A is getting older busier, so I think we'll have to stick with summer soccer only for her from now on. She is doing great in school and her teachers love her. Parent teachers conferences are always short and sweet. Her math homework is getting harder too and sometimes I really have to think about it when she asks me for help! She is still doing piano and not liking practicing at all. Once she learns a song, (which never takes her long) she does really well. She is even playing a version of Malaguena for her school talent show later this month. She is so tall too! She is going to pass me up in the next couple of years easily. Its fun to watch her grow up and she is such a big help with her siblings. Her primary teacher stopped me in the hall at church a couple weeks ago and told me how much she enjoys A in her class and that she participates so well. A gave a family home evening lesson recently with zero help from mom and dad. She told us a story from the friend, asked questions, gave a personal example, and then challenged us to do better. It was awesome! She is amazing. She loves it when I straighten her curly hair so she can see how long it is. If she had her way, she'd look like Rapunzel. Its really grown lately and when its straight falls just passed her shoulders. She also has shown a lot of maturity in dealing with some friend problems at school (2 girls were fighting over her friendship and didn't want her to be friends with the opposing girl). She impresses me with her concern and kindness for others as she and other girls in her class got it worked out. It makes me sad she has to deal with things like that in 3rd grade, but she handled it so well and sought help from us, she really did the right thing.<br />In Hawaii she spent most of her time body surfing, boogie boarding and helping her cousin look for shells. She has no fear of water and is a very good snorkeler too. She tries just about anything and is usually good at it! Last night I was putting her to bed and she had tears in her eyes. I asked what was wrong and she said, "mostly I'm crying because I miss Hawaii"<br /><br />B is growing so fast too. He really enjoyed playing soccer, and always wanted to be the goalie. One of his first games he started to cry after about 15 minutes. He came to the side and I asked him what was wrong and he said, "I'M SWEATING!" I tried not to laugh too much and told him it was ok to sweat and that its good for him. He got over his dislike for sweating pretty quickly though. They don't keep scores in the little kids league, but after every game he would know the score perfectly and was very disappointed if his team didn't win. He also got to go to a gymnastics class with some friends from January to March (anything to burn off some energy!). He loved it, but would have preferred total free time to learning specific things. I finally let him wrestle too. I was worried about him being old enough for it, but apparently I waited too long because when we started there were 3 & 4 year olds there. He always chased after the little kids to partner with. I asked him why and he said it was because they were easier to beat.<br />Bryant helped coach so he was there with him almost every time. At then end there was a tournament with all the little kids. Bryson cried and wouldn't wrestle the first round. We kept trying to talk him into it, but it just made it worse. When we backed off and let the other coach take over Bryson did end up wrestling and did good. He remembered his moves and tried. At the end all the kids got a little trophy and he informed me he got it because he was the best wrestler there. He just started t-ball and is liking it so far. The first game is tomorrow.<br />He is in pre-school 3 days a week and is graduating from it this month. He and one of his friends are tied for the tallest in the class. He has really improved this past year at being in a class room setting and can read some small words. I can't believe he is going to go to kindergarten in the fall! He loved Hawaii too and tried snorkeling for the first time in the hotel pool the last day we were there. He was very brave in the waves too. He and his cousins body surfed all day every day, unless we were of course at the pool, then he was on the slide. Today at church I asked the primary what the bishop's job in our ward is and he raised his hand and said, "to hold the doors open for everyone" He always keeps us smiling.<br /><br />C is now 2 and thinks and talks like she is 5 or 6. She turned 2 at the end of March and talks in complete sentences. She amazes everyone with her ability to express herself. She is also a mini me I'm told. My parents watched her for a few days in March while Bryant and I took a quick trip by ourselves (A&B stayed with Bryant's parents). My mom said it was unreal sometime to look at her and what she was doing and it was just like when I was that age.<br />C is our princess. She loves, loves, loves shoes, anything pink or sparkly, and necklaces. She will wear sunglasses, dress up shoes with heels, a necklace and a tu tu for as long as I will let her. She will also let me curl her hair and asks for pony tails. She loves her nails painted and has had many pedicures while I am trying to potty train her (which isn't easy. I feel like I've forgotten how to do it). She is also stubborn and knows exactly what she wants when she wants it. She does course correct and responds well to time out after I wait out the fit. Its called being 2. Her obsession with hair continues, and I'm not sure it will ever end. Her favorite thing is a sippy of milk, a blanket, and someone to sit by her so she can play with their hair. Even as an infant when she would nurse she would hold onto a lock of my hair. She has her own Rapunzel doll in her bed that she plays with the hair while she falls asleep. I've gone in to check on her at night and found her rubbing the hair of the doll between her fingers while she sleeps. She is also super loving and miss personality. She'll come up to me and say things like: "I like your earrings." "I love you." "I like your shirt." "I like your hair." and on and on. She loves her big brother and big sister. She walks around the house calling them if she can't see them. Oh, the other phrase I hear often is "No Kona!" C is right at tail level and walks by Kona with her hands covering her face so she doesn't get whacked. Every time I try to video tape her amazing speaking she stops talking or talks a whole lot less. Which is pretty impressive because she never stops talking or commenting on everything. Between A, B, and C there is never a quite moment at our house as they all vie for control of the conversation. Oh, unless the TV is on then I can't get anyone to move!<br /><br />As for me and Bryant we are our busy selves. I've been the Primary president for a year and a couple months and am just starting to feel more comfortable, but by no means adequate. Bryant is the Scout Master and that is a challenge in and of itself. He does a great job though and the boys love him. In March we got to go on a 5 day trip by ourselves and went to Las Vegas. We decided not to see any family even though we love our vegas cousins and spend time together. We went to the Mountain West Conference basketball tournament and Bryant of course was elated. I have to admit for me, it was fun too. Seeing Jimmer score 50+ in one game was amazing. Then end of our trip was really hard for me though because I got a call that my good friend's 8 week old baby passed away while we were gone. It breaks my heart to think of it even now. She died from a combination of RSV and Influenza A. Watching my friend and her family go through this is heartbreaking, but seeing their amazing testimonies and faith is inspiring.<br />Hawaii was awesome too. Spending time with all of Bryant's family there was great and I absolutely could live in Maui. We snuck in a little snorkeling and wave time ourselves when C was napping in our little tent on the beach.<br />Today Bryant's grandma is dying of pneumonia. He got a call yesterday that she wasn't doing well and left for Cokeville. He and his parents are with her now at the hospital in Montpilier. Her body isn't fighting the infection at all. She is 80+ and has a DRN so they are just being with her until the end. She is sedated because of the pain. 2 of his brothers and his sister are on their way there too. His oldest brother has to work and I'm sure its so hard for him not to be there. Seeing her at Christmas made me worry for her so much. She is such a strong lady an has lived a full, and at times hard, life. Her husband passed away when Bryant was a child, so she has been alone a long time. I remember the first time I met her when Bryant and I were dating and stopped in Cokeville to see her on our way to GR from Ricks. She gave me a hug right away and said, "just call me grandma." She is so loving and gave so much service to her family. We all have beautiful afghans made by her and have enjoyed so much of her food and homemade candy and hospitality.<br />I am so grateful for the gospel in my life. I am so grateful for my Savior who suffered and died for all of us so that we might live again one day. I am so grateful to be sealed in the temple as a forever family so our bond together can never be broken. Death separates those we love from us for a little while, but not forever. This knowledge is such a comfort to me and sustains me and I know it to be true.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBoteOq92TBDeAl2uxyTN61MOd8mE7mXRN82ms0pD22ATY-tUAGj62bJaU253LrbZys9AihijU1S6o2ff28BDbdipgJATPkvhSE5JUC26izaTZFbiSnXgoEFMxpcIFhyF1wC2UnO2bi3KJ/s1600/IMG_7494.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBoteOq92TBDeAl2uxyTN61MOd8mE7mXRN82ms0pD22ATY-tUAGj62bJaU253LrbZys9AihijU1S6o2ff28BDbdipgJATPkvhSE5JUC26izaTZFbiSnXgoEFMxpcIFhyF1wC2UnO2bi3KJ/s400/IMG_7494.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601859734187030450" border="0" /></a>The last time all Bryant's niece's and nephews and our kids were with their GG.

Acutally I thought it had been a year since I last blogged, so it wasn't as bad as I thought! I've been putting some stuff on facebook, but life has gotten so crazy I've done no journaling (yes its not a real word, but you know what I mean) here.<br />The kids are growing so quickly. A is 8 now and was baptized in September and such a big help. She is super smart and does really well in school and in the gifted and talented program too. She is doing well at piano, even though she says she doesn't like it. I know she secretly does because when she gets a song down she memorizes it and plays it all the time. B just turned 5 and LOVES the Wii, a bit too much ! :-) He is way better than I am all ready. He is in pre-school and was one of the first kids to be able to write his name well. He is playing soccer right now and is determined to get a goal every game. He loves to win, which is great, but we are also trying to teach him how to lose gracefully and the importance of taking turns! C is 20 months and talking constantly. She is so very cuddly and trying to start potty training. She is my first to say so many things at so young and can repeat just about anything. She is always singing to herself and constantly requesting, "me me milk!" translation "bring me milk now!" My mom says she looks just like a mini me. She loves her nursery class and playing with her friends.<br />We got another dog in Oct. It about killed me to get her house trained, but getting her was my idea. (of which I am constantly reminded when I complain about things being tough :-) Her name is Kona and she is a mastiff/pyreneese mix. She is very calm and good with the kids. She will be a giant, about 180-200 pounds. Her drawbacks are giant, um, you know what I mean, and shedding. Everyone avoids her Sunday morning so we don't go to church covered in dog hair! She lets me vacuum her, so that does help. Jazzie has gotten used to her and now they share and play together.<br />We spent Thanksgiving with my family and Christmas with Bryant's. Both Holidays were great fun and we can't wait for next year's.<br />Primary keeps me sooooooooooo busy. I'm always behind! Bryant just got asked to be the Scout Master over 2 wards. I wasn't asked to be there when they issued this calling to him, and I think it was because they didn't want to see me cry, so Bryant would say yes. He is doing well at it and I am doing my best to be supportive.<br />Zumba is my release and my fun time, so thanks Christine and Nanette!<br />We have a lot of fun things planned for this coming year and I will try to keep up with them, no promises though!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMN0b_uW8eNnYWhMxslMOP43LGJ6amnNf-LWhjGIbHkX3dPUDDFBGdCSy_BtVv_cgPILYiJfviWR2h5zMe3cOazLNS1Ebhvs8Wxm4OMpjUZnMzGEVNxWmXbp43tq1NvenAyNtpGn2p9OoH/s1600/IMG_2063.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMN0b_uW8eNnYWhMxslMOP43LGJ6amnNf-LWhjGIbHkX3dPUDDFBGdCSy_BtVv_cgPILYiJfviWR2h5zMe3cOazLNS1Ebhvs8Wxm4OMpjUZnMzGEVNxWmXbp43tq1NvenAyNtpGn2p9OoH/s320/IMG_2063.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561402772706020562" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTRT5SrAon8i79oih8Y3h0rh_xVmex6a0dRTL_p6Xg3mxbI9Z5uFkSxpbKdzcsx-oFjO-ZbWVpfjCA7WwaCxpgIdGtlvIsiDUTB81xCcrFjQN57ln6V4bRli3k4AxVy9-X2NZ6jSQi48cp/s1600/IMG_1523.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTRT5SrAon8i79oih8Y3h0rh_xVmex6a0dRTL_p6Xg3mxbI9Z5uFkSxpbKdzcsx-oFjO-ZbWVpfjCA7WwaCxpgIdGtlvIsiDUTB81xCcrFjQN57ln6V4bRli3k4AxVy9-X2NZ6jSQi48cp/s400/IMG_1523.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561405487713195794" border="0" /></a></div>Cierahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12272324881745718773noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828428915477803140.post-2859739859493634892010-07-09T15:10:00.002-06:002010-07-09T15:13:21.642-06:00Yes we are alive! My blog has been severely neglected!<br /><br />I feel like summer is flying by! We have camped a lot so far. Last weekend we were camping with my whole family, which was great because we hadn't all been together in a long time! But we had to leave a camp ground in Payson canyon (right by Payson, UT where I grew up) because of a bear that wouldn't go away and wasn't afraid of people at all. It came into the camp site next to ours about 4-6 times. The forest service tried to catch it several times but it kept getting away so they kicked us out for our own safety. We never actually saw it because of the trees between the camp sites, but Bryant heard it and the forest service got a picture of it. My oldest daughter was really upset by the idea of a bear so close to her, but she calmed down after a while. <br />Ashelynn 7, is growing up really fast and comes up to the base of my neck when she stands next to me. She will be taller than me in a couple years for sure. She did a basketball camp this summer and did really well. She can't wait for her birthday in August and wants to start planning a big party now!<br />Bryson is 4 and just learned how to ride a 2 wheel bike. We were at a friends house yesterday and he climbed on their little boy's bike. My friend held the seat because I was holding Caringtyn, and he just took off. He was a natural and never fell. I was amazed! I took the training wheels off his bike today and he did the same thing. I just held the seat for a second so he could get on, and then he took off again. Last summer he was jumping on our tramp and starting flipping all on his own, at 3! No one even showed him what to do. He is a ball of energy and makes us laugh all the time.<br />Caringtyn is 1 and is miss personality. She wants to do everything on her own because that is what the big kids do. She can give a really good mean face when she isn't happy and a very crinkled nose smile when she is. She is constantly climbing on anything she can and makes me very nervous when we go to the park. She loves to sing "If You're Happy and You Know It" and does all the actions. She is really learning words quickly and can say: hi, mama, dada, dog, go, up, shoe, bye bye, baby, key, no no (complete with a finger shake), papa, jazz (our dog's name), down, all done, . . . and well you get the idea. She understands everything going on around her and babbles a lot too.<br />I will post pictures later!

I can't keep up with anything anymore. November brought more sickness to the kids, mostly Caringtyn. She can't shake the ear infections. She may need tubes. We'll find out next week. She has had an ear infection everymonth since October. Poor little gal! She is a strong baby though because she stays happy, mostly, despite the ear trouble! <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431641106344670498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDqCJC0MCR4fYnM_m6G8RBAN4_NLdknR5SFLIxefxtxBdUSshyphenhyphenY0YG-QJyjQur_KcQQCm0nskU7sCcbLCeaG8LySCuSb12RbRUYLyIVN5obDV2uXBUkR6KP0VL1lFU3lsM3Hlr2vr5sHbb/s320/100_5384.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431641117738751970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhljrPbOHrWQ3gO9puebe5ldYFxsgHpG5CAGrVdCDNprrLTkonIzGt4ud_ThOSOEPnzyCEY_8aR440f_9WhOe56BbCXVu6s7MbrdattZe-z4Aoh7xEYABgNSpFLlpxFclEsFX997fC88I7X/s320/100_5408.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431641111892037266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtNuHLUZtX9RKpxMbTmZUQlK9m3ErL86pzWpFFyiV4Hm6uWwFjyVLnxS-ulTT3THhnNGNYSiYBEpD_EqME-33nSLvAuSGu7pofUXN3sunIdcnoBA2Tdrr-zZ7Pm_l5iCxi2NeAOo3_crXQ/s320/100_5406.JPG" />Anyway, in Nov. we had Thanksgiving with Bryant's family.

I've been really good about it the last couple years, but not this one! Oh well! Hopefully I'll get one out soon. We did a ton of Christmas decorations like always; but its the last year we do all those lights on our house. Bryant slipped and fell off the roof right above the garage. He was ok, but pretty bruised. So enjoy the picture.

Stake standards night practices have started and I am in charge of it all. I've been working on it since Oct. I finished the script just in time and got all the music in order. Just before we started practices, I was also called to be the primary president in my ward. I'm so blessed to have good councilors and secretary who are keeping the primary together right now! I feel overwhelmed to say the least! Standards Night is March 17th, so I hope to be sane by then! Caringtyn is sick again right now. Bryson got a bad cold and in her it turned into a respiratory infection. She was much sicker than I realized, so I feel bad! Ashelynn is just starting to cough now, so it continues! </p><p>I got to visit my sister and her family in Houston this month too. It was so fun to see her and her family. It was nice to get a little warmer weather too. She lives in a great area and has so much shopping I am jealous! We got to go to NASA too. It was awesome. I wish Ashelynn and Bryson could have seen it. They would have loved it. It was such a nice visit and nice to get away. I also got to see Cameron and Michelle because they live in Houston right now too!</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Cierahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12272324881745718773noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828428915477803140.post-23872121387695516072009-11-12T11:09:00.000-07:002009-11-12T11:09:43.034-07:00Old Pictures<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><br /><br /><br />I was going through some files and found this picture of my Dental Hygiene class.

So I took the younger two to UT and hung out with my family. I had Caringtyn's pictures taken and they turned out so very cute! I can't post them though because of course, they were copyrighted. I have lots of other cute pics of her though.<br />Bryant did the Art On The Green again and took second place! He did so well, like always and its a fun weekend for all of us to go see him paint and look at the booths at the Riverfest. My parents came and my dad's blue grass band played at the reception right before the art auction. I haven't seen that band play in so long, it was really fun to watch. They were such a hit that they were asked to come back next year. The kids loved the booths and time at the splash park and car show with Grandmas and Grandpas and friends.

Bryant had his long elk hunt scheduled. Right before he left Caringtyn got an ear infection, but was on meds and doing better. The night before he left Ashelynn had a fever in the night. While he was gone Bryson got very sick (probably that crazy flu). I couldn't call him or anything. I was dead tired, but we were ok. Bryant's mom helped us a lot by running to the store for us. Bryant found out how sick we were from his dad who was hunting with him so he cut his trip short and came home. I was so relieved! He tried to take care of everyone in the night when he came home so I could sleep. Caringtyn however, won't let him help her in the night! :( I don't know why! She loves him in the day, but wants only me at night! Oh well. So we were better for a week then Ash got sick a few days ago again and worse this time too! She is doing better now and can go back to school tomorrow. In between being sick I took the kids to the school Halloween carnival. Hopefully they stay wel enough to get dressed up for the really Halloween in a couple days! Bryson is a nija, Ashelynn a witch, and Caringtyn a BYU cheerleader.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOaLoaU_fa5OefAvSvxf4aa7dGdeKlIbxr2CuljxH3lm-o2fxfknTF9WWg3ajcJ1iC8GNv3-w0KDcaq2DcHBk_yBTv170O9HtE_WM9POU68iFTEruCm4gjWKoEn_nDPU2Jg9tE2p33MMD1/s1600-h/100_5230.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOaLoaU_fa5OefAvSvxf4aa7dGdeKlIbxr2CuljxH3lm-o2fxfknTF9WWg3ajcJ1iC8GNv3-w0KDcaq2DcHBk_yBTv170O9HtE_WM9POU68iFTEruCm4gjWKoEn_nDPU2Jg9tE2p33MMD1/s320/100_5230.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397770994507643058" border="0" /></a><br />Caringtyn is now 7 months old and here is a cute video of her in the bath!

I'm so lame. We have been so very busy and having so much fun that I've forgotten about my poor little blog. I'm sure no one looks at it any more. Good thing it doubles as a family journal!<br />So lets see, May what did we do. We got a trailer and went camping in Cokeville, WY. That was fun. It was one of the few if not the first trip we have done something with just our little family and didn't add extended family into the trip. Well, that's not entirely true. We helped Bryan'ts grandma put in her garden while we were there, but we were the only ones camping. Ashelynn finished first grade and did very well too. She really misses her teacher and seeing her friends there every day. Here are some pics of our cute kids in May, followed by camping pictures!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEKJERLvzylAHXKtoJzrLuOtzqckv1DD5TOHtNhyf4Q6XIuSFo70Mu3ypEvEP30xBGsDThMjZtcd0XjHrFfCxSRA4L_Yhwb0nXqCvcnHfnFAtsk4OC2gKvnZ76pV3oc5Whu5Oo3PRDvZKZ/s1600-h/100_4796.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Getting her to practice wasn't easy, but she enjoyed it once she got the songs down. Bryant had his 33 birthday the same weekend we blessed Caringtyn so he got to have several family parties with his family and mine. Caringtyn's blessing was nice and she didn't cry during it! I am always afraid that my children will cry when they get blessed, but not one of the has! The second weekend of June Bryant's brother's baby was blessed also. Little Paxton and Caringtyn are only 3 days apart and we were able to get some cute pics of them together in their blessing outfits. The next weekend of June we went camping with my parents. My parent's stake was finishing girls camp the day we started camping. Since my mom is the stake YW president, she was still at the girl's camp and we met her there. My parent's were in charge of guarding the whole camp over the weekend until the next stake got there so we were able to stay at the camp for free and help watch over it while it wasn't in use. It was a fun trip. The last part of June we went to Yellowstone with some good friends from BYU and their families. We rented a cabin in Island Park, ID. We had fun in Yellowstone and went on a slow river raft ride. The ride on the river was fun, but we were very glad to see the end because we has very tired and hungry kids. Caringtyn did pretty well on the raft considering her age. Ashelynn and her friend Emmy would get in and out of the raft and walk the river because it was so shallow. Bryson helped us paddle the whole way. We saw some people fishing and he yelled out to them, "You fishing?" to shich they said yes and then he said, "Did you catch one?" To which they said yes. Then he yells out, "Good Job!"<br />All of June when we were home I played catch up trying to get ready for the next trip. It was fun, but I am tired!!!<br />As July started we were finishing up our Yellowstone trip and headed straight to UT. We went to 7 peaks with Andy and Heidi and Gary and Jen and their families. Then Bryant had his family's golf tournament and his neice was blessed. My sister and her family were in town from Texas so we spent some time with them also.<br />We feel really blessed to have so much family and friends and so many fun things going on, but I am worn out! The kids have done really well with all the commotion and traveling. I love them so much and they are wonderful!<br /><br /><br />Piano recital<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXynGhRn8mJF8ybYlywM2n7cGl13o45BC_tEX4LhGKSEc9d2w0AjalKOExeCaIKLDAS8_R0T2A_SYEStM954u3UeLF-ABnv0eCkaOJOTWu1jJH8gp7D9UwMyAlmlLqB5XZyZ4lpuxnS0xg/s1600-h/100_4853.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

We named her Caringtyn and just love her of course! My mom came and helped us which was awesome!<br />I went in to be induced and was trying to see how long I could go without and epidural. They gave me the pitosin about 6:30 pm. My contractions got to be 2 minutes apart and hard so when they checked my at 9:30 I was sure I would be close. Well I was still a 3! So since it seemed to be going so slow I decided it was time for the epidural because who knew how long it was going to take. I got the epidural at 9:30 and then suddenly I was a 6 then 15 minutes later was a 10! I was only half numb since the epidural didn't really have time to work because it happened so fast! I was glad to get done fast, even though it hurt. She looks a lot like Ashelynn did as an infant, which Ash was very pleased about. She loves to hold her. Bryson says he loves her but doesn't want her to touch him!

I"m getting nervous! I hope I can handle 3 little kids! I hope the baby is a good baby! I hope the delivery goes smoothly! I basically hope everything a 9 month pregnant mom does.<br /><br />I had my last check up appointment on Monday. I"m not dilating yet, which is good because if I was I would have needed to stay in UT. But I am starting to thin out. I"m not going to restrict my activity anymore because I really want this little girl, and my body, to be ready for her to come next week.<br /><br />Of course there was a snow storm that started the day of my appointment so the kids and I were stuck in UT until Wed. because the freeways were closed. I"m glad that we got to stay longer (other than Ashelynn missing school) because we got to spend more time with my parents and my sister and her family who are currently visiting from TX. Here is a cute collage of some pics that I took while we were there of my kids, my nephews, and my sister's kids.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiULhGZjLsj800rhdW_LjFMC7Y28t_WTdrebFfHpaD_BNeeQ2LiFSysVLqgmtY5_1uHDvHshsbfZtCz0CsKg1S4FgxrRbAKbA7hw1Jwr1DjtMQeoWH7YVAHBpkF32HQ0UgvkX_NoBvsVK4s/s1600-h/32009.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiULhGZjLsj800rhdW_LjFMC7Y28t_WTdrebFfHpaD_BNeeQ2LiFSysVLqgmtY5_1uHDvHshsbfZtCz0CsKg1S4FgxrRbAKbA7hw1Jwr1DjtMQeoWH7YVAHBpkF32HQ0UgvkX_NoBvsVK4s/s400/32009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312498796575871634" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The next post will be the new baby!Cierahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12272324881745718773noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828428915477803140.post-54006722712292098932009-03-04T21:12:00.005-07:002009-03-21T16:14:57.009-06:00Update and Quilt DirectionsSo I must have been busy last month not to write <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">anything! </span><br /><br />I did turn 30! Its still young, but I'm sad I can't say I'm 20 something anymore. I remember when my mom turned 30, so I guess it does make me feel old! No offense mom! :) For my b-day Bryant sent me some wonderful roses and my mom came up to visit. We went out to lunch and then had dinner here. We made steak and shrimp for dinner. It was really good. Then Bryant's parents came over for cake. My kids tried shrimp for the first time and really liked it. The shrimp didn't like Bryson though. He was up half the night throwing up from it! Poor little guy!<br />The next day some friends had lunch for me which was so nice! Thanks for the gifts and thanks Ashley for hosting!<br /><br />The rest of Feb. went by in a flash it seems. Ashelynn had soccer and scored a goal in her last game of the season. We were so proud of her and glad that she had so much fun!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwbSageZ1UKa5xtF0xlhyphenhyphenqyWTjaLvQGd6oQegn6XlTkehl2zuOHQcZ7tct27rWCnW6Dz90dZ-CC7qlAVZgd2rJmAi3pDBGLaCnTKEv1vtFdAdZFsSSH4hXD-I9tzlzhoNWBiwgRzwWxOYy/s1600-h/100_4544.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309556775551862818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwbSageZ1UKa5xtF0xlhyphenhyphenqyWTjaLvQGd6oQegn6XlTkehl2zuOHQcZ7tct27rWCnW6Dz90dZ-CC7qlAVZgd2rJmAi3pDBGLaCnTKEv1vtFdAdZFsSSH4hXD-I9tzlzhoNWBiwgRzwWxOYy/s320/100_4544.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Bryant went to the Convention and saw a quite a few of our friends from Omaha. He also got to go to the state championship wrestling tournament. His cousin is a senior and was wrestling. Bryant has gone to his house a couple of times in the last 2 years to coach him a bit, which they both loved! Bryant loves that tournament and it made it even better because his cousin won state for his weight! Way to go Andrew! I helped with stake standards night again teaching the music to the kids. It seemed that all the practices were at the exact times that Bryant all ready had things planned months ago, so thanks to Ashley and my mom for helping watch my kids! The preformance was tonight. It was fun to watch and I'm glad that its all done!<br /><br />So now its March and I only have a few weeks left of being pregnant. I'm getting nervous! I hope it all goes well and that I can handle 3 little kids! It will all work out because it has too!<br /><br />Well here are the promised quilt directions. I really wanted to post pictures of the process, but I don't have time, or the ability to bend, that I would need to make another one! If they don't make sense I'm sorry! Email me if you have questions if anyone decides to try and make one!<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Quilt Directions</span><br /><br /><br />You will need 1 yard of a cotton print that you really like for one side. Then another separate yard of the same fabric. With these 2 prints you will put the wrong sides together. So you will be able to see the print on one side and see it through the fray on the other side.<br /><br />You will then need 4 separate yards of a soft thin <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1236226264_0" style="CURSOR: pointer; BORDER-BOTTOM: rgb(0,102,204) 1px dashed">flannel fabric</span> (You don't want thick flannel because it will not fray). Small patterns on them are fine because if the pattern is small you really won't see it.<br /><br />Iron all the pieces.<br /><br />Layer the pieces on a flat surface. (I use my floor because my table isn't big enough to have them totally flat).<br /><br />Match all layers as close as you can so all edges are the same. It won't work perfectly, because they probably aren't cut perfectly to a yard each, but do the best you can not to have some layers hang over others.<br /><br />First layer is your baby print face down (the wrong side will face you). - --Smooth out all wrinkles<br />Second layer is baby print facing you.<br />*Smooth all over until flat with no wrinkles<br />Third through sixth layers are the flannel. Right sides facing you. Use the color you like the <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">least</span> first because you won't see that layer as much once its frayed.<br />*Smooth all over until flat with no wrinkles after placing each layer<br />The last flannel layer should be the one that matches the print the best because you will see that the most (this is the mistake I made on my last blanket and why the side don't match as well as I would like them too on mine).<br /><br />Once you have smoothed all the layers out you start pinning using <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1236226264_1">safety pins</span>. Use a lot of safety pins! The fabric is going to shift a bit as you sew it. The more pins, the less it will shift.<br /><br />Turn the blanket over so your baby print side is facing you. Smooth again.<br />You may have to re-pin if that layer shifted a alot<br /><br />Once its all very flat and pinned you can draw your <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1236226264_2">starting line</span><br />Use a washable marker and a yard stick to draw a straight <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1236226264_3" style="CURSOR: pointer; BORDER-BOTTOM: rgb(0,102,204) 1px dashed">diagonal line</span> from one corner to the other on the print side (while you sew the lines the print side will be facing you).<br /><br />You will need 2-3 spools of thread that will blend into your print side to sew the lines. Since you will we sewing so many lines be aware of how much thread is left on your bobbin. It stinks to have the bobbin run out in the middle of a long line!<br /><br />Use a new heavy gauge machine needle to sew this. All the layers will dull your needle by the time you are done, and if the needle is too thin, it will break.<br /><br />Start by sewing straight down the line you drew. Remember to back stitch the beginning and end of each line.<br /><br />********Keep the fabric very tight as you sew the lines so the fabric doesn't pucker. It will pucker easily because of all the layers you so really have to work to keep it flat and smooth as you run it through the machine.**************<br /><br />For the next and all following lines use the foot of your <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1236226264_4" style="CURSOR: pointer; BORDER-BOTTOM: rgb(0,102,204) 1px dashed">sewing machine</span> as a guide. Place the outside of your foot next to the last line you did, then start the next line. You will be working from the middle to the outside corner.<br /><br />Once you finish a side, turn the blanket around (print side still facing you) and start at the middle line and sew outward again.<br /><br />When all lines are done you begin cutting.<br />Use a flat surface. Turn the blanket so the flannel side is facing you now.<br /><br />Cut in between every sewn line making sure <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">not</span></span> to cut the 2 layers of baby print fabric<span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br />There is a tool you can purchase for this that makes it go much faster. Its a rotary blade for making chenille blankets. I've made several blankets using scissors to cut the layers. After one blanket my scissors were dull. After cutting several blankets, my scissors were ruined! The tool saves a lot of time!<br /><br />After you have cut every space between your sewn lines you are ready to even out the blanket<br /><br />Use a cutting mat, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1236226264_5" style="CURSOR: pointer; BORDER-BOTTOM: rgb(0,102,204) 1px dashed">rotary cutter</span>, and a <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1236226264_6">straight edge guide</span>. I have a quilting mat and a very long, wide, clear, quilting ruler and its called "O'LIPFA Lip edge ruler" Model No. 11111 I got these tools at Walmart.<br /><br />First cut the edges straight. As you do this make sure to cut off any edges where some layers of fabric hang over others (this will happen as you sew it) and make sure to cut off any areas where the patterns may end (the white edges on a bolt of fabric where the patterns end may also have shifted and need to be cut off if you did not cut them off before you layered them).<br /><br />Once you have <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1236226264_7">straight edges</span> fold the blanket in half and make all side even so you have a rectangle blanket. You have to push down really hard to get all the layers to stay before you cut them.<br /><br />Then you bind the blanket. I use 2 1/4 inch binding. You can use whatever you like. Here is a link to a place that has great pictures on how to bind a quilt:<br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,255)">http://www.flickr.com/photos/quiltlady50/sets/72157603685607210/</span><br /><br />Here are some written directions also:<br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,255)">http://www.ehow.com/how_2074599_bind-quilt.html</span><br /><br />After binding, wash and dry the blanket once or twice. (Empty the lint trap in the dryer right away! It will be extremely full!)<br /></span><br /><br />I really like making these, but they take forever for me! I hope this made sense!Cierahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12272324881745718773noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828428915477803140.post-1081372992506550382009-01-23T12:42:00.002-07:002009-01-23T12:53:17.795-07:00Latest ProjectYesterday I finished the baby blanket I had been working on for this baby. Hooray!<br />I have made a couple of these for my sister, and sister in laws when they have had babies. When I started this one Ashelynn asked me if I would make her one. When she was born I didn't know how to make anything so she doesn't have a blanket like this. Since then with the help of my mom we have made her some other blankets just not one like this. I asked her what she would do with a baby blanket now and she said she would use it for her toys. I told her I would learn how to make a big normal quilt and make her one later. Hopefully I'll get to that this summer if this next baby is a good little one.<br />This blanket is a chenille blanket. If anyone is curious how I made it let me know and I will post the steps I took. One thing about this particular blanket is that when I chose the fabrics for the back side, you are never quite sure how it is going to look in the end. Once all the colors frayed it didn't quite match the front fabric like it used too. So I really like the front and I like the back, but I'm not so sure how well they go together! Oh well, its cute anyway! At least I think so!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAVSEUvIALosIl_yaUkvVCJTfMl7PyQbTc3wxq1nbYwBgv62u5Nz6YRJgXD3Od7pBVZI9uCQu_ehb3a1FFI0MFL9l18jl8NdBD3iBB3we8eR_I3CQ0uQM6r2J6neW5TbPfRkS0o-1MVOlA/s1600-h/100_4553.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAVSEUvIALosIl_yaUkvVCJTfMl7PyQbTc3wxq1nbYwBgv62u5Nz6YRJgXD3Od7pBVZI9uCQu_ehb3a1FFI0MFL9l18jl8NdBD3iBB3we8eR_I3CQ0uQM6r2J6neW5TbPfRkS0o-1MVOlA/s320/100_4553.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294577923089720530" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ55eth-4TodHBNwKv0tx2Fmm30HoWNfVUSaAZr-LomyZs94usglkQmkxPGpI-iLGWryV0RX-KIbhOKmdVGYNT8JAAuyqJVFHb_ntapK88MErB2EA43v8YuR26FXpe9EQanGg3wCSX7GC5/s1600-h/100_4554.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ55eth-4TodHBNwKv0tx2Fmm30HoWNfVUSaAZr-LomyZs94usglkQmkxPGpI-iLGWryV0RX-KIbhOKmdVGYNT8JAAuyqJVFHb_ntapK88MErB2EA43v8YuR26FXpe9EQanGg3wCSX7GC5/s320/100_4554.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294577925243947106" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrpqyn0wESJKt6obWYQ8XuLTjnydlPl31ofGyya8lU9JB0jSmcGqDHEdY_6xfFinHBXx4D2O98xT1q9urFga0T3rujhLBLXS9G3PSKHsf814eU-Ha6TxXt9HppNb2QyOEoCO14jZl-5kpA/s1600-h/100_4555.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrpqyn0wESJKt6obWYQ8XuLTjnydlPl31ofGyya8lU9JB0jSmcGqDHEdY_6xfFinHBXx4D2O98xT1q9urFga0T3rujhLBLXS9G3PSKHsf814eU-Ha6TxXt9HppNb2QyOEoCO14jZl-5kpA/s320/100_4555.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294577932542155602" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyIZ2HNbj48I8iWyFJybMqITXhKiZwWcws7RCJD-OhAJAKEswC0xpfbJYdS5utq9YZ-WcaPHTkCG8RPa8Qtc5jt0wXH3QlDztdbt-dPJht-X0rkvzwxJiYAi0kt1ZrOMmV2tjeNS9dxv6D/s1600-h/100_4556.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyIZ2HNbj48I8iWyFJybMqITXhKiZwWcws7RCJD-OhAJAKEswC0xpfbJYdS5utq9YZ-WcaPHTkCG8RPa8Qtc5jt0wXH3QlDztdbt-dPJht-X0rkvzwxJiYAi0kt1ZrOMmV2tjeNS9dxv6D/s320/100_4556.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294577936818804866" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguivgmJ206eRqdbA8I-fP0cd7mlNiCMaEa4vYtZoac-8_W8PzNr-IQoZkYRJ77pDAE3VGMUICkL-_RYCeMhNHjXzD7rnpPNyhXAgXVZpTt8EjKyEn_Z4z05b0SgGVucUeEnuB9IEXgOoUg/s1600-h/100_4557.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguivgmJ206eRqdbA8I-fP0cd7mlNiCMaEa4vYtZoac-8_W8PzNr-IQoZkYRJ77pDAE3VGMUICkL-_RYCeMhNHjXzD7rnpPNyhXAgXVZpTt8EjKyEn_Z4z05b0SgGVucUeEnuB9IEXgOoUg/s320/100_4557.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294577934918914386" border="0" /></a>Cierahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12272324881745718773noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828428915477803140.post-88489794260298195482009-01-19T14:21:00.003-07:002009-01-19T14:33:32.792-07:00SkiingLast weekend we went to UT. Ashelynn had Friday off of school and Bry had work off. The two of them went to Sundace on Friday to ski. My mom went with them to ski with Ashelynn after her first lessons and Blake went with Bryant. I wish I could have gone but skiing is not on the approved list for activities for pregnant women, so I went to a Dr.'s apt instead. After my apt. Bryson and I headed up to Sundance to watch Ashelynn ski for a little while. Bryson sobbed the minute he saw everyone skiing because he wanted to go so bad. He finally got too cold and stopped crying and enjoyed watching Ashelynn. We signed her up for group lessons. Since she was the youngest there and the only one who was skiing for the first time she ended up getting a private lesson for the cost of a group one (that saved us $170 dollars!). I think the one on one with the instructor really made a difference.<br /><br />I am one proud mom. She did awesome! She wanted to skii so fast she gave my mom some worry! Thanks for taking her mom!<br /><br />She picked it up really quickly and loved it! Bryant skiied with her too and took these videos on his phone. They are the first videos he had every taken on a phone and didn't hold the phone the right way, so you will probably have to tip your head to watch them. <br /><br />I know I will have trouble keeping up with her when I am able to go skiing again. The next morning she was begging to go back up on the mountain. She loved ridding on the lift also. Enjoy the videos!<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwiXVNjCMvCm1uOLEq9AgkoLHn1C_qjcx-nCYxbW_vLwa-U6U3RMCDPJMV4hea5POc-v4Z4pqegTPytXTyf0w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dz6aFXXma_B5zddwTSSoCKhIgjd6MNMaAzeTaFxQzfW_gLJoCmPp3nEqeg3TWtmyVqxMLzy5qoNvGffSaeCLw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Cierahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12272324881745718773noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828428915477803140.post-72707261735907760752009-01-09T22:01:00.011-07:002009-01-09T23:41:22.799-07:00The HolidaysI really go in spurts blogging. I do several posts at once and then go a long time without doing anything. B and I signed onto Facebook recently and I have spent a lot of time on that and have neglected this! I did find out that I can make my blog into a book. I think it was on Blurb.com<br />which is great because then this really can double as my family journal and I can make a hard copy of it.<br /><br />Well lets start with Thanksgiving. We spent the Holiday with my family in UT. It was a fun relaxing long weekend and we got to be there for my mom's birthday too. I had a few cousins that are in college stay at my parent's for the holiday also. My kids loved playing with them and they were great to entertain our little ones. Here of course are a few pictures!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_AQSnxrPRyc7-M-z8OYj4Kow4Q6_-hNE0DFSn2SpQwQ3PCNZ2M4tMkC62SmJ12wZ6dA8ZGjYV7QZzNf2szhvLnMVTV9S4WutFAUhHRItKLW1F1cO1diO9P-0mOzt0wwPimXGrLYAYfZsc/s1600-h/PB260076.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Delbert was 80 years old, had diabetes, and had a heart attack the night before in his sleep. It was tough news and Bryant had a bit of a hard day on Thanksgiving. We went to the funeral in Cokeville the next Monday.<br /><br />December was a busy month as it always is. A little less busy this year though because Ashelynn didn't dance in the Nutcracker. We were out of town the weekend of auditions and I was successful in keeping that on the DL until she found out another friend was in the show about 2 weeks before the preformances started. Then she was sad for a while, but was ok with it.<br />Bryson turned 3 and was very excited to have his own birthday party. We had it at the church so the kids would have a lot of room to run around. He loved the party and loved the presents. We played his favorites like Duck, Duck, Goose! and raced cars and had a pinata. It was a lot of fun. We were also excited that Cameron and Michelle's family could be at the party too. Jace was the favorite pick in Duck, Duck, Goose!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn3Rj5PZDRcbtJ8Ovo7Z_DYcGeNnOzNDc2OVLWp7SeO-AYccb3b2PHXtox5NUaWANZTM4rqE62OER10pqCyDeGTEh2k368flyYlqa7eihnTf6-vkrEXWzu_qJv2hBviGJI5EuONPmR0E18/s1600-h/100_4434.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

We even slept at their house most nights. We all partied for the week after Christmas. The kids had a great time and for the most part got along really well. Some funny moments were when Bryson came crying into the living room (where all the adults were at the time). I went up to him and asked him what was wrong. He said he needed, "Jace's dad" So I thought he was going to go cuddle with Cam to feel better from whatever was wrong. He climbs on his lap and hugs him and then he says to Cam, "You need to go get Jace and put him in time out." We all laughed and thought it was pretty funny that Bryson went straight to Cam. Ashelynn loved every minute she got to spend with her cousins. I think I hardly saw her the whole week because she was having so much fun with everyone.

Bryson got a fever that morning and it was 103.5. Even on medciation it was 101+. So I brought him home and Ashelynn stayed with her cousins, aunts and uncles, and granparents for the day. I tried to go back for the New Years Eve party at about 8pm so I would only have to put Bryson to sleep there. But we only lasted about an hour until his fever spiked again to 103.5, so we all came home. I let Ashleynn stay in my bed to watch the ball drop in NYC but we both fell asleep before it happened. Then I was up all night with Bryson either checking his temp and giving him more meds, or he woke up on his own. The next day he felt much better thankfully. Then Ashelynn got an ear infection the day school started and she is still on antibiotics.<br />Bryant had a very good friend from dental school get married that same night in San Fransico and I told him that he needed to go to that, so he wasn't here for all the fun. I'm glad he got to see his friend get married though. He felt bad that he was gone when he heard what was going on here. Why do my kids always get sick when he is gone?<br /><br />I think that is a pretty good quick recap of the last couple weeks. I am feeling pretty good still. I am really frusterated every time I try to get dressed though. I would like to get some nicer maternity clothes, but I don't want to spend the money because I don't have that much time left. My next apt is in a week. I am always excited to hear the heart beat and see the occasional ultrasound picture.<br /><br />Here are the latest cards from my card group I'm in. They are all so cute I had to show them all. The card I made I can't take all the credit for this time. Bryant helped me a lot. I had the idea to make a heart out of these dots and for the life of me I couldn't get it to look right. So I asked him to try. He did such I good job I begged him to make all the hearts, which he did.

He traveled 28 hours on the road to three different destinations. First was a hunt with his brother in Utah to help him get his elk, then a 5 day elk hunt in Wyoming which was unsuccessful of which he returned 1 week later and got his elk. He then went with Jeremy on a deer hunt. I'm just glad hes finally done!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis0iCihgzoS-YyiF7_xaYSo3HWC7f1PKa9lIlHv5TUNjxEvR93-A0ZKCbI1VhDLDOlTEwoV3XncNPo-ae05ejh2xmDPUn1cBpLOcoftLMOp7unY8CEgT2dJwhXoDty12XvicE9V7kpZml0/s1600-h/P1010041.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis0iCihgzoS-YyiF7_xaYSo3HWC7f1PKa9lIlHv5TUNjxEvR93-A0ZKCbI1VhDLDOlTEwoV3XncNPo-ae05ejh2xmDPUn1cBpLOcoftLMOp7unY8CEgT2dJwhXoDty12XvicE9V7kpZml0/s400/P1010041.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272250682356216274" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUDaPsTk8FKBQ3dzckdpuefnfUZHZvcPad6jvrnY2clWHCStii2AagHFdVn_lop35llmW2rlF5zTC8DzRJpytzAeLJAQxejkJaMetFXyPmNVBuupdCyLOiqpieQ6USdqXLwdtQXwOjfnGJ/s1600-h/P1010045.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUDaPsTk8FKBQ3dzckdpuefnfUZHZvcPad6jvrnY2clWHCStii2AagHFdVn_lop35llmW2rlF5zTC8DzRJpytzAeLJAQxejkJaMetFXyPmNVBuupdCyLOiqpieQ6USdqXLwdtQXwOjfnGJ/s400/P1010045.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272250690663110082" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUnMqaSGmVkmsncmK6AButD0TBTGPB-EgraC9Uc9oVXMnoALcSaw99n-wHssBYGsX-08uqfaeaLPW_vPc-LE9dvbPdSgMvgiAvOm1sgZg6xm5-EmIVmIs_d1laXYZtZnHgVNAVNptzKcjT/s1600-h/P1010048.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUnMqaSGmVkmsncmK6AButD0TBTGPB-EgraC9Uc9oVXMnoALcSaw99n-wHssBYGsX-08uqfaeaLPW_vPc-LE9dvbPdSgMvgiAvOm1sgZg6xm5-EmIVmIs_d1laXYZtZnHgVNAVNptzKcjT/s400/P1010048.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272250692463368818" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpHJyJeaxssETaqjvFi4T9TmIcd3Fat-6Yhj6K2s5-IuWgPeuWhKKTpBZcD50uajHaEnJki301hvOxKVt5vUWd4JZjwwqWxKis1zTGazIeIMiremg2UQ_y8bTWsZiNwIMuklqOJvI6xxB1/s1600-h/P1010055.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpHJyJeaxssETaqjvFi4T9TmIcd3Fat-6Yhj6K2s5-IuWgPeuWhKKTpBZcD50uajHaEnJki301hvOxKVt5vUWd4JZjwwqWxKis1zTGazIeIMiremg2UQ_y8bTWsZiNwIMuklqOJvI6xxB1/s400/P1010055.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272252149600313554" border="0" /></a>Cierahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12272324881745718773noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828428915477803140.post-73569313264263910282008-11-20T13:31:00.005-07:002008-11-20T13:50:30.452-07:00Private blog / Halloween PicturesI am going to make our blog private again. There are too many scary things I've seen on the news lately. So anyway, send me your email in the comment part of this blog so I make sure to invite you to view it. I know I don't have emails for a few of you and some of you may have updated yours. Please send them soon and don't forget to accept the invitation to view the blog when you get it! <br />Thanks!

Ashelynn loved being super girl and Bryson loved being a transformer. He didn't want to wear his mask at all other than for pictures until he saw his friend Ty. Ty was the same thing and was wearing his mask. When Bryson saw him he started crying and wouldn't move a step until he got his mask also, so we had to run back to the car to get it. It was funny. I also dressed Jazzie up as Snow White, much to Bryant's dismay. At our trunk-or-treat he passed out the candy and I walked around with the kids and the dog because he didn't want to be seen with our very cute dressed up dog. All the kids liked it though!<br />P.S. Don't tease him Aaron, or he'll never let me do it again! :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQeTrUTuL7l-euIiQjDGO9-XmnvedkD1ie_wYgRuwAf3JYIx9-8oybNWcZpmfiiyhTCDcJNU7p7JWaTwcAYcKgwKX7gfeVByxi8reTg2-xMbeC6CxKRWG_4T_YYqO_ViV5OZP7ZSCySilT/s1600-h/100_4347.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

The baby looked great on the ultrasound and was very active! We got a good look despite all the wiggling and its going to be a girl! We are excited! Bryant is worried because now we will have 2 girls that will grow up and want to date some day. Ashelynn is very happy to be getting a sister and Bryson is happy to, though he would be happy either way. A radiologist will read the ultrasound later, but the tech thought she looked great. We are thinking about finding a name that starts with "C" because we all ready have an "A" name followed by a "B" name. Now I need to get started on making a blanket for her before my belly gets too big and leaning over won't be an option anymore! I am a little nervous to have 3, but I still have several months before that comes.Cierahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12272324881745718773noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828428915477803140.post-27790109694713532842008-11-12T11:21:00.003-07:002008-11-12T11:29:08.310-07:00MemoriesI was cleaning off my desk today because there was so much stuff on it I couldn't see the desk itself. I found this picture from Feb. of 2005. I don't know why it was on my desk or how it got there. Its of Ashelynn and 2 of her good friends from Omaha finger painting with fruit in pudding. Gracey is the blonde at the back of the table and then Ashelynn on the side and Emma closest to the front. We used to do a babysitting swap and these 3 got to play together a lot.

We are having the hardest time thinking of names this time. Once we know the gender we could use all the ideas we can get! So feel free to leave any suggestions. Ashelynn started by suggesting all the names from the "Little Mermaid." Most of her suggestions are girl names of course. Bryson will occasionally lift up my shirt and say he wants to see the baby. The first time he did he stared at my stomach until I pulled my shirt back down. Then he said, "Wait mom, I want to see the eye again." It took me a minute to realize he thought my belly button was the baby's eye! It was no wonder he looked so confused! Then he tells me he has boy babies in his tummy. 2 year olds say the funniest things! <br />I got an email from my sister-in-law Michelle recently. She told me her 5 year old girl has been praying for my baby to be really pretty and to be a girl. I thought that was so cute.<br />We'll have the final verdict soon! I can't wait!Cierahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12272324881745718773noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828428915477803140.post-47807680008453991482008-10-29T14:46:00.003-06:002008-10-29T14:58:32.131-06:00The Tagging continues!<img style="visibility: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.2NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEyMjMxNTg4MTUwMDkmcHQ9MTIyMzE1ODgyMDI1MiZwPTM5MDEmZD1mbGFzaHRveXMmbj*mZz*xJnQ9Jm89MWFlZGY4M2UyYTNiNDNiN2JmZDllNWI1NzZjZGE1YTE=.gif" border="0" height="0" width="0" /> <span class="widget-item-control"> <span class="item-control blog-admin"> <a class="quickedit" href="rearrange?blogID=8094047335248879639&widgetType=HTML&widgetId=HTML1&action=editWidget" onclick="'return" target="configHTML1" title="Edit"> </a></span></span><a name="959800490268686484"></a> <h3 class="post-title"> <span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 100%; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"></span><br /></h3><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 100%; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"></span>Whitnee tagged me, so here goes! i hope I can think of 8 things per list!<br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 100%; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">8 TV shows I like to watch</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 100%; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">1.
