Like Father, Like Son...

Ok no seriously, this is not a pose! This is what Nick found when he went to check on the kids in the bath. PRICELESS!

Oregon

A week or so ago I randomly flew to Oregon to help a friend of mine move her things back to Utah. She moved there 5 years ago when she wanted to start over with things, and just recently transferred in her job back to Utah.

We played around a bit in Oregon going to a club and some other cool places on the drive back. I can't get over how green it is there. Man am I ready for summer! Brace yourselves for these photos!

This was at a fish hatchery. These fish were over 6 feet long and 500 lbs!

I told Keira we should strap a saddle on one and she could ride it!

Outside the hatchery

Wow, don't we look LOVELY!

Looking down the waterfall, very carefully so I didn't get sick (afraid of heights)
and fall off the cliff and die...

There was moss everywhere!

GORGEOUS~!

Slackers!

Well now, I was feeling all guilty for not updating my blog until I looked around at everyone's for updates. Wow, blogging really has been put on the back burner ya'll! Hardly anyone updates like they used to, or at all. I feel much bettter now.

So with that being said, what are our weekend plans? We are going to Classic Skating on Friday with the kids. Time for me to bust out some of my old moves on the skate floor! That's right kids, I was a skating brat back in my day. I remember like it was yesterday. Getting all dressed up, piling in the good old mini van, and heading to the Galleria! Standing on the side holding our hands out so all the cute boys would smack our hands as they went by! It was a blast I tell ya~! Oh the memories! Damn I feel old.

Saturday is girls day! I am taking a dear friend out for some much needed pampering. Should be a good time. It's not often I get a girls day, so I'm pumped! I will take pictures because this blog is very very boring right now. VERY VERY BORING. Alright friends, back to work!

Well Hello!

Man has it been a while since I posted anything on this blog. Facebook took over and I neglected this thing. So, I guess I should start it up again eh? Problem is, where oh where do I even begin.

Life has been a tad hectic the past few months. There has been much going on from work to home life, but through it all I am still alive and smiling. :)

I switched jobs in November to a new company. Work has had its ups and downs, but at the moment, I really don't have much to complain about. I am a very blessed girl.

The kids are doing really good, just wrapping up the school year. It's still hard for me to believe Ke'alohi will be going into 8th grade next year. Makes me feel older and older every day. But, they are great kids and I enjoy being able to be a part of their life.

Ok, funny story of the day! Nick and I spent 10 hours on Sunday cleaning our house. It was in desperate need of some TLC. When I finished I took a hot bath and put on some silky jammies. If you know Kayden you know he is in love with his three silky blue blankies. My jammies happen to be blue. As he was in the bath he kept looking at me. He was completely baffled. Finally after a few minutes he says to me "mommy?" and I said "yes son". With a confused look on his face he replies "why are you wearing my bankies??" I couldn't help it! I laughed so hard and said "oh honey, these aren't your blankies, these are mommy's jammies". I'm not quite sure he believed me but he went on playing in the bath anyway. I love that little guy to pieces! He contines to lighten up every day I have.

Check it out!

My mom just had her first book published. She not only wrote the book, but painted the illustrations as well. I am so proud! Good job mom!

Low Carbs Sucks...

I don't think I realized how much I like bread. The hubby and I decided its time for a diet. We both need to shed about 15 lbs and so we decided to 1: watch what we are eating, and 2: work out work out work out.

I miss bread. MMMM with peanut butter and jelly, or plain, or with lots of butter. I have visions of it in my head. I'm eating soup right now for dinner and thinking, mmm a roll would be nice!

But, I can do it! I have to. I am not happy right now body wise and I am determined to shed the weight.

Oh, on a lighter note I found my best friend from when I was a little kid on facebook yesterday. I am so excited! I haven't seen her since I had Ambria and we seriously spent the first 18 years of our lives together. We were neighbors and we were always together. But ya, that was totally random in my no carb post but eh, it's been one of those days!

Chuck E Cheese on Saturday! Yes, I can't wait!

Wow! It's Been a While!

WOW! Where has time gone? I have been a busy lady lately and haven't posted forever. Things haven't changed much. Lots of little things have happened but nothing too major. So instead of go backwards and fill in all the blanks, let's start by going forwards shall we?

Tomorrow is my first day back to school in 5 months! It hasn't sunk in just yet I'm afraid. I am scared, excited, nervous, all at once! It will take a while to get back in the groove I am sure, but I can do it.

Facebook is evil. It takes precious time away from my blog. My blog is neglected and I feel bad. There just isn't enough time in my day anymore. I will try and be better. Here are a few highlights from the past month and a half.

Kids started school August 20th. Ambria is a big 1st grader. She has aced all 3 of her weekly spelling tests so far and is kicking some major butt! Ke'alohi started Jr. High. She goes to school in Lehi and her school is very nice. The boys are at a new elementary school in eagle mountain. Kayden is talking like crazy now. He is such a curious little guy, always asking what everything is and trying to say words himself. Oh, and we have been working on potty training. He's doing good, but we still need to teach him how to aim!

Bear bit one of our neighbors, and was on house arrest for a bit. He didn't mean to harm anyone he was just playing but our neighbors are pretty lame and called the police on him. It was a big misunderstanding really. Grizzly got hit by a car a few weeks ago. Luckily the guy slammed on his breaks and just tapped him but $500 later we know he is fine. He is getting so big. I will post some updated pics later for sure.

Other then that, not a lot has changed. Sorry for the delay in posts! I will try and be better going forward. Pinky promise.

Have a great day!
