Whats going on!

When I last posted Tim was still in Atlanta, GA. He has since returned and I have started working at Walmart in the Electronics Department. I didn't think I would ever work there but it has been good. I'm getting my workouts in without having to workout, I know you are probable thinking how can you do that. When I first started I decided I would wear a pedometer and the results were great. On average I am walking 9+ miles when I work, holy cow! Now I want to start seeing some results.
We went down to California for thanksgiving and had a great time. This is the first time we have been back as a family. It was good to be there together. Although we weren't there as long as we would have liked we were able to see a lot of friends and family. Thanksgiving day we spent with Tim's family. We arrived there early to help Mom out with all the yummy traditional sides, it was a lot more fun to be in the kitchen all day cooking with eveyone helping out.
Grandpa had fun activites planned throughout the day to keep the kids busy. He had a sling shot area set up that my boys loved, he also bought umbrellas for the grandkids.




About 1 hour after the umbrella fun I went to see what everyone was doing and here is what I found.



And we hadn't even eaten yet. I guess everyone needs a good nap before a big meal. We had so much fun coming back to California for Thanksgiving. It was a little weird at first. We still really miss it and all of our friends and family but we are very thankful that we could come back and visit even for a little while. We know that this is just another stepping stone in our life adventure.
Saturday was another fun day for us, we had a second Thanksgiving at my sister Paiges' house. She decided to go the non traditional thanksgiving day meal. Instead of the Turkey and all the fixings she had baked potatos and chili with all the fixings for that. It was so yummy. Great job Paige. We also got to see her new and only grandbaby, which makes me a Great Aunt, am I old enough to be a Great Aunt and for her to be a grandma? I guess we are. Jacob and Heather's baby is beautiful. Her name is Hayden and she was just adorable. It was great to spend time with both sides of the family. We love all of you and had a blast the short time we were there. Until next time.

Just another one of those days....without Tim.

For those of you that don't know, Tim has a new job and had to go to Atlanta, GA for two weeks. Sad I know but sometimes you have to make sacrifices for great new jobs, this time I knew exactly when we would be back together. Anyways, today started out like any normal Sunday in our house. We woke up. All the kids came into my bed to see if I was awake, they asked what we were eating for breakfast, we ate, then everyone started getting ready. Teancum and Ammon were ready first, I know surprise surprise. I thought that since they were ready they could help me get the other two ready while I was taking a shower. So I took out Brighams clothes and laid them on the bed so Teancum could help him get dressed.I also told Teancum that once Emma was done eating to take her out of her chair and clean her up. Well when I got out of the shower I heard a lot of noise downstairs, I thought to myself I hope Brigham is dressed, he wasn't. To make a long story short, nothing I asked them to do was done. But I was still on track to be on time to church, so I thought. I put Brigham's clothes on then Emma's then I finally got myself ready, I realized I didn't really like what Emma was wearing so I changed her clothes. Then we headed out to the car. I had a handful of things to put in the car along with the kids so I took my first trip out to the car and put my purse, phone and diaper bag on the front seat shut the door and walked around to put Emma in and the door was locked. How the heck did that happen?! Well I didn't realize that I had already grabbed the keys and when I put my stuff down I also set the keys down and something touched the LOCK button and there you go I locked the keys in the car with my purse and cell phone and on top of my plan to be on time to church I was now going to be late. I thought to myself I NEED MY HUSBAND RIGHT NOW!!!
I took our Honda to church very carefully since all the car seats were in the Toyota. I was able to get a hold of Tim to tell him my sad story and to get Jenny and Matt's number. They came to save the day after they were done with church. It's good to have family so close, thanks for rescuing me from my stupidity. Anyways, Tim will be back on Friday and I can hardly wait.

More Creepy Crawlies

Brigham has become obsessed with praying mantis'. Probably because he has never seen one until we moved up here. Here are a few pictures of him and Emma with the creepy crawlies in the backyard.

Wheeler Farms

We took a trip over to wheeler farms.




The kids had so much fun feeding the ducks and watching them try to get to the food.

Grandma and the kids.

We found a lot of old tractors at the farm, I just had to put the kids on and take a picture.

Brigham and the chicken

Emma wasn't so sure of this but Briggy was having fun.


Emma wasn't as scared of the animals this time. The first time I took her she was scared of everything but the bunny rabbits.

Gardner Village

So we heard that in Utah, Gardner Village is "the" place to go during the month of October so we did. It was really cool, lots of witches everywhere, different stores with awesome decorations. Boutiques all over. They even have a spa there were you can turn into a witch if you would like. Tim quickly realized that it is way more for girls then boys, but he was glad we at least checked it out.
