Boating weekend

This last week Brock and I got to go to idaho and spend some time with my family. It was a great time!!! Addi got to come stay and play with me during the week and we had such a good time. She is such a sweet little girl, i changed her diaper for her and she said thank you !!! hahaha i nearly laughed myself to death never once has a kid told me thanks for changing their diaper in fact usually they are trying to run away or kick and fight.. Also i got to hang out with my mom and edee and maddi and had a great time !! Also brock and i went to the Dr yesterday to see how things are going with the baby... Heart Rate was 165 and the little thing kept wiggling around in there like crazy. This is the 2nd time that a Dr. has told us that we have an extremely active child!! i just hope that when we get to meet it we will be able to keep up !!! so on the baby front everything is going great.... now i just have to tell my job !!! wish me luck !!!

$dollar store$ AWESOME

Alright so... the ther day as i was blog surfing i came upon a blog that declared LA's Awesome cleaner stuff to be totally awesome and especially for 1$. well I have been slacking the last little bit with being an awesome cleaner so i decided to test it out and see how awesome it was. Well...... went to the dollar store picked up some of the regular awesome stuff and some of the awesome calcium, rust and lime.I am TOTALLY and AWESOMeLY IN LOVE with it. Living in a condo there is more hard water then you could ever imagine in the kitchen, bathroom and i guess anywhere else you would have water. In our shower there were things in there that i thought a jack hammer wouldnt get off, and my new AWESOME cleaner got off i couldnt believe it. and trust me by my history of blogging you can see that i really dont blog about little things this was a HUGE event !!! and it only cost me 1$. there are a bunch of other products that they have and as soon as i can get myself over there i am going to buy at least one of each. here are some differences between my shower

I just sprayed it on and let it sit for a couple of minutes and got a scrub brush and rubbed it in then washed it off and this is what i got i couldnt believe it !!!!! its AWESOME

joining the club!

well..... everybody knows already but i have gotten told a couple of times already that i should make a blog post out of it so.... here it is. IN january 2011 brock and i will be joining the parents club. We had our first doc appointment and sure enough there is something in there wiggling around like crazy.  our "official" due date is Jan. 19 2011 but we want to try for a 1/11/11 baby !!! We are excited and very very nervous!!!  BUT I have been getting some practice with babies working in the NICU, which i absolutely LOVE!!! those sweet little babies are so precious I am so glad that things worked out and i got the job!!! so thats our story !! SUPRISE  (i will post ultrasoundpics as soon as i figure out how)

Long Time

It has been quite a while since I have posted and there are a few things that we have been  up to so......... here we go.

I got to go to Boise with my family and watch Eden run at the state track meet. Eden is a returning state champion in the 100m  hurdles and the 300 m hurdles. Coming into the state competition she was placed 2nd in the 100 m hurdles because there was one girl that recorded a faster time then her. so we were really worried that she might get beat and lose her state title. BUT.... i will let you be a judge for yourself with her pictures. I just have to say that I always knew that eden was fast but i mean when we would say race you to the house or something like that i felt like i kept up with her (maybe i should have run track hahaha) j.k but eden just must have been being nice to me.  We are so proud of eden and how hard she works to do her best !!!!

NEXT ITEM OF BUSINESS

Brock graduated and we went and got to watch him recieve his diploma. There is something about being done with school that makes you breathe a little easier. I would have to say that school was probably Brocks least favorite thing to do in the world, but he stuck with it and got it over and done with.Brocks cousins Cole and Jess also graduated. CONGRATS GUYS He is such a good guy and I am so proud of him for graduating and being such a good husband.

Sundee School

OKey dokey.. soo this might be another boring one. but i thought it was funny.... Brock and I just got called a couple of weeks ago to be the 14yr olds sunday school teachers. here are some of my favorite comments
(talking about Moses & the 10 commandments- movie)
Boy1- He turned the water into blood and the ghost came down and killed all the 1st born.
Boy 2- Did that really happen
Boy 1- NO duh you can't believe everything that you see on TV or in movies gosh havent you seen harry potter.

(I thought that was hillarious- comparing the 10 commandments to harry potter !!!! ps i did tell him that, that really happened)

I asked " if you were going on a trip in the woods what would you bring"
Boy 1- some matches
Girl 1- a tent
etc. etc.
Boy 3- " my wife or my mom so they could cook for me and do my laundry"

(another classic)

Thats it for now. I am sure we will have more in a couple of weeks !!!

Special &Favorite

WARNING: brock told me that my last post was really boring and nobody likes to read boring posts. So unless you want to read something about me my mom and eden .... it might be best if you skipped this post.

With that said here we go !!!!!



This last weekend my mom and eden came down to watch a couple of teams (that have been recruiting eden) play in a volleyball tournament. I always love it when they get to come down because we always have SO SO much fun together. So friday night we went and ate at Benihana, and of course ordered 2 extra orders of rice to go--- thats just what we do..... and since the tournament was in orem we drove down there and got a hotel. ( a special thanks to dear sweet brock for always letting me run away with my mom and sisters when they come around) We had some time to spare so we went to check and see if the hot light was on at KRISPY KREME and we were in luck because it was and at 10:00PM we sat down to some HOT doughnuts. then went back to our hotel I would love to go into every detail of our night and tell you that we got in our PJs and told scary stories to eachother... but whats more on my mind is MAW SPECIAL & FAVORITE. Now to some these names are just crazy ! but MAW got her name because we she is our ma and thats how addi says it but eden and I like to throw on a bit of a southern accent... but Special & Favorite go wwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaayyyyyy....... back .(ps. we were talkin funny talk in the bathroom at the tournament and this lady said "ok I have got to ask where you guys are from." We all broke down laughing and said Southern Idaho . HAHAHA) The story goes somewhat like this......
One summer my mom decided that she was going to "trim up" all of her bushes and trees around the house and give them a makeover. She was lucky enough to have 2 daughters- 1 that could drive and 1 that was pretty strong. ME being them both (haha j/k eden is strong, i could just drive) So she went about cuttting like Edward Sizzorhands- any thing that got in her way got cut off. So me & eden tried to keep our distance.....Our jobs were to load up the back of the truck with all of the branches (or whatever) that got cut off drive it to the dump and empty it and then come back and do it all over again. after a couple of days of doing this Eden & I were sick & tired of picking up branches & driving them to the dump and throwing them out of the back of the truck. our arms and legs had taken a beaten up from doing all of this. We had been complaining all day and ended up calling eachother a few names sisters shouldn't and my mom had had enough...... She gave us the talk that nice girls don't talk that way to eachother blah blah blah. So the "NICE" names that we came up with for eachother Were special-EDEN and favorite-Me. because eden is "special" if ya get my drift and eden thought that my mom favored me. The names stuck and we made them permanent. One time on our way from the house to the dump the branches kept falling out onto the road and since i was driving i would make special jump out and grab them and throw them back in. -----I know it doesnt seem like that hefty of a task but after doing it for days and over and over... it becomes wearing on ya. ----anyway special had just made herself an icecream cone before we left so she was ticked off it was her turn to throw the branches in in the first place.... so i thought that it would be funny to pull a trick on her. as soon as she came to get back in the truck i started going and made her walk for a while... most people stop and say "come on just let me back in" NOT SPECIAL she just kept running by the side so i picked up speed a little bit until at one point she was at a sprint she threw her freshly made icecream at me and i slammed on the breaks----- She ran into her open door and it knocked her down.. then she got up jumped in, retrieved her icecream cone wiped it off with her finger and started eating it again. I cannot think of another time when i have ever laughed so hard for so long.
Also throughout this time I LOVED the wreckers (michelle branch) and I had just gotten their CD. I made eden listen to it over and over and over all summer and it drove her crazy.... to the point where she actually liked it. .... There were sooo many more events like this that happened.
That summer was one of my most memorable. Eden& I got to develop our relationship and we had a lot of fun doing it. (our poor trees looked like they were dead by the end of it but they did grow back !!)Sorry mom that we complained so much about it.... I always thought of eden as a friend but that summer we became Special & Favorite friends!!! We went through a rough patch there for a bit and we have been working on things and being able to spend this last weekend with herI am pretty sure that I HAVE MY SPECIAL BACK and i couldnt be happier !!!!! Edee-eedle my needle- special-E-ETC.... I LOVE YOU !!! Good luck with picking where to play !!!!

PS. I love Brit & Maddi too!!!! oh and Dex

Suprise!!!

This last weekend Brock and I had so much fun! we got to go to Idaho on Thursday night because Brock had to work in Pocatello on Friday. ( I always like when he gets to go to idaho for work because then i have an extra excuse to go there) Even better this past weekend eden & maddi were out for spring break.... So We made all of these big plans for all of us to go a movie and hang out on friday.... It didnt happen !! but it was alright we got to still hang out at my parents house and then we made a quick trip to idaho falls to get supplies for our easter feast. We went to Sam's Club!!! if you have ever seen us shop together it is hillarious, especially when there are samples!! & if we have ever ran in to you or ran over your child we are very sorry... sometimes that happens !! On friday night brit chris and addi & the boys got to come down, it is always so much fun when we all get together.
saturday morning the boys woke up early to go get the cows taken care of. and us girls got out of bed a little bit later. then later that night the boys went to the priesthood session and it was Sage's first time !!!
Sunday morning we woke up (the boys were already gone to go take care of the cows) and got things ready for conference and the easter egg hunt. On saturday night madeleine had spent hours filling up easter eggs. so eden went and hid them all over our yard for addi, maddi, jack&holden. really addi and maddi were there only ones that got to find them. we watched conference and then ate Lunch !! which was fantastic. then the hunt was on for the golden egg !!! (every year my parents hide a egg with a note inside that says you have found the 100 dollar egg.) this year it was outside and our (1)first clue was that it was on the front half of the property. which really wasnt a clue at all. (2) on the front half from the green house over. (3) on the font half between the drive ways (4) on the right side of the center driveway (5) in the bark area in the trees on the right. (5) it is touching the ground (6) can be seen -not buried (7) on the west half. and finally........ Dexter found it !! that lucky duck..... then we watched (somewhat) the 2nd session of the day of conference. after that everybody went home.
ON our way home we stopped at phil & jills house and visited for a while. THEN WE WENT HOME........... TO A FLOOD ............ I opened up the door and i smelled some sort of a stench coming from inside. and i thought to myself. ok i know that i washed the dishes before we left and i know that we took the garbage out... what could it be.... so i walked in the door and stepped into... A PUDDLE ..... OUR CONDO WAS FLOODED. so i turned on the light and all i could hear was drip drip drip drip. I COULDNT BELIEVE IT. LONG STORY SHORT we moved our furniture- pulled up our carpet- turned off the water-fixed the broken sink- and have had the fans going on the carpet for the past couple of days !!! So if you come and knock on my door make sure you knock really hard because i will be in the back confined to my bedroom until this is all cleared up !!!
