Done blogging for the night! :) I loved having the holiday time with Jade and the kids and the time to kinda feel more relaxed and have a little break with help. Jade got all the Christmas decor up on the house and its so pretty I will post some pictures later. Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!!!! Back to normal life tomorrow. Oh yippie. School, work, running kids around, cleaning house, being home without Jade during the day. GOODNIGHT

Private please.

Ok I made all my blogs private. If you are missing from one of them please just email me. I don't have anyone on the kids blogs to read them but I post to them at least 1 time every few weeks or so as long as I can keep up. So just ask!!!!

McKay had to share.

Well we were checking out friends blogs tonight and we were looking at our friends blog. Sarah. McKay loves her son and he is his best friend in the whole world well hopefully next to his little brother and maybe even his sister? They are really into exactly the same things and it works well and they just play well together and love talking with each other. I am so glad McKay can have such a great friend. So he saw a picture of Travis. I guess since our blog is now private McKay really wants to post a picture if his friend. If his mommy does not mind. If she does we can just take it down.

Tyler just called him. Travis Strickland! HAHA!!!

Tyler thinks he is his best friend too. It works out. They all love playing together and they love playing with his little brother Trent too.

Here is a picture of McKay's best buddy!

Here are some pictures from our girls weekend with my sisters and my mom! It was fun!

Photoshoot!

We got our pictures taken last Saturday. We got together for Turkey dinner since everyone was going to their inlaws on Thanksgiving. We decided it was time for a real set of pictures. :) Sorry to Alex that he was no in them. Hmmmm maybe he went away? HAHA!! The missionary missed out. I really like our family pictures. Here are some of my favorites!  

Thanksgiving!

We had a really nice thanksgiving yesterday. We were able to go out to the in-law's house. Its nice to be able to see everyone. Jade was very excited for his pie he made. It was awesome to see him get so excited over pie! :) I truly can say I love my husband with all my heart. He is the best guy in the world and he is just soooo cute! Oh soooo girly! Jade's outside putting up Christmas lights and its dark outsdie. He's been doing it for awhile. He's crazy but gotta love him! I guess I better get some work done on this house because that was what I was supposed to be doing when he was outside. Our house is not bad so basically do some dishes and light pick up and then my bedroom. I will post pictures tomorrow of Thanksgiving and other things I have been taking pictures of lately. I just need to run and do some work! haha!! Picture of the lovely pie. It tasted great!!!

Twilight!

I had a fun time last night being able to go see Twilight with Katie,Abby,Katy, and Becky. Thank you Becky for inviting me. I really enjoyed and I can not wait for the next one. I love Twilight! I really think Jasper is better looking then Edward but when Bella saw Edward for the first time I just had to scream! Haha! Its like it just hit us! its Edward! BELLA AND EDWARD FOREVER!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Jade for feeding the kids and helping McKay with his homework and taking Ashlie potty so I could go!!! Ashlie's potty training! WOW! Too big of a girl! She is doing awesome may I add!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well Its a new time to update and since tomorrow is Thanksgiving what a great time to post what I am thankful for. 1. For a loving husband who takes care of me and my children. Who loves me more than life and puts up with me daily and who is the best man I could ever ask for. He works his butt off for my family!! 2. My children: Who could ask for 3 better children. Well they are 2,3,6 so they come with most 2,3,6 year old issues! But for being those ages I am lucky for what I have! I am grateful for my big boy McKay who teaches me everyday what its like to actually enjoy school and to enjoy being a big brother. He really is a good brother and sometimes actually helps me out!!! My wonderful Tyler. He really is a big boy and has started in on this cleaning kick. He has helped me in more ways then anyone will know. He loves me more than anyone else ever should! He can't be without mommy! Then there is my princess! Ashlie! She is great. She is just a joy to be around and she is such a girl. She is actually doing amazing at this potty training thing and I can't believe how fast she has caught on to this. 3. My wonderful parents: They have taken care of me my whole life and still are helping out my family daily. Without them where would I be? They give us more than We ever expect from parents and grandparents. I am grateful to all they do. 4. My inlaws. They help us all the time. I have the best mother in law ever and my father in law is not too bad himself. :) He is great!!!! They have rasied such a wonderful boy into such a wonderful man!!! 5. I am thankful for the country I have to live in. Even though it bites right now I am in a free country. I am grateful for the place I live. 6. For a heavenly father that loves me no matter what I do. I seem to flub up daily. But the sacrfices made for me . Wow someone must like me! Thanks to my older brother!!! :) My life is really great and I am happy!!! Even if there are struggles and things that you know just are not always great!!! THANK YOU!!!

My thanksgiving present to those who read my blog!

Well I decided to give everyone who actually reads and cares about this blog a present! Updates and pictures from Disneyland. Yep I added some slideshows!! Check them out. Disneyland was great! The first day we got there and just explored the house. The house was amazing in itself. We checked in with the owner over the phone and she explained a bunch of things to us. I would have loved to have been able to go swimming but at the times I wanted to go it was dark and cold. I guess in California you don't need to heat your swimming pool? HMMM! That might be something they want to add because who is going to be going swimming during the day when you want to be playing at Disneyland??? They even have a cool CD that you put into the CD player outside that plays the firework music. Its great and you can see them from there. We did not make it back in time to ever watch them. One night we watched them while we at dinner and that was fun. Even though we did not get to listen to the music we were away from the crowds and still enjoyed them. It was a busy time of year for them since kids had school off! It stunk. If I would have known that I would have picked a different time. Anyway we did have a blast. We enjoyed everything. The last day was a let down because someone stole my bag right off the stroller that had diapers and my camera in it! I was very sad. Then we left 3 hours before the park closed and I wanted to play more. Everyone was very tired so I guess I had to give in. I enjoyed seeing the joy on my children's faces. Its this once in a lifetime expereince. The first time your children see Disneyland. I guess growing up disney does that to me. I remember going there my whole life and the magic it brings and the joy it brings to me. I am so happy I got to share that with my children. Thanks mom and dad for this wonderful time in my life!!! You are great!!! Just check out the pictures and if you have any questions about anything on the trip just ask away. I did not want to post about every picture since I had too many! Well my dad. Thank you dad for taking pictures too or I would have been lost. When my camera got taken it had my memory card with well all my memories. :( Thanks for checking this out!!!!

You Think?

Do you think its about time for a update? I have been behind as always on this and everything else. That's life for me. That is how it goes and I don't think no matter how hard I try or anyone else tries that I am going to make it. :) Sorry. I am late to everything and behind on everything else. I guess you have to deal with me or just not. That's me!!!! Ok so let's get to it: Disneyland!!!!! We had a great time. I loved visiting it. My kids had such a great time and even though we missed some rides we went on a bunch and the kids had a blast!!!! The only thing that made me sad at all was the very last day. On the Last day someone stole my camera. It had my memory card inside with over 200 pictures on it. I cried. Then we got home to the house and I wanted to go back into disneyland. We had about 2-3 more hours till the park closed. No one would go back into the park with me. I was so sad!! Then you know when its the end its the end and I did not want this family trip to end. I was enjoying it a lot. So I don't have any of my own pictures to share with you guys but I am very happy my father had his camera. He took some great pictures. I have them on my photobucket and I will get those posted for you all to see our fun time.
