Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy birthday to me! I got to go to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden for my special day! Not what I would have picked for me, but the kids did have fun. I hope to get a new house for my birthday, so I didn't ask for anything.

I am 31 now. That's a whole new brackett when I do surveys! I should have had another party, that was the best ever! It's a good thing Kent's Market knows when my birthday is! They made me another good cake, but last years was definatley better! Luv U, Jena!

Waiting game

This is the house!! We made an offer and we are still in the process. Back and forth, here's what we'll pay, here's what he'll take...blah, blah, blah!
I will post the instant we know!!

Hey! Anyone want to buy my house?

Back in the Saddle again!

I got back from the Stampin Up! convention last night and I had a great time! I got a lot of free stuff and made a lot of new friends. I also got some great scrapbooking and card ideas and learned a few little tricks. It was fun and a nice break from every day life! A much needed break.

I obviously took Avrie with me and she was so much fun. Everyone would stop and talk to her and she would smile and work the crowd. It was pretty cute.

We did run into Thurl Bailey and he was kind enough to hold Avrie for a picture. Boy did she look tiny! Not very many people know he is on the board of directors at Stampin Up! I don't know what he does on the board but he was there.

Anyway, I'm home and I have big plans for re-decorating my living room. I will be sure to post pics when that gets going.

So...if anyone wants anything from Stampin' Up!, I can get it for you at a discount. That was information...not a sales pitch!

Avrie did get pretty tired and was ready to be home so she slept all night! Ooo I hope that turns into a habit! I was dripping wet when I got up in the morning, though. I am willing to sacrifice if she decides to do that again!

Stacy rules!

I guess I should put some up of my favorite boy, besides Glade of course! These are his 3 year old pics. Stacy took these, naturally. I get the kids pictures taken every year close to their birthday. I was a little late with McKinley's 8 year but hey, you try having 4 kids and staying on the ball without falling!

And we still love Stacy!

And then there's Paige! She's a natural. No matter what she is doing, the picture is perfect. Not to say that McKinley doesn't take good pictures, she just tries harder than Paige. I just love these!

We love Stacy...still

McKinley is our little poser. She always has her hands up close to her face or doing something funny. These were my favorite one's that weren't posed.

I'm sure that she will have tons of business now thanks to my highly popular blog site!

We love Stacy!

Stacy took the girls pictures just the other day and I LOVE them!

Baby Avrie at 3 months. She is growing too fast! You know what...she is growing at just the right speed now! To be honest, I didn't like her as a newborn infant. I like her much better now! She still needs more attention than any of my other kids, but she is getting more fun and sleeps much better.

So to say that she is growing to fast is just what everyone says and sometimes mean. In this case...she is growing and I like it!

Fishing with Daddy!

These first 3 are McKinley's amazing photography!
We are taking appointments for anyone interested!

Daddy making them do all the work!
Actually, they wanted to row.

Glade said Paige kept spinning them in circles.

So Tired!

I was cleaning out the fridge (inspired by some of your blogs) and I looked over at Avrie and she had fallen asleep in her bumbo seat. I felt so bad! I do like rocking her to sleep cuz she goes to sleep so easy. It was too cute to not take a picture.

Everyone is Happy!

So I just got done with Brockston in the bathroom. I made him sit in there until he went pee!

He had a ton of apple juice and I knew he had to go. He DID NOT want to go. I know you are supposed to keep it positive etc...ya...okay...I almost killed him!

At first I sat in there with him, gave myself a pedicure, manicure, shaved my legs, put lotion all over and ran out of things to do. Then Avrie woke up and she wanted to be held.

So I left him in there. At first he was okay, but then he started throwing things, so I sat him on his potty.

Finally about an hour later...(no exaggeration)...he PEED! He knew it was coming too cuz he got on his potty. So we celebrated, sang and danced and he got to open his Pirate Ship. Avrie was still not happy at this point so I sat her on my lap and finished setting up the ship. She was fascinated by it, so I sat her next to it and she has been playing for 15 minutes. That's a long time in Avrie's world. So Everyone is Happy. Especially me!
