Thankful!

Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for a lot of things. Right now I am thankful for my husband and the great date he took me on last night. I'm thankful for my in laws who are ALWAYS willing to help us when we need it, and even when we don't. :)

Last night my mother and father in law watched all of our kids and our neice so we could go on a double date with Jason and Anne (Jeremy's brother and wife). We had such a good time! It didn't start out very well for me. I worked all day until 5:30 then I stopped at the grocery store to get some candy to take to the movies, biggest mistake ever! It took me like 30 minutes to get in the store get the 3 things of candy and get checked out. There were so many people in the store the day before Thanksgiving.

Finally I made it home and I snuck into my bedroom to change my clothes and then we left. We went out for dinner at a Mexican food restaurant. It was my choice. We went to El Tenampa. I love that place. The food was great and the service was even better. We had some good conversation and just had a good time. We finished dinner with about 45 minutes before the movie was suppose to start. So dreading seeing the movie I gave suggestions of other things we could do. Jeremy, Jason and Anne all wanted to go see Harry Potter. I have seen the first Harry Potter about 7 years ago and had no desire to see any of the others. Well, we had some free movie tickets so I thought I can sit through it for Jeremy. I love him that much. ;) I didn't know the movie was 2 1/2 hours long. Longest part of my day. Before the movie started since we had some extra time we sat in one of those picture booths and took some fun pictures to remember our experience. I just scanned the print out so it doesn't look very good but at least you have an idea.



It was kind of fun to pretend we were all teenagers on a double date. Then into the movie we went. I didn't care for the movie but the lady sitting in front of me made it all worth it. There was one part where a snake pops out, we all knew it was coming we just didn't know when. It scared her so bad she jumped so high and flung her arms in the air. It was so funny!!! I laughed for the next 15 minutes of the movie. And I was laughing loud. I couldn't contain myself. Jeremy said he was about ready to move away from me cause he was so embarrassed. I don't know what it is but when I am pregnant and I start laughing it's just a laugh fest for at least 10 minutes each time. Finally Jeremy asked me for a piece of gum to get my mind off of it and focus on somethings else. It worked, but as soon as the movie was over and Jeremy brought it up again I starting the laugh attack again. Finally got composed again and when we got home we had to tell the inlaws about it. So then I laughed so more. I had a great time and a wonderful night. Thanks everyone!

I am also thankful for a warm home to live in. A nice car to get me to the places I need to go. I am thankful for the knowledge of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and the love they have for me. I am thankful for my children Daisha, Tucker, Bryton, Jillian and baby boy to come. Even on the days they make me crazy or kick and hurt me, I am still VERY thankful for each one of them and their personalities they bring to our family. I am thankful that the laundry is all piled up because that means I have clothes to wear. I could go on forever... I am thankful for my parents and the way they raised me. I am thankful for my sisters, and sister in law, that I can call when I need to talk about ANYTHING. I am thankful for the good health I have and the healthy family I have.

Thanks everyone for being a part of my life. If you are reading this you are important part of my life. Thanks for just being you! Love you all. Happy Holidays.

Just playing around

So my sister called me to inform me that it's been almost another 2 weeks since I have posted again. So here goes nothin'.
I have been trying to take more pictures than I had been. Even if it's just of the kids saying "take a picture of me mom". So I will share some of those with you.

This is one of those "take my picture mom" moments. Bryton is definately not camera shy.

Jeremy gave Jillian an oreo cookie to occupy herself with while we tried to get some work done.

We upgraded Jillian to the booster chair from the highchair. She loved it! I don't like it so much...to get out she crawls up on the table and if there is any kind of food left on the table she has made a mess. We use to use the highchair as a part time babysitter. Just give her food and she was trapped for a while. Not now.

Help yourselves to the breadsticks kids. :)

My little helper...I'm not sure if she wanted to help or if she wanted to be washed. :)

Well now that I look at the pictures I have taken lately I must be more snap happy during the day when Daisha and Tucker are at school. Wow! Oh well, at least I have some pictures to share.

Well, there you have it. A post. It's not much sorry. I have been working so much and being 23 1/2 weeks pregnant now I am just worn out all the time. I know stop with the excuses. Until next time...

uh oh

Uh oh, I just realized it's been over 2 weeks since I have posted something. We had Halloween...Daisha was a bride, Tucker was Spiderman, Bryton was Ironman, and Jillian was a black cat.







Halloween was a little confusing this year since it was on Sunday. We celebrated on Saturday with the church trunk or treat and then hung out at my brother and sister in laws house. They decorate their garage all scary. They do a great job!



The kids helped carve the pumpkins for along the walk way into the garage. Even Jillian got to help.





I have been working so much. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and every other Saturday from 9:30-6pm. It is interesting at work. I have to tell you this quick story. I was working with one of the new girls one day. She is recently married and pregnant. She is about 2 weeks behind me in her pregnancy. One day she was telling me that she bought an electric blanket so she could keep warm if the power ever went out....umm!!! It took all I had not to start laughing when she told me that. Then she said she was heart broken when her husband told her it wouldn't work. Oh wow. Some people!

Anyways...with me gone 3 days of the week sometimes 4, Jeremy has school on Tuesdays, and Thursdays and is helping with coaching girls basketball at Eagle High School. So he is gone from 9:30-6 or 7pm. Needless to say we don't see much of each other at all. I just keep telling myself it's only for another month and a half.

Well I am now 22 weeks along. I feel like I should be further along than that. I feel like I have gotten huge just in the last week or two. I was suppose to have an ultrasound on Tuesday to make sure baby was growing correctly and everything was ok. Well things just kept piling up...let me vent a little. Jeremy had basketball try outs (which I guess are more important than an ultrasound - if you couldn't tell that hurt me just a little), which meant I had to take Bryton and Jillian with me to my appointment, by myself. I wasn't too excited about that but I told myself I would make it work. About an hour and a half before my appointment Daisha's school called and told me she was throwing up. So I had to go pick her up. Now what do I do? Take a sick kid and two other kids with me to my ultrasound appointment by myself??? Not happening. I called them and just rescheduled. So my appointment is for this coming Tuesday the 9th. I will let you know how that goes.

My oldest sister Yvonne had her ultrasound and found out that she is having a girl. So they will have a total of 5 GIRLS. LOL. They wanted a boy and I wanted a girl. Something got messed up. :) j/k!

Well it's not much blogger friends but there's a little update. Sorry I am not very good at this stuff. Until next time...
