SuMMeR DaYs....

Although FALL is my favorite time of the year,

I'm missing summer a little bit already and here's why.....

Cute kids enjoying their ICE CREAM CONES on a hot summer day....

....and enjoying them just as much if not MORE on a cool summer night.:)

I Also miss the cute sunkissed look...

and the CRAZY CUTE tan lined bum!!! :)

I miss the FUN in SUN with my kiddos.....

I miss having fun with the BUBBLES and the feeling of warm cement under my feet....

I miss watching the kids play for hours on end in the SPRINKLER...
And boy do I miss those FUN St. George trips with the family...

..and watching these CUTE kids entertain us the way kids do:)

Good bye SUMMER...... we'll miss you for great reasons!!!!

GOING PRIVATE.....and here is why

SOOOOOOOOO........ I have been on the fence for a while about going private or not

with my blog and I have decided that I am

FOR SURE GOING PRIVATE!

HERE IS WHY:

I checked the "STATS" on my blog and I was totally in SHOCK!

(if you have never checked yours I highly recommend checking it)

It will show you how many hits your blog is getting a day, month etc...., where people are from checking it, how people are finding your blog etc.etc....

I don't mind a friend of a friend or whatever checking my blog, even if I don't know them personally, what totally FREAKS ME OUT and what I DO have a problem with is

when I see I have had 200+ hits a day, and people from all over the world checking it, Mexico, Pakistan, China, Brazil etc.....

I don't know that many people??? I don't know people in those countries??? I don't know if their intentions are good or not?????

Also seeing how people have tried to find my blog by typing in google:

Cute Pictures Of Baby Girls

Cute 3 year Old boys Bath ( that was JUST TODAY...

soooo DISTURBING, I feel SICK TO MY STOMACHE)

(on a friend of mines Blog (who is the reason I am now going private) someone tried to find hers by typing in Little Girls Going Potty.... ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!??!!)

THAT IS SOOOO WRONG IN SOOOOOO MANY WAYS!!!

With having kids and knowing there are PERVS out there who might take a picture of my kids crop their face or whatever and and put it on a porn sight I am SOOOOOOO NOT OK WITH!

Their SAFETY IS NUMBER ONE to me! I don't even wanna risk it anymore.

So PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE send me your email address so you can check my blog. We all like to do a little BLOG STALKING here and there off of our freinds blogs....

I get that I'm guilty 100%

and I don't mind people doing that at all on my own blog

just as long as I know your not a PERVERT haha!! :)

I hope to get all your EMAIL ADDRESS!!!

And to you PERVERTS CHECKING MY BLOG and OTHER PEOPLES............

YOU ARE SICK FREAKS WHO WILL ROT IN HELL...... MARK MY WORDS!!!!

Druws Preschool 2010

All summer long Druw was counting down the days until school started!

And YESSSSSSSSS it's FINALLY here!

He LOVES Mrs Morgan and LOVES his friends there!

So far they have learned the Letters A and B of the alphabet!

He LOVES show and tell!!!

Last week he brought an

Airplane (a paper one that Nate made and he colored:) for Letter A

And this week he brought a

Belt for Letter B

( He choose to bring the belt because Nate taught him how

to SNAP it together and he thought it was the coolest thing ever!:)

I LOVE how much he is learning!!

I LOVE Hearing him sing the new songs he's learned or

watching him practice drawing his name,letters and shapes.

It's also so cute to hearpractice making the

A-a-a-a-a and B-b-b-b-b-b sounds before he says a word!

He comes home with such cute things that he's made and tells me all about his day!

I look forward to it everytime!

He sure does LOVE being in preschool!

Here are his fun preschool pictures!

Such a cute group of kids!

What a cute class huh?!!

McKynlees Photoshoot -8 months

This was such a fun time getting these pictures of McKynlee taken.

She was super happy and smiley the whole time.

I can't get over how stinkin cute she is!

I've gotta say out of all the things Nate and I do WRONG....

I know one thing we sure do RIGHT,

and that is make cute babies!!!

I love this BABY GIRL!!!

She is a KEEPER that's for sure!!!

MORE THAN JUST A TRAMPOLINE

So Nate and I decided to buy a TRAMPOLINE this year.
I've gotta tell ya it BY FAR has been one of the

best purchases we've ever done and has been worth EVERY PENNY!

And as WEIRD and CORNY as this may sound

it has totally brought us closer together as a family.

Not a day goes by rain or shine that Druw doesn't ask,

"Can we go jump on the tramp as family?"

It's so sweet to hear him ask that because he knows how special that time is!

Druw and I go out there pretty much every day OR night (no joke)

to just lay by each other and "TALK" as we look up at the sky.

The conversations we've had while out there have been SO SO SPECIAL to me.

We've had those OUTRAGIOUSLY FUNNY ones where we

both almost pee our pants from laughing so hard.
We've had those SERIOUS LEARNING ones where we'll talk about things such as

stranger danger, knowing what to do in an emergency, knowing your name etc.....

We've had those SPIRITAUL ones where we'll sing primary songs or when he asks questions like "Who created us?" "Where does Heavenly Father and Jesus live?" or"What's the priestood?" These moments have been a great opportunity for me

to kinda share my testimony with him.

We've had those SWEET and TENDER conversations where I tell him stories about when he

was a baby and how I wish he could just stay LITTLE and be my BUDDY forever!

We have done so many things and have had SOOOOOO much fun having this TRAMPLOINE.

We've had campouts, we've learned and practiced new tricks-or "cool tricks" according to
Druw and yo gaba gaba :), we've had water fights,

we've had talent shows, we've had games and so many other things!

I know it's "JUST A TRAMPOLINE" a simple "thing" an "object"....

and ya, your right, it is.....

BUT

for us it has been more than that

it's been a place for us to escape to a "thing" that has made it easier

to turn off the TV or the computer or whatever it is

and spend that QUALITY TIME with eachother and make lasting MEMORIES.....

and for that i'm GREATFUL!!!

So if you couldn't tell we are toally ADDICTED to having a trampoline and would

HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting one to all of you!!! :)

Druw at the DENTIST!!!

Druw Went to the dentist for his FIRST TIME last Week.

The Dentist office was SO cool and was very kid friendly!

Druw LOVED the Nintendo in the waiting room.

Here he is getting ready to get the pictures taken of his teeth.

He's so handsome!

Everyone there couldn't believe it was only his first time at the dentist.

They we're shocked at how good he was.

They said he was "TOTALLY AWESOME!!"

Here he is just laying back watching Madagascar waiting for the dentist.

I can't believe how BRAVE he was the whole time!!

He kept his mouth wide open and never even flinched when they were working on him.

You hear of all those HORROR stories of kids at the Dentist.... I sure lucked out with this kid!

Not only did he do an AWESOME job, he didn't have a single cavity!!!

I was VERY impressed and boy was I a PROUD MOMMY!!!

He got a cool new toothbrush and a coin to get a PRIZE!

(I remember when I was a kid and I would get so excited for the prizes, I thought those 10 cent toys were the coolest thing ever! :)

Then of course after the dentist we went out for an Artic Cirlce ice cream cone.

Gotta keep the tradtion I had growing up going.

Overall He LOVED the denitst!

(lets hope it stays that way!!! :)

I'm behind on the blogging so.......

.....Here is a RUN DOWN on what our Month of July was like!

It started off with Nates Birthday!

Wish they could just stay here forever and ever!

My sister Emily and my Sister in-law Jenn both had their babies within days of eachother!

After the party we had a firework show. The kids LOVED it!

And Since his actual Birthday was actually the next day on Sunday,We of course kept our tradition alive and gave him BREAKFAST IN BED!!!

I sure do LOVE my little guy! Boy is he growing up fast!!! A little TOO FAST!!

Happy Birthday guys!

We love you!!

So as you can see we had a busy month of July but enjoyed every bit of it!!!

Overwhelmed!

Sometimes it's hard to admit to ourselves that we are indeed human which means things aren't always going to be perfect! I'm going through that reality check right now.

As easy as it can be to put on a nice happy smiling face and potray to those around us that everyhting is ok and that your life is just fine and dandy you're going to have a breaking point sooner or later. I gues you could say i'm at that point! I'm not saying that i've got a BAD life, infact I think the exact opposite. Overall I love my life. I've got two great kids and a loving husband who loves me for me REGARDLESS of my ups and my downs but there are just those times ( and i'm sure i'm not alone on this....although it's very easy to convince myself that I am) I think what the heck is wrong with me??! I know it's Probably just a little phase of depression...which again is hard for me to admit but like i said i'm human! I'm NOT perfect! I don't always have it all together!

Lately I have just felt so down. I'm usually a VERY happy outgoing person so feeling this way has been especially rough for me. I HATE feeling this way! I tend to get very irritated over the simpliest things, I've had absolutly no patience! I tend to tear myself down alot and focus on the negatives rather than the positives and I let things bother me that really don't and shouldn't matter.

Who cares if the laundry isn't done? Who cares if the floor has had crums on it for the past couple days? Who cares if i'm not fitting into the size jeans i'd like to be in? Who cares if money is tight? Who cares if I cry when i've had a bad day? Who cares if people like me or not?

Do those thing really matter? Do they define who I am?

The list can go on and on but really WHO CARES??? I know the people who REALLY matter the most don't..... so why do I????

I get so caught up in all this PETTY CRAP that it has consumed me and has been breaking me down little by little.

What bothers me the most and is the hardest for me to face is that it seems the ones we love and care about the most are the ones we take all our frustraion out on.

THEY are the ones who suffer. It shouldn't be that way... but it is.

I hate feeling WEAK! That's SO NOT ME!

I need to be STRONG!

I need to pull my head out and get my act together!

I nee to put my time and postive energy towards my Hubby and my Kids!

They DESERVE a HAPPY ME!!!

THEY are what makes me HAPPY!

True Happiness is something found within ourselves that I believe is a choice.

You are either going to choose to be happy or choose not to be regardless of any situation.

I sure am ready to feel Happy again!

Hopefully letting it all out like this is a start!

Thanks for letting me vent.... I needed that!
