Pregnant lady throwing a tantrum;-)

Okay, so yesterday 12/19, the girls had their Holiday parties and I was in charge of getting the pizza. Anyway, I decided to order it from Domino's. So I had two orders paid for and ready to be delivered at 2:20 and at 3:20. Easy order for both of them: 1st, 2 Cheese pizza's and 2 pepperoni, and 2nd 3 cheese and 3 pepperoni. So the first order comes and when we went to go feed the kids, we see there is NO CHEESE on either pizza. If there was any, it had dissolved into the very, very thin layer of sauce. So, being the hormonal freak that I am, I call them immediately to let them know that there is no cheese on our pizza's. I tell the guy that they better make sure they put cheese on our next order or I will ask for my money back. So 3:20 rolls around and I make the delivery guy wait as I check the pizzas and low and behold, NO CHEESE. Now I am raging with ridiculous amounts of hormones. I proceed to show the delivery man that there is no cheese on my pizzas. He tells me, I don't make the pizzas, I just deliver them. AHHH. So I ask him if he has a direct number for the locations (you now have to go through an automative questioneer to get to the location that you want, which just annoys me even more) Anyway he says that he does, but his phone is in the car, which he was not going to go and get. So I proceed again to call the location and finally get to the manager, who tells me, no insists that there is cheese on my pizza. I insist there is not and that the delivery guy is standing there looking and agreeing, see that I am not to be messed with, then the manager says that he is running out of cheese. RUNNING OUT OF CHEESE??? Are you serious? I tell him this is not my problem, that I paid for a product and you did not meet the products expectations. The conversation ended with me saying, Fine, I will take pictures and contact corporate. He seemed to not be bothered by that comment. So we used Anna's teachers camera and took pictures of the pizzas. I don't have them yet, but when I get them I will post them. It is of my opinion, that when you fork out $70.00 in pizza that you should get $70.00 worth, not $10.00 worth.

This is what the pizza should have looked like!

Time is flying by

I am amazed that Christmas is a week away. I am excited that school will be done for two weeks starting this Friday (YEAAAAH)!
Here are some quick updates: I had a birthday party for Amanda (her first one;-/) I know, how could that be, but when your birthday is in December, I think you get the short end of the stick. Anyway, it was last Wednesday, and I am glad she had fun and finally had the experience of a birthday party!!
Another update is that we helped plan our ward Christmas party and it was on the 13th. I am SO happy it is over and done with. No more waking up in the middle of the night with racing thoughts of "did we cover everything?". I slept like a baby Saturday night;-)
I think that is it, so enjoy the picture of Amanda's birthday party!

The girls started out making their own crowns
Then they made necklaces and ate tea sandwiches with "tea" chocolate milk
My disaster with the cake. So I kept going back and forth with the thought, should I make it or just buy one. While I was trying to decide over a couple of days, I had put the cake part in the freezer. Anyway, I decided to make it, but waited too long to pull it out of the freezer ( who would've thought that it would take more than three hours to defrost) Anyway, when I was done frosting the half frozen cake, I couldn't get the barbie in (another thing, you are suppose to buy a barbie that has a peg for a body, not a full figured one, I was too lazy to go to a special store and get one) SOOO I got a knife and tried to make a hole for the full figured barbie to fit in. I thought it had worked, but as the girls were making their necklaces, I see movement in the corner of my eye and it was the barbie cake cracking. The girls and I were laughing SO hard
Then I got a kabob stick and skewered her back together;-)
They still ate it and that's all that matters!

Oh Baby, were having a ............

Okay first of all, I feel SO blessed to have gotten this wonderful ultrasound from a lady in our ward. She is so kind to me and our family. Secondly, it had to have been one of the coolest ultrasounds I have ever had. Her equipment was so amazing! She got the baby smiling....SMILING:-) (second picture) I loved every moment of it. It makes me feel kind of like a jerk though, being that I wasn't that excited at first to be having this precious gift. Motherhood is seriously such a blessing to me. It has helped me grow in SO many ways, and hope to continue to help be a better woman and person throughout my life. I feel SO grateful to my husband that he has given me the greatest gifts of all, and that to me is motherhoood and being a wife. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the VERY detailed ultrasound pictures as much as I do....Oh and don't worry, the baby doesn't have tumors (just in case you thought what I did when I was looking at the head) The sister told me it is just tissue.

Did you notice how "Angelina Jolie" the babies lips are???? I think the baby looks SO much like Amanda/ Barlow baby, you be the judge. I can just kiss those cheeks now:-)Thanks for hanging in there and looking at the cool pictures! WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER GIRLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH! I am actually REALLY excited! No T-Pee cups for me. (It's some contraption that you put over the boy part so they don't pee all over you) I do feel REALLY bad for Jonathan though. He says he doesn't care and that he is excited, but I can only imagine his dissappointment:-( Another girls to wrap there little heart around their daddies finger:-) I am sure that will make everything all better:-) Anyway, hope everyones, day/ week goes great!!!!

I wish I was actually cleaning poop!

I thought I would never say this.....EVER, but I think I would actually rather be cleaning up poop than NAIL POLISH! Yep, you heard me nail polish. Tonight while our Home Teacher was at our home, Mag Pie decided to throw Anna's nail polish to her from the upstairs playroom. You might be asking some questions, like," how did she get?", or "Why don't you have it locked up so little children won't make messes with it?", Well, my answer back is, we think she climbed up and got it from the top shelf somehow, OR a sister got, who won't admit....arrrgh. Anyway, it was all in slow mo for me. I instantly saw her with it and said to Megan please get it from her in which there was no response, then Mag Pie was saying to Anna, (whose nail polish it is), here Nana, then she threw it thinking someone was going to catch it, instead shattered in the front entry way in every direction. our Home teacher was so nice and tried to help for a half an hour, but with little success. We said thanks for his help and told him his wife probably has their dinner ready for them and that he should get home. I am sure he was relieved. Jonathan said after he left that we should've taken a picture for the blog, which I am sure I could go down there and still get a good picture of the damage, but am too pooped out from being on my knees for the past two hours:-( We still don't have it all cleaned up. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get nail polish out of Fake wood floors, please send them my way! Hope everyone else's Sunday's were relaxing, cause I think we worked enough for all of you:-) J/k Tomorrows a new day right!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

I don't know about the rest of you, but October has flown by! I think it has flown by because we have been SO Stinkn' busy! Between school obligations, church obligations and just plain life, I am pooped out! I have SO much to post about don't even know where to start, so let me think about this......ok we will start with the Trunk or treat party that we helped plan!Amanda and a friend of hers! She was a cat!Mag pie with her cuteness as an elephant:)

We seriously put this "princess Leah" outfit together in 20 minutes! She wanted to be her SO bad! I think she makes a really cute princess!Anna has been really into greek mythology, I don't know why, but she is. Anyway, she wanted to be Aphrodite, the goddess of love. nice, huh! She didn't understand why no one knew who she was:-) I was to nice to tell her that I wouldn't have known what she was, if she wouldn't have told me:-)

Our good friend and her daughter, who came to have some fun with us!

WE HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD ON OUR HANDS

This past month has been a real eye opener to have a "normal" two year old. I don't say this to gloat that I haven't had this, but I haven't. None of my other children had ever gotten into stuff the way that Maggie does! I felt like I was on the edge this past month. The pictures will say it for me!



This is the beginning of the lotionI am sure you are wondering why I haven't taken it away by now, but honestly I think this probably was the third mess of the day, on this particular day and I was thinking, "REALLY, another mess!". So I observed and thought I was going to post about it that day, but it is now 3 weeks later and oh well! Here are some more or her "deeds".


She had done this on her birthday right before daddy got home. She had poured a lot of it in the basket of dirty clothes. Do you think she was trying to tell me something??
She is trying to redeem herself with her cuteness, she was really trying so hard to clean it up, it was cute!A couple other of her "deeds" are one, if there is a stool handy, she will put it up to the fridge and let as much water and ice out. I now make sure all of the stools or any other climbing vehicles are out of sight! Second, is she has played in the toilet, another new thing for me. You would think that after the third time, she would get that it is gross and wrong, but nope, not her! Luckily she has not done that one since the beginning of October, phew! Well I really shouldn't complain, cause like I said above, this is the first of four that has been a handful this way! I'll cross my fingers that it is the only.


Nothing like making some yummy cinnamon rolls, to make a two year olds "deeds" be forgotten!So I was craving cinnamon rolls so bad for about two weeks. Maybe it was because deep down I wanted it to be baking season and COLD, so I attempted to make myself feel this way by making these treats! Unfortunately my taste buds have been messed with, with this pregnancy! This has been my biggest pet peive so far. I have never had this before! Oh well, everyone enjoyed them, except me:-( (boo, hoo, poor me) Amanda helping!Rolling,fresh out of the oven,
and wah, lah!!!


MAGGIE'S 2nd BIRTHDAY!!!!!!


She had cheesecake for her first birthday celebration, on her birthday!She loved it! You can see below when we were singing "Happy Birthday", that she was so excited. I loved how she was so into it!

Here we are celebrating a second time on Sunday with my dad and his wife. You can't celebrate too much, especially when they are little!

You'll see in the next video that she knew what to do! She was just as excited as she was the first time! So stinking cute:-)

We had a lot of fun this month and hopefully the next couple of months will fly by just as fast! Life is crazy, but you gotta love the chance to be alive and to be able to try over and over again!

Aaaaahhhhh Who cares........

Okay I have been debating over and over about posting this, but really who cares. It really only means that I will be pregnant F-O-R-E-V-E-R, or what may seen like forever to every one around me. We are almost 11 weeks and excited that there is only "uno" in the oven! We had a little scare, when the mid-wife said I was measuring a month more than I should be, so she ordered an ultra sound! For a week I had the most awful dreams about multiples. But, thankfully, this past Wednesday, the tech confirmed there was only one....sigh of relief:) To be honest, when I first found out that we were pregnant, I wanted to crawl in a hole....I know this might sound weird, but people, I already feel overwhelmed with the ones I've got. Don't get me wrong, I really feel blessed that my girls are great, but it is me I am worried about and if Iwill be able to handle all the stresses of one more child. I know Heavenly Father will help me get through this and guide me, it still is scary though. I do have to say that the ultra sound was neat! We have never had one so early. It was fun to see the little alien baby floating around with the little nubs for arms and feet. My hubby was impressing the ultra sound tech, cause I kept asking, "is that the head?" and the hubby would say ,"No, it's right here". She kept saying how neat that was that he could read the ultra sound. Anyway, here are a couple of pictures of the baby!! See if you can see where the head is!

It's not to late!

Jeremiah was a Bull Frog....Dadada...And a good friend of mine...Dadada

Well our good friend Jeremiah came to visit us here in Arizona this past Friday evening. It was a short visit, but was filled with excitement, laughs, and screams! Here see for yourselves!

Here's Maggie trying to help daddy get Jeremiah to not be so shy. Jeremiah decided to hide behind some tables in the garage.

Here's Jeremiah being Shy!
Here's Jonathan freaking out over touching a bull frog. I am sorry, but it was REALLY funny to see a grown man be so grossed out over touching a frog:)
Maggie felt it necessary to get into my make-up (what little I have) and look her best for our guest. As you can see she wasn't sure if she was in trouble or not.She realizes she can show off the make-up job! Way to go Maggie, you look FABULOUS!!

***Just a side note: I am SO naive, I didn't realize frogs would live here in the city, let alone in 100 degree weather. I thought they needed water to survive, and if I'm not mistaken I haven't seen any puddles around here lately? I am confused so if anyone is an expert on frogs, please explain, thanks!

I am in HEAVEN!!!!!!!!

I am SO incredibly happy! I LOVE to can or bottle as the old timers say. Anyway, our relief society president contacted me a couple of weeks ago, to see if I wanted to organize getting fruit for our ward. She had a name, so really all I needed to do was see who wanted it and order it for them. Anyway, the fruit arrived Wednesday 9/3 and I have been in heaven ever since. I canned raspberry jam and blackberry jam first, then I did tomatoes. I ate a half a box of peaches and will enjoy another half this week too. I would have canned peaches this year, but I still have over 60 qts, left from two years ago:/ The blackberries were SO juicy and sweet. Even the raspberries were sweet too. I love fresh anything! I am that commercial, "miss fresh-i-fresh", to a T. I believe I have even gotten into a verbal disagreement before with the produce people at wal-mart before in regards to their produce not being fresh. Anyway, here are a couple , I mean a lot, of pictures displaying my "heaven". Man, one might think I am a little obsessive about canning!?
