I know this is shocking but no one have a heart attack ok...

I know your thinking is she on something two posts in a week.... what's wrong with her but YES I am posting again. I decided to actually dust of my camera and take some pictures of my own and thought I'd share...
We had a night where Jonny didnt have much to do so we thought we'd do something fun with the boys Jonny wanted games and Kael wanted to make cookies so we thought we'd throw caution to the wind and do BOTH! 
I'd love to eat him right up! 







He was very serious about playing.


Who could resist a "CHEEESE" like that!




mmmm. chocolate. enough said



I think it's clear we had fun...Kael had the most fun with the games and Brady had the most fun eating the mini chocolate chips and knocking over the Jenga tower while we were still trying to play! Later on after bathtime we decided to play Kael's absolute favorite thing TRAINS. The kid LOVES them I'm not just talking a fun collection he's in LOVE with trains, has episode memorized and gets rather involved and imaginative when he's playing. See for your self!





Sorry about the red eye's I'm to lazy to fix them tonight! It's a hoot to watch him just play trains it's like he creates a whole new world for himself, he is always right at eye level with them, making himself a part of that world. He's so funny and has an awesome imagination I am so grateful for that! Brady and Kael are in love with guns also thanks to Uncle Nato! My mom gave Kael a cowboy get up for christmas and Brady has discovered it!





So there you have it... hope you enjoyed all the pictures of my darn stinkin cute boys! Night!

Everyday should be Mother's Day!

Being a mother is the greatest thing I've ever been blessed to do. But I know I have a long ways to go, I'm learning daily things that I need to do better but thanks to countless wonderful examples that I have I hope to one day be able to some how measure up to them.  Here are some of them who I admire and adore...
My own Mother, she's been a constant in my life. I've always known she loves me and her love of her Savior Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father astound me. 

Cass- She's not technically a mother yet but someday! I know she'll be the best mom, so much fun, and she'll raise her children with a good solid foundation of who they are and their potential. She's a great Auntie to my boys! Beep Beep Zoom sissy!

My Grandmother- couldn't have asked for a better example of what a mother should look like. She's a terrific mother who would do anything for her children or grandchildren. She's has created a wonderful legacy for herself. 

My mother in law- a true example of what a "believer" is. She never speaks a harsh word about anyone and is so willing to give where needed. She raised a wonderful son who's been a great dad and husband. I think that speaks volumes about his mother!

My Grandmother Viola- She recently passed away and was 93 (I think!) I feel like I didn't know her well enough but she always made if extremely clear when I was around her how she felt about the gospel and her Savior Jesus Christ. She always told us to keep the commandments. I just had a quote that my mom always told us kids she used to say put into vinyl for my kitchen wall I love that I feel like a little part of her is still with me! ..." It's a great life if you don't weaken. Viola Mae" 

 My aunt Colette- She adopted Jon and I when we moved back to Vernal and we've been having weekly FHE at her house with her and Mark for eight years now. She's loved my boys and taken care of us like we were her own. I know how much she loves her own girls. Like the rest of my aunts she's like a second mother to me, I know that they'll be there for me whenever and wherever! 
ok so she's not like a mother to me more of a sister! She's really my cousin but someone who I adore beyond words. We've had many many talks, and gripe sessions and laughs about being mothers ourselves. I love that we have that much more in common and I can talk to her and tell her how I really feel without thinking that she'll think I'm a crazy lady or ridiculous for feeling that way. I can call her after a long day and cry about all the dumb things that happened that I know I'm being childish about but she lets me do it and then laughs about it the
next day with me. I love you Kristen!  
I hope that one day my children will say this about me...
All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.

Here's for you Denise :P ....

I'm been really horrible at updating my blog...mainly because I have nothing fun to share. My parents were here this weekend and all the cute pictures of my boys are on their cameras (note to self..get way better at taking pictures!) so until I can get copies words will have to do. I've been sick, that's all there really is to say about me. Lots of puking, and lots of avoiding anything that makes me puke more! I'll have to have Jon take a picture but I am already in maternity clothes and have a rather big bump already (at least it feels that way!) We find out what we're having I don't know when but I imagine 6-8 weeks. My Dr usually has had me have my big ultrasound until I'm about 20 weeks and he'll only guess if he's really positive he's right. I might have to recruit my friend Shauna who's an ultrasound tech to just do one for me before that. We'll see, I'm really anxious to find out what we're having but don't really have a preference. My cousin Kristen just had her baby and I can't wait to snuggle her but she is the darn cutest thing ever. So a girl might be lots of fun! Although it seems like I always have opposite of what everyone else is having! Jon's been a stinker (it's true honey!) about talking about names. I'm sure he gets sick of me always talking about it even when I'm not pregnant but I think it's just in a girls nature. Really what girl didn't have a big old list started when she was in 6th grade on the inside of her journal?! So I just talk about it and he just listens for now anyway! I told him that if he didn't give me some feed back I'd just name the baby whatever I wanted to! The boys don't really have a clue or at least get whats going on. I was talking to Kael about it the other day and we were talking about my bigger belly and that a baby was growing inside. I told him when the baby gets bigger then it would come out and we could hold it. He said to me like I was an idiot..."Mom babies are little not bigger!"


Kind of a lame update...sorry...have a great day!
