Boston's Announcement

Okay so I do have this picture to put on. They turned out just perfect and I love them. So here it is.

Grandparents

After having lost both of my grandpa's this month I am realizing how lucky I was to have such great grandparents. I only hope that I can make them proud and live up to the standart they set. Anyway...I am hopefully going to be coming up with some pictures soon I need to charge the battery in my camara, hard to take pictures when it won't turn on.

BEST MOVIE EVER

So tonight my hubby and I went on a date to see Twilight. Absolutely want to see it a million times over. I can't wait until the next one comes out. It was so much fun and I just wanted to cuddle with Jas the whole time. It makes you want to fall in love all over again. I didn't think I would like the character they picked for Edward...but let me just say, he is HOT! I was totally gawking the whole time. Also, I am still debating the whole privacy thing but still please leave me your address and when it happens I will add you in.

I GUESS I NEED PRIVACY

After reading the article that Kaesy posted on her blog...I think I am going to go private too. It just freaks me out a little. But I would still love for all of you to be in on my life so please let me know if you want me to invite you in. Just leave your email address and I will be sure to add you! Thanks.

JUST A LITTLE BORED

So it is 11:40 pm and I am just sitting here blog stalking. I got thinking about some things and just wanted all of you to know how truly blessed I am. I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful children and I couldn't be more thankful for them. I am also thankful for my friends and all that they put up with. They stick in there with me even though I am not a great friend back and I appreciate that. I am very thankful for my family and I am so glad that we are close. I couldn't make it without them. With my grandpa's passing last week I have thought a lot about this and after listening to the speakers at his funeral I want to be sure that I try to be like he was. He was such a good man always doing good for others and I want to be that way. I want to live life to the fullest and be sure I take every opportunity to enjoy those around me. That's how he was and I will forever remember him for that. Sorry if this was a boring post but I felt like I needed to get that out and what a better place than on my blog! Ha ha...but truly I do feel like this is a journal in which I am making entries! Hopefully I can look back on it and remember these feelings.

A LITTLE TO CLEAN

Remember how in my quirks I talked about my obsession with cleaning rubbing off on Riley? Here is what she did the other day. She asked me for a rag because she didn't want to drip the milk from her cereal on the counter. What have I done?

NOTHING LIKE A HARD DAYS WORK

So I am going to be backtracking a bit since it has been a while since I updated my blog. I have been saving all these pictures but haven't had time to do much with them. About three weeks ago my dad put in a RV pad and poured a pad to put a shed on. We went over so that the boys could help and the girls could chat. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed watching the girls play outside while we soaked up the sun. My perfectionist dad even let the kids put their handprints (footprint for Bosont) in the cement. They loved it!!

This is my stud brother TJ. Isn't he a hotty?

The boys hard at work. This is Jason and JR look at

those muscles. I guess our pass to the gym is paying off.

These two darling girls are usually at war.

But sometimes they are so cute together.

NEED LIGHTS????

So my brother TJ has a lawncare business and has decided for the winter he will be doing Christmas lights. If you want a bid give him a call 645-3545. He puts them up takes them down and will even store them for you if you need.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

So the last time I heard my baby scream like he did last night it was this moment in the hospital. Last night I am not sure what happened but he decided that for the whole entire night, I am talking from 10:00 to at least 1:30 he needed to scream and I couldn't get him to calm down. I finally got him relaxed and then he started in again at about 5:00 am. (Keep in mind he still woke up for feedings between this) Only to calm down again at about 6:30 and at 7:00 his dear older sister woke up for the day. Hmmmm...I am pretty sure I am dead tired. I love him though and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Also this morning I got a call to find out that my Grandpa Nicholls had passed away. I can only be heart sickened at this he was a great man and spent so many countless hours with his grandkids. He was a great grandpa and I will miss him dearly. The only consolation is that I know he is with my Grandma and they are reunited but he will be greatly missed. Luckily I was able to get pictures with him and the kids last time I saw him, the one of Boston is down below and here is one of Riley with him. My dear sweet husband got a call from me this morning pretty upset and he came home so that I could get in a nap. He is so good to me and I love him. Thanks Jas you're the best.

No One Told Me....

So here's the deal. No one warned me that being a mother of two was a lot more difficult than just being a mother of one! Actually, I think I did have some warning. So here is my story...yesterday I needed to run to Standard Optical to get my glasses fixed and order contacts before my insurance is done. So I decided to enlist my mom for some help since I have yet to venture out with both of my kids. I told her I would be over to her house around 11:30 and we would head out. I started getting ready at about 8:00 thinking I would have plenty of time!! Next I got Riley ready which went pretty smoothly. At about 10:30 I fed Boston and went in to change his diaper and get him dressed. While I was burping him he spit up, or should I say threw up all over me and Riley, after cleaning this up I went in and began to change his diaper during this he peed all over three times (even through the pee cones Crystal gave me) as well as pooped all over his new outfit and the changing table. In the process of trying to clean this up Riley decided she wanted to help by getting into everything in the dressing table. The baby powder, but cream, wipies you name it she was trying to give it to me. Needless to say we showed up to my mom's around 12:30. This is how my life has been. I love every minute of it but it can be very stressful!

BOSTON'S HERE!!!

Our sweet baby boy Boston Nate was born on October 1st at 9:01 pm. I had gone to my appointment that morning at 10:00 am and I was still only a two. They gave me the option of being starte d so I decided to take it since my doctor was out of town until the 7th and her replacement (who delivered Riley because my doctor was out of town then as well!) was leaving the next night to go out of town. So we took it, we went in that day at 12:30 and the rest is history. He is so fun and alert. We love him. Riley is super attatched and if she can't see him she is sure to find out where he is! She is a great big sister and has been so cute with him.

TAGGED

So Jo tagged me and here are the rules: Link the person who tagged you --mention rules on your blog--tell about 6 quirks of yours--tag 6 fellow bloggers to do the same--leave a comment to let them know. I tag Kara, Malissa, Stephanie B., Crystal, Ally, Krishel Six quirks about me: 1. I am pretty sure I am obsessive compulsive about having my house clean and organized...I spend every spare minute cleaning it seems most of the time. The sad thing is that Riley is totally taking after me, she is constantly asking me for a rag while she is eating so that she can wipe the counter off if she spills! 2. I love salsa so much that I will even eat it plain. Jason thinks this is totally gross, but the thing that bugs him the most is I will pour me a bowl and eat it while we are laying in bed. He gets so mad at me. 3. I procrastinate with almost everything. I never do anything in advance. This is the cause for my high stress. If I would only start things sooner instead of putting them off until later. 4. I have a bit of a temper that usually only comes out with Jason and my family. Most of the time I am very selfish with it, I refuse to admit that anything is ever my fault, the fault is always everyone elses. 5. I am a sucker for Riley. Pretty sure she is a brat because I always give in and spoil her. I even criticize Jason if I think he is being too hard on her. I need to do better at this I have created a monster. 6. I love to play games. Any game. My family plays games almost every sunday night some of our favorites are Rainbow, Hand and Foot, Settlers and UNO. We would stay up playing all night if we could but as Jason says some of us have to get up early for work. He obviously thinks that I get to sleep all morning.

THE HOGLE ZOO

To finish off our Labor Day weekend we went to the zoo. We had such a fun day, it was perfect weather and not very crowded because it had rained that morning. Riley LOVED the animals and was such a good sport. I think her very favorite part was riding on the carousal (hope I spelled that right) Pa bought all of the grandkids a ride! Afterward Pa took us to dinner at the Spaghetti Factory, YUMMY.

BEAR LAKE

Well, I am finally gettting some posts done!! Yeah! Over Labor Day weekend we went camping at Bear Lake with my family. We had a great time, we rented some wave runners and spent Friday at the beach. Riley loved playing in the sand and she loved that she could go out so far in the water. She also loved the wave runner!

Riley's Ashey! Riley loves to play with her cousins. Brynn and Ashley are two very good big cousins to her! Kenzie and Riley on the other hand have their differences! But if you watch them quietly they play very cute together!
