Our adventure is ready to begin! Let me start at the beginning and highlight my favorite parts: Garth graduates from BYU in April 2006 and immediately got a job in Las Vegas. We move in with my parents and start saving money for a down payment on our “perfect first house”. In August we are happy-go-lucky first [...]
Will they ever go away!? Would it be bad to throw it in a box and label “clean laundry please fold later”
While I feed emi I like holding her hand and blogging on my iPhone. It is our special time to sit together.
Garth didn’t get much sleep last night and was really giggly at the dentist appointment today. He came home and picked up his belt and medication :) He sure is a happy guy!! And alwways make me smile :)

How could anyone resist holding this cute Pajama Butterfly!?! Ainsley says, “Mom please hold me! I need some attention!”
I’ve been in bed since 7 catching up on my FB & blog. Now I’m going to be asleep before 9! I have 1 minute!!! I must close my eyes & put down the phone!! (good thing i’m not in NY! It’s MIDNIGHT!)
Sometimes I think I’m so FUNNY!!! Nicole always makes me laugh!!!!!! I’m going to miss her :( VTing is the BEST when you go with your BEST FRIEND!!
I relaxed while the girls “played” their to-do list! Much deserved play & rest!! Emi & I watched Hulu.com
We made a list for the girls to do! Fort building, slide outside, pizza for dinner, Polly pocket, etc, brush teeth, go to bed! And they took pictures!
Hip hip hurray!!! GO MOM!! The pleasures of my very own “MOM” team cheerleaders! Cheering me onto packing victory!
After lunch we had a rest watching the Barbie Rapunzell movie. Emi layed on Ainsley’s belly.
Erin the master packer worked miracles packing up the movies (shhh – some where my Dad’s), crafts, and games!!!! She UN-invited me from the 30+ soccer team. Aiden & JD played boy stuff in the back. And Emi hung out on the bed being her normal content happy girl!
Going through the cupboards we found the original house booklet w floorplans & illustrations
Daisy HATES going to the groomers!!! She hates her nails being trimmed and really hates BOYS and people picking her up!!! x1000 Poor thing comes home exhausted! Poor groomers do NOT like the fiesty chiwawa! Daisy wouldn’t come out of the play area and so they had me come in and get her. I [...]
Daisy will sit in the back with the girls for a while and then move up and sit in the front seat. She puts her paw on the door and rolls down the window everytime!! The first time it scared her…. But I swear she does it on purpose now!
Daisy jumped in the car so happy to take a ride. She sits in between the girls in the back. (Gracie is missing bec she is at preschool) Ainsley & Daisy kept looking at each other. They are just so cute together!!! Precious moments like these are the ones we are really going to miss when [...]
A huge answer to prayers!!! Miss Daisy Dog has found a new home!! Jenny Robertson, the lady who found us Daisy over 3 years ago, is adopting Daisy!!! We are telling the girls that Daisy is going on a slumber party (like when Daisy went to visit Uncle Troy, Missy, & Tessa) and will be [...]
Happy 59th Birthday!! Mom was in utter shock to see the whole school. 1200 students. 90+ teachers & Staff. Senator Faiss, the schools 98 year old Name Sake. And the whole famLEA (missing a few) at the biggest suprise party ever!!!! She had tears in her eyes as she came walking in on the red [...]
I didn’t want to have a “accident” on stage during the huge suprise infront of 1200 middle school students! So I took all 4 toddler cousins to the locker room and gave them a pep talk & potty break! With minutes to spare before the suprise party started.
45 minutes drive to get to mom’s school for the big suprise assembly at 9:05am sharp. I got everyone up & dressed. Buckled up and fed!! Showered and shoes! And out the door at 8:14am I forgot to put on make up and brush my teeth…. I knew I forgot something!!
