ok. i know it has been a long ol' time and i have been harassed for not posting more often. i dont really have any real excuses so i will give a brief review of the past 5 months.

august--
reunion with matt's family. fun times. 8th wedding anniversary. super dupe.

september--
ian's 5th birthday. awesome yo. matt out of town a whole heck of a lot. not so much awesome yo.

october--
colin's 2nd birthday. cute face. trip to star valley. fun and freezing. weezer concert ..off the hook.
matt's 34 birthday. depressing. halloween. loved it! matt out of town a whole lot again.

november--
matt out of town again..luckily his las trip of the year..thanksgiving in freezing cold st george. i loved it. my mom is the best cook in the whole world and we have not been able to spend thanksgiving with her for years. we pilrimaged and bunked with her as the house we were supposed to rent fell through. thanksgiving day was filled with food and fun. nothing is better than eating and hanging out with the fam. mmm...pie.
black friday shopping was fun. i got a few things but the workers are what make me keep coming back year after year. they are so serious and act like $4 pjs are the best thing that has ever happened to mankind. so i went to walmart at 4:00 with two of my sisters carrie and christi. carrie didn't need to buy anything so she was going to camp out by the pjs. i needed a new camera so i opted for the camera line and then christi needed some video games accessories and she waited in that line. At 4:50, i heard this lightning like sound of hungry shoppers shredding the protective shrink wrapping with their teeth and grabbing whatever they could. At 4:51, i had three cameras in hand and went to saunter off to find carrie. i found carrie patiently waiting until 5. i explained that all the electronic stuff was gone and to grab some pjs. the chic in charge of pjs shot me the look of death and said it was 4:57 not 5:00 yet. truly priceless. big ticket items are already leaving the store and she won't let anyone take their pjs. i guess she is entitled to a power trip. good times. saw twilight twice. great.
our family christmas party was on sunday. it was great to start the holiday season off with a party. i think the favorite gift received were goldfish filled bubblegum machines. everytime someone opened one my neice, maycee, would freak out and get all excited.

and last night, we had a joint triple threat birthday party for chics in my ward who have birthdays on the 11th and 12th of december. we karaoked and danced in a circle. i think i lost 5 lbs laughing so much. it was so much fun. so thanks to all who came and made it fun. baby bye bye bye. bye. bye

Memory of you

Here's how you do it-

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

trip to the endodontist

i went to the endodontist and as he was drilling away and the discovered my root was too short and that i would need an implant instead of anything else. so luckily today i only had to spend a fraction of the cost of getting my tooth fixed and then i will just have to sell my kids to pay for the rest of my implants..why oh why dont we have dental insurance?

4 dentist visits and a partridge in a pear tree

so..it has been forever so i will update everyone of our days. i took ian to see a dentist for a check up because the last dentist i went to said i needed to see a pediatric dentist instead of a regular one. so i took him and unfortunately he has my crapola teeth so needed work done so we scheduled a visit to PCMC to get his teeth worked on while under anesthesia. he did really well and when he woke up he said he his teeth were shiny and clean.
meanwhile, one of my teeth started to hurt so i went to my dentist and he informed me that i needed to see an endodontist instead of him. so i went and was told i needed to come back to on tuesday. so last week i was at the dentist monday, wednesday and friday and tomorrow will be the last i see the dentist for a while but then i have to see the oral surgeon to work on my implants..crazy crazy! why cant we have diamond teeth?
matt's grandma passed away on thursday. she was very kind and her health has been declining over the past couple of years and after she had a stroke on tuesday nobody thought she would make it much longer. so we are sad to see her go but grateful that she is no longer in pain and has her husband to greet her.
matt and i are going to monterey, ca in about a week for a early anniversary weekend and he has to do some work there too so luckily his work will pay for it. anyway i think that is it..summer is crazy busy! i am hoping once july is over nothing will come up.

LEGO INDIANA JONES!!!

If it is made of Lego blocks, I will buy it. come on, what is cuter than shooting bad guys and having them explode into little blocks, building little lego contraptions so you can cross a snake filled gorge. Lego Indiana Jones came out on tuesday and i it killed me to wait until wednesday to buy it. overall it is harder than lego star wars but it is more innovative. two thumbs up! buy it yo! i love it!!!

I am not spoiled, DANG IT!

Recently, i have caught some flack for being spoiled and lazy by someone who should know better. in the past two days, i have fixed our sprinklers, weeded weeds, planted flowers, mowed the lawn, ate some weeds, chopped down my giant tree in my front yard, figured out what i needed to fix our fence to avoid a fine and went and took care of it, got three strikes in a wii game of bowling, beat matt at boxing at the wii 17 knock outs(i dare anyone to beat that), cleaned the house, been a mom all the while doing everything else. for stay at home moms everywhere, we ARE NOT lazy and/or spoiled. i guess it depends what your definition of spoiled is. do my kids love me? yes...do i love them? yes..do i love my husband? yes..am i lucky enough to stay home? yes..does it take sacrifices. yes..i guess to my brothers benefit i did wear steve madden flip flops while doing all my chores. but then again they cost me $8 at ross..so think before you speak lil' buddy.
