A Little Glimpse Into Our World......

Life as a mother of twins

2012-02-01T19:47:00.003-07:00

Alright no judging me here but last night the boys feel asleep on the couch. I woke Cars Man up well ummm what I thought was him and thought to myself he got moving really easy that's unusual for him. Went to wake Clay up and he didn't want to get up I thought this is now really weird he never does this either. As the hubby looks at me really funny I realize I have the boys mixed up. OOPS! What's my problem if anyone should be able to tell them apart it should be me......well this is one of many times and it probably will not be the last. Sorry boys mom LOVES YOU.

Explaining my night in one picture....

Christmas Morning

2012-01-29T08:13:00.006-07:00

Our tradition is to spend Christmas Eve at Mom & Mike's House. It's always a fun evening with family and this year was wonderful great food and nice to visit with all the family. I had my camera sitting right next to me so I don't know why I don't have many picture but this is what I have guess it was MIA I don't know?

If I don't laugh I may just cry.....

2012-01-29T07:15:00.003-07:00

As I sit here life is much better right now. Not that life was horrible my life with electronics was hideous for a month or so. 1st there was the vinyl cutter(see below post), then came the computer problems........and here is the wonderful well not so wonderful story of the computer or should I say computers. The day I got my vinyl cutter up and finally running great my computer decided to take a crap yep I said crap your lucky I didn't say the other word because that's what I'm thinking. I have never in my entire life heard a computer sound like that and my luck my wonderful computer guy had not either(just my luck) neither had the guy with a clean room no information can be recovered. Come to find out the bearing went out in my hard drive. Yeah it gets worse I have not backed up for over a year yep crying at this moment. Wiped my tears and thought of all the good things in life healthy and happy family every ones still alive :) thank goodness my mom has copies of most of my pictures and this wonderful blog has lots as well. My wonderful computer guy dropped a temporary hard drive in to get me up and working again so I could pick up the piece and start making all my lost templates for my business. Oh you think it stops there ha we are talking about me.......temporary computer acts up and dies yep just my luck see like I said do we really need electronics? So now I'm sitting here on my brand new computer and the old one is having a brand new hard drive put in. My hubby loves me so much when it all went down he told me to have a new one built and rebuild the old one so I would have a back up or in my case maybe break two at once I just pray I'm not talented enough to break two at once.

The Story of the vinyl cutter

2012-01-12T16:40:00.003-07:00

Before I start let me just put out there if it were not for my bad luck I would not have any luck at all!

I have been wanting to upgrade my vinyl cutter for some time now. Business has been really busy and the old one is just not cutting it anymore plus I wanted to start doing bigger jobs. So I go in search of a new cutter a little over a year later I find the perfect one for me. So I order and receive the cutter on the 23rd of Dec. I thought everything was going to me wonderful HA oops did I do that out loud. Here come the problems my new beautiful cutter came with no blade holder so I was unable to cut I in essence had an over sized paper weight. A few phone calls later I thought the part was on it's way. hmmm no part came. A few more phone calls later part was on it's way hmmm again another phone call and a lovely conversation part is overnighted yippee skippy I can use my fancy smancy machine now. Get everything set up make my first cut. This wonderful machine cuts awesome with one big problem my beautiful designs that my customers love so very much were getting cut right through oh boy customers are not going to like this. Another phone call problem not fixed grrr. Yet another phone call a new machine is on it's way sweet I will be up and running in no time.

New machine shows up get it all set up and it's........a no go at this pint I'm ready to throw in the towel I'm done! As I set there trying not to cry about the whole thing the hubby gets home he was in dismay that I was ready to cry. He expected to get home to a vinyl makin' wife. Yep not happening with this machine! With a few more phone calls by the way this company and all thier employees yes I mean all their employees know me by my first name. They walk me through some trouble shooting by the time it's all said and done I have a tore apart machine that still does not work. They assure me that this has never happened before as one of the guys said oh I remember you, you still don't have a machine that works Jiminy Christmas what are we going to do with you. Me " overnight me a working machine" not in the nicest voice at this point. So overnighted they did and here I set with my new machine...............and I love it, it's perfect. You thought I was going to say I had another broken one didn't you! One day short of a three week ordeal I'm up and running!

Impatient Puppy

2012-01-07T21:29:00.001-07:00

Ty was sewing up one of bow's toys. Bow wanted the toy back so badly he could hardly stand it. I thought it was so cute him sitting there whining wanting to just rip that toy out of Ty's hands but he was a good boy and waited. Oh yep Ty does know how to use the sewing machine and I put him to work now and again.

2012-01-07T21:22:00.001-07:00

I took this picture on the way back from I.F. today it was so pretty the heavens shining down on us! Just love it. We are given so many beautiful things everyday we just need to slow day and take them in. It's the simple things!

Little Helpers

2012-01-04T13:39:00.001-07:00

The boys are so dang sweet to me most mornings with I come up stairs they have made me toast and gotten a cup out w/ my medicine so I have breakfast and don't forget to take my stuff. Oh how they take care of me. A parent and child relationship is so special not only does the parent take care of and look out for their children in turn the children do the same for the parents. Oh the simple things in life!

Worse then the kids

2012-01-04T13:25:00.001-07:00

Some days I think the dog is worse then the kids I think we have picked up a mess like this once or twice a day the past few weeks. Notice all the stuffing strung everywhere. He loves his chew toys.

Crazy hair day!

2012-01-04T11:24:00.001-07:00

The boys had crazy hair day at school and talked their dad into doing this. They loved it! We shaved it off a few hours after they got home we could not take it anymore. I know we are no fun parents. Hahaha

2012-01-04T11:21:00.001-07:00

Here are a few pictures from the morning we went to track Miss M's elk what a beautiful day.

It's hard to see in this picture but there are a few moose in it.

Miss M's 1st elk

2012-01-04T11:13:00.001-07:00

In November Miss M shot her first elk. We are all so very proud of her. It was an adventure to find the elk but we finally did. She shot the elk Saturday they tracked her until dark. The next day we went out first thing and started tracking we went down one canyon and up across a flat area and back down into a second canyon over a mile away. It was an adventure to get her out but all worked out well and we made it back and have tons of yummy meat in the freezer.

One happy young lady!

Way behind

2012-01-04T11:06:00.001-07:00

Wow we have been so dang busy I have not had time to up date. Well I'm sitting in the dentist office with the kids so I will see how much I can update now. November and December were packed full as always. Lots of parties, family get togethers and just tons of running around. And let the updates begin.

1st Deer

2011-11-12T09:49:00.002-07:00

Yep I know I just said she was an animal lover but she as well likes to hunt. hahaha go figure! Last weekend she shot her first deer and was pretty proud of it (she has some really proud parents as well). Now if she could get her elk as well that would be pretty awesome hunting season.

So last week I went into the doctor to get a few moles removed that we just bothering me no changes in appearance or anything nothing alarming. Well in my case a week later I go back to the doctor and come out looking like this. One of them came back from path as cancer (the plus side the kind of skin cancer that once you cut it out its gone) so I had to go get some more removed on it. Six stitches later I sure hope they got it all because I sure don't want to be cut on anymore.

I know isn't pretty!

A few weeks ago we headed to Boise for a wedding and to visit with my sister. We had a wonderful time and I had the best co-pilot ever minus having to listen to ever song remade by alvin in the chipmunks that part was a little painful.

Sleep oh how I miss you.....

2011-08-14T07:37:00.003-06:00

This last week I have not went to bed until late every night because Ty has been cutting grain and have not gotten use to him being gone. But last night he was home at a decent time and still I was up until 11:30 while everyone slept what is with that? Then when I finally did crawl into bed I only slept for a few hours until all the neighborhood dogs went nuts (including ours). Finally went back to sleep when the dog jumps up on the bed and lays right on top of me licking himself I mean come on go do that in the living room or something ugh. oh and it does not end there about and hour after that I hear someone walking upstairs I go to investigate it is only miss M doing lord only knows. Crawl my tried butt back into bed and the dog proceeds to jump on and off of the bed several times come on make up you dang mind I'm trying to sleep here. Finally get back to sleep when one of the little men come in and ask if they can watch TV I throw in my towel at that point. I guess sleep will have to wait.

Sometimes I just want to scream....

2011-08-12T14:38:00.001-06:00

I love my little town so very much but sometimes I wish people would be more excepting and less judgmental. I don't fit the cookie cutter person in this town well what they think is right, but you know what I like it that way. You can live your life the way you want to and I'll live mine the way I want to and it is okay I promise. Many of you know I'm not LDS and never will be but I'm so dang tired of being judged for it I'm a good person that does good things. Yes I have a glass of wine with dinner and so enjoy that and go shopping on Sundays. I know you don't agree with my choices but I'm fine with my choices. Why don't you worry about yourself and not me. One question why your trying to run my life who is running yours? I'm not saying your wrong in the way you live, it just not what I believe and yes let me clarify I do believe in god.

This ones for you ky

2011-08-12T09:23:00.001-06:00

So yesterday my mom dropped the boys off at work to me before they came in to see me they checked out who was working at the front desk. We leave at get into the truck and ask me where is Kylee? I explained to them that she no longer worked there because she went back to school. They proceed to tell me oh mom we sure are going to miss Kylee being there. Well at least I'm not the only on that is still upset about the situation. Love you kyky!

Last night we participating in the Relay for Life. The kid choose this for there service project this year for horse 4-H. We all had a great time although it was a very long night. All the kids took turns throughout the night and walked. We managed to get it done and raised some money for the cancer society and had a wonderful time in the process. Here are some pictures of the event.

So worth the money to lock the little monkeys up.

2011-06-08T17:22:00.000-06:00

Well it's my last day in my 20's. I really don't know how I feel about it at this point either. At first it was a big deal, then I thought well it's only got to get better, and now I'm back to I just don't know. I guess the problem I have with it is I see that I'm getting older and everyone around me is getting older as well and then health problems come into play and that is the part that scares the crap out of me. Well here I go guess I'm jumping in with both feet but really do I have a choice?

Dirty Man!

So this year we are flooding it is just at the beginning stages and is only getting worse. We are praying that it does not get to bad. We went for a drive on Monday to check out how everything was looking. Here are a few pictures from the drive.

This is the lane we use to live on when I was in high school. In 1997 we were doing the same thing I'm so grateful that my mom and mike don't live out there anymore.

Here is a look at the river from the lane.

The field right in front of the lane we use to live on when I was in high school.

Field swallowed up by the river

Hardly any room for anymore water.

Not much room under the bridge

Farmers Tan

2011-05-16T19:32:00.002-06:00

Oh it was so nice this weekend. We were out all weekend working in the yard it was so wonderful to soak up some of the sun! Today I woke up with a wonderful farmers tan I asked the hubby if farmers tans were in style because I was rockin' a pretty good one! Oh how my arms hurt one of the down falls of summer time.

The Bruise

2011-05-16T19:25:00.003-06:00

Well it has been over a week and the bruise is still on my arm. I get asked numerous times a day what I did. Sometimes I would like to just tell them my husband beat me and see what kind of looks I would get but I've been nice and just tell them I got stuck with a needle a few times. Here is a picture of my wonderful arm.

Yep I went all the way to Utah for that! And had to pay for it as well.

My Beautiful Mother

2011-05-16T19:13:00.004-06:00

So on Mother's Day mom had come to the decision that it was time to shave her head. Her hair was just falling out left and right from the chemo treatments. So we went down stairs and shaved her head. It was hard to do but looking back on it, it's just hair and it will come back. Miss M took it pretty hard to see Grandma go through this but has adjusted well. My mom seems to be doing pretty good with it now as well. Even with no hair she is still as beautiful as ever! Love you tons Mom! Here's a picture off my mommy.

And you thought I was going to post a picture of her shaved head hahaha Not! If you want to see you have to go see her and ask yourself! This is right before we went down and did it! And she is still as beautiful with no hair!

Silly Girl

2011-05-06T16:50:00.003-06:00

This girl just cracks me up. I'm surprised I ever get anything done in life with all these goof balls around.

Look mom! Yep oh please girl never facial hair. hahaha

An awkward all on its own!

2011-05-06T12:46:00.005-06:00

So Ty and I had just got into the truck and I had some peach rings sitting in the truck (it was 71 degrees outside) and I popped one in my mouth it was the most yucky slimy gross thing ever. I guess the hubby didn't see my reaction to this because I turned to him and asked if he wanted one so he popped one right in his mouth his reaction was priceless. We are so just like kids you smell something gross and then turn to your sibling and say hey come smell this.

Heart Test

2011-05-06T12:25:00.004-06:00

Okay all it's official I have a heart......I know some questioned this at times but the word is that I have one! I went down to Utah yesterday and had the heart test and I will be okay. Got stuck with a needle a few times(three) left a nice bruise behind but it's not that bad. They said I could have a small hole in my heart but it is not large enough to repair they would do more damage trying to fix it. I had some of the bubble cross over to the other side of my heart but not to many and they really could not say if it just came from the lung side or not. So all is well no surgery for me YEA! Although I do have to make a few changes one of which is really yucky. They want me to eat salty food and just more salt in general which I don't have a problem with and drink Gatorade or Poweraide that is the part I'm not looking forward to that stuff is YUCKY. They think one of the reasons I black out when standing is low blood pressure so we will see if that helps or not. So that's all for now. At least it's on the record now the I do have a heart!

A picture of my bruised arm! Oh man that left a mark.

2011-05-06T11:15:00.005-06:00

driving down the interstate and it sounds like it is raining oh no, no rain just thousands of little bugs going splat on the windshield.

being called a b*tch by a so can family member ummm not okay! GOODBYE

ultrasound gel on your forehead. Yucky

being stuck with a needle three times in the arm and the nice bruise it left behind

a man with a baby sling on the front of him. I'm sorry but that just don't look right!

awesome

the great family and friends I'm surrounded by.

finding out that my heart is okay for the most part no surgery needed!

wonderful days with just my hubby!

a visit with my Grandma B and Aunt Dixie I just love those two to death.

finding diesel for 4.09 a gallon now that is awesome sad to say that I was excited for that price but it's a lot better than 4.36 or so I hope the price start to come down soon.

my mom's 2nd chemo treatment went well again and she only has minimal side effects!

not drinking pop for 3 weeks go me! No more of that nasty stuff is going into my body.

the ability to block people from you email and facebook! Love that option oh and a heads up in the near future I just may have to lock my blog if a certain person starts checking it again. Just a heads up but don't worry I will send invites out to everyone so you can still read about our crazy life. I just have to keep a certain crazy lady out of my life!

Oh Boy

2011-05-01T07:54:00.003-06:00

Okay for the most part I try and only post positive things on my blog. But no ones life is perfect and my life is far from perfect but you deal with what you have when you have it and enjoy life to the fullest. So with that being said yesterday I get an email back from someone that I'm related to not that I claim her anymore. I sent out Relay for Life donations emails the other day thinking if someone wanted to donate they would donate and if they didn't they could just delete it and go on with life. Well this person had to reply with some thing hurtful and it just went from there. So in the end I get called a B*tch and told that I'm not fully related to who I think I'm related to blah, blah, blah. But you know that is okay some people in life are just so mean, hateful and hurtful and I'm better off without her in my life not that she was really ever in my life. And you know I'm okay with all this because I has some really wonderful grandmas and the best family in the world. Awww that feels better so now we can get back to all the happy things in life. But just remember my life is not always peaches even though I only post good things on my blog I just choose to be happy in my life and post happy things on MY BLOG! Happy Sunday Everyone!
