Something is really WRONG!

So lately, I have been an emotional basket case! I mean, I cry all the time for the stupidest reasons and I'm always getting mad at the dumbest things. NO... I AM NOT PREGNANT!!! I just keep thinking that it's my diet I'm on or maybe the lack of sleep I have been encountering. Either way, I am going crazy!!!! other then that, we are doing well, and I'm going to try to make more time to do my usual blogging.(:

wow... Don't do that again!

Today was just one of those days for me. There was really only one BIG thing and several small things. I won't bore you with the small things, but the BIG thing, I might enlighten you with!

The kids and I went to a park and lunch with Owen today before he had to go to work. When I was pulling in to our driveway after our little play time, I put the Tahoe in park and started cleaning a few things of garbage that were around me. I left the car running and got out and then started really cleaning the Tahoe. When I finally was finished, I ended up at the passenger side. I reached over to the key ignition and turned off the Tahoe and pulled the key out, at witch point the Tahoe started to roll really fast backwards! I jumped back in the passenger side and reached for the brake with my hand (this whole jumping and reaching thing, totally bruised every bit of my body!!!). When the Tahoe finally stopped, my neighbor (who I almost hit) came running to the drivers side to help me with the emergency brake. I was really panicked because I thought Rylee was standing behind the Tahoe when it started to roll backwards (the bad thing was I wasn't worried about the neighbor!). Rylee ended up being by the front door, so I was OK, just really shook up and my Adrenalin wouldn't let up for a long time after that. Not something I really want to happen everyday. Just in case you are wondering what happened to make the Tahoe roll backwards..... I did put the Tahoe in park, the thing that happened was it wasn't all the way in park, so it slipped into neutral and I'm not in the habit of putting any vehicles emergency brake on (I'm fixing that)! CRAZY!!!

Food storage

WOW... The past few days in Utah were so productive! I got all of our dry canning and some other random food storage done and ready to come home. With the help of family and friends, I was able to do it all and have so much fun in the process. I even got 11 cases of 24pks of waters for a killer deal!!! I am so blessed to have such helpful people in my life. I definitely wouldn't have been able to do all of what I got done on my own. Thanks Pete and Keri!!!

While I was busy with my things, I found sometime to take my kids to the aquarium and to chuck e cheese with the park family. The kids got to go to the zoo with their uncle Daniel and aunt Shantel's family and hang out with grandma and grandpa park in Coalville and at the house.

What a week!!! Now I can relax at home with the kids (when the house it clean again)! (;

What an adventure!

Yesterday, Owen and I took the kids to our friends Dani and Cody's house. The kids love playing with their son Ruger. We went for a ride on the 4 wheelers and found a really cute "horny toad" that the kids played with for a really long time, until it had to go back to it's "mommy". When we let the lizard go, we continued with our ride and ended up going to a cave that had bat's all over the ceiling. I have never seen a cave with actual bats in it, so I thought that part was really fun!

Their actually sharing, definitely a picture moment! lol

Kodi wanted to touch it, but then didn't want to touch it when it got time to touch it.

quick clarification!!!

So on Thursday, the kids and I are going to be headed to Utah again. I thought I would let everyone know that I was planning on seeing when I got back there, that this trip I'm going to be way to busy! Sorry! This whole trip was planned for canning my food storage and cleaning and getting rid of our family camper! I know... Sounds like fun! (: I am actually really excited to get all my food storage that we need done! YEAH!!! Anyway, I am planning (hopefully) another trip on conference weekend, so I will make some time to see everyone then! Love you all!

Congratulations!

My brother and sister in Law, Rachael and Luke Park, just became new parents this morning. They welcomed Elijah Dale Park to their family, weighing 8lbs 10oz and 20 inches long. Happy Birthday Elijah, we can't wait to meet you!!! Mom and baby are both doing well! Congratulations Luke and Rachael, you guys are going to be great parents!

7 years ago today....September 11, 2001

Don't forget!!!

Fun day as a family!

On Tuesday, Owen and I took the kids to the "Discovery museum" here in Vegas. It was really fun and very interesting. The kids loved all the animals and dinosaurs and most of all the big fish! They got to see all kinds of "stuffed" animals and real live fish and sharks. They thought it was fun to watch the sharks and the sting rays swim around by where they were standing. There was a "hands on" part to the museum where the kids could touch everything and also dig for dinosaur bones and fossils. They love anything where they can get dirty, so they had a blast at that section!

(This is in the part of the museum that was "hands on". As you can see... We were having way to much fun! lol)

After the museum, we walked over to a small play area called "Heritage park". The kids played around on the play yard until we decided it was time to eat.

We went shopping for the rest of the day to get some well needed clothes for the kids and then went and looked at a quad that we are picking up today. Owen is like a little kid in a candy store when it comes to any toys that HE can play with. lol

TAGGED!!!

I figured I might as well do this since almost everyone on here has done it at least once!lol Besides... Now you can all see most of my house since I just moved in!

I have been tagged with a REAL LIFE PICTURE TAG.

The Rules: The rules are you have to take ten pictures of the following things. And you have to do it RIGHT AWAY. No straightening, cleaning or wiping your child's nose. No Cheating.

1. The Refrigerator.

It's small, empty and fairly clean. I need to make a trip to the store!
2. Closet.

This is where everything I don't know quite what to do with goes! lol
3. Pantry.

Really full pantry, but it does what I need it to do! I know... I need to probably find a better home for the bird, but it keeps it dark so the bird stays quiet! lol
4. Favorite room. (Sorry, I have two)

What can I say... I just really LOVE this room!

I really like this room as will. It not only is the office, but it's my craft room too. Which translates to my sanctuary! (;
5. Laundry room.

6. Self portrait.

I hate these kind of pictures! ):

7. Bathroom.

8. What are your kids doing right now?

Kodi: She is getting ready to go to sleep for the night.

Bo and Rylee: Are both watching "Harry Potter" with Owen.

9. The kitchen sink.

Actually really clean. Owen also just got the flowers for me last night as an "I love you" gift! What an awesome husband I have! Love you honey!!!
10. Favorite pair of shoes.

These are the most comfy high heeled shoes anyone can ever own. I would wear them with everything, but then I would just look goofy! lol

I tag: Jana, Rachael, Sabina, Liz, Holly, Ashley, Megen, Jami... and of course, anyone else who wants to!

OUR WEEK IN UTAH!!

This is backwards, so bear with me!

Girls night!

Monday night, all of my sister in laws and my mother in law all went out and had a wonderful girls night out without kids. We went to a really cool outdoor shopping antique center (I can't remember the name of it) and than we went and ate at Mimi's. I need more night outs like that!

Coalville... Where kids can be a kid! (;

Our favorite place to go in Northern Utah is "The Farm". It's a place where the kids can run around and just have fun and us adults can just relax and enjoy ourselves. The kids really enjoy jumping off the fireplace onto the mattress. They did this for an hour around midnight. I think they just didn't want to go to bed. What do you think? lol

The next morning, Bo got up and when to help Grandpa Jeff unload his truck full of bread to feed the chickens and turkeys. Grandpa told him to just set them on the tail gate but Bo can't just set anything down... If you know Bo, you know that he has to throw everything as hard as he can!

I enjoy just sitting on the HUGE deck in the back and just relaxing. I also enjoy the fun animals, even if I get to attached!

This is the view from the back deck! Isn't it just amazing?

3 of the 10 cows my father in law has at the farm. These cows are like dogs! They love attention and when someone drives up, these cows come running and they will like you to death. The kids love it!

These are the turkeys. I think he has 15 or so.

This one, I names UGLY! They are all really nice, just this one grosses me out!

This rooster is really pretty, but it is really mean and likes to attack things bigger than him. Maybe it's a form of little man syndrome! lol
