RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS!!!!

So we went to a wedding of one of my moms dear friends of 30 something years. Out on the grounds of the Ogden Temple they have ornamental Chili peppers in the flowers. Kenna is soooo fascinated by these types of things. I love her for this reason. She is so inquisitive and smart.
Me,being the awesome mom that I am, bet her $10.00 to eat one!!!! She did it!!! Oh it was funny!!! watch this.

The best part was that I told Kenna to check the drinking fountain. She said she did, NOT!!! It didn't work and she was dying. We had to run to the rest room in the temple, She basically sucked on the faucet. AHHHH Good times!! I love my kids they ROCK!!!!

I'm workin' on it!!!!!

You know how everyone has that drawer that everything goes into and never returns? We call it a junk drawer! Well there it was, as plain as day, in front of my face, screaming at me..... "Hello I am here. Your camera!, YO MORON!!! How many times do you have to open this drawer and NOT see me?"I finally got it!!! :)

I will now wow you with some much needed pics!

For some reason our kids are not allowed to wear costumes to school on Halloween. They do get a crazy hair day and that is pretty fun! these are this years creations. The sad thing is I think I actually did my hair like Kennas a couple of times, just for school. (WOW!)

My little band of crazy people!!

We have from left to right::

Joe Dirt JR.( note the football jersey!!! GO REBS!!)

Little Red Riding Hood

Billy Ray Cirus

Chicken (made by Kenna!)

I was a Christmas fanatic I had some awesome earrings but they really hurt to wear soooo sorry no pics.I have a few more pics to add from our apple cider party at Grandma Yummyumms house, but I have to go be mom!!

MICE!!!!!!

I was just telling this story to my mother in law and decided I needed to blog it. No pictures of course but if you are visual, like me, you will die!!!

Most who know me know I am, 1- A.D.D. and 2- O.C.D. I also love a clean car, and house.
You can tell how I am doing, emotionally, and mentally, by those two things.

We moved into this house in August, It was not quite finished but close enough. Who needs counter tops and sinks? Toilets a must, doors are optional on certain rooms!! :) Well we have been finishing things here and there since we moved in. This month we got our final cabinetry put in and all I have left to do is some caulking and paint.

Needless to say I have let my car go.....ALOT!!! If you have been following our blog you will remember my post about going shopping in the big city. I had to clean my car out for that trip so I did it. It was disgusting!!! apple cores, Burger King wrappers, candy, toys, Dirt...etc. etc. etc. you know the nasty car drill.But finally The floor is visible!! TAA DAAA! miraculous miracles.

Well after our little trip I cleaned it out again. The next time I drove my car It was dark so I couldn't really see the interior of my car. I finally had to go to town in the light of day. I went to put Emi in her seat when...ERRRRRCH (car brakes) What the...... MOUSE CRAP!!!!!! in her car seat, on the floor, the back seat, EVERYWHERE!!!!!! AHHHHHH! I am throwing up as I type. YUCK! How long has this been going on? I was so sick, my sweet kids have been in here and ughhh, I just blaaaaa. Can't even explain how grossed out I still am..... I vacuumed it out. I mean vacuumed. The next day there was some on the floor, so I went and got Tye, we don't function alone, and I said to her that I have a mouse in my car with poop and everything. We are driving down the road SCREAMING. Tye's feet are up in the air, her toes curled and she is trying NOT to hyper ventilate. I pulled in to the car wash and we both fly out of the car!!! I need to vacuum,again,but I am also afraid that the littler buggers are still in there somewhere. So we grab and throw, grab and throw. Finally we got it vacuumed again.

We head straight to the store I have a little appointment with my new friend. Mr. Con.... D-con to be exact. Now don't go calling PETA on me. or maybe you can I don't care. Mice are only good for one thing. KILLING! I got 3 packages. 1 for my car, 1 for Brian's, and 1 for the garage. I had a little project to finish. Call me the PUNISH ER!!! ( insert Dr. Evils laugh) With all of my traps set. I wait.

I can now happily report that my car and the garage are now mice free!!! the D-con was empty the next day!! I think I had a whole compound of mice hanging out in my garage. We do live in a field,and have yet to get a cat. I have thoroughly sprayed my interior with all sorts of chemicals, and cleaners. and can say I am at peace with the world!!

She is getting bigger!!

We still dont have a name for her but she is sooooooooo cute, and getting bigger every day.Her eyes are starting to open and she scoots around. She can hear us now and I think she recognizes my scent. That may just be my wishful thinking.

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO



YESTERDAY

I was expecting more puppy names from all of our fans and admirers. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

We were given the suggestion of Aphrodite. It is cute we can call her Phro or Dite???? hmmmmm. What do you think?

BUSTED!!!

Thank goodness for camera phones!!! As you all know we lost our camera. It is somewhere between our house and my mother in laws.

So, I am constantly fighting big butt syndrome. Some days are good, most are bad. I give myself credit for trying. :) Today I made some yummy 1 point chocolate cupcakes, mmmm, I was in our office playing on face book when I hear plastic rattling. I postpone going out to check, its probably Parks getting food. About 10 minutes later I hear more plastic and then I hear Parks downstairs!!! AHHHHHHH!!!! I run into the kitchen and this is what I found.
Yes she is cute, yes she is sweet, yes she is a monster!!!! I had 24 and now there are 20!!! I have a naked chocolate monster running a muck in my house. There was a trail of crumbs all the way down the stairs. I would love to blame Brian for this but he was "innocently" playing a video game, and had no idea what she was up to!!! So alas it is once again my bad!!! I should have checked the first time. Oh well, I guess I should go clean up the mess!!!!

Halloween?

So some how we miss placed our camera with all the fun pics on it. I am sooo sad. I will continue to look for it, and get you all some pics.
Brian was Billy Ray Cyrus----- hilarious
Dani was a Christmas fanatic.----hilarious
Kenna was a chicken---very cute. She also made her own costume.(mad skills)
Parks was Joe Dirt Jr.---hilarious
Emi was Little Red Riding Hood--- very sweet.

When I find the stinking camera I will post something good!!
