Halloween FUN!!!!

So I was feeling a little "crafty" the other day, and I LOVE Halloween so I decided to make some treats! Here was the final product!

I made chocolate dipped oreos and pretzels! It was so much fun, I used orange melting chocolate and a "secret ingredient" and had a blast! So did my girls! They were helping TOO much so we went and got them a project!

And here it is...a spooky halloween house if I have ever seen one! I am a little OCD about stuff looking really cute, so I tried to assist as good as I could. But that did not last long at all...between Lex and Quin eating all the decor...Tais and I made due!

Aren't these girls so dang cute!

This is pretty much all Lexi did during the whole thing...but she had fun! She wouldn't let the frosting bag out of her sight by the end!

Before and After...

Well, this is really embarrassing to post but I had to do it! This picture is a before picture of my "computer room" that turned into a JUNK ROOM gone bad! I got doing so much stuff and you all know how it gets, things just get tossed, and piles build. Well I have vowed not to do that anymore! I went to my darling sister Sharice's house the other day, and she inspired me to tackle the computer room! Her house is so cute and organized, so I am trying to turn over a new leaf and be like her!! LOVE YOU REESE!!! As you can see I could barely get in the door...bad I know...but it was only like that for a bit...I swear!

Here is another view of the place!

And now.......drum roll please....

It still needs a little work, but at least I can walk in! Ha Ha! I am looking for a big desk to put in there so if you know of any let me know!

Reasons I have not been blogging...:)

Here we are...alive and well! Just busy is all! We had a really fun summer and are excited to have the seasons change! (Except for Lexi, she is not liking the shoes and socks idea...her feet get "fweaty" she says) Anyway the girls were being really quiet one night so I went snooping, and here they were in my bathroom playing salon with each other! Don't they look GREAT?!?!?



This night we had a movie night! Trev was at school and I had a few extra kids for the night, so we pulled out a movie and popcorn and away we went! I should have done an after picture of the popcorn covered floor!!! They were all really good, and they had a blast so that was worth it! There is Quin, Nix, Lex, Tais, Kin, and Kod...all so cute!!!



Here is Tais on her first day of Preschool...I know I'm a bad Mom that I'm posting them right now...but better late than never...RIGHT???

Here is my cute little family. This was actually Trev's birthday (..in June..oops). Trevor is such a great Dad and wonderful husband! I'm really proud that he decided to go back to school to get his Masters degree, we will be done next spring, and can't wait!! Happy Birthday Trev!!!

And here is our little ADDI...our cute little cousin! She is living in Moab right now and are so excited that we can see her more while she is close! And MO too, love ya girl!

New News :(

So here is what's been going on. Two weeks ago I started having some really bad stomach pains...worse that labor pains (ladies you can understand)!!! BAD! So I tried to be tough about it and tylenol myself up over the weekend, thinking it would pass. I was so wrong, the pain started on a friday and by sunday night I honestly thought I was dying. So monday morning my amazing doctor, Dr. Lunt, met me at his office in St. George to find out what was going on. He did an ultra sound and found out that I had a cyst the size of a golf ball on my right ovary, and a lot of blood in my stomach. Long story short, he ran me to surgery and found I had not only a cyst on my right ovary, but an ectopic pregnancy in my right tube and something 'supicious' in my left tube. Not a very fun thing to find out. But thanks to my amazing husband, precious little girls, caring mom and dad, and loving family, I am doing much better. The surgery went better than planned and I'm feeling better than I have in a long time! Thank you everyone who helped by bringing dinner and helping with my girls, you will never know how much you helped! I have some really cute pics of what else has been going on so I will post those soon, just thought you would like to know that I have not fallen off the blogging wagon!!!

Past few weeks, in a nut shell...

The girls had some friends over the other day, they wanted to play in the pool. They had so much fun, but of course, living in Cedar, it was freezing. So everyone had to get into towels and have a treat!


Here is Dagen, Kodi, Tais, Lex, and Jagger!

Tais and Lex got some new goggles, and were trying them out in the bathtub! So I walked in and asked how they were doing, and this is how Lexi popped up! HILARIOUS, she couldn't see a thing, but said there was no water in her eyes!!!

This is how the girls have been sleeping lately! Lexi wakes up all the time with a nightmare that there are baby snakes in her bed. So she sneaks in with Tais! Tais sleeps so sound, she could have snakes in her bed, and she would never know! The other night I went into their room, I thought they were asleep...NOPE! Lex was in sissy's bed, tickling her face and singing her a song....all the while...Tais was passed out cold. It was pretty cute!

And then there is TROUBLE....my sweet little Lex! NOT!!! I was getting ready for church, and Tais came running in telling me to come see. I turned the corner to see this......it was all I could do I to not laugh. So I ran to my camera and tried to act mad. Hey, it could be worse...right?

Family Fun Weekend!

So, we went up north for my cousin Ben's farewell and decided to make it a kids weekend! It was so much fun. We stopped at Thanksgiving Point and went to the Dinosaur museum...let's just say Trev and I carried the girls through most of it because they were scared. But...live and learn! They did have some really fun hands on stuff that they liked, here they are digging for bones!

Here I am with my darling husband!

Aren't these two great posers? Right after we took this pic, Lex fell and landed on her pop, so at least we got her before she was soaking wet!

We meet Trevor's sister Mindee and her little family in Sandy at the Mayan! Our girls thought it was the coolest place ever! Especially when the 'raindrops' from the divers got them!

Here is Jacqueline, Lex, and Tais, and Adam was there too, but I missed the picture!

The next day after we stayed at "Bradley Bear's", that's Trevor's really good buddy Brad. But my girls have adopted the name bradley bear for him, he loves it I'm sure! We headed to the Hogle Zoo, so here are the girls on the tigers!

This is how they rode through the whole park, who needs a double stroller!

Here is Trev with his two sweethearts, they are waiting for the elephant show to start! Thats all Lexi talks about, is how big the elephants poop was! It was impressive!

We had so much fun, and it was so good to see all of my family! Of course I forgot to take pictures of the rest of the weekend, but I'm glad I got what I did!

Spring Pic's!!!!

So here they are! After all the sickness and cold, we have prevailed, and here is the outcome! Our two darling little girls (and the fake bunny)!!! I finally got the girls pictures taken in St. George. And for all you Mom's out there who know just how frustrating "getting pictures" can be, we are lucky they turned out as cute as they did! Here are Lexi and Taislee totally showing off their very different personalities! Lexi is a little jokester, and Tais is all but posing for her photo shoot!!!


For all of you that know our little Lexi-bear...ATTITUDE!!!

You should have seen us trying to keep Lexi's legs together in this one!

And here is our BIG GIRL...she had been practicing in the mirror all morning for these!

We love you girls...HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!!!!!!
