Blogging from my phone

2011-08-31T23:09:00.001-07:00

Ok i know it has been forever but what else would you expect from me. Im figuring out how to blog from my phone so this is just a test.

Yes I know its been along time....

2010-12-12T00:54:00.000-08:00

I dont know if anyone even reads my blog any more, but I thought I would update it anyways. Well it has been a very long, stressful two years. Caitlin is now 9 turning ten in March, Zander is 7 and Gavin is now 4. It is amazing how fast my offspring has grown up. During the summer we sold our house in West Jordan and we are now renting a house in Riverton, its not our favorite but it is a roof over our heads right?

I finally graduated from nursing school in September and passed state boards in Novemeber. I cant beleive I am an official Registered Nurse, this is something I have always wanted but never beleived I would ever acheive. (See everyone high school drop outs can amount to something) Now I'm struggling to find a job, I finally get through with school and of course there is no longer nursing shortage. This so was not in my plan, I just hope and pray that I find a job soon since my lovely student loans are going to be due here soon. I still am working as a CNA, but I would so much rather get paid nurses wages instead of CNA wages.

Oh ya our family is growing...yes we are having our fourth and last child due June 8. It was quite the surprise since we did get rid of all of our baby stuff during the move. This is another reason why I need a job!!! As of today I am 15 weeks, so next month we get to find out what we are having and most importantly if this little baby is healthy or not. I know this sounds crazy but I really dont think I could handle having another baby born with any problems. It was horrible to watch Gavin go through what he did knowing that there wasnt a thing I could do to make it better. I know the chances are good that this baby will be healthy, but I thought that with my last baby and got the worst news of my life so the thought is always in the back of my mind.

My camera is broken at the moment so no new pics at this time.

Caitlins 8th Birthday Party!

2009-04-02T17:59:00.000-07:00

I cant beleive Caitlin is already eight, time sure does fly by. I just cannot imagine my life without her she brings such joy and sunshine into my life. Iam so proud of her, she is doing so awesome in school and she is such a great big sister. So this year for her party She wanted a High School Musical 3 slumber Party and so thats what she got. And can you beleive all 10 girls that were invited actually came and slept over it was like I had little tacos lined up on my floor. For her party we decorated some very cute wood picture frame that were pink and the girls put bows, stars and flowers on them, and then they all posed for a picture to put in the frame. Then we played a couple of games of musical chairs, and pin the microphone on Gabriella the girls had a blast!!

Jury Duty, For real?

2009-03-13T17:03:00.001-07:00

So I havent posted in a while and thats due to a broken camera, and well I've just been a little busy with school. Well I just have to vent a little bit about my adventure with jury duty. So I get my little summons for jury duty a few months ago, well I put it in my back pack and forgot about it. Well a week before my duty I remembered and called in and accepted my fate, but was pissed about it come on its not that I dont want to do it , I just didnt want to do it right now because I have enough to do with work, kids and school. So anyways I've been on Jury call all week and have called every night and they didnt need me so I thought I was off the hook and then I called thursday night and wouldnt you know they need me. REALLY the last stinking day they need me. So I show up down town at 8 am in the morning and sit through 4hours of questions from the judge and then wouldnt you know out of 18 people I get chosen to be one of four jurors. Seriously Me, the freak they want me to decide someones fate, I was pretty mad. And its not like this was an interesting case, it was a petty theft case that involved a dude, some sleep meds, and a seven eleven, seriously this case needed a jury? Wow this is what our tax dollars goes towards, Iam impressed!!! Well overall it was quite the eventfull day, but Iam going to have a hard time not spending the $18.50 i got paid it one place. Thanks for letting me vent, and always remember your good enough your smart enough and dog gonit people like you!!

Race for the Cure

2009-02-16T19:28:00.000-08:00

So for my birthday this year the Race for the Cure just happens to fall on it, and I have been wanting to run this in memory of my grandma who died of breast cancer. So I'm trying to get a big group of people together who would like to come and run this race for a very good cause. The race in on May 9th at 8:30 a.m. the cost is $25 if you register online or $30 if you mail in your registration. I think this would be a lot of fun, you dont have to run you can walk, and you can do the 5k or the 1mile walk, and all the money goes to a very good cause. And of course its my birthday so you have to do what I say. HaHaha! Well let me know if any of you are interested, I'm bringing my kids with me (pushing them in a jogging stroller of course). The website is www.komenslc.org if you have any other question about the race. I hope you all decide to come out.

On to New Years

2009-02-04T16:36:00.001-08:00

Since Brads parents were out of town for Christmas we all got together on New Years to have the traditional Prime Rib dinner at Grandmas house. The kids had so much fun with their cousins, and of course they were even more excited to have more presents to open. After that we went home and some of our friends came over with their kids and the adults play guitar hero until 5 a.m.. It was a good time. Mommy and her cute little man Gavin

I know its February but with school and my computer having mental issues what better time then now to post christmas pictures. Christmas eve we spent with my family down in Draper at my sister Jannas church. We had dinner, opened presents, decorated cookies, and the kids ran around the gym all night. It was a nice way to run the energy out of them. Brads parents spent Christams in Ohio so we just hung out at our house all day long. My sister Christy came over with her kids and hung out all day. It was so nice to just hang out and let the kids play with their new toys.

CHoo CHoo trains And Gingerbread houses

2008-12-20T22:30:00.001-08:00

Tonight Aunt Christy brough Choo Choo trains for the boys and Gingerbread houses for the girls to make. The kids had so much fun putting all the candy on the houses and trains. Thanks to Aunt Christy for buying all the kits for the kids to do they had so much fun.

Late Posting

2008-12-20T22:19:00.000-08:00

Well I havent posted in a while because I've had finals. And I'd like to report that I got straight A's this semester. This is the first time in history so I'm proud of myself. These pictures are of us taking the kids sledding last sunday. We have this field by our house so we decided to take the kids out for a little bit. The wind was so cold I think we were only out there for 20 minutes.

My inappropriate Blog

2008-12-09T02:45:00.000-08:00

So as some of you already know, someone out there flagged my blog for inappropriate material. So I would like to say this in the nicest way possible to that lovely person out there: if you dont like my blog then gosh darn it DONT READ IT!! And do you not have anything better to do with your time or what? No really if I did offend any of my friends or family I do apologize, but I still dont think I have anything to outlandish on here.

My rockstar

2008-12-05T18:45:00.001-08:00

Gavins favorite thing to do is play the guitar. He is constantly stealing this guitar from Zander so that he can rock out. He is so freakin cute he always goes around the house singing and jammin out. He can also turn anything into an intsrument, its amazing how creative kids can be. His new thing is squinting his eyes whenever he puts on a cheeser grin.

Caitlins Dance Recital

2008-12-05T18:39:00.001-08:00

Caitlin had her Christmas dance recital last night at Taylorsville High School. Her class danced to Sleigh Ride and she did such an awesome job! I asked her if she was scared because the auditorium was full! And she just simply replyed um no, if I get stage fright I just take a deep breath in and its gone. I have to say she is alot braver then I was at her age. Being the mom of the year that Iam when I decided to record her recital I had the camera turned on and ready to go and as soon as I pushed record the screen flashe disc full! I was so mad, so luckily grandma recorded the dance. Sometimes Iam such a air head I swear. OH ya sorry about the pictures I tried to rotate them but it diddnt work.

Sorry this posting is supposed to go with the picture below. So my cute little Zander was playing outside by himself, well I went outside and found that he was roasting a stuffed frog. I thought it was funny. I asked what he was doing and he said that he was making dinner, like it was no big thing. I dont know if I should be worried about this kid, I just figure he's getting ready to be the next surviorman.

cheeseballs

2008-11-07T18:06:00.001-08:00

Heres a picture of my cute kids right after their bath. Sometimes they can be so cute and make up for all the mischeif they get into. I could not imagine my life without these little cheeseballs they some how seem to always put a smile on my face when Im having a bad day.

Once there was a snowman

2008-11-07T17:58:00.001-08:00

Can you beleive the snow?What the heck. Since I had worked the night before I was easily convinced to let them stay home and play in the snow. The kids were up at 7:30 a.m. and outside playing in the snow. They were so exicted to see snow again. This was the first time that Gavin played in the snow and he loved it. All though I came outside to see him walking around holding his boots trying to get Caitlin to put them back on for hime it was sad but cute at the same time. It was fun to see the kids having a good time with this aweful stuff. HAHA I only let Gavin stay out for a few minutes cuz he is the last person I want getting sick this winter, and boy was he pissed that I made him come in. It was a fun snow day, although I did wake up to a flat tire, I guess thats what you get for letting your kids stay home from school.

Halloween

2008-11-03T17:46:00.000-08:00

This year Halloween was alot of fun. Caitlin was a witch, Zander was a Ninja, and Gavin was a Dragon. I took the kids over to Jordan Landing for some trick or treating, then we came home and Brad took them and some friends and cousins around the neighborhood trick or treating. Later the adults had their own dress up party. It was alot of fun. Of course the kids ended up with way too much candy.

falling leaves

2008-11-03T16:53:00.001-08:00

Me, Gavin, and Zander were over at the neighbors and they decided to play in the leaves. It was so much fun to watch them run and fall in the big piles they piled up. I even had to jump in a pile. Too much fun!

Gavins Story

2008-10-27T20:52:00.001-07:00

If anyone is interested in reading about the hard start our third son Gavin had I have made a blog for him. It is listed under my peeps as Gavins story. Hope you will enjoy.

Zanders Fire Pit

2008-10-27T15:44:00.000-07:00

I went out side the other day and found Zander was rubbing two stick together trying to start a fire in his firepit that he made on his own. I thought it was cute because he was rubbing those sticks as hard as he could. Unfortunately he never created a fire.

Catching Grasshoppers

2008-10-23T16:20:00.000-07:00

This last weekend we went out to Vernal to see Grandpa Ainge. The kids decided to catch grasshoppers and it was hilarious. Caitling was the catcher and every time she caught one she would scream bloody murder. Zander was the bottle holder he would bring me the bottle each time so I could open the lid and Caitlin would put the grasshopper in the jar. And Gavin would pretty much just chase the kids around laughing at them. They had about twenty grasshoppers in this jar when they were done.

Gavins Dinosaur Party

2008-10-22T21:28:00.000-07:00

We had a busy month in September, because Gavin also had a birthday. I cant beleive he is two already, time sure does fly. Gavin loves dinosaurs so he had a blast at his party. He got so many toy dinosaurs and would just sit and roar and chase people around. He also had a blast with the amazing singing spiderman. Mommy decided to be adventurous and make a smoking volcano cake. His party was alot of fun.

Zanders Tony Hawk Birthday

2008-10-22T21:20:00.000-07:00

Zander turned five in September, and for his birthday he really wanted a skate board ramp. So like a good daddy Brad made him a quarter pipe. All the kids and adults had a blast and suprisingly none of the adults got hurt on it. All of Zanders friends and family came over for a big BBQ, it was quite the fun Tony Hawk party.

2008-10-19T16:31:00.001-07:00

Well I cant beleive Im actually a blogger now. I did something I said I would never do. Every one else is doing it so I might as well. I started nursing school so I pretty much have no time for anything else. I probably cant keep up with the rest of the professional bloggers out there but hopefully you'll enjoy.
