Lady bugs and the Garden

We get lady bugs every year, I had to make a few St.George trips so this last one Me and Grace picked us up some! 

We let them go in Kyles garden, He has 60 tomato plants out there.

That is a crap ton of tomatoes, but I am excited about it right now cause we miss our spaghetti sauce and salsa!

He's also got radishes, that Alaynna eats as fast as they grow! Turnips that arent growing! Carrots that also arent growing! And peas, lots of peas!

He also planted squash, and the ants keep eating them!

It is spring break and we have played outside as much as we can! Grace sleeps in till 8 or today 9 and takes her time getting going, she has enjoyed it and me and the little girls have really enjoyed her being home with us!

Back to the lady bugs, I am scattered and so is this blog post, the girls let them crawl all over them and I am sure a couple dozen will get killed, the twins aren't real soft!

Not a whole lot has been going on here, we play outside and I have slowly been packing up our stuff for our big move!

I have had to stay off the internet more than usual cause people irritate me! I am for real not a people person, I am not sociable in the least and so I probably should stay off social networks, why are people so dumb!?!?

One thing I will say is there is a separation of church and state for a reason, so why do people need to bring up what their church thinks about marriage equality?? If you feel the same as your church, good for you, but what happened to people thinking for themselves, I thought that is why Jesus died for us, so we could all have our own agency?  

There is my 2 cents, I have alot more where that came from but I have ran out of pictures of my cute kids!!

The next post I do will be showing off our cute new home, for the next few years!

Hot, Hot, Hot!

Kyle got his birthday present early this year. I try and surprise him and it doesn't work out and well this year, I was to tired!
He picked it out himself and he couldnt have been happier so it worked out for both of us!
He got himself shocks for his 4 runner, pretty lame gift if you ask me, but whatever!

A few weekends ago it hit 90* and when it is that hot the girls think they need to be in swimming suits. They ran threw the sprinkler for a minute but then Grace decided it was still to cold! The twins didnt mind the coldness and played in the water for awhile!

We decided to see if the fish were biting and rode up to the reservoir, but there werent and teenagers with dogs came and crowded us out!

So we went to the other side and Alaynna decided to go for a little swim, as you can see she loved it!

I was kinda scared for them to get in the nasty place but Kyle told me I was a germ-a-fob, and I am so I let them be little kids and swim!

Grace inst as brave as the little girls, but she still had fun!

Spring has Sprung!

It was a little of everything weather wise this weekend. We had a little rain, some wind, kinda cold, and hot!

I love this time of year cause of all the flowers, the garden, and how we just can be outside.

We got tomatoes in the ground, Kyle is just a few short of 60 plants, I hope to get sick of canning again!

 It had rained really good on Friday so there was alot of mud out there, by the time we were ready to come inside, we had all grown a few inches cause of all the mud on the bottom of our feet!

 Kyle also was on call this weekend and got called out a few times, luckily it was just a few little things and nothing that was to hard.

 Our cats are still around, I usually have them killed off by now! These two, (Tux and Seymore) are from the shelter and I think that that is why they have been such good cats!

The broccoli needs to be ripped out but it is covered in bees so it will be in there till Kyle can get up earlier than them!

 Grace spent the weekend jump roping and hula hooping!

 Addison sang and just got muddy!

 I get these 3 ready and cute every morning but an hour later and they look homeless!

I dont really like taking pictures of people, I would rather take them of flowers, mountains and animals! So when the bees come out I love it, I should make a calendar with all the pictures of bees I have!
Also I need to learn how to edit, I crop my pictures, but other than that I dont get to crazy. Anyone have some great tips or how they learned. they want to share!!??  

Somebody missed me?!

I went MIA again, I took a break from internet for awhile, I even took a break from all my oil reading/learning!
I feel like I have my little life in order again, and I have a plan, maybe that will help with this little black hole I have been in the last little while! I wouldnt say I have been depressed, but I have been on the verge of it!

Now to what we have been doing....

When Grace brought home a note saying they were going to have a walk-a-thon for a fundraiser, I called everyone I could and told them how stupid it was. But Grace was all excited about it and I put my feelings aside and pledged some money to her!
We went up and walked around a few times with her, but the twins didnt last to long!
Grace and her friends had alot of fun and the PTO raised over $10,000 so I guess it wasnt as stupid as I thought!

We rode up to the reservoir awhile back with the twins, it was bright can you tell.

They played in the sand for awhile and me and kyle got a few minutes without someone talking, win, win!

Jakell and the family came down so we could help celebrate Trueitts birthday! Jakell really wanted to do it at the park, but it turned out to be cold so we did it at her in-laws home! Kyle of course got called out so he left early! I was so happy to get to see her and the kids, I miss my sisters and the kids even more!

Kyle and I went up to the hunt expo, we left the kids with mom and Steve and got a few nights away! I had a kidney infection and wasnt feeling all that great on Friday, but Saturday I got a little more energy and felt human again!
Kyle was really in the mood for sushi so we looked up a place that was close and decided to just give it a try. It was right next to a tattoo shop and it looked alot like a hole in the wall, but it turned out to be really good!!
If you are in Downtown Salt Lake go to Sapa and get a spider roll!
We decided to get a little crazy and order a few rolls that were out of our comfort zone. We were sitting at the bar watching them make the rolls when one of the guys takes out a whole soft shell crab and starts rolling it up. We were really nervous to try it, but if we wouldnt have been so full we would have got another one!
I want to take Kyle in to Vegas for some good sushi for his birthday, anyone have somewhere they love?!

It snowed alot while we were up there, and it was cold, so cold.
I couldnt move back,
the desert is my home now,
till it is to hot,
then Marysvale in the trailer will be my home!

Really though, I couldnt go back and live in the snow, id never leave the couch with my electric blanket!

Alaynna is our accident prone child. The other day the twins showed these little BB things to me, I just told them to throw them away, and I thought that was the end of it.
But then Grace got home and they were outside playing with bubbles, when all of the sudden Grace comes running upstairs saying Alaynna had some blue ball stuck up her nose,
(she also mentioned that it was huge, and it was not.)
So I go down to see what is going on and Alaynna had shoved a few of the little BB's up her nose. After teaching her how to blow her nose they came out fine and all was well!
She will be back in the ER before to long i am sure, everyday she does something that I say,
"what the hell are you thinking kid!!"

Russell somehow talked Stephanie and I into going to Celine with him! I had already been with him but he thought that since we hadnt all been together since high school that we needed to do this!
It turned out to be alot of fun and Celine put on an even better show than the first time we seen her! We also had awesome seats!!
We ate some really great Italian food, done alot of shopping, looking, and really enjoyed each other. We all agreed that there would be no more Celine but that we needed to do it again and see a different show!

I got to make a cake for Nancys ward relief society birthday! The theme was 100 dresses and they just let me do what I wanted.
It turned out really cute and not a bite was left!! 

Last but not least.........

We found us a cute little house to rent for the next little while, we will be moving back down to Overton close to our old house! I am excited to get into our own space even if it is going to be small. Pictures of the awesome yard will come as soon as we move in!

And the very best news.......................

This is the future site of our home, YAHOOOOO!!!!!
We closed on the 4th and I got water in our names already! It is in a great subdivision and a great piece of property!
I am so excited to kinda know what we are doing, I like a plan and we finally have one!
It is still awhile down the road, but at least I can now see the light at the end of this tunnel!! 

I love that I was missed, It really made my day that 2 people missed me, haha, so I am back, at least for this post!!!
