Christmas Wish List

Any of you that read my sisters blog saw that she just posted a Christmas Wish list and it got me to thinking....this is fun. last night Shauna was going with Jack through the "Toys R Us" Wish book and it was pretty sunny to watch the kid dream! Here is my Christmas wish list. I do realize that most of it is dreaming, so I will start out big and then get a bit more practical....Although I do have a birthday coming up next month. With a 3rd child coming this Christmas I am really dreaming of a bigger car. Justin and I love this new Ford Flex.
I love my VW so this new van of theirs really catches my eye as well.

Okay this picture is tiny...Any of you that have been in my house know that we are in serious need of some new couches. I really want some dark brown leather ones.

I know I am probably the only one that is almost 30 without and ipod so I think its time. (remember I didn't have a cell phone until last summer) So I really want Santa to bring me an ipod and and ihome.

I LOVE these products from Bath and Body works, so anything "Sleep" is a good gift for me

And last I could use another mini muffin pan......really bad!

And the most important thing I want this year is a healthy baby with a name (I am freaking out that we don't have one yet, we cannot agree on anything) Oh and it would be nice to just lose all of my baby weight magically by the new year!

Thanks Sissy!

So last night I had a dream that Shauna quit her job at anthropology and said, " I just need to be more available at night to help my sister"..........I know this sounds crazy but I wouldn't be surprised. I just need to give a HUGE shout out to Shauna! I don't know what I did before she lived here. She is babysitting, or hanging out with me when Justin is gone like almost every night. So Thanks Sissy!!!!


Also since she helps me out so much I will try to help her out a little by plugging her here. Shauna has an awesome little business where she does custom paintings of any photo. You can check out her shop, "Little Shop of Shavs", the link is on my side bar. These would make great Christmas presents and right now she is doing a special if you order in October you get $30 off any size.

Getaway for Mommy!

A couple of weekends ago some of my girlfriends and I decided it was time to get away. We took a short trip to St. George to do.......well nothing! It was great, we shopped, ate, went the the R.S. broadcast, ate, got pedicures, and stayed up until all hours of the night just having fun. Alex, Shauna, Me, Rissa and Michelle

And this is a little of what went on at home while I was gone. That's right, forts! Daddy is the ultimate fort builder and as you can see the boys were in heaven!
And this picture was just too cute to pass putting up. Just trying to fill daddy's shoes!

Brain Dump.

So my sister does this on her blog and I have so much going on that I thought this would be a good format to let it all out!

• This whole car accident thing is making me a crazy person. I don't even care anymore, I want money for all of my hassle.....and it has been a ton. I have been going to Physical Therapy 2-3 times a week, which mind you takes 1-2 hours and I have to find a babysitter...pain in the neck, literally


• I went to turn in my rental car on Friday (my anniversary) after 32 days I was so thrilled to get my car back. Well that excitement was quickly gone when i went to turn in the rental car and apparently it had a scratch that was not there when I got the car. I decided against the "accidental" insurance that was $15 a day so guess what, I had to pay $500 to return the car....happy anniversary to me. Even if I would have gotten the extra insurance to cover me from this happening, because I had the car for 32 days I would have paid $480 anyways, so I was screwed either way, and I refuse to be out that money because someone hit me!


• My anniversary was on Friday. Love you Honey, 6 years. We have finally been married for longer than we dated. This January we will have known each other for 12 years. He is the best. We went out to dinner and that was pretty much it since I spent $500 earlier that day on the rental!


• I can no longer sit through a movie. The candy gave me bad heartburn and sitting for that long my my ribs felt like they were bruised, I am just getting really huge and uncomfortable.


• Justin is really wanting this baby to be named after some sort of historical figure, it has to be a last name and he prefers it to end in an "N" since all of our names do........geez, this guy is so difficult. We like Edison, but I am not a fan of Ed or Eddie which would be pretty much unavoidable so I don't know. If you can think of anything PLEASE let me know.


• Jackson learned about pets today at school and Lincoln was so excited to put on the ears and collar that he made. Isn't he the cutest. Jack has had so much happening that Lincoln hasn't been on here as much. Or as he likes to refer to himself, "Stinky Pete" today at the store a lady asked him his name and that is what he told her. Also the last 2 times we have been shopping for some reason when we passes the cases of beer Lincoln shouts, "hey mommmy looks its daddy's drink".....have no clue on this one!

Bike Fest

Justin has been so busy at work with everything Skeletal Metal. This weekend he had to go to "Bike Fest" they had a booth and Justin was sent to take some pictures for the website of the happening's there. Jack went with him and had an absolute blast.
He took a liking to the "Skeletal Metal Girls" and apparently this one took a liking to him to.....I know I am very okay with the fact that my husband is sent to take all sorts of pictures of these girls while I am at home big fat and pregnant!
So check out the site, Justin has been working so hard and this company is really taking off. I am so proud of all of his hard work. Everything you see as far as the website, logos, t-shirts, banners, even some of the jewelry has been designed my my hubby.

Jack's First T-Ball Game

Go Little Sox!!! I made this team banner, which was fun! Jack was so excited to start the game
Here he is with one of the coaches warming up and stretching

In the dugout waiting to start
I love the back of the jerseys, Go #48!

Here is the video of Jack's first time up to bat. He got a little confused and started running towards 3rd base. Lincoln was his #1 fan, cheering and screaming. Luckily there was a park right behind us because Lincoln was done after the first inning.

Jack Singing Chris Brown

Primary Program

So I am retarded and did the video like as if i was taking a picture, so now its turned to the side. Sorry, you will get the picture. Here are also pictures of Jack before church. He did a great job in the program he got a little nervous when he was up to do his part so he laughed a little at the end of it, we were so proud.

T-Ball Practice

So Jack had his first T-Ball practice last night. It was seriously the cutest thing ever. I had to remind myself that I would have a whole season worth of games and practices to take pictures. Jack loved it and I actually think he will do really good. So last night was a glimpse into the rest of my life, sports with the boys and we are so excited! He he is warming up doing some stretching.


Of course his best little buddy Connor is on his team and they were being so cute together.

Picky Palate

So I have been lead to this wonderful blog called the "Picky Palate" it has so many fun and easy recipes. Of course I have only tried some of the sweets, but neither disappointed. http://pickypalate.blogspot.com/

This first picture is of the Peanut Butter Surprise Cookie Cups, DELICIOUS!!!

I made these mini cinnamon rolls on lollipop sticks for Jackson's preschool class today and apparently they were a hit!

Park Pictures

So Shauna borrowed her boss' fancy camera this weekend and so we decided to go to the park and have a little photo shoot. Here are some of my favorites. I don't think these boys could be any cuter and I am so excited for the next photo shoot with 3 of my boys!

Good Bye "Bubbies"

Lincoln has been sleeping with this blanket (well we have 3 that we rotate so i can wash them) since he was a baby. He would suck on that thing all day if I let him. Well the other day as we were brushing his teeth we noticed that he is developing an overbite. Maybe he just got that from me, I had a great one when I was younger, (thanks mom and dad for the braces!) but we know that him sucking on this thing will only make it worse. We have gone 2 nights now, but haven't quite got the nap down. He is growing up and it makes me a little sad.

Out of the Mouth of Jack

I know I have been doing quite a few of theses posts lately, and really Jack says a lot of funny things all of the time, but I have now decided I better start documenting them so we can remember.

Last night Justin wanted Jack to snuggle with him while they were watching a show, Jack kept responding my saying, "Dad you are just too hot!" Justin kept saying, "no I am not, what are you talking about?" and then this little gem came out of Jack's mouth,

"Dad your body is covered with hair, that is why you are really hot!"

Good Point Jack!

And then today Jack had his friend Connor over, and Connor came to me crying and saying that Jack hurt him. So I called for Jack asking him what happened. Well he thinks he is so smart so he responded with,

"Mom, I didn't hurt Connor my hand did."

Hate to break it to you Jack but your hand is controlled by you. So then he came over and made a little puppet out of his hand and had his hand in a funny voice say sorry to Connor.

Fun with Daddy

I seems like Justin has been gone a lot lately with work and his calling so the boys are always so excited for the weekend when daddy doesn't have to work. I had to snap a few pictures of them in action yesterday.

Batman Buddies

Jack and Connor are the best of buddies. I think they saw each other almost everyday of last week. When I pick up Jack from Connor's house he will always ask if Connor can come to our house, and then we switch. Last week at Target I saw these Batman PJ's on clearance for $6 and there were two left so I had to get one for each of them. Now it seems to be their new uniform. I just couldn't resist taking these pictures of them.
