pioneer woman

the only people who will care about this are my mom and Geri. I could blog about my tying my shoes and Geri would be thrilled.
My dad and my sister, Emma, are going on a pioneer trek in a couple of weeks and my mom sent me a bonnet pattern and this cute fabric to make a hat for her. Thanks for cutting the pieces out, mom!! That is my least favorite part of sewing. Without further adieu:
 I am obviously not good at silly faces.




One project down. We're leaving for CA on Tuesday! Hooray!!

phone pics

This is has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week. Michael left us on Monday and then we immediately all got sick. I've had a cold and the girls have had some kind of stomach bug. They've been puking and diarrhea-ing (too much information?) and I've changed the sheets on our bed at least twice a day. I've also cleaned lots of carpet and given lots of baths. I probably don't need to tell you that I haven't taken very many pictures this week. Trust me, you don't want me to document what's gone on at out house. Instead, here are some recent and not so recent phone pictures. If you are my mom or Michael or Geri you've seen them all. Sorry.

  I would heart my body too if it looked like this! jk, seriously, I do heart my body. It's done some pretty rad things. Like given birth to the 3 most beautiful perfect angel girls.



 Speaking of angel girls!! Check her out! We were able to jump on the tramp for a few minutes today. It was the first time we'd played outside in days!


 Through the chaos I have managed to water the garden almost every day. Here is our very first tiny one inch squash plant! yessss! there is hope for our sad garden.


This is from like two months ago. It's Kaylee's signature look. I call it her happy crack. Michael's not fond of that expression. He thinks it's inappropriate.



These pictures are all of Kaylee! We received a couple of bags of hand-me-downs (our fav!) and Kaylee decided to rummage through them and dress herself. Here she is wearing a size 6-9 month RAIDERS outfit. She looked even cooler in person.



For the record, no day or week in my life could really be terrible, horrible, no good, and very bad. I have to say that with the trials I have experienced I have not forgotten to count my blessings. I am blessed every single day of my life! Every hour and every minute. It would be sad and unfortunate if I refused to remember all I have to be grateful for. I am such a lucky and blessed girl! Today my grandpa told me that our trials give us character. Bring it on.

cute mcdonalds girls

So yesterday I promised the girls we'd have dinner at mcD's. THEN I found leftover pancakes in the fridge and we decided to go to McDonald's for dessert. Just so you know, ice cream is completely unappetizing and rather unnecessary after a meal of pancakes and syrup. I had to force myself to finish Riley's. Tonight we are having "buh-sketti". I can't wait. Healthy(er) and soooo yummy.
oh, and I just realized that I have 300 phone pictures that I've been sending to me email account over the last five years. I can't leave them sitting there so expect to be seeing quite a few blog updates in the upcoming weeks.

kitties and cuties








This weekend we went to visit Michael's aunt and uncle in Oakley, ID. While we were there the girls got to play with the cuuutest little kittens. Kaylee was in heaven. She is my animal loving girl!!
