catch up

The Easter bunny called and asked me to keep a few things for him, i hid them in my closet, under a blanket, behind my mirror!!! 

Leave it to the little girls to find them.... Thanks goodness Grace with with dad, these two are ALWAYS into something!!! 

Next time someone asks me where i live, i can say in the home with the white picket fence!!

Kyle has done such a great job at making our outside beautiful and the fence is almost done! After 2 years the yard is looking like a nice yard that someone (kyle) has work really hard on!!!

We went to a reception so i got the girls in the cute new outfits Grandma Merri brought over, i thought they looked so cute so i wanted to get a picture of them..... this was the best i got!!!!

Before we got out the door, Grace got a hold of Alaynna and the comb and helped me out with her hair. I could NOT get it to go down, so she had a Mohawk!! 

It was Kyles birthday on the 28th, we had dinner with all the family and it was nice!! 

Kyle has been wanting a camera that he could take to work and out in the hills and not have to worry about it, so me and the girls got him the camera that is shockproof, waterproof, and unbreakable, at least we hope so!!

I made Jakell keep it over at her house and when she brought it over Kyle turned into a little boy!! We had a deal that we werent getting anything for his birthday so he was really surprised. I was going to make him wait till everyone got to the house but he made me let him open it earlier!! 

 After the girls helped Kyle open his present, Grace made a sled with the box! 

Alaynna like it, Addison did not!

Kyle had a great birthday and was really happy everyone came over for dinner!! 

In other news, my kids are sick,

AGAIN. 

I hate it when they are sick, i get NO sleep. 

I should be sleeping, NOW, but i am not cause i have to much to do! 

Like make a cake, but instead i am blogging!

This past week....

On Monday Me, Grace, Jakell, Trueitt and Mom went up to Cedar to watch McKell do gymnastics. I am so glad i went up, she is a senior at BYU and i havent ever been able to make it to a meet! She does the bars and is so awesome, I didnt get to talk to her much, but i really am glad we were able to go and watch her and see the family!!
After we watched her, we went to dinner with Terrie, Jayden, and Grandma and Grandpa at IHOP! I got the migraine from hell so i didnt enjoy it to much!! (Speaking of that, anyone know of a good pill, treatment, prevention, anything to help migraines, i am getting way to many of them lately and need some help!!!) Anyways we had a good time and it was good to see everyone!!!

This was the only picture i got, i was to busy watching to take any pictures!

Kyle is working crazy hours this week, 2 AM to 12 PM, so he was home during the day yesterday and so we planted our topsy turvy tomato plant!  
Kyle went and got us a nice, huge, good looking, tomato start, then we opened the box and you are suppose to get a baby tomato start, so we just shoved the huge one threw and we are hoping it doesnt die!!
After Kyle got it threw the little hole, Grace started to fill it up with soil with the littlest shovel she could find!!

 The little girls got bored and started eating the instructions and box to the topsy turvy tomato!!
(The twins have been sick, throwing up, pooping, so yes Addison is in a diaper and they look like "no one loves them", thanks Annie, i love that!!!)

Grace wouldnt let Kyle or I help much, cause she is dads helper outside and she loves to do whatever job you give her when it comes to outside work!! She would put a few shovel fulls in and then she would have to move the dirt around, she is a slow poke!!!

So I got bored and found our tulips are blooming.....

After Kyle took over the dirt filling, we finally got to hang it.....

Hopefully we didnt kill it and we get some tomatoes!! 

This morning when Grace was "cleaning her room" I went in to check on the lack of progress she was making and I found her drawing!
I asked her what she was doing and she told me, "I am drawing a pig!" So i went and looked and was amazed, I made her let me take a picture of it!!! 

   She amazes me, she is so smart and such a good little artist!!

A few thing i have learned this week.......

• I look a million times better with brown hair!! I was sick of seeing the top of my head black and the bottom blond! When i had Grace my hair went darker then when i had the twins my hair went like black! So the blond was just to hard to keep up! I went and got me a box color and made Jakell come over and help me, and now i am brown and I love it!!  

• Being outside makes everyone in this house happier! The girls love to be outside eating rocks, drinking Josie's water and enjoying the sun!! When they are happy, i am happy, and when i am happy Kyle is happy, so we are so happy that the weather has been nice. We just hope it doesn't get to hot to fast!

• No matter how hard i try my house is always messy, thats what happens when you have more kids than hands i have decided!  I was putting some clothes in the washer and the twins booked it down to my bathroom to see what they could get into! When i went to find them, every cupboard and drawer was opened with everything  they could reach out on the floor, the trash spread everywhere, (good thing there wasnt much in ther), the roll of toilet paper unrolled and toilet paper in both thier mouths, it was a mess!! 

• Sand is hard to rake, i have the blisters to prove it. Also sand keeps Grace busy for hours!

• 3 year old have a hard time making to to the toilet to throw up and usually just throw up where ever they are standing! I already knew this one but was just reminded of it this week! After getting home from St. George Monday Grace threw up all night, and then next night, and the next night!!! She is better now and i just hope no one else gets it in this house! 

• Grace loves to dress herself in the craziest things! We had to go up to home hardware and this is what she wore, it had been a long day and i just didnt care. I did tell kyle that we couldnt let her leave the house dressed like that, and kyle just said "are you going to go get different clothes on her" and I said, "ok lets go!!"

• EVERYONE, really everyone, makes the cute bead watches! My Grandma had a table at the senior swap meet this year so i made a few watches to sell and i didnt do to great!! It was still fun, i got to visit with my aunts and grandparents and Grace loved being out of the house all morning! But I do now have some really cute bands and watch faces, so if you want a cute watch, i have them!!

 I am so proud of Kyle, after 4 years of studying, stressing, doing homework, and taking tests he is done with his apprenticeship schooling and is now an official lineman!!
He has worked so hard and he couldnt be happier to have it all done!!!

lady bugs

My girls have been sick and sick girls dont sleep and that means i dont sleep!!
They all have just had bad colds, no earaches, no bad sore throats, nothing but runny noses, bad coughs, and just miserable and since they dont have any bad things there isnt really anything to give them to help!
Needless to say i was going crazy and so Me and Kyle went and got bricks and plants for outside and Kyle made me go buy some new pants and shorts!
Does anyone else out there hate to go shopping for clothes? When i go to the mall i feel like i am a old lady shopping in the teen area with all the skinny tall teenagers, i dont like it. I am short so that makes buying pants a freaking nightmare and my muffin top and small chest make shirts not to fun either!!
Oh well, i will just stick to shopping for kitchen stuff, beads, and anything for the yard and hope that Jerrica or Jakell clean out their closets soon!!! 

Anyways we went to star nursery, (probably one of the funnest places to shop for me and kyle), and we seen this little bucket of lady bugs, approximately 1500 lady bugs were in it and so we had to get it for Grace!! 

She was so excited and the little girls and Trueitt even got it on it, mostly they just tried to eat the bugs, but it was still fun! 

It was probably the best $6 we have spent in a long time, it kept Grace busy for a hour and we even went out today and found alot of them were still around!

Grace was covered in lady bugs and was as happy as could be!!!

11 months old

The girls are 11th months, i really can not believe we are coming up on 1 year!

A few of the new things they are doing are.....

They can says "kitty kitty", Addison makes a shhhhhhing sound and Alaynna makes a kkkkk sound, that is kitty kitty! 

They LOVE to be outside and if the door opens the crawl as fast as they can to try and escape!

Alaynna has 4 top and 2 bottom teeth, Addison still has just her bottom 2!

I think their favorite time of day is when kyle walks in the door cause as soon as they hear him they both want him to hold and love them!

Addison like to grab noses and thinks it is the funniest thing!

Alaynna love teeth and gives fish hooks just so she can touch your teeth!

&

They both love bottles and i dont think i am going to take them away till they are 5, (i am not looking forward to the day)!!!

Last night I was on the computer and Kyle yells into me, "i need some help, i am being mauled" So i went in and all 3 of the girls were on top of him just playing like it was nothing! They sure do love their daddy!!
Alaynna looks like she is crying but she is laughing and i have noticed that alot of my pictures of my kids are in diapers or pj's, but really i get them dressed and cute everyday, but by the end of the day we all just look haggard!!!!

"Silence is golden", 

This phrase has taken on a new meaning in my life!! Grace-Lynn N E V E R shuts up!!! Now that sounds so mean of her mother to say, but for real, she wakes up talking and doesnt stop till she is asleep. I asked her the other day if she could just be really really quiet for just a minute, she just looked at me like i was crazy and said "no, i like to talk!" 

I might have to invest in some ear plug so i can get a few minutes of silence in my day!! 

 

Today i started to work out, it is no secret that having the twins destroyed any hope of every wearing a bikini for me, but i am trying to get back in shape! 

I bought me a new work out video and holy cow, i have muscle pains where i didnt even know i had muscle, for real i dont know if i will be able to walk tomorrow!!!

While i was doing my work out, (or sweating bullets and mumbling swear words while attempting to work out), Grace asked me what i was doing so i told her i was getting skinny, she just laughed and said "well i am skinny so i am going to play!"

other stuff that happened this week

First if you havent noticed my cute new blog, notice it now!!!! 

My BFF Lauren does a wonderful job making your blog cute and other things cute, pretty much anything you want cute, she can do it!!!  So if you want a cute blog like me go check her out at......  http://www.designerblogs.com/ !!! 

Second, Grace and Alaynna still have colds and Addison is getting teeth, so none of us sleep at this house, i take that back, Kyle sleeps threw everything, so none of us girls sleep!!!

Saturday morning Alaynna decided to get up and scream at 5 AM, she woke Grace and Addison up so we were all so tired! 

While the twins were in taking a nap Grace curled up on the grass outside and took a nap herself!!!

She kept telling us to be quiet cause we were waking her up, then we could hear her snoring away! 

Kyle and I built this wall this weekend, 

really I took the bricks to him and he built it, but i did help with this project!

It is looking so good out there and i cant wait to get it done so that i can get my garden in and the girls can have their play area!!!

Lion

The girls LOVE this lion! 

Addison likes to be pushed on it and she will sit on it till you push her!!! 

When Me, Kyle, or Grace wont do the pushing........

Alaynna does!!!!!

She is always pushing her around on it! They are best friends, that is till one has something the other one wants!

Like this morning when the girls where in the bath, Alaynna had a wash rag and Addison wanted it so when Alaynna wouldnt give it up, Addison bent over and bit her!!! 

Theses two are going to make me have gray hair well before my time!!
