I Got This as an Email and Loved IT!! I Hope you Do Too! Part 2

Part 2

Furthermore...

Some Mormon guys can throw a ball...
Some Mormon guys yell at the ball...

Some Mormon guys make scary movies...

Some Mormon guys have a lot of money and really great hair...
I know hundreds of Mormon guys. They do all kinds of different things and live all kinds of different lives.

This is one of the leaders of the Mormon church. Last Sunday he spoke about honoring women, especially mothers, and gave advice to husbands and children about how to treat the women in their lives. (For the whole story, click here.)

None of the Mormon men I know look like this...

The Mormon men I know are honest and hard-working. They don't cheat, smoke, drink or gamble. And TRUST ME....the last thing any of them want is another wife.

I Got This as an Email and Loved IT!! I Hope you Do Too!

Part 1

For those of you who have been watching the news and may have wondered....

Some Mormon women sing...

Some Mormon women dance...
Some Mormon women write scary stories...

Some Mormon women have lots of money and really great hair...
I know hundreds of Mormon women.

They do all kinds of different things and live all different kinds of lives.


This woman served as a leader in the Mormon church. She recently spoke to teenage girls worldwide. She encouraged them to stand up to peer pressure, strengthen their families and serve others. (Click here for more.)


None of the Mormon women I know look like this...
None of them are marrying off their teenage daughters and-- although some may joke about wanting a sister-wife (preferably one who is really fat & ugly, does bathrooms and changes diapers)--none of them really want to share their husband with anyone.

This is My Boys in the Bath Together in July 2007

These pictures speak for themselves!! They make me laugh!




You know they are Brothers.....

.....when they sleep the same! They may look different... but they love each other...and that doesn't seem to matter what they look like.
I love how they both suck their thumbs, have a blanket, and when the other is sleeping the other can't wait for the other to wake up. (by talking softly in the others ear, tapping them softly to wake up, and my favorite tells me how they are bored with out the other brother!) I love my boys so much! My life would be boring with out my 3 boys. Thanks, Your Mommy and Wife.

Photographer

Maddie took these pictures. What a great photographer! I think so! But I'm his mom so I think everything he does is GREAT!

Don't mind the mess we just got back (for a week) and we are getting unpacked.

Fun with Family

This is what we did when we were at my Gma and Papa's house. We left on Sunday and come back Thursday! It was nice to have help from my gma with the boys, but also nice to be back in our HOME! Thanks gma and papa, that was nice of you for letting us (three) stay in your home. Thanks Again, and we LOVE both of you TONS!
Enjoy our fun...
Monday: Went on Base! Great deals. You don't have to pay taxes when you buy something! Sweet. After shopping at the Bx, we headed to the Grocery store. Then thought the boys probably needed a break to play. So we found this great park that the boys loved.
Tuesday: We went to the Tree House. My mom and Auty came over to keep us company, along with the Kimball Kids.
Wednesday: I had my appointment and they cut off my cast like thing. They told me that I need physical therapy. My first appointment is on Monday! Scary i know. But I'll get through it. Thanks Clari for watching the boys while my gma and me went to the appointment! Later that day, my gma and papa need a break (or should i say my papa). So they went to dinner and a movie. So the kids (Kimball kids, my 6 cousin) and their friends come over to help me with the boys. It was pretty crazy but WAY FUN! Thanks KIDS (Georgia, Grace, Andrew, And Friends). You guys are great company and great helpers!
Thursday: Snowed!! We planned to go to the Nature Center. But more snow! What's up with that? Well, we get a call from Joel that he gets off from training at 3 or 4pm. So we went to the Tree House after Maddies nap. Brakken took his in the CAR! So gma had to stay in the car until he woke up! Thanks gma, you do so much for us!!! You are Awesome! Then shortly after Joel showed up and the Boys were so happy to see him! And me too.
We had a Blast.

Before and After Surgery

This is a picture of my middle finger...you can kinda see the small bump. Well after surgery they found out it was not a cyst, it was extra nerve tissue. but good news it was not cancerous.
That the good old wrist... now hopefully no bump!
This is what it looks like now.. all bandaged up.. kinda hurts but not as bad as i thought. Oh yeah that is my new bracelet Joel made for me at the Tree House Museum. Thanks Joel, now my hand looks a little prettier.Look how swollen my fingers are! So i wear my wedding ring on my right hand.. Kinda weird but i love to wear it.

Interesting Day

Today was a crazy but interesting day! For starters I'm a lefty and the hand that is bandaged up is my left hand... So as you can imagine it's been a little hard. So we had to switch sides of the bed, so my arm could be way from Joel bumping it! So the day started and i can't wash my hand without Joel's hand! I couldn't even brush my teeth with out Joel helping put tooth paste on my tooth brush... and brushing with the opposite hand is quite a task.. Then getting bathed was interesting... Joel had to wash my hair while i leaned over the bath tub... and you can imagine the rest of the day! Yeah typing is a task too.. i feel like i have to learn how to do things all over again. it's a learning process for all of us... it was a rocky day, maybe tomorrow will be better.?

Surgery Info.

So today i got the phone call about when surgery is going to be! It's at 2:45pm and i need to be there at 1:30pm. not bad right! but here is the catch... i can't eat after mid night and i can't drink anything after 8am tomorrow. I know i should quit complaining. I've noticed that i want something the most that's when i can't have it... sound familiar....? Well it's a 30-45 minute process. Not bad but I'm still kinda nervous. But I'll post some pictures of the before and after photos.. that should be interesting. Good news I asked Joel if i could get a surgery outfit, something cozy to wear... and he said yes! Something to look forward to, i guess..
I wanted to say thanks for the support from everyone. It's helped me out a lot.
Thanks Raelynn

This goes out to all the MOMS

This is so true!! My mom said all of it!! And now I'm saying some of it to my kids! Well I bet I'll say more when the boys get bigger!!



I found this blog hopping! Thanks

Roa Ree FUN!!

After the walk to Micky Dee's we went to Clari's house to take a break from walking and so Roa Ree could play with the boys! Roa Ree is her dog... her name is Rozy but Brakken calls her Roa Ree. The three of them had a blast!


Roa Ree was hiding from the boys, she needed a breather. After she got her breath back she came out for more fun.





Rozy was loving on me.Thanks Roz for the loves. Oh yeah Clari has a dog box and the boys love to play in it. They were taking turns. First Brakken then Madden.




That's baby Chandler with Clari. She is so cute when she is not crying!

Thanks Clari for the good time. The boys had a great time with Roa Ree haha...

McDonald's Walk

We walked to McDonald's..... well i walked with Clari and the three kids sat in the wagon, and we pulled! We met up with Clari and baby Chandler, and we headed to Micky Dee's for lunch. It was on Monday so the weather was nice, it was like in the mid 70s!! How warm was that! Chandler was a bit mad so she cried most of the time we walked.. but when we got there she was happy! The boys didn't want to leave, so they throw a little fit too. But we enjoyed the warm weather while it lasted. The next day was in the low 40s! How crappy!!




I forgot to take pictures of the walk but just imagine us pulling the wagon and the kids having a good time sitting. Oh yeah the kids LOVE the chic chin meal (aka Brakken's word for chicken)!

Baby Animal Days

The Boys had a great time with all the animals. I have to say, we had a great time too. It's so much funner now that they are older. (funner is a word now, i had to use it in a sentence) We got a little burned, yes me too. We all had pink faces and arms. Take a look at our fun....

Madden getting Cozy

Friday, April 11, 2008

Kinda like a dog getting cozy?

Wake Up Dad!

The boys want Joel to wake up! Joel started to play but got to cozy and fell fast asleep. And i took some pictures of them trying to make Joel want to play with them.
Brakken is trying to wake him up by taking his blanket! Or getting his blanket back. Whatever way you look at it, they want him to wake up! Joel was beat..


Still not working.... what should we do now? I know.... kick my DAD!! while holding my dollie.
I almost got the picture of Brakken jumping on Joel. This is him getting ready for the jump ....one.... two.....three...
Joel finally woke up after that. Way da go boys, you woke up daddy.
