Our house is for sale!

This picture was taken Nov. 26th 2003. We had just got our keys to move in. I remember how excited I as. This has been a really nice house for us we LOVE the area and ward. B.J. and I know it is not a Sellers market but we are not in a hurry to sell. With the new home buyer incentive for 8,000 the government is offering and the fact that our house will not be a short sale we are anxious to see if anyone is interested. We do not know where we will go in fact we are not even looking for a house until ours sells. If we do sell it we will take our time and rent for a few months and shop around. Kinda fun, kinda sad. There isn't alot of attachment to this home it has been nice, but B.J. and I will be looking for a single level, 3car garage, with a bigger lot. The prices right now are RE-DIC-ULOUS. We are excited to see what happens.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALLAS!

How much do I love this boy? B.J. and I have said that its a damn good thing we got Major first and Dallas second cause we would have one child if Dallas was our first. He is a handful and in some ways I love his strong personality and spunkiness, but in other ways I am just flat out worn out period. Dallas was born about a week and a half early and has been so much fun to have in our family. He has his own agenda and is not afraid to tell ya. On the other and he is so sweet and will come over and cuddle you and gives the biggest kisses and he shares his food and toys with everyone he can. I love my boys soooo..... much and hope and pray daily that they stay this sweet. Happy Birthday Dally-Dog!

Our summer goals and fun times!

This summer B.J. and I had a couple things we were excited to get accomplished. #1 we wanted to get Major completely potty trained. He has been peeing in the potty for awhile but #2 was a little bit trickier for him. I bribed him like crazy but he wasn't haven it until about 2 months ago. Finally he got the hang of it and once he did it a couple of times it was way fast and now he is doing awesome. #2 B.J. and I were hell bent on Major swimming without our help all the time. He is a little fish and swims awesome. Dallas on the other hand has has no respect for the water and if we don't keep our eyes on him every single second it is scary. #3 we wanted to have a fun birthday for him he turned 4 on Aug. 4th we had a Transformer party he loved it. For the last thing #4 we wanted to get him ready for preschool. School started on aug 10th and Major loved it! It makes me so happy to se him happy and learning so much. Dallas is turning 2 on aug. 27th and it is soooo... crazy that I had him 2 years ago. He is either screaming cause he is happy, or wants something or pissed off about something the kid does not talk he screams for anything and everything. There are days I literally want to put in ear plugs cause I get a headache from his communication skills. I wish he would just talk. He understands if we ask him to do simple directions, but other than that he is just a screecher. I would take 10 of him if the lord would give me that. I am so blessed to have the kids I do and husband I do. I love them so much.

Fun pictures of the summer!

Dallas and Major in a police car!

I sure hope that this a one time thing and I never have to see my baby in the back of a police car when he is older. Dallas is definitely my strong, independent, fearless, crazy, tough boy. He is at the stage where he wants to feed himself and so he grabs the utensil out of my hand and flicks applesauce all over the place and when I tell him to "Let mommy help you!" He pretty much tells me to "SCREW OFF" in baby talk. Screaming, thrashing and shaking his head uncontrollably. Along with his FIESTYNESS comes the sweetest, happiest, lovable, little cuddler in the whole world. I LOVE being a mom. These pictures were taking at the beach, we had a family friend that came and showed all the boys his police car. Lights, siren and all. You should have seen their faces!
