A Post

Our 9th anniversary is this week.

Crazy right, it's hard to believe that this punk a__ teenager turned into a wife, a mother, and for some reason a wonderful man has been able to put up with me for so long.

Anyway, as I think back on it, the first thought is:

Where has the time gone?

If I've been married for nine years, can I still be 23...those numbers add up don't they?

Is it possible that I am in fact hotter now then I was at 23? (I did that to be funny, so not serious...well maybe a little)

I've had the best nine years I could ever hope for.

My last thought will now become a cry for help (don't worry, I still am in love with my hot lips)

WHAT SHOULD I GET GORDON FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY?????

Please help, any suggestions would be very much welcomed!

Okay lets hear them.....

Talented Friends

So we have a friend that moved from Texas to work on the movie Horton Hears a Who.

I was going to write something about it, and how you should go see it.

But I have no stinking time!!!

However his lovely wifey has blogged all about it I am going to just link you to her site, so that you can read about our talented friend.

And Go See the Movie!!!!!!!

People Love Me and not because they have to!

Wickedly chic

It's getting that time...

This weekend me and 2 of my girlfriends are going to see Michael Buble in concert...I am so excited I can't stand it!

I really don't have much more to blog so for now this video will have to do and I'll take pic's and do a post about our fun outing on Monday or Tuesday...well I don't know when I'll actually do the post but it will be someday.

(I can't get blogger to put the video up, I don't know if it's the same thing with the spell check)

Clines out!

Happy LOVE Day!

My sweet, sweet husband likes to buy me stuff, and any time there is a holiday or a special occasion he frets about what to get me…what do you get a girl that has everything?

Well he did it, he found something I wanted B A D and didn't have.

Thanks for my super fun game Hot Lips, I love you!

Happy Happy Birthday Ian Dear...

February 13th
(I know I wouldn't have time to post this on his actual birthday, so 11:30 the night before is good enough)
Ian is now 4, I can hardly believe it. This boy has been such a struggle for me, but also such a great joy. I am so, so grateful for Ian, for all that he's taught me and for all that he will teach me. I love you and hope you have a great Birthday!
No more fingers and no more toes....its party time.

What the kid's are saying...

Josh: Mom, I like to have odor (B.O)
Me: You do...why?
Josh: Because it means I'm turning into a man.

I am sick of being sick...

We've all been sick, and it's been an annoying aliment! There have been: come and go fevers, a little throwing-up, a lot of snot and even more coughs. We are now at the recovery stage, were we are still tired but not actual sick; Ella and Josh came home from school the first day back in a week and went right to bed...well Ella didn't actually make it to bed!
The point of my sorry post is:
1. To give Allyson something to read.
2. Explain my lack of blogging.
3. To get a little sympathy and maybe some gifts.

Have a great week and stay away from sick people!

I was trying to get him to laugh...it didn't work.
Ian is really sick but as soon as I point a camara at him he did this.
My poor little baby, it hurt me to have him so sick.
She slept for a good45 min.

come on Eileen

Carpoolers is my new favorite show...it really cracks me up!

What the kid's are saying...

Ian said today~

"Mommy I've lost my smile."

Tooth time

It's been a long couple of days....but we have teeth!!!
(I think it's funny that I still get excited about baby milestones)

7 things...

I was tagged way over a month ago by Allyson & Amber.

I was so busy that I forgot.

The rules are:
-Share seven random facts about yourself, in your blog.
-Include these rules.
-Link back to the person who tagged you.
-Tag seven more people and list their names & blogs.

I know you all are waiting on the edge of your seats to find out more about me, so here we go:

1. I am a worrier

2. I have an incredible sense of hearing; it's quite annoying to both myself and my husband

3. One of my favorite shows is the Avatar

4.I still get home sick

5. I have an addictive personality

6. I skipped out on my H.S graduation (my parents were taking my brother to the M.T.C so I figured it would be pointless)

7. I hate giving talks/ teaching at church...I HATE IT!

Okay that's it!

I don't have anyone else to "tag", 7 things has come to an end.

I'm out!

Have I told you that I love this baby?

Oscar started waking up at about 3 or 4 the last few nights to eat and I can't have that, so I started him on cereal.

I thought it would take awhile to get him use to it and that he would push it away and refuse to eat it, like the 3 children before him...um no, the boy grabs the spoon and helps feed himself. He also makes this eating sound like he's been starving, and I know for a fact he is NOT starving.

I have a feeling that he'll be the best eater and have no trouble putting on weight!

I can do that

I found this at Pottery barn for $79

I was just thinking...

I was lying in my bath tonight thinking about how I labored with 3 of my 4 children in this very same bathroom (different tub same room) and then it occurred to me: I have had all 4 kids with no drugs, not a single thing.
I am not bragging.
I just don't know how I did it,
I am in total awe of my pain tolerance...seriously I DO NOT know how I did it (I'm the girl that gets hurt on a daily bases). Did I psych myself up during the 9 months (is that why we are pregnant that long), was it because I used mid-wife's, or was it Gordon's refusals to take me to the hospital when I begged?

For what ever the reason, I am grateful for each one of those experiences and know that I am better from them.

I do want to know what you think is the reason...be honest!

That pic is of me pregers with Ian. We were in the middle of re-modeling; I made sure the tub was in and worked before his arrival.

Toys

What happened to the simple toys? The ones that you don't have to practically cut your hand off trying to remove them from the package or the simple Lego set that just builds houses or castles...basically anything that's square; not a freaky fish or some strange alien/robot thing that would quite frankly give me nightmares if I were 7.

I'm just sayin...

Diana's toe is messed up!

What's up with Diana's Jacked-up pinky toe!?

Party Pic's

For those of you that wanted to see the pics from my Aunts party.

My Christmas Gifts.

My dear sweet husband likes to buy stuff for me, I know what a hard life I have!

This year he went a little overboard.

As per requested I will give you the highlights:

And the matching necklace that's better in person.

I've saved the best for last

My new favorite thing...

Are you ready?

It's a duzzy!

a drum roll please...

It's a car!

Can you believe he got me a car for Christmas?

How's he going to top this one?

My baby is Eight!

I knew that my children would grow up, but I didn't know that it would be so fast.
I feel as though this is the beginning of the end; in a short time Josh will be grown and won't need me.

That is all I can say about this right now, I will revisit it when I am a little more emotionally stable.
