Well….I meant to post that one a few days ago! Oops! So I was really hoping Macy would come this weekend, but now she is making us wait. Silly baby!! I am starting to get impatient like Alexis…he he!

Anways---so this semester ends in two weeks! I am so excited!!! I overdid it a little bit this semester, but next semester will be better. I am taking one online class and one Monday nights so yeah. A lot better. Right now I feel like I am always either in school, in work, or doing homework. Blah! So this will be way better.

Here are some pics from Chalyze’s birthday. She got a Hannah Montana thing that teaches you the dances and stuff. She was really excited. And she loved all her other toys too. Everyone was better than the last to her….she is so cute! I still can’t believe how big she is.

Justyce wanted to play Hannah Montana too...Lex even put the wig on him, but he didn't like it because it got in his eyes...he let me snap one pic with it on, but it didn't turn out :(

This was written December 4th, 2008

Well…I started writing a blog a minute ago and my dang computer shut the internet explorer down….grrrr!! Anyways—let’s see if I can remember what I was saying…..

So…holidays! I am almost done Christmas shopping…AMAZING!! This has honestly never happened before, I am normally the person who is running to the store at Christmas Eve at like 11pm to get like 10 presents I forgot or something. But not this year….I took advice from my mom and made me like 4-5 lists and kept it pretty organized and it worked! Ssshhh…..don’t tell her that though! I have been that scroogey person the past couple years, and I get so stressed and upset and I just don’t want to be like that anymore. So me and my family have really cut back on our spending this year and we plan to do a lot of family stuff and really focus more on lights and candy and the fun parts! I am really excited!!

We also have an addition coming soon!!! Alexis is due to have Macy anytime now. My dad is sure its going to be tomorrow on Jason’s birthday and Alexis hopes he is right! She is so ready to have Macy….talk about impatient! Ha ha! She is definitely gonna be learning some patience soon, and I have a feeling Macy is going give them a run for their money for sure! I am way excited. They are going to be great parents..! And I’m really excited for me too! LOL…

Christina, JR, and Emily are hopefully going to be coming in March. I am way excited for that too… She is already getting so big and I have never even held her…..makes me sad! But I will see her soon. She is already holding her own bottle and talking! (well baby talk but still).

Chalyze turns 7 this Sunday! I cannot believe how big she is. I can still remember very clearly the day she was born. She is so amazing too. She is mature for her age and she cracks me up all the time. Justyce is also getting so big. I am way behind in the kid department here….heather is having twins!! She told me I could have one and then changed her mind…dang her! No I am kidding! Not about the twins…about her letting me have one. She is going to have 4 kids though! WOW!! She is going have a lot of her hands there. I am way excited though. Lots of new babies and fun stuff.

Oh….and I also have to comment on Twilight. I freakin loved the movie. I heard from a lot of people that it wasn’t good and I heard from a lot it was and I really liked it. I thought the actors did an excellent job and I loved how it focused on the love story which is the way the books were written. So yeah! Anyways…..gotta get back to work!

Happy Holidays!!! (Who knows when I will get back on!)

My crazy life!

Ok...I am still trying to get into this whole blogging thing. So yeah--just an update!

First I want to say--school sucks! I am not like it at all! I always get this way around this time in a semester, but wow! overwhelming!

Up there is a pic of Alexis (she is showing a lot more than that now.) She is also doing really well, by the way. She is home on bed rest for probably the rest of her pregnancy--which she hates---but both her and Macy are good. She is bored out of her mind, but yeah!

I am still working at Alltel....we changed our schedule a little and are now doing shorter shifts, but more days. I really like it, but some of the people I work with are no so happy about it. Anyways--and as far as my struggle and new goal of weightloss....I am doing good. I am down 25 lbs..huge for me! And I am happy. Got over my depression (so it seems) and I seem to be ok. I still get over emotional sometimes, but mostly I am good.

Well can't think of much else! I would love to hear from some of you...any of you!?!? Later!

opening up!

ok-so I am pretty private about somethings..........and open about a lot. But I had lap band surgery recently and it has been so hard. Its hard to explain to people and its hard to deal with. I feel like I am depressed all the time and I know I have been so unbelievably different and quiet and its not because I don't care or because I am changing, I just don't like to be emotional or "weak" in front of people so I just don't talk. So to anyone who I have been "cold" to...I am truly sorry. Things are getting better and I am hoping I will be healthier now. That's another thing....now that I am started....why do people assume I only did this to loose weight? I actually like who I am, and I did before. I did it for health reasons....weird. Anyways-thats enough venting for me! Thanks for being there!

So.....we went camping again this last weekend and it was so much fun!! So very relaxing. We went to Buffalo Campground up by Island Park. Our original plan was to go to box canyon and then go to Buffalo just for the float, but we decided to just stay in Buffalo. It was so nice and shady and it smelled so piney (if that's even a word!). It was Alexis, Bob, my mom and me. It was fun. My dad rode his harley up on Saturday and spent the day with us. Me, Lex, Bob and my dad ended up going on a float Saturday and it was awesome. The water wasn't too cold. The nights however were very cold---I am normally a lot colder than most, but I litterally wore two pair of pants, two shirts, two socks and like 3-4 quilts. All but my face was pretty cozy! We have another trip planned there in August with the whole family and I am really looking forward to that. Other than that, not a whole lot going on. Just working and enjoying the summer off. I start school again in August and at this point, I am not looking forward to that at all. Well night!

Just got home!

hey! So I just got home from camping! The first one of the year! Go me! I know its a little late, but with work and vacation, this was the first one that worked out. It was so much fun!! There were hardly any bugs and the weather was awesome! It got a little cold at night, but other than that great! A lot of my family was able to come so that was pretty awesome too. On Saturday we went swimming in the lake (which by the way is about 3/4s full this year! NICE!). I jumped right in and was completely shocked by 1. how cold the water was and 2. I went completely under and fell out of my tube! Poor lex stayed on the dock and now is redder than most lobsters :-( Then Saturday night we had dutch oven cooking and played some games and had a blast!! I am definetely glad to be home and CLEAN, but it was an awesome camping trip! And lucky me, I only got sun-burned on my face and one little spot on my arm where I must have forgot sun-tan lotion! Anyways-hope all is well for everyone else and if I don't talk to you before--have a great and safe 4th!!

Here is Andy and Bob playing with the rubber ducky that Alexis got as her floaty! LOL

New to blogger

hello everyone!

So I am new to this and its just something I'm trying out because it seems more personal and less gossipy than myspace (which is where I have been). So yeah! Anyways-so some updates on my life! I am currently on vacation in Arizona! Its so hot here!! Its 112 degrees! AAH! And I heard home in Idaho it snowed last week. WOW! Crazy difference. I really like seeing all my family here and I am having so much fun! I am not going to be sad about leaving the weather though. Too hot for me!

Today was one of my best friend's babyshower! It was so much fun! She got a ton of stuff and a lot of people came. We played a ton of games and had some really yummy cake and food. So yeah! I am going to be the god-mother of her baby and I am really excited and also a little nervous! I have never had that kind of responsibility before and I am just hoping I do good.

Also, my little sister Alexis is expecting! She is 9 weeks pregnant and is definetely feeling the baby sickness when it comes to food. Well that's all I can really think of right now--so hope this works!
