Here's what we've been doing....

Ya so it is 6:35 in the morning and I am on the computer....ONLY because I have pathetic, annoying, irritating LOUD UDOT on the side of my house 'WORKING' All I hear is the stupid beeping noise they make when they are backing up or dumping!!!!! I HATE UDOT!!!!! (they have been out there since 5 AM!!!!!! And today I don't have to work so I could sleep in... ya whatever!!! :) Nothing too exciting has been going on at our house but here are pics of randomness!

This is Kaser (about 2 weeks ago) a cute little innocent 2 yr old cousin gave him some LOVIN' :)
(ya those are all bite marks! but kids will be kids!!) and the funny thing is my sister-in law sent me a text last night with her little boy bitten by...... LACEY!!! it is so unpredictable!

Britton absolutely LOVES to fly Daddy's plane ( I let him fly it when Jake is at work!!! HEEHEE!! he is pretty good at it too!) He will do almost anything if I tell him he can fly the plane!!! Ohhh Childhood!
On Saturday we went down to Provo and stopped at Cabelas on the way home!! It was kinda like going to the zoo :) ... but this was FREE and it was COOL inside instead of walking around in the heat!! Britton was in Heaven! all the way home he'd say ' that fun mom!! amimals again?!"
You have got to love Kid to Kid!! I took some stuff in and Britton got this Leap Frog Alphabet Train. It is actually pretty cute... and Kaser LOVES it! he can sit in front of it for awhile and just watch it! Look at him... he is so grown up already!! he is also starting to roll over which is fun!
and finally... the Bike!! the other day I was at Target and we went by the Bikes (Brittons favorite section!) and next thing I know he is on a bike like this following me around the ENTIRE store!! it was sooo cute! so I looked at the price tag for this cute little bike.... $50.00!!!! so I broke his heart and told him 'Not Today' and he looked at me and said "Later mom?' ya Later I told him.. so Saturday Night Aunt Ashley called and said she found one on KSL (I Love those classifieds!!) so I called and it was still for sale... So I surprised him with it!! He doesn't look hapy in this picture but he rides that thing everywhere!!!

Sister Harrah......

I love when I get pictures from Christy!! I just got these today and they just make me so happy for her and so proud of what she is doing! She is doing so good and enjoying it... for the most part!! :) I am glad to know that she is being well taken care of by members of the ward in North Carolina... What a Great Church we belong to!!

Christy with Thurl Bailey - he did a fireside one night
Christy and her "1st" companion.. Sister Astle... WITH Elder Ward (whom Megan, my sister has been writing!! Woo woo!!) and Christy making a WISH on her birthday!

Looks like she had a fun Birthday.. even if we couldn't be a part of it!! Love Ya Sis!!

I am still Alive.. if you were wonderin'!!....

Ok.. so its been a while.. a long while... but the other day I tried to make a post and it wouldn't let me do anything, I could change my background... so I did.. a couple times!! and I found a whole lot of people that I know who have blogs!! so I have had fun with checking those out! It is so cool that you can go to one persons blog and find someone you know and then from their blog another.. and then someone will post on yours that you didn't know had a blog.. and even people I don't know I seem to be checking in to just see what they are doing! This is SOO addicting! so yes I guess I am an official blog stalker!! anywhoooo.....here are some pictures of the holiday and what not!

These are ducks living in my mom's back yard


Yes.. that IS my little sister and Britton's Aunt!! funny huh?!



Kaser just heard the fire trucks... he was not to happy with those!
'Just ONE more piece pleeeease?

Random Thoughts!!

I know this is Random.... but I just can't get enough of my boys!! They are just growing so fast!!
It is weird to see Kaser wearing that shirt.. because it use to fit Britton! Where has the time gone??! Britton can talk in sentences and he asks lots of questions (we are in the "WHY" stage!!) and he is very smart. I enjoy watching his little mind going to work to figure everything out in this world! and Kaser is starting to babble and play with things and he giggles a ton!! I know that many of you have heard me complain and even cry when I found out I was having ANOTHER boy.... But I can honestly say that I would never have it any other way right now! I just love them soo much and enjoy watching them (even Kaser) go and do 'BOY 'things with Jake. Yesterday when we were driving to North Fork -or the Mountains- Kaser was crying a little and I heard Britton say to him "Its OK, we ah-most there.." as he was holding his hand... I was filled with such joy and happiness. I am grateful that these young children remind what we are here to do... to help and serve others. (even if they show this ONCE in a while!!) :)

These Photos are from our little road trip to "OUR TREE"



This is the tree that Jake carved in 4 years ago to propose to me!



Ohh... and 4 years later... 2 Cute boys!! :)

Britton LOVES to blow these everywhere!

He had fun walking the trail by himself!

Just Precious!

It's a bird... It's a Plane... NOOO it's a FISH!!

Today I took Britton to the Pet Store because he has been such a good boy this week.. and he just LOVES looking at the fish! The coolest to watch was the 'Nemo' and 'Dory' fishes... but they cost a little too much for just a fun pet... so Britton picked out this blue beta... he absolutely loves it, he sat by it at dinner and would ask it if he wanted to eat, and when he wasn't playing by it he would come up to just 'check' on it! and then when he got ready for bed he had to tell it goodnight!! He is So cute!! Oh I just hope I can keep it alive!! WHAT was I thinking???!AHHH!! :)





Kaser wondering what the heck is that??!!

Water + Toddlers = FUNNN!!!

Today we had quite the time playing in a Bucket of Water with dish-soap and toys-
The boys had so much fun - it amazes me that the simplest things can entertain for quite some time.... Kaser loved being outside and watching the boys make a mess!! Oh he is just tooo cute, isn't he??!!!!


Kaser found this toy quite interesting... can you tell???!!

Happy Father's Day Jake!

Happy Father's Day Jake!!
I am SOOO grateful for such a wonderful Husband and for such an Awesome Father that these boys have. He takes really good care of us and loves these kids so much. I love to watch him rough house with Britton, Watch him get excited to take him to Home Depot, to build things together, to play in the yard , and to always have fun with eachother. He loves Britton and Kaser and you can tell just by watching the things he does for them. I am glad that he is willing to help out with everything, including getting up in the middle of the night if needed!! I am grateful for the Man that he is and for all that he does for our family. It is hard to imagine our lives without our kids, and I am glad they have such a good example of what a Father is to look up to. I love you Jake!!! Happy Father's Day!!!








I also am Very grateful for Jake's Dad, Chris, for the dad that he is and or his example that he has set and still sets for all of us. I am glad that I get to work for him and spend time with him. He has taught me quite a bit through his knowledge of the Gospel and everyday life, and has helped me work through my own issues with my "dad" So thank you Chris for truly being a father to me! I love ya!

Yesterday was Jake's Birthday!! He went with his friends at 6:00 AM!!!! to go Paintballing.... his new favorite sport! They claim it is like playing XBOX live! .... Whatever!!.... when he got home he told me that there were a ton of mosquitos where they played... and oh. my. heck.. he is COVERED in bites!! Poor guy! And this picture shows just how fun paintballing is.... HAH!!! He claims it doesn't hurt... but OUCH!!! I 'm glad it was fun for him..


This is his Birthday Cake that Britton helped decorate! I know you are all jelous of the Candles... & where I got them is a secret!!!! :) Don't you love Britton face???!

What a Smart Boy!!

This is what I found when I came back out to the kitchen from putting laundry away..... and this is what Britton was saying ...
" Gum gone mom... Gum gone" I asked him where it went and he said... 'ate it' I asked him if it was good and he yelled YA!! :)

This is what he used to reach it... his potty!!! Oh-well at least he is using it for SOMETHING- right??!!!

Aren't we CUTE??!! :)

Fun Daze....

....OK--OK so I have been a slacker lately... but here I am!! and today is one of those days when you have a gazillion things to do... but don't feel like doing a dang thing!!! My day started at 5:00 AM!! Kaser wanted to be an early bird today and thought it was a good time to play!! I was not too happy to see him whining to get up when my clock read that time!! So I just laid there hoping he would talk himself to sleep..... Yeah Right!! He has not woken up before 6:45- in a LONG time!!! anyway.. Jake finally rolled over and asked if he should go and feed him..... so I got my butt our of bed so Jake could sleep (Lucky Dog!!) and he has just gone down so I am now trying to update my blog and try to keep the other boys quiet so Kaser will sleep longer than 30 minutes!!! If anyone has any suggestions on how to get a baby to sleep longer than 20-30 min naps PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!!!! (We have the sleeping through the night thing down though...)



Kaser has been doing A LOT better now that we have finally figured out what was wrong with him.. He has the Protein Allergy to Milk issue... so that means SPECIAL, very EXPENSIVE formula!! YAY for me!!! LOL but it sure is worth it, to have a happy baby... now if only I could get rid of the nasty Cold he has... ohhhh... fun days!!!!!



Kaser has grown up so much... I wonder where has the time gone???! I feel like we just brought him home from the hospital!! I guess that is because I sill feel OUT of it!! HEEHEE!!!! anyway its been a fun ride thus far!! and it will only get easier right???!!!!! (I keep telling myself this so please don't burst my bubble!!!!)



I love these pictures -- they show just how much Kaser has changed!!

Let's PLAAAAAAAY-DOH!!!!

So I have found out that this stuff will keep these kids entertained for like an HOUR!!!! (oh how I love that!) It's so fun to watch their imaginations go to work. They baked me cookies, cupcakes, and made "mountains" as Britton would say... and they love blowing out the candle on their birthday cakes!! (thanks katie for leaving that at our house!!! and thanks Grandma Arlene for the cookie cutters!!)

so here's a recipe for FUN:

2 C. FLOUR
1 C. SALT
2 C WATER
4 TSP. CREAM OF TARTER
3 TBSP. OIL
FOOD COLORING


Mix all ingredients in a large saucepan. Cook over stove until it holds together and pulls away from the pan. Cool and Knead

This is great stuff!! Store in Tupperware container, ziploc baggie, or bread bag... It stores a long time!!

Have Fun!!!
