Calling it Quits

2009-12-28T15:52:00.000-08:00

So I got mad at Qwest and decided to cancel my internet services. They really screwed up my bill the last couple of months and I am tired of spending so much time on the phone to try to fix their mistakes. So my internet shuts off on the 9th of January. I don't keep up on this thing very well anyway, i will try to post if anything huge comes along but for now...so long :-)

Family Pictures

2009-12-20T15:02:00.000-08:00

It is awful to say but we have NEVER had family pictures taken...ever! So this year I decided we had to get some. They turned out really well and she did a great job with three kids that did not want their photos taken :-) Here is just a couple that I really liked.

My boys, I think this is my favorite out of all of them.

It has been a really great Christmas season so far. I LOVE that our kids are so into the season this year. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas :-)

WOW!!

2009-08-26T08:29:00.001-07:00

That describes my month so far. Between two birthdays, Grandma passing, 10 year High school reunion, much needed girls trip, Grandma's funeral, trip to the E.R. with Tyce which resulted in a needed surgery, and Chase's first day of kindergarten it has been a hectic month! Both Tyce and Jaxson had their birthdays this month. Tyce turned 3 and Jaxson turned 2. They were fun times with the cousins! Then my Grandma passed away and we had all the family in town for the funeral. It was really nice to see everyone and I wished we all lived closer to one another. The funeral was really good and I was comforted with the knowledge of our atonement and that families are forever. My Grandma was the strongest women I have EVER known. My reunion was in August as well and it was fun to see some blasts from the past. We took Tyce in to the E.R. on Sunday and spent over 10 HOURS in Mercy Medical! NEVER USE MERCY MEDICAL CENTER, THEY SUCK!!!!!! After they pumped my poor 3 year old full of drugs and he still wouldn't go to sleep to take a CT scan we left. This was after they tried to give ANOTHER dose of morphin to him and told them not to touch him anymore. We followed up with our Ped the next day. He has a hernia, not a big deal and we met with the surgeon and scheduled the surgery for September 8th. This makes me even more mad! Mercy didn't need the CT scan and all that waiting and drugs were unneccessary!! Anyway.... Chase had his first day of Kindergaten today. He was SO excited and it was cool to see him so grown up. I am so proud of him and what a great kid he is. :-)

Birthday, Anniversary, and Lagoon

2009-07-14T20:39:00.000-07:00

I have been really bad about keeping up on this thing, and unfortunately I really didn't get any pictures from all the events for the past month. But...since June we have celebrated my birthday, Jeric and mine 8th anniversary, and we took the kids to Lagoon. We have been having a lot of fun having Jeric home so much lately and being all together. Here are just a couple of pictures from Lagoon, everything else I forgot to take pictures. :-(

We stopped at Grandmas house on the way home and made cotton candy, Tyce LOVED it and was a sticky mess by the end.

Jaxson LOVES to wear optimus prime so the other night he put on Tyce's church shoes with his p.j.'s and was walking around trying to scare everyone.

Lagoon before we went in.

It was a very nice, and much needed trip. We got to see Grandma and Grandpa Gonzales, a long lost best friend in Utah (Tara), and stop at a wedding on the way back and enjoy the company of friends. I am so grateful that families are forever because I can't get enough of mine!

Movie Night and Random Pictures

2009-05-08T16:20:00.001-07:00

With Jeric gone this last week again I have been trying everything to keep the kids entertained. By the end of the week I am out of ideas. So tonight we went and rented a movie, grabbed some treats, and watched the movie. The kids enjoyed it and I welcomed the peacefulness.

Tyce surprised at something

Random photo of Jaxson

This is how I found Tyce the other day watching T.V. He had taken off all his clothes to go to the bathroom and never put them back on :-)

Injury

2009-04-17T17:32:00.000-07:00

Today started out in the ER. Tyce hit his chin on the counter and split it open. I am so surprised that I haven't spent all my time in the hospital with the way Tyce and Jaxson rough house. Luckily it was no big deal and they just glued it together, nothing big. Hopefully we will continue to be lucky and stay out of the hospital :-)

Chase Turns FIVE!!!

2009-03-19T17:49:00.001-07:00

I can't believe Chase is already 5. He is such a sweet little boy. I am so glad to have him in our family. He is my little angel, willing to do anything to help out, stays out of stuff he isn't suppose to be in, great big brother, kind-hearted boy. Happy Birthday Chase, We love you!!!!

The boys being Batman :-)

I LOVE San Fran!!!

2009-02-14T11:12:00.001-08:00

I got to go see Jeric this last weekend in Cali. It was SO nice to get a break. After work on Saturday we headed to the city. Jeric served his mission in San Fransisco so I love that he knows his way around. It was a blast, we went down to the pier and then also swung by union square for the incredible Blondies Pizza. I really didn't get any pictures, so sorry. but here are just a few of the city.

heading into San Fran!!

I just realized Terriebeth tagged me for the 4th picture in my fourth folder so....here it is The fourth folder happened to be a folder I made to contain all the pictures I needed for my Dad's retirement movie I was putting together last year. So here is my awesome dad (the one on the left ) looking stylish on his police motor. He really is a hero, love ya Dad!! :-)

Playing Catch-up

2009-01-15T12:41:00.000-08:00

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. So here's a re-cap. Jeric was able to come and spend two weeks with us for Christmas and New Years, that alone was a wonderful present. The kids had a blast having daddy home and rarely left his side. He is back at work, which stinks, but oh well. My parents took the kids and I up to McCall for a few days. It was nice to relax and the kids had so much fun swimming and playing in the snow. We had a wonderful holiday season and I just wanted to say thank you to all of you that have helped out. I was truly blown away by the generosity and service of others this season. Thank you!

Playing in the snow is FUN!

White trash sleding

2008-12-22T17:10:00.000-08:00

The boys were so excited to play in the snow and even more excited that daddy was home to play in it with them. We forgot to buy a sled again this year and didn't feel like going to the store so... that would be a garbage can lid and our lawn mower. The boys had a blast and it was pretty funny to see our little get-up.

My little monkey

Jaxson is a cutie pie but he is ALWAYS into everything! He keeps it interesting and we love him!

2008-12-04T10:32:00.001-08:00

I really have nothing to post. Jeric has been out of town a lot still so I really don't have the time, or unfortunately the patience, to get my camera out and take pictures. But I was really tired of seeing that "tagged" entry. So enjoy the picture of Tyce in his chicken riding cowboy costume from Halloween. :-)

I was tagged by Candice so here it goes. List 5 fears, 5 joys, 5 obsessions/collections, 5 surprising facts about you. Tag 5 people. So Easy. 5 Fears * the safety of my family * big spiders * small spaces * sharks * being a bad mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend... 5 Joys * Chase * Tyce * Jaxson * Jeric * Health 5 Obsessions/collections * having socks on while I sleep * Fondue (especially cheese) * my family, can't get enough of them :-) * smells, I have a really sensitive nose * I really don't collect anything, unless you count dirty diapers 5 surprising things about me * I basically slept through high school. I had a virus that made me very tired and I couldn't get my heart rate over a certain number or I could hurt my heart. This was difficult since I played basketball. I was told I shouldn't play anymore. Thanks to the blessings and promises of the Word of Wisdom I continued to play with no damage to my heart. It's amazing what can happen with a little bit of faith in what we've been taught. * I've never broken a bone where I needed a cast or needed any type of surgery. * I took two years of Judo in college and once took Jeric down * My labors are really fast, usually one hour from start to finish * My big sister use to hide at the end of my bed then wake me up by throwing shoes at me, she then would scare the crap out of me. To this day, if Jeric isn't home, I look under my bed just in case before I go to sleep. :-) I tag Michelle B, Jenny L., Cyndi F, Tonya H, Terriebeth S. :-)

Lincoln City

2008-10-25T19:22:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted for awhile. Jeric has been out of town a lot for work so I've been really busy taking care of everything here by myself. We did get to go to Lincoln City for a little vacation, which was SO nice. My parents rented a beach house and we all had a blast! We went to the lighthouse, crabbing, and the aquarium. Jeric getting ready to throw the crab ring out to catch our dinner!! they can be mean suckers but we got our revenge later that night when we ate them! :-)

Maddie with one of our kills, isn't she cute :-)

Cousins and the best of buds!

I have a ton of pictures so if I get time I will do a slide show. It was so nice to be at the ocean with such good company. Thanks for a great vacation Mom and Dad :-)

CAKE YUM YUM!!!

2008-09-04T19:06:00.000-07:00

With Jeric gone I've been REALLY bored!! So my mom was nice enough to come over and hang out with me this afternoon. I've been wanting to try to decorate a cake that I saw in a picture and with my mom's help we were able to pull it off. We just tried a small one for now, but next time I think I will try the large one. My camera took really bad pictures, sorry, but you get the idea. Just a basket full of apples, I thought it was way cool! All of it is edible, which I will be doing shortly :-) It's made out of fondant and cake! When Jeric gets back I will have to have a dinner party so I can make a big one, maybe a square basket?? It's hard to see the detail in the pictures so definitely a dinner party...anyone interested?

NEVER send a man to the store!!

2008-09-04T18:42:00.000-07:00

So before Jeric left for Colorado again I asked him to run to the store for me. We have been trying to potty train Tyce and with all of our running I've used the help of pull-ups. (which would be the reason he is not all the way potty trained yet, but oh well) Anyway Jeric goes to the store. buys the pull-ups for me and then heads off to Colorado. The next day when I go to use the pull-ups for Church, this is what I see Look closely...what is wrong with this picture. That's right, my poor son is wearing princess pull-ups!! Jeric had grabbed the wrong box and I of course have no time to return the darn things. Sorry Tyce :-( Jeric's response is that "Tyce is man enough to wear them" :-)

Road Trip

2008-08-26T17:47:00.000-07:00

Jeric was a sweetheart and planned a cute date for us today. We got up and headed to my parents house where my Mom and Dad took the kids for the morning and we went on a trip with my Dad's bike! It wasn't a long trip, only to Idaho City for breakfast, but it was nice to do something different. We ate at a small cafe', the food was actually really good, and then headed back to Boise. It was a very nice morning. The weather was great and it was a lot of fun!

The Baby Turns 1

2008-08-22T17:16:00.000-07:00

I can't believe Jaxson is already 1!!!! He is such a sweet guy and we are so blessed to have him in our family. (Guess Heavenly Father knew what He was doing when He sent him to our family, even if it was when Tyce was only 3months old!!!) Happy Birthday Jaxson, we love you !!!

My little man loves his balloons!!

He got it!!

The boys and Ellie wouldn't leave him alone for a second, of course Ellie is the one that gets smacked since she is the only one that will take it :-)

I love this picture but I don't know why. Maybe cause he's looking at me like that and not the cake?

Lagoon

2008-08-22T17:10:00.000-07:00

We finally did something as a family this summer, since Jeric has been in Colorado for so long that doesn't happen much! It was a really quick trip to Lagoon with my sister and her family. The kids had a BLAST. Of course I realized after I never got a good picture with everyone in it. Jaxson is with us, I just forgot to take a picture of him :-) (I told everyone to be patient, I will get this picture thing eventually) Chase and Gage are inseparable and so is Baylee and Tyce, good thing we went with the cousins!

Attempting the blog

2008-08-07T20:34:00.001-07:00

I love looking at everyone's blog so I am trying to get into this blogging world mentality. Be patient with me, until I get a better camera and can get some better pictures taken.

Chase and Tyce before Church
