I AM TWI-TARDED!

2010-06-30T02:44:00.000-07:00

So, I get a message from my friend saying that she had one extra ticket to the mid-night showing of Eclipse and wondered if I wanted it. I hesitated and was going to tell her no because I had already made plans to go with my family in a week, but the greedy, selfish part of me took over and I gave in and bought the ticket from her. Besides, who wouldn't want to be there opening night with all of the crazy die-hards?? LOL So we get to the theater and after about 10 minutes of pushing our way through estrogen dominant women we make it to our seats. The previews start and everything is going just great! That is until the movie gets shut off. It was really funny to hear all of the women in the theater start yelling and freaking out. A few seconds after the manager comes walking in. He asks if everyone is excited to see Eclipse tonight. To no surprise the room erupts. Then He goes on to say that He has a special guest with him, and in walks the guy who plays Demetri. Yea, we all started screaming like we were 13 again! It was great! Then after the movie was over (It was AMAZING!! BY FAR the best) I stood in line and was able to get a personalized autograph and my picture with him. It was the best night of my life, and I am that much more excited to see it again with my family! Team Jacob because he's hot and Team Edward because he is the perfect man. LOL

My Baby is 2!!!!!

2010-05-29T09:28:00.000-07:00

After the party I undressed taylor so he could get in the bath and turned my head for 1 minute and he as gone. I looked everywhere for him but eventually found him, naked, in my laundry basket of socks.
Grandpa Larry and Kaylee.

The frosting was too soft so my "trees" kept falling down. Doh!

Taylor is growing up sooo fast! I love that kids to pieces! He has THE BEST personality and will, one day, be the best husband and father! He is obsessed with Thomas the Train, so I bet you can guess what his birthday theme was. And I tried my very hardest to make him a cake, but it seriously struggled. It did taste really really good though. It was a chocolate cake with mint buttercream frosting. ;) Love you Tay man!

Taylors Newly Renovated Room

2010-05-27T20:51:00.000-07:00

So, Taylor is in a big big boy bed and I had to buy a quilt for it. I ended up buying one from pottery barn (that place is evil) and I plead the 5th on the price. However, it is the cuttest thing EVER. I kind of did his room around his quilt. And Nephi wants me to tell everyone that taylor will be taking this quilt with him to college. LOL! But for Taylors Birthday my sister-in-law star made THE CUTTEST fire truck on canvas painting. Might I mention that she did it all FREE HAND! She was just looking at a picture the size of normal paper and did it perfect to every little detail. She is amazing that is all I have to say about that. It looks so cute in his room and that is why I felt the need to share. ;) She needs to be recognized. ;)

Cutest little Girls EVER!

2010-05-17T14:12:00.000-07:00

These two are so cute! They are just inseperable! Yeah, they might have their "moments" with eachother, but overall they are BFF's! I just think Brinley is so lucky to have a cousin her age! I remember being really close with my cousin Jessica and those were some of my favorite memories made! ;) I hope they stay this close forever!

More than just a drive thru man!!

2010-04-29T20:48:00.000-07:00

So, today my mom came and got me to take me for a ride (I just had knee surgery) and get a fountain drink. Later on the drive we both decided that chick-fil-a sounded good, so we made our way over there. We pulled up behind the next car in line and were immediately greeted by the gentleman taking orders outside. He asked what we wanted and we told him, "an 8 piece nugget and a 12 piece nugget". He asked if we wanted sauce...we said "no". Then he called in the order via his headset and a few seconds later told us our total which was quickly followed by, "and your garments are showing". (like it was this big deal. The tone in his voice made it seem like an urgent matter. Kind of like "maam, your nipple is showing" type of urgency.) I glanced down and saw that (I was wearing loose soccer shorts because my knee was all wrapped up) a tiny part of lace was showing out from my white shorts. My mom and I just looked at each other and slowly inched forward in our car. We still can't figure out what possessed him to say that, and also that I was IN MY OWN CAR with a SWOLLEN KNEE and a little DOPED UP from LORTAB! LOL! I just thought it was a little strange that he felt it was his business to look into my car and tell me my garments were showing. LOL. Hum....some people. That, by far, has got to be one of the most odd experiences I have ever had. Glad I got to share it with my mom. ;)

Cars, Trains and......Boobs??

2010-04-25T21:59:00.000-07:00

The other day I made the mistake of buy a bag of balloons for my kids (and nephi) to play with. Taylor has this fetish with "boobs''. He doesn't understand them but he knows he likes them. So you can probably understand what happened when nephi came walking out of the kitchen with two balloons under his shirt. His jaw dropped and his eyes got big and he then started laughing hysterically. He ran up to nephi and started pointing. So nephi thought it would be clever if he blew two of them up in "taylors size" and put them under his shirt. Well, this is what we got.....

It is normal for kids to like balloons. They float and are bright in color and resemble a ball, but I think taylor likes them for the wrong reasons. LOL! But it was good bonding time for him and his daddy. Nothing like a little "balloon chest bumping" to get the testosterone flowing in them. I love my boys!

Our Latest Project

2010-04-17T16:28:00.000-07:00

Nephi took this last week off and ended up working. LOL! But there is a story behind it. I keep telling nephi that I want to move somewhere warm and tropical. I swear I was born in the wrong climate. Him and I both know that right now it is not possible to move anywhere "warm", so that being said we decided to build our own Oasis in our back yard. After hours of the hard work and sweat we finally finished our "oasis" area. We planted a mini pine with flower shrubs and small flower bushes. Then we added some solar lights for that "touch". It is so nice to come and sit back here and relax and smell the bark and pine and lavender. The one final touch to our "oasis" isn't hear yet. We bought a hot tub but it is taking forever to get here. I am just so grateful to have a hubby that works so hard and is super talented. I truely am blessed.

Not mine but His

I feel the need to share this experience with everyone in hopes that you may all learn from it and the spirit will touch you the way it gently touched my heart.
This last January it was our wards turn to take on the dreaded 9am church block. I knew this was going to be a problem for me because I had already had a hard time making to our 11am church. I was just always tired and fatigued as my body tries to restore itself to homeostasis after a grueling summer of medical issues. Well, today was another battle with "getting out of bed" and "finding something that fits me" (I gained a lot of weight from the hysterectomy), and this morning when my alarm went off I didn't have the energy to go through the same battling process I go through every Sunday. So I decided to let myself stay in bed and rest. I leaned over to turn the alarm off I felt a rush of guilt sweep over me, but I buried the guilt and fell back asleep. When I woke up a few hours later that same guilt ate at my heart. I began folding laundry to help take my mind off of it, but it just grew stronger. I felt horrible inside and started to cry. I hit my knees and clasped my hands reverently together and began to pray. Tears streamed down my face as I asked for forgiveness. It was at that moment that I was overcome by the spirit. My mind was opened and I was taught. And then, as if a man standing next to me began to speak, I heard, "These are not your children, they are Heavenly Fathers and you are responsible for them. Teach them." My body became weak and I cried once more. The remorse I felt was to powerful. I truly was sorry. I promised to never let this happen again and I also asked for his strength. And once again, I was overcome by the spirit. This time it was peace and comfort as I knew I was forgiven.
Sometimes in life we tend to forget whose "children" we are raising. We are entrusted with Gods sons and daughters, and it is our responsibility to help them to be prepared to take on the evil in this world. Our homes should be a temple or refuge for them. That they may be able to return there, after fighting their daily battle, and receive strength to go again. I am so grateful for this experience, and because of it I know even more that our Heavenly Father loves us.

For those of you who know Dr. Durbin know that she is one of the most busiest OBGYN's out there. She doesn't even sleep for crying out loud. Well, I went to my 1 week follow-up for this last (and final) surgery that was done only to find that it would not be your typical office visit. In walks Dr. Durbin with a box and a tin filled with something. I opened the tin and saw that she had made me cookies (don't know how she pulled this off) and then proceeded to open the box. Inside was a plaque that she had made for me. It read:

"spectacular Near-death Experiences"

First Place
MELISSA GEORGI

Special recognition for

EXCELLENCY

Repetition

At the time this whole experience was just overwhelming. But looking back I can laugh now, and really appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into this. She is a pretty amazing Doctor and I feel blessed to have had her overseeing my care through this whole ordeal. And thanks so much to everyone and their prayers and concerns. Especially to my mom, for all of the time she has spent in helping to make my life easier as I experienced this trial. And to my sister for so willingly going "hospital hoping" with me. (most of the time at 1 in the morning) I am grateful to have such wonderful, caring family and friends. Without you guys I am not sure I would have had the strength to get through this.

GOING PRIVATE!!!

2009-06-01T16:14:00.000-07:00

I have heard HORROR stories from my sisters in-laws and feel that it is time to get my blog out of cyberspace! So, if you still want to continue to view my blog please leave your email. I am going to change it in 1 week. So hurry and get me your email. Thanks!

MY LITTLE MAN IS A YEAR OLD!!!!

2009-05-25T23:16:00.000-07:00

Taylors birthday isn't until thursday, but my dad is going to be out of town on so we decided to celebrate it today. We had a great turn-out. We all met at my moms house (thanks mom) and started the party out by cookin' it up on the grill......Larry style!! After we ate ourselves sick we busted out the cake and my dads homemade vanilla icecream. It was delish! It was the perfect BBQ. This is what I love about summer time!!! I am also grateful that I have such an amazing little guy as my son. He brings me so much joy. He puts a smile on the faces of everyone he meets. He is just too cute! Perfect if you ask me! Love ya Tay! You're mommy's little man!!

Kim and her family bought Taylor the yellow bus you see in this pic. It is a softer rubber and when you crash it into things it makes the sound of a car engine running. The "ball-tivity" center is from Brinley and the red "little Ensteins" ride on car is from my mom and dad. It is probably one of the better ride ons I have seen. Heck, it makes me want to ride it!

Here is Tay trying it out. He really liked it.

Tay laughing at a dog that barks when you squeeze his tummy. Grandma Burton gave him this and a cute outfit.

Me and Tay opening kims present.

Brinley striking a pose!

and here is Tay not exactly reacting to the cake as I thought he would. We sang happy birthday to him and then gave him his own little cake and....well he wasn't eating it and was probably thinking we were all weird, so I put a little frosting in his mouth and he starting gagging.......quite a bit actually. We really thought he was going to puke. It was sad. So....all summed up......Taylor doesn't like sweets!!!

Tay and Bryson eating some hotdogs! And I made sure we bought the ballpark....only ones I really trust! 8)

ahhhhhh......words can't discribe this burger. I could barely fit my mouth over it! And yes....that is grilled pineapple on the bottom. mmmmmmmmmm!

Tay working on those soccer skills.

A little tire-swing before we ate.

Tay's cake. (the one we ate) It was whipped frosting with white cake mix and strawberry filling. Good stuff!

And there is nothing better then ending the day with a birthday kiss from grandma. We love ya Tay man! Happy Birthday bud!

AN OUTPOURING OF LOVE

2009-03-23T09:37:00.000-07:00

I just want to take a minute and thank everyone for all they did for me and my family during this hard time. All of the meals that were brought in, the phone calls and not to mention even gifts. I am so blessed to have a ward and family members that care so much about me. I have been so blessed. Thank you so much for everything! I love you guys!

GRANDPA NEEDS A HAIRCUT!!!

2009-03-07T10:46:00.000-08:00

Brinley and my dad were sitting next to eachother on barstools at my moms house when I made the comment that my dad needed a haircut. My mom went on saying how she just gave him a haircut. Brinley stood up on the barstool and was observing what I was talking about and then, without missing a beat, she said, "no, her is some haircut" while pointing to his bald spot. Me and my mom were laughing so hard. Then she continued to say, "grandma, you did a short haircut right here." I love kids! I love the honesty the seem to be able to not have any control over. 8)

ONE BAD NIGHT!!

2009-02-21T10:49:00.000-08:00

So, at about 1:15 this morning I hear brinley saying ''ouchie" over and over again. So I flip on the hall light and go in her room only to discover that there is "fluid" all over her mattress, sheets, jammies, pillow and even dripping off her bed onto the carpet. I was upset because I thought that she had snuck a drink in bed..........wrong. I asked nephi if he had given her a drink and he said, "oh........um, I forgot to put a pullup on her." Yeah, all you moms out there just reacted like I did last night. I had to strip down her bed, take her mattress outside(after washing it) start some laundry, throw brinley in the tub and start scrubbing the carpet. So, anyone out there that has any ideas on how to get urine smell out of a mattress? I was told I couldn't buy a new one! That is my "night from poop" story!

4 YEARS TO FAST!

2009-02-18T11:31:00.000-08:00

I Just wanted to do this today because I know that I wont get the chance tomorrow. Brinley is such an amazing little girl. She is one of very few that are sensative to any spiritual conversation. The only 4 year old I know that has had enough faith and understanding to attempt a priesthood blessing on someone. 8) She knows who she is and lives it. She is a beautiful blessing to us. She touches the lives of everyone around her, not only with her amazing sense of humor, but through the light which she radiates! We love you brinley!! Hope you have a great birthday!!!

OLD SCHOOL

2009-02-14T14:36:00.000-08:00

I did these photos the beginning of january. They turned out kind of cool.

PAY IT FORWARD

2009-02-10T11:31:00.000-08:00

I got this idea from my sister-in-law Lindsey. This sounds fun. Here's how it works-the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well-before you leave your comment here, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going. Then come back, let me know you're going to play, and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift! Remember that only the first 3 comments will receive a gift from me, so be quick!

NEW BLOGSPOT

2008-12-28T18:40:00.000-08:00

Hey guys!! I just wanted to let you know that I am going to be starting a seperate blog. "Santa" gave me a canon rebel eos xsi for christmas and I am going to start photography classes etc. but for now I am just having fun with it. I love taking pictures so I am really excited. My new blog address is www.essancephotography.blogspot.com Check it out and leave me any helpfull feedback until I can get into some classes. 8)

OUCH!!

2008-11-21T15:20:00.000-08:00

so, I was climbing in our garage on a latter to reach the painting stuff on the top shelf when I lost my balance on the "sturdy" latter and slipped down a stair and on my way down cut my leg on the end of a rusty putty knife. Now I have to get a tetenus shot too. I got 5 whopping stitches. I am a clutz! Sorry about the hairy legs and the blood. I was going to clean it before the picture but my sister said it looked cool. 8)

I CAVED!!!

2008-11-20T12:26:00.000-08:00

For my sister: For 3 continuous days of lack of sleep. For feeling 17 again. For fantasizing someone who isn't real. For wanting to be a vampire. And for Making me want to get into shape so that edward might find me attractive. 8)

I picked up Twilight and began to read and found myself done with the book in a total of like 7 hours. WOW! Now I am even more excited to see the movie. Thanks kim. You owe me back my lack of sleep.

oh, and I think nephi could have played edward.

I LOST MY VOICE

2008-11-19T13:00:00.000-08:00

well, nephi won jazz tickets from his work and the seats where right above the portal that the jazz dancers come out of. (yeah, that made nephi's day) It was sooo much fun. I got a jazz ball thrown to me and balloon clapper thingys. The best part was that I got to spend time with just me and nephi. I love being alone with him. I even went and bought us each jazz jersey's with some money I had earned. It was a blast. And WOW!! I just uploaded the picture and I think that it is diet time for me. I look REALLY fat in that picture. Man alive!

JUST A CHANGE....

2008-11-19T12:54:00.000-08:00

So I must not like the transition between summer and fall because I went and really did something crazy to my hair. Don't ask why, I just did it. While I was at bliss studio brinley kept on bugging me to get her hair cut and ultimately cried because I said I didn't have any money. So, long story short we both had a change. I am just one crazy lady! I don't know how my family keeps up with me. 8)

STRONGER THAN WE THINK

2008-10-30T15:20:00.000-07:00

On June 2, 2004 I was married and sealed in the Bountiful Temple to the most amazing man alive. I have come to the realization that we all have our own struggles and trials, even in an eternal marriage, but that is what makes life so amazing. We get to choose what we do with our trials. We can let them over power us or we can stand up and fight, even if it means to the end, until we are safely in our heavenly fathers arms. I want my husband to know that I love him with all of my heart. He IS my eternal companion. I will be with you forever. I would give my life for you and would go to the ends of the earth for you. You are so amazing. You are my best friend. I love you so much. Being an eternal couple means that you are going to be there for the other no matter what. That is so comforting to know. I know that I will be there for you no matter what life hands us. We will become the righteous son and daughter our heavenly father knows us as. We will take a stand and we will win. I love you. June 2nd was the best day of my life. Best choice of my life. Here is to eternity.

put Taylor in his halloween costume just for the heck of it the other day. He looks pretty cute. My favorite part is the tail on the butt. Brinley went to a halloween carnival and I forgot the camera, so when I get pictures from my sister I will post them. She was elfaba from wicked. But for halloween she is going to be tinkerbell. She couldn't decide so I am letting her be both.

Taylor eatin' peas and random pictures

2008-10-19T12:31:00.000-07:00

Taylor in his super awesome halloween pj's. And to the left I added the cuttest picture of brinley with her "american girl doll" knock off from target. I have some pretty cute kids.

He looks like a little man. He is getting so big.

Taylor's pediatrician told me to start taylor on some stage 1 baby food to help with his constipation. Well, I started with peas knowing that babies don't like peas that much and much to my surprise he downed the whole bowl. I couldn't shovel it in fast enough. He is such a blessing in our lives. He is always so so happy and smiling.

OUT WITH THE CHI

2008-10-11T23:00:00.000-07:00

ok, I simply would not enjoy my life if it were not complicated. Well, I turned around and sold my chi for more than I bought it for. I know you are all thinking that I am crazy, but there was good reasoning behind it. Well, there is this REALLY nice flat iron called the GHD and it is about $300. Yeah, seriously huh? But, my sister found 2 on ebay brand new in box never been used, yadda, yadda, for only $90. So, that is why I sold my chi so I could pay for the new one. I am way excited. Thanks sis for getting me such a great deal.

IN MOMMY'S FOOTSTEPS

2008-09-30T18:27:00.000-07:00

Brinley started playing soccer this fall. She plays with a bunch of boys too (which I think is totally not fair) . Well, she wasn't getting the ball at first and she started getting really upset, so I told her that she had to fight for the ball. hum, I never thought about what the word "fight" means to little kids because she went back out there and was pushing and throwing elbows. She did get the ball and she did score. Not exactly the "fight" I had in mind but hey, whatever works.

2 legs or 3????

2008-09-21T09:28:00.000-07:00

Taylor has been really sick lately and one of his illnesses is a yeast infection on his private area. Well, last night I was changing his diaper on the floor and put some nistatin(?) on his infection. Brinley walked up and sat on the floor and asked what I was doing and I replied, " I am just making sure Taylor's ouchie is getting better and putting some cream on it." She sat there for a minute with a very confused look on her face, but without skipping a beat she asked, "so mommy, why does Taylor have 3 legs." All I could do was laugh. So my 3 year old has now had that talk of what makes boys different from girls. I didn't think it would be this young though. I love kids!

WICKED and DEFYING GRAVITY

2008-09-17T21:29:00.000-07:00

So I have always wanted to see the musical "wicked" ever since my mom introduced it to me after her seeing it. Well, lets just say that this video clip I found isn't helping me control my urges to want to go online (ksl.com for you nephi as a hint) and buy tickets for this april. I have got to see it. This is just a crapy taste of what I could be experiencing in like 6 months. Recorded but still amazing. DEFY GRAVITY!!!

IN HIS CONSTANT CARE

2008-09-16T14:18:00.000-07:00

The title of my blog post is the title given to this painting by Greg Olsen. I felt this photo was appropriate for the experience I have recently had. I have always kept the commandments of heavenly father, and always will. We have just run into a "forgetful" chaotic state over the past few months between moving and stuff like that. We have forgot to pay our tithing and have had it build up to a large amount. Right now things are tight financially and we are running into me having to go to the dentist for a couple of cavities and possibly a root canal, and we don't have dental insurance so we are looking at over $1000. Well, this last Sunday I was getting ready and said to nephi, "we need to make sure and pay our tithing today. It has been building up and I don't want to be in debt with heavenly father anymore. It was stressful but we wrote the check and nephi handed over to the bishop after sacrament meeting. After that I felt at peace but stressed at the same time because of financial strain. But I knew that tithing was the most important thing we could do in this stressful moment. Well, today I was checking the mail and came across a letter from our homeowners insurance stating that there was an over-payment and that they were reimbursing us. Below was a check for $406.00. I felt a sense of humility come over me as I sat there. I knew that this was not a coincidence. It was our heavenly father allowing the fullness of the blessings he had in store for us to be released. Things work out when you do what is commanded. It might not work out on paper but some how it does. Today there was a higher hand in play. We were always planning to pay our tithing that was backed up, but the blessings didn't come until our bishop had the lords money. We were and always will be "in his constant care."

"Try Me"

2008-08-29T21:34:00.000-07:00

This event that I am about to recap for you is in full dedication to my cousin Jodee Egbert. She had posted a "Walmartism" on her blog a few days ago about a question that was asked from a walmart employee to her. Well, now it is my turn to share. I am thinking of starting a whole other blog specifically to "walmartisms". ok, here's how it plays out. Well, I ran up to my walmart marketplace to grab some items for dinner. While standing at the check out line waiting my turn I noticed a rack of california scents car fresheners. On it it says, "Try Me'' with a scratch sticker so that I could smell it before I purchased it. I liked it so I threw it with my stuff. Well, my checker lady was scanning my stuff when she came acrossed my airfreshener. She scanned it then stopped, looked at it and looked at me and said, "Now this is free right?" So me being a smarty pants like her says that it is free and they are doing a special promotion right now. I was totally teasing her as I thought she was me, trying to be funny. Yeah, well she says in return, "yeah I thought that because it said "try me" on it". Again, I think she is being funny, you know, making conversation. She pushes a button on her computer and I pay. I get home and pull out my receipt and low and behold.........my airfreshener had been scanned and then voided from the transaction. SHE WAS SERIOUS!!! She thought that it was free because it said "try me" on it. My sides were splitting I was laughing so hard. I called up to the manager at the store, (my soul is not worth an airfreshener) and explained what had happened and he could not believe it. He was so embarraced. He told me to keep the airfreshener and he would go and discuss with this lady that the "try me " sticker does not mean it is free. It means to smell it. Oh, my! You have to be a special breed to work at walmart. . That was for you Jodee.

THE PROPHET JOSEPH

2008-08-07T12:14:00.001-07:00

This is a picture that was just released from the FLDS church that is supposed to be Joseph smith. The LDS church is currently authenticating it but are pretty sure it is a true photo of him. Pretty cool to be able to finally see what this amazing man really looks like. I have a strong testimony of Joseph and thank him for all that he did and sacrificed in behalf of the truth.

Would you like a cat with that?

2008-08-03T16:01:00.000-07:00

So we are all moved in (not organized) to our new home in south weber. Well, on friday night my dad and nephi where still unloading some stuff from the truck and had to leave the front door open. Well, I guess leaving a front door open is an invatation for any cat to come in.......because one did. Brinley was sitting at the table painting and the cat comes walking in and startled brinley and made her kind of scared so we hurried and grabbed the cat and threw him out. Well, 2 minutes later in comes the cat. So I picked him up and decided to throw him out the back door this time because the gate was open and maybe he would find his way home this way. Well, the cat just stood and stared at us through the window of the door. So I opened the door so I could put him out the front again and he came running in and was trying to hide. I finally got him and threw him out and closed the door this time. Well, as I am walking back into the kitchen brinley is crying. My mom and I ask what is the matter and she said, "I want a new house". We asked her why and she said, while still crying, " I don't like this one because it comes with a cat". We couldn't stop laughing. I love brinley so much.

TAYLOR'S FIRST SMILE

2008-07-21T13:18:00.001-07:00

Balding early in life. Lets just hope he gets his dads thick hair.

This is Taylor first thing in the morning.(about 3am) The poor kid looks nothing like his dad. Me and Nephi call him the "recessive gene".

WE FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING!!

2008-07-19T09:24:00.001-07:00

Well, we found a townhouse in south weber and put an offer on it and it all worked out great. So, we are in the process of closing. We close on the 31st of this month. I am so excited. Finally we can go and settle somewhere. I am excited to be in a ward in south weber. They are known for amazing wards down here. Me and Nephi are excited to start running down here too. Aside from the possiblilty of getting some sort of cancer from living here I would say that South Weber is the place to be. I will post pictures when we get a key!

HOUSE HUNTING REALLY STINKS!!!!!

2008-07-16T08:14:00.000-07:00

When you hear about someone looking to buy a house you think to yourself, " oh how fun. getting to look at all of those choices." Well my friends, it really is not what it is cracked up to be. (kind of like a honeymoon) 8) just teasing. Anyways, we put an offer on the one out in west haven and realized that we forgot to do one critical thing before doing so.........uh pray. So we did and while I was driving out to show my sister the place that we were getting I had that really sick, warning feeling from the spirit. Why? I have no clue but I would rather listen to the promptings rather then face the consequences of not doing so. So, Just to keep my blog visitors entertained we thought that we might put an offer on a town home in South Weber. We will let you know how that chapter goes. Shheesh, I am exhausted.

FOR THE CONFUSED ONES.....

2008-07-12T20:35:00.000-07:00

Sorry about that last post that has not been updated! Yeah, I like to leave you guys hanging. Well, long story short, and don't get me started, we didn't end up getting the house. But, We are making an offer on a GORGEOUS townhouse right in the south part of west haven. It is absolutlely gorgeous!! It has knotty alder cupboard throughout with the beadboard on them. Solid hard wood floor, crown moulding, upgraded carpet with way thick pad, granite countertops, upgraded jetted tub, well, you will just have to come and see it if we get it. Lets hope they accept our offer. The best part about this one we are bidding on is that nobody has lived in it. It still is in the "construction" cleanup phase. It is all done but needs to be cleaned. And I will have to take briannas advice on the roman noodles because we are totally pushing our budget. Hey, you can do a lot with roman noodles. Just ask any missionary. I will keep you updated. We put that offer in on monday!

WE GOT THE HOUSE!!!!

2008-07-07T14:48:00.000-07:00

Our counter offer came back and the seller accepted our offer!!! WOOHOOO!!! We will now officially be citizens of South Weber. (ok, that was kind of cheesy!!) I just am so excited now to say that I own a home and on top of it all in south weber!!! I never would have thought that we would have been able to afford a house with how inflated they still are!! You will also begin to see me loose weight with this as well because we wont be able to eat anymore. But hey, at least we have a house!

SO WHAT IF WE LIVE WITH MY PARENTS!!

2008-07-06T15:54:00.000-07:00

Here is a little update on our family. I know I have been slacking. We sold our condo......in 4 hours!! I listed it on ksl and 4 hours later I received a call from a couple soon to be married saying they wanted it. They really didn't even look through the condo when they came over. Needless to say nephi did an amazing job remodeling so the condo pretty much sold itself. Well, we were house hunting the other day and came across this house that was just listed that day and to top it off it is in south weber!! Inside needs just a little TLC, not much at all. It is in a cul-d-sac and the back of the house has horse property owned by the polls that will never be built on. SWEET!! Nephi and I LOVE south weber so we placed an offer on saturday and will hear on monday if they take the offer or counter offer or whatever they do. So wish us luck.

Taylor's Hospital Picture!

2008-06-02T16:47:00.000-07:00

2008-05-30T16:15:00.000-07:00

Hey every one. We had our baby!! He was born on wednesday at 7:57 pm. He weighed 7lbs 2oz and was 19 and 3/4 inches long. He is a cute little boy! We love him so much. When I can get over to my moms I will post pictures of him. If you want to you can go to http://okdarlin.blogspot.com and see him on there. My cousin took some pictures of him when she was visiting me. We will keep you posted.

JUST BACK AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER

2008-05-23T22:04:00.000-07:00

Well, for those of you who have been viewing my blog in the past 24 hours you would have thought that I had one of those "magic" blogs where every time someone views it it changes backgrounds. Well, I hate to crush your dreams but my blog isn't magic. I have just been trying to pick out a new template from a WAY cool site that has thousands of them. I finally found one that I am somewhat satisfied with and now I am going to back away from the computer and go feed my 3 year old and husband who haven't eaten in a couple of meals. Something tells me that "blogging" is going to be the on the topic of concern at the next general conference. 8) Too addicting.

GREAT NEWS!!!!

2008-05-22T13:04:00.000-07:00

I went into my OB today (I am 37 1/2 weeks) and she said that she is going to induce me a week from this saturday!!! That is on May 31st. It will be a week early!! YEAH!! It is my mom and dad's anniversary so I figure that there is no better way for them to spend their anniversary than in the hospital holding a new baby!!! Am I right??? Maybe I will buy them lunch at the cafe there. 8)

MY NEWEST NEPHEW!!!

2008-05-03T08:15:00.000-07:00

My brother and his beautiful wife had their baby on friday. He is an absolute doll. And it is not fair how good lindsey looks after just giving birth. Congratulations you guys. We love you!

LAGOON, LAGOON!!!

Brinley on the "marry-go-round"

Nephi and Brinley on a wet ride during 55 degree weather.

They had to walk around wet the rest of the day. Brinley didn't mind. She was just laughing at Nephi being wet.

Nephi and Brinley on Lagoon's newest ride "odysea".

Brinley and Nephi on "Lady Bug Bop". It is a smaller version of " the rocket" but lets little kids go on it too. Probably her favorite ride.

Brinley and Nephi on the swings.

Puff the Magic Dragon roller coaster.

Brinley just practicing for when she can really drive a car.

And below is brinley on the classic boat ride that was newly painted this year!!

Curious 3 year old!!!!

2008-04-22T07:39:00.000-07:00

Well, I wasn't going to do a post until I uploaded some pictures that I had of our family outing on Friday, but this could not wait. This morning I was checking my email and brinley came walking into my room with this serious look on her face. I asked her what was wrong and she (keeping her seriousness) asked, " mommy, do ants fart?" After about 5 minutes of laughing I told her I didn't know. But that wasn't enough for her. She wanted to know. So for any of you interested in knowing if ants fart then you will appreciate the research brinley and I did on this.

Up until the late 19th century, most zoologists considered this facet of study to be worthless, or altogether disgusting. However, emerging in the late 1980's was pioneering scientist Dr. Pantelis Zografos, of Athens, Greece, who placed single ants under intense magnification (300-400x)He covered the ants with a thin powder, and noticed that ants do indeed create flatulence. (He observed puffs of powder coming off of the ants occasionally.)However, ant "farts" are relatively rare at 1-2 instances per day. (compared to the average human at 14-16 per day)Also, ants do not excrete at the behind, but rather at a point near the center of the body. I hope this helps!

LAGOON!!

2008-04-19T17:11:00.001-07:00

Well, we did it this year. We decided to get lagoon season passes for all of us. (pricey, but if you go 2 times you break out even) I wanted somewhere I could go with a new baby, and since my sister has a daughter who is brinley's age, and a newborn too, I figured it was the perfect thing. So me and my sister drove down to Lagoon today and bought our passes and then decided to take the kids on a couple of rides. (let me tell ya, after going to Disneyland, I am so much more appreciative of Lagoon and not being NEAR as crowded.) But we walked on every ride. It was great. But, to get to the point, I just wanted to tell you how glad I am that I got one for Brinley too, because she was having the time of her life today. They have a ride like the adult ride the ROCKET but it is a little smaller and the seats are arranged so that little kids can ride too. (unlike the rocket) Well, Brinley's older cousin's were in line to go on it (the first ride we did) and brinley said she wanted to go. I let kim take her since I was pregnant knowing that when it was her turn she would back out, but I was so wrong. Brinley was laughing her head off. When it was the first big drop brinley was just laughing and flipping out. I wish I had brought my camera. She wanted to go on other big people rides like "the bat" and other rides like that that she obviously can't go on. But we stuck with the little kid rides and she had a blast. Next week when we go I will be sure to take pictures. I am just glad brinley is past the "being afraid of rides" stage. She is a blast.

Reflections of Christ

2008-04-04T09:31:00.000-07:00

This video left me and Nephi in silence. Something we all need to watch a couple of times a week just to remind us of the truthfulness of why we are here. We are grateful for Christ and all he did for us.

Taylor's first picture in 3D!

2008-04-02T17:27:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of Taylor in his 3d ultrasound. It is a little distorted because he was moving and his arm is covering half of his face, but you get the idea. He is definitely Nephi's boy!!

Congratulations Kim and Brandon

2008-03-28T09:08:00.000-07:00

We have a new addition to the family. His name is Bryson Layne Felt. He was born on March 26th at 12:56 pm. He is such a cuttie!! Next in line is my sister-in-law Lindsey who is due anywhere from 4-6 more weeks. Then after that is me!!!!!!! I have anywhere from 8-10 weeks. (but if I get that crapy Toxemia again than he could be even earlier. So cross your fingers that I don't get it because that is too early for Taylor.)

How fast can you type??

2008-03-28T09:03:00.000-07:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRINLEY!!

2008-03-22T16:53:00.000-07:00

Well, a little on the late side but here are brinley's birthday pictures. She had a princess party with Hawaiian haystacks to eat for dinner. This was just a family party because she absolutely adores her cousins. She had a lot of fun. Brinley opening some presents.

Isaac was the present helper. He made sure she got all of them.

Madisen, Kaylee and Sydney.

Brinley sporting her new Farytopia dress up that the Primm's (sophia) gave her.

Isabelle just being cute. This was her first birthday party. (I think)

She had Hawaiian haystacks for dinner with better than..... cake for dessert.

Kaylee and Sydney (Jennifer and Stars new baby Isabelle in the back)

Everyone singing "happy birthday" to brinley.

Even though it was a princess party Isaac still had the time of his life.

THEY'RE GONE!!!!

2008-03-19T18:56:00.000-07:00

I went in this morning for my follow-up ultrasound for Taylor to see if the Choroid Plexus Cysts were gone........They were!!! I was so happy and in tears. I was lucky to have my hubby and my mom and brinley there with me. Taylor is perfectly healthy. In fact, he weighs 2lb 14oz already and I have just under 3 months to go. They did a 3D ultrasound on him too and we were able to see what he looks like. He has the very dominant thick, dark eyebrows, the wide set almond shaped eyes, the cuttest little nose, the full lips, and best of all......the clef chin. Can't miss that gene!! During the ultrasound he was trying to grab his toes and hold on to them. It was pretty dang cute. But I just want to thank all of you for your faith in your prayers and fasting. I have felt it. My dad layed his hands upon my head after this all came out about 8 weeks ago and blessed me that Taylor would be born healthy and whole. That was indeed a blessing from our Heavenly Father. He listened for the spirit to direct him and that is what he got. Last Sunday I knelt down and prayed about Kaylee and let Heavenly Father know that I was going to begin fasting for her. When I finished speaking of Kaylee I was planning on asking again on behalf of Taylor, and when I went to speak I found that I couldn't bring myself to ask of that again and at that same time the spirit let me know that I was given my answer and that everything would be fine. It was a very reassuring feeling again and I felt at peace. Thank you again for everything that you have done. Your faith has allowed a miracle to take place. Thank you so much!!

PLAYED TOO HARD!

2008-03-12T15:19:00.000-07:00

Brinley and Sydney have been playing alot lately. The night that Kaylee was in the hospital I took Sydney over to grandma Lyda's house to meet her there so Sydney could sleep over. It was about 11:00pm and I put a movie on for them and 5 minutes later they were out. (as you can see)

IMPACT ON A CHILD

2008-02-24T15:45:00.000-08:00

I don't we all realize what type of impact or influence we have on our children. I learned this the other day through one of Brinley's comments. Nephi was walking around looking for the phone and after about 2 trips through the house he said to brinley, "do you know where the phone is?" To my surprise brinley responded and said, "I think it is on mommy's ear." I think I laughed for a good hour. I guess I must always be on the phone. Now I am going to try and limit my phone usage. Brinley is the cuttest.

OUR TRIP TO DISNEYLAND

2008-02-23T13:34:00.000-08:00

ON FEBRUARY 14TH WE (AND GRANDMA AND GRANDPA) TOOK OFF TO DISNEYLAND FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE WEATHER WAS AMAZING AND WE HAD A GREAT TIME. WE THOUGHT WE WOULD THROW IN A VACATION BEFORE TAYLOR IS BORN. HERE ARE OUR PICTURES....

Here we are in front of the disneyland castle.

Brinley and grandma with peter pan and wendy.

She didn't know who this was but she liked the fact that he was a dog.

They had a petting zoo there too. Brinley liked to pet the goats.

This is Brinley watching the prade. She watched it two nights in a row. The first night was a shock but the second she loved.

Brinley also met Belle.

Here is Brinley with Aurora

We had them all sing happy birthday to brinley. She loved that! She sang along too.

Here we are in line for the "finding Nemo" adventure ride. We waited over an hour just to put Brinley on a submarine and watch her be scared to death. Not recommended for little ones.

Brinley, mommy and daddy at the parade. Brinley is also eating a mickey mouse soft pretzel. She loved eating those.

This little girl is the first one we saw in the park. Brinley instantly thought that she was snow white. We had to take their picture together.

We had lunch at Ariel's Grotto and we able to see all of the princesses there. Brinley's face looks a little pale because I think she was overwhelmed by all of them. She loved it.

And here is Brinley with Cinderella. Cinderella was really cute with her. She kept on kissing her on the cheek and brinley would get this big grin on her face. Not to mention that brinley was dressed up as cinderella too.

Brinley also met snow white.

Brinley with her cousins.

2008-02-19T12:26:00.000-08:00

Brinley loves her cousins. We were bored and looking through our pictures when we saw this one and she just had to put it on our post. These are just a few of her cousins. She has a couple that live out of state and one that lives here that isn't in this picture. Pretty cute!

Tornadoes kill 52 across South

2008-02-06T14:01:00.000-08:00

As many of you have heard, there was a violent streak of tornadoes in the south. It has been charted as the deadliest in 20 years. States such as Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas etc. were hit by these tornadoes. 52 are reported dead with the tallies still going up. Tornadoes (let alone this capacity) are not common in the winter time. Lets just all pray that those in need of comfort will be comforted. It could just be me, but I have been seeing more and more signs of the times. How about anyone else? Also, keep in mind that the prophet and his apostles have stopped talking about getting a food storage. They have urged and cautioned for YEARS. Now they have stopped. Just think about it for a minute.

Together Again

2008-02-06T13:47:00.001-08:00

I just wanted to share this picture of Sister Hinckley. She was (is) quite an incredible woman. She has stood steadfast in supporting her husband in the gospel. She is definently a woman we can all look up to. Now I know what it really means to, "be a daughter of God." She portrayes that in every aspect. I am just so greatful for her and her husbands example to us. I know that reunion with her husband was beautiful. They will both be greatly missed.

THE NEW FIRST PRESIDENCY

2008-02-04T12:13:00.000-08:00

I am so excited about the new presidency for our church. I was surprised about Elder Uchtdorf. I think he will do an amazing job. I also know that President Monson will be able to fill the shoes of President Hinckley. He is a great man and his dedication to the gosple with greatly bless our lives. I just so happy to be a part of this gosple. I love it with all of my heart.

CHRISTMAS 2007

She got a couple of new barbies. The one she is holding is a dora one.

She got a lot a dress ups. This is just one she had to try on.

RANDOM PICTURES OF THE GEORGI FAMILY

2008-01-28T16:59:00.000-08:00

Me and Nephi on our trip to Yellowstone before we had brinley.
