The Kids enjoying themselves!!!!

FUN FILLED WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are all so tried today from our fun filled weekend in Utah. Jason, the kids, myself and my mom and sister ( Yes, I convinced them to come) headed to Utah for shopping and FUN!!! It started Friday evening by heading to Jason's sisters house to spend the night. THANK YOU Bobbi and Bevan for the great hospitality. We always enjoy staying to your house. We always have the most interesting conversations!!!!!!!!!! Anyways, we stayed up late playing the Wii and talking. When we woke up the guys headed the the Motocross races and the rest of headed the Gateway Discovery center. The kids had a blast! We would have stayed a lot longer if they didn't have to take those darn naps. Brielle had the best time playing with all of her cousins. All the way there she was saying how excited she was to see her cousins. She did miss her other cousins, Andrew, Kellan, and Hayden, that couldn't come. But we are going to see them this week, because we are going to help them into their New House! I'm so excited for them and it's not even my house!! We were able to get a few pictures of our fun filled weekend. Stay tuned for more posts since I'm so behind!!

Who will the Lucky 3 be????

I have seen this done on a couple of blogs, so when I found this on Micah's I decided to give it a try. It sounded fun!! Plus Micah is so creative I can't wait to see what she makes me!! So lets PAY IT FORWARD!! Be one of the first three to comment on this post and I will have to make you something...my choice! This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1. I make NO guarantees that you will LIKE what I make! (I can only hope)
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It WILL be done this year.
4. You have no CLUE what it’s going to be … it may be cards, a bookmark, something delicious or a complete surprise to you (and me!) … who knows?
5. Most importantly, you MUST offer the same deal on your blog - the first 3 people to comment on your blog get something made by YOU! (you may surprise even yourself how creative you can be when the pressure is on)

Yummy Pizza!

A while back Bobbi and Sherrie made some delicious soup and had some french bread with it. I think it was Sherrie who made the comment that it would make really good french bread pizza. So the other day while I was in town I decided to pick up a few loaves and try it. I must say what a great idea! Thanks Sherrie! It was delicious!! First, we cut a loaf in half (like subway does.) Then we added some Ragu homemade style pizza sauce, cheddar and Monterrey jack cheese, and pepperoni. Then we put it on a cookie sheet and baked it in the oven at 350* for about 20 minutes. When it was done we devoured it in no time. Even Carter liked it. Thanks Sherrie for the great idea.

Isn't it funny!

I always laugh when I read other people's blog and there are spelling errors. Sometimes I even thought, why don't they just hit spell check. What a hypocrite. I was reading back in a few of my posts and I spotted some spelling errors. The words weren't spelled wrong they were just used wrong. For example, the word was supposed to be the and I wrote they or something like that. I am in such a hurry to post, because the kids are usually trying to help that I hit spell check, but don't proof read. I have even read it with the wrong word there and didn't catch it, because my head read it the other way. So I apologize for the future mistakes, but go ahead and laugh because I will. (Especially if it's you!!!!)

She's growing up!

Kelsie has been working on crawling for a while now. She would rock on her hands and knees, then she would scoot on her bump, then she would only crawl backwards. But FINALLY she's got it. She really started going good on Tuesday while they was stuff all over the floor. It must have been motivation. She wanted to grab all these new things. But on the bad side everything is fair game in her eyes. So out comes the gate to keep her from falling down the stairs, up go the decorations I have put out, and away with the toys that are choking hazards. She has also started pulling herself up onto stuff. She doesn't have enough leg muscles to hold her up so she ends up falling. It's a good thing she's got those chubby thighs so cushion her fall. So all in all Kelsie is getting so big and growing up so fast. I'm just wondering when her teeth are going to make it through.

A swimming pool in the basement?

Yesterday morning I woke up to find a swimming pool in the basement. I've always thought having a pool would be fun, but I'll stick to the kids' blow up pool OUTSIDE! Luckily I have a husband that deals with this kind of stuff for a living! After sucking up enough water to at least get stuff out of the basement we made a haul to the dump. While out and about we went to lunch , because you have to eat even if you house is flooding. So we get back home and the boss calls to tell him they need him asap. They have been bombarded with floods. So off he goes to take care of other peoples houses. BUT, I have the best family in the world!!!! I made a couple phone calls and immediately I had people at my house willing to help. We got everything out that needed to be out before Jason even got home. My in-laws were at my house until late helping suck out water and keeping the kids entertained. I was looking on the bright side of things and thought this is a good thing!!?? Now that my basement is empty and everything is in my parents shop, I'm going to go through it and have a garage sale. To refer back to a post about a month ago, stuff was overtaking my life and I just couldn't handle it. Every time I went downstairs it made me sick to see what I had ahead of me. I bought some storage stuff to organize, so what doesn't fit is going down the road. I love how the basement is empty and open. I might not let any of it come back! But anyways, we were lucky that nothing was ruined. All of my storage was stored in plastic bins so they were safe. The office/scrapbooking room had just been reorganized and cleaned. That was the room that the window well was full and the water was just pouring in. But thank goodness back in the day people couldn't lay a level concrete floor and all my pictures were DRY! I would have been so bitter if my pictures had been ruined that you might not hear from me for a while. Can you say Blackfoot South! But everything is going good, and everything is drying out great. Next time you come to my house you might not recognize it! There's always wishful thinking. Everyone have a good day and stay dry!
