FINALLY some pictures of averi my big kindergartner!!!

K so Alot has happened since my last post one major thing is that my little girl started kindergarten and i was ok wth that until......I put her on the bus that was so hard for me. They dont run busses for the first couple days of school and so i took her, i was ok with that, but the first day that she caught the bus was really hard for me. She was so happy to get on the bus and so i sent her on her way and then she waved to me from the bus and that was the end of that i lost it, I started bawling. She is now loving kindergarten, here are some pictures of the first day of school!

JUST A MOM?

A woman, renewing her driver's license at the County Clerk 's office,
was asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation.

She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.

'What I mean is, ' explained the recorder,
'do you have a job or are you just a ....?'

'Of course I have a job,' snapped the woman.

'I'm a Mom.'

'We don't list 'Mom' as an occupation,
'housewife' covers it,'
Said the recorder emphatically.

I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself
in the same situation, this time at our own Town Hall.
The Clerk was obviously a career woman, poised,
efficient, and possessed of a high sounding title like,
'Official Interrogator' or 'Town Registrar.'

'What is your occupation?' she probed.

What made me say it? I do not know.
The words simply popped out.
'I'm a Research Associate in the field of
Child Development and Human Relations.'

The clerk paused, ball-point pen frozen in midair and
looked up as though she had not heard right.

I repeated the title slowly emphasizing the most significant words.
Then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement was written,
in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire..

'Might I ask,' said the clerk with new interest,
'just what you do in your field?'

Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice,
I heard myself reply,
'I have a continuing program of research,
(what mother doesn't)
In the laboratory and in the field,
(normally I would have said indoors and out).
I'm working for my Masters, (first the Lord and then the whole family)
and already have four credits (all daughters).
Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities,
(any mother care to disagree?)
and I often work 14 hours a day, (24 is more like it).
But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers
and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.'

There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she
completed the form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door.

As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career,
I was greeted by my lab assistants -- ages 13, 7, and 3.
Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model,
(a 6 month old baby) in the child development program,
testing out a new vocal pattern.
I felt I had scored a beat on bureaucracy!
And I had gone on the official records as someone more
distinguished and indispensable to mankind than 'just another Mom.'
Motherhood!

What a glorious career!
Especially when there's a title on the door.

Does this make grandmothers
'Senior Research associates in the field of Child Development and Human Relations'
And great grandmothers
'Executive Senior Research Associates?'
I think so!!!
I also think it makes Aunts '
Associate Research Assistants.'

Please send this to another Mom,
Grandmother,
Aunt,
And other friends you know.

May your troubles be less,
Your blessing be more,
And nothing but happiness come through your door!

PAY IT FORWARD!!!

So ever since i did averi's Aiden has been bugging me to do his pink and i told him that he couldnt have pink but he could have blue since he is a boy.

ENJOY

INVISIBLE MOTHER.....

2009-01-27T09:44:00.000-08:00

My mother in law sent this to me in an e-mail and i read it and i loved it so i wanted to share it all with you so i hope you enjoy it and recieve something from it i know that i did!!

INVISIBLE MOTHER....

It all began to make sense, the blank stares, the lack of response, the way one of the kids will walk into the room while I'm on the phone and ask to be taken to the store.

Inside I'm thinking, 'Can't you see I'm on the phone?'

Obviously, not.

No one can see if I'm on the phone, or cooking, or sweeping the floor, or even standing on my head in the corner, because no one can see me at all.

I'm invisible. The invisible Mom. Some days I am only a pair of hands, nothing more: Can you fix this? Can you tie this? Can you open this?

Some days I'm not a pair of hands; I'm not even a human being. I'm a clock to ask, 'What time is it?' I'm a satellite guide to answer, 'What number is the Disney Channel?' I'm a car to order, 'Right around 5:30, please.'

I was certain that these were the hands that once held books and the eyes that studied history and the mind that graduated sum a cum laude - but now they had disappeared into the peanut butter, never to be seen again. She's going; she's going; she is gone!

One night, a group of us were having dinner, celebrating the return of a friend from England. Janice had just gotten back from a fabulous trip, and she was going on and on about the hotel she stayed in.

I was sitting there, looking around at the others all put together so well. It was hard not to compare and feel sorry for myself. I was feeling pretty pathetic, when Janice turned to me with a beautifully wrapped package, and said, 'I brought you this.'

It was a book on the great cathedrals of Europe ..

I wasn't exactly sure why she'd given it to me until I read her inscription:

'To My Dear Friend, with admiration for the greatness of what you are building when no one sees.'

In the days ahead I would read - no, devour - the book. And I would discover what would become for me, four life-changing truths, after which I could pattern my work:

No one can say who built the great cathedrals - we have no record of their names.

These builders gave their whole lives for a work they would never see finished.

They made great sacrifices and expected no credit.

The passion of their building was fueled by their faith that the eyes of God saw everything.

A legendary story in the book told of a rich man who came to visit the cathedral while it was being built, and he saw a workman carving a tiny bird on the inside of a beam. He was puzzled and asked the man, 'Why are you spending so much time carving that bird into a beam that will be covered by the roof? No one will ever see it.' And the workman replied, 'Because God sees'

I closed the book, feeling the missing piece fall into place.

It was almost as if I heard God whispering to me, 'I see you. I see the sacrifices you make every day, even when no one around you does. No act of kindness you've done, no sequin you've sewn on, no cupcake you've baked, is too small for me to notice and smile over. You are building a great cathedral, but you can't see right now what it will become.'

At times, my invisibility feels like an affliction. But it is not a disease that is erasing my life. It is the cure for the disease of my own self-centeredness. It is the antidote to my strong, stubborn pride.

I keep the right perspective when I see myself as a great builder, as one of the people who show up at a job that they will never see finished, to work on something that their name will never be on.

The writer of the book went so far as to say that no cathedrals could ever be built in our lifetime because there are so few people willing to sacrifice to that degree.

When I really think about it, I don't want my son to tell the friend he's bringing home from college for
Thanksgiving, 'My Mom gets up at 4 in the morning and bakes homemade pies, and then she hand bastes a turkey for three hours and presses all the linens for the table.' That would mean I'd built a shrine or a monument to myself. I just want him to want to come home. And then, if there is anything more to say to his friend, to add, 'you're going to love it there.'

As mothers, we are building great cathedrals. We cannot be seen if we're doing it right.

And one day, it is very possible that the world will marvel, not only at what we have built, but at the beauty that has been added to the world by the sacrifices of invisible women.

Great Job, MOM!
Share this with all the Invisible Moms you know...I just did.

Hope this encourages you when the going gets tough as it sometimes does.
We never know what our finished products will turn out to be because of our perseverance

ULTRASAOUND......baby #5

2009-01-20T08:20:00.000-08:00

K well we found out what we are having last week!! It has taken me so long to post about it because I'm not gonna lie I am very disappointed, well not anymore but I was. Well we went to the doctor and didnt think that he would do an ultrasound because it was our first appointment but he pulled us right in and that was the first thing that he did, so of coarse i was super excited....I just knew it was gonna be a girl i was so sure!! So we get in there and we also by the way took aiden and averi with us so that they could hear the baby's heart beat so he puts it on my belly and averi is just hoping that it is a girl she wants one so bad!! well he puts the thing on my belly and there it is the shot and i knew right away what it was oh because i have seen it before only about 3 other times yes thats right its a STINKIN BOY!!!!!! So i say to averi we are having a boy and averi says.. "What I am soooo sick of baby boys, I hate baby boys, We already have a baby boy at home we dont need anymore"!!
She was so mad and so then i was like "please excuse my 4 year old going on 17". But the doctor was just laughing, So now we have to come up with another boy "A" name and we just cant I just dont know i think we will call this baby "BABY A" So here are some of the ultrasound pics of him the 3D ones are a bit weired I still dont know how i feel about them but here they are!!!!!

BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!!

2009-01-13T09:17:00.000-08:00

Also i have great news mike has decided to go back to school and he is gonna go full time. its gonna be really hard but i know that in the end it will be so worth it! Finally we will be able to have some job security when he is all done, he was going to go back to be a pediatrician and he still may but he is also looking into being a nurse anesthetist so either one will be great and i know he will be good at whatever he decides to do. I AM JUST SO EXCITED!!!!!

Happy birthday baby adler

2008-12-19T12:25:00.000-08:00

i just cant believe that my baby adler is one today!! It seriously seems like it was just yesterday when i had him he is such a big boy now. They grow way to fast. If only there was a way to make them stay smaller for a longer time!!

Averi needs a sister!!!

2008-12-18T12:31:00.000-08:00

So Averi decided today that she wanted to dress adler up as a super girl and every time you called him a super man she got soooo soooo mad!! She would say no he is my baby sister and he is a super girl. So we really need this next baby to be a girl or adlers in a lot of trouble I am affraid. Oh and the green thing around his neck is a bib turned around backwards and his huge bow in his hair is his super powered crown those are averi's words!!! So lets all pray for a girl.

Yes a new member of our family!(well in 9 months)!!!!

2008-12-15T08:07:00.000-08:00

well as some of you have already heard yes it is true we are expecting again!! We are very excited about it it is our las baby so it is sad but good at the same time! We are praying for a girl but it will prob be a boy which will be alright also, so i havnt been up on this whole blogging thing because i have been so tired. But now that i am done with my first trimester things will get alot easier for me and i can try and be a little better about it anyways if you would like to congratulate us we would love to hear it but i would rather that you keep the other comments to yourself and those of you who are thinking them you know what i am talking about!! I i dont mean to sound mean or rude but like i said we are very excited about this baby!!

2008-11-23T13:30:00.000-08:00

Have you ever loved some one or something so much that it just consumes you? That is how i feel about my family i know weired huh for those of you who really know me this is an odd thing i know. But i was watching a movie last night and it was about a mother who was dying of breast cancer and she and her teenage daughter were affraid that they wouldnt ever really know each other anyway it was sad so when i went in to tuck all my kids in to bed i just look at them sleeping and cant help but to feel so much love for them that it just consumes me for a minute. You know how there are girls or women out there that say " I know that i was born to be a mother." well thats not me at all i didnt ever feel that way but i dont think that you have to feel that way to wanna just be a mom, I think that it is awesome that women feel that way dont get me wrong but those of you who know me know thats not me at all!! But lately I look up to those women who just know i am so nervouse about raising my kids in this world it scares me. Every night when i go in to tuck in averi I just sit and look at her, i find myself loving her so much it hurts and at the same time saying a little prayer for her that she will be so strong in this world that i brought her into, that she can make it and be so strong, but mostly to stand up for what we believe I just think that its gonna be so much scarier for them!!! Well i dont really know the reason for this blog except for the fact that i just had these thoughts and i wanted to share them!!

Ok well here is a new post for you! I wasn't going to post about this but sarah talked me into it so here it goes......

Alright so yesterday i was driving down sunny side and all my kids were asleep, As usual i wasn't paying attention while i was driving and i had to very quickly slam on my brakes!! well averi was siting in her seat and the most wonderful responsible mother that i am i forgot to buckle her in her seat belt, so as i slammed on my breaks i hear this big thump and i look back and averi was on the ground whining. Then all the sudden she stood up and all she said was "OH MY HELL", then she got back in her seat and went right back to sleep. I know that some of you are wondering where she may have heard this well it is true ocasionaly those word do slip out of my mouth once or four times a day!!!

Well there is my story i hope that you enjoyed it as much as i did when it happened and as i always say never a dull moment in my life being a mother of 4 children 4 and under!!!
I STILL LOVE MY LIFE I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH!!!!!!!!!

MY SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!

2008-10-16T11:51:00.000-07:00

Alright well sarah always get to hear about all my exciting things that happen in my house all day, and let me tell you there are tons. So today i was in the kitchen on the phone talking to sarah and i was getting ready you make lunch, well i needed a pan and it was in the dishwasher and so i open the door and this is what i find..... yes those are socks that got washed in the dishwasher!! i know gross but hey when a 4,3,2,and 10 month old are left at home with their dad this is what happens oh how i LOVE my life!!!!!

A new member of our family!!!

2008-09-30T08:50:00.000-07:00

NO ITS NOT ANOTHER BABY!!!

We got a dog yes we are very excited about it at first i wasnt so sure 4 kids and a puppy did sound like that much fun, however now that we have her i love her. She is a weimranar(i have no clue how to spell it just sound it out) she is so fun she is still really scared but i think she will come out of that i hope!! She has taken a liking to out kids though.

She likes them when they are not chasing her around the house with toys. I think that i am her favorite, she has been rather easy to potty train as well. She has only had 2 accidents in the house, other than that she has done good. I now know that i am not a little dog person i much perfer the big dogs!!
Also we named her Sadie

2008-09-11T18:06:00.000-07:00

K well good news that "OH CRAP" at the end of my last blog was this...yes that is desetin(sp?) (well you know butt cream), so the good news is that austin wont have a rash under his nose or on his chin anytime soon. Now for the bad news i dont know how much he ate!!! So again i find myself having to call poisen control i think that they know me by my first name by now!!...........

Good news Austin will live they say that he would have had to eat a ton of it and hes not throwing up so thats a good sign!!!!

If this child lives till he is 3 we will be so blessed!!

2008-09-11T17:54:00.000-07:00

so good news everybody we are finally building a house!! we will only have to live in(utah....you know what i mean heather)not really utah for another 4 months then FINALLY after all the fun freaking fantastic experiences that we have had with a premature 2 pound baby, apartments, mice filled trailer houses that only cost 200 dollars a month then more apartments and now 2 kids then a little yellow house with more friendly huge mice and baby mice(miilions of them) and 2 cats to catch the mice that did not do their jobs!! and another baby then more apartments, beauty school, ANOTHER baby then the in laws and finally we will have a house i cant even tell you how excited we all are even the in-laws i am sure!! we are gonna build here in rigby and every one pray for us i think that we will be able to build a salon in our home so it will be perfect i will keep everyone posted on the whole experience and i am sure it will be quite the experience!!

also i would like to state for the record well for some one named heather my root canals were only like a week ago thank you very much you now have no room to talk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROOT CANAL!!!!!

2008-08-13T21:07:00.000-07:00

k well today was horrible well it wasnt as horrible as i anticipated i had to go to the dentist and get not only one root canal but 2 root canals done on the same side of my face thanks to sarah i didnt have to drive myself thank you sarah.... so i get into the chair and i asked the dentist if he could knock me out and he said no so then the next thought in my head was dang it i knew i should have made a trip to the liquor store so all i need to say to all of you is be prepared cuz they dont knock you out to drill like crazy on your teeth!! so now i am fine and i lived so thats a good thing and thank you to heather for taking my aiden hopefully he was good!!!
well next is the fact that i hate searching for a freaking house its so frustrating there again should you look for a house make a stop at the liquor store before you go look then when you go and look at all the crap holes that are out there you will be numb to it all!! we put an offer on a house but it is a pre foreclosure and so it is on the bank time and so they are just taking their sweet time i have them right now i to as well as my friend heather is feeling a huge amount of anger right now!! if any one would like to give away a house we would gladly accept it thanks!!

for sarah and heather!! I HATE GRASSHOPPERS!!!

2008-08-07T13:50:00.000-07:00

k well sarah came over today and she called me on her phone and was like...
"um im at your front door and its being attacked by grasshoppers".
and i was like..."what are you talking about psyco".

so i went up there and she is holding her 2 kids and they are all scared to death because of the grasshoppers so i took this picture to show you the attack of the grasshoppers but i couldnt get a great picture with my phone so here are just 2 of the millions of grasshoppers that are taking over our front door its scary as soon as you walk up the side walk they all just start jumping all over you!! i remember when we would catch grasshoppers and my sister kali would pull the legs off of them but i remember that you would just hold them in you r hands and they would jump all over in your hand and now even if one jumps at me i scream and run like a baby!!! so just to say i HATE grasshoppers!!

these are my favorites of averi she took dance this year and this in one of her outfits!!

2008-07-21T12:44:00.000-07:00

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments

k well its been a while but not much has been going on me and mike got new callings and well they are kinda strange but our calling is Temple goers i know your all thinking what the heck is that i know that's what went through my mind at the time well not exactly that but close anyway we have to go to the Idaho falls temple once a week and the calling lasts from 6-12 months!! I'm not gonna lie at first i was way weirded out by it but now i think that it will be a great thing for me and mike!! we couldn't even make it to the temple once a month so i think that it will be good if we can ever find a babysitter that is gonna be the biggest challenge i think it wasn't bad when you had one or two children but four is a whole other story!! anyway just so all of you know Aiden is completely potty trained even through the night and naps YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!! its so great now i only have 2 in diapers but you would be amazed at how much money that saves us!!! And you all know me i am cheap anything that i can do to save money!! well thank you for all of your ideas and comments to the potty training thing.

hey well sorry to everyone about my potty training blog i have no clue what happened to that one i dont even know what i did to do the symbols anyway hope someone can figure it out it is quite funny actually i laughed so goo luck!!

I HATE POTTY TRAINING!!!

2008-04-09T13:45:00.000-07:00

OK well i think that i have decided that i don't want to potty train my kids anymore!! i hate hate hate it!! i feel like i have failed because they just don't get it! this is how my day has gone with aiden (who will be 3 on Sunday) first we put underwear on him and he peed so we put another pair of underwear on him and he lasted a while so he said he wanted to go potty so i took him and he went only he shooted it everywhere so the next time we tried standing and shooting it in the toilet and well for all of you out there who has a boy it went everywhere so then we tried shooting at a cheerio and well lets just say Austin had a wonderful snack out of the toilet(yes i threw up in my mouth) but what can you do boys will be boys but i will say that in the end i just put a diaper on him so FRUSTRATING!!!! so if anyone has some suggestions i am so open for them.

2008-04-08T12:22:00.000-07:00

well i was lucky enough to be tagged by Nancy (thank you Nancy) so now i have to tell 7 things that you all may not know about me this will be tricky!!

1- Some of you may not know i am addicted to general hospital i watch it everyday and if i miss it then i record it(love the dvr) and my husband is now addicted as well he gets mad if i watch it with out him
2- The next thing is me and my husband have been married almost 5 years now and we have moved exactly every 6 months of our marriage.
3- I cry at everything i watch me and mike were watching a movie on lifetime and i cried and it was sooo embarrassing!
4- I secretly all growing up and even now would love to be a social worker or a counselor for children in need of help!
5- I love the elderly i think that they are so dang cute i was a CNA for a long time and i absolutely loved it every time i see a little old man i think that i just want to know everything about him they make my day!!
6- If i could afford more kids i would have 8 they i know that sounds awful but its hard these days but i always say you never truly know joy until you have kids so why wouldn't you want all the joy you could possibly have!!
7- I have to admit this was alot harder than i thought and number 7 is the hardest but here it is the one church calling i long to have is to work in the young women's i think that it would be so much fun and such an awesome experience i someday hope to get that experience!!

thanks Nancy has hard as that was i really enjoyed it now i tag Shannon, Melissa, Lisa, Ashley, Traci, and Jill
