Disneyland!

2010-11-28T22:42:00.005-07:00

Scott and I just came back from taking the kiddies on our Annual trip to Disneyland. This year we were able to go to Knotts Berry Farm too!! We were able to spend some time with Scott's two brothers and their families. We spent three days at Disneyland, and the time went by too fast. We all had a wonderful time, and we can't wait to go back next fall.

P.S. Don't forget to watch ABC on Christmas day, you might see me on the Christmas Show LIVE at Disneyland!!!

The Kiddies

2010-07-12T12:34:00.004-06:00

Okay so I admit it.. it has been a LONNNGG while since I've blogged. I can blame my laziness on so many aspects, but honestly I have no reason. I will try to do better...key word TRY. I was looking at my last blog, and I didn't think I was that far behind on blogging..but I haven't blogged in a year. Where did all of the time go? The kids are getting so big. Sean turns 13 next week..AHHHHH!!!! I have a teenager..crazy! He will be starting 8th grade and he thinks he already knows more than me. Geez..he sounds like me when I was his age. Carly is 10 now and will be in 5th grade..alright all of my friends whom I grew up with...who were my cousins in the 5th grade?? Can we say NKOTB??? hehehe Oh yeah and Where did Babies come from?? Jess..Help me out here? Carson will be in his last year of preschool and will start kindergarten next year. Where did the time go? I'm so grateful for my kids and my husband. For now on I will try to keep my blog updated. I know if I don't I will regret it.

Carson's First Day of School

2009-10-20T12:39:00.007-06:00

I'm a little behind on blogging..okay I'm alot behind. My goal is to get caught up before the New Year starts. In August Sean, Carly and Carson all started school. Sean started the 7th grade, Carly the 4th and Carson preschool. For some reason I was or still am having a really hard time letting my baby go to school. Probably because he is my last baby and it seems like he grew up way to fast. Carson is loving his preschool and it is only a couple of houses away from my house which I love. He has an amazing teacher and had made alot of good friends. I'm just hoping that these next two years of preschool will go by more slowly then when Sean and Carly went to preschool.

In with the Old; Out with the New

2009-08-04T10:19:00.002-06:00

The year 2009 has been a huge eye opener for me! I don't know if it is because I am getting older, or if I am not as naieve as I once have been. After noticing that this world isn't a perfect, happy place like I once had thought, I have decided I am going to make alot of changes and goals for myself. First of all, I am going to be a better wife to my husband. I have noticed that Scott really does love me and will do anything for me. I have decided I am going to quit asking so many dang questions, and to start serving his dinner more. As for my children I have decided to say NO more often. I have been told I am too nice of a mom, and I realized that my kids will ask the same question over and over again until I give them the answer they want. Therefore, my new answer will be NO over and over again. I have decided that perhaps I will save alot more money this way. I have also decided to call my parents and my parents in laws at least once a week whether they like it or not! They will hear from me and all of the wonderful stories I have about myself and my children. As for my friends, I have decided to get rid of the mean, decietful, dishonest ones. I think I am doing a dang good job getting rid of them. The last decision I have made is that I am going to go to church every Sunday. I have a fear of going to outter darkness. Right now I believe I am at the point where they will put me in time out, to let me see what it is really like. I have decided if I start going to church that I will have a chance of staying out of time out. I only want happiness in my life, so I can think that this world is made of Sugar and Spice and everything nice.

My Sister In Law Ally!

2009-06-18T10:55:00.000-06:00

I just wanted to blog on how proud I am of my sister in law Ally. Ally has decided to take her summer vacation off of college to do an internship at the Dominican Republic at the orphange home. Hearing some of the stories and looking at some of the pictures of the children, makes me appreciate how lucky we are to live here in America. In the first picture, Ally is the girl on the right in the first row. We are so proud of you Ally!!

Remodeling

2009-02-07T19:58:00.000-07:00

I think a lot of you have already seen some of these pictures since everyone is on Facebook, which I think that this is the most craziest, addicting thing ever. Scott and I have been busy remodeling the house, and getting the kids into their own rooms. After living in our house for four years we had decided it is time to make the change. We are in the middle of transforming our huge storage room into a fourth bedroom for Sean. We are going to be moving Carly downstairs and Carson will be in the same room. We had also decided it was time to kick Carson out of our room and into his own bed. I wasn't going to give in and buy this Car bed, but since it went on sale we gave into the temptation and bought this bed. Carson was so happy that we bought him this bed, he is still thanking us. Hopefully now that he has a big boy bed, he will go potty.

Christmas Eve

2009-01-17T16:07:00.000-07:00

Christmas Eve was a very busy day for us. Scott had decided that the kids and I were going to wake up with him at 6:30 in the morning and take a morning drive to Park City. He wanted to see all of the chimineys going with smoke, he says it looks like a Christmas Village. Then he wanted to have breakfast there. Well we all woke up and went, but it was freezing cold. The town did look like a Christmas Village with all of the chimineys smoking. When we had the morning experience we decided to eat breakfast at Denny's. Did you know there isn't any place to eat breakfast in Park City? We finally settled for McDonalds, which by the way is the most expensive McDonalds ever. After breakfast we decided to go downtown and look at Temple Square. Scott and I realized we had never taken our kids to the visitor center in Salt Lake. I have decided it is so much better to go Temple Square during the day time then at night. It is a lot warmer, and it isn't crowded at all. The last picture is of Carson looking at Jesus and listening to the story. We had attempted to get a family picture in front of Jesus. The kids had a lot of fun looking at all of the pictures from the Book of Mormon at the Center. After Temple Square we were going to go to the Downtown mall, but we found out it was closed. Scott and I decided to drop the kids over at my dad's while we finished last minute shopping, and have lunch without the kids. That evening we went to Scott's brother's house for our Traditional Christmas Eve dinner. Derek and Meredith made yummy soup in bread bowls. After dinner the kids went downstairs to perform the Nativity. Believe it or not these aren't even half of the cousins on Scott's side. Mary and Joseph is what the family likes to call kissing cousins. When they were younger they told everyone they were going to get married. After the wonderful program, the kids decided to do YMCA. We watched the Christmas story after the performance. Thanks to my brother in law, Derek, who is a Seminary principal the movie brought back memories of me watching that same movie. After the movie we had karoke with Sing Star. After the party we went back to my dad's house. Amber and Danny came and slept over with us. The kids opened their Christmas PaJamas and we put them to bed. We had a great Christmas Eve.

Carson' Birthday

2009-01-11T18:25:00.000-07:00

During Christmas break Scott, the kids and I decided to spend a week in Salt Lake during the Chrismas week. We have done so many things that I decided it would be picture overload if I did the week all at once, and I don't have the patients to upload all of the pictures at once. On December 22 Carson turned 3 years old. We decided to have a party at Chuck-E-Cheese's. Carson was able to celebrate his birthday with his cousin Josh who's birthday is the day after Christmas. Scott and I were so excited that everyone showed up. We have the best family ever. One of my bestest friend Emily showed up to Carson's birthday, thanks Em you are the best!! We had a really fun night. The picture is of Carly and Lilly..they have became the best of friends. The next picture is of Emily and I hanging out at our favorite place. The picture after is my nephew Josh, he was the other Birthday, and he was so excited to be at Chuck-E-Cheese's. The next picture is my brother in law Derek cutting the cake. I am so lucky because I have the best brother in laws (11 of them)..we all have fun when we are together and we get along so well. The last picture is of Carson drinking his Root Beer. Stay tuned the Christmas Eve and Christmas pictures are next..

My Nephew is cuter then yours

2009-01-04T23:19:00.001-07:00

I am going to post my Christmas pictures, but I wanted to show off my cute nephew first. Sorry Jen I hope you don't mind.

2008-12-18T09:05:00.000-07:00

2008-12-09T21:36:00.000-07:00

Last Monday we had the Annual Washington City Lighting of the city's Christmas Tree. It was a lot of fun, and short which made Scott happy. They had the children's choir sing, the children decorate their bikes and scooters Christmas style (which my kids refuse to do), Santa Claus came, and the best part FREE hot chocolate and cookies. The city park was only a block away from my house, so I made my family go..including my sister in law and brother in law. The park looks beautiful now, and everytime I drive past it, it makes me more in the Christmas spirit.

Thanksgiving

2008-12-07T09:45:00.000-07:00

We had Thanksgiving dinner at my house this year, and it was a lot of fun. We had about 15 people over, and I am still suprised we are able to fit so many people in the house. We ate way too much and ended the dinner with dessert that Scott's mom makes..Pavlova. We played games and talked. That morning Scott and I went to Walmart for black friday, and we finished some Christmas shopping. The next day Scott's other sister and her five kids came down from Salt Lake. The whole family went to Pirate Island Pizza and we met later to meet Santa. Sean is thinking he is too old to sit on Santa's lap (tear) and Carson was a little unsure about the big guy.

It's a Pirates Life for Me!

2008-12-04T10:03:00.001-07:00

St. George City just opened up a really cool restruant called Pirate Island. After the Murder Mystery party we recieved a gift certificate for guessing the right murderer. My family went with our good friends Billy and Bobbi Kirschner and their boys. The restraunt is kind of like the Myan, but Pirate theme instead. It's a sit down restraunt with a kid play area and a big arcade area as well. It is a perfect restraunt for families. We already went there twice last week, and we can't wait to go again.

A'hoy Mateys!!

2008-12-02T22:34:00.001-07:00

Scott and I just went to the second annual Muder Mystery Night. Our good friends of ours had hosted the Mystery night, and they always do a great job. This years theme was the Pirate theme. We recieved our invitations on who our character was and who our enemies are, through out the party we recieve clues on who the murderer is. I can't remember my character's name, but I was a Pirate's Widow, I was suppose to be in mourning. My job for the night was to find out who was behind the murder of my husband. There were about 40 people who showed up and everyone were dressed up. The first two pictures are of some friends of ours who always do a great job with their parts. The next two pictures are of us standing around because someone just died and we were listening to why they just got murdered, and what the clues are. The last picuture of of my brother in law Doug, Sister in law Hazel, Scott and myself. The food was excellent, and we are already looking forward to next years Murder Mystery Party.

I am Thankful for my family...

2008-11-25T21:10:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to blog what I am Thankful for before I get to busy. We are having a fun Thanksgiving at my house with about 18 people...so I am trying to repaint the house, get the kitchen ready and the food prepared. Then on Friday Emily and her family are coming. I am so excited.

I am Thankful for my family. My children are the most sweetest, fun loving kind hearted children ever. Of course they have their ups and downs, but we always have fun together. I am also Thankful for my husband. I am so glad he has the preisthood, and I think because of that we feel the spirit in our home. He is always the one putting me on the straight and narrow path. The first picture is of the family when we go out to eat late at night. Yep that is what we look like all the time. Carson is always crying, Sean and Carly are always making some kind of weird faces at me when I talk, and Scott...well I don't know what he is doing. The second picture is of my wonderful husband. And finally the last picture has been on my mind for the last couple of days. I still remember how perfect the day was. It was Christmas Eve and Carson was only two days old. My family and Scott 's family were all (well some of Scott's family) there. My parents were even talking nicely to each other. haha...the best part is we had Santa Claus come and had a suprise visit with the kids. He even brought a big red bag full of presents for the kids, Scott and I. (From Scott's old work, they spoiled us.) You can see how excited Sean was.

Blogging Blah Blah Blah

2008-11-20T10:48:00.000-07:00

Well, I have been meaning to put my blog on private, but then I saw how much work it is and I don't understand how to put everyone on private..I am slow. I figured when Emily comes down and have a sleep over with me she can show me how to do it. Yay only one more week. In the mean time I guess I will have creepy comments. haha. Nothing too exciting has been happening at all. Halloween was fun, but Carson refused to dress up and went as a HomoSapien for Halloween. Sean insisted that he was a guy from a video game (I have no clue) and Carly was an Army diva. I didn't get many pictures because it seems like the day went by way to fast. All in all business is going well, my office is now in my living room. The people we were going to buy the business from vanished, and I guess they didn't want all of their debts paid off. The only exciting thing that is going on is that we are in a construction nightmare in our neighborhood. They have decided to redo all of the water pipes..(which is good because in the summer time the water tasted like dirt.) On top of that my house was the lucky one chosen to have an ugly fire hydrant in my front yard. The first couple pictures are of Sean, Carly and Carson on Halloween. Scott and I are totally lame parents and we went out to dinner instead of cooking dinner on Halloween. The first picture is of Carson at the parade in his "Halloween Costume..we just wasted 20.00 on a Spiderman Costume. The second one was Sean and Carly at Pancho's and Lefty's (our favorite restruant ever), in their halloween costume. Hopefully I will remember to take lots of pictures on Thanksgiving. We get to have all of the festivities at my house this year... Sorry I am in a really crappy mood....

Profile on Private

2008-11-10T20:26:00.001-07:00

Unfortuantely I am going to have to put my profile on private as well. I wasn't going to, but I just got a really wierd comment from someone I don't know, and it was creepy. I guess that is my sign that I will have to go private. Please who ever wants to have an invite please let me know so I can invite you to my blog.

Carly's Baptized!!

2008-10-22T16:17:00.000-06:00

Carly is officially baptized!! She turned 8 April 14, and was suppose to be baptized in May. Unfortunately we live four hours away from our families, so it was hard getting everyone together. We finally decided that Carly and her cousin Nathan should get baptized together. Last weekend we went up to Salt Lake, and on Saturday Carly offically became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ in Bountiful Utah. Carly and Nate were the only ones baptized out of their whole stake, so we got to do our own intimate program. My sister-in-law Meredith and myself were able to do a spotlight on our guest of honors. Afterwards my other sister-in-law Jody and Meredith's sister did a talk on Baptism and the Holy Ghost. All of the cousins went up and sang the Baptism song, and I thought it was so cute watching a bunch of 11 year boys mumble the song. After the program Carly and Nate both got baptized and then confirmed. The blessings were beautiful, and we could really feel the spirit there. After the baptism we went back to Derek's and Meredith's house for really yummy food, and of course what is a family get together with out Karoke? Scott and I has the best family in the world! We are so lucky that everyone took the time to come out and spend Carly's special day with her.

The Happiest Place on Earth

2008-10-05T21:09:00.000-06:00

We have just returned from the Happiest Place on Earth last week. Scott and I decided at the last minute we would surprise the kids with a quick trip to Disneyland. We found a hotel right across the street from the park. We left our house at two in the morning (only because we are way too cheap to spend the extra money for a night in the hotel), and arrived at Disneyland at 8:00 in the morning. We had enough time to get dressed in the van, and had breakfast at Denny's. I now know what it is like to be homeless because Carly and I had to finish getting ready in the Denny's bathroom. We arrived at the park at 9:30 and went right in to the park. We only waited 15 minutes for each ride and had a blast. We went to Disneyland and California Adventures Thursday and Friday. Then Saturday we met my beautiful sister-in-law and awesome brother-in-law at Seal Beach. We did some shopping and ate lunch then we all went and played at the beach. My brother-in-law Brian taught my kids how to boogie board and they did great! After a few hours of playing we said goodbye to Jen and Brian, and took the scenic route to San Diego where my other wonderful Brother-in-law and sister-in-law lives. We arrived at their house in time for dinner and went to Chuck-E-Cheeses. The next day we toured San Diego and rode a train and ate at the Burger Factory. Afterwards we went back to their condo and went swimming. When the kids were tired of swimming we cleaned up and went to dinner at Chipote's. Then we took a nice long relaxing walk on the Pacific Beach. The next day we went home and back to work. We all had a great time, and can't wait to go back again soon..I hope.

Boy Scout Camp

2008-09-13T11:43:00.000-06:00

Last night Sean went on his first outing to BOYSCOUT camp. It was so much fun getting him ready and packed for his first overnight with a bunch of boys. It reminded me of my mom getting me ready for girls camp. All of the shopping and preparing. He came home and said he had a lot of fun. He went canoeing, fishing, swimming and of course stayed up late around the camp fire. I am glad he had a chance to go and play.

I put in a few other pictures of our last few weeks in as well. The first picture is of Carson crying because he wanted to watch Spider Man. The second picture is Sean coming home from Boy Scout camp. The third picture is we finally went to his last pack meeting so he can receive his Webloes and go on to Boy Scouts. On the fourth picture I went downstairs to check on Carson and this how I found him, fast asleep with his hand in a bag of chips. The next picture is of Sean and Carson falling alseep together watching T.V. The last picture is of the three kids getting ready go to to Chuck-E-Cheeses at my parents house. That is what has been going on in our house during the last few weeks. Nothing to exciting, but a lot of fun.

Breaking Dawn

2008-09-01T11:34:00.000-06:00

I finally finished Breaking Dawn after one long month. I did not like it at all. I thought it was the lamest book ever!! I think I was expecting Bella having an affair on Edward, and Edward finding out. Actually the book would have been better if the baby was Jacobs, but I thought there was no action, no drama, NOTHING!! In fact, after the Volturi scene and everybody "walks away" I refuse to finish the end. I also thought the part of Jacob's "imprintment" on Renesmee (hate the name by the way) was gross. (Actually that was the only interesting part in the book). The sex scenes were very disturbing, and I wish I could get the images out of my head. I also thought there was way to much talking and not enough action. I mean how many times do they all have to go hunt? It seems like that was most of the book. I wish I could take back the three hours of my life when I stood in line for this lame book. If any of you have a different opinion please share.

Sean's Birthday

2008-08-21T10:17:00.000-06:00

I am still playing catch up all in a day. Sean turned 11 in July! I can't believe how fast time has gone. He is now in 6th grade and in middle school. I still remember when I had him and how little he was, now he is almost bigger than me. We took Sean and his friends to Laser Mania with two hours of unlimited Lazer Tag, Lazer Golf and arcade games. The last picture shows Sean's birthday invitations that he sent out to his friends. As EVERYONE knows I am not creative at all. So, thanks to my mom and Michelle being at my house when we were making the invites it was their idea. We wrapped up king size hershey's chocolate bars in paper and tied ribbon around it with a note. I was very proud of myself that I didn't screw up on the invites. The last picture is Carly and my very cute niece Leerah. I just wanted to show her off.

P.S. Don't pay attention to my messy counter in the background. We were in a middle of a barbque.

Lagoon

2008-08-21T09:31:00.002-06:00

I can't believe summer is over already, it seems like it had just begun. School started last week, unfortunately when I was trying to take a picture my battery died on me. I will have to take pictures of the kids and call it their first day of school. They'll never know right?

So now I get to play catch up with the rest of my summer. In June we took the kids to Lagoon, and we went with our really good friends Billy and Bobbi Kirschner and their three children. They have never been to Salt Lake before, so we took them to Lagoon, Seven Peaks and the Mayan. I am still exhausted from that trip. We had a lot of fun, and can't wait to go to Salt Lake with them again. I am still trying to figure out how to put the pictures where I want them.

Memories

2008-07-23T12:40:00.000-06:00

It seems like everyone is posting this post. Since I had a fun time going down memory lane it's your turn.

Here are the directions:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

You're it!

2008-07-12T23:20:00.000-06:00

The Zoo

The last couple of weeks has been a whril wind of traveling and celebrating the fourth of July. While we were in Salt Lake we took Carson to the zoo for the first time. He loved it!! He has been into monkeys and trains, so when we went to the zoo he was so excited. We were able to go with my sister Michelle, my two nephews and my mom. I am so grateful that my mom was able to come. We have been through so much within this last year. I am so thankful that Heavenly Father answers our prayers. I know that he has been answering my begging and pleading that my mom would get well, and because of him my mother has been more happier then I have seen her in a long time. On a brighter note....here are some pictures of the zoo.

Exciting Week

2008-06-18T23:22:00.000-06:00

This week has been an exciting and a tear jerking one so far, and it is only Wednesday. Both of my boys are growing up, and begining to explore the world on their own.

Yesterday I get a phone call at work from Sean with him telling me that Carson went potty. Sean is the only person that Carson will go potty for. I have mixed feelings because I know Carson is my last baby and I won't be changing anymore diapers EVER!!! WOOHOO!!! Then again Carson is my last baby, and I won't be changing anymore diapers ever. Also, my 10 year old son is potty training him. I haven't figured if it is a good thing or a bad thing, but it is working for everyone in this household.

Today I sent Sean away to Salt Lake City on an airplane all by himself. He is going to be spending the week with Scott's parents (Papa and Nana), and three of his cousins that are his age. They all have the weekend planned with going to Indiana Bones at the Desert Star theater. I was kind of having anxiety with having Sean away from me for almost a week, but Scott told me to suck it up. So sucking it up it is. He called me this evening to let me know that he got to Salt Lake safe and sound, then he asked to talk to Carson. He didn't want to talk to anyone but his little brother. I love the way they adore each other.

Carly has also been a huge help. Her favorite thing to do this summer is going to the pool. I love Washington City because everytime we go swimming Carly always finds a friend to swim and play on the waterslide with, and I am able to keep a better eye on Carson. She is looking forward to going to Salt Lake next week with one of her best friends Wyatt. We are going to be going to Lagoon, Raging Waters and the zoo. I think we are all counting down the days when we arrive on our mini vacation.

I wish I had pictures for this post, but I always forget to bring my camera. Next time I will do better. I am still trying to figure out how to change the layout on my blog as well. I am sure I will get to it eventually.

Here in Washington, Utah they just built the biggest rec center in Utah. I am so stoked because it is walking distance from my house. I will let the pictures describe how much fun this place is. It is the biggest aquatic center in Utah!! I love how Sean and Carly can go swimming or climb the climbing rock or play basketball and I know they are safe. If you ever come to Saint George I highly recommend playing here, and the best part is you will probably see me!!!

I have came to realize that I really need to make more time for blogging. The weather has been awesome here in Saint George, and we have been taking advantage of the great weather. After living here for 9 years I love the 100 degree weather, and there are times when I wonder how I survived walking back and forth to Indian Hills middle school in the cold snow. Finally, school is out and 100 degree weather is here!!!

Sean just graduated from elementary school!!! Here in Saint George sixth grade is considered middle school. He now will be taking a bus to the biggest school I have ever seen, and he will be having seven teachers. He decided that he is going to take orchestra and playing the cello. I can't believe my baby is growing up. Sean is almost taller than I am and his feet are bigger then mine. Last weekend we were in Arby's and I mentioned it was cold in there and Sean gave me his sweatshirt. I guess wearing a Ryan Schekler sweatshirt in the middle of summer is the IN thing now. I dont get it, but it helped me out and we wear the same sweat shirt size.

We're Back!

2008-04-27T01:56:00.000-06:00

We're back!! Everyone who knows me I am the biggest procrastinator in the world. Right now I am suppose to be studying for finals, but I decided that I needed to catch up on my blogging at two in the morning. I am still trying to get use to figuring out how to blog. I am a very slow learner.

On a brighter note, we have been very busy. The kids has been doing great with soccer, and our saturdays have been juggling two different soccer games. I have come to the conclusion that I am ONE of thoes moms!! I am the mother who yells at the refs for making a bad call, getting mad at the coaches for taking my child out of the game and getting frustrated at my child for letting the ball roll right pass them. (Of course me yelling at the ref is very quietly so that no one can hear me.)

Carson is so much fun now. We are slowly getting away from the baby talk and we can have a normal conversation. No more of him screaming because I don't understand what he wants. His favorite words are Mommy I want juice, mommy I want cocoa, mommy I want to go outside, mommy , mommy, mommy sometimes the word mommy really gets on my nerves. Other than that we have so much fun playing together. I feel like I am the luckiest mom ever. I have been able to spend quality alone time with each of my children before they start school. I guess Scott and I have the perfect timing.

I did it! After months of procratinating I am finally starting a family blog! After seeing everyone elses crazy adventures, it is time for everyone to peek into our lives. We are living in Washington Utah (right next door to Saint George). Sean is 10, Carly is 7 and Carson is 2. I am having so much fun with my children. I can't even think how my life was without them. Scott is my wonderful husband. He is the funniest, kindest, smartest guy I know. He is a great provider and a awesome father, and I feel very blessed that I am married to him.
