2010-10-29T10:01:00.000-07:00

I made this rag quilt for her!!

She got a lot of cute and fun stuff. It turned out really nice!!

Aunt Jamie!!

2010-09-28T14:06:00.000-07:00

My kids love Jamie they played at her house a few times and kept wanting to go back. She would make jewelery and paint their nails and they loved every second of it!! Thanks for the break Jame! Love ya!

My sister Jamie was playing Ring-around-the-Rosies with my kids and they had so much fun they just kept laughing and laughing. It was so cute!!

Silly Kids!!

Lyndee's Blessing!

2010-09-05T15:27:00.000-07:00

Heath gave Lyndee her blessing. He is so proud to be a father to his children. Love you Heath!

My friend Rachel Brady made Lyndee's beautiful blessing dress. It fit her like a glove, it was amazing!! Thanks Rach! And thanks mom for making her blessing blanket!! I love it!!

My beautiful Family. I cant believe we have 4 kids now. They are all getting so big

4 Generations

Lyndee and her Great-grandma Ferguson.

Grandma and Grandpa Ferguson made it out thanks to Debbie. They drove 2 1/2 hrs to get here. It was so nice to see them.

Happy Birthday Anders!!

2010-09-03T15:11:00.000-07:00

I made my little brother a b-day cake so we could celebrate his birthday with the fam!

My family came up for the blessing so we just hung out for a couple of days and got ready for it!!

My dad is holding my baby. This is such a sweet thing for me to see!!

Home Improvement Project!!

2010-08-20T12:52:00.000-07:00

I know it looks like a junk yard. I tell Heath all the time... so finally we decided to pour Cement!!! Yeah!!

This is the before!!

Heath leveled 10x45 ft with a shovel. It only took him about 2 full days working on it. Hes such a hard worker. Thats why I love my man!! Thanks to my in-laws for their help. I was sick and just had Lyndee so I couldn't do much.

This is the after picture! We will have to do the next10 feet next year, but man what an improvement!! Thanks babe!!

Lyndee 2 weeks old

2010-08-08T09:37:00.000-07:00

Lyndee is such a good baby. She slept for 10 hrs last night! She loves her bath. She weighed 7 lbs. 14 oz. and was 19.5 inches long at her 2 week check up.

Lyndee Mae is Here!!... finally

2010-07-31T13:57:00.000-07:00

Lyndee Mae Bell arrived on July 25th 2010 at 1:08 in the morning. Weighing 7 lbs 7 oz and measuring 19 inches long.

Yee-Haw!!

2010-07-04T14:21:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I'm pretty sure every person has at least one of these pictures. This totally reminds me of pictures of us when we were little. These kids love to ride on daddy's back every night to go to bed. I think Heath enjoys it as much as they do!

Our Latest Project!!

2010-06-21T09:26:00.000-07:00

So we had a Yard Sale and sold a lot of stuff including out entertainment center. We were living in chaos without it. I didn't have any where to put my diapers or movies or anything. We had our t.v. on a little end table and every thing stacked by it. I was going crazy!! My friend gave me the idea to build one and sent me to knock-offwood.com

So I drew up a picture of what a wanted and showed it to Heath and said this is what I want. He said, "I'm not a carpenter!" But he would do anything for me so we went to Lowes (yes, we have one out here) and started figuring out what we needed for it and got to work. I was so excited!!

It's not perfect but we made it and it we love it. Heath found out that maybe he is a carpenter!! Thanks Heath! I love it!!

This is what we ended up with which would have cause us at least $700 if we would have bought it at Pottery Barn or RC Willey and we spent about $200.

Big Helper!

2010-06-10T17:43:00.000-07:00

I asked Kylee to get the laundry out of the dryer and then a while later she came in the kitchen where I was cleaning and asked if she could take a picture. So I said sure.

Then I got curious to see what she was taking pictures so I went in the family room and this is what I found.

How sweet of here to fold all the towels without being asked. What a big helper!!

Kort Potty Training!!... again

2010-06-06T11:49:00.000-07:00

Kortnee decided that she wanted to go potty in the toilet herself this time. I have been potty training her for about 5 days now. She is doing pretty good but I think I've had enough. I'm sick of it and I just want to be done with it. Luckily, Heath has the the next two days off so maybe he can take over for a little while. I am glad she has decided she wants to be a "BIG GIRL" now.

Relay for Life

2010-06-04T17:30:00.000-07:00

All American Tumbling and Dance was asked to dance at the Relay for Life event.

They did so good, everyone thought they were so cute!! They danced to Put a Ring on it by Beyonce

Ky was so happy she could be there to dance!!

Memorial Day!!

2010-05-31T17:11:00.000-07:00

We visited Heaths little brothers grave, and a few more in the family.

Jearam Dean Bell

The kids helped grandma put the flowers on the grave and decorate it.

Jeram is Heaths little brother. He was 15 months younger than him and they were best friends for almost 4 years. Jeram passed when he was a month shy of 4 years old of cancer in his stomach.

Heath had to work today so we went for him. We had a weenie roast later that day!

Being Brave!

2010-05-31T14:11:00.000-07:00

The kids talked me into letting them paint, I guess I'm too up tight to just let loose and let them make a mess. Kortnee got these color wonder paints so they only color on that paper so they weren't too messy.

We only had one paint brush so Kylee and Kaleb had to take turns painting on there paper. They shared good and had a fun time. I need to RELAX and let them do it more often.

Kylees Dance Recital

2010-05-29T12:49:00.000-07:00

Kylee and Maylee

Kylee loves to dance, she was so excited to have her recital and dance her little heart out.

Kylee did such a good job. I'm so proud of her.

She is so sad that we have decided to take the summer off.

At the end they were doing cartwheel and Kylee did hers and her back was towards the audience and she picked her wedgie, the crowd roared with laughter (at least where I was sitting). It's funny how kids have no shame. I love it.

After their dance they came to say hi Kylee was so proud of herself. She so dang cute!!

2010-05-24T16:02:00.000-07:00

This our lovely fire pit we decided to make because we are obsessed with making a fire and roasting marshmallows, so instead of going to Remember the Maine Park and loading everything and everyone up and driving there we decided this would much more convenient.

Our yard or yards I should say, are fenced in 100%! The kids cant escape. We got our gates up and the neighbors got theirs up so now we just have to do down the middle but our kids our confined to both our yards!!

Heath has been working so hard but I think he likes being able to do things outside again now that schools out for the summer. I'm so proud of him. He pass all his classes with a C or better!! Good Job Heath!!

Pregnancy!

2010-05-24T15:54:00.000-07:00

Ok so this is really about 5 weeks ago. Ive never documented my pregnancies so I'm not that good at this.

Im 27 wks 3 days in this pic! good bye 2nd trimester!! I have gained about 20 lbs. Its hard to watch the scales go up and up especially when I have been working out every single day! I'm enjoying being pregnant but I'm much more excited to have the baby here!!

Kylee Quit Sucking Her Thumb!!

2010-05-24T15:44:00.000-07:00

So she says, but we believed her so she got her first bike!!

She has been waiting a long time for this and so excited to pick out her bike and helmet!!

Kort was excited now she got to call the trike hers! Kaleb was just as excited because now he doesn't have to share and now he has someone to ride with!

I can't believe how big she is getting!

Tying the knot at age 4?!

2010-05-24T15:25:00.000-07:00

I DID IT!!! MOM, I TIED MY SHOE!!

Kylee was so excited she was almost crying it was so cute she was so proud that she tied her shoe all by herself!!

Yeah! A Fence!

2010-05-13T14:36:00.000-07:00

I really cant even say how excited I am to be building a fence. I thought it would never happen. We decided to go with wood considering it is waaayyy cheaper and we like how it looks. It took a few hours to dig the holes for the all the posts and we did ours and the neighbors.

It took a good full day to set the post.

and then all the sudden we had a fence well on one side, it took me and Heaht about 1 hr to put all the boards up.

Our beautiful cedar fence!!

Happy Birthday Kortnee!!

2010-05-13T13:52:00.000-07:00

The Birthday Girl!!

Kortnees 2!!

All the cousins that came to the party

Kort tried and tried to blow the candles out. It took her about 5 or so min but she finally got it.

Kort loves her new dresses she got from Gramma Jones she had to try them on and spin in them!

This is Kortnees new haircut I cut away at it about 3 times to finally get it how I wanted

Kortnees is getting so big! I cant believe she is already 2. She is talking really well and acts like one of the big kids. It's good I'm having another baby cause Korts not a baby any more.

Easter!!

2010-05-12T14:35:00.000-07:00

The kids found there Easter baskets

They we all so excited for their little present from the easter bunny!

Kortnees favorite part was definitely the Chocolate!!

This is what I found when I got up. Kylee had brought Korts basket to her and she was just laying there like a queen. I though it was so funny!

We went to Gramma Bells and had lunch and then watched the rest of General Conference over there.

The kids in their Easter dresses the week before for church.

The kids loved coloring eggs!!

We went to mountain for easter weekend and the kids had fun getting a ride on Gabes four wheeler!

I think Heath had the most fun though!!

We also went to this big hill and rolled eggs down the hill and had egg races.

Bring on the Pink!!

2010-05-12T14:16:00.000-07:00

We went to my first Dr. appt with the new doc and he said I could get my ultrasound so I begged the girl doing them to fit me in. I guess we had been hoping it was a boy but deep down I knew it was a girl cause I had been buying girl things. Anyway these are the pics of the baby girl. The pics are not that great and there wasn't even a profile shot, but thats what I get for begging for my ultrasound!

20 Weeks along! I have gained 10 lbs.

her cute little tostys in 3D.

We are so excited to get another girl even though I do feel a little bad for Kaleb to not get a brother but I guess theres always next time, right?!

What we've been up to!

2010-05-12T13:46:00.000-07:00

My parents gave us a wheat grinder for Christmas so we have been making alot of whole wheat bread and cinimon rolls! yumm

Kaleb turned 3!! He is totally into Cars right now and he loved his Cars cake and all the cool Cars presents every one got him. His face was priceless when he was opening all the presents!

Valentines Day!!

Grandma Jones sent us a package and Grandma Bell made us these very most delicious cookies in the whole wide world

Happy Birthday Heath!!

2010-02-14T14:19:00.000-08:00

Kaleb was singing Happy Birday to you!! It was the cutest thing I have ever seen/heard. Love that kid! It was so funny!

Heath is the big 28!! We had a little party for him and I made him this cake. It was a big hit! I have the best husband ever. He is such a good daddy and he provides for us works more that 40 hrs a week and is taking 10 credit hrs in school he is so busy and does it all. I love you Heath!!

Suggestions Please!!

2010-02-06T13:50:00.000-08:00

Day 2

So today we had 3 accidents by lunch, 1 poopy! yuck!! I am starting to get frustrates with it. Shoe doesn't say when she needs to go, I'm just taking her every 45 min or so. I'm not a very patient person and what little I do have is running out fast!! Any suggestions?!

Journal Entry: Potty Training Koko

2010-02-05T21:51:00.000-08:00

It's Kortnees turn. I caught her trying to poop at lunch so I said, "Lets go potty in the toiley!" She agreed so I then I asked her if she wanted to wear "Big Girl Panties" and she said, "yeeeaaaa!!" So I put panties on her and she went once before her nap. I put her down hoping to catch her right when she woke up but it didn't happen so she had accident #1 (1 & 2) Gave her a bath and she did really well but soon after we go to gramma Bells she got scared and had another accident after that she had 2 more accidents at grammas one at 7:55 and 8:20. O brother I thought so we headed home and she did good the rest of the night. I'm so excited, no more diapers!! She is 21 months and she talks really well. She says about 5 word sentences. She weighs 24 lbs and wears 24 month or 2T clothes. She is getting into the terrible 2 stage. Oh man I hope Kaleb is done with that soon.

Secrets Out!!

2010-01-08T08:19:00.000-08:00

Some of you might think I'm nuts but yep, I am 12 weeks pregnant. So, I suck at keeping my pregnancies a secret. I don't know why but I just can't. Its just so exciting to me, and I think I want people to know why I'm getting fat and not just think, "man, she is gaining weight, or she was doing so well and now look at her." Anyway I am happy to say I haven't gained any weight yet, thank heavens!! We'll see if I can keep it under control this time. I have been crazy tired and my body is already starting to hurt a bit, other than that I can't complain.

Go Me!!

2009-12-16T14:12:00.000-08:00

Ok so I know you probably don't need a reminder or maybe just dont want one but this is me before and me 82 lbs later. WOW!

Ok so I have to brag one more time before I get fat again. Over thanksgiving I got the flu and I was horrible but at the same time it was wonderful. I lost about 4 lbs over the holiday so I was ok with that. So I am proud to say that I finally weigh in the 130s!!!! I think I weighed that much in 8th grade and never again until now! I weigh about 30 lbs less than when I got married. I'm in shock!! Really, I cant believe it. I went from an XL kinda tight to a Small and it feels so so so good. I dont know if i should say this but I am so proud of myself!! Woohooo!!

Happy Birthday Kylee!!

2009-12-16T13:17:00.000-08:00

Kylee just turned 4!! We had a little Tinkerbell Party. A few friends came and they played some games. Kylee enjoyed every second of it. She just thinks she is so big. She really is such a big helper usually and she loves all the girly things like fingernail polish and lip gloss and dresses and the list goes on and on. We love every bit of her.

We did cupcakes for the friend party and then I did this Tinkerbell cake for the family party. Heath did the eyes and the lips and we were in a big hurry at the end so I'd say it turned out pretty good. Thanks to Amber for the tinfoil and some powdered sugar!!

Kylees loves loves to take pictures so we decided to get a fun kid friendly camera. It was perfect for her,(and the other kids.)

Heaths Grand Idea

2009-09-25T20:17:00.000-07:00

Heath decided to join the rest of the world and make a blog. It will be from both of us but hes the one that has done everything on it so far. I'm not sure I like it cause well if you visit it you will see why. Anyway you should check it out. Its about our weight loss journeys. Its www.weweresofat.blogspot.com Im a little embarrassed but oh well.

Week 2 in AZ

2009-09-25T14:02:00.000-07:00

WOW! This week has flown by I can't believe it. We had tons a fun! Saturday my dad offered to watch the kids while they were napping so we could get a few things done. We were only planning to be gone for about 3 hours or so. If you know my mom and me we cant only go shopping for 3 hrs. duh dad!! We left at about one and didnt get home until 9:00 pm haha. ooopps!! My dad, well let's just say I dont know if he will offer to watch them anymore. Haha. I got a new phone but the guy wouldnt sell it to me unless I got insurance on it. For those of you who dont know how bad I am with phones, I have used about 4 differant phones in the last year, and have to get a new camera. Ya, I suck.

Oh I went to WW and I was so excited I lost .6!! Thats good for being here. We are always going to lunch and have at least one or two treats a day. Well see how I do tomorrow!

Sunday the kids were so excited to go to church and they went to their classes so good.Kylee gets to lead the music in Primary on Sunday and I am going to sub for her teacher. After dinner I decided i would hold Anders down so my mom could squeeze his face and he didnt like very much so he kicked me on my back. I pretty much couldnt move after. I thought maybe he hurt my kidney so I went to the Dr. and he just told me it was a soft tissue injury and to RICE it. It sucks cause I havent been able to go to the gym. I now know, I NEED the gym! For my on sanity.

Kylee gave the FHE lesson on Monday night. She is so cute, she did her little talk she gave in church awhile back and then Kaleb had to do it too. It feels so good when they want to learn and do good instead of fight fight fight. Then my dad pulled out the old book he used to read poems from to me when I was little and read to us. I was so touching to see my dad have so much joy in being able to do that and the kids loving every minute of it, especially "Little Orphan Annie," that was my favorite growing up.

Im getting alot of scrapbooking done I have done 25 pgs or so. It nice to be here because I can just leave all my stuff out and when the kids are napping or playing nice I can just go in the other room and start where I left off. I definitely need a craft room.

We have been having tons of fun but the kids like to mess and we are missing daddy quite a bit now. The kids talk about him a few times a day. We love you daddy.

AZ, Week 1

2009-09-18T13:27:00.000-07:00

So I am in AZ staying with my mom for about 5 or 6 weeks. I've been here for about a week and we started off the week by swimming, shopping, and some scrapbooking. I dont have pictures to post because our camera got ruined when we went to lake a couple months ago.

Ryan (my brother) was here and he was obsessed with scorpions, we had about 6 of them in little containers, they were eating each other, it was rather discusting. He also took some really cool pictures of them with a black light. It makes them turn green and glow. It was pretty cool.

Kylee was showing ryan her purse and everything she had in it. He said, "I have a purse, do you want to see whats in my purse? I have lots of purses!!" Kylees thought he was being silly but when Ryan brought his "purse" in she was so interested. He started getting things out and telling Kylee, Kaleb and Kortnee all about his stuff. He pulled out the camera and started shooting. Kylee wanted to try so he helped her take a few pictures and then she went around taking pictures of everyone. We looked at them after and I must say she did a pretting good job with a few heads cut off. I thinks she will end up being our little photographer. Its was so funny to watch Kaleb try to take the pictures. It was a camera you have to look through the eye hole but Kaleb would put his nose on it and Ryan was getting flustered trying to show him. We were laughing so hard, he was so cute!

Kaleb hurt himself so I was loving him better and Kortnee grabbed a statue my mom had sitting there, I said oh no Kortnee and she threw it and well my mom has tile in most of her house and it broke, well shattered. Oops!!

Last night me and Jamie (my sister) went and played softball with the stake and we were first up to bat and she got on base and then it was my turn I had 2 strikes and 2 balls, I was getting nervous and the next pitch came and I wacked that ball clear out there and I got a HOMERUN! I was so proud. That was the only points our team got the whole game but we had a blast!

We went to Weight Watchers on Saturday and I had gained about 3 lbs. So I am working on losing that plus more while Im here. I got a free 7 day pass at 24 Hour Fitness last night, who knows what I will do after that.

Yellowstone!

2009-07-04T17:55:00.000-07:00

Ryan Ben Mom & Me

Me and my cute teddy bear of a dad. Love you dad!

If you can't tell I'm a little frazzled, the kids and I went to Yellowstone without Heath. It was hard without him but my mom was willing to help. Everyone was willing to help witch made it a lot easier.

My mom & me

These falls were amazing! We had a long 3 days of driving in Yellowstone! It was fun but I probably won't go back for a long while or at least wait until I don't have babies. While we were there Kaleb got sick and then Kylee got it and then a few days later Kortnee got it. I got sick about 2 weeks later as they were getting better so now I think its taking another round. O Brother. oh well.

yea me!!

2009-06-29T12:34:00.000-07:00

I finally did it! I reached my WW goal. I am proud to say that it has taken me 8 months and I have lost 56.6 lbs with weight watchers. I have lost 71.6 total. I have also converted two of my siblings to Weight Watchers well three if you count my brothers wife. I am so excited to for them to start their weight loss journey. It is amazing what 70 lbs. can do to a person. I literally feel like a new Woman and a better mom and a way better wife. I am so much more willing to get my butt out of the chair or couch or out of bed to help my kids or play with them or make dinner or clean the house or whatever. The list could really go on forever. Maybe Ill keep going for a sec, I can run a mile well at least 2 without stopping, I can tie my shoe without being out of breath and I feel like I could talk to whoever and when ever. Don't get me wrong I will still get nervous in front of a big crowd so I haven't changed that much but I am way more confident.
Well I got brave and decided to post my before and after picture. Thanks to Rebekah who put the pressure on.
Now brace yourself, don't laugh either! These are BEFORE pictures and my baby was a good two months or more so no it's NOT because I JUST had a baby. No excuses, please.

Ok, so you can laugh, Heath and I about died laughing at these pictures. Heath says he doesn't remember me like this. So I'm sure he has just blocked these images, poor guy had to look at this every day and night. I'm surprised he can still see! I just can't believe I was this big! Yikes!!

These are the AFTER pictures. What a HUGE difference! Even if I do say so myself.
I went down 5 or 10 sizes however you want to look at it!

WOW!!

SuMmeR FuN!!

2009-06-06T18:23:00.000-07:00

Kylee was the most daring, she was soaking wet, she loved it!

Kortnee would scream every time the sprinkler would get her it was so funny to watch her so mad. She has such an attitude!!

Kaleb saying the sun is too bright!

We got this snake sprinkler thing. We set it up it the backyard it was fun for the kids, it just whips the water all over.

Kalebs a Big Boy Now!!

2009-05-31T13:37:00.000-07:00

I'm so excited!! Kaleb is potty trained finally! He's really only 2 yrs. and 3 mo. but when you've had two in diapers for 2 years it seems like forever. It was so easy too. I put him on the toilet and he was fussing but I just held him there and he finally went. He was so excited and he just wanted to wear his big boy undies. He has had a few accidents but not too many.
I have such a good boy. He's getting so big and loves his sisters. He is so funny and always is trying to make us laugh. I love him so much!!

What a Day!

2009-05-16T20:58:00.001-07:00

Kaleb had a trigger finger but it was his thumb. It wasn't able to go straight most of the time. We decided to get it fixed so he could use it better.

Waiting for the surgery. We had to be there at 8:00 and we were home by 10:00 so it wasn't to bad.

Kaleb waking up from the anesthesia. Poor kid all he wanted was the bandage off until he woke up all the way and then he was fine. What a good little boy.

We had been home for about 5 minutes when Kylee was trying to put a movie away standing on the kiddie chair. It flipped out from under her and she fell. She was complaining that her knee hurt and so I was holding her and when I set her down I saw her shirt was all bloody. So I thought O Great! I looked and looked all over her head and finally found the gash in her head. I headed to the Hospital but ended up at the Doctors office to get stitches. She only got 3 stitches so it wasn't to awfully bad. The rest of the day they were running around acting crazy (the norm).

My Baby is 1?!

2009-05-16T20:36:00.001-07:00

The Birthday Girl!

We had a yummy barbque with the family and friends.

We taught Kortnee how to blow out the candles but when it came time she froze. I made this little lady bug cake, what a fun project.

She did not want to put her hand in the cake but I helped her and made her tasted it. She would scream until I got it in her mouth and then she would like it. It was so funny to see her get so mad one second and then love it the next.

The next morning my Mom, Dad, Meredith, and Anders showed up from AZ. Benny boo and Julene came from ID. They surprised the heck out of me, I was in shocked and confused when I opened my front door and they were all standing there. It was so fun to have some company over the weekend, even if there was nothing to do.

Shake It!

2009-05-16T18:24:00.000-07:00

Kylee was so excited for her first Ballet class and the teacher didn't show up. Kylee and Maylee were so sad so Marcie (another teacher) offered to teach them a couple dances. Here is the one that we couldn't get enough of!

Funny Kids

2009-04-20T16:19:00.000-07:00

Just a quick peek.

The Birthday Boy is 2!! 2/24/07

He had been waiting to blow the candles out and finally he got to...

again and again and again! Heath kept relighting the candles. He'd rather blow out the candles than eat the cake!

He got to open lots of presents and loved them all!

He really loves Mickey Mouse right now.

This is Kalebs little freind Will. They love to play together.
Wow! I cant believe how fast the time has flown by. I can't believe he is already 2. Kaleb is such a funny little boy. He is alway trying to make us laugh. He is loves to run and play and hit. Pretty much he is all boy rough and tough and thinks he is so funny!! ha ha

What a day!

By the end she had a permasmile. What a stinker!

Our funny little Kaleb.

All in all I must say the pictures did turn out pretty good! Thanks Jess for taking them!

Kylees 3!!

2008-12-23T12:56:00.000-08:00

man i'm a slacker. Kylee had her 3rd Birthday nearly a month ago, December 5th. She loved her pink cake. We just had cake and ice cream at gramma Bells with all the cousins. She is getting so big and heres the proof. These are her 3 year old pictures. She absolutely loved getting them taken. I guess she has had lots of practice. She kept saying, I want to do another one! in between poses.

She is such a Sweetheart!

Thanksgiving Vacation

2008-12-13T14:27:00.000-08:00

It sure has been a while. We had a blast for Thanksgiving. Our Holiday started on the 17th. We left for Arizona, Monday morning bright and early. It was a very long trip, 12 1/2 hours to be exact. The kids slept for a while and did waaaayyyyyyy better than I thought they would be. Any way we arrived to Mesa at 6:30 and man that last half an hour is torture. We were so happy to get there. The next day we just rested and went to the park. After that I don't think we had another dull day. Our days were full of shopping at the huge malls and everywhere else. Heath could only handle a half day so most days he came with until after lunch and then went home (so the kids could nap) and dad would pick us up after work. I got most of my Christmas shopping done which was great cause there are very minimal places to shop in good old Vernal.

Friday Heath took me to San Diego for our anniversary without the kids. It was really hard for me to leave Kortnee she is only 7 months old and I have never given her a bottle so I didn't know if she would take one. I was a wreck until the first time she ate after we left. I took a pump which was awful and only made me miss Kortnee more. Anyway we went to Sea Port Village when we arrived. Later that night we went to the beautiful San Diego, Temple.

Oh my heck it is so amazing, that is definitely the prettiest temple I have ever seen. I'm a little sad that I wasn't sealed there, but we did get to do sealings.

The next day we went to Sea World, which was so fun we loved the dolphins and Shamu. The rides were really fun too.

The dolphins were my favorite. I got to feed them and pet them. It was so exciting!

We went back the next day and then went the Beach after. We gathered sea shells from the beach It is so beautiful, I am excited to take my kids there I know they would have so much fun. Anyway then we drove home for 6 hours, I was antsy the whole way, I couldn't wait to see my babies.
The next day we didn't waste any time, we were right back to the stores, Me and mom are troopers. Tuesday mom was sick with the flu thing, I guess Kaleb had it on Sunday while I was gone. Well, I knew someone had to have it on Thanksgiving and it wasn't going to be me. The rest of the crew got there Wednesday night so we went out to dinner. Of course, the next day being Thanksgiving I got to wake up with, Yes, the flu thing! Lucky me, I didn't eat any thing until Friday night. I had some soup, Oh well, I lost like 8 or 9 pounds.

That night we celebrated Kylees B-day and Kaleb was so excited to sing the "Happy to" song.

Then headed out to the Indoor Speedway (Go Karts). It was way fun. I think Heath came in second place.

When we got home me and Mere got the camera out and that made everyone act crazy.

We had to teach mom how to take skinny pictures. You can't really teach Ben anything! haha

Anniversary

2008-11-12T09:52:00.000-08:00

We got married in the Mt. Timpanogas Temple on the beautiful morning of November 12, 2004. Little did I know what I was getting myself into! haha! I'm totally just kidding. I love my husband with my whole heart. I couldn't ask for anyone better. He has given me the life I always wanted, we have 3 beautiful children and a good relationship with each other. One thing that we do that keeps 'US' happy is every week we go on a date without the kids, thanks to my mother-in-law who is always willing to watch the them. Thanks Susan. It is so nice to go out without the crying and craziness. I enjoy the time that I get to spend alone with Heath.

What a handsome man!

What a beautiful day, I can't believe it has been 4 years already.

Last night I was looking at these pictures and I told Heath " I can definitely see why you married me. haha" JK but man, do I wish I looked like that again. And I thought I was fat then.

Good times!

Great Memories!

I love this picture because Heath is looking at me like he just adores me and loves me so much. I can honestly say he still treats me like a Queen, the same as when we met, he always tries to do things to make me happy. I have had a few trials in the past few years and Heath has always been there to help me get threw them. I am so lucky and blessed to have a great husband like him.

Why Do I Even Try?

2008-11-11T12:13:00.000-08:00

I am wondering why I clean my house. I clean it and then 2 or maybe 3 seconds later its a disaster area again, its piontless I swear. Same with laundry, it never ends, I mean NEVER! I can get it all done (so i think) and the next day, no not even the next day that night, there is another huge pile. What do you do? There is always another mess to clean, food to cook, kids to bath, clothes to wash or fold, fights to stop, or a doctor to see, or bigger clothes to buy, or something. Its never ending, I swear I am going crazy! I need help!! AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Meet the Flinstones

2008-11-05T10:10:00.000-08:00

Heath and I dressed up as Betty and Barney Rubble. Kylee and Kortnee were Pebbles, and Kaleb was Bam Bam, which is perfect cause he loves to go around and hit things. Our freinds were Fred and Wilma Flinstone and their boys were the Dinosaurs. We went to the Halloween party at the church. We won the costume contest they had! We had so much fun!

This is the whole clan! I made all the costumes except the Dinosaurs and Wilma. It was a lot of work but it was definitely worth it. Don't we look cute?!

Me as Betty and my friend Rachel as Wilma

Halloween!

2008-11-05T08:32:00.000-08:00

We made Halloween cookies and man were they yummy!

Poor Kylee we went to Trick-or-Treat at the library, she was so excited. So we get there and she started to run and tripped. That ruined the rest of the day. She had blood running down her chin. Her tooth cut her lip on the inside, and she also scraped her lip, face and her hands. I felt so bad for her.

Losing Baby Weight..... Finally!

2008-10-29T21:13:00.000-07:00

I am proud to say I have joined Weight Watchers. I am excited cause I have only been doing it for 2 weeks and I have already lost over 5 lbs. I think this is such a good thing for me because I never realized how much I really eat. You think you eat pretty healthy but then you look at what portion sizes should be, and how many points little things are. Then you realize how bad stuff is for you. I shouldn't say bad, but a lot of points. I have been exercising in the mornings as well and I can tell a huge difference from that too. I cant wait to be able to look good in clothes again and feel as good about myself as I did when I got married. I would definitely recommend weight watchers to any one, even if you just need to lose 2o pounds. I think its awesome! I will keep you updated.

OUCH!!

2008-10-26T21:17:00.000-07:00

So, my kids had been sick for almost a month, I finally decided to take Kaleb in cause his eyes were all goobery. When I got to the doctor I had the feeling to get Kortnee seen too, so I had them both checked. I'm sure glad I listened to that Motherly Instinct because Kortnee had an infection in her left ear. Kalebs eyes were both infected and both ears too! I couldn't believe it. No wonder they weren't sleeping very well. Anyway, you know how it goes, they are both on antibiotics for 10 days. Can't wait till they are all better. Poor babies.

Our Little Angel (one of them of course)

2008-10-22T16:43:00.000-07:00

This is Kortnee's 3 mo. picture. Its a little late considering she is almost 6 mo. but I just had to show her off cause she is so cute. She is getting so big and she is so happy.

Carving Halloween Pumpkins

2008-10-22T13:43:00.000-07:00

For F.H.E. we went to Rachel and TJ's house to carve pumpkins. We each made a pumpkin dessert. I made a Pumpkin Roll and oh my heck it was delicious. Thanks to Rachel A. for the yummy recipe.

We stripped the kids down to their nothin's so they could get down and dirty. We had so much fun!!
Kylee helped me carve a ghost but went we were putting the pumpkins in car it fell out and broke.
These are the finished product. This is definitely fun only once a year.

How old are you?

2008-10-21T22:50:00.000-07:00

Kaleb may not talk but he surely knows what you are talking about. Since his first birthday, when you ask him how old he is he will show you on his hand. He knows a few words in sign language, but he is very hard to communicate with. He likes to scream and cry for everything. If he is in trouble and he knows it he likes to give an "I'm innocent," look. Its not fair cause he is so cute and then I question myself if he really does understand me, even though I'm sure he does. He's frustrating sometimes but he is a crack up. He is always making us laugh... and testing our patience.

Sisters

2008-10-21T22:33:00.000-07:00

So I decided to try and do curlers in my girls hair. It took a lot of patience from Kylee (and me) to get them in but it was all worth it in the end. Look at how cute she looks! It was a little too curly sue so we had to put it up. haha! Kylee wanted Kortnee to match so we did a few in her hair too.

It didn't work as well as Kylees but its fun to encourage the big sis wanting the little sis to be like here because I know that won't be the case for very long.

Ellie Came to Play!

2008-10-21T22:16:00.000-07:00

Ellie came to our house to play! We had so much fun. Usually Me and Ang stay up all night talking but this time we disciplined ourselves so we actually got some sleep. We got some cute girls in the bath. What a fun couple of days. We need to definitely do it again.

Kortnee Sue

2008-10-07T15:25:00.000-07:00

Our sweet sweet baby! Kortnee is getting so big she is always so happy. She hardly ever cries, she only fusses. She is really easy going and loves kisses. She talks more than her brother, Kaleb. We love to tickle her to hear her laugh. She is so much fun, I don't know what we would do with out her.

Chicken Little?

2008-10-06T21:45:00.000-07:00

Kalebs Double!

What do you think?

I'm a Princess

2008-10-06T15:47:00.000-07:00

Kylee has this new thing she does. She comes up to me and says in small humble voice, "Mom, I'm a Princess," like she is stating a fact. I just have to laugh and say, "Yes, Kylee, you ARE a princess!"

Here's the proof. She loves to play dress up and have her hair done all cute and her fingernails and toenails painted. But of course they have to be her favorite color, pink. Oh, and don't forget the make up!

Our Family

2008-10-06T11:11:00.000-07:00

Well, I have no idea what I'm doing but here goes nothing. Heath and I have been married for 4 years, on Nov. 12. Man the time has flown by. It seems we have been married for 8 years considering how much we have grown. We have 3 babies, they're not triplets, but I say babies because they are all under 3 years of age. We have Kylee who will be 3 in Dec, Kaleb will be 2 in Feb. and then our newest addition Kortnee, is 5 mo. Don't worry we didn't plan it so if you think I'm crazy I didn't chose this, well plan it I should say. It is pretty crazy that I can juggle it all and the most crazy thing about it is that I'm only 22. I got married right out of high school and didn't waste any time. Heath is working and mentally preparing himself to get back to school. It's really hard to balance school, work and spend enough time with the kids as well as the wife. haha.
