It's back!

  It feels like an eternity that I've been without my computer. My beloved desktop died many months ago, at which point my dad came to the rescue with a tiny (I mean really tiny) laptop that he was no longer using. Although not ideal, it got us through for several months until it finally kicked the bucket too. What's a girl to do? I mean how am I supposed to keep up with facebook and pinterest without a computer? Well luckily I have a smart phone, which I will admit does come in handy sometimes, but seriously, who can blog on a 2 inch screen? I'll never understand why smaller is considered better when it comes to electronics. 
  We now have our desktop back and I'll be sticking to my handy 26 inch screen, keyboard, and mouse that are all hooked up to my big fat printer!
  Since my last post, Taevin had a birthday! On January 16th he turned 7, and what a little man he is becoming. We had a party with his friends and another get together with family. He loved his gifts and even more than that, the opportunity to play with his friends. With only one year until baptism, Russ and I decided to get him his very own copy of the Book of Mormon so he could read it for himself.
  He is growing up so fast, it's hard to believe that I have a seven year old. He has lots of friends and enjoys school. He is so helpful to me and has become so responsible, I am so lucky to have such a sweet little boy.
  Now that it's noon I suppose I should go get ready for the day while Russ and the kids are out playing in the snow, yeah, it finally snowed... and enough that Russ could actually get out there and teach Taevin to use the snowboard he got for Christmas. On second thought, maybe I won't get ready, maybe I'll just sit by the window and watch them bond. Yeah, that's what I'll do cuz as my neighbor just told me "getting ready is overrated."

    Getting ready is overrated! Lol! Whatever Amy! You always look fabulous. :) So glad you have a computer back. Crazy how it feels like life stands still when you don't have one.

    Taevin, is such a doll. Crazy our kids are going to be getting baptized next year! Where does the time go?

Eventful day

  It's only 1:00pm and already it's been an eventful day.   Last night after dinner as I was getting Kalei ready for a bath, I noticed that the dog was missing, so Russ searched the house to see if the kids had locked her up somewhere, but she was nowhere to be found. We figured she had snuck out unnoticed while Russ was getting the mail a few hours before, so he and the boys went out driving to try and locate her, but to no avail. We figured that if nobody had let her in she would probably freeze to death in the 20 degree weather with heavy snowfall, but what could we do?   As I was shoveling out my car at about 6:45 this morning, guess who showed up? Yep, Annie Belle, and she didn't look like she'd been freezing all night so I'm assuming some good Samaritan let her in for the night. I hope that dumb dog learned her lesson this time!   On a happier note, Kalei slept for NINE hours last night! By the time she woke me up at six, my boobs were like milk sprin...

It's finally over!

    Anyone who knows me well knows that I hate Halloween. I think it's a ridiculous waste of a holiday, a time when childhood obesity, diabetes, cavities, and greed is encouraged. And not to mention the freaks out there who use that day to perform satanic rituals and torture cats. But aside all that, nothing good has ever happened to me on Halloween, usually it's just the opposite and this year was no exception.   Friday was the ward Trunk or Treat. We had been gone all day and Russ felt bad about having left Annie home all alone so he suggested bring her along. I agreed as long as we tied her up, since she does like to run. We kept her tied to the trunk latch and everything went fine until we were getting ready to leave. We unhooked her leash and put her in the car but when the kids got in, a back door was left open. Just as Russ went to shut it, our stupid dog jumped out, took off across the parking lot and attacked our neighbors dog. Russ took off af...

Crying it out

  Today I'm going to write about something that I've come to feel quite strongly about. I am aware that not everyone will agree with me on this but this is my blog so I'll write what I want.   I'll start by saying that it has taken a while to get my little ones to sleep through the night. It seems that just as they get old enough to sleep without a feeding at night, they start to teeth and it throws everything off, and every time I've mentioned our sleep issues, there is always someone who is quick to say "just let them cry it out".   I'm sure the so called "professional" that came up with the idea of letting a baby cry it out was not a mother, but probably a man with little understanding of babies. I tried this method with both of my boys and found it not only cruel and neglectful, but ineffective and complete torture for me. There is no amount of schooling that can take the place of a mothers instinct, it is a gift given to mothers by Go...
