pictures

k so i have been trying and trying to upload pictures of the kids from Christmas but for some reason my camera is not wanting to cooperate with the computer! Kevin said he would fix it for me but who knows when that's gonna be. He is in school from seven to four during the week and when he gets home the last thing he wants to do is work. I'm sure ill get(make) him do it sooner or later. till then just use your imaginations k!

quick update

Just wanted to make a quick update! Lets see what are we doing??? Kevin is going to Wyotech starting next week and I must say I'm excited for him to start school for more than one reason! He has been watching the kids while i work nights at Walmart and he is soooooo good at it. I usually make dinner for the family before I leave and he feeds them, bathes them and puts them to bed. He plays with them and I know he really enjoys his kids. This makes me very happy.

Thomas is moving to Cortez Co. to live with his dad. This was mostly Thomas' decision. He feels like he doesn't belong with us. I can see why. I'm always yelling or getting on to him for something. Either its him being mean to the girls or smarting off to me. He says the girls get more attention than he does and I can see that. He gets more negative attention because he's older and because he makes bad decisions. I tried spending more time with him and praising him when he does something good but the bad outweigh the good on that one. Ill miss him very much and right now I'm very sad but i think he needs some time with his dad. He also has a new step mom and I hope things work out as far as him respecting her and knowing she is his mother as well. I like Nikki (new mom's name) she has been very good for Thomas' dad and is the reason he is doing so well now. I hope she can influence Thomas as well.

Kambree is doing great! We are trying to potty train her and so far so good. She runs around in panties or with nothing on all day long and will tell one of us if she need's to go. She likes to be alone when she poo's she says "mom get out now pwease". She is such a character. Kathryn is her best friend. I'm so glad they are so close in age because they play great together. Now Kambree will be mean and TRY to beat up on Kathryn but Kathryn can really hold her own when it comes to her sister being a bully. Things Kambree's into now are makeup, Disney princess, dresses and shoes. The other day I walked into her room and to my surprise there were clothes piled up in front of her closet. She had taken ALL the clothes out of her closet and off the hangers just to find her "pretty dress". She ended up putting on four dresses at the same time and could barley move! I so should have taken a picture of it!

Kathryn is now almost 15 months old and she is mommy's girl! I love that little rugrat! She follows Kambree everywhere she goes and gets into just as much trouble! She has learned to climb up on to the kitchen chairs and up on to the table just like Kambree! Our table is next to our only kitchen window and about a week ago they were both up there pushing on the glass and it cracked! I feel so lucky that they didn't get hurt. Well now we fold up our chairs and put them away when we are done using them. Yes our chairs fold up:) Any who Kathryn says a few words that we are able to understand like"owie" and "momma" she will repeat what we say sometimes if she is in the mood. She hates shoes and dresses. I think she's my tomboy! Kambree is the prissy one and Kathryn is the rough and tough one!

As for me I am working part time and I like it so far. I really need that break from the kids and Kevin. Me time i guess. I think i function better when I'm on a schedule and that kind of keeps my moods up. I have been off antidepressants for over a month and feel soooooo much better than i did in St George. I have my own place and my kids have their own rooms and oh yeah i forgot to mention MY OWN KITCHEN!! I can clean and organize my stuff and when i go looking for something its almost ALWAYS where i put it last!!!! AAAAHHHH!!! big sigh of relief!! So in a nutshell things are good and hope they will stay that way! Ill keep ya all updated as much as possible!! LOVE TO YOU ALL!! RAY

Baptism

My little Thomas was finally Baptized about a two weeks ago. Kevin's brother Sterling had the pleasure of Baptising him for us. We had friends and family come watch and after we had dinner here at our house...(chicken taco's yum)! we absolutely love the sister missionary's who gave Thomas the discussions, i think he loves them too:) Watching Thomas be Baptized was one of the most awesome experiences of my life. The spirit in his eyes was overwhelming. I could just see how happy he was to finally be Baptized. I think he has been thinking about it for quite some time now. I'm so proud of my little man and I cant wait to see what else he can accomplish in his life. I love you Thomas!

DOG PEE BABY...

its been a LONG time since i have posted anything...sooooo i just thought i would post something funny and kinda gross that happened to my daughter Kathryn and i today......

It all starts out at my parents BBQ today...Kathryn was sitting in her play pen and I was sitting right next to her out on my parents back porch eating dinner...i look down and there is this yellow puddle all over the play pen mat!! Panic!! I'm like oh my gosh did Kambree dump apple juice in the play pen or did the dog decide to mark his territory??!! I couldn't decide how to pick between pee or apple juice so i smelled it and couldn't smell anything...OK that didn't work...now what am i gonna do??.....yep i stuck my finger in the puddle and tasted it!! GROSS!!! it ended up being DOG PEE!!!! i wanted to throw up! my baby was sitting in dog pee!! HE PEED ON MY BABY!! Well i rushed Kathryn to the bathroom and covered her in soap and washed her from head to toe! lets just say next time i have to decide between pee and apple juice I'm just gonna assume its pee and scrub everything anyway!!
