My girls are my world

Tyler has been home for over a week now. It has been really nice to have my best friend and companion on my side. The only thing is that if Tyler is home we are not making any money to pay the bills. Im trying not to think about that tho.

Today we went to the mall and had Flora's ears pierced. She did wonderful the holding still part seemed worse than the actual piercing. Tyler didnt watch he said he turned his head, I was holding her , she cried for a second but that's all. I gave he baby Tylenol before we left to be sure she had some relief. It was cute tho Tyler picked out her earrings they are blue/turquoise flowers I was leaning towards white or pink but we let daddy pick.

Flora started smiling right at 3 months ; she has always smiled but is now smiling to people , things reactions rather than just gas. She loves her daddy and sisters. They love her as well. Brooky tries to hold her by herself and lucia wants to also be mommy. The girls all told Flora how good she did after her ears were pierced it was cute they were so proud of her!

When we got home tonight we switched a little bit of furniture around but guess what happened when we got home?

Flora rolled over from her tummy to back for the first time!!!

4th of July


This evening was wonderful! We spent quality time with our family. I know that that may sound simple but lately those times of just us are hard to come by. All day we were together. Tyler and his dad worked on getting out the birds from the carport early this morning but they were done by 10am. I guess that is early but now I realize why we go to bed so early as well we are defiantly a go go go family. Having Tyler on call 24 7 takes a toll on our schedules and my emotions. It is an amazing blessing that we have a job. The economy seems to have steadily declined I keep looking for the "ups". But then I realized that we are so blessed and that I have nothing to complain about; when I really look at it. We have hard times paying the bills and who really knows how long we will be able to keep our heads above water but we are blessed.

Today after being together as just us we went up to my mother and father in laws house "nanna" and "grandpas" for dinner. After dinner and goofing around along with me being me we then trucked down to our home for fireworks. We bought one but grandpa was amazing at having a huge pack along with sparklers and poppers. I guess Tyler and Brooky would call them "snaps"

Its interesting to watch all of our girls different personalities shine through during events such as fireworks. BrookLynne needed a heads up and "practice" along with "warnings" all day long. I knew I had to prepare her. All day I told her about the loud sounds and bright lights. She practiced putting her fingers in her ears - by tonight she was ready.
Lucia is fearless and wanted to be right up and close- this scared me BrookLynne was timid to touch the sparklers and Lucia wanted to light her own. Flora didnt even flinch to the noise or sound.

Besides the rain it was a great evening.

10pm and im wiped bed time

My sister Had her baby!

This is me today with 79 days left until we meet our little girl! We are toying with naming her Jane after her grandpa James but I dont think we will know for sure until we meet her. She is getting big and I can fell everything she does :) I am feeling great and hope now that I can just get enough energy to clean my house! I want it to be nice when She comes home. It has been a long time since I have been able to do much so I am enjoying everyday of being healthy. It is interesting how much we appreciate simple blessings when we lose them. I Love my girls! Lucia is 15 months and BrookLynne is 3 in May! BrookLynne is finally potty trained completely (except at night) and Lucia is now running everywhere! Tyler is still working for Action Target and wishes he wasn't but we are thankful for a job. We are still praying to find something that will pay the bills. I love Tyler he is my best friend and I am so thankful for his love, devotion and hard work. The most exciting thing tho has to be how wonderful it was to go to relief society on Sunday! It has been forever since I have physically been able to handle it - The spirit was so strong and I know that the Church is True.
Sonja and David had this gorgeous little Boy yesterday morning! He was 6pds 4 oz exactly how much I weighed when I was born! He is so precious I cant wait to meet Him! Congratulations Sonja and David!

Christmas 2010















































































Our Christmas Blessings

We have been hit really hard from this economy downfall. I know that we are not alone but anyone who is there with us knows how discouraging it can be. This year we randomly had bought a trike and a play kitchen for our kids about 9 months ago when we had a few dollars to spend. I was completely OK with only having those gifts for our girls. someone else tho made sure that our girls had an amazing Christmas. We received a box on our porch 3 days before Christmas. It was a beautiful gift of love and kindness. I have always heard the stories of things like this happening but I never thought that it would happen to us. Whoever you are We want to say Thank You -
