ear tube success!!!

Bryn went in this morning and had ear tubes put back in her ears for the second time. she did sooo good! I was really worried about it because it was a little later in the morning than I had wanted and usually as SOON as she wakes up she is asking for juice. But she didn't even ask for it once! she was actually excited to be there at the hospital and thought it was pretty cool. we got there 7:45 a.m. and they didnt take her back until 9:15. so it was kind of a long wait, but she passed the time with coloring and watching cartoons. I walked her back to the OR doors and handed her over to the nurse, and that is when she looked at me with her little eyes tearing up and said mommy. that was a little hard for me cause I could only imagine having your mom hand you to a complete stranger and take you back into a big scary room and lay you on a table. I just sat there wondering what she was thinking! I am sure she was SCARED to DEATH. so anyways as soon as she got done, they came and got me and I went back there and she was still sleeping. she soon woke up, she said ouch my toe hurts. (cause they had the moniter on it) and pulled it off. she didn't cry ONCE!! she wasnt even irritated or nothing. I was sooo happy for that. she just sat up and wanted some juice and her blanket. so it went very well and we are happy that she has them in again, so now she might quit getting those darn ear infections!


showing our bracelets...


all suited up and ready to go...

she might just be the HAPPIEST little patient EVER!!

pLaNTinG tHe GaRDeN wiTh gRanDpA!!

Brynlee seen grandpa in his garden while she was playing outside on her swingset this morning and ran down to see what he was up to. well she found him planing the corn in the garden, so grandpa was PATIENT enough to let her help him. it was soo cute! he would dig the hole, and she would put the corn kernels in the hole and he would then cover it up. they got 2 rows done together, and then we had to go. She had fun helping grandpa, this was her first year helping plant and she thought it was the coolest thing!

Josh and I made a quick trip up to Sugar House to help Kort and Ginger move into their new house. we went up last night and stayed the night then helped them move most of today. it was a quick trip but it was sure nice to just get away for little bit to spend time with each other. it was soo great to see them and spend the day with them. so I didn't take any pictures of anyone, but I sure did remember to take them of the food we ate!!! leave it to me to do that :) but it all was soooo yummy!! pics are not too great since they were taken with my phone.
this is last nights dinner, we ate at Market Street Grill and it is sooo freakin good let me tell you. I had the fresh atlantic salmon with pan fried green beans and boiled potatoes. oh it is seriously the BEST salmon you will EVER have!!


this was lunch today...it is pizza from the pie pizzaria. this is seriously the best pizza I have ever eaten. this is the vegetarian one and it was awesome!!!



this is what we ate on the way home. we stopped at Liberty Heights there in Sugar House before we headed for the freeway and got us some awesome sandwiches. this one is soo good. its turkey with sun dried tomatoes, avacodo, brie cheese. it has the crusty bread, like brushetta that is oh so delish!!


so ya we pretty much ate the entire time we were away, but it is all so good, be have to get it all when we come up!!! makes me want to eat all of it AGAIN!!

what I have been doing...

I have been very busy painting rooms in my house. I am "updating" it. It has been a project, let me tell you. my room was by far the hardest and longest than any others. it took me 2 days just to do the stripe wall. then it took me 2 more days to paint the rest of my room. but I am pleased with how it turned out and it is by far way better than plain white walls :)

the striped wall. ( I still have to get a headboard, I havn't found one I like yet and paint my other nightstand)


I painted all the other walls this light tan color but up on the shelf I painted it brown. no decorations yet, I have to buy new ones. :)



the bathroom downstairs..in this picture you really cant tell what color the blue wall is, but its blue/green. the boys love it!


just another shot of the bathroom. the other walls are a really light tan.

now for my next projects....include: my kitchen, front room, and the downstairs family room. so I will be one busy bod. but it will be fun!!

Easter 2009 (a little late)

so I am really late getting these pics up, but it has been so busy around here. Easter morning was a little crazy at our house, trying to do our easter egg hunt to find the kids' baskets, to trying to get to church on time because it was my nephew's mission farewell. then after that we had the luncheon followed by two easter egg hunts. one on Josh's side and then my mom did one. so it was a very busy day! but I havn't slowed down even long enough to post the pics.


starting the hunt for their baskets...I made them go on a little scavenger hunt and gave clues as to where their baskets were hidden.









they found their baskets!!! yeah!! oh the excitement

brax showing off some of his goodies.

porter doing the same.

bryn's 2 favorite things in her basket.


I have more pics to post of easter egg hunts, but my mom has them on her camera so I have to get them from her. and of course since it was such a crazed fiasco on easter morning I didnt even get pics of the kids in their easter best...so I will get one and post it.

eAstEr EgG cOLoRiNg...

so today we went up to my sis-in-law Tamara's house for the annual easter egg coloring. the kids had so much fun. but of course just because I took my camera with me, the stupid thing decides to run out of batteries. but hey, at least I got one picture of each of the kids. so I will have to get more batteries put in and then take them of all their finished eggs.
