UGH

Okay so this started out as a great day and then we went grocery shopping..

NEED I SAY MORE!!!

Of course I couldn't go with just 2 kids while Tayler was in school because we had our carpets cleaned. After picking Tay up, off I venture to Walmart with all 3 (all of which are starving, of course) and have a list a mile long of things I have to get.. not things I want to get.. things we actually need, like dish soap. I couldn't even wash my big pans last night because I had no dish soap and we had no milk.

Okay,

so off we go and all the while I am PRAYING that we will find a cart that will make this all happen. We get there and we do find a cart-- thank heavens (however it's the freakin' size of my YUKON) and off we go. Throughout the store I think I said EXCUSE ME 1oo times for running into people. (I seriously couldn't see).

Well after the cart is packed and literally doesn't have one more square inch to put anything, we check out and head home. All kids are still starving and one in particular is now screaming (and the Binky is only making it worse). The trip took a bit longer too because I had to look at calories on all the boxes of every brand to see which was the best. UGH #1!

I get out to the car only to open the back and see the big stroller is there. UGH #2! I know I have enough room if I throw the bags all over the seats but it would sure be easy if they were all in the back so I could unload easily SO I crammed them in. I think I had about 50 bags (no kidding!)

Then we are off for home. HOORAY!! It is 1:00 and I think I am going to pass out too! We pull into the driveway and I think all is well until I open the back of my YUKON.. and UGH #3. I had Jayson out by me and the girls were standing in the driveway, when I opened my trunk door and out tumbles the milk, breaks open, and starts spraying everywhere. I know babies aren't suppose to have cows milk so we'll see how the rest of the day goes!! (seriously he had to have gotten some in his mouth)

It is spraying everywhere and I don't know how to stop it. Other bags have toppled out as well and so all the cans of stuff are rolling down my driveway or getting soaked with milk. Jayson is now screaming louder and Rylee is dancing in the milk and then runs in our house on our newly cleaned carpets, and Tayler is standing there not really sure what to think (even though I am screaming at her and trying to get her to help me, but really making no sense at all).

I am sure the neighbors now think I have officially lost it.

Oh the JOYS I think to myself.

Now, you are probably thinking.. go at night dumb girl? And of course I would BUT my hubby is never home at night either-- bless his heart-- because of all the stuff he is doing (school, church, etc)!

Needless to say we made it. I hope to not visit Walmart again for a very long time!

After I fed all the small ones lunch, I put them down for naps. I went up to my bed to read my book, NEW MOON, (thanks Jen) and had Jayson cuddled next to me. He loves to sleep on his tummy so I let him for nap time. As I was reading my book I looked over and just had so much love for him. I feel like I have known him forever, not just 6 weeks.

Isn't he so stinkin' cute?!

I love my family sooo very much.

They are all my little friends (and big friend).

And to top it all off.. someone knocked on my door and delivered these...

Beautiful!!

Isn't that a great ending?! I really am blessed and loved and totally taken care of by people! They are from Sean's boss (to me). She thanked me for helping at the party Friday night when Sean was so sick. What a nice lady. I think they are absolutely beautiful and such perfect timing to be delivered!!

Tay's 1st Soccer Game

Saturday was Tayler's first game. Their team is the Pink Soccer Bugs

She was so excited and did SO good. I thought she would be more timid, but I would have to say (as her bragging mom) that she was one of the best one's on her team. She even scored a GOAL. It was exciting!

Rylee cheered loud for her and loved being there.

Sean and I both got the stomach flu. It was awful. Sean came down with it Thursday night and had a work party Friday that he was in charge of food for. He managed to get the food down to the park in North Salt Lake and then came home to crash. The kids and I stayed and played and ate. I really like the people that Sean works with so it was fun to visit with them. The girls loved playing at the park. Saturday, Sean came to Tay's game even though he felt awful. I felt fine until that night and then I started getting the rumbles! Since then we have just been tag teaming with the kids. Today we are starting to feel better. I guess we caught was Rylee had.

Here is my little guy getting so big. This weekend we are blessing him. I am excited to see my family that will be coming to town!!

Sean starts school today, so we are back to not seeing him a lot again. Tayler cried all morning. She loves her daddy. It will just make the time he is home that much better!!

Have a great day all!

Where have I been??

Just trying to figure out this mother of 3 thing and getting a little person off to
school on time!!

Life is good.

Jayson is getting big-- Already! I swear they take so long to come and then they
grow up way to fast!!

My sister and her family stayed with us last night on their way back from
Colorado. I love them and miss my sis. I wish that she lived closer.

Last week I learned how to wake board. It was so much fun. I still can't believe
I got into a swimming suit. We had a blast. I think we may buy a boat.

Tonight I mowed the lawn. My kids were bathed and in bed by 9:00. Love it.

Tay's Day

The birthday girl

So we began the birthday "DAY" by making cinnamon rolls and orange juice for breakfast.
Then it was off to school.

I picked up Tay's friend Kinsey and we headed to her class to take in some BIRTHDAY treats. Her teacher gave her a paper crown to wear for the day and she loved it.

School ended and we went to lunch to celebrate. Tay chose Chick-Fil-A (Huge surprise!!).

After lunch we came home and Kinsey and Tayler helped me make cupcakes. I let them do everything. Yes my kitchen was a diaster and there were a few egg shells found, BUT they had a wonderful time!

After cleaning sprinkles and frosting up for an hour :) Kinsey went home and Tay took a short nap while I continued to cleaned.

After naps, we decorated for the family party at 7.

Grandpa Tom playing ring around the roses with the grandkids.

We had cake and ice cream and had the kids do a pinataThey loved it and then played outside for a while.

Then came the presents. She is a very loved little girl. Thank you everyone for all the wonderful and generous presents.

Tayler and her cousin, Asha--She gave her a princess dress so Tay was thrilled


Our little princess

Then the day came to an end. Thank you so much for all the gifts, cards, calls to make Tayler feel so special. She loves all of you very much!!

After we put Tayler and Rylee to bed, Sean and I went downstairs to watch So You Think You Can Dance. I'm sad that the show is almost over. Can't wait for tonight!!!!

My little Rylee pot pie is sick. I feel so bad for her. Better go and see how she is doing.

Hugs and kisses to all XXOXX

Look who's 5

My little Tay is now 5.

on her way to school.. it's purple day today!

I love:

• The sparkle in her big blue eyes
• Her sweet personality
• Her unconditional love
• The love she has for her family
• Her great hugs and kisses
• Her curly locks
• Her cute little face
• and so much more....

She is such a special girl and we feel so blessed to have her in our family. We love you Tay!

My sis finally came

So my sister JEN has been her since Tuesday afternoon and it was so nice to have her come. She is so great in every way and I loved having her here. She left this morning, and I miss her already. Our kids had a great time playing and we had the chance to just hang out. She is so easy to hang out with because we don't have to be doing anything. I love just sitting and talking to her.

Wednesday we took all the kids to the park and a picnic lunch.

Thursday we went out to my mom's house to play and visit with her. She had a little pool filled up with some squirt guns. I forgot to grab all the kids swimming suits so they played in their undies and clothes and had a blast.

Friday Jayson had a Dr.'s appt. that lasted forever so Jen kept the kids for me so I didn't have to take any of them. That night she offered to keep all the kids (brave girl) so that Sean and I could go out on a date. We tried to go and see Bourne, but I looked at the times wrong so we came home. After putting the kids to bed Jen and I went NIGHT OWL shopping. It just wouldn't be a visit without some shopping!

Saturday Sean took Tay and Meg to the movie and we went to some stores to find ribbon and seriously struck out. I don't know why stores don't carry sheer ribbon in lots of colors. We came home and played in the pool and then got kids bathed and to bed.

Cute little Meg holding Jayson. She was such a big helper and loved to hold him.

Anyway, it was awesome for me and such a great week! She was so good to do my laundry, dishes, play with my kids, make beds, help get them dressed, etc. I will have withdrawls now.

Thanks again Jen-- you're the best!!!

My Little Dude

I am trying to decide on some pictures for my birth announcements. Which ones do you think are good?? Please help.

Fun Weekend

So Thursday evening my friend called me and asked me if I wanted to go to a movie. I was so needing to get out of the house so I said YES! We went and saw Hairspray. It was a fun movie to watch, I enjoyed it and it was a great break!

Then yesterday some of my friends from High School had a little get together. It was so fun to see everyone again. Not as many people came as I thought would, but some I haven't seen for a long time. I took little Jayson with me and dropped the girls off at Sean's work. I went to my mom's first and then went over to my friend Melanie's

(parents) house. At 10:30 I left and went back to my mom's. I fed Jayson and then finally left to come home at midnight. It was a fun night! When I got home, I put Jayson to bed and he slept until 6. It felt so good. I woke up and fed him and then went back to bed until 9.

I hope that everyone is doing well! Happy Saturday!

Catch up

I love this little Dude! He is the best baby ever!So Tayler had her first day of kindergarten while I was in the hospital and then they had testing the rest of the week after the 24th holiday. Well I ASSUMED that she would start Monday so we got up and ready and sent her on her way. My friend Amanda drove her to school and her little girl is in 1st grade and her class is right by Tay's so they walked in together. Well, I get a call around 9:oo from the school saying "we have Tayler here in the office.. school actually doesn't start until tomorrow." OOPS!!!! I hurried and packed Rylee and Jayson in the car and ran to get Tayler. She was sitting in the office on the big bench with her cute little backpack on when I got there. I felt so bad and I think she didn't know what to think. She had a little tear in her eye. I felt so bad and I'm sure the teacher is thinking "nice one mom!" Oh.. I will get it down one day. Anyway, I told Tay that it was our trial run.


She loved her "real" first day of school. She loves her teacher and everything else about it! It's fun to see her standing outside when I pick her up. I still can't believe she is in school now. I love her so much!


Rylee and I love cuddling in the mornings after Tay leaves. She seems so grown up too me now that I have a little one. She loves the baby and is very cute with him. She loves to make sure she knows where he is, but doesn't bother him much. She is such a fun little girl!


Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my cute little niece Emmy who turned 10!!! Holy cow I remember when she was born! She is such a beautiful little girl inside and out. Hope you had a great day Emmers!


My sis comes next week.. HOORAY! I can't wait.
