Our mountain...

2011-05-22T12:52:00.000-07:00

We moved into our new house Right in the middle of winter and so they never got a chance to come grade our yard, well this spring has been SOOO wet that they still have not gotten around to grading our yard... so for now we have a HUGE mountain of dirt in our backyard.... Well the kids have learned to love it, they pretend like they are Camping and build forts on it..... They will be so sad when they finally come grade our yard and they no longer have there mountain!!

:)

2011-04-23T20:04:00.000-07:00

We went to the movie hop last night and Braxton kept singin out loud in the movie.... Braxton is ALWAYS singing and sometimes paul just cringes ( he wants him to be a tough football player not the next justin beiber LOL) So when we left the movie Braxton was once again singing... I told paul ou never know maybe he WILL be the next Justin Beiber... Braxton says... " ya maybe I will be the next justin beiber... or oprah..." oh man we laughed forever... that kid is so random.. I just love him!!!

Easter fun @ grandmas house!

2011-04-23T19:54:00.000-07:00

I uploaded these pictures Backwards ... oh well...

My mom gave gun some new puzzle for easter and he was already busy doing and undoing them ;)

Waiting for there surprises from grandma

Gunner asked me at one point... " mom do you fink I am selfish" ???? not sure what he did LOL

Easter egg hunts

2011-04-23T19:43:00.000-07:00

We took the kids to some easter egg hunts around town today and man they got a ton of crap!!!! we started out in riverside and then headed out to Belmont to there little one out there...

Paul almost broke the swingset ( i have to remind him that he is not a kid anymore quite often <3)
I promise you i don't love gunner more but Paul always took the older kids to there part of the hunt and i followed gunner around so that is why I only have pictures of him hunting eggs :)

Me and my not so much a baby anymore gunner :(
He tries to pull the "i"m so cool faces " too... so annoying... is it to much to ask for a cute picture of them smiling!!
Braxton and Detmer
Cambria and Brinley
The kids with the Easter Bunny at the egg hunt.... Gunner has been so funny all day about meeting the easter egg hunt he told me... "mom dat was so fun da easter bunny was comfertable" and then a few hours later he said "mom why dint da easter bunny talt??" I said I don't know buddy..." is it tause hes not s tid lite me" yes bud I am sure it is... bunnies don't talk... Gun... "OOOHHHH" lol

Opening the eggs to see what treasure they got!
Adi and Gunner

2011-04-23T19:31:00.000-07:00

My kids are crazy... here is proof that it takes me 5 times to even try and get a decent picture of my kids!!!! Braxton and Cambria want to look "cool" so they are always pulling stupid faces ( and gun tries to do whatever they do ) so it takes me yelling at them "just stand there cute and smile NO STUPID FACES" 10 times to get a cute picture!!! We have no yard right now so my poor kiddos have to play baseball in the driveway LOL... anyways on with the purpose of this post... My Most favorite dance teacher from highschool has this cutest little boy Dylan... he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor ... Mandy holds a super special place in my heart and was ALWAYS so good to me :) It make my heart hurt that her family has to have such a huge Trial in there lives!! They were selling these cute shirts and bracelets ( gunner has his on but its covered) as a fundraiser to pay for those horrible bills that will come along with his tumor!! My kids LOVE them and tell all there friends about Dylan just like they have known him all there lives... it is so cute!!!! I pray for mandys family daily and hope for a miracle... i truly believe they do happen!!!!

Gunner.....

2011-04-12T18:02:00.000-07:00

A couple cute little conversations me and gun had....

Me:( gunner just got done with the bath) hey go get your lotion
a couple seconds later
me : Wow that was fast gun...
Gun : ya I'n fast lite Mendenhall
Me ( not sure if I heard him right) what did you say
Gun: I'n fast lite Rothlesberger
Me : no what did you say the first time
Gun ... you know mom Pittsburgh steelers
Me I know but what did you say the first time
Gun ... (hesitating a little) I'n fast lite mendenhall ... LOL
his daddy ( a HUGE steelers fan) was SUPER proud LOL

The other day gun walked out of my bedroom in my bra so paul was teasing him and calling him a girl... he looke Paul straight in the face and in kindof a growly voice said " dad I an not Drill... I am a boy..... see loot at my hair its BOY hair "

the other day I was doing a client in my salon and we walked out to see Gunner standing in the kitchen pants down to his ankles eating and apple..... he is seriously the most random child ... I love him!

Girls day!!

2011-04-06T16:52:00.000-07:00

This past weekend it was Cambria's friend Jordyns birthday and she wanted to have a girls day with me Cam and her mom for it... We started the day off by taking them to see Beastly and then went shopping after... we decided while we were in the mall for the movie we might as well shop around there for a minute ( the girls only wanted to go to Justice so this did not make them happy) we stopped in Dillards to see if we could find a swimsuit for Braxton and got distracted by these cute CUTE 75.00 miss me shorts these girls have on in this picure....
Me and Staci fell in love with them (but hated that they were 75.00) We decided to JUST let them try them on... Well of course they LOVED them and I think me and staci LOVED them even more than they did... they seriously were so stinkin cute on these little girls....( still couldn't get over the 75.00 price tag though ( especially when my daughter is 8) ) They both begged and bEgGeD and BEGGED.... I called paul ( mostly to warn him just in case I came home with them )
and told him that his Daughter was BEGGING for a pair of 75.00 shorts ( i thought at that point he would instantly say NO) but no his response was ... "well if Staci buys them for Jordyn then you better buy them for Cambira ... you don't want her to feel left out " ( WTH?????not the response I expected from HIM) WEll to make a long story shorter... staci did not end up buying them for Jordyn so I go out of there without them..... ( ps I still really wanna go back and get them for her, but then I remind myself she is only 8 and if I start now what the hell kind of things am I going to have to buy when she turns 13) I told her if she wanted them bad enough I would pay half so she is diligently doing anything and everything to earn money right now so we can go back and get them LOL

Gunner and his puzzles...

2011-04-06T16:49:00.001-07:00

He is obsessed with puzzles and I am not going to lie... I love it... I love that he likes to do something that stimulates his little brain....

He does these same 4 puzzles over and over and over again everyday... I think its time to buy some new ones :)

2011-03-25T08:57:00.000-07:00

My friend put pink and purple extensions in Cambrias hair for her birthday present!!!

Gunners new addition to his Batman room!!!!

2011-03-25T08:25:00.000-07:00

Since Gunner is so obsessed with Batman I found thee Cutest Batman room on Pottery barn ( I am SOOO not a fan of character rooms so this was a big step ) but when I saw the one from pottery barn it was so classy looking ... not cheap kmarty looking..... So I gave in and bought it.... It is so stinkin cute but the challenge now is finding ways to decorate it.... You can find alot of cheapy batman stuff, but its REALLY hard to find classic batman stuff... ...... So i find myself making stuff ... so this was the newest addition... a cute little toy box!!!!
( if anyone EVER sees anything classic batman PLEASE tell me.. it really is the most difficult stuff to find/ of if anyone has some awesome idea please tell )

The Grinch visited the salon!!!

2011-03-25T08:23:00.000-07:00

The day before Christmas we had the grinch visit the salon.... I was so sad my kids didn't get to see him !!!

YUMM,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

2011-03-25T08:22:00.000-07:00

Gunner just had to have this HUGE rice crispy treat when were shopping... I swear the thing was bigger than his head!!

BATMAN!!!!

2011-03-25T08:16:00.000-07:00

So my son pretty much thinks he is the REAL batman.... I bought him these batman pajamas one day and he wears them pretty much everyday..... he would go EVERYWHERE in them if I would let him.....

My sister gave him this batman hat for Christmas too and he wears it EVERYWHERE too ( thanks jame )
He had climbed up here and kept telling me that he was going to do a front flip off the railing... it took alot of convincing that he was NOT the REAL batman to get him to not try it....

He is so funny though... he seriously wears that cape and mask everywhere... now that most of my clients come to my house to get there nails done, they dont hardly recognize him without them LOL!!!

Bowling with the kiddos!

2011-03-23T14:06:00.000-07:00

There was lazers cause it was cosmic bowling ( you can't see them in the pictue :( ) but gunner was like break dancing around them... it was so cute!

This is gunners excited face.... I love it !!

Don't ask me what is up with those socks... she had boots on and so when she took them off to bowl she looked like a dork LOL

Braxton was the craziest bowler ever... even WITH the things in the gutters he still managed to get the ball in the craziest places... it ended up in the lane next to us one time... stuck on the gutter blockers a couple... I think we had to have the workers fetch his ball 7 times that night!
Gunner Cambria and Adi!

Love my sweet husband!!

2011-03-23T14:05:00.000-07:00

Gunner and his buddy Gage!!!

2011-03-23T13:53:00.000-07:00

I have never in my life seen 2 kids that play so well together as these 2 do... it is the cutest darn thing to watch them play together.... They kept me smiling all night :)

Gunner let gage wear his batman mask ( which never happens... he is pretty possesive over that thing) and he wore his batman cape and hat and they would run around calling each other Batman and Robin... it was so cute!!!

Here gunner is Reading his batman book to gage..... it was so cute... Gage was totally into it like gunner was reading it word for word and gunner made up his own little story by the pictures as he went :)

Happy St. Patricks day!!!

2011-03-23T10:32:00.001-07:00

Happy St. Patricks Day!!!!

Green bug juices and....
Rainbow cupcakes!!!
Gunner did not wanna wear Green... i kept telling him he had to cause it was st. patricks day and he kept saying... "where we doind for st. patricks day" I told him no where you just have to wear green or the kids will pinch you ... his response ..." then I will beat them up".... So we finally compromised on this brown shirt with the tiniest bit of green on it.... the remainder of the day her kept asking me funny questions like... is st patrick going to bring me presents??? where is st patrick...

Disney on Ice

2011-03-23T10:22:00.001-07:00

update :)

2011-03-23T10:05:00.000-07:00

SO I keep having these ( REALLY) good intensions of getting caught up .. but then I get really overwhelmed because I am about oh ..... maybe.... 8 months behind.... so when I think about getting caught up I get super overwelmed and I never do it ... I really want to eventually print this into a book so I kept wanting to get Caught up for that purpose only, but Its not going to happen ... SOOOO .... I have decided to just start from now... and try and just keep caught up... that way maybe I will actually blog :)

So for today just a few funny things my kids have said....

While playing trouble one night... Braxton was having te darndest ( if thats a word) time counting his spaces out right... I finally said to him... Braxton I am not so sure you know how to count.... his response was... " mom I know... its cause I am colored blind " .................???? LOL i had no Idea one had anything to do with the other but hey.....

Gunner Is a pretty tough boy, and sometimes Braxton definatly is not the toughest.... Gunner knows this so anytime Gunner gets hurt he will say.... Mom see I am a football player and braxt isn't ....

Gunner come to the gym with me every morning and so the other morning when we were leaving... he started singing at the top of his lungs.... " I like big buts and I cannot lie" ... AAAHHH....... not sure where he learned that one, but I walked out hoping no one knew that was my child and everyone got a good laugh out of it :)

The mind of a 3 year old.....

2011-01-22T15:06:00.000-08:00

Gunner is by far the best entertainment most days... the things he come up with just make me laught so hard, I wish he could stay 3 forever :) here are a few of his most recent fnny phrases.....

We were at the grocery store one day and i was getting ready to pay... of course Gunner started pushing the buttons on the debit maching ( i swear kids jst can't resist those things) I told him it was time for me to pay and he said... "no watch out mom... let da pro do it "

The other day I told him that I hated him getting big and asked him if he could stay little forever... he looked at me and said..."no mom... tause if I drow bid I can't clean my own room and den you will have to" ( he is my clean freak child )

We have now moved into our new house and he keeps referring to our old house as " the short house" "mom are we going bat to da short house " LOL it makes me laugh everytime :)

today he had an apple and I asked him how he got it... i asked him if he climbed on the counter ( which he knows he is not supposed to do ) he said to me " no I din't twimb on da tounter... I dust drew bid... dot da apple... den drew little adin" Not sure if he really thought I would believe it but it sure made me smile...

I said to him today... gun are you a turkey... Gun " no are you a chicken "

I love how 3 year olds think :)

2010-11-26T11:47:00.000-08:00

Today Cambria was asking gun if he wanted me to have a baby.. well then she said.. C-"hey gun where do you think mom will get a baby?" Gun- mmmm.... probly at walmart...Cam- I don't think you can get them there...Gun- yu huh... I sawd dem dere ... LOL if only it were that easy, I would probably have another one already LOL

then a couple minutes later he was laying with his dad ( nothing new there he is 100% a daddies boy) and I said... gun you better come lay with me or i will just have to have a baby and he can lay by me...gun- k you have your baby and I will have my daddy .... what a little stinker!!!

Knock Knock

2010-11-17T17:29:00.000-08:00

Gunners fun little phrases....

2010-11-07T09:39:00.000-08:00

I know this isn't much fun for you to read, but this is my only form of journaling so this is more for my sake than anything.....

Gunner I super obsessed with creamies... he had asked us for like 1 weeks straight to "go buy him tweamies" well one morning while the kids were getting ready for school he came down and said
g " mom I told you FIVE times to doe buy me tweamies...so doe det dhem NOW"
so later that day he asked Paul to"doe det him tweamies " and so we stopped at the store, paul called me from inside and asked what kind he wanted I asked him and he said he wanted the "lellow and pink ones" paul came out and handed Gun the bag and he had only bought pink ones' so gun says to him " dad I why did you only buy me one of dem, I wanted two of dem doe det me da lellow ones" LOL

When he got up the other morning he got all dressed an came out in shorts and a tank, I looked at him and told him it was going to be cold so he better wear something else... he grabbed my hand and took me to the window and said..." nu uh mom... Yook .. its a summer day out dere..." if the sun is out and there is no snow on the ground it is a "summer day" and he insists on wearing shorts!!!!! I don't quite know what I will do with him LOL

Paul was fixing a light fixture in cams room one day and he dropped something and yelled Gosh Dammit... gun looked at him and said.. "dad don't say dat say funny goose "

He can't say his G sound so when you ask him what his name is he says "dunner" so the other day I was trying to get him to say it right and I said
me "hey gun is your name Gunner or Dunner "
G: "its dunner mom"
Me "are you sure cause I am pretty sure its Gunner"
G: With the most intense look on his face he say" MOM my Friends tall me dunner so my name is dunner"

Cambria is OBSESSEd with Justin Bieber so anytime we see a kid with longer hair he asks me "mom is dat justin bieber "

as most of you know we are building a house and he told paul today " our house is just about done huh dad" we still have a month and a half :)

I always say gun are you my baby boy
"no mom I am a bid boy"
me: i don't want you to grow up"
Gun: "otay mom I will grow little " :) :) :O)

he says cambrias name tambia so if I tell him "say CAM-Bri-a " he looks at me so serious and says TAM-BI-A" lol he just can't do it LOL!!!

He is so much fun right now and if I don't get better about writing his funny little phrases down i am going to be so sad... he is growing up to fast and I HATE it!!!

Day 3 LEGOLAND!!!!!!

2010-08-15T10:21:00.001-07:00

WE loved legoland, such a perfect place for these little kids.... it wasn't the warmest day ever so we didn't get to go to the legoland water park , but it was fun anyway..

Heres the kids when we first got there...
I thought this was so fun, this was at the restraunt that we went to, they had these little lego tables the kids could play with while they were waiting... best thing ever, I think every restraunt should have these :)
Cam and Jax with the lego darth vader.... amazing that his whole thing was legos...

This was the funnest little ride, me and angel got soaked and it was cold, but we laughed so hard... we both were trying to hide behind each other the whole time ;)

Gunner couldn't wait to go on this slide, but he didn't think it looked so fun once he got up there...
Paul decided it was to late to turn around and just pushed him down... so funny, but the poor kid hated it....

The stores also had lego tables ...
He crashed half way through the day :)

Jax made a hot dog out of legos

Cambria was to funny she totally obeyed all the traffic laws LOL, if there was a stop light she would stop on red and wait tell it turned green, the boys were all over the road!
These lego towns amazed me, I can't believe every ounce of them is made out of legos, someone has alot of time on there hands!

My Aunt angel with all the kids and the lego guy!

Gunner loved this little town they had, he still tells me he wants to go to his house at yegoyand :)

Day 2 ...
Today we woke up and started our journey to San Diego....

we stopped at some Casino for breakfast and first thing when we got there Gunner opened one of those syrup packets and dumped it all down the front of him..

I had to take him into the bathroom and literally bathe him in the sink clothes and all...

From there we headed to cali..... at one point in the desert it hit like 115 or somethin like that and Paul thought he would be much cooler with his shirt off LOL.....
We made a few stops on the way and FINALLY made it to california.... when we got there all the kids wanted to do was swim in the pool...

Day 1 of our trip to San diego

2010-08-14T13:23:00.001-07:00

Our first day we stopped halfway in vegas for the night the kids were so good on the ride there! I was not was familiar with the way the GPS worked and I just typed in Exacaliber thinking it would take us there ... well that was definatly not he case, we ended up like 25 miles south of where we needed to be ....we knew we were going to far, but I just kept telling paul "your sister promised me it would never take us to the wrong place " LOL boy was I wrong, well we got turned around I typed the address in this time and it took us right there.... by this time the kids were getting a little anxious and the GPS kept telling us ' turn left.. keep left ... etc"out of nowhere gunner yelled "Ok we'll be left " so cute ..... it was super hot so we didn't do much, but it was still fun...

We stayed in the exacalibur and there was this section that was on like a hill, well gunner decided it looked like a hill and started rolling down it.. it was so stinkin funny, I was not prepared for it so I had to hurry and dig my camera out of my purse and take a picture so the pictures aren't the best

Earwhigs and Box elder ?!?!?

2010-08-14T13:09:00.000-07:00

So I know I have mentioned before how my husband has this obsession of making sure my Children share the same HATE for Box elder as he does... ( for those of you that don't know ... I went to Box Elder ) WELLL.......I am pretty sure he Has 100% succeded because this is a little break down of something that happened at my house this past week....

Cambria was getting herself a drink and a little (DISGUSTING) earwhig was crawling on the counter, so she yelled at Braxton to come kill it.... well Braxton came up to see and decided he didn't want to kill it either and ran back downstairs..... As he is running downstairs this is what I heard.....
Cambria : BRAXTON ... YOU SUCK... YOUR BOX ELDER
Braxton: I am NOT killing it, your box elder cause your not killing it..
Cambria: I am NOT box elder..... you are..
Braxton : NO YOU ARE...
Well after they went back an forth arguing about who was box elder for about 5 minutes Cambria comes running up to me in tears,....
Cambria : MOM Braxton is calling me box elder
Me: well hun you are talkin to the wrong Parent, cause I am pretty sure both of you are Bear river for not killing it LOL and then I preceded by walking over and killing the darn earwhig.... ( Thats right Box elder killed the earwhig LOL)

But really the whole time this was going on I was thinking in my head... what in the heck does that even mean ... "your box elder" I am guessing that is there way of calling each other a woose??? Who knows, all I know is Box elder killed the ear whig LOL..
( and in all truth I could care less about the whole Bear river Box elder crap but Paul sure thinks its fun ....)

Happy Birthday Braxton !!!!!

2010-07-17T19:23:00.001-07:00

I can't believe my little buddy is 7 today!!!!! He is not my little boy anymore!!!! I love him so much and love that he is such a little sweetheart!!!! He is such a good big brother to gunner and such a good little brother to Cambria, I love that they are all like best friends!!!I can't believe that he is growing up, he gets to start football this year and to me that just makes him BIG :( i can't believe my kids are growing up right before my eyes.... I love you Braxton more than you will ever know, I love the joy you bring to my life.... happy birthday baby!!!!!!

Justin Bieber!!!!!

2010-07-13T14:55:00.000-07:00

I can officially say Cambria is no longer my little girl :( Her cousin Shay invited her to go to the Justin Bieber concert with her and with much hesitation, i decided to let her go!!!!!! Me and Paul took the down there, and of course we had to stop at the Mall on the way to get Cambria a justin Bieber shirt to wear!!!! While we were at the mall, Paul asked Cambria what she was going to do when Justin Bieber came out, and she said "I'm going to yell JUSTIN BIEBER IS HOT"
AAAAHHHH.... that is NOT my little girl!!!! :(

here is her and her cousin on the way there.... they were so excited!!!

I was having some major anxiety about leaving my 9 year old with her 13 year old cousin at a concert by themselves... it did make me feel a little better that there were about 2 million little girls , but still ugh, thats my little girl!!! Me and Paul headed to dinner and while we were there Shay kindly sent me a message with this picture.....
That said 'we found our seats"

I might of almost had an anxiety attack , but in the end they WERE ok and they had so much fun, they both were so excited and couldn't stop talking the whole way home.... they said "he said that all the girls in utah are so hot and Cambria said i told him thank you :) LOL I guess it will be something those two will remember the rest of there lives!!!

Happy birthday to my little mr. Gun Bum!!!!!

2010-07-11T08:06:00.000-07:00

Somehow... this....

became this......

Overnight, and I don't like it one bit!!!! My little boy turns 3 today and I am not sure how to feel about this...... he is such a big boy and won't even begin to pretend he is still my baby even for a second.... I asked him this morning if he was going to turn 3 and be my baby again and he said "noooo..... mom I am your bid boy....sowwy!!!" :( :(
He is my little buddy, but even more so his dads, if paul is around he is 100% attached to his hip!!! Sometimes I have to admit this can be nice, but lately I am not really liking it much......
He loves everyone he always tells me and Paul "you are da best mommy and daddy eva" and if you say gun I don't think you love me anymore he says " ya i do" and then smothers you with kisses!~!!!!
He is still such a little shit and you can definatly tell he is the baby!!! he is so funny and definatly the best form of entertainment!!!!!He seriously keep us laughing all day!!!! he loves to torment Braxton and Cambria, but i guess thats what little brothers are for!!!!!!
I love him so much and can't imagine my life without him!! Happy birthday gunner and heres wishing this next year will go just a tad slower I'm not sure what I will do with myself when my baby is FOUR~!!!!!!

Happy 9 years!!!!!!

2010-06-29T16:12:00.000-07:00

Gunner :) :)

2010-06-23T08:06:00.000-07:00

So I got home from the gym this morning and Gunner says to me
G-"mom eveebody calls me silly doose ( goose) and I not a silly doose "
Me- oh ya well what are you then
G-" I am bid boy "
Me _ so I can't call you silly goose
G- No call me bid boy
Me -ok big boy
G- no i'm DUUUUUNNNer bid boy ( Gunner..he can't say his g's )

I then asked him if he knew where I just went
and he said " yep the tesas roadhouse " LOL

I love that kid we have the silliest conversations
about a week ago we had close to the same conversation but then he wanted to be called " silly doose dunner bid boy"!!!!!

he is my biggest stinker and loves to get into trouble but he tells me and Paul about 100 times a day " mom you and dad are da best mommy and daddy ever"!!!!!!!! SO I guess that makes up for all the naughtiness right??

I hate that he is growing up so fast, and I need to be ten times better at writing down all the cute little moments I have with him because he is definatly growing up before my eyes and before I know it he is going to be big like the other 2 and not need me as much :( :( :(

2010-06-14T10:42:00.000-07:00

I walked downstairs to find this.....

I asked him what he was doin and he said " mom i jus havin a birfday party"
10 minutes later..... he was all partied out LOL

Braxton got all signed up for football!!!!

2010-06-14T10:38:00.000-07:00

I can't even hardly believe that my baby Braxton is old enough to play football!!!. We got him all signed up and he pretty much couldn't wipe the smile off his face for days!! He played around in his pads and helmet all day!! He is sooo excited to start ( not sure if I am ready for this ) but he is!!!! His daddy is so proud and has definatly been waiting for this day since he was born!!!!!!And now my weekend life for the next probaby 15 falls will consist of Football, I can't wait!!!!!!

2010-06-14T08:29:00.000-07:00

So tremonton has there annual egg hunt and this year I can honestly say had to have been the coldest EVER!!!!! I am pretty sure you should not have to hunt for eggs in your snow clothes and snow :) Even despite the snow ( and the frost bite we all had by the end ) the kids still had a blast and came home with more candy bars than we possibly needed!!!

Cambria Braxton Trevor and Kada :) ( cousins)

Dance competition #1

2010-04-11T17:46:00.000-07:00

On our way to the competition.... funny story about this day..... we weren't going to take Braxton, but Cambria just kept insisting, she really wanted him there for some reason..... So I went and checked him out of school, and when he walked around the corner, he had this pissed off look on his face, he walks up and says...
B: why did you check me out ...
Me : to go to cambrias competition are you mad
B; yeeeessss........
Me: sorry ... i got you out of a test why are you mad
B: cause we were going to paint today!!!
LOL he is to funny, he was sooooo not thrilled about going with us :)
Stretching.......
One last deep breath .....
Danced her little heart out ;)

He got so tired towards the end and ended up falling asleep on me :)

Gunner kept himself busy pushing all the seats down :)

She is looking so old.... I am so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter :)
The boys keeping busy!!! They were so so good this day considering they were at a boring dance competition!!!!
Her and Macy hanging out in between dancing and awards!!!

Braxtons 1st grade program!

2010-04-11T07:08:00.000-07:00

Braxtons had his 1st grade singing program, and he sang his little heart out... it was so cute!!! Braxton Loves to sing, so I loved watching him... he sings around the house all day long, it is one of my favorite things about my little Braxton!!!!

He had a speaking part ( " we can say I like you or will you be my friend " ) and it was so funny cause he said it so fast you could barely understand him :)
Gunner fell asleep ( thank goodness )

My silly child!

2010-04-11T07:06:00.000-07:00

BeSt FrIeNdS!!!!!

2010-04-11T07:02:00.000-07:00

Crazy how they have there own beds, but end up like this every night!! I think its so sweet, they truly are best friends!!!!!!!

What a morning..................

2010-04-09T09:22:00.000-07:00

So I am now truly convinced that my 2 year old IS evil...... I love him to pieces and he can be the cutest damn thing, but he truly is EVIL!!!!!!!!

I was upstairs doing my hair and makeup this morning, and I could here Cambria and Gunner fighting all morning, well a few minutes later, Cambria was running up the stares screaming Bloody murder, you would have thought she was dying..... Gunner had stabbed her in the head with a knife.... my heart sunk for a minute until I realized that she was not gushing blood anywhere..... the knife barely got her, but there was a tiny drop of blood on her head!!! ( see you all now agree that he is evil) !! It was alot of drama there for a few minutes Cambria thought she was going to die, Braxton was screaming cause he didn't want her to die and Gunner was crying because he knew he was in trouble and "didn't want to be a naughty boy" !!!!! My sister in law walked in while all this was happening and Gunner runs up to her, my mommy hit me !!! LOL looks like someone was trying not to be the bad guy!!! He then when on to tell her" I need to put my money in my jar" ( his legoland jar) she asked him where his money was at and he said " in mommys wawet" ...... about an hour later i was still on edge with him, he walks down the stairs and says to me " mom i need some damn orange juice" I was like Oh really is that how you ask me for something, and he said " NOOOOOO mom can I pweese have some damn orange juice"
WHAT AM I EVER GOING TO DO WITH THIS CHILD...................... most of the time he can be such a sweet sweet boy, but when he is nuaghty, he is NAUGHTY!!!!!!!!!

discovery @ gateway!

2010-04-07T13:25:00.000-07:00

A couple of months ago we took the kids down to gateway and they had a blast!!!!!!

2010-04-07T08:01:00.001-07:00

Steph was our Cheerleader all night :)
Steph and jackie I love these girls!!!

doing headstands.........
dancing and doing gymnastics...................
eating otter pops ( i think they ate the whole box) ....................
piggy back rides...........
and these to were so cute, they ate chips............

and watched movies............

2010-04-02T15:22:00.000-07:00

Cambria really Loves to do her hair, and when she is bored she will practice all kinds of things with it..... She really is pretty coordinated when it comes to doing her hair and it really looks pretty good when Its all done... this is SOOOOO nice for me beacuse she gets up and gets her hair done in the morning and I get just a little bit more sleep!!! She is trying really hard to master curling it with the chi, and I must say for being 8 she really does a pretty good job!!!!

Basketball 2010

2010-04-02T15:14:00.000-07:00

This year was Braxtons First year of Basketball!! Not sure he will end up being a pro basketball player ( he is way to nice) but he had alot of fun and that is all that counts.... he was absolutly not agressive at all, and pretty much would give anyone the ball if he started to feel pressured LOL!!!!!

Here is his team with there trophies!!

I really wish i would have remembered my Camera on a day I helped him get dressed and not his dad, but thats life, it never seems to turn out that way! So ignore the fact that he does not match !!!!!!

I realized as I was buying him basketball shoes that my poor kid still did not know how to tie his shoes! He has always had dcs, and we have laced them so he can slip them on.... He was so determined though and within a couple of days he was a pro at tying his shoes!!!

......

2010-04-02T15:07:00.000-07:00

I was trying to get the house clean today and looked downstairs and of course Gunner had gotten ALL the stuffed animals out.... I asked him what he was doing and he said.... " I am havin a birfday party mom" :) now how could I get mad about the mess with that kind of response :) He love love loves parties...

WEll I continued cleaning and came down a little bit later and I guess he must have been all partied out, he was sound asleep :)

AAHHH!!!!!

2010-04-02T13:17:00.000-07:00

I started looking through my pictures today, and realized just how BEHIND I really am on my blogging......
my life is crazy right now.... there used to be a point in time where I would look at people that were "SOOO" busy and wonder " can life REALLY get THAT busy".... well guess what it can!!!

I seriously feel like I never stop!!!! My poor house gets so neglected, but I just don't have the time for it!!!! Between the things I do.... gym/work/cents of style, the things Cambria does 4 dance classes a week/ cheer/ solo/ gymnastics ( and now LOTS of EXTRA practices for dance )/and achievement days, the things braxton does... just soccer for now ( thank goodness), trying to make sure at least laundry is done, dinner is cooked and homework is done! Ah man it Consumes my life, and truthfully I wouldn't have it any other way, but AHHH sometimes I just want to scream!!!!!!How does life get this busy???? and poor Gunner just gets dragged from place to place, and he is so good about it!!! He loves going on rides thank goodness, and he loves the gym daycare !!!!! I always say I can't wait tell summer, because I always think its going to slow down, but in reality it never does! Its just new things to keep us running ( softball/baseball/ football/gymnastics/swim lessons) !!!!!

I am really looking forward to our family vacation this summer though!!!! We are taking the kids to legoland and seaworld! We have never taken them on an actual vacation so we are ALL excited!! The kids decided to make jars to save there money in for the trip, and we made gun one just so he didnt' seem left out! I didn't think he would get the whole concept, but by golly he does!!! Everytime he finds any kindof money he says " mom i need to put dis in my jar and save it for yegoyand" sometimes I will say where did you get that money and he will say " you's wallet " LOL thank goodness he only likes the change!!!!! It is so nice though because the kids will do just about anything for a dollar!!!!! I am definatly going to take advantage of that while it lasts!!!!

Well anyway that is my life right now, I am going to try REALLY REALLY hard to get caught up sometime this next week before I get to far behind and it becomes impossible to catch up!!!!

2 yr old conversations:)

2010-02-26T16:10:00.000-08:00

So Gunner comes up with the funniest things lately... I love having conversations with him because you never know what he is going to come up with next

Today.... the kids had just got home from school and me and Gunner had been shopping all day.... our last stop was walmart, so of course that meant Gunner needed some popcorn chicken.... Gunner had left them on the counter along with a pudding that he had opened but not yet finished.... Braxton took it upon himself to finish both the popcorn chicken and the pudding off himself...Well gunner was PISSED... he came up and told me "Brax ate my chichens and ogurt all gone :(" Me... I am so sorry baby"
G- "he is so naughty "
M- ya i know he is pretty naughty
G-we need tape
M- what do we need tape for
G- hims mouth :) help me mom :)
( I guess he was thinking if we put tape on his mouth he couldn't eat his things anymore)
Well a couple minutes later Braxton was being really loud and gunner came back upstairs and told me
G- Mom I weawy need tape:)
He continued asking for tape for about 20 minutes :) he was quite serious about it... he found a piece a string and came up and told me it was Stity tape I asked him what he was going to do with it and he said "give it on Braxs mouf" :)
*********************************************
Gunner loves Pauls gotee(sp?) he always points at it and says "dad me want one of dose" :) I think it is the cutest thing.....
************************************************************
I had to take Gunner to work with me the other day for an hour and he talked our ears off the whole time I am pretty sure he never shut up, but one of the many conversations went somethin like this....
G-mom me not take a bath
M- no you can't take a bath here
G- Cause me not naked
M- ya your not naked
G- you not naked mommy
M- no Im not naked gun
G- mom you have big boobies
EVERYONE in the whole salon turns and starts laughing
M- "GASP"
G- me not have big boobies mom... you have big boobies...

K my child is also obsessed with boobs and tells me all the time " mom me want some of dose"
also yesterday I was holding the dog and he pointed at his tail and told me " mom me want one of dose"

So my child is weird and wants a gotee, boobs and a tail ???????

Sledding **** Jack Rabbit hill!!!!!

2010-01-15T14:41:00.000-08:00

Here are the pictures from our sledding adventure over Christmas break, all in random order :)

GUNNER~ GUNNER~ GUNNER~ AHHHHH!!!!!!!

2010-01-12T07:29:00.000-08:00

So I call gunner in for dinner the other night, and he comes running in .... "yook mom I'm pretty"
He had been Painting his fingernails ( and his arms) and my hardwood floor!!!!!!!!!

my child won't stay dressed...........

2010-01-12T07:21:00.000-08:00

So I have this ongoing battle with my child.... EVERYTIME he goes to the bathroom, he come out and tells me he peed on his pants ALL so he doesn't have to put them back on..... ( the problem is, they are dry as can be) Sometimes he even decides to take his shirt off as well because " he pee'd on it too" So I have to constanty (Approx. 50 x's a day) tell him to get dressed..... sometimes he comes back in the strangest things....

This day, he came up to me in THIS>>>>>

And told me he was dressed, and then....

a couple hours later had the same problem and he cam back dressed like this>>>>>

his shirt inside out...... pauls sock on the right, braxtons sock on the left, Pauls beanie and Braxtons shoes on the wrong feet......

I don't know what I would do without this kid... he definatly keeps me laughing!!!

Just a Few "gunner" things :)

2010-01-08T06:36:00.000-08:00

THIS.......
Little boy is growing up:( He is getting so big, and is such a little smarty!!!!! I want to cry almost daily because I am just NOT ready for my baby to be a big boy.....
He has a "big boy" mentality and I absolutly HATE it, he is supposed to WANT to stay little Right?????
The first part of december he just woke up one day and decided to go on the potty, we had never really tried the whole potty training thing, I kept telling myself AFTER the holidays... well he had a different idea.... he ToTaLlY potty trained himself! And really NO accidents:) I really Cant complain, but getting rid of diapers is something I never thought would make me sad, but it did.... one less thing that makes him a baby!!!!! He has been so good and now insists that he stand up to pee ( which he has to stand on his tippy toes so you can imagine the mess) but he tells me " big boys stand up MOMMY".....
Next on his list of things that make him want to be a big boy his Sippy cup!!!! One of my Big new years goals was to get him off of the sippy cup... I never have felt like sippy cups were a big deal because I LOVE them, I LOVE not worrying about having spills everywhere, but the only problem with Gunners is he is totally and completly attatched and he won't go to bed without it and he wakes up at least twice to have me " fill my tup up milt Pwease" Which also means my baby is almost 3 ( eww.. I hate saying that) and he still has NEVER slept throught the night UGH!!! SOOO it is a must to get rid of :) So about a week before new years I thought I better prepare him and so I kept telling him that sippy cups were for babies and big boys have big boy cups!!!!!... Well about 2 days later, he wanted NOTHING to do with the sippy cup, he only wanted a "big boy tup" he would tell me "tups ( meaning sippy cups) are fur babies" So sippy cup is officially gone, and there goes one more thing that made him my baby :(
He now tells me multiple times a day
"tups for babies, diapers for babies, binkies for babies and me a bid boy" AHH is there a magic potion for keeping them littel?????
He has a few obsessions right now... mickey mouse Christmas... we recorded it on our DVR and we have watched it at least 2 times a day since.... He tells me "turn mitey mouse christmas on "
He also loves dora and diego and actually the other day after we had cut Pauls hair we were all sitting downstairs and he walked up to Paul and said: "daddy who swiped your hair.... swiper"
So maybe he watches too much dora LOL
He also Loves this spongbob cream of wheat that comes in chocolate and asks me every morning to make him "chochate milt cereal" He LOVE LOVE LOVES hot chocolate and we make it about 5 times a day in our cocoa motion... " me want hot chochate mommy" :)
He STILL is obsessed with football and will grab the football get down like he is going to hike the ball and say "mark get set hu hu " LOL and then he will run around all crazy and say "defense fumble" lol
Pauls has a hunting game for the wii and he loves Pauls to play it so he can get his gun out and play with him... so funny to watch and he will tell paul in a deeper growlier voice "dad lets shoot dat butt ( buck)" the only problem is lately even when paul isn't home he wants ME to play it so he can shoot the bucks... I just turn on the hunting channel and let him go to town :)
He is now in the older nursery at church which was another big sign flashing " I'M GROWING UP MOM" ... he loved it and amazed the guy when he showed him a picture and said who is this and Gunner said " jesus" I have to tell you I was quite impressed as well as I don't think I am the best at teaching my kids things like that ( I try) but am not the best......Funny story back in december when we were on our 5 hour train rides to and from salt lake we were sitting in this crowded trax train and there was this guy trying to be friendly with gunner and he kept asking me " who is dat mom" I kept telling him i didn't know ... well after he had asked me a couple of times he says "dat jesus" LOL me and my sister started laughing it was so funny... not sure if the guy heard him or not, but its got to be a compliment RIGHT?!?!??!
He Loves to irritate the hell out of Cambria and Braxton and I must admit he is BAD... he will do anything and everything to make them mad, but in the end they still just love him more than anything :) He is notty and still says damnit to catch my attention a few times a day, but is SO quick to tell me when I say bad words LOL Its' like he know he will get in trouble for it but doesn't care... not sure what I will do with him :)
He loves our new dog, but the dog Hates him... I would to, he mauls the crap out of him....

One last story ( I know you probably hate them, but I have to write them to remeber them cause I would be so sad if I forgot any of them) We took the kids to see alvin and the chipmunks the other night and he was really good tell about half way through and he stood up
G: Mom me be rite back
Me: oh ya where you going???
G: to buy more Ms ( m&ms)
Me: oh really well you don't have any money
G: ya I do
Me: where
G: in my potet
and off he went to I had to go and buy him yet another bag of M's but it got him through the rest of the movie....

I just wish I could squish him down and keep him little but since I can't I will just make sure I write all his cute funny things so I will always remember them, he is my little sweet heart and my buddy all day while the kids are at school and I love that... he is cuddly as heck and tells me a million times a day " wov you to pieces mom" and he is really good when I have to drop him off at daycare of telling me as I walk out the door ( I am sure he thinks it will make me not want to leave him ... which is does, but I HAVE to) "mom me wuv you ... mom me wuv you to pieces.... mom me wuv you and daddy so so much " :( he sure knows how to get me:) he has the best imagination and keeps us laughing all day... he is still 100 % daddys boy, but i have learned to accept that and enjoy our time alone :)
I am sure I have bored you all to death, but I need to do this because there are so many things I don't remember about when Cambria and Braxton were little and it makes me so sad.... so I will go for now... my son is shooting me with a banana!!!! I LOVE MY LIFE!!!!!

Pauls SURPRISE!!!!

2010-01-05T17:26:00.000-08:00

So in November I had decided that if I could pull it off I was going to buy Paul a fourwheeler for Christmas!!!It was going to be a huge task and Ididn't know if I would be able to pull it off. I am the worst surprise keeper, I get so excited and end up telling him without fail every year!!!! He had been wanting a new one for about a year now and he just kept putting it off because that is just how he is, he will put everything first before him.... which gave me all the more reason to want to do this.... he works hard and I just felt like he deserved it~!!!! WEll I went and pre approved for the loan had his friend Wayne meet me at vescos picked i out with some nice wheels and tires and *WaH lAh* it was done... now i just had aweek and a half of hell trying to keep it a secret.....
Well 2 days after I bought it Paul calls me up at work and said " so did you get a loan for something" Me ahhhhhh " ummmm no why would I have done something like that without you"
Paul well my buddy at work says he saw you at members first and we don't have an account there so all Ican think of is that you were getting a loan"

I was pretty sure I was doomed but after 2 days of playing it off, he finally decided that I had bought him a trip for us to go on:) SOOOO..... I took a picture of his 4 wheeler and wrapped that so it would look like it really was a trip!!!!

Christmas morning was the BEST!!!!! He was so surprised and I loved EVERY minute of it...... and now I definatly think I deserve wife of the year award LOL just kidding, but he has reminded me everyday how awesome I am LOL

He has taken every excuse to use the thing you can imagine, he is like alittle kid with it:)

Christmas morning!!!!!

2010-01-05T16:52:00.000-08:00

Oh wow Christmas morning was so good..... Ihad really worried because it wasnt the best year financially, and the kids are getting older which means more expensive stuff.... I really was worried because Cambria only asked for and ipod, clothes, boots, jewelry, etc NO toys, so Iwas so afraid she would be disappointed when all she got was stuff like that... But in the end I worried for NOTHING!!! Cambria told me later that morning that it was "her best Christmas EVER and she got everything she EVER wanted" YAY I santa did good!!!! The kids woke up about 6:30, I was already kindof awake, so I just layed in bed and listened for a moment...

***********

Cambria: "braxton I think its christmas!!!!! (she runs downstairs) Yep santa drank our eggnogg!!"
Braxton: "did we get presents???"
Cambria :"let me go see..............BRAXTON WE DIDN'T GET COAL!!!!!" lol

And that is when they came barging into my room.... We had to wake Gunner up so he moved a little slower than the other 2 , they were all done opening presents and he still had like 10 to go:) Finally by the end he had caught on and realized he liked the stuff he was opening, when he was done opening his last one he said in the sweetest voice " more presents Please" Luckily we still had to head over to Pauls parents for breakfast and he would get one more...
( the pictures uploaded backwards so sorry)

Gunner Loved Cambrias ipod.....( notice he has it stashed in his pocket)
Me and my honey!!!

Gunner has seen Pat plenty of times and not once been scared of him, but for some reason on christmas eve, he decided he was scared of him.
