Brakken is SOOO EXCITED!!!

Joel got to come with us.. I'm so glad that he got to see his OLDEST son off to his first day.. What an AWESOME daddy!!

I'm so proud of him.. He is getting so BIG!!
Madden was crying cuz he missed his BRAKKEN!!! it was too cute to see him so sad that he wanted his brother back.. I'm so glad that they are BEST FRIENDS!!

It's nice to have him learning and being a little man.. And i get to spend one on one with Madden.. But i still miss him.. and i didn't know what to do when he is gone.. i couldn't wait to pick him up.. He goes to school every Tuesdays and Thursdays.. I'm getting better at sending him away but i still miss him a LOT!!

Bear Lake...

June 26...
So we went to Bear Lake with my mom, brother, Megan and Emily.. oh yeah and the DOGS.. Joel came up later..Friday we just went swimming and the boys went with my mom and brother in the kayaks.. They had a great time.. and so did us girls.. Em and Meg found some cute boys.. but were to scared to talk to them.. they said that they would.. but i was there.. What silly girls..
Well this is the boys getting ready to ride the 4wheelers..
But something happened.. so Brakken was munching a cookie... WAITING!!!

This is my brother trying to fix what he had broke!! my brother Josh is accident prone.. He gets hurt or we brakes stuff.. But you gotta love your family..
Brakken was loving the DIRT... He would dig in the dirt and rest his head on the dirt while he dug!! What a silly dirt loving guy..

Look close and you see a pink shoes outside with Brakken.. It was Megan's.. (and she was looking for it for a long while) He had it outside with him so he could squish bugs... And I'm not sure why the gun.. but do i really need to know... He's a BOY!! and boys LOVE guns...

Look at all the DUCKIES!!! and....

June 22nd..
If you add up the ducks.. i think there was like 11 or 12.. and they came on our porch wanting more FOOD!! They boys had a blast and so did Megan.. She couldn't believe that we had that many ducks that come visit every other day..

Feeding the DUCKIES!!
Joel wanted to go hiking to set up his tent and whatever else boys do in the woods??? Be manly, maybe!! haha.. Well Megan and myself told Joel that it would be fun to take the boys!! So he did.. The boys can't hardly wait for Joel to get off work.. so they can bond with DADDY..

Here they are on there way!!

The boys were so glad to see us when we came to pick them up.. They had a blast with their dad.. It's kinda nice that Joel finally has someone(s) to go with and enjoy the out doors... He's Boys..

ER visit Yesterday...

So yesterday when i was watching my shows.. I always get a drink and put it on the ground right next to the couch.. So i got off the couch.. And stepped on the glass that i was drinking out of.. I don't know how i broke the glass.. Maybe cuz i'm SOOO STRONG or FAT!! I'm leaning towards the strong... But this is what the cup looked like after i stepped on it.. (well After i set up the cup)

I had to walk to the phone to call LeeAnn to see if she could take me.. I'm not sure what i said to her but was freaking out!! And after i called her i told Madden to get me a towel.. And he got me the biggest towel and the whitest towel... What a big helper he is.. i got blood on the carpet and on my pants.. (i have to tell everyone that i can wear a size 6 now!!! Yay me..) I did call Joel after LeeAnn.. I feel bad now.. but i can't change who i called first...

after i calmed down a little more.. I thought i would go our neighbors right next to us to see if one of them could take me to the ER and then have LeeAnn watch the boys.. as I'm walking to our neighbors and to the car I'm bleeding like a lot.. I made sure i grabbed my wallet and check book.. After i looked at the insurance card.. I told EmberDee to go to the Insta Care.. An ER visit copay is $100!! And insta care visit is $40!! When we got the Insta Care it took them about 1hour and about 10 minutes before i got seen.. Then the DOC fixed me all up.. I got 4 stitches and HAD to get a tetanus SHOT!! The numbing shot hurt soooo sooo soo BAD.. i almost said a swear word.. Man that would have been really embarrassing.. I was wearing a long sleeve shirt so i had to take an arm out of my sleeve.. So the nurse now knows what religion i am.. hahaha.. Thanks EmberDee and LeeAnn for helping me in an emergency..

This is what my foot looks like now..

Without the sock..What's under the bandage..
I have to say something else.. I can't wear sandals.. I have to wear socks.. so if i want to wear sandals i have to wear socks.. So please don't look at me crazy cuz i have one sandal on my left foot and a sock on with a sandal on the right foot.. I'm glad that i get my stitches out before my friends wedding.. I'm a brides maid and i have to wear flip flops.. oh man.. This was one crazy adventure.. Now i hobble around.. And i can't put any pressure on my foot..

So the lesson that I've learned is not to put a GLASS cup on the ground.. Cuz someone could step on it and GET sent to the ER or INSTA CARE!!

Lesson LEARNED!!

Fun this WEEEK!!!!!

The warm days that we had in LOGAN!! Madden was so use to wearing his big SNOW coat and thought that he needed it to play outside!! What a silly boy!! This is Monday.. Soaking up some vitamin d the good natural way..


Here is my baby boy with his bubbles (he's not a baby anymore)!! Looks like a ice cream cone.. but it's not.. haha
Moved on to sidewalk chalk.. They are both so creative!!

Madden didn't want me to show him how the bat the right way!! he already knew.. what do mom's know anyways.. (i seem to think.. i know everything!!!).. I think we have another baseball player with the last name BELL!! Did Joel ever mention that he was an AWESOME pitcher!!
Batters Up!! He swings and it's a HOME RUN!! Yeah!!

Why didn't it MOVE!! After lots of practice Madden got really good!! He kept saying.. 1, 2, 3... And then whack the ball as hard as he could!! Kids learn so fast!!

More bubbles! It's amazing how kids LOVE bubbles so MUCH!!

Now for a walk in the RED WAGON!! They were so good at taking turns!!

Maddie's turn first cuz he's the baby... Then after little brothers turn is Brakken's TURN!! Brakken is sooo GOOD to his little brother.. He loves him sooo MUCH!!

Looking for some DUCKIES!! Only have seen 2 out of the 20 or so that we saw last year!!

Monday and Tuesday were some warm days!!

May i mention that our little civ died on me after working out on Monday night!! It broke down on 200 west and 200 south.. it wouldn't go into gear.. So the only person i knew that lived close to that was a friend of mine and Joel's.. She was nice about lending us her truck and i wanted to say thanks to HER!! Thanks Sarah.. You're AWESOME!! But i have to tell the rest of the story.. Our car has up to like 222,000 or more miles!! So sometimes you have to give her a little love.. So yeah.. our clutch got stuck and if i wasn't scared i could have just flicked the clutch with my foot.. But i needed Joel to do it for me... It's so nice being MARRIED!! Thanks hunny!! I sure love you!!

I wanted to wish my 2 friends a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY too Nicole and Penny/Dano!! I love you too.. Thanks for being AWESOME friends! I'm glad i have you two in my life!

This weekend...

The boys were playing on their dad.. Here is Brakken.. He is saying HEEE HAAA.. They acted like Joel was a horse and they were cowboys!!

Here is Madden.. He was the inventor of this game.. Hee Haaa.. Ride your dad Cowboys!!

Madden sure loves his DAD!!

I cut the boys hair last night.. They hate it when the hair gets on them.. Brakken SCREAMS the whole time.. So it's funny!! I'm glad i just buzz their hair and not use SCISSORS.. But this is what it looks like when there hair is next to each other.. yin and yang... totally different colors!!
This weekend Brakken was saying FUNNY things!!

Joel had to sit on his lap, cuz Jordan had to get out of the 3rd roll.. And Brakken told Joel, "dad, you BROKE my LAP!!" It was soo cute!

And Jordan's best friend Riley was over hanging out with all of us.. And Brakken asked what Riley's full name was.. then it told him and Brakken says "OHHH... His name Wall E!!" I replied with a NO.. His name is Riley not Wall E!! Then Brakken said "Mom, his name is NOT Wall E it's Wall E!! We all thought that was too funny, and we couldn't stop laughing!!

They are starting to say funny things, and getting so BIG!!

I got my temp crown on.. So now i just wait for the permanent one.. Thanks to those that wished me luck, and to those that help me with that day..
