My friend Chanthoeun came out and took our pictures! My kids were horrible, but Chanthoeun got some great pictures anyway! This is just a small sampling! But they are great and I love them! Visit her blog www.visualblissphoto.blogspot.com
This last week the kids and I went to Jackson Hole with my parents and little brother & his wife! We had a lot of fun! I felt bad though because of my "handi" (previous post) I couldn't do anything so everyone else was watching my kids! We did see these buffalo though and they passed right infron of our car it was pretty crazy and fun!
I though I would add this picture so Jordan & Jessica could remember how much fun we had!
As some of you may or may not know I am crippled! I was working on my house a couple weeks ago filling some holes with some spackling. When I decided it would be a good idea to use an extension ladder (I now know that was a bad idea). I put the ladder to the right height tested it a little and started my climb. About two rungs up the ladder starts collapsing and falling as do I. I put my hands down to brace myself and the ladder and myself fall down upon my poor little right thumb. The poor thing never had a chance. I quickly access the damage, a smashed flat thumb, and yell for Bryce. He came out and started running as soon as he saw the damage! We quickly made it to the hospital where there were x-rays, morphine injections, nerve blocks, surgery, 1plate 7 screws, & 2 casts later I'm almost as good as new! In 3 more weeks I have another Dr.'s appointment to determine whether or not I have to keep this thing on any longer! Yay so much fun!
I haven't posted pictures of the house in so long because it changes so much everyday! It looks different than this even today but I can't take pictures because it won't stop raining here. The outside is all done and the inside all finished. We are hopefully moving in the beginning of July so I will post more pictures of the finished outside and the finished inside when we are in and settled. Are you happy April!
I know White trash right? We haven't even moved in yet and we already have a car that won't run in the backyard and a couch on the back porch! I am sure our neighbors just love us! Sorry!
We went to the park another day and Hudson decided he could feed himself some yogurt. I don't know if he got any in his mouth but it sure did make for a funny picture and a big mess.
Hudson Put on Ellie's headband the other day I was busting a gut I thought he looked so stinking cute! Doesn't he look like an 80"s aerobic coach. lol
We had to pick up some stuff for the house the other day(pictures to come soon I promise)! Any way the kids thought it was so much fun to ride on the cart! It was so funny they were pretending to sleep too! Too cute!
What I am slow?! Yes, I am very slow but at least I did post it right? We had a great Easter the kids found their baskets and they were so excited about all the treats inside especially the yummy cereal! I church was at 10:50 so it was perfect to enjoy the morning the afternoon and evening of Easter! We woke up found all the eggs and our baskets then we got ready for church where we learned all about Jesus and how much he sacrificed for us and then we went down to grandma and grandpa Harris' for dinner and races! It was a blast. I am just sad i didn't get a picture of them in their new Sunday Easter clothes. Duh! ( If Ellie were here she would quickly tell me that is what D says, duh)! One morning my dad and I were joking around with each other and he always says Duh and so that morning I said duh to him and then Ellie repeated and my mom quickly piped up "yeah Ellie that is what D says Duh good job." So Ellie always says that is what D says Duh , whenever I say Duh! Sorry just had to add that funny story! Enjoy!
My little angels/terrors did all this while I was taking a shower. They got into my mom's cupboard, got out the dried onions and hot chocolate and proceeded to dump them both all over the house. As you can see Hudson really enjoyed eating the Hot Chocolate mix. The whole house stunk like onions forever, in fact when vacuuming you can still smell onions. They also left a stain in the playhouse where the Hot chocolate was dumped! I love these cute kids but sometimes they really test my non-existing patients. Oh and this was not the first time they have done this with the hot chocolate just the first time I got it on camera. Little Stinkers, gotta love them.
I know that these aren't great pictures but it was the best I could do! About a month ago we were sitting down eating dinner. All except Ellie because she was running around as usual. Any way Hudson was in his highchair which is one that attaches to a regular bar stool. Well my parents chairs are really heavy and Ellie was trying to push Hudson's chair across the floor which she has done quit a number of times before. Well, this time it got caught on something and it toppled over forward smashing Hudson's poor foot in between the floor and his food tray! That night he was screaming and freaked out whenever any sort of pressure was put on his foot the next day he barely walked at all he crawled for the most part and the next day he had a really bad limp so we took him to get a x-ray. Well $300 later and we have a perfect cracked bone foot! The doctor said as long as he improved everyday he ddin't need a cast! So all is well now but it was a little scary for a while!
Ellie was being so funny in the car the other day! She had this gummy bear and if you look really close she has licked it and placed it below her bottom lip and she said "mom look my beard!" I was laughing so hard! I took the picture while I was driving sso no the greatest but still funny!
Sometimes my kids are so silly! One morning Bryce showed Hudson how funny it was to sick food on his face and so Hudson couldn't stop sticking food on his face the rest the morning! Ellie got in the shower while I was going potty and decided she needed some conditioner on her dry clean hair. Hudson thought it would be fun to climb into the double doll stroller and Ellie decided it would be great fun to push him around in it. And last of all they both wanted to know what it would be like to live in Barbie's house! So they climbed inside to try it out! Sometimes I wonder why I am sane, oh wait, I'm not!

Well it has been forever since I have updated on the house progress but that is because it still looks the same on the outside. Bryce right now is finishing up a lot of little things for the electrical, plumbing, and HV/AC. All have to been done before we can get an inspection done and then we will be on to insulating and drywall. The one exciting thing is our new door! I LOVE IT! I was really worried about it when I was picking out the stain but I think it turned out perfectly and exactly how I had it pictured in my mind. (which rarely happens because I have a really great imagination, that is a whole other story) Anyway things are coming along nice and slow. If any of you would like a tour of our lovely home you can visit between the hours of 6:00 and 9:30 Mon-Thur and 8:00 am-9:00 pm on Friday and Saturday Bryce will be there and would love to not show you around! But a self guided tour is better anyway.
Okay so I lied! Apparently I was so out of it on Christmas I didn't even notice the pictures being taken! Well, here is the evidence and I think Christmas was a hit at out house! Ellie got Dress up stuff and a baby doll and Hudson got cars and blocks! I think Ellie's favorite present is what my parents gave to both the kids, a portable DVD player with two screens that we take in the car! She loves that she can now watch "shows" in her car and not just the "big car" (My parents Denali). Funny kids but gotta love 'em! Merry CHristmas everyone a month late!
