2010-11-20T17:47:00.000-08:00

Dear Santa,

Its me, again. So...um I really want MDS.......which is My Digital Studio by Stampin' Up! I think it would be great to get me caught up on the very neglected scrapbooks I have started. I believe it would make me that much more succesful with my little time I have to be creative. I also cant really present it to my customers, since I do not have it to use. When asked about I say, "Well its this amazing digital software, that allows to to make hundreds of projects. From Cards, Scrapbook pages, calendars, business cards, tags, the possiblities are endless. I have used it once and fell in love." Please grant this big girls wish list, by getting me this software, I promise not to bug you for the rest of the season."

Love, Tiff

Ok so if your wondering what the heck? I am in a contest to win this product. I would love, love to get it. I always put off getting it, cause I have so many other things go to the top of my list.

I Heart Halloween

2010-10-14T12:16:00.001-07:00

Ryan made this board for me....He took out the Mirror and glued in Chicken Wire so I have a super fun display.

I had, had to make this Halloween Countdown for Kolby....Everyday he gets a treat....we are a few days behind. Oh and yes, I made the clock a few years ago.

Thanks to Charisse, I am totally crazy for these tissue paper pom-poms. I bring out a few more every few days. :)

Okay so I dont mean to brag, but I think this is pretty stinkin' cute. I got the fram from DI for a buck, painted it black, tied ribbon around it. I printed the saying on the computer, stamped the bats and spider webs, made the stockings and shoes from paper.....and presto! Isnt it totally cute?

I made the witch shoes from paper too, and printed off the labels. Like the title says "I heart Halloween." Oh if I update there will be more to come.

What a Kid!

2010-10-14T12:14:00.000-07:00

Can you believe I found these Lederhosen's at the DI for $3.00, I just couldnt leave them there. Oh I love the DI.

My Summer Goals

2010-06-02T16:46:00.000-07:00

In no particular order.
1. Go camping, wait we did that last night it was awful, at least Kolby had fun.
2. Post a least once a week.
3. Have Kolby potty trained. Anyone with tips on this would be awesome.
4. Make 1 card a day....really that would be awesome./Catch up on scrapbooking
5. Can, Can, can...but thats at the end of summer.
6. Have 2 boys in their own bed, ha ha funny, but it would be nice. (We really need to get a full size mattress for Kolbys new bed, thanks Jennie & JD for the bunk bed)
7. Clean out stuff, have a Yard Sale. :)
8. Have a Stampin' Up! Open House w/JaNae, she does Mary Kay.
9. Go to Eclipse, I know I am a nerd, but I really cant think of ten goals.
10. Work on reading scriptures more, oh and swearing less.

Kord is so big!!!

2010-04-02T17:57:00.000-07:00

Kolby is really impressed Kord is eating with us now. Turn off the music and turn up the volume. If you cant make out what Kolby says its "Good Buddy, you eat boobs and beef!"

Chores

2010-04-02T17:55:00.001-07:00

Kolby took it upon himself to do chores, which consisted of feeding his horse. Cute huh? Below the horse was a bucket of hay as well.

Clearance Rack

2010-04-01T10:24:00.001-07:00

Hey everyone, I am selling Stampin' Up! now. If anyone would like to order, have a party or start up a club, please let me know. Thanks.

I heart Mr. Brown

2010-03-11T12:30:00.000-08:00

I made this for our UPS guy, Mike. Since I am selling Stampin' Up! he comes about twice a month, sometimes more. Its really like Christmas when he does come. I hope he likes it. I know I may have way to much time on my hands, but its dang stinkin' cute.

Boys and their toys

2010-03-10T17:12:00.000-08:00

Jump, Jump....

2010-03-10T17:10:00.001-08:00

Till you just can't jump anymore.

Josie was shot

2010-03-05T17:07:00.000-08:00

A local police officer was shot a killed in the line of duty, here in Millard County. The girls took me out to eat during the funeral purchesion. It was so amazing to see how many police cars, flags, motorcades, and fellow servicemen and women in attendance. You can read all about it here

This is the flag that flew at Ground Zero.

Kolby's 3

2010-03-05T17:00:00.001-08:00

Thank goodness the week of Kolby's Birthday is over. We went up to my Dads house for a few days. Tuesday night we went to Texas Roadhouse, they sang "Happy Birthday." Wednesday we got snowed in, so my dad through him a little party. Thursday, Ryan's parents took him to build-a-bear. Friday was New Years, and he watched the ball drop. He informed us that, "next year he wants to party in road!" He also asked, "Where's my cake?" On Saturday, our friends had us over for dinner, they sang to him then. Finally....on Sunday we had cake with the family and that was the LAST day of celebrating turning 3. WOW!!!

Christmas...came and went

2010-03-05T16:45:00.001-08:00

Kord is so big!!!
What a goober!

This is was such an amazing Christmas. I learned a very valuable lesson on charity. Ryan had been laid off since February, and was supposed to start working the beginning of December for a dairy, it fell through. Word got out, and in a little town it does not take much. Every time we left our house for 2 weeks straight, there was either packages left at our house or money inside a card, with no signature, even while at church. I do not know who did it , but thank you!! I now know that if anything were to ever happen to Ryan, the boys and I will be taken care of. I believe in people again.

I want Blog Candy too.

2010-01-25T13:12:00.000-08:00

I was checking out who updated their blogs, since I am a slacker. Well, Bobbie had on blog candy from another blog.....well I really want it too. So go check it out http://paper-rose-petals.blogspot.com/search/label/Blog%20Candy%20Alert I dont know how to set up the link so there you go.

Kord 2 Months

2009-12-12T03:55:00.000-08:00

My Ham and My Cheese

Can you believe my little guy is already 2 months old? He is getting more and more fun everyday. Kolby just loves him to pieces. I crack up when Kord cries and Kolby says, "Feed um, Mom," or "wheres that plug?" We went to the Dr. for his 2 month check up and he weighs 11 lbs 8 oz and is 23 inches long.

Santa

2009-12-12T03:51:00.000-08:00

What could be better than the excitement of a 3 year old on Santas lap and the joy of watching Tim Allen's "The Santa Clause" over and over and over.

You know its cold when......

2009-12-12T03:47:00.000-08:00

Your bananas freeze on the way home from the grocery store,

or when you wake up and their is ice on the inside of the windows
Ahh!! I hate cold weather, but when it snows it sure looks pretty.

SNOW

2009-12-12T03:40:00.000-08:00

We have snow, and wow quite a bit actually. Kolby just loves eating, playing and then some in the snow. For me it is way to cold, in fact it makes me shiver just looking at the pictures.

You know its cold, when your cheeks match your hat.

He was smiling, I promise.

Kord is getting so big!!!

2009-11-16T19:58:00.000-08:00

I can't believe he is already 1 month old. I am so happy I have 2 wonderful kids. Hopefully soon Kord will realize sleep is so much fun, especially for his parents. Oh and if you have not heard of Gripe Water, its amazing and you need to get some if you have a fussy kid.

Aren't these socks the cutest?
I was so glad I realized that this outfit was 0-3 months, cause he is my Chunky Monkey

How Ryan and Kolby take him in the bathroom for his bath. Yes, that is a semi and underneath Kord is the trailer.

Multi-Use

2009-11-16T19:47:00.001-08:00

Have I ever mentioned how funny Kolby is and how he always keeps us on our toes? Here he is with his "Derby Car" and my breast pump, yes you read that right, my breast pump. If you are wondering it fills his tires with air. I was kind of in shock, Ryan was laughing so hard and telling me to get the camera and quick.

Some of the funny things he has said recently.....
"Its delicious, like heaven"
"All he needs is rolls on his forehead"
"Put it on facebook"
We love Greys Anatomy, well we DVR it and watch it later. Kolby wanted to watch that "Dr. Show" so we were watching, as they were doing surgery he kept asking ,"why and what are they doing?" We were both getting a bit annoyed, so Ryan said, "This is not the gallery." Without skipping a beat Kolby replied, "maybe it is the gallery."

Happy Halloween

2009-11-04T11:25:00.000-08:00

Our boys make the cutest pets
Ryans Mom made Kolby's costume, he was so cute and loves playing Kitty.

Ryan cannot stand the texture of pumpkin guts.

Kords 1st Week

2009-11-03T19:26:00.000-08:00

Ryan grabbed the camera and got this funny smirk

Brothers hard at play, I mean sleep
Oh I love the sun
1st bath
Oh so nice

Elk Hunting at Our House

2009-11-03T19:10:00.000-08:00

Kolby is so obsessed with hunting. Here he is playing the big hunter and Ryan got roped into being the elk.

Hospital Pictures

2009-10-29T16:42:00.000-07:00

We did not take our camera to the hospital, I know not thinking. Ryans Mom took all the good pictures and they are posted on facebook. Sorry! But these are the ones after we got our camera.
Yes, he has a bow. My friend Eschel works at the hospital and its just tradition she put a bow on my newborns head...she did it with Kolby too.

My Dad with grandson number 6. I am so glad to be home and have my entire family together. Kolby was not able to come to the hospital, no one under 14 due to the pig flu. I am grateful for all the help my amazing Mother-in-law gave me and my family. I am so blessed to have her in my life, we have gone through some rough spots, but she is one of my best friends. Ryan for his love and support. Kolby for being such an amazing big brother and tough guy for Mommy. My Dad for coming down and taking Ryan and Kolby out. Matt for hanging out with Kolby when Grandma was sick. I also want to thank Emily for being so amazing and coming to stay the night with me at the hospital, you are such an angel, Thank You!!

Love My Kid

2009-10-29T16:27:00.000-07:00

Ryan took pictures of Kolby and I the day before the baby was born so I could scrapbook expecting pictures. I know I am a bit out there. Kolby was such a good sport. He loved talking into my belly button to his brother.Kolby kissing his Brother
My little smoocher. Kolby is such an amazing kid and he just makes me so happy. I love him to pieces.

The Roadster

2009-10-01T20:35:00.000-07:00

While we were up at my dads the boys went for a cruise. My dad has 2 classic cars, this one is Ryan's favorite and I think its Kolbys too. Kolby was so excited to go, and really wanted to leave the truck, and he could just sit on my lap on the way home.

I never got Ryan paying attention to the camera....at least Kolby was looking.
What a super excited little kid. All week he has told us we need to go to Delta and buy a roadster.

Elk Hunt

2009-10-01T20:31:00.000-07:00

Pop wanted some pictures of Kolby with the elk. Well here they are. He went hunting a few weeks ago and got a bull it scored 300.

Side view
What a goober.

Bum Crack

2009-10-01T20:26:00.000-07:00

Ryan's little brother Matt, watched Kolby while we went to our OB appointment today. Lucky for Matt, he got to change a poopy diaper..........well when Kolby bent over Ryan and I realized that there was not much coverage in back. Its a good thing he is past blow outs. Do you think he would make a good plumber?

My Dad Elk

2009-09-30T05:15:00.000-07:00

We had the funniest pictures from over the weekend of Kolby standing with his head between the horns of my dads elk. Well I didnt put in the memory card and I cant figure out how to get them off of my internal memory. Sorry

Fishing with Pop

2009-09-30T05:04:00.000-07:00

Last week we went fishing with Poppa Scott. My dad was over in Manti, he had been Elk Hunting. Kolby thinks his camper is now his Manti House. Oh what a kid

My Dad and Kolby
The Boys and their adventures. Kolby was so stinking excited to reel in the fish with his fishing pole. Oh it was the first time he had ever been fishing, so he didn't quite know what to expect.

All smiles with reeling in the little fish, but there was no way in the world he was having the fish near him. Oh, when we got there I baited his hook for him, when I opened the worms, he's all "Snakes?" It was pretty cute.

Pop's Work

2009-09-06T22:04:00.000-07:00

It's been a little bit since an update. Last weekend was the Sanpete County Fair and my Dad entered one of his cars in the car show. Since he is semi-retired due to the wonderful economy, he has been able to do a lot of things he normally is out of town for. Well, Kolby is completely convinced that a Car Show is "Pop's Work." I think its hilarious. I am so grateful for the relationship I know have with my Dad, for a time I could have cared less if I knew him and that is sad. I really don't know what I would do without him, he has became someone I can always depend on and we have some great talks. Oh and my little guy absolutely adores him.
Kolby and Pop Scott (a.k.a. Mommy's Daddy) He got awarded best in his class, thats the smaller trophy, and best custom, thats the big one. Well Kolby thinks that the little one is his, he won it.

Ryan took Kolby on the Train and Merry-Go-Round. The signs all say no pregnant women, well anyway I went to buy tickets and the guy seriously tried to deny me. He said "You can't buy these, you cant ride." I was very irritated and explained that they are for my 2 year old and husband. I was finally able to purchase them. Oh and did I mention it was $1 a ticket=3 tickets per ride/per person so $12 bucks for the two of them to ride 2 rides. Oh well we had a fun afternoon with Pop Scott at his work.

Ultrasound 08/17/09

2009-08-19T04:10:00.000-07:00

I finally got it figured out, how to scan that is. We had an ultrasound on Monday, because I am measuring to big. Well Kord, thats the name we have decided on is transverse(position he is in) everything is normal and looks good. Check out the little guys cheeks.

Our Boys are Growing

2009-06-03T15:48:00.000-07:00

Yes you read that title right we are expecting in October another Boy, yepee. Kolby is going to be a big brother. I would show off the ultrasound picture, but I am a retard and cant get it to scan. Sorry

Two is a great age

2009-06-03T15:41:00.000-07:00

I get my daily humor from Kolby....this picture is what he was determined getting ready for church was, all you need is boots. We have been working on the Alphabet and Vowels. His Vowels are "A-E-I-O-Me", and if you get an "I love you" its more like "I love Me." Oh yes he has learned that his middle finger gets lots of attention and likes to show his Uncle Matt (Ryans lil bro) it. I love having a two year old, its so much fun. I love being able to teach and show him things and getting reactions. "Oh my Gosh" apparently I say it a lot, cause Ryan was laughing hysterically when Kolby said that.

The Zoo with Grandpa Scott

2009-06-03T15:34:00.000-07:00

We went up to my Dad's in the middle of the week. We went swimming at the Rec center, it was so much fun. Then the next day we went to the Zoo. Wow, so impressive!!! Kidding, every other exhibit was closed, and Kolby was pretty mad there was no Alligators or Chimps. We took a train ride and saw sheep, donkeys, oh and buffalo. The reaction was hilarious, we have those in Oak City and Kolby was not to thrilled. The gift shop was the funnest, we took pictures of Kolby of each one of these giraffes. Oh my Dad scared the crap out of him, he put on a Gorilla mask and got down on all fours, wow can that kid book it. Thanks Dad for the fun time and lunch.

To much Jon & Kate Plus 8

2009-06-03T15:27:00.001-07:00

If any of you watch Jon & Kate Plus 8........well Kate took a picture of their kids with their first poop in the potty. This is not Kolby's first, but I wanted a picture. He was great to pose and give thumbs up! Notice the paper, he thinks he has to take care of business just like Dad. Oh he is growing up, and I am becoming the crazy Mom who posts pictures of her kids poop.

What you've missed

2009-06-03T15:20:00.000-07:00

Kolby and I both had dentists appointments.....This is Kolby's first dentist visit, he did wonderful...no cavities and now the sweet boy is so concerned about everyone having "buggies" aka cavities. It was my first visit in 8 years, yes a little vacation, which I would not recommend doing. It was okay though, no cavities. Now the chore is to get Ryan to go to the dentist.

Daredevil Little Kid

2009-04-05T17:23:00.000-07:00

Sorry I have been a super slacker on blogging a lot has been going on. Our little boy has had spring fever really bad. Today was the first decent day in weeks, so we met up with some of Ryan's cousins (Aaron 24, by the way single-no crazies please and Jacob) at the "Dunes." Kolby thinks he is some kind of stunt rider and loves to scare us. Jacob caught this video and posted it on YouTube. I couldn't figure out how to upload it, so if you want to check it out on YouTube its " Daredevil Little Kid"

Stampin Up

2009-01-27T15:15:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone I am having a Stampin Up Party Saturday Feb. 28th at 11:00 am.....so if anyone is interested let me know

In-n-Out

2009-01-09T14:35:00.000-08:00

For all of you who have been to Chadders in American Fork its an In-n-Out knockoff, yes they did get into a lot of trouble for copying. I heard also that In-n-Out will be putting a restaurant in AF, I was really excited when I heard this, but also very leery. I called the In-n-Out Corporation myself today. There is no plans regarding franchise expansion, and there never was a settlement in putting one in AF. Sorry, people the drive is still to St. George or if your heading to Cali call me up.

RECIPE

2009-01-07T14:04:00.000-08:00

Make a Smilebox recipe

Bobbie had this recipe posted on her blog and I thought I would use, since my family is always asking for the recipe.

Kolby Turned 2

2009-01-06T11:23:00.000-08:00

The little man turned 2 last week. So we had a horse birthday party for him, thanks to everyone who came, it was a lot of fun.

I got a book on Cupcakes and Kolby had to have these horse cupcakes. The picture in the book of course looked a lot better.
My Dad got Kolby this get up. It was so darn cute, I just had to get lots of pictures. He loves his Bike, thanks Ben and Kelly.

There he is with that Cheesin' Smile again.

Sorry picture happy.

Santa Came and went

2009-01-06T11:13:00.000-08:00

Kolby was so excited for Santa to come. Before Thanksgiving, my sister Rachelle, her husband Augie and my Dad and I took our kids on the Polar Express. Well he was convinced Santa was coming, but Santa comes on a train, and he says, "Ho Ho Ho Daddy."

Kolby got a slide from Santa, which he thinks its way cool.
He has gotten into cheesin when you take a picture. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas.

Gingerbread Barn

2009-01-06T11:08:00.000-08:00

One of Ryans Family Traditions is to make Gingerbread houses before Christmas. This year Ryan and I made a Barn. It turned out pretty cool. All the animals and equipment is from Ryan's Farm Layout.

Happy Fall

2009-01-06T11:03:00.000-08:00

Ryan was trying really hard to get the leaves raked up one afternoon, lets just say Kolby played and I took pictures. We spent the rest of the afternoon, creating piles of leaves to jump in.

What you missed

2009-01-06T04:09:00.000-08:00

I love Halloween, I try to have us dress up in a theme. This year it was rodeo. Kolby was such a great sport, he loved getting his face painted and was overly helpful. Ryan and I try to incorporate our favorite traditions growing up with our family, one of mine is going to the pumpkin patch and picking out the best pumpkin. Of course you have to carve the pumpkin, this year I spent to much time watching the Martha Stewart Halloween specials.

Rodeo Clown
Cleaning Pumpkins, yucky, but oh so much fun

I just love my kid, what a cheese, he was so excited to be at the pumpkin patch. My Dad took Kolby to the pumpkin patch a few days before, they got a pumpkin, ice cream and went on a hay ride....so the whole time Kolby was telling us stories about Pop.

Sorry the pictures are not in chronological order. Ryan and Kolby being themselves at the Pumpkin Patch.

We got over that. I had my Pampered Chef Party, lots of fun and thanks to all those who came/supported me. Hopefully our stuff will be here next week. It is seriously like waiting for Christmas. If anyone would like anything I will be closing my catalog party on the 15th. So we are all still trying to get over colds. Okay sorry about the ramblings, not a whole lot has changed. Oh I have also been canning like crazy person.

I decorated the front porch with corn stalks from the neighbors garden, Thanks Julie!!! I wrapped them with leftover fabric and raffia. We need to get pumpkins, thats this weekends big adventure. I am convinced Kolby has to get his pumpkin from the pumpkin patch, I remember going every year and picking one out.

Gardener in Training

2008-09-08T15:54:00.000-07:00

The way the farmer carries his load, what a kid. Everyday he makes me laugh. Ryan was yelling wheres the camera, hurry get it.
He was so proud of the tomato he picked. Thank goodness its not a green one. We have been trying to teach him that you only pick red ones.

Back in Action

2008-09-08T15:45:00.000-07:00

We are back. Yipee!!! Okay so the middle of August my hard drive completely crashed. I called Tech support they told me to take my comp to Circuit City (Where I bought it) all after 3 hours of trouble shooting. I get there which is 1.5 hours away and they tell me there is nothing the can do. I called Tech Support up again the kid as like "try this" all the same 3 hour story, I was ticked. I asked to speak to a Manager, he put me on hold for 25 minutes and then hung up on me. To make a long story short they is a saint who works for Toshiba, he calmed me down (call #3) sent a box and 2 1/2 weeks later. We are back. Did you know that if you are having comp problems you can talk to someone on the phone, go to a website, punch in a password and they fix it. It is really weird watching applications pop up and your mouse going different places and then kabam its fixed. Sorry for the ramblings.

New Fruities

2008-08-06T09:11:00.000-07:00

Kolby has been thrilled with these new fruit snacks, can you believe it John Deere. We went to Payson to enjoy the awful store of Wal-Mart. We tried to get in and out, I hate that place as much as Kolby does. On the way out the store we ran into Jimi and her boys. It was so great to see them.Don't you love it, I put Kolby on the table while I swept and mopped the floor.

Yahoo!!! Sorry I have been slacking a bit. We have a lot going on, Saturday is my day for club (Stampin' Up), so I have been getting swaps made. We have been getting caught up on the yard and painting rooms in the office.........Oak City Days is next weekend, Ryan's entire extended family on his Mom side will be down for the festivities.

Chargers

2008-07-31T09:34:00.001-07:00

Just for Ryan's cousin Jacob, I had to add pictures of Kolby in his Chargers Jersey. Jacob and Matt(Ryans little bro) have an ongoing battle on NFL teams. Jacob got Kolby this jersey a hat and a shirt, it bugs Matt cause he hates the chargers and its Jacobs fav team. Oh and Im sure it helps to that Kolby loves Jacob. This summer Kolby and I were in Mommy and Me swim classes, well Kolby thought it was great that Jacob lifegaurds at the pool. All the kids were distracted by saying "Hi, Jacob."
I had to get a behind shot too. Thanks Jacob, we love you.

Sick Addiction

2008-07-31T09:30:00.000-07:00

Okay so I have a little bit of an addiction to kids "Crocs" actually these are cheapos, but whenever I see a pair I pick them up for Kolby.

New PJ's

2008-07-30T08:03:00.000-07:00

Kolby is the trend setter. I set out his pajamas so we could get ready for bed. He took his shirt and put them on as pants. His head through the neck and legs through the arm holes. I tried to put his actual pants on and take off his "pants", wow complete meltdown, they stayed. The next day he was showing them off and was so proud. We didnt have any plans to go out so he stayed that way for most of the day.

Racing Suit

2008-07-29T10:11:00.000-07:00

Okay, lets see the funeral went great....Um, oh my brother Brandon got in an accident on the way to the burial. He's okay, thank goodness........as for my niece and sister-in-law who watched the entire accident in the rear view mirror, they are doing surprisingly well.
I met up with my sister Angie, and her family on Sunday up at our Dad's house. It was a lot of fun just visiting and catching up, plus I had only met one of her twins before, so it was great to see all of them.
This is short and sweet, Jennifers kids are down till the 4th of July......Kolby has Mommy and Me swim lessons everyday in Delta, and we have an agenda of things to keep the girls busy so they dont get home sick. We have been making super cute cards, I will post images later.
Well I better run.

My only Grandfather I have ever know passed away yesterday morning. I am so blessed to have been able to know him. It may be weird I posted his obituary notice, but yesterday I sat down with my Grandma and we wrote it together.......so since my brain is mushy today, I figured that would just some it up. I think every time I see wintergreen lifesavers, Hershey kisses and hear "Dolly" I will think of him. Wow, its such a blessing for him to pass, his body really failed him the last few years off his life. Oh and a special thanks to my sweet husband who took the day off, to watch Kolby so I could help my Grandma with whatever she needed.

10 things I am grateful for today

2008-06-17T11:07:00.000-07:00

Central Air by far #1
Dishwasher
Washer/Dryer
Internet
Kolby content playing by himself, and not having me read "DIG"
The crock-pot
DeAnna getting rid of Twilly last night :) finally!!!
Not have the paramedics come get me off the lawn this morning ( I was moving the hose and I almost stepped on a snake, I hate snakes)
Kolby letting me sleep in, so nice....thanks buddy
Hearing my Grandpa say " I love you too" I think that may be the last time, I really hope for his sake, I hate to see him suffer. Okay maybe that should be my #1, but I am so grateful to live in a modern age with modern conveniences

My Amazing Husband

2008-06-15T21:27:00.000-07:00

Ryan is absolutely amazing. He knows how to tick me off and then make me melt about two minutes later. We do mostly melting. I'm so grateful for a husband who listens to the little things I say and material things I want, and I want a lot. He is very supportive to my scrapbooking/stamping obsession....ebay is off limits....bigger addiction for a later blog. I have been wanting a western rhinestone purse forever so he bought me one on Thursday night at the rodeo. Kolby was such a pill at the rodeo. The next night Ryan surprised me with a date, he arranged with his mom to watch Kolby so we could have some alone time. You don't realize how much time a kid or kids take, especially the quality time as a couple. He is always great to kiss me everyday and tell me he loves me, oh and he lets me know how beautiful I am. It makes me smile when I hear how "HOT" he thinks I am, its usually on the days that I am still in PJ's and looks like a train hit me and the house. I love you Ryan.

Kolby & The Kitty

2008-04-29T19:28:00.000-07:00

Kolby luvs his cat. When we moved into our house, the cat was a bonus. He torments the heck out of it and yet the cat still stays around, and is his constant companion.

Summer Fun

2008-04-25T14:37:00.001-07:00

What we do for fun.

Cooking up something special for Mom

2008-04-18T08:28:00.000-07:00

Kolby woke up from his nap yesterday and went straight to the front door opened it, and waved. Funny maybe, but he had never opened the door before.....It took me a little bit to figure out what the heck he was doing. I have come to realize its only going to get worse.

As you can see the cute little smile on his precious face. Thats flour, not snow or dirt. Kolby thought it was so much fun to get into the cupboard and get the flour out and run his skid ster through it. It really could have been prevented if those cupboard locks were out of the package and not sitting in a drawer to be installed.

So much fun. I think I want to be a kid again and drive my parents crazy. Actually come to think of it no I wouldn't. I really put my parents through hell, and I feel really awful about it. So how do you go about saying, I was a completely stupid, emotional, selfish kid?

Curious George

2008-04-17T08:48:00.000-07:00

I am understanding now why, at least I think my childhood nickname was George from my Dad. Kolby is such a curious little kid, not to mention completely normal and into everything. I have been trying to scrapbook and lets just say its been interesting. Well more to come later, I dont know how much later, but Kolby is heading after the cat.

Kolbys new 4 wheeler

2008-04-04T14:58:00.000-07:00

Dont you just love the crack shoot. Kolby cracks me up he gets on his 4 wheeler and tries to kick start it and then you say go and he smashes on the gas. He thinks its pretty cool to stand on the seat and wave, stitches are in our forecast.

Naked Rider. He ran away trying to get ready for bed. What a monkey.

Grandpa Johnson

2008-04-03T07:57:00.000-07:00

Grandpa Johnson is not doing his best, Ryan and I went down to the care center on Monday to visit him. I realized I didn't have a picture with Kolby or Ryan with him so here it is. Its not an amazing picture, I was distracted from by a singing resident. I am so grateful for all the stories he has told to me. I especially love the one where they stayed in Delta for their honeymoon.

SUNDAYS

2008-04-03T07:47:00.000-07:00

Just a little look on what our Sundays usually consist of

sleeping and

food after church. Note: No additives were added to the brownies, Ryan is just retarded. Sorry to everyone who checks my blog, I am horrible on updating.

EASTER

2008-03-26T10:36:00.001-07:00

Kolby thought the plastic Easter eggs were the best. He knew there was candy in them so when we went the to Easter Egg Hunt in the park he found one egg, sat down, opened it and was plum happy. Forget about the rest.

Ryan told him if he started walking he would buy him a pair of boots and a cowboy hat. A week later we headed to IFA. Now he wears his cowboy hat and boots all the time.

Happy Boy, on a sugar high. He got his first power wheels for Easter, a four wheeler, imagine that. I will post pics later.

Breakfast

2008-03-11T04:22:00.000-07:00

Kolby is one spoiled child. Ryan started him on eating Pop Tarts for breakfast about a month ago, oh and he will only eat the Smores kind. This is great because I dont have to make pancakes every morning....you used to ask him what he wanted for breakfast, he would get up in your arms and have you open the cupboard and point to the pancake mix. Well as of about a week and a half ago he wants Golden Grahams breakfast, lunch, and dinner if he could. We ran out and that darling child had a melt down, our date night consisted of going to the store to get more. As you can see the not so thrilled face with the bowl of cheerios.

Kolbys 1st Haircut

2008-02-19T09:01:00.000-08:00

Baby
And now a little boy

Wow, theres a little boy behind all that hair. Ryan gave Kolby his first hair cut, I cried. I cant believe how much a simple hair cut can age a little boy. Oh and Kolby was great he hardly moved.

Kolbys 1st trip to the ER

2008-02-08T10:00:00.000-08:00

I promise he was really sick. It all started out on Wednesday, in the afternoon we were blowing bubbles. Kolby, thinking he was so big took the wand and tried to blow them himself, he ate them instead. He instantly started vomiting, I called poison control, they said he should be fine. He was back to his normal self, ate dinner great and decided Mom and Dad looked so much fun to jump on until 11. Oh back up, the funny thing about calling poison control is that they said, "We expect to hear from you in the next 18 years, so we will take down your info." Our house now has a file.

Thursday morning he did not wake up till 11, which was so nice to sleep in. He got up ate breakfast, threw up again. So I got him out of his clothes and we didnt even make it to the family room he was back to sleep. He sleept till 12:45 woke up for 15 minutes and went back to sleep. As I was accessing the situation, I realize he has not had a wet diaper since the day before, but the thing was he had 4 sippy cups by this time. I was freaked. I called the ped, they were out for the afternoon, and let me remind you its one and half hours away to the Dr . office. So they tell me take him to the Clinic in Nephi, they are booked cant see him. We go up Springville InstaCare, they they met us in the Lobby and sent us to the ER.

ER at Utah Valley, oh what fun, the Dr. kept telling me that he was just nausiated. I got really mad, because he was eating great and drinking like a camel. They gave the poor little guy and IV, blood work, and oh did that piss him off. The tests came back negative, they gave him anti-nausea medicine and fluids. That little stink peerked right up, they again non-stop vomiting. The thing I was worried about was him sleeping. He was awake for 3 hours total yesterday. We get distarged with diagonsis of infant flu. I am still skeptical.

It gets better, on the way home there was a really bad snow storm, we decide to stay in Nephi. The visability was aweful. The only thing avaliable was the Bates Motel, a.ka. The SAFARI. The front desk lady was, well she looked like a stuffed animal, I kid you not. The first room we got the door only locked from the outside.....is that so they can lock up in a stuff us?? The next room better, except you either froze or baked no happen medium on the heat. Then the workers came out with the snow blowers at 7 am. I was ticked. Whats so great about the whole thing is after we checked in the storm lifted and there was no snow from Nephi to Oak City.

Wow!! We made it two years

2008-02-07T11:18:00.000-08:00

Februray 3rd was our Anniversary, we've made it two years. I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband. He left me a cute little note this morning, on how much he loves me. I am so thankful for the ability he has to understand me, even when I am not communicating, to understand or at least pretend to understand how I feel or what bothers me. Ryan I love you.

Families Are Forever

2008-01-27T21:12:00.000-08:00

I have not updated my blog in a few days...a lot of events have transpired. Tonight we watched the news of the passing of our beloved Prophet Gordon B. Hinkley. I sit back in wonder, at all that man has accomplished and done for his beliefs and this world. I remember sitting at the conference he gave about the "Six B's" and gaining the testimony that he is the Prophet of God. I am so blessed to have the knowledge that families can be together forever. Its amazing to think he is now with his bride and the ones he loves so much. God be with you till we meet again.

The wonders of bloging

2008-01-21T22:33:00.000-08:00

A special thanks to sis Angie, for encouraging me to set up a blog........We will see what this adventure has in store for us. I hope you all will enjoy the updates on what life has in store for me and my family.
