Kodi=6 months

So, it was 6 months ago today that I was in the delivery room, delivering my baby Kodi. She has been such a wonderful, happy baby. I can't see our lives without her in it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy late birthday to my mom! Her birthday was on the 26th! Happy birthday to my little sister Sierra today too, she just turned 13!!!

obsessed!

Rylee is so obsessed! She LOVES watching Peter Pan in all kinds of ways. She especially likes Tinkerbell! It was, for a long time just the Peter Pan Disney's version, but I was going crazy. I tried to find different versions of the story and these are what I found. Now She has to watch at least on a day.

One day I was driving with Rylee and she started yelling, "Tinkerbell mom, Tinkerbell!" I asked her where and she pointed up to the sky at a jet that was leaving a trail of exhaust. I laughed so hard, She really thought it was Tinkerbell! (:

Their back!!

My kids and in-laws got here last night around midnight. My house is already a crazy mad house, but I am enjoying having my kids back and seeing their smiling faces. Bo got sick while at Grandma and Grandpa's house and threw up the whole time. Rylee and Bo both stuck tissues up their noses and got them stuck! Bo shot one out this morning sneezing and Rylee still has one but I think I can get it! The joys of having children! Right? Anyway, My in-laws are here for a while again and we have friends coming in town tonight and staying tomorrow and Owen is going out of town for the day tomorrow. Still really crazy here, but definitely manageable! (;

My little sister Erika

My little sister Eirka is so beautiful!! She went to her Jr. Prom on Saturday and she looked like a princess. The guy who took her, was one lucky guy!! (;

(She sent me some of these pictures via her phone, so sorry if there not clear!)

BLUE MAN GROUP

Owen's work gave him two tickets to the Blue Man Group last week, for the 10pm show last night. Rylee and Bo went to Utah with my mother and father in law for the weekend. Kodi went to a hospital "tea party" fund raiser with our friend Heidi. Then she went to a birthday party with Heidi and Mike. It was crazy not having any of my 3 kids for the day. Owen and I got to go to the show by ourselves and actually enjoy it.

This was me on the way to Owen's work to pick him up.

This was Owen and I waiting for the show to start. Yes, I married a weird one!lol

At the show, they had everyone wrap paper all over themselves. I did Owen! Doesn't he look fabulous?

My families trip to California without us!!!

As you know, my family all came threw here last Sunday on their way to California. They ended up staying in California until Thursday really late. They came back to my house for Friday and then headed to my sister Jana's house in St. George to complete their destinations. Here are some pictures of their fun adventure without us!!!

Rylee and Bo went to Utah with Owens parents til Monday evening. We miss them so much when they leave us... I'm sure they don't even think about us while they are away, little stinkers!

We went to St George on the 9th and got our family pictures done by a friend of ours. Hope you like them! (:

Potty training dilemma!

So you all know I potty trained Rylee about a month ago. Well, the other day I was wanting to start potty training Bo as well. I had the kid potty in the living room where I could continue with my cleaning while he sat on the potty. After about 4 hours of sitting him on the potty every 30 minutes or so, Rylee started going to the bathroom in her pants and talking like a baby (she wanted a treat like Bo for going potty). I decided that now was the wrong time to get Bo started, so I stopped. I was thinking I would start back up when he turns two. Well, since then, Rylee is back to being a "big girl" and today, while I was making dinner, Bo disappeared! I looked everywhere. I finely heard some banging around in the bathroom right off the kitchen and decided to take a peak. It was Bo!!! He was sitting on the little potty with his diaper off, going potty!!!!! About a half hour later, he started hitting the bathroom door again (because Rylee was going to the potty). I let him in and while Rylee was on the "big kid potty" Bo sat on the "small kid potty". He was actually pushing and was trying. Right when I was about to take him off, he yelled, "NO" and then started to pee! I'm guessing that he really is trying to be a big kid like his sister. Now, here is my dilemma... Do I continue trying to potty train him and put up with Rylee, or do I wait til Rylee's been potty trained for a while?

Poor Bo!

Here is another Bo incident... I am really feeling bad for my Bo. He fell off the trampoline the other night and got the goose egg on his forehead and then this evening, he tripped and ran into Kodi's "Jump-a-roo" and got a goose egg on the corner on his eye.

Full house

I have ALOT of my family here staying the night tonight. They are on their way to Disneyland, so they decided to stay with us one of the nights. It's crazy how messy your house can get with added people! (;

The dreded SRING CLEANING!!!

The past few days, have seemed like almost an eternity!!! I have been DEEP cleaning my house and organizing/putting things in storage bins for the next year. I have gone as far as soaking my fake trees leaves in bleach! I can't stand dust, dirt and dog hair every where, so I have been going crazy. Does it every get done? I think I have tackled the biggest things, now I guess onto the small ones. (: Wish me luck now that I'm going to have family here on and off for the next month or so!

Snow time

ok, so I know this is really late getting posted, but I just got the pictures! We went snowmobiling for Easter weekend at my brother in laws family cabin in Beaver, Utah. It was alot of fun to get to enjoy some cooler wearther and the snow for that matter.

growing dino's!

So, we all went to target this morning and Owen took the kids through the dollar section and picked out the growing dinosaurs in little pill capsules. The kids loved them and had a really fun time growing their own dinosaurs. Bo liked to poke them to speed up the process and Rylee just liked them when they were fully grown.

Happy Birthday Dad

It was Owens dad Jeff's birthday yesterday and I forgot to post it and wish him a happy birthday! Happy Birthday Dad, we love you!

Harry Potter

I just have to say, that was a really good book! I have only read this book out of all the other 6 that are out. Everyone told me what happened in this book, so I felt it necessary to read and find out for myself! Anyway, if you know me, you know this is a BIG deal for me since I don't read a whole lot. This was probably the 7th book that I have read in my entire life. It took me a little over 3 days to read it, with the house to keep up, mouths to feed and kids to take care of. I had a really hard time putting it down in fear that I would not ever finish it! (: Anyway, I can't wait til the 7th comes out in paper back so I can read it as well and get a heads up before the movie comes out.

Congratulations!

CONGRATULATIONS to my wonderful sister and brother in law Rachael and Luke Park! They just found out they are going to have a baby BOY! That is so awesome!!! We are so happy for you both, we love you! (:

Dredded family pictures!

Yesterday, we went to St. George to get our family pictures taken. Why is it, that when it's time for family pictures, nothing turns out the way it's suppose to? For instance, I left Owens Tie at home, couldn't find Kodi's hair bow and I didn't feel all that cute. I feel really bad too, because our kids were awful! Poor Miriam had to try so hard to take the pictures when my kids weren't crying, running around or just being little stinkers. Thanks for putting up with us by the way Miriam! Anyway, I think some turned out cute!

After pictures, Jana and Brad got a babysitter and we went out to dinner to Red Lobster and then drove home.

Geo Cache

While we were at the dunes, we all decided to go do a few Geo cache's. The first one was only a mile from camp, so we walked to it. The kids thought it was great "treasure hunting"! The second one was about a 3 mile ride to the general area it was in, so we road the 4 wheelers.
