4 years and ears pierced

So on the 17th we celebrated 4 amazing years of marriage....we spent the day just being with each other and we got a babysitter to go out to dinner and a movie...we saw Hancock and thought it was really funny! I honestly can not believe it has been 4 years since we were married...time really flys by when you are having fun! Wes is such a great husband and an amazing father he supports me in every decision and is always there to listen to me...we honestly have never ever been in a fight and have the most perfect marriage being married is the easiest thing in the world when you are with your soul mate!!! HA HA.....

So onto the next topic I was highly debating on whether or not I should let my daughters choose for themselves when they got older to pierce their ears or not....well we were at the mall and kinda got curious on how they would react if we were to pierce their ears and well...we just did it... and surprisingly they were both really good for it! so now both my girls have pierced ears and I couldn't be happier they are soooo cute and I wish I would have done Skyla's when she was a baby!!

The 4th and swimming

So this is part of the waterfall and river my parents put in their yard. Skyla loved it and had so much fun playing in it when we were up there.

Skyla eating ice cream with some of her cousins on my side after exhausting themselves playing in the river and waterfall. Grandpa "Stale" as Skyla calls him also set up a bunch of sprinklers and made a water park for all the kids it was really fun.
4th of July fun! Skyla with the girl cousins on Wes's side. You can't totally tell that we cut their shirts and tied them up the sides as well as cut the necks out...Wes's parents got a great deal on the outfits but the shirt was just way too big and needed some style...so that is why it is her shirt is off the shoulder.
Kambry's first time in the pool...We have gone swimming almost everyday this summer but I have never dared to take Kambry in the water or just have 2 kids in the water but she is almsot 4 months old and needed to experience it and she loved it and didn't cry at all!

Wes with the girls at the pool....He is so good with them!
4th of July fun...Skyla was terrified of the fireworks that we lit off on the streets and made me go inside and watch from the window....we did watch the city fireworks and she kinda enjoyed those ones...We had a great 4th my sister and her family came down here and stayed with us and we went swimming had a barbeque and watched fireworks. We also went to Mesquite and ate at a buffet and lost a few bucks in the slot machines.

20 years ago....
I was 4 years old living in Orem, Utah going to pre-school and being babysat by Heather's mom had a boyfriend named Dawayne....I played a-lot of house, school, and made a lot of different forts and loved being outside in the snow....

10 years ago....
I was 14 hung out with Nicole and Jolynne a lot I was playing on 3 soccer teams. I was obsessed with x-96 the radio station. I think my boyfriend was a guy named Kevin....not sure went through too many.....lol

5 years ago....
I was in college playing soccer.....hung out with Wes a lot and I think I was working at New Freedom Mortgage as a loan officer. I also moved to Saint George for the summer.

3 years ago...
I was married for a year and pregnant with Skyla...We lived in Phoenix and almost became Cops but it didn't feel right and moved to Saint George.

1 year ago....
I found out I was pregnant with our second little girl....was working at a gym and was going swimming and out to lunch a lot with Rici and Niki and their kids.

Yesterday
I was in Orem and went and got a pedicure with my sister and mom....went to lunch and had a birthday party for my dad and let skyla stay up til 11 so she could play with her cousins....

Today...
We were in the car driving home from Orem got home and we all took a 3 hour nap we were exhausted! I made a frozen pizza for dinner and I actually went running...I felt like sucha slob....

Tomorrow
I am going to do homework in the morning go to the gym if i get a chance I have to go meet a therapist and case worker to place a girl in our company and I am nervous and don't know what to wear. We will probably do something fun for family night like go to a park or swimming.

3 months old!!!

Kambry LaRae 3 months old
I can't get enough of her chubby cheeks and dimple!
Skyla loves swimming so much but was refusing to take a bath the other day unless she had her floatees on it was really funny!

I can't believe my little baby girl is 3 months old...she is now smiling so stinkin cute all the time and she is such a happy wonderful baby girl...unless of course she is hungry...She sleeps from 930 to 330 and then wakes to eat and falls back asleep til 7 or 8 and then will eat again and sleep until 10 or eleven....she is such a wonderful blessing in out lives and I can't believe how fast time the time goes!
Things have been super busy in our lives lately we have had a couple new girls come into our program down here and it has been way hectic getting everyone ready for them and I am so excited to have these girls down here! I hope that they are ready to change their lives for the better.
We are also super busy doing school and are getting closer everyday to finishing up....it will be so nice to take that stress out of my life when we finish only 5 months to go about!!!!
As for the baby weight...it has been so much harder the second time around! I have 6 pounds left to go and it gets so discouraging....I hate the stress of weight!!! I hate always thinking about what I should and shouldn't eat....and trying to figure out time to get to the gym and leaving the kids it is really stressful! it is sooo hard to get back into good eating habits after being pregnant....

Memorial Day Fun!

Okay so not the greatest picture...but I had to run a 5k for a college class i am taking and so I went out and tried to run a 5k a couple weeks ago....like on the 17th and I actually finished 1st overall in the womens division....and my age category....and when I was coming in for the last stretch the Rocky theme song came on....it was hard to fight the urge to throw the Rocky punches.....but i didn't even do it very fast...all the serious runners were running the 10k....but I still felt good about it
The girls in the bed in Mesquite.....Skyla has this thing about trying to share everything with Kambry and it is funny to watch she makes fake eating noses and drinking noses for her...it will be interesting to see how she reacts when Kambry will be able to really eat....
Wes and SKyla just vegging out in the bed at the motel....it was sooo muchfun!!!

Well we went to Mesquite over the Memorial Day/Wes's birthday weekend...it was sooo much fun we had both kids with us and went swimming and ate way more food then we needed to...the buffets are only 6.50 at lunch time which is super cheap so we ate it up!!!! We have also been busy with our classes for the summer semester......but it is nice to feel like the end is in sight!!! I also recently had the opportunity to take up a little part-time job at the rec-center in town....I love staying at home and being able to do work from home but Skyla needs to get out and be with kids other then her cousins and her few friends....it is also a great learning opportunity for her to learn how to share and have rules....so I seriously got hooked up with a pretty sweet gig at the daycare....they pay 10 bucks an hour no taxes taken out as well as bringing both my kids a free pass for Wes and myself...and Skyla can play with a bunch of toys and make a big mess that isn't at my house!!!

What has been up lately!

This is one of the coolest parks around...it has a man-made river with tons of rocks as well as a big splash pad....skyla kept pulling her swim suit half way down that day...I asked her why she was doing that and she said to be like boys.....I am in trouble
We are working on potty training her and I just thought this was a funny picture of her in panty's and my slippers...she is absolutely obsessed with shoes...
Kambry....likes to spit up all the time...I have learned to live with smelling like rotten milk

Well...lets see so much has been going on!! One more semester of college is over and yes I did get straight A's well if you count 1 A minus.....and moving onto summer semester...I can't wait til December to be graduated!!! Mother's day was great....lol...I got a zune for anyone that doesn't knwo what it is..it is mocrosofts version of the ipod....it is really cool....Wes also surprised me with flowers....and i really mean surprise on sat night we were at the store and he was like i forgot to get you flowers what kind do you want....lol....you can imagine what kind of coversation that turned into...turns out he really had some...We have also been super busy having so much fun in the warm spring weather...Wes thinks I am totally nuts because I love taking the kids out to different parks and places all the time...I am not a homebody and just love doing fun new things with my kids...although our 2 year old has become so smart she is so particular about the roads I take and which way I turn...she knows pretty much every store and place there is in Saint George....if I drive by Target, Wal-mart, any park, even the Dr's office she throws fits to stop and go to them...and trust me it is very hard to not give into them....well Kambry is now 2 months old and I can't believe how fast it has gone by....she went from 8 lbs 3 oz at birth to 12 lbs 5 oz...and 18.5 in to 23 in......I won't lie she is a chubby baby and is not shy about eating....I love it though...her cute little fat rolls are so adorable!!!!

blessing day

ha ha what a random picture...i wanted a different one...oh well!

All the cousins playing with chalk during the party

This was before the blessing at 8 in the morning!
Kambry was exhausted from her big day!


Kambry was blessed today and it was such a fun weekend! All of the cousins came down to Saint George to get away from the cold up north! We had a packed weekend! All the kids slept over at my house on friday....boy that was a night getting all 6 of them to bed they made it by eleven and unfortunately woke up at 7 the next morning! We also took all the kids to get pictures that was a challenge and will probably never happen again with 6 kids under 5! We went swimming Saturday afternoon and Skyla loved it! We went to a buffet Saturday night as a family and then those that wanted to watch the Jazz game came over and watched it at our place. Sunday was such a wonderful day...Wes gave sucha good blessing and everyone noticed that he blessed the baby to sleep through the night! I made pulled bbq pork and chicken salad sandwiches as well as pasta salad, pretzel jell-o salad, fruit, muffins, and for desert a cake from costco! We had a great turn out with our families and friends!
