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.

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.
