whats up buttercup?!

So my blog has not been as "up to date" as it use to be. I think I needed a blog/face book break. The world has been driving me nutty and I have been afraid i might have a blog venting session and well that would not be a good idea, ha!
Also we just have been busy with everyday life and nothing to interesting has happened to blog about!
A few thing that have happened that haven't made the blog yet, haha, are...

We ripped out our corn to make room for our winter garden; peas, radish's, carrots, and some broccoli.
Kyle planted 6 plants of broccoli, made a nice shade for them and we were really hopping for some good broccoli this year. But one day after work, Kyle noticed that a few of our plant had all the leaves ate off, so he put up a fence around our fence to keep the bunnys and quail out. But then after planting more plants, more of the leaves were getting ate. So after putting his trail cam out and waking up early in the morning, he caught the rabbit sneaking in and fixed the problem! We havent had a problem with the rabbits again!

After the wonderful week of freezing fall we had, it turned back into summer!! Not the horrible cant go outside at all summer, the nice fall like summer we get here in the desert! It is still way to warm for it being the middle of October, but maybe fall will come in November!

It was my 25th, 23rd birthday this last Monday! When I was a teenager I loved that people thought I was older than I was, but now that I am older I would really like someone, anyone, to be like "oh wow, you look like you are 19", ok that is probably stretching it, i'd take "oh wow you look 23!!!!!"
I always thought I would age with grace, but I am not! I dislike my birthday I want to be 25 23 forever, 30 may kill me!!!!

For some reason people think I am hard to buy for, I am not. A nice trash can, anything for my kitchen, sleeping in, or a simple house cleaning is on my wish list. Kyle did good this year though! Since he has Fridays off now we decided to go out to dinner. I told him id like something different than los lupes and a grocery shopping trip. He didnt seem to listen, but little did I know he had a night all planned out!
He took me into Vegas to this cool little Italian restaurant called Capo's. It was mafia themed and I even had a guy sing me unforgettable. After dinner we went to Fremont Street, neither of us were to impressed so we decided we would go find a Starbucks then come home! We had so much fun and I even got some real tiramsu and ate it on the way home and got sick!!!

This camouflage outfit is my present from Kyle, I think I look pretty good in it, it hide all the extra plump i have! I drew two tags this year and I only had 1 shirt that was camouflage so Kyle decided that i needed 2 pair of pants, a jacket, and a coat! He said it was hard to buy for me cause women sizes arent normal, haha!!! 

My mom was nice and watch the girls for us while we went out on friday and took them to her house for the night. When they came back the next day they brought me a cake!
I guess for turning another year older i had a pretty good birthday, alot of people thought of me and it made my week really nice.

I think my most favorite present came from Jakell. When she told me she was getting started on my birthday I was so happy!
After what seemed like forever, Taygan Riley Staley was born at 4:56pm she was 7lbs 4oz and 20in long! I really can not wait to get my hands on this little girl. I have really thought about driving up there but cant bring myself to go on a 8 hour ride in the middle of no where with my 3 children. So i will just have to wait for a few more weeks!

This week we also took Grace to the dentist for the first time!
It wasnt alot of fun!
The night before I was up with Addison who got the 2nd round of the stomach flu here at this house, so i was tired!
Grace did not like getting the xrays done and cried her eyes out. But after that she did pretty good and now brushes and flosses 3 to 15 times a day!
She didnt have any cavity's but she does have a cross bite and will have to have an expander put in, but not for a few more years!

randomness

This morning while I was putting makeup on, Grace was brushing her teeth.
She stopped and said, "You know, you are not to pretty in the night time and in the morning, but you are when you put your makeup on."
So I asked, "So you dont think I am pretty?"
Her response, "ya, I think you are pretty, you just have alot of dots."
Me, "Freckles?"
Grace, "Ya, freckles! You know God, he doesnt have freckles. He stays in his house all the time!" Then she just goes back to brushing her teeth!
She is nuts!!!!!

My 6 month old new dishwasher stopped working, after I stopped crying I called to get it repaired. He showed up, late, today and the girls were all scared of him. I was sitting with them eating lunch and I got up, as i got up Alaynna put her hands over her eyes till i got back. I guess if she cant see him than hes not as scary!
My children are backward shy, hopefully Alaynna grows out if it by the time she goes to school! 

the lake

Kyle had been working out at the lake and to cool down they would go for a swim during lunch. He said that the lake was coming up and there was a perfect spot for the girls to play.

So he decided that we should get dinner from linns and after Graces dance class we would ride down to the lake and play.

He got dinner and I got swimming suits. When we got there the girls all just ran to the water. It just gradually went out, it was a road when the lake was alot lower and so it was rock and really nice.

Alaynna is a fish, she is not scared even a little bit.

It was hard to get them out of the water to eat some chicken for dinner, so we told them if they ate alittle we would give them watermelon.

So they did eat a little, but all they wanted to do was to play in the water. So they took the watermelon with them and splashed and scrame and had a lot of fun.

After the sun started to go down, the water started to get to cold for the girls so we started to herd them out of the water.

No one wanted to go home cause we were having so much fun, but when it starts to get cold and the mosquitoes start to come out there isnt a lot you can do. We are going to go back down soon, it is nice to get out of the house and to go have alittle fun!
