Our Little Girls!!

I was going through our pictures and just realized how much our little girls looked so much alike! I know they have there differences, but they sure do look similar don't they? I just have to say, I was petrified of having girls, I didn't know what to expect and I could only think of the dramatic little fits when I found out we were expecting our little Chanel, but it has been so fun! They bring so much joy to my life! Jameson is still my little man, he is and always will be a "Mommas boy" but seeing him with his sisters is amazing, having girls is a whole new world for me! I have all brothers and I still wonder what I got myself into?! We didn't find out what we were having while I was pregnant with Rori Ana (best thing I have ever done!) And when she came out and they yelled out "Its a... little girl!" I started bawling! I absolutely LOVE my baby girls! I couldn't imagine my life without them! Just wanted to show of my princesses!
Chanel Is the one with a beenie on.

Jameson... Jameson... Jameson...

James has quite the imagination. Today he was playing "dogs" with all of the dogs, well I looked over and he had his face in Tweeder's butt and was sniffing! I yelled at him and asked him what he was doing??!! He told me he was playing dogs and that is what dogs do! I told him no more sniffing butts, that it was gross and we cannot play dogs like that! He just started laughing! So I pulled out the video camera and asked him about it, he was so detailed talking to the camera telling me that is what dogs do and he wasn't being Jameson he was being a dog! Later that night we went out to the hot tub (soooo nice) and he had two cups he put them both in the water upside down so that when he flipped them over two big bubbles would pop up out of the water, about the second time he did it he said "Mom these look just like your things!" What things I asked him (dumb question) "Your boobies!" I just told him not to be inappropriate and dropped it. I didn't want to pay to much attention because whenever I do it back fires and he does whatever it is even worse. He is such a weirdo! Creep more like it! I'm not ready for all this!

Nothing New Here...

I guess no news is good news! We haven't done much so I haven't posted in a while. I told you we would get pretty boring when it got cold. I have pretty much been hiding out in my house trying to keep warm but Rory says I'm killing him slowly with heat so now he is running around half naked (not to bad to look at) and I am bundled up with PJ's and this crazy adult size sleep sack like the ones you put babies in when they are itty bitty. Except I'm not itty bitty so I look a really ridiculous!! Thanks Julie for getting me that, I love it!! I guess there are a few things I can tell you... We went up to Lava Hot Springs, Idaho last weekend aaahhhh... It was awesome! We did absolutely nothing at all. Our friends have a really nice "cabin" more like a HUGE house up there so we just hung out with them and watched movies while all of our kids ran around like little maniacs! Then when we got back, Lola, our little 3 pound Yorkie was in heat, so I found her a little boyfriend... more like a one night stand!! I felt awful!!! I took her to some house she had never been to and out came this little tiny not quite 3 pound "stud" he loved her!! And then we just left her there to do what it is that they do! And THEN I paid them!! UUUGGGHHH! I feel so bad, so I have been giving her extra treats and love for the terrible things I have done to her. But in about 9 weeks depending on whether she took or not we should have no more than 3 teeeny tiiiny iiiitty biiiity puppies!!!!! Probably weighing in at 1-2 ounces!! This should be fun! I absolutely LOVE puppies! How could you not? And then a couple of days ago Rory came home with our new bed! He made it and it looks really nice only one little problem... It wouldn't fit through the front door!! He thought our doors were 7 ft. tall, they aren't. They are 6 ft. 8 in. and the bed was enormous so after leaving it out on our front porch for a night he had to bring home his saw and cut about 8 or 9 inches off just to get it through the door! It looks great!! Now I just need to find a nice new bed set!! Yeah, shopping!!!


Love at first sight?

Lola is the one one the right.

I will get a better picture of the final product!

Might be a little useful

Some of you may have already seen this but for those of you who have not, it may be a little useful to you. The state of Utah is offering a service that would let you know when a sex offender moves into your neighborhood. They will just send it to you by email including their name, address and a map showing you exactly where it is and what they were convicted of (don't worry they don't go into any detail or anything). All you have to do is go to http://corrections.utah.gov/ and scroll down to where it says SONAR (Sex Offender Notification and Registration) and register! That's it! You can never be too careful!

Vicks can be used for all sorts of things!

The kids and I have had a little bit of a cold lately and I absolutely LOVE Vick's! So whenever I have a reason to use it I do! Well... I guess Chanel loves it too. I walked into my room today and Chanel had the Vick's and rubbed it ALL OVER Rori Ana's head!!! It was everywhere! And Rori was just giggling away. I felt so bad, she was all greasy and oily and I cant get it out! I haven't tried anything harsher than baby shampoo but it didn't even touch it. But on the bright side this works great as a palmade, or some kind of crazy gel! Just look at Chanel's masterpiece created on Rori's head!

CuTE LitTle BuGgeRs!!

Trick or Treat!!

Halloween was a lot of fun! After we got done with Rory's whole deal, we rushed back to get Jameson to school. It was his Halloween party and he had been looking forward to it all week! He was IRONMAN!!! He felt so cool in his outfit, especially because it made his already huge muscles even bigger! Here is a picture of him and his whole little class! I love that all the boys are super hero's and all the girls are princesses!!







Here are the kids right before we went trick or treating! I barely got them to sit still enough to take this!! They wanted to go right away! This year Rory did a little spook ally in our garage which I thought was really neat because he used to always tell me about the one he would do with his brother JR and his dad. It was neat to see him get so into it! My camera wouldn't take pictures, it was too dark. Dangit!












Jameson and Chanel had a lot of fun playing with parts of mommy's costume!!












































Here is my neighbor Gina and her baby Kenyon and my baby Rori! Rori Ana didn't last long, she wanted to be carried the whole time!! Too tiring!







Rory's Quest!

Well... He did it! He didn't make 35 miles but, he gave it his best shot! As against this whole thing as I was, I was so very proud of Rory for trying! There are a lot of people (like myself) that are always saying "you know what would be cool..." or "you know what I would like to do..." and never do it, but Rory always says "So I'm going to....". When I hear those words out of his mouth I know unless I really throw an enormous fit he is going to do whatever it is he just told me, once he has his mind set on something it will be done. Anyway, I was so proud of him that he tried his hardest and was so positive through out the whole thing. Now... to the story. We got to the launch ramp at Utah Lake around 10 am Friday morning and the film crew was running really late so Rory was having more and more time to think about what he was about to do and he was getting so antsy! Then all these people starting showing up, all his friends, family, even our neighbors came! He had a pretty big audience! I asked him if he was okay and he said he could feel the pressure. Then the film crew got there and after about an hour of interview he was finally ready! We were all going crazy with anticipation! He started the machine and decided it would be best if he just jumped right off the dock into the water. It wasn't until I heard the engine turn that it hit me that I was probably about to see my husband get smaller and smaller until he disappeared into Utah Lake on a SNOWMOBILE! He started going and by the time he hit the water he was going at least 20 mph! Remember you have to be going at least 15 mph or it sinks. Everyone started to scream and holler! It was all so exciting! I think I was even jumping up and down! There were 2 boats, a few cars and one airplane all following him! Then... we all heard the engine sputtering and shut off completely. It sank almost immediately! I just disappeared into the water, luckily Rory didn't. He was probably only in the water for a total of 1 minute, but it was the most exciting minute ever!!! He had tied a booey to the snowmobile so that if it did sink they would be able to find it and so they pulled it out, which took about 100 times longer than it did to get the dang thing in the water in the first place. I thought for sure when he got back to shore he would be so disappointed, but instead he was so happy! He had so much fun with all the hype and actually riding it out there and seeing for himself that it can actually be done! He handled it all so well. I think I would have been totally pouting and upset that it didn't work but he was the exact opposite. I was so so so proud of him, and so was everyone else! We were all just amazed that he thought this crazy little idea up in the first place, and did what he had to do to make it happen. So, no he didn't go the 35 miles he had hoped for, he probably only went about a quarter of a mile but, he did do it! I thought after all this was over, it would be out of his system.... Silly me. Now, he says he just needs a better machine! The one he used was given to him, so it wasn't in the best shape which is why he sank in the first place. So, now all he needs is a bigger, better and faster machine???!! Once he gets a taste of something he doesn't stop until he is full. Crazy, crazy, crazy...


To the right is a video of Rory, its not the greatest but we havent gotten the one back from Godfrey's films. Im not sure why there are 2 other videos, but I couldnt figure out how to make it just one video, you have to click on the one on top.
