WHAT A WEEK!!!

First I have to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Brandon. Sorry that your b-day sucked this year B. So our week started out good on Monday we went to Rochelle's and had a delicious Chinese dinner. Thanks Rochelle it was yummy. Then Tuesday and Wensday were just normal days. Thursday was the last day I had off until Monday so i was going to get Christmas shopping done (i was going to find some little gifts for all of you who got me something and i haven't gotten you anything. I"m sooo sorry)Anyway so i was going to do some more shopping and get Brandon a few things for his b-day. Well the day started out crappy. I was planning on watching Nikki's boys so that she could go to the twilight movie. so i was trying to get everything done before then. So i got the boys all ready and loaded them up in the car, opened the garage door and was like "ohhh crap" There was noooo way my car would have gotten out without getting stuck in the snow. So i was like ok big deal I'll shovel the drive way. HA HA HA yeah so i decided that shoveling SUCKS! I took me an hour to shovel the whole drive way. so i ended up taking the boys back inside while i finished shoveling. and of course when i got done and went inside Jaxon had destroyed the house. Anyways ok so i got over that and went to the store and noticed that i had missed a bunch of calls. So then Rochelle called and informed me that Brandon had been hurt snowboarding. So i was like ok so i called his cell phone and his buddy mikie answered and told me that he wrecked snowboarding and that he was in alot of pain they knew that he had broken ribs and a passable punchered lung. They were trying to decided if he could ride home with his friends or if he had to be taken in an ambulance. So that all sucked pretty bad There was nothing i could do but to wait. So his buddie finally brought him home and he was really hurting. They gave him 2 shots of Morphine up at Brian Head but it was wearing off now so he needed to take some pain pills. Well he hadn't eaten all day and took a loratab on an empty stomach. And that made things worse. he couldn't keep anything down and I guess throwing up with 3 broken ribs hurts real bad. Brandon said it's the worst pain that he's ever had. He finally fell asleep for about an hour and then at like 1 a.m. he woke up with some bad sharp pains. He couldn't breath very well and since they told him at Brian Head that it was possible that he had a puncherd lung I decided that we needed to take him to the ER. So we got to the ER and they did more x-rays to make sure that something else wasn't wrong. And everything looked good except he had like a little pocket of air outside of his lung. Its called some big medical word that i can't remember. but its just a very tiny pocket of air and that's what was causing him to have sharp pains. They said that we just had to watch his breathing and if it got to where he felt like he couldn't get enough air then we would have to go back in. So we finally left at 5:30 a.m. I got about 3 hours of sleep and then had to go to work. It sucked so i worked all day and then we had my work Christmas party. So I went to that. (I felt bad leaving Brandon home but I freakin paid like 92.00 for that dumb party so i felt that i had to get my money's worth.) Our work is kinda screwy they make the employee's pay for there Christmas party. You have to join the "association" and then they take like 2.oo out of your checks each week and then they use it for the summer party and the Christmas party. Anyway so i went to the party and the food sucked The prime rib, potatoes and rolls were cold. The shrimp was ok. But i did get a 25.00 gift card to Target. It was quite the day. So I'm sooo sorry Nikki, shallon and Becky I really was going to get you all something for Christmas but it kinda screwed me up when i had to pay the Brian Head medical place 300.00 for all of Brandons stuff. I hope you understand. I hope you all have a great Christmas and thanks so much for being my friends. And a real big thanks to Brandon's friend Keven, Rochelle, and my mom. for taking care of Brandon it means so much and were so Grateful to have such wonderful family and friends. I feel bad that the only picture i have of Brandon's birthday is of his cake. Its just so sad he can't lay down. So he has to sleep sitting in a chair. I don't know if this is a b-day that he's going to want to remember. But I do have alot of Random pictures. That I'll post. Most of them are just of the snow but i have to tell a little story about the flower picture. There's this guy that works at smiths his name is Jim Jone's and he is one of the funniest people that i have ever met. He works in the produce dept (keep that in mind when looking at the flower picture) So he made me this flower arrangement I was like "oh he's so nice" then i started looking at it and noticed that he put some bok choy (I think its a green vegetable that Chinese people eat)celery, and a green onion in it. So you kinda have to look close to see the green onion and celery. And then I have to post the picture of my shoveled drive way on there. But the picture doesn't do it's justice. It seriously was one of the hardest things that i have ever done. There really was a ton of snow. Anyways i have to get to bed so thanks for listening to me complain. And I hope you all have a great Christmas and a happy new year.

oops

So i just realized that the beautiful sunset picture didn't work in my last post. Sorry to get you all so excited to see the picture and then it didn't work. here it is. Its really not that cool but here ya go

Christmas makes me go crazy

I love Christmas time but it sure is stress full. I went to wal-mart today to hopefully finish my Christmas shopping. I even went at like 7:00 p.m. thinking that it wouldn't be to busy. Ha Ha boy was i wrong I was still constantly moving out of people's way and waiting for people to move out of my way. So yeah i ended up leaving with one thing for Jaden and one thing for Jaxon. So then I was like ok I can't handle wal-mart I really really do not like that place. So i decided that i was going to hurry and get everything else online. So here i am I've been looking at toys for oh probably like 2 hours now and have bought NOTHING! I think about getting something and then I'm like "oh i better not get that it has small parts that Jaxon could choke on" Then I was going to get some fun looking blow up toys then i read the reviews on them and thought "oh well those are a piece of crap they get hole's in them very easy." And of course the toys that look really fun are way out of my price range. I'm driving my self crazy i really don't want to go back to wal-mart but if i order online i have to do it really soon so that they get here in time. And then you have people that give you gifts and you don't have anything for them so then you have to stress about what to get them. Ahhh ok I just can't even talk about Christmas anymore. OK so here are some positive things to talk about. I'm grateful that I have my voice back I had a sore throat for a few days and then i lost my voice. that really sucked i had to work and try to talk to customers all day long. So I'm very happy that i can talk normally again. And my funny little boys always make me happy. Jaden had been really into drawing lately so i finally bought him a note book after he used all the envelopes and post its. I never really payed attention to what he was drawing until today when i was picking up his room and i came across his note book. I was flipping through it and he's actually pretty good. I came to one where i was like "oh my gosh that's spongebob" So i had to put that one on the fridge. I think he might just be our little artist. Then there's Jaxon and man that kid sure keeps me busy. He has to be watched 24/7. he can start the dishwasher, turn on the gas stove (yes he knows how to light the burners), get water or ice out of the water/ice dispenser. He catches on to things real good. But there is one thing that I think might come in handy. He Love's to clean he Love's the mop and Broom and to help me wipe things up. So I had to get some pictures of him cleaning. ok well its now 1 a.m. so I better wrap this up and go to bed. here's Jaden's work of art and my little cleaner in action. The last picture i just had to put on because just think its pretty. The sun set was awesome Oh one more thing i forgot to say about Jaden's picture. He was so proud of it I was like its "spongbob" and he said "yeah and he has his spatula" how cute is that I didn't even know that jaden knew what a spatula was but he does" Ok i seriously have to go to bed now.

Thanksgiving

This year we went to Hatch it was a very short trip. We were going to go the night before but the weather was to bad. So we ended up going the next morning. The weather was still bad the next morning so we had to go a different way. But it was all good when we got there. But we could only stay for a few hours and then had to leave. My mom was taking the boys back to delta with her so we had to be back to cedar so my parents and the boys could head to delta. Anyways our thanksgiving was Good it just didn't last long enough. I didn't even get any pictures just one's that i took on the way. I'm hoping to steal some from Camille When or if she puts any on her blog But I have to share this story because I think its so funny. When my mom took the boys back to delta with her she also took my niece Peyton. Her and Jaden are good friends so I was like Oh Jaden is going to have a blast. So i called my mom to check up on them and she said that they were all being very good But Jaden and Peyton got into a little fight. So she started telling me about there fight and we were both laughing so hard. My mom was in the other room but she could hear what was going on. I guess They were fighting over a Christmas book or something and Peyton was just going off on Jaden She was telling him that he better apologize and that he better be nice or he won't have any friends. I guess she went off for like 10 min and the whole time Jaden just sat there and didn't say anything. Finally Jaden said "I just don't understand you" (he got that from me I always say that when he's crying and i can't understand him. I say "i don't understand you I don't know what you want)So then Peyton said "well you speak English don't you?" Oh my gosh that still makes me laugh so hard. Ok well I have to go to work so I'll post later when I can steal some pictures from Camille. (thanks camille, If you do post any)

My salt lake trip

This weekend I went to Salt Lake with my parents and sisters. My dad had an EMT convention up there and had a free Hotel room. So its become a tradition that me and my sisters go up there and go Christmas shopping. (while my dad is at his conventions all day) So my sisters and I drove to delta on Thursday and picked up my mom and then headed to salt lake. We stayed at the Shilo Inn (I don't recommend this Hotel)this is the second year that we've had to stay there. The first year I was the only one who went and we stayed at the Grand America Hotel it was the nicest hotel that I have ever stayed at. well the next year we stayed at the Little America it wasn't as nice as the Grand America but it wasn't bad. Then the last two years we've had to stay at the Shilo Inn. Let me just say that hotel needs a lot of improvements. First of all there were no parking spots. They probably have like oh 900 rooms and about 40 parking spaces. So the last night there we had to pay 8.00 to park across the street. Then there shower sucked, the water just trickled out of the shower head. And you had to wait about 10 min for the water to get warm, There Hot tub was broken, The wireless Internet didn't work, And the remote didn't work. But i guess I can't complain since we stayed there for free. And we still had a good time. I took my camera but didn't even take any pictures until our last day when we were heading home. There was just so much to do and not enough time to do it in. But we did make it to the Gateway, Modern Display, Cabellas, Trolley Square, and Target. And I'm very Happy to say that I got most of my Christmas shopping done. I think we all had a great time and I can't wait until next time. Oh and I have to thank BECKY and ROCHELLE for making it possible for me to go. They watched my kids while I was gone. You guys don't know how much I appreciate that. Here's the few pictures that I got. I took some on my cell phone but i don't know how to put them on here so these will have to do.









Cool I got the pictues off my cell phone to work there not the best quaility but I think there cool because we were by the fountains

HALLOWEEN

For Halloween my parents were down so we just had a little family party. I think all the kids had a pretty fun time. We tried to make home made root beer (it didn't taste very good though) It said on the back of the root beer bottle to put club soda in it. well I guess your not supposed to your just supposed to put the water, sugar and dry ice in. Oh well now i know for next time. Oh and I made my first pie ever. I made a sour cream apple pie. I'm not even a very big apple pie fan but it was pretty good. Jaden didn't really want to be Iron man but he did put his costume on for a few pictures. And Ashton (nikki's boy) wanted nothing to do with his green dragon costume he never even tried it on. So he and Jaden traded costumes so Jaden was Iron Man and a green dragon. And Jaxon didn't like the costume's I had for him either I had a lion or a dog they both had a hood on them and he hated that. but I did get a picture of him crying with the lion costume on. So he ended up being a red M&M. We didn't even go trick or treating. Brandon and I both had to work that day and after the party we were to pooped to take the kids out. But they didn't seem to mind to much. It makes me a little sad that people don't "trick or treat" anymore. Lots of people just go to the trick or trunk thing. I guess its a safer way. Its just sad that you can't trust what people are going to give your kids. Anyways i guess the kids have fun no matter what. Oh and one more thing that happened on Halloween. On an earlier post I told everyone about Jaxon losing my Credit, Debit card, and 60.00 in cash. Well I found it. Jaxon was getting into everything so i went to see what he was doing and he had pulled the drawer that's under the stove out. (you know how stove's have that compartment on the bottom of them?) anyways that's where i found my melted cards and my burned money just the corners of the money were burned so we were able to still use the cash. Anyways here's some pictures of our Halloween night.







My melted cards and burned cash

one cute blue eyed boy and his cute dad (wearing some cool velcro shoes)

The other day Jaxon was in the best mood He loved having his picture taken. he was even saying "cheese" And all the pictures were so cute so i just kept taking more. So of course I have to post a few. And I just had to put the pictures of Brandon and his awesome shoes on here.
A few week's ago Brandon went to hatch to pick up the boys who had been staying there for a few days. Well one day Brandon took Jaden duck hunting and they got there shoes all muddy so Brandon borrowed some from his dad to wear home. I don't know if Brandon picked this pair out him self or if his dad told him to take them. So when i came home from work I was like "cool shoes" he told me that he had just borrowed them since his were all muddy. Well then I noticed that he kept Waring them around (even out in public). So i was like your really like those shoes huh? And he was like yeah there comfortable and they were his grandpa Heap's. they even have his grandpa's initials on the back of them. So I was like ok well that's good his awesome Velcro shoe's have a meaning to them. So I'm not embarrassed for him anymore. Who knows maybe he'll bring them back into style. Actually I don't think Velcro shoes were ever in style. Anyways look for yourself and you'll see how hot he looks in his Velcro shoe's.

what a stinker

So about a week ago I was changing my clothes to go to work. (so Jaxon was left in the other room for maybe 5 min) Well when i came into the living room I saw that Jaxon had got my purse off the table and had everything thrown everywhere. Everything was out of my wallet scattered all over. Well i was in a hurry so i just put everything back in my purse and left for work. Well when i was leaving work (witch is at midnight) I was going to go get some gas and noticed that my credit card, debit card, 60.00 cash was missing. So i just assumed that it was at home. Well i got home and it was no where to be found. I seriously looked everywhere. I looked in the trash, under the couches, the oven, the dishwasher, Jadens room, Jaxons room. well you get the point. Every place that i know Jaxon can get into I looked. The only thing that I can think of is he threw it down the toilet. At first I didn't think that those things would go down the toilet but I remember that Jaden had once flushed a candle lid down the toilet. So I'm thinking that it is possible. Anyways so I've been going crazy with out having a way to get money out of my account. I have to write checks everywhere and lots of places don't even accept checks anymore. So i went to the Bank to order a new debit card and that was a nightmare. I went to the teller and told her i needed a new debit card. she said "OK well bob (I don't remember his real name) will have to help you with that." Well Bob was busy with another customer so the lady told us to have a seat and he would be right with us. The lady gave the boys a sucker but when the suckers were gone the boys were getting pretty sick of sitting there so then some other lady came out and gave them another sucker. well when that was gone the boys patience had run out. Jaxon wanted to run all over so he was screaming for me to put him down and Jaden was getting upset because i wouldn't let him climb on the chairs. So i was just about ready to leave when "Bob" came over and asked what I needed. I told him that i needed a new debit card and he was like "oh well they can help you over there" since he was still with this other customer he sent me to the SAME LADY that had told me I needed to wait for "Bob". I was soooo mad now i was finally being helped but my kids were not being any better. So then i had to wait for her to call some number and have them send me a new card. Obviously this lady had no idea what the heck she was doing so I won't be surprised if i never get my new debit card. I did learn something from this though I'll be going to the other zions bank from now on. I still have not found the 60.00 cash or the cards. I've asked Jaden if he's seen them and he kept telling me that Brandon had took them. Brandon likes to take the cash out of my wallet so then when i go to get it and its not there I'm like "oh great your dad took my money again" So Jaden is so sure that Brandon took my money. Maybe one day it will all turn up. Well i don't really have any pictures that go along with this story so here's just some random pictures.







This picture I posed the boys I told them to put there arms around one another. I think it turned out pretty cute. so I told them to do the same thing in the second picture and they ended up holding hands. They couldn't figure out how to put there arms around each other so i guess they just decided to hold hands instead.

A lonnnng post

Woohoo So I finally have the internet again and I'm soo excited. So for thoes of you who didn't know we moved into our first new home well its not new it was built in 1995. but its new for us and its so much better then where we were liveing before. We had a few problems at first but I think now things are finally comeing together. So i have to tell everyone my long story about the whole internet. We called Qwest and told them that we were moveing and we wanted to TRANSFER our internet and phone to our new address they said ok. So then we were moveing in and Qwest came to set up the phone and internet and they informed us that we had damaged phone lines. And in order for them to fix the problem they were going to have to dig a trench in our back yard to put new lines in. so they gave us temporary service for 30 days until we decided what to do. so i was like Ok well we don't have money to fix that right now and we don't even need the stupid phone we just thought we had to have the phone line so we could have the internet. So then i was like Ok there has to be a way to get the internet without haveing a phone line. so i called up qwest and asked them and the lady said that where we live it was required that we have a phone line. So I was like ok she was like i can get you the basic phone line and you can try it out and if you don't like it then you can cancel so I said ok. Well she never told me that we could only get dial up where we live she just said that its required that we have a phone line. so she said that we would have the internet on like the 26th or something. well the 26th finally came and the internet was still not working and our caller ID and voice mail stopped working. So I called qwest up again and they said you should have gotten the dvd in the mail to set up your dial up connection. I was like "WHAT?" DIAL-UP CONNECTION? she was like yeah then she goes on to tell me that they don't offer high speed out here. I was like ok well I would at least like to get my caller ID and voice mail working again. so she put the caller ID and Voice mail back on (oh and i guess she decided to add on long distance) Oh i forgot to say about fixing the phone lines. we found out that we wouldn't have to pay anything to get them fixed so we had the fugal people come out and dig the trench and fix the lines. well when they dug the trench they dug through our sprinking system. so After all of this I just couldn't deal with anything anymore. so about 3 weeks later I finally called Qwest again and told them to take off the long distace and cancel the stupid dial up (that i wasn't useing anyway) we decided to keep the phone line just so that we don't have to give our cell phone numbers out to everyone and its just kind of nice haveing a home phone. Anyways so i decided to get internet through Bresnan and its all through the cable lines. and I works great. so I'm really sure that all of you wanted to know the whole long story about the internet. so now I'll fill you all in on the more interesting things. Since we bought our house I decided that I needed to pick up an extra day at work since I was one day short of getting insurance anyways I thought it was something that I needed to do. so I had them schedule me a night shift. Well lucky for me they decided to schedule me 2 night shifts a week. So I've been busy working about 33 hours a week and I'm finally started to get used to it. Its a big change for me to go from 18 hours a week up to 33. So I've just been busy with work and watching the boys nothing to exciting about me. And Brandon has been keeping busy too (which I'm so gratefull for) he's building a big cabin right now in Brian Head. And Jaden well he started peeing in the toilet about 3 weeks ago and I couldn't be happier about that. He still poops in his underwear though that really sucks. Jaden is also getting excited for halloween he's going to be Iron Man (weather he likes it or not)he wanted to be a knight so I got him a knight costume well he didn't want to do that anymore so at wal-mart he found an Iron man costume that he really wanted so i got it for him and on the way home he started crying because he wanted to be Bat Man. I was like sorry your going to be Iron Man. And Jaxon he's getting so big he's starting to say more words and he is quite the adventerous kid. He love getting into the toilet, unlocking the dishwasher so that he can pull out all the dishes. and opening the oven door so that he can help him self to our dinner, and throwing the couch cushins off the couch. He difinatly keeps me on my toes. Well I think that about sums up the last couple of months. So here's the pictures of the house and just some cute ones of the boys.

missing the internet

some of you might be wonder why i haven't posted for a while. well for thoes of you who didn't know we moved. everything was supposed to be transfered to our new house. well our phone worked but no internet. so i called qwest and they forgot to transfer the internet instead they disconnected it. so then they told me that it would be working on the 29th of sep. well it didn't so i called again and they were like Oh "you didn't get the disc in the mail? I was like yeah i got a disc and they told me that i just had to put the disc in and download it. well the disc is for dial-up. so i called them and they said High speed isn't available where you live. So I'm like ok well I'm not haveing dial up. So that's were I'm at right now I'm waiting to get my new cell phone (witch will be the end of this month) and then I'm going to see if i can get the internet through verizon. Anyways sorry i have no new pictures and nothing exciting hopefully the end of the month I'll have internet again. And i can put some pictures of our new house up. hope everyone is doing well. Were doing well. I've been busy working. I've had about 33 hours a week. and Brandon has been busy too. Jaden is peeing in the toilet (hooray) he still poops in his pants though. and Jaxon has been busy exploring everything that he can. We love our new house it has so much more room then we had befor and a big back yard to play in. well i gotta go so hopefully i get get through one more month of no internet. I'll try and keep everyone posted.

You Belong in 1988

What Year Do You Belong In?

Jaden's Birthday

We Had Jaden's birthday yesterday I think it went pretty well I'm not a really good party planner. We just had family over for cake and ice cream. (what we do every year) Maybe one of these days I'll actually plan a fun party. But Jaden had a good time and i guess that's all that matters. The Avery's gave him a couple of Transformers which he LOVE'S. They have kept him entertained all day today the only bad thing is he has a hard time changing them back to the car shape. So about every 10 min I have to change it to the car so that he can change it back to the Robot. I decided to make him a cake this year to save some money. It tasted good but my decorating skills need alot of improvement. I was going to have Jaden decorate it but he was to busy playing. So it was all up to me if I really wanted to make fun of my self I would post the picture of it. But I'm thinking that i really don't want to do that. Anyways so Jaden is now 4 years old I can't believe that it was 4 years ago that we brought him home. He's getting so big and learning so much. We love him so much and are so glad that he's a part of our family. Happy Birthday Jay we love you. here's some pictures of Jadens party







sorry the pictures aren't to exciting but all the other pictures have the ugly cake in it.
