madilyns 1st Birthday

2011-07-12T15:51:00.000-07:00

I really cant believe how fast this past year has gone, It seems like yesterday I found out I was pregnant and here it is and Madilyn is already a year old. She has been such a super fun baby and has a great personality, she loves Quentyn like you would never know, sometimes when we have a babysitter over and she gets cranky it is Quentyn that gets her to calm down. I hope their relationship will always be close. Madilyn loves to give Draydyn and Timberlyn loves too. She is just a super fun baby.

christmas 2010

2011-07-12T15:24:00.000-07:00

It was a great Christmas this past year yes here it is 7 mths later and I am posting.
Madi decided to start crawling on Christmas Eve, it was a great gift for the other kids they loved that she was finally crawling, "Draydyn said wow this is a great present" I love the things he says he cracks me up.

Here are a few of Madilyn at her christmas picture shoot, my friend Jessica does an amazing job when she does our pictures. Madilyn has been super fun and we love her:)

Grandma and Grandpa Davis'

2010-10-13T22:43:00.000-07:00

We went to visit my Dad and step mom and My Aunt Barbara and Uncle Jerry cam to visit also and I love seeing and visiting them. Whenever I go to my Dad's I always try to go by and see my great Aunt Roma; she is my Grandma Davis' sister and the only one left, I always thought she was my Grandma growing up, because I didnt understand why my cousins called her grandma but she was only my Aunt, she is a great woman and I love hearing about when they were growing up in Ray and Yuma Colorado. I thought I had a picture on here of her, but I guess not.
While we were at my dads we had a lot of fun, we went out to the alcova reservior and looked at the damn overflow, it was the first overflow or I guess the called it something like run off but the most run off since 1984, because of the droughts it was really awesome to be able to see.

Slippin Slide 2010

2010-10-13T22:32:00.000-07:00

On one of the few really hot days that we had here in Vernal,Utah; Timberlyn had a old friend over that she met in kindergarten and the kids were complaining on how hot it was and how they wished they had a swimming pool or something they could play in and then I remembered we had a slippin slide from Quentyn's Birthday a few years before, so I went on a mission to find it. No such luck I called Joey and asked him about it and he said it got thrown a way, can I say devestated kids I had looking at me. I told them that in a few I would take them to Kmart, so we were Kmart boundk found a great deal on the slippin slide $7.00 and we came home and put it up and the kids had a blast slippin on that thing!!

a real excuse!!!

2010-10-13T22:25:00.000-07:00

Alright so by now we all know what a terrible blogger that I am, but I honestly dont think our life is that entertaining or exciting to blog about; and its so busy I dont want to get on and blog, where and when do I have the time? I thought that life would not be so busy and crazy once school started and I would have time to scrapbook, genealogy, keep my house cleaner than it is when my kids are home, be able to relax and do the things that I WANT to do, but that so far has not happened.
I'm not really complaining in a bad way, I'm thankful for my kids and my life. I'm happy for the most part!!
One of my friends is telling me I havnt blogged in like 7 months I wont name names, but here are few bloogs for you Jess, lol! I tell her I dont know when she has time to blog or read like she does( yes I am a little jealous) I admit so I am blogging while I am laying in bed really thinking I should be doing laundry or watching Law and Order SVU, or something but I thought heck I will blog for Jess!!

Random pics of Madilyn

2010-05-19T16:49:00.000-07:00

Here are a few random pics of Madi, we really are glad that she is finally here she has been alot of fun to play with and dress up. I can't wait till she starts laughing and getting a personality, but I will miss her being so little. Sorry for the 2 that are turned I thought that I had turned them, but I guess not.

Dog's getting a ride

2010-05-19T16:41:00.001-07:00

Draydyn got this little bike with wagon for his birthday and he absolutely loves it, he carries everything he possibly can get into the wagon, this past weekend he helped his dad haul off cement and old grass we dug up and hauled it to the field, Saturday while I was off watching a movie with the girls, Draydyn took the dogs for a ride around the neighborhood. I'm not sure how the dog stayed in for that long, Joey said both of them were in there at one time, but didn't get a pic of it. I think I'm just lucky enough to have had Joey get the ones he did. I myself think it is a cute picture.

loving soccer

2010-05-19T13:01:00.000-07:00

Quentyn is playing soccer for the 7th year and loving it but only AYSO for the 3rd year, we love soccer and watching Quentyn play makes my heart smile I love it when he does what he loves doing, although he'd rather be riding motorcyles or 4 wheelers but thats okay too.
His team this year is tied for first place and I so am hoping that they take 1st this year and then we will be on to tournamnets. Quentyn does great at playing and the team has such great spirit and helps each other out so much.
I am sad when it is over but then we are on to tackle football and who doesnt love football?

Draydyn's 6th birthday

2010-05-19T12:37:00.000-07:00

My little man Draydyn turned 6 on March 15th, we didnt do much just had cake and ice cream that night, I didnt want to have a big party and have it all planned just incase Madilyn decided to come early, so family just came over and we opened some presents and had a good time. He was so excited he got a DSi and some money, with him nobody can leave money laying around or he gets it and sticks it in his piggy bank. So he was excited when Brandon and Julie and the kids gave him 15 bucks (he tought he was rich) Draydyn already cant wait for his 7th birthday he askes weekly when he'll be 7. He really does crack me up.

Madilyn's arrival

2010-05-16T14:08:00.000-07:00

Madilyn Jean Slaugh finally arrived on March 29, 2010 at 6:41 p.m. when I arrived at the hospital at 7:00 am that morning they didnt have me on the schedule for an induction need I say I was not happy at all that the nurse didnt call down there and schedule me. So they finally got me started on the pitocin about 9:30 am and I was only dilated to a 2, everyone said I would be there all day and night, I kept telling everyone that she would be here by 9:00 that night, nobody was buying it. I didnt progress much during the day I was walking about every hour for 30 minutes. At 3:00 I was only a 3 so not very fast going, I was up walking around when Dr. Lewis came by at 5:30 pm when he was going home and told the nurses he really didnt want me up walking, what a bummer I thought. I was still only a 3-4 but more of a 3 at that time and he said he was going home to wax the floor, peel potatos and cook dinner and that he would see me in the morning I said whatever she will be here tonight, at that time I was rerally thinking I would never have her, my contractions werent very hard and not strong, when the family and my friend Jessica left at about 5:45 they all said it would be in the middle of the night or the next day, I still was trying to convince them all she would be here by 9. When the nurse left at 6:30 pm I was still a 4 but my contractions were getting alot stronger and harder and told her I wanted an epideral, so she said she would call the anestegiologist, well he didnt come very fast, the next nurse came in about 6:35 and I was a 5 and still no epideral, well the contractions were right on top of each other and really hurting ans so strong they said they would call Dr.Lewis and let him know well another nurse came in and checken me this was about 6:37 or so and said she would be right back and didnt say anyhting else and then Evelyn came in and checked and said I was a 10 and still no epideral and I so needed to push and so I pushed 2 times and Madilyn was finally here at 6:41 delivered by Evelyn the nurse and then Dr. Lewis came in and said what happened I said where were you at I told you shed be here by 9 and he said when I left at 5:30 you were still a 3 and then only an hour later you had her, I went from a 4 to a 10 in about 4 minutes it was totally crazy and at the time I really wanted an epideral but so glad afterwards I didnt have one, I was so glad that she was here, we didnt get any pictures of her right after she was born it went so fast. Then after Joey left to go home to the other kids 2 of my friends came to visit Cara and Tyra they helped me get to my room and cuddled Madilyn for awhile and were such great company and help I love to visit with them, love their guts!!! Madilyn weighed in at 7 lbs 3.3 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long which I think they measured her wrong becasue at 4 days she was 19 1/4 and then at her 2 wk check she wazs 19 1/2 but thats okay.
She has been so fun, but has been an adjustment for all.

Life

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

Okay it has been oh lets see 7 months since I posted ANYTHING and in those 7 months 5 of them I really could've stayed on top of things and posted but really there wasnt much going on, I spent most of my time on the couch or lounging around trying to keep Madilyn in till she was ready to come out. The kids have just been doing their everyday thing going to school, fighting and you know complaining as kids all do. But I love them even when they drive me absolutely nuts.

lake Tahoe

2009-10-29T11:59:00.000-07:00

We had a family vacation to Lake Tahoe during the 2nd week of school, it was a blast and the kids enjoyed the trip.We got there on a Monday and left on Friday. Tuesday we went to the beach and rented a paddle boat and we were having a blast and then all of a sudden the waves were getting bigger and the wind was blowing, the boat started filling up with water in the back, Timberlyn and Quentyn jumped out of the boat and then it started to tip and I got out and so Draydyn and Joey were in the boat and it flipped over the top of them it was scary. Quentyn and Timberlyn swam in and got some help and Joey, Draydyn and I got on the back of one of the boats and waited for them to come and get us, because yes I dont know how to swim very well, yes, yes I know. The water was freezing cold did I say FREEZING. My camera was in the boat with us so needless to say it got wet and didnt dry out until the day before we left we went on an awesome boat ride around Lake Tahoe, it is absolutely breathtaking. It was called the MS Dixie II.

New Updates in the fam

2009-10-29T11:48:00.000-07:00

So yes I know it has been along long time since I have updated the blog and I have no excuse really since I have been on bed rest since Sept, it is getting really really old and I wonder if I will ever get off of bedrest. We havent broadcasted it alot, but I do think it is time to tell well maybe; I am pregnant and it was a big suprise, it wasn't planned, we thought we were finished after Draydyn. Got rid of everything we had because no plans to have another one. Yes I am still trying to adjust to the idea and frankly I am a little scared. I do however believe everything will be okay one way or another.
Timberlyn is way excited and told many of the neighbors, even when I told her not to tell anyone the little turkey.Quentyn was not excited one bit, he didnt want anymore siblings and asked why we went and got pregnant and I was laughing and told him that sometimes things just happen, Draydyn had a hard time at first because the other 2 kept teasing him and telling him that he wouldn't be the baby anymore, yes he is 5 but he is still my baby, hes the best snuggler in the world, so in that sense I have enjoyed bed rest we lay and snuggle after the other kids go to school, until it is time for him to go.
I am due the end of March and I really think that this baby is a girl, sometimes you just have a hunch, I knew Draydyn was a boy 2 weeks after I found out I was pregnant with him, and so I really do think that this is a girl, so I am hoping that I am right, but we will see.

Glacier Park, Montana trip

2009-07-01T20:30:00.000-07:00

Joey and I went on an awesome trip to Glacier National Park in Montana, on the motorcycle it sure is a beautiful place to go. The kids stayed the first 3 nights with Louise and Shelby and then the rest of the time with Ted and Debbie, they all had a great time and then Quentyn was with his Dad. We missed the kids so much but it was so nice to be away from them also. We left here on Monday the 22nd of June and went up through Afton, Wy and then stayed the night in Jackson at the State Park, because when we went to the Good Sam Park it was 60.00 to stay and Joey wasn't going to pay that much so we stayed at the State park for 19.00. We set up camp and went and ate at The Merry Piglet's restaurant in Jackson Hole that we love to eat at, it is great Mexican food, we eat there everytime we go there. And did some walking through the town and then went back to the tent and I went to bed I was tired, and the mosquitos were eating us alive.

The next morning we got up went and ate some breakfast and then went on our way to West Yellowstone, on the way out of town we were going o like 65 miles an hour and didn't know thast my camera case was opened and went to take a picture and the camera fell out and onto the ground rolling about 10 times on the side of the road, Joey said all he heard was me say my camera and so we turned around and just knew that my camera was going to be shattered and not even work, but luckily the batteries fell out and it was scratched up a little but it was still in one piece and still worked, Good thing Kodaks are so tough. So when we got to West Yellowstone we went to the store so that we could make something for dinner and ate grilled cheese sandwiches and cream corn chowder yummy...

The next day we left West Yellowstone and went to Montana and had to stop in Butte we needed 2 new tires, the tires were so bad the cords were showing and the guys place that we stopped at said that the tires were so bad, he didn't know how we even made it that far and would'nt even let us drive it acround the block the place we went to in Butte was called Two Wheels, awesome place and the people were so nice and froendly, helpful they were just awesome. When we left Butte we headed straight to Glacier and stayed in the Whitefish KOA, outside of Kalispell, I muct say it sure is a beautiful state.

Joey's Uncle Gary was killed up outside of Kalispell, Mo 4 years ago when his parents, both uncles, their wives and an aunt and her spouse were able to finally go on a motorcycle trip together and a deer had jusmped out in front of him and then a logging truck was coming on the

other side of the road and he was ran over by the logging truck, it was such a horrible thing and I will never forget GAry ever, he was a great guy. Anyway we were able to go and see were he died at and there were about 20 crosses on the sides of the roads, they say it is one of the most dangerous highways.

So we went to Glacier and looked all around there and meet alot of cool and nice people. Need I say beautiful again???

So on Friday we started heading home and left Glacier went down clear to Mountpeiller Idaho and I must say I thought my butt was going to fall of, it was so numb I couldn't even feel it, we went 700 miles that day and then went through 3 states that day and then stayed in Montpeliier and then left there and came home the next day. I have to say if you ever get a chance to go to Glacier do it, it is so beautiful, they get about 40 ft of snow there every year and then they have to do road work on the highways every year. So here are a few pictures of the trip, hope you enjoy them.

iCE cREAM tRUCK iN tHE nEIGHBORHOOD

2009-06-30T21:13:00.000-07:00

So on a Wednesday after getting home from work, there were sirens and the sound of some musical noise, not knowing or caring to pay attention, Timberlyn comes running into the house screaming"the ice cream truck is outside, I need money for me and Draydyn"

OK and the one day that the ice cream truck does come I had already spent all my cash that I had to pick up something for mt friend Jessica for bunco that night.

Not wanting to hurt her feelings or piss her off, if you know Timberlyn pissing her off is not an hard thing to do, so I thought were is some change at so that I don;t have to dig in the change bucket, I remembered I had a stash of quarters; that I had been saving of the new state quarters so I dug into them kicking myself in the you know what the whole time but when I saw how happy that ice cream made them then it wasn't so bad after all.

Lagoon Fun

2009-06-30T20:34:00.000-07:00

So I have been wanting to go to Lagoon again forever, yes being the last time I went was O about 7 1/2 years ago and it was so fun, we invited our friends Curtis and Jessica to go and we took Shelby. The kids had a blast and I believe that the adults had a blast to.
Draydyn however was not so happy because he wasn't able to go on all the rides, he is not really afraid of anything. Quentyn went so many times last year, he thought he was quite the pro at all the rides. Our neighbors were there and he wanted to walk around for awhile with the neighbor girl, when he first asked me I told him he sure could walk with her, "10 steps infront of me." Yeah he didn't think I was very funny, me on the other hand thought that it was funny.

We got to Lagoon at about 11:45 am and we didn't leave until 11:00 that night it was so fun.
After we took the kids on most of the rides that they wanted to ride, we went and ate lunch and then went and rode some of the bigger rides and then back to the kid ones, we had alot of good rides and want to go back when they have the bounce back in July.And Cara you will have to come this next time.

Free Fishing Day

2009-06-30T17:26:00.000-07:00

Well I only had one of the kids this weekend, and that was Draydyn. The other kids were gone Quentyn was with his Dad and Timberlyn was in Salt Lake with the Girl Scouts and so Shelby and I took Draydyn fishing up to Steinaker and fished off the bridge, we caught about 12 fish in all and released them all, I love to fish but I hate eating them they stink so very badly to me.
When we got up there and got parked, Shelby drove her truck, because well she needs the hours for her license and she is 16 and you all know how 16 yr olds are. We got ourselves out of the truck and shut the doors so all the mosquitos would stay out of there and went to get in the truck to get Draydyn's fishing pole, the doors were locked, do you think anybody else has an extra key? Well George does but where was he, no where to be found, so there were a few guys up there nice enough to try to help, the doors were so tight it was kinda hard, there was a guy on a bullet bike that tried to help and was so nice to drive back to town and get a metal hanger and about 8 minutes after he left we got into the truck, thanks to those guys and the guy on the bullet bike got back and we had gotten in the truck, he gave Shelby the hanger for future use, hopefully that wont have to be used.
We had so much fun and ran out of worms but were catching so many that I ended up trying to use the rest of Draydyn's cheese from his lunch, not so much luck and then I just put a spinner on the line, after my line broke, I was using Draydyn's snoopy pole yep I am a little crazy but it was so much fun and Draydyn was loving every minute of it.

Getting my car detailed

2009-04-03T21:52:00.000-07:00

This is a funny story. On wednesday I had a appointment with the detail shop, Magic Detailing.
So I called Cara the day before and asked her to meet me down there and to take me home before she goes to work, so she meet me down there, I have to say that I went to work that morning at 5:00 am because Draydyn had a field trip Joey went with him, so I knew that he wouldn't go to the babysitters and so I needed to be off by 11:00 am so that Joey could go back to work. I had to taske Quentyn to an appointment at 3:30 till 4:30, Timberlyn had to be to Girl Scouts at 4:30 and picked up by 6:00 and then I needed to be to the Rec Center at 6:00 for Boy Scouts, and at 3:30 the detail shop called and said my car was done I told them that I would be ther in an hour to get it they close at 5:00. So after I took Timberlyn to Girl Scouts, I called Cara again and asked her if she could take me to get my car, but she wasn't getting off until after 5 so she called Clint to see if he would, I told her thanks and so she said don't thank me thank Clint and I said OH I WILL THANK HIM, she said not like that! He met me at the house and took me up there, dropped me off. I went to pay and look over my car it looked great I went to leave and my car would'nt start. I went to tell Max that they must've left my key on and drained my battery. He got a battery charger we tried to jump it for about 20 minutes, nothing happened and so he figured maybe I was out of gas, ok how could that happen I wondered I has 1/4 of a tank when I dropped it off. He said he wondered if the guy forgot my car was out there running and it ran out of gas. Max felt so so bad that he kept apologizing I said it was okay and kinda made a joke about it, he said he could'nt believe I was so calm, and told me I was a model customer. Max offered me a ride since I told him I needed to be a the rec center at 6 for scouts. He took me home and told me that he would go get a 5 dollar gas tank fill it up and get my car started and drive it to my house and oark it in the driveway. When I got home from the rec center there was my car. I have to say that it looks so good and clean, I haven't drove it since I had it cleaned I have been driving the truck and the beetle I don't want to get it dirty it looks so good. They do an awesome job and recommend them to any of you. It was a really funny situation and had to laugh about it.

Could life slow down just a little????

2009-04-03T21:38:00.000-07:00

Okay so I am not the best blogger ever as you all know by now. It has been a horribly busy 4 months and I tell myself that I will get caught up on my blog, but it just never happens. So I am now finally getting the chance.
Lets see where should I begin?? Hmm we went to my Dad's the 2nd week in February and had so much fun, I wish that I could move there and be closer to him, and my Great Aunt Roma lives there and I love to visit her everytime I go, she is so awesome.
My Dad, Joey, Quentyn, Draydyn and my nephew Dylan all went out to Patrhfinder and went ice fishing and they had so much FUN!!! My step mom and Timberlyn and I went shopping, I love going to Hobby Lobby while I am there, they have the best scrapbooking stuff ever like 12 rows both sides and its like a scrapbook heaven or something.
And then the sale of Girl Scout Cookies started, ok I must admit that I love selling the cookies, but delivering them really SUCKS, Timberlyn sold 2000 boxes this year, her second year being the top seller in the Uintah Basin District. AWESOME! I must say myself...
I needed church clothes and work clothes like no other,because I have gotten FAT I think and we went to Park City a few weeks ago and had some fun, and wished I had lots more money to spend, but now that everyone is losing their jobs, I thought well we had better save our money now.
I have enjoyed working the 3 days a week, and it's nice to see people that I haven't seen in a long time. 2 of the depatment managers that I used to work with are now assistamt managers and I love working with them they are so FUN, to work with.

Family pictures

2009-01-06T13:34:00.000-08:00

Our Family pictures turned out great, it was so cold during them it only took about 30 minutes to take all of them, we probably could've took more but it was so cold did I mention it was so cold? The kids tried not to show how cold it really was, but in a few of the pics of draydyn he has some rosey cheeks and not to mention you can see a little piece of his blue gum. So here they are.

we had to cancel our Bear Lake trip

2009-01-06T13:27:00.000-08:00

Well we were going to Bear Lake from the 30th of December until the 5th of January, but our plans didn't work out the way we wanted them to, we all got the flu and were all sick. So it was really depressing that we didn't get to go, but I guess life will just have to go on. We will have to try to get there another time. So New Years needless to say was kinda boring, we went to Joeys parents for a little bit and left around 9pm and came home and watched a movie and went to bed, we did however get to sleep in the next morning until 10:00 am that was heaven. But then we had to get back into the groove of things since yesterday school was back in session thank goodness.

I'm really partied out

2009-01-06T13:23:00.000-08:00

we have been so busy with partys since the beginning of December and I can't believe how tired of them I really am. since Christmas we have had 2 birthdays both nieces Jaecee turned 11 and Emmee turned 4 and then we didn't make it to our niece Cora's party she turned 2 and our friend Jessica's birthday was the 30th and she turned 25 and we didn't make it to that one either. So the next party is the 10th and that is Timberlyn's and then from there it seems we always have at least 2 or 3 a month.

I'm a slacker

2009-01-06T12:44:00.000-08:00

Okay so I really have been slacking ALOT lately on blogging. Life has just been so busy, I'm not real sure if I'm coming or going some of the time, well okay most of the time. Our Holidays were great, but I'm so glad they are over and the best thing was that my kids really do know the true reason we celebrate Christmas and it's not about SANTA or the PRESENTS!! So that I am very grateful for.
We spent Christmas Eve with my Mom and Dad in LaPoint, we took my little sisters 3 kids over there with us since my sister is a little incapacitated else where. We had dinner over there and opened presents and then we came home. Then did the one present on Chritmas Eve you know the pajamas and read a story and then went to bed.
We even got to sleep in until 9:30 am on Christmas morning, got up Santa didn't come until around 1:00 pm because the kids were not very good and if I had it my way they would'nt have had Santa for awhile maybe a few days, but anyways they got some great gifts and really enjoyed them, we only get the kids 3 gifts and then they get 1 from Santa and then whatever they get from the Grandparents. So Nana and Gpa came over and watched them open the presents that they got the kids and then I cleaned up a little, went and layed in bed for awhile and then got up and cleaned up more and cooked so we could have dinner over at Joey's sisters in Roosevelt. So it was a nice Christmas. Here are some pictures from Christmas.

Timberlyn's 8th birthday

2009-01-06T12:28:00.000-08:00

Wow I can't believe that Timberlyn is 8 years old. She turned 8 on December 19th and December is such a busy month, we have our Anniversary, like 10 birthdays in our families. Decemeber is always a hard month for me not just because it is so busy and with Christmas and all, but my brother Greg the one that died his birthday is December 31st and he would've turned 39 this year, so it is hard to have all the magic, with him missing, he has been gone now for almost 13 years.

But on the brighter note of things, Timberlyn turned 8 and so on her birthday we had some family cone over for dinner and cake and ice cream, I made meatloaf, mashed potatoes, rolls, salad and then had cake and ice cream. I am going to have her a friend birthday party on the 10th of January at the movie theater we are going to watch Marley and Me.

Timberlyn was excited to hand out her invitations to her class today, I had her invite everyone in her class, because it hurts feelings to have someone get an invitation and you don't you know in the 2nd grade.I think she was more excited to give one to a boy named Joel in her class that her and every other girl thinks is cute. So here are a few pics of her opening her presents, yes I know she looks real happy.

Family Pictures

2008-12-12T19:36:00.000-08:00

Well I have a good friend, and she takes awesome pictures and so on Sunday after church we are going to get them taken I am so so excited I can't wait. We haven't ever had them taken in the fall/winter, but always in the summer. So I m so excited to have some ones with snow in them maybe if it snows like they say it is supposed to, but you all know how the weather people are.
As soon as I get them I can get my Christmas Cards out so that will be a project that
may take awhile, if you all recall it takes me awhile to get think=gs done, in a timely matter.

I thought that I'd better blog

2008-12-12T19:30:00.000-08:00

Okay so I haven't blogged for awhile and thought since I was home; Timberlyn and her friend are in the room playing and Draydyn is bugging them, Quentyn is with his Dad and Joey is watching Wyatt Earp. That means I have what???? QUIET TIME..... It is so nice. I really should be workinh on laundry, but that gets so old and I do it all the time, I thought I needed a break.

Well all of you will be shocked, because I still am. I went back to work at WALMART. I know you can't believe it crazy, huh? I am only going to work 2 days a week, and no weekends. So I think that it will be okay and all, I will do the comp shopping on the grocery side. They have some new orientation process and things and so for you all that worked there before also it is nothing like the "old" days. But it will be good I think anyways.
Wish me luck.

30 and Frumpy

2008-11-21T20:29:00.000-08:00

I am officially 30 years old and according to one of my younger friends, she says once you turn 30 you are "Old and Frumpy"
It isn't anything crazy about being 30, other than I am getting bags under the eyes, and I've always sagged pretty much everywhere that it matters.

I did go to lunch with a bunch of friends and that was alot of fun. To bad that it could'nt last longer, you know hanging out with your friends for lunch.
Cara got me a way cool basket from the Little Sweet Pea and we all love that place. Thanks Cara I love ya so much and thanks to everyone that went to lunch with me it was so fun and so nice of you.

Twilight movie

2008-11-21T20:09:00.000-08:00

So my very good friend Dena works at the theater and so I knew that they were selling the tickets on Monday and at 2:20 pm I met her up there with a few of our other friends and were the first to by tickets to the 8:00 pm showing. I was so very excited and I know it just seems as if I'm rambling around in circles which if you know me that is a usual thing.

The movie was really good, but the book is way better, and the way you picture some of the actors/actresses is different than the way they are in the movie. Don't get me wrong it was good and I would go see it again.

Picture Tag Thanks Cara for tagging me

Halloween party
Timberlyn had a Halloween party tonight for Girl Scouts and she wanted to wear her costume! I think she looks so cute as Wicked Frisky witch! Cara's daughter Anika is in the same troop so Cara took them and I picked them up. She was dressed up as a Hannah Montana! I loved Timberlyn's purple hair!) She wore it to school for crazy hair day.

Happy Halloween to All....

2008-11-02T20:51:00.000-08:00

So life for me on Halloween is always so very busy and I am always in a rush to get to everywhere that I am supposed to go, that it just gets to be so crazy. Since the kids get out of school at 12:30 on Fridays I thought ok so I can get the kids ready and go to my Mom's and so I can get that crossed off the list early, and then go to Aunt Darcy's house and then to Nana's (since she says I never get there before 9:00 pm) ok I was there at 4:30 pm and she wasn't even home, and so then we ran into her at Darcy's house and so she got to see the kids and myself since I dressed up this year, it is so fun and I loved it because people didn't even recognize me. But anyhow while at Darcys we went over to the Mott's and rode the train and saw the wild/exotic animals and then went home and I started making dinner and getting ready for the trunk or treat, which we did in our neighborhood this year and it turned out really good, and so I am hoping that we will do it again next year.

The kids had alot of fun, at least I was able to get a picture of Draydyn but that was it he was not going to keep his costume on for nothing and so since this is the 2nd year that he hasn't dressed up I told him that I was NOT going to get him a costume next year, although I did try to talk him into something for next year and told him that all of us would dress up as this movie, but of course he wasn't for that, but the rest of us are.

Im an Esme!

Pumpkin Patch

2008-10-25T22:28:00.001-07:00

The kids, my mom and I went to the Pumpkin Patch in Lapoint and picked out some pumpkins, well ended up with way to many pumpkins but had a lot of fun doing it.
Here are a few pics. I love taking pictures in the fall and the changing leaves and the pumpkins are great.

Draydyn and Brendyn hunting for pumpkins

Draydyn loves to make faces

My Dads house

2008-10-25T22:06:00.000-07:00

Playing in the hay

My Dad, Joey and the kids

Draydyn checking out his new bike
So we went to my Dads house last weekend, I love to go and see my Dad and step mom, but really wish they lived closer. He lives in Casper, Wyoming and so its not like its just a short drive, but anyways we had so much fun. The kids love to hang out and ride the horses and all the bikes, and they can't ever get into any trouble, I'm sure they look for some of it.
My Dad lives on a HUGE piece of land, with 7 horses and they don't have any more cows or other live stock just 5 cats and a dog named B; just the letter. While we were there my Dad, Joey and Quentyn went to a rummage sale and Quentyn didn't know quit what to think, he has gone to a lot of yard sales and so forth but not a rummage sale, so my dad bought a 20' bike and brought him home, when Draydyn saw this bike he naturally assumed Grandpa bought it just for him and was not going to leave there without that bike so we loaded it up in the van on the day we left and brought it home, he loves his new bike that Grandpa Davis bought just for him.
They played in the hay barn, Draydyn was always falling down and thought that was the coolest and just kept falling, more on purpose I believe than clumsiness. We hung out a little with my brother, sister in law and their 3 kids, met them at the Haunted House and went through with them in the little kids not scary, so we went in the adult one and it was AWESOME, so I went again after going with Joey and my brother. Then I went with my sister in law and nephew Dylan and tried to take Quentyn he was so scared he never made it past the beginning of the haunted house, he was dead weight on the floor and I couldn't get him off the floor for anything and I laughed so hard at him I almost peed my pants. I felt so bad well kinda that Quentyn was so scared and freaked out but it was fun taking my sister in law in it because she hates being scared and I love to scare people and I love to get scared and go to Haunted Houses, it is such a thrill.

Draydyn and his mohawk

2008-10-12T19:53:00.000-07:00

So one morning Draydyn was so worried about his hair looking cool and he said that he wanted his hair to be gangsta hair nad to look cool and so I said oh bud we should give you a mohawk and so while I was trying to convince him into letting me do it, and it did take awhile, he wasn't real sure about it. He finally let me do it and I have to admit he looked super cute with his hair in a mohawk and so he looked in the mirror and didn't really know what to think and he said he looked stupid and everyone would laugh at him, I kept telling him that he looked adorable. But then he messed up his hair and then Shelby came down and I was telling her about the mohawk and she wanted to see it and so he finally let me fix it again. I personally think he looks adorable and I'd be good letting him wear his hair like that everyday, but not Draydyn.

Quentyn's last football game

2008-10-12T19:29:00.001-07:00

Yesterday was a great day, even though it was cold and I had the flu. Quentyn's football team the Vikings were the only team in the Basin that was Undefeated in the City leagues for tackle football. They went to the super bowl and kicked butt. They played the Cowboys; it was cool because they were able to play on the High School football field, with a announcer and the boys thought it was awesome because they even had the scoreboard. They won with a score of 36-14. Quentyn is #25.
Okay and so when I went to take pictures of course the darn battery died and so a friend that I have had for a long time was so nice to take pictures and emailed them to me. Thanks so much Tera.
I have to admit that I am sad that the season is over, I love to watch Quentyn play sports and he is so very good at them. I'm not real sure who likes to have him play more him or me, I wonder if I was more excited that they won or Quentyn. I was lets just say so darn excited that they won that game and kicked the Cowboys' butts.

Just Crazy Busy

2008-09-22T09:35:00.000-07:00

Holy since school started it has been crazy with one thing or another that I don't have time to post or maybe it is just no ambition to post, or nothing to exciting going on in our lives that is worth reporting. Some of my friends needed a new post so here we go.... And you know who you are.
We have been busy with tackle football and Quentyn, he usually has practice 2-3 times a week and games on Wednesday and Saturdays, they are the Vikings and they have won every single game. They are really good, and they just have that winning drive that they are not giving up no matter what.
And then having Webelos den meetings every Tuesday and so that takes up another hour during the day but is alot of fun and I have a great assistant Den Mother and she is so fun and I like her alot and so that makes it all the better to do scouts.
Draydyn has been spending alot of time playing with his cousin and so they take turns coming over to each others houses about 3 times or so a week, he just went on the mountain riding dirt bikes with his Dad, Grandpa Ted, Uncle Brandon and his cousin Brendyn. They had a lot of fun spending the time together. Quenytn didn't want to go because he didn't want to miss his Football game on Saturday and so we got rained on a little bit during Football but it was a GREAT game.
Timberyn well she is still saying that school is borin, but I am wondering if she isn't being challenged enough in some areas of school, but I am going to give it a little more time to see if she gets any better with it, but today it was actually so nice while we were getting ready for school, she didn't complain once while she was getting ready and that is so not like her, I think it is because she had a little puppy that Nana gave her, but we weren't going to keep it and so Nana came and got it awhile ago because Brendyn wants it and so she will have a little episode after school today because it isn't her and there is no doubt in my mind about that, it will happen I know her so well. She had a little spat with the neighbor girls(her best friends) this last week and I couldn't help feel so bad for her she was so sad, her one little friend said that she didn't want to be friends with her anymore because she wanted to play with their other little friend that they hadn't been playing much with and so when she came home she was just crying so hard and my heart just ached for her and wished I could take away the pain she had. But then one of the little firls came over just a little later after it happened to play with Timberlyn and so that has been going okay, but her other little friend still hasn't came around YET, but they did talk yesterday at church, so it's just a matter of TIME now. I can honestly say that girls and their friends always bring so much DRAMA to the house. Boys could care less about each other and can all play together no matter what happens. They are all so different from one another.

Draydyn's first day of Preschool

2008-09-22T09:23:00.000-07:00

Sept 4, 2008
Draydyn started another year of preschool, he thinks that he is a PRO! He was so ready to get on the bus and go that he was up, ready and waiting for 45 minutes before the bus came. He didn't want his picture taken and so I tried anyways and the battery on my camera died right when I was getting ready to snap the pics. So then I had to wait to take one when he got off the bus after school. He wasn't to happy to have it taken, but believe me he did survive it. He gets a little mad because he can't go everyday like Quentyn and Timberlyn do. This is his second full year at Central Cove and they are great there. He goes on Mondays and Wendensday mornings and it is nice to have some time all by MYSELF... He wants to have homework sent home when he goes to and so we pretend he has homework and he loves it.

First Day of School

2008-08-28T19:41:00.000-07:00

Well school is finally in session again, and me personally am so excited. I couldn't wait for this day.
When I walked to get the kids from school on the way home, I asked the kids how their first day was and Timberlyn said, "I'll tell you when we get home" I said "OK" so then I turned to Quentyn and he just said it was "OK" and then I asked him about his teacher, she is new this year to Discovery, and he said "oh she is so fat" I told him that some people just can't help it, and so as we were walking along just talking about who was in their classes, Quentyn said " you know Mom this was so funny, my teacher went to sit in her chair and it broke when she sat in it," I was totally horrified and told him" you better not have laughed at her" he said "oh my gosh Mom it was so funny, everyone was laughing", I said," Quentyn that is not funny and you better not have laughed." and so he let me think that this really happened, a while had gone by and we were almost home and he said "just kidding my teacher really didn't break her chair, but I thought that she was going to."
So we had a little talk about laughing at people, because he knows what it is like to be teased and that it hurts peoples feelings and he should really think about others first.
Timberlyn's first day was "boring", and that's the only thing she said, I thought to myself, "it's only the first day of school and she is already bored," well I guess we are off to a great start, it only took Timberlyn half of the year to get bored last year. I really do think that she is a little bored, because she is so smart and comes right home and does her homework in like 2.5 seconds and they are all correct answers and so maybe she is to smart for her own good. And totally has the best teacher!!!
Quentyn on the other hand I practically have to beat him with the wooden spoon to do his homework, and that is no lie. I told Quentyn that he really needs to concentrate on his school work and not the GIRLS!!!! I hope he will really listen to it.
Draydyn will start school on Wednesday next week and goes from 8:30 a.m- 10:40 am so that will be nice and Draydyn loves school and thinks that it is so cool that he rides the bus.

Upodate on the school clothes shopping

2008-08-26T09:14:00.000-07:00

I think that next year I am going to send my beautiful daughter Timberlyn will somebody else to take school shopping. I love her so much but I could've killed her she takes forever and is so picky and wants EVERYTHING. Today while she was getting ready she put her way cute pink/white vans and she totally freaked out because she said exactly this " I look hidious and my shoes are so ugly and so big and fat and to much of my shoe laces are showing" Timberlyn got alot of way cute school clothes and Quentyn did to, he was just way easier and he wasn't even there to pick them out he only worries about his hair being spiked, putting on deoderant and cologne and mostly the GIRLS.
Draydyn wants to dress just like Quentyn and Joey and as long as he has is DC's or Etnies on then that is great. Life is great and I am so glad that school has started and we are on schedule again.

I am back to blogging well kinda.....

2008-08-26T08:58:00.000-07:00

I know it has been a little bit, okay it has been a really long time since I have blogged, sorry Cara. So school has started and I couldn't be more relieved about that, Quentyn also has started practicing for tackle football 3 times a week.
School however I think went good for the kids they didn't really say awhole lot about it, Quentyn was really nervous the night before and I don't think he got much sleep. He is in the 4th grade this year and is at Discovery again, his teachers name is Mrs. Rush and seems to be nice like the Grandma type( hopefully). A few of his friends are in his class which I think makes it easier for him and then the neighbor girl, a neighbor boy and then a friend of mine daughter is in theclass so that is good.
Timberlyn was up at the crack of Dawn getting ready and was down at the neighbors house (Shelby) getting her hair done because I can't do it the right way and just the way Shelby does it so I will let Shelby do the hair, shes only 7 but already acts like she is 18 what in the world am I going to do??? Any suggestions? But she has the best teacher this year Mrs. Vicki Nelson and the great thing is that she was her kindergarten teacher so she knows Timberlyn well and she knows about everybody in her class, her best friend Laney is in the class and more of her good friends so I think that it will be a good year, I am praying anyways.
Draydyn doesn't start school until either the 3rd or 4th of September and I will find out on Thursday which one, and he is excited to go back to Central Cove and ride the school bus. The only one that rides the bus. He will go to school 2 days a week and for 2 1/2 hours a day. He can't wait to go.

School Clothes shopping

2008-08-06T22:47:00.000-07:00

Well we are going to go school shopping on Saturday and that will be a eventful day I do believe Quentyn won't care what get him and I can get him shoes if they fit me then they will fit him so that is good, but Timberlyn is a different story big time she is such a pain and picky little thing to take to the store, good thing her Dad is going for some reinforcement and help hopefully. Draydyn he will wear anything but shirts with buttons on them. Oh man I love my kids but holy cow they sure drive me crazy sometimes I guess that is what happens when you are home with them all the time every single day.
Okay Cara now my blog is good for another 2 weeks haha loves

Quentyn

2008-08-06T22:41:00.000-07:00

So Quentyn has been with his father since the day after his Birthday and I have talked to him maybe 2 times he has been a little busy to call his mom and so I talked to him today and he said that he was going to Lagoon again on Saturday, riding his dirt bike playing with his friend Jace before he moves to Alaska and so then Joey and I went to lunch and saw Q ball at Arbys and do you think that he cried and said he wanted to come home when he saw me? No he cried when he saw Joey and said he wants to come home and misses us, how sweet is that? I asked Joey how that makes him feel and he says pretty special. So my Q ball will be home on Tuesday and I think I am ready for him to come hom, he is a big help when hes home and then he will be starting tackle football which he is so excited for.

I know it has been forever

2008-08-06T22:35:00.000-07:00

Cara this one is for you.
I havent even been doing anything but scrapbooking since my last post and watching nephews and I am just totally done with that. I know that sounds so rude but I have had Joeys sisters kids for a total of 1 month if you add up all the time they have been here and I am just over it.
But really all I have been doing is scrapbooking since I have like oh 10 years to catch up on because when Quentyn was born I only made like 3 pages and then just started scrapbooking again about 2 years ago so now I have 3 kids and thousands of pictures. My older sister whom lives in New Mexico is so nice she is going to help by scrapbooking some of them to help me get caught up. She is awesome thanks LeighAnn. But I have made alot of progress in the last 2 weeks I have done about 30 pages.

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.

Draydyn and the HUGE dumpster

2008-07-29T20:27:00.000-07:00

So I have this really funny story to tell about my 4 year old Draydyn and the neighbor boy down the street, about a month ago they were playing and I hadn't seen them for about 20-30 minutes or so which isn't unlikely for those 2, but I was getting ready to go to town and needed Draydyn to come home and get changed because I knew he would be muddy, when those 2 are together they are always into something or else come back covered in mud. So I called for them outside and nothing. I then asked Quentyn if he could go and look for Draydyn in the field because they weren't at the neighbors boys house so he reluctanlty went and yelled for him and nothing kept calling for his little brother getting nervous and scared thinking the worst like big brothers do and then all of a sudden he could hear crying so he walked towards the crying. Quentyn got to where the crying was coming from and couldn't believe it was coming from a huge white dumpster that is in the middle of the field. Draydyn and his little friend climbed into the dumpster, the neighbor boy could get out but Draydyn couldn't so Quentyn being the good brother that he can be climbed in and helped them out and can I say that they were clear to the bottom of this dumpster. I am just glad that it wasn't garbage day, or they would've had a nice ride to the county landfill. Draydyn will tell you not to climb in those big white dumpsters.

Quentyn's Birthday

2008-07-29T20:15:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it my little man is 10 years old and it just crazy. we had a party for him at the park nothing real big just some family and a few of his good friends over and it was a nice night not to hot which was really nice. We got Quentyn a scooter and a Nintendo DS and Draydyn our 4 year old has really been wanting a scooter well he saw me wrapping Quentyn's and said if he doesn't get a scooter for Quentyn's birthday then he is going to brake something of mine and trying to explain to Draydyn that it wasn't his birthday was a little difficult than it would've been to most 4 year old because he doesn't take no for an answer very well.

So Quentyn got 2 scooters for his birthday and naturally Draydyn thinks that one is his and was more excited than Quenytn, and a nintendo ds and then made out with alot of money I guess if I need a loan I will go to Quentyn.

4 wheeler ride

2008-07-29T09:07:00.000-07:00

So this last weekend we went on a 4 wheeler ride up on the mountain by Iron Springs and then up by Little and Big Brush Creeks with the kids and Joey's sister her husband and their kids we had alot of fun and the kids loved the ride and we took them down into the caves, before we went into little brush creek cave we ate some lunch and then we went in there and so Brandon, Julie and the kids, Joey all went down before me and so I was on my way down the trail mind I tell you it is a little steep well I started out at walking then it turned into a jog and then a run and then I fell face forward and hit some trees and rocks oh my gosh it hurt but it was so funny, we laughed but I sure was sore the next day and I have so many bruises all over my arms and legs.

Trip to Texas

2008-07-23T12:54:00.000-07:00

Well we took a family trip to Texas to see my side of the family and we had a blast it was a 21 hour drive just 1 way. So needless to say we drove there in the middle of the night, the kids were so good, at least for being in a car that long together. We left Vernal on Sunday the 6th of July around 4:30 pm and got to my Aunts house around 5:00 pm Texas time on Monday. While we were there Quentyn and Timberlyn went to day camp 4 of the 7 days that we were there and loved every second of it, they practically lived in the water. My Aunt and Uncle have a swimming pool in their back yard and they got in it when they got home from camp, I am surprised that they didn't turn into fish.

Draydyn was a little unhappy that he didn't get to go to camp, but he got to spend time with the adults and go to lunch and shopping everyday and enjoyed that and even got to go to a petting zoo. He really liked the goats and even chased them a few times. He wants to move to Texas and so does Quentyn, Joey would if it wasn't so humid.

Timberlyn doesn't want to move there but she sure didn't want to leave Aunt Barbara's, we just had so much fun there and we can't wait to go back. She made a few new friends at camp and will hopefully keep in contact with them until the next time and then they will be able to be lifelong friends.

While in Texas I was able to see an Uncle that I haven't seen in 20 years and was shocked but it was a good visit and then we went to the cemetery and was able to see where my grandparents are buried and took some pictures to add to my genealogy. I had a wonderful visit with my Aunt and Uncle and then my other Uncle and cousin, met a few of my Aunt's friends and was able to see a friend that I met when we went to New York last summer. I will always treasure the visit.

Joey had a blast riding motorcycles and he got to experience something that most people don't get to experience in their lives he rode in the Patriot Guards which is a group that ride with the funeral precession of a Armed Forces that has passed on and it was a great honor for Joey. My Uncle, Joey and my other Uncle went on 3 of them while we were there.
