Moved in....kinda

So, we are in the new house now(it looks much better than this...now:) We still have stuff at the old house that I will have to keep going and getting but at least it's livable here:) We owe a very big THANK YOU to the ward missionaries, Meili and Michelle and the Yamamoto's. We were very thankful for all of your help and could not have done it with out ya!

The first thing that I have noticed about living here is how alone(not in a sad way,just weird way) it feel we are so used to having the majority of our family as neighbors. My day's so far have consisted of somewhere between 50 and 100 trips up and down the stairs, mostly just to pick up all the toys that Austin won't stop throwing down the stairs. Kids!! LOL!!

We pretty much spend most of our time up stairs, that's where the playroom is and I really like it that way for a couple reasons downstairs is clean almost all the time!! I am sure for you who know me wont believe it until you have seen it;) I also like it because I am no where near the kitchen, ha ha! That has really helped with my dieting, which by the way I now lost a whopping 76lbs!!!!! I still can't believe it :)..

Moving....

For those of you that don't know, we are moving. We found a much more affordable house about 7 miles up the road from here. Ryan would like to be moved in by the first week in March but we will see what happens :} So far the front room is packed up and ready to go. I will be sad to leave this neighborhood and ward but I am also looking forward to less financial stress upon my hubby's back and tons more room in the new house.

I wanted to make sure I fit in the tub at the new house...LOL!! I guess so did my kids :)

10 Silly or weird things about myself

I was tagged and so I have to write a blog with 10 silly facts or goals about myself.

1. I only like Ice cold milk, so...I put ice in my milk but then have to drink it realy fast before the ice melts in it

2. I am still very afraid of monsters,ghosts, anything that could hide under my bed at night! Sometimes when I get up to check on my kids and go to get in my bed I have to run and jump so nothing from under the bed can get me! I know thats realy lame for a 25yr old with kids but it's the truth.

3. I hate birds, their sharp beeks and toenails and I dont like the fact that they fly either. ( Sorry Julie Ann)

4. I did not get my drivers liscense until I was about 21 yrs old. About a month after I got it my husband was in a motorcycle accident and couldnt drive for a long time.

5. I went to beauty school and graduated, just never went on to get my liscense.

6. 4 out of my 5 siblings in my family were adopted, and all 5 of us are musically talented.

7. I sing all the time, to my kids ,in the car, shower, everywhere ( but in puplic:)

8. I used to be very outgoing but I think my hubby's shyness has rubbed off on me over the years

9. My husband and I are exactly 2 months apart to the day. His is May 24th and mine July 24th

10. I love baked potatoes with sour cream and catsup on it (everyone I know says thats gross) and I love everything about pie except for the crust :)

A Bad Day

This morning I drove down Ocotillo(where they are repairing the roads) to pick up my nephew so I could watch him for the day. When I got there to pick him up I saw this, sticky tar or something and a flat tire( the tire was much flatter than pictured) I had some errands to run mainly ones with drive-thrus so we had planned to go into town(yea, me and 3 kids) We met Ryan for lunch and then ran one more errand. We were headed home when I recieved this

Thats right, my first speeding ticket! Its not just your average speeding ticket either, I was speeding in a school zone....I didn't even realize I was in one either. I guess I was just so focused on 3 screaming kids and making it home without a blowout that I didn't notice. What a day and its not even close to being over .

Happy Birthday Little Girl!!

Today is Brooklyn's 4th birthday!! I can't believe how much she is growing and changing :). Brooklyn,

Mommy and Daddy love you soooo much and we are so blessed that you belong with us. You make us laugh and you spoil us rotten with your big loving heart. You have taught us so much in the past few years! Thank you for all the help you give Mommy around the house, helping to look after your little brother and helping me with my hair and pretties every morning! I wouldn't look as good if I didn't have you ;). Mommy, Daddy and Austin all love you so much and hope you have a Wonderful day!

OH NO!!!!!!

Well, Brooklyns birthday party is supposed to be on Monday and this is what I discovered this morning......CHICKENPOX!!!!!!!! This picture is Austin but I know Brooklyn will have it sooner than later. Despite the saddening news to Brooky that we have to cancel her party she was a very good sport,in fact I was more upset about it than she was. At least they are getting it over with now...I have heard how much worse it is to have it when your older.

BOGO at the Fullers.....just kidding

This is embarrassing and funny. I cleaned out our closet the other morning, and this is what I found!! I don't know how we collected so many shoes!! Especially considering that I only wear 3 specific pairs through the year :) Flip flops, Etnes and church shoes. Same with Ryan but he had a hard time parting with all his shoes so they ended back in the closet.
