Day 2 of our trip to San Diego

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

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 ?!?!?

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 !!!!!

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!!!!!

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!!!!!

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!!!!!!

I can not even believe that it has been nine years since I married the love of my life!!!! Where has time went, it definatly flys when your having fun!!!! I love this man more than anything, and couldn' t live one day without him.... he is truly my best friend and I wouldnt' have it any other way!!!!!! He is the best husband a girl could ask for and an even better father!!! My kids sure are lucky to have him as their dad!!!!!!!
