Bowling

Today Kate and I decided to take the kids bowling. She knows of a cheap bowling alley by her house so it was fairly cheap to let the kids have some fun. Hailey was so excited to go. I didn't plan on taking any pictures but tried to snap a few. As you can see its not worth even trying right now! Here are some of the crazy pictures! Hailey going for a strike!

Christian really did get a Strike!

Andrew was so cute and good at bowling!

The kids didn't leave the balls the whole time. They couldn't wait till it was their turn. I love how Hailey say up on the rail!

Andrew so proud of his bowling skills!

There goes Miss Hailey

Andrew, Hailey and Christian....this is why I should not try to take pictures. This was the first I tried. Next time I will give up there!

Sunny Days

So lately Hailey has an obsession with wearing my sunglasses in the car. I snapped a few pictures of her the other day because she was being cute! By the way I got fed up today and told her no more wearing my sunglasses she has her own in the car now to wear!

Drawing

I just went into Hailey's room to pick up a few things when I noticed this picture. I asked Jared if he colored it and he said no. Hailey spoke right up and said, "I did its a picture of me!" I didn't know she could draw that much of a person. I was quite impressed!

Digital Practice

SO a friend in my ward has been teaching a digital scrapbooking class. I have attended all of them but feel like it all goes in one ear and out the other. After class tonight I decided to just come home and try something. SO this isn't great work but its a start so I had to post to say I can do something. I did this in about 15 mins with just playing around. I think I could get the hang of this to make fun random things!

High Maintenance

Let's talk about HIGH MAINTENANCE aka *Hailey*. This is how she'd sleep every night if we would let her. Portable dvd player, Snack, comfy bed and pillows, blankets galore, drink, Puppy Cupcake, and last but not least baby Geerta! It's a good thing she is cute cause I sure do give into her!

Beautiful Pictures!!

I am sorry if these gross you out but my tonsils are huge so I tired to get some pictures of them. There is tons of white infection on them that you can't see very well but needless to say this is why I am in so much pain. My whole neck and throat just kill. It hurts to move my head at all. We called the Doctor this morning to ask if that was normally and he said why don't you come right in. How soon can you get here? We jumped in the car and left. After examining me he said the good thing is you don't have menigitis. That freaked me out a little that they even were thinking a long those lines. I guess thats pretty serious hence the fact they told us to come right in. They gave me a shot that killed and is still killing and now have change my antibiotic. I am sick of being sick and wish I could rip these tonsils out myself.I guess I just can't be sick it always has to be the worst with something added on! I hope that they will heal fast now. I do have to admit the saddest thing is I can barely eat or drink my diet sodas. Thats sad stuff if you know me well! Here's hoping I get better soon!

PS Thanks Ginger for letting Hailey come invade your house all morning. Your the best!

Randomness...

SO I am still sick and I hate it. Luckily I have some good friends who are taking great care of me and helping out. One of my friends was so kind to take Hailey to play group and bring me treats. Others have called and checked up on me and I have had so many offers to help with Hailey its unbelievable.I am blessed to have them in my life and we couldn't forget Jared and all that he is putting up with. I am grateful he has been able to take the last two days off work. I haven't been a very happy sick girl. Last night was the worst and this is really the first time I've been up out of bed but I am getting a little stir crazy since I hate to hold still. Hopefully by tommorow I will turn around and start turning back to normal.

Now I love my husband to death. He is the best however I died laughing at his solution to fixing a problem in our house. In the past week I have had the dumb towel bar in the master bathroom fall on my every morning when I get out of the shower. I am sick of it. Well send in Mr. Accountant Jared to fix it and this is what you get...



a towel bar put back up with Hot Glue! At least he tried right. I think that MR. Smart Accountant and Mr. Fix it just don't go togther. Heaven help me. Next time we will call Mr. Fix it to the Rescue. In the mean time we can all enjoy a good chuckle out of his efforts!

Enough Already..

TodayIwas diagnosed with strep throat. I am so sick of being sick and I feel awful I don't remember ever feeling this sick and miserable. Lets hope it passes quick being a sick mom is the worsst!

25 things about ME

I keep getting this tag on facebook and I was super bored tonight so I decided why not just do it. I am sure you will all think I am nuts but have fun reading it. Also if you want you want to do it I'd love to read yours!

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.


1.I am obsessed with shopping. I know its not old news but I am always wanting to get out and go shopping. I love to find killer deals and am obsessed with anything shopping related. I guess I am a true shopaholic!

2.I have a secret obsession with photography. In high school I took some photography classes and I also was on the yearbook staff and had access to nice cameras. I love to take pictures and wish I was good enough to be rich to afford all the fancy equipment so I could do even more with my love of photography. I did enter the state fair once though and one first place with my photo!

3.Haliey is the love of my life. *besides Jared*I didn't think I could ever love someone as much as I love that little girl. She brings so much joy to me and I just could eat her up. I love spending every minute with her. Even though she has a little atttidude and can rub me the wrong way I love that girl to death!

4.I refuse to clean bathrooms. I don't know why but it seriously makes me sick. I will live with a dirty bathroom just so I don't have to clean it. I am grateful Jared is so willing to help clean them even though he doesn't do it as much as I'd like him too.

5.I like my sodas out of the fountain only. I will ocassionaly drink them out of a can/bottle but I prefer to have them fresh out of the fountain. Also when I got to the gas station I will not take the first cup out of the cup holder. I usually pull several out and use the middle one. I guess I am jsut parnoid someone touched the first ones. Ha ha

6.When I am in love with something or anything I get OCD over it and it consumes me. Like if I get into a certain product or somethign I have to buy it all or else I feel liek I am missing out. This doesn't go along with my shopping habits very well. It is not a good thing either!

7.I want to have another baby so bad it hurts. Sometimes it is hard for me to even get out of bed my desire and want is so strong. It makes me sad. It causes me so much pain you wouldn't even believe it.I don't feel like my family is complete and I just wish that I could get pregnant and not have to go through endless amounts of infertility treatments. I long to be able to bring a sibling into this world for Hailey. I would sacrifice anything to be able to be pregnant. I NEED a baby!

8.I love to do stuff for others. I like to make others happy and sometimes, well a lot of the time, I let others come before myself. I would give or do anything for someone else. Its not a good thing either. I do sometimes need to learn to say no or hold back but its too hard for me.

9.I am overly obsessed with Children's clothing. I can normally look at a kid and tell you where there clothes are from. I am really obsessed with Gymboree and I know all the new lines that come out and want to see teh outfits matching. I go nuts when I see a kid dresses in gymboree but different lines. Its just my crazy ocd issues! I do love buying and shopping in kids clothes though!

10. I love free things. My motto is, "If its free, its for me!"

11.I love to sleep in. I hate to get up in the morning and would sleep the day away if I could. I love my SLEEP!!! Oh ya and of course I am not a morning person at all. I only get up before noon on days I have to be up for something!

12.I am the queen of spelling unless I am typing. I think so fast that I can't type the words fast enough that I end up misspelling more than i can type correctly. The funny thing however is I am a good speller and can always get it right! Just not a great typer. If my brain would slow down I could type a whole lot better.

13. My favorite color is green. I am attracted to anything that is a green color or shade. Especially like a spring green color. I love me some GREEN!

14. I want to be rich but spend too much money for that to ever become a reality. I wish I could go to any store I want and buy anything and not be asked a million questions from Jared about the money. I wish I coudl jsut buy buy buy and never have a what was this for or where is this money. I need to be RICH!!

15. I love to eat out. I hate eating at home or cooking. If i had enough money I would eat ever meal out. I love going out to lunch or dinner and living it up! This is not the best habit but I sure do love eating out !

16. I spend too much time on the computer. I can't go more than a few hours with out checking my email. If I coudl thats the only way I'd communicate with people. I love email.

17. I love crafts. I am not very good at stuff but I like to pretend and mess around doing easy things. I love to make all kinds of random stuff even if it turns out like crap. I love having a craft room just to have random projects out and going all the time.

18.I am not a good parent and I let Hailey stay up way later than she normally should. I am a push over and hate to make her cry so she ends up getting away with it and staying up late or sleeping in my room. I should be more firm and strict but I have a hard time doing it.

19.I am always worried about what others say and think of me. It sometimes consumes me too much. I wanted to be liked, but I am always worrying what poeple really think of me.

20.I have lived in Utah all my life and I have never been skiing or anything such as that. Truth be told I am too afraid of accidents to ever have a desire to try it.

21.I love to have Jared rub my back. I long for it and it helps me calm down and fall asleep at night. I force myself to stay awake sometimes because it is so relaxing to me.

22. I have a hard time ever calming down. I like to go go go 24/7 and hate to just chill and hang out. its rare if I do. I must have a plan and being out and about.

23.I hate camping. I hate to be dirty. I hate not being able to shower. I love to go in teh moutains but I just can't spend the night. Its a challenge I would like to overcome.

24.I hate character things. I am not a big fan of it and have a hard time with hailey being into any of that stuff. As cute as princesses are and such I have the hardest time letting her be a big fan. I don't know why I just struggle with any of that stuff.

25.I love to sing but I can not carry a tune. I wish that I had a good voice and knew more about singing and wouldn't be so afraid to even let any words come out. I am so scared of singing that most of the time I don't even try.

Alright you all think I am nuts now so I hope you enjoyed reading it!

Sew cute

My friend's daughter had a darling dress on at church last week that she had made. It was so cute I wanted to make one for Hailey but of course I can not even sew a straight line. Thanks to Ambry I have this super cute dress for Hailey and my friend Toni helped me sew the one for baby "geerta" as Hailey says. Hailey is so excited they both have matching dresses. I think she will have fun wearing it this summer. I just need to make a few more so she can play in them all summer long! I might attempt to sew the next one but we will see. Thanks to my awesome ward at least she has this one!

I might get brave this week and add some real bows to the straps but we shall see!
