!

She had to chase him down to get a hug from him!

Who loves their families......we do!!!

Stewart falls hike

2009-10-14T12:24:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago we went on a hike up Stewart Falls, it was beautiful! These are not in order but still beautiful, especially the ones with me in them!! hehehe j/k This is at the waterfall looking over towards Sundance.

The waterfall with crazy people, some were crazy enough to stand under the waterfall!

The babies made the trip without breaking a sweat and Makaylee and Alyssa almost made it the whole way without crying!

I am a sucker for bright fall leaves, fall is my favorite!

This is the crew before we started on the hike! We should have looked the same when we got back cause the hike is not very hard (that is the reason I like it so much)!

State fair!

2009-10-12T20:08:00.000-07:00

The little kiddies playing on wiggle riders! Two of the wiggle riders pretty much sat in the same spot but they had fun!
Baby cow!

Not so baby cow! This baby weighed over 2,000 lbs!

Maturation program already???

2009-09-24T09:24:00.000-07:00

At least she thinks those are fun!

Makaylee turned 1!!!!

2009-09-16T21:44:00.000-07:00

First birthdays are so exciting!! I am pretty sure that I was more excited about her birthday than she was (heheehehe)!!! I started looking at cakes when she was around six months old, trying to decide what cake I would make and what theme I would choose! After all of that, I stole the idea from my cousin Emily, so ........ thanks for the idea!! A couple days before her birthday Brian and I tried to teach her how to blow a candle out, it didn't work!! Oh well, I got to make a birthday wish for her!! Here are some pictures of the night.
This is us singing (good thing I don't have audio)!!!
This is her cake that I am proud to say I made all by myself!! It was so much fun!

We did make her dress up like a ladybug! My friend found the cutest tutu at Swiss Days and got it for her birthday!!

She loved opening her gifts. Yes, i know I look like a dork!

Her new pony from grandma and grandpa (she is still getting used to it)!

The birthday girls! Since Makaylee's birthday was on a Thursday, we threw her birthday party on Friday, which ended up being on Alyssa's birthday! Nothing better than watching somebody else open presents on your birthday!

We, as in Brian, my mom, my brother and myself thought that it would be cute to take her picture with her sitting by the 1 on the 10 yard line at my brothers football game. She hated it!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy MaKaYlEe!!!!!

Camping @ Palisade lake!!

2009-09-07T16:36:00.001-07:00

Below is what the boys left us to do on our own....and we conquered!!! The boys pretty much parked the truck, grabbed their golf clubs and ran to make their tee time. Mindy, Makaylee and I being the super awesome people that we are, were able to set our tents up all by ourselves!! That is huge considering she is 6 months pregnant and I pulled my tent out of its box up there!! Us girls even got the charcoal all fired up for dinner. We are awesome!!

The newly weds went out on the canoe. Luckily we were able to rent a canoe, cause after packing our truck (for only two couples), we found out there was no room for the canoe we planned on hauling up there.

The boys getting ready to go on yet another fishing trip on the lake.

I wanted to get a picture of us in the canoe......and looking back i should have thought longer about wanting a picture on the last day of camping with no shower!! yikes!

Brian and Makaylee and in the background is Matt and Kaycie.

Everybody in the canoe except for myself, Makaylee and the preggo (Mindy). Even though this picture makes it look easy to pull a floating chair around a lake, the ones rowing will tell you otherwise, but they couldn't let go cause Matt is a horrible swimmer!!

Kaycie made a hammock for Christmas one year and decided to give it a try up camping. Luckily her and Matt had a good time in it cause Makaylee sure didn't! j/k she had a good time in it when she was by herself.

Jon loves fishing!! He even fishes where on the dock it specifically says "NO FISHING", but apparently it's okay if you step down a foot into the canoe that is tied up to the dock!!!

It finally happened

2009-08-22T10:59:00.000-07:00

My brother -in-law finally got married earlier this month! Kaycie is dancing because it finally happened after almost three years. That morning we got to the parking garage at 9:57 (we were supposed to be in the Temple at 10), We should have had plenty of time to walk across the street and get there on time, right? No, we drove around the garage for 30 min. AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! Once Brian finally found a spot (outside on the street) we ran in and asked if we could still make it in, luckily for us EVERYBODY was running behind! We sat there for probably 10 min. waiting for the ceremony to start. Here are some pictures of the day.

The happy couple.

Makaylee and I with Brian's cousin Stacey and her son Quinton. The babies are a day apart in age.

These are a little out of order so sorry. Here is the car, I am a little upset about it though. Brian went out and bought a bunch of stuff, so we got all the kids and went and decorated it. When the bride and groom were about to leave we went out front and found out the car had been washed off and redecorated. I didn't lose any sleep over it but I did think that our version looked a lot better!!!
This is them being boring, they didn't even drip any frosting on each other. BORING!!!

They being goofy. Who couldn't love those faces???

Brian's sister Chelsea made these. They look awesome! She had a hard time the day before with the fondant but they turned out great!

This is Makaylee cuddling with some random children. hehehehe j/k. I knew them but she doesn't ever do that, I hardly ever get loves like this!

Welcome to the family.....almost!

2009-07-24T14:11:00.000-07:00

We had a shower for my sister-in-law to be a couple weeks ago. We had games, food, gifts and the best part....treats! They have been dating for almost 3 years now and when he finally told us he was going to propose i said "it's about time, now lets go look for a ring". So that is what we did. That night we went to the mall and four hours later we found the perfect ring! The next thing was deciding on how to propose. Kaycie (the girlfriend) had moved to New York for a couple months and I decided he should propose with a fake ring, say "you don't like it" and throw it off the Brooklyn bridge!! heheheh He liked the idea. The night before the proposal she told him how some guy proposed and threw the ring off the Brooklyn bridge, so he text me and said he needed another idea and fast! I couldn't think of anything else, in the end he ended up going with the original plan!! He was nervous she was confused but she said "yes". So here we are at the shower. Other than treats, presents are the next best thing!!

I am the receiver of this evil look!! hehehehe I got her something that would totally embarrass her, it worked!!

PDA, gross!
These two are one day apart! He came a little early (his mom was lucky), kind of, that early would be a little scary but he ended up being healthy so I consider her to be lucky!
Now that I am going to have a sister-in-law I have to be on my best behavior. I have, for the last couple years been the favorite sis-in-law (sometimes by default) but now i have competition, bring it on!! hehehe j/k welcome to the family...almost!

How would it be?

2009-07-07T12:28:00.000-07:00

How would it be to get pushed around and have your biggest concern be if you were going to get a ghram cracker? I find her like this all the time when we go on our walks!

Growing up too fast!

2009-06-18T08:58:00.000-07:00

My baby is growing up too fast!! I believed everybody when they told me she would grow up fast but I didn't think it would go that fast!! In the last week she has learned to do so many things that I thought were never going to happen! She crawled for the first time a couple days ago!! I wasn't prepared for that because I have been working on it and she just didn't ever seem to have the desire to move, until two days ago!! Of all the toys we have in our house she decided to move for a Sprite bottle cap (grandpa would be so proud!!)!!! I mean seriously, I have tried toys, food and even putting myself down in front of her to encourage her and nothing! Oh well, i guess. She has learned to sit up from laying down, which makes changing diapers even harder than it already was! I think she should be good and excited for me to change her diaper, I feel like I am doing her a favor but I guess that is NOT how she feels about it! She has learned how to pull herself up from sitting. This means that I get to go through my house and try to baby proof everything, I am sure she will find loopholes around child locks though! Enough already, I just thought that this would all happen over a longer period of time not a week! Here are some random pictures!
This is her showing me that she figured out how to pull herself up!

This is a picture I took when she turned 9 mos! I love that picture...drool and all!

I got my hair done!! It has been a boring brown for probably 8 years and I needed a change! You can't see it very well (cause Makaylee is hogging the light, heheh) but I got highlights! I love them!!! I even was brave and got my eyebrows waxed. This was my first time and yes, it kind of hurt but I was brave! I love having aunts and cousins that went to beauty school!!!

Bell canyon

2009-05-27T13:38:00.001-07:00

A couple of weeks ago I took Makaylee on her first hike! I was so excited to try out my new backpack that I got from my neighbor I went to my moms house, told my brothers they were going on a hike and off we were!! I am so proud of myself I made it all the way up to the lake with Makaylee on my back!! If any of you have been up there and are saying to yourself "wow, good for you it's a super short hike". In my defense it is steep and I had about 20 lbs added on!! Now that i look at this picture I can see that I am making a very cute face, I will blame that on my brother for acting like a dork in my picture. Bell Canyon is so pretty and it's a short hike. There is a waterfall a little further up the canyon and my goal is to work out this summer so I can make it up there with out wanting to pass out or make a million stops to breathe!!! Wish me luck!

This is a picture from about half way up over looking the valley!

This is Makaylee loving her backpack!! She loves to be able to look at everything, she talked my ear off the entire way up.

I told my brother to take a picture of me at the bottom just in case I was a little more out of shape than first suspected!!

April Graduated!!

2009-05-20T20:13:00.000-07:00

My mother-in-law graduated a couple weeks ago from Southern Utah University and we decided that we wanted to go down and celebrate it with her!! The main reason we went was because we heard Pres. Monson was going to be speaking!! J/k, I know it meant a lot to her that we were there for her. She has been a very busy lady, on top of getting her MASTERS degree she is the most dedicated second grade teacher that I know! Anyway I wanted to post some pictures of our fun trip.

This is her with the grand babies before she went in to get her cap and gown!

We went bowling, Brian killed us but Tom thought he was pretty good!!

We ate at the park, Makaylee liked her cucumber!!
More pictures after she got her diploma!!! I have a very cute baby!!!

Congrats April!!!

Wheeler Farm

2009-04-27T18:45:00.000-07:00

Last Monday my friend Amber invited Makaylee and I to go to Wheeler Farm with her and her son Owen. Brian had a meeting downtown and was able to meet us there after. Since Makaylee loves animals right now I thought that it would be fun.
These babies are probably only hours old!! So So So cute!!!

Say cheese!! Or cheese ball!!!

Mommy and Makaylee!!

Sand Dunes

2009-04-27T12:23:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago we were invited to go to the Sand dunes. I was a little hesitant just because I wasn't sure if Makaylee would be able to sleep, if she couldn't, I was afraid of the fit she would throw!! But she and her little friend Alyssa slept like a couple babies, I am a proud mommy!! hehehe She didn't put up a stink she just sat in her car seat, chewed on her blanket and dozed off into four wheeling adventure dreams. This is the group (most of them).
Me, Makaylee, Alyssa and Cindy trying to find shade up against one of the cars!!

Shawn took me out on the sand rail and he looks thrilled to do so!!

We took Makaylee out on the 4 wheeler and tried to chase rabbits!!

Makaylee and daddy

Makaylee and Dylan on his 4 wheeler.

Tara was smart and brought a tent for the little kiddies to get out of the sun, the favorite toy of the day was a bottle of sunscreen, go figure!!! Why do we waste $$$ on toys????

Fun new sounds!!

2009-04-15T15:17:00.000-07:00

This is her new sound for this month!! I love the sounds that she goes through, I hope that I have recorded them all so I can look back and hear them later!! She started making this noise when she would get mad but now she does it for fun.

Happy Easter

2009-04-15T11:21:00.000-07:00

Happy Easter!! I hope that everybody had a good Easter. This is a little late but I wanted to post some pictures anyway!!! This is Brian looking for his Easter basket (yes, the Easter bunny hides it from him!!) This year he got to look for two baskets!!
This was just so cute!! I don't make finding his basket easy on him, he usually asks for hints!! What a mean bunny!!!!

They finally found their baskets!!! We were running late for church so I had to pretty much tell him where the bunny hid his basket!

I was not watching close enough and Makaylee found her chocolate bunny, I had to take it away so she didn't get her cute dress dirty.

My friend and I made cupcakes for her family on Friday. She did not end up liking them so she told me to take them home and she would start over. I didn't care what they looked like, they were yummy!!

Too many birthday's!!!!

2009-04-10T08:04:00.000-07:00

April 8th is a busy day for Brian and I. Our mom's both turn a year older on that day! On Wednesday Makaylee and I went up to my parents house and hung around and then Brian came up later.......just in time to go to dinner with us. We went to Rock Creek Pizza and then came home and ate an ice cream cake with my grandparents.

Happy Birthday mom's!! (I'll post later on Brian's mom)

My family loves to ruin pictures!!! It will take us hours to get one decent family picture, so I decided that I would just post this and if they didn't like it oh well, maybe they should smile next time!!

I got both of our moms the same thing, it is hard to buy for two women on the same day!! I think that I am going to try and think ahead next year and do the shopping before April 8th!! It actually wasn't that hard, I saw it and thought both of them could use one!!

MTC

2009-04-01T08:38:00.001-07:00

We dropped my favorite brother-in-law Eric off at the MTC on the 25th. Of course I had mixed emotions about it. My brothers have gone on missions and they grew up a lot and had fun. I am excited that he is able to experience this, but I am also selfish in not wanting him to go because I have fun with him and don't want to share him! I went prepared to the MTC with a bag of toys that I hid in his suitcase and NO makeup on my face!! I figured I would look better with just a red face rather than a red face with black streamers going down my cheeks!

Last glance of a cell phone! Makylee doesn't want him to go either, she it trying to destroy his papers by gumming them until no longer recognizable.

Ignore the chin area......I probably should have had somebody else take the picture!!! Isn't he cute??? If you are around the age of 19 and want to write him I can give his address out!!

This is Eric holding Makaylee the night he got set apart, very cute picture!! I got lucky with this picture, It looks like she is smiling but she is actually in the act of throwing a fit! Lucky me!

101 years old and counting!!

2009-03-14T10:37:00.000-07:00

This is Brian's grandpa. He is 101 years old and counting!!! We went and saw him last Sunday and he wanted a picture with Makaylee. They are five months shy of being 101 years apart, crazy!!! His hearing and sight are not that great anymore but the man is still quick and definitely still has his sense of humor!!
This is four generations!

Makaylee was fascinated with her new friend, I had to warn him not to get to close or she might claw him with her daggers we call fingernails (I cut them almost every week)!!

Wagon ride!!

2009-03-14T09:01:00.000-07:00

Makaylee's cousin Dylan got a wagon for his birthday a couple weeks ago, since it is to cold to go outside Uncle Eric takes them around the house!! Kaylee can sit up really well but she suprised me at just how well she is sitting, i think they made fugure eights around the furniture for a half hour. The kids loved it so much the boys would have to take turns hauling them around, everytime one of them would say "ok, im done" Dylan would beg for more.

I love this picture!! heheehe He needed a nap!!

Rice cereal!!

2009-03-05T08:56:00.000-08:00

This is Makaylee's first rice cereal experience!! If you look at the photo that is her excited! She tenses up, starts shaking her arms and kicking her feet. I thought that it was going to be super fun and we were going to make a huge mess and get good pictures. i was wrong! After reading and following the directions on the package, her cereal turned out to look like water with floaties. She couldn't have been happier to eat out of a spoon, even if it was just water. I guess that i wasn't going fast enough cause most of the time she would try and take the spoon right out of my hand and feed herself. Hey, we did end up making a mess! (That is probably more drool than cereal!)
Look at the way cute bib, I love it!!!!

My dads birthday

2009-03-05T08:29:00.000-08:00

Sorry not very good at the picture thing I'm not sure how to flip them. Anyway, my dads birthday was last Friday so I wanted to do something funny cause every time you ask him what he wants he says world peace and it's not going to happen anytime soon!! The guy doesn't need anything. He doesn't make it easy on us to shop for him.My dad is a CPA and I have seen little "tax deduction" onesies at Target for the last i don't know how many years, I was excited this year to see them, and then I was crushed cause I never found them, hello it is tax season!!! I made this one with a tee shirt and some stickers.This is the cutest pic I got out of her, and let me tell you it took two days (the second picture is what she looked like for most of the pics).

So he turned the big 5-0 this year and most of what he got was for his pond. He has put a lot of sweat into this pond, everybody has contributed to the pond. Makaylee and I even helped rearrange some rocks, (I fell in the pond when I was pregnant and then he had to redo that part cause the rocks didn't fit back into place). His gift from my mom was a big pump so now the water is no longer stagnant. It makes noise, it is super awesome!! It needed a bigger pump cause the one thay had would trickle out at the top and he wanted noise!! The last picture is the final result, i wish I had a picture to show what the yard looked like before cause i looked nothing like that, it didn't even have grass when them moved in, it was all weeds!

This is him day dreaming about his new pump!

Happy Birthday Dad!!!

St George

2009-02-15T12:12:00.001-08:00

This last weekend we found an awesome deal on a condo down in St. George. We had a blast, we didn't do much but to just get away was wonderful. Here are some pics of what we did. One of the couples brought their nintendo system so we played a lot of mario cart!!

The little kiddies got to play bubbles.

This is the group, we played a lot of phase 10 and i was the winner of our game that lasted hours and hours because everybody kept phasing, Brian might try and say that he won but he cheated in the first round! Ok so we tied but i think i get to win just cause he cheated!!!

We went down to the pool, the main reason for the pool was because i found a way way way cute swimming suit for Makaylee and she was going to wear it down there no matter what.

I had a little run in with the door!! Do you like my third eye?? I felt super stupid how do you run into a door? Well, let me tell you. I went to shut it and it got stuck on the bathrug and there you have it. It took seconds for this thing to show up.

We had a great time and can't wait until we can go again, i love vacations even if we don't do anything.

Help??

2009-01-28T11:02:00.000-08:00

I was looking through blogs a.k.a.blog stalking, lets call it what it is. Anyway, I was reading a friends and she had her new year's resolutions written down and one of them was learn something new. I thought about it and I also want to learn something new!!! I do need help though. I told Brian I wanted to learn how to crochet and he said "ok, grandma", so I would love any helpful suggestions. What do you do fun that you think I should learn??

Obsessed or not obsessed????

2009-01-24T15:59:00.000-08:00

I found a new "hobby" Brian says I'm obssesed. If you know me I am not a girly, girl princess. Since I have learned how to make these you might be able to debate that girly girl thing with me!! heheheh j/k I'm not I just find it fun. Anyway, a friend gave me a bow board for Christmas and I had to fill it up, I had to!(the three of you can fight about who made it betwee yourselves)!!!!

Scream free shopping!!

2009-01-21T11:43:00.000-08:00

As most of you know I work at Smith's and my biggest complaint is crying, screaming, bratty children!!! I have to (or used to hehehe) listen to it for 8 to 10 hours a day, 38 to 40 hours a week!!!! After working there for a very long time I learned how to tune out the music that we played ( most of the time i swear they were trying to make me go insane), there was one thing that I could NEVER tune out and that is whining and crying. AAAHHHH!!! Anyway, i was watching Studio 5 this morning and they had a lady on that had games for children to play and to get involved in helping, rather than hurting the shopping experience!! Any of you that have children should check it out, she even has templates that you can download and take to the store with you to ease the burden of grocery shopping. Nobody likes to shop for groceries and it is even worse to take kids that haven't had naps or want EVERYTHING on EVERY aisle. Anyway, the website is http://www.studio5.ksl.com/ then look for Surviving the supermarket in style article. She had some great ideas that i was even thinking of using, i will just have to hold on to it for a couple years, but i thought they were that good. Anyway, I'm done complaining. Happy shopping!!!

Happy Birthday's

2009-01-14T17:52:00.000-08:00

On the 10th Makaylee turned 4 months old. On the 11th Brian turned 324 months old!! Happy birthday!!!We have to extend Brian's b-day out as long as we can cause he always complains about it being in cold January! So on Friday i threw him a not so suprise suprise birthday party. Saturday night we went to Desert Star (very funny you should go if you have never been). Then Sunday we celebrated at his parents house with dinner, games and pie.

Finally done!

2009-01-14T17:20:00.000-08:00

The cutest baby EVER thanks to Me! hehehehe Here she is chillin in the cutest bed waiting for her bath water to get warm.

This is one view of her room, notice the rug and the outlet cover they just pull the room together, and i can't take any credit for it!! (I can't take credit for much in this room)

I love this room!!!

Notice how the bumpers even match!!! The paint job was done by my friend Kim that i work with, the bumpers were made by my neighbor Anna. I can take credit for buying the paint and material for the bumper AND the baby, my proudest contribution!!

Naughty or Nice?????

2008-12-17T15:43:00.000-08:00

We had a family Christmas party last weekend, this was her first Santa experience!!!! She did really well even though she never actually looked at santa, i guess that would be considered naughty but look how cute and well behaved she was. I guess Santa will have to decide come Christmas morning!!!

Makaylee's blessing

2008-12-11T21:20:00.001-08:00

This is a closeup of the dress my mom got for the blessing. I love it, thanks mom!!!!

This is her eating her hand and NOT smiling for me even though i tried so very hard to get a smile in her cute dress.

See how much she likes her dress, thanks grandma and grandpa!!

Go Utes!!!

2008-12-06T15:54:00.001-08:00

Brian's mom thought that she was funny!!! Ha Ha Ha jokes on them BYU got smoked!!!!!

Makaylee is already going red, see how she does NOT like daddy's BYU hoodie! Good it's ugly anyway.

This is proof she has red blood in her, she rarely smiles for the camera and of course it was for UTAH!! Go Utes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comparing babies born 1 day apart :- )

2008-12-06T15:47:00.000-08:00

Brian , Makaylee and i up way way way to early. You should be proud I'm not in my pj's!!!

This is my brother meeting the cutest baby EVER for the first time. She cried so much the first day (which wasn't even that much) that he started calling her a brat, no wonder she didn't like him!!

Halloween!!!

2008-11-29T21:24:00.000-08:00
