Getting revenge already

Brady was in the pantry looking for food and apparently Paislee was trying to stand up in front of the pantry so she had Brady locked in. He could have pushed it and knocked her over and gotten out. But me being the crazy blogger I said wait just a minute let me get my camera:) I seriously have a blogging problem. On a another funny note. Krissa had her little friend Bridger over yesterday and they were talking about dinosaurs and how they are extinct. Krissa said "when people die they are extinct" Then she said "my grandpa ace is extinct huh mom." I said well yes I guess so in between my laughter.

4-Wheeling

We drove up slaughterhouse canyon this weekend. Me in the ranger with paislee and krissa. Brady on his 4-wheeler and Brian on his. With of course the dogs in tow. As you can see in the first picture I have 3 dogs in the ranger with me. Then in the second picture. Penny is on the 4-wheeler with Brian. How does that happen you ask. Well apparently as I was driving up a hill Penny fell out and I didn't notice. Thank goodness Brian was behind me to pick her up. Of course he had to make me feel bad and say she was limping and everything. But he admitted later that she was fine. Krissa asked Brian if his dog Mowgli pushed penny out:)

Brian doing some stunts on Brady's 4-wheeler:)

Paislee had so much fun she couldn't stay awake:)

Lets go fly a kite, up to the highest height!

We finally pulled out the kites the kids got for Easter and we had a blast flying them. Paislee had a blast just watching from the blanket, because the she didnt like the feel of the grass.

Tentacles!

Ok so I was in albertsons today waiting to buy a pound of hamburger at the meat counter . When I heard the lady in front of us asking about the octopus when she said and I quote "Can you buy just one testicle or do you have to buy the whole octopus?" The lady at the counter just looked at her and said "Sure you can just buy one tentacle." Of course Brian in true Brian fashion whispered to me "No they only come in pairs." If it would have been me I would have cracked up because I was cracking up behind her back. The lady never even batted an eye at calling a tentacle by its wrong name and just went her merry way. Leaving Brian and I laughing as she walked away.

Webb nursery

We went to webb nursery today to look at bushes and trees and I just thought this was such a cute picture of the kids being pulled on a make shift wagon.

Flash Black Friday

My Sister, My Friend. I thought I would put on some pictures of me and my sissy when we were kids today. We might have fought a lot when we were teenagers (well she fought and I laid there and took the beating) just kidding (kind of)! But we are the best of friends now and I don't know what I would do if I couldn't call her sometimes 3 times a day to talk about nothing. Love ya Tiffy. If you go to my music at the bottom and click on Reba Mcentire "my sister, my friend" while you watch the slide show it makes it a little better :)

Go Around!!

Paislee doesn't seem to get that if she would just go to the left or right of the chairs she could crawl right through. For some reason she gets in between these chairs and starts yelling because she can't fit through them.

Oh my gosh Im so excited for this movie!

You have to go to this link and watch the introduction to the twilight characters and scenes from the set. It got me so excited for the movie.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD6DFloIXyE

Spring Sing

Brady practicing for his spring sing. Make sure you go to the bottom and pause my music. Other wise he is very hard to hear:) I love how he says "the rain falls slowly to and for" instead of to and fro.

Krissa rides a two wheeler.

I was so proud krissa finally rode her bike on two wheels. As she was riding we heard her say. "I can't believe I didn't do this yesterday"

Smore's

Since we bought a new patio set with a fire pit today we thought we would pull out the stuff for smores. I have to say it got me excited for summer and camping.

Boxing with friends

Colton and Brady were playing the Wii yesterday and I just thought it was too cute to not share!

Flash Back Friday

These are some pictures of us at the sand dunes when we were dating. And us in Vegas visiting my best friend Ralaina when her now 8 year old was just a baby. Time flies when your having fun!

I need size 11 shoes!

I told Brady to get his school shoes on this morning and he kept refusing to wear them and wanted to wear different shoes. After awhile I finally stopped and asked him why. He said I need to find shoes that are size 11 because colton has size 11 and I want to be the same. My shoes are only 8 and his are 11. I tried to tell him that his feet weren't size 11 therefore he doesn't have size 11 shoes. But he kept digging in his closet. We did end up finding some hand me downs that were size 10 and he was OK with that. But he still asked if we could go to the store before school and buy some size 11. (Like we even have a shoe store in this town.) I said no and he said well when you get home put size 11 shoes on your grocery list. He is too funny.

9,10 wait 11 month check?

So I was a little late getting Paislee in for her 9 month well child check because I was looking for a new pediatrician (thanks to Kristin I found one I love). So Paislee weighs 22 lbs 11 ounces and is 29 inches tall. That means she weighs the same as Brady did when he was a year and is a inch taller than him at a year. It also means that she is 4 lbs heavier than Krissa was at a year. Lets just say she has quite the thunder thighs. I was pretty proud of her because she had the hemoglobin test where they prick her finger and she just looked at them. Didn't even cry. They gave her a shot and she just cried for half a second and was done. I had to laugh at myself because Paislee was chewing on a pen and choked a little and I didn't even react. The nurse was in the next room and came running and said is she ok. I was like oh she just choked on a pen. The nurse said "oh you can tell you are a third time mom" and then she just walked away laughing.

Happy Birthday Grandpa Shawn!!

Today is Brian's dads birthday. Shawn is such a great guy and a wonderful dad and grandpa. I truly believe without this guy Brian would not be the great man he is today. So happy birthday Shawn we wish we could be there to celebrate. Have a great day!

Getting organized

I found this web site http://orgjunkie.com/ the organizing junkie and it has tips to organize every part of your home. It updates once in awhile and also has a tab that says get organized for tips around the house. Brian says I have a problem with to much organizing but I do seriously love to do it. That may be why Krissa and I are often fighting over who gets to organize the cupboard (mostly because I want it done a certain way). Maybe I am creating a little minnie me monster but I guess there could be worse things I could teach her:)

Remember when?

Remember when I looked like this? Some of you never saw me like this but I just think its crazy what can happen to you in a year. And yes I didn't include a picture of my head or legs on purpose. They were not at there best during this time:)

Finally Brady can ride without training wheels.

Brady and Krissa were riding around today and I convinced krissa to let Brian take her training wheels off just long enough to have him run down the street with her 4 times and then she could put them back on if she wanted. If she did this I would take her to bunny burger for ice cream. She did and I was so proud of her she did it all without crying. But the minute the 4 times were up she asked for them to be put back. They are up off the ground now (as you can see in the picture to the left) and she will ride it while it wobbles. We just have to take baby steps with her:) Brady on the other hand asked for his to come all the way off today so we did and it was only 5 minutes later he was riding around free of training wheels and even starting off on his own. My kids are getting big way to fast!

Paislee's cage

This is where Paislee got to be while we were doing yard work and teaching the kids to ride bikes. She was happy as long as there were crackers scattered in there along with her toys!

New bikes.

Brian and I bought ourselves new cruisers and a little bike seat for paislee this weekend. Brian's is actually called the moon dog or moon doggy like I like to call it. We tried to ride all the way to snow bunny to get ice cream but we only made it about half way and had to turn around. Brian kept asking the kids if daddy looked like a dork on his cruiser but I thought he looked great.

Sleep walking

I don't know about everyone else but I have 3 out of 5 of the people in our house who walk in their sleep. (Which I find really creepy)Last night I went to check on the kids before going to bed and I found Krissa's mattress almost off the box springs with all her blankets torn off and laying on the ground. Of course she was in the bed sleeping soundly. I moved everything back and began thinking of all the other sleep walking experiences we have had in this house. Lets see Brady and Krissa were sleeping together one night and Krissa woke up just before Brady peed on her head. Yep your right he was asleep. Brian has gone downstairs into the laundry room many times and turned on the light and then realized he was asleep. Not to mention the many times he talks to his employees in his sleep. (Sometimes yelling at them). Needless to say I told Krissa this morning about her bed and she told me she was dreaming that she tore her room and Brady's to shreds. So I guess we are lucky she just worked on her bed. I then told her that I didn't want to hear her cry next time I ask her to make her bed and I didn't want to here it was to hard to move away from the wall. Because I know now she can do it. I mean for heaven's sake she did it in her sleep:)

Give me Luvs

Paislee's new trick is to lay her head on your chest and go awwww if you ask her for luvs. It is just to cute!

Flash Back Friday

These are just a collection of pictures of the kids when they were little.

I love the quote on this one. We tend to think Krissa is a little bossy. But I personally think she is a great leader.

And this one is just funny. Because Krissa really is trying to shut Brady in the hamper, and on the last one I walked in to the kids in a pile of q-tips they were "partners in crime" even when Brady could barely crawl. There were q-tips in the vent all over in the room and of course one in Brady's mouth:)

Finally the bike trail is free of snow!

The majority of the bike trail is free of snow so we decided to go for a little family walk/bike ride. Brady learned to ride his bike without training wheels last year but was still a little scared so Brian bent the train wheels as high as they will go and now they only touch if he is falling. Of course Krissa still has her training wheels planted firmly on the ground with her hands at 10 and 2 going two miles an hour.

Brian running with his dog mowgli.
