Dentist

We went to the dentist A LOT this month! Alexis went one week ago and found out that she had a tooth that didn't form with the right amount of enamel so it is a different color, and it had a cavity in it. The doctor said with this kind of tooth fillings can fall out, the tooth can cave in or chip, so he wanted to put a cap over it. So on Tuesday I took Alexis in to have a cap put on. I was so impressed with how well Alexis did. She didn't make a peep the whole time, and held still and was so brave. After she told me that it hurt really bad but she didn't want to say anything. And then she told Grandma that it kinda felt cool.... because it felt like her body was flying..... (she had the gas) Then on Wednesday, Elizabeth and Brytlee went in for their cleanings and check ups. They both did so good!!! Elizabeth loves the Dentist because the girls are all very nice to her and "so pretty". (they also have a TV in the ceiling so she likes that A LOT)
I didn't know how Brytlee would do because she is so little, but she was great. Didn't move at all and let them do whatever they needed. (her tongue was going crazy trying to taste all the stuff they put in her mouth) (it was funny to watch).









Brytlee's teeth looked great, and Elizabeth has two tinny cavities....(crap) so we will be making another trip for her soon!

Brytlee's 2 year pictures

I had a crazy day today! I woke up early and got all three girls ready, took Alexis to school, and then headed to the Dentist with Elizabeth and Brytlee, (which I will talk more about in my next post) and after that we went and had Brytlee's pictures done for her frame on her wall. It is so fun to see what a change there is from one year to two. She has changed a ton, and is just so cute! I love this little girl!!!!




I am really happy with how they turned out, and I have to say that I really don't love having pictures done anymore.... It took forever!!! The girls wanted to run all over the place and play with everything! But Brytlee did smile great for the camera and made it so hard for me to choose wich ones I liked the best! (I felt bad for Lizzy... she wanted to have her pictures taken soooo bad)

Brytlee's Birthday

My Baby is two!...... I am not sure how to feel about that yet.... The last two years have gone buy way, way, way to fast. I feel like she should still be my little baby, but she isn't really a baby anymore.
Brytlee is so much fun. She can be such a stinker some times, but even when she is being her worst.... I can't help but want to just hug her, laugh at her, and just love her. She is such a sweet heart!!!!
Brytlee has really started to grow a ton. She is already in mostly three T clothing, and looks so tall to me. She can talk so well, and can now tell us what happened when someone...(Lizzy) is picking on her.
I have a ton of pictures from Brytlee's birthday party and other great Brytlee moments,


she isn't afraid of posing for the camera!

Brytlee's birthday muffin. She had just woke up and Ryan had made muffins so we had to sing to her and let her know that it was her special day! (that night when we were getting ready to sing at her party, she started to sing to herself so we all joined in)


The birthday cake! I wanted to make a cute cake that wasn't a animal or something like that, but it didn't turn out how I thought it would.... I just wanted it to be a cute stacked cake but the top baked funny, and the littlest one that I was going to put on the top feel and broke..... but it is still cute, and Brytlee enjoyed the frosting and the chocolate....


Brytlee loved opening her presents and her sisters loved helping her. She got some great presents! (spoiled little girl)
Grandma always buys her cute clothes for her birthday... I think I might like that even more than she does right now.....

This is such a cute dress! I love it!
Crazy hair
Dress up

Brytlee has really started wanting to play dress up or just put things all over her head.... I thought this was funny! She just kept taking bows to Ryan to put in her hair

This was a great look for her! PJ's, rubber boots, and a belt around the head! (she put it together all by herself)
She also insisted on this being on her head!

There is so many things that I want to write down so that I never forget how much I love this little girl, and how wonderful she is. I just can't put it all into words, and I don't have the time to write it all.
I do want to write some of my favorite things that Brytlee does....
-The way that she talks is so cute. Her voice is just so little and precious!
-The way she says "Zyes"
-when she laughs because I finally caught on to what she wanted or what she was trying to tell me...
-How whenever I walk in the house she yells, "mommas home"
-she tries to do everything her big sisters do.
-When she dances
-when she plays
-When she wants to cuddle, give me a hug and a kiss, and let me rub her back
-when she gets excited!
-I love everything about Brytlee!!! Happy Birthday

Happy Valentines Day

I had a great Valentines Day this year! I have to get a little mushy about my Valentine.... He is so wonderful. I feel so lucky to have him as a husband. We have been married for almost 9 years now, and the longer we are married the more I see how much we are alike, and the longer we are married, I fall more and more in love with him. I couldn't have asked for a better father for our children, or better best friend. I love you Ryan! Thank you so much for being so wonderful!

pinch your pennies

I had a lot of fun shopping yesterday at wally world! I went while I was waiting for Ryan to do some errands, and I had some time to kill. I went through all my coupons and just grabbed all the things that I would get for free or close to it. When I was done my total came to $178.00, but after coupons I paid....$11.58!!!! It was so cool! I bought a bunch of body wash, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, (herbal essence) razors, shaving cream, mouth wash, makeup, crest white strips, (they were more than $20 themselves) band aids, and a bunch more. I had over 45 items, so I paid less than 25 cents an item!

Snowmen

This whole long cold wet winter we have tried and tried to build a snowman and the snow was never the right kind. Alexis would get so sad when the balls would not get bigger and just kept falling apart. So we had a big snow day this week and got about six inches of really good snowman snow. So to make up for lost time, we had to build a whole family of snowmen.... Alexis made one for Elizabeth, Brytlee, and herself, and I made the mom and dad... (When we put the dad together, it was a little big and it tipped over, so Elizabeth used it for a seat instead) my knee's were killing me, and I had to be all done... So this is our snowmen for the year of 2009! Yea

Family Fun

This weekend was a long weekend for us. Ryan had to fly to Vegas on Wed. for a football clinic, and Alexis was out of school on Wed. for parent teacher conference, so the girls and I went to Idaho Falls to visit my family. It was a lot of fun to go and spend a lot of time with my family. My girls always get so spoiled, and have a great time while we are there.
The first night we were there, we stopped at Annette and Rob's new house to see all the new things that were finished, and while we were there, Alexis, Conner, and Elizabeth had run outside to "get some fresh air" (that is what they said). And then a few minutes latter they came in the house like this..............

So when Alexis walked in she was very calm and acting weird, and I asked "what happened"???!!
And she tells me "Oh, I fell" and then Conner walks in with his lip all bloody, and we ask him "what happened"?!!!!! and he said, "uhhhhh, I fell...."
So then I knew something was weird... they were both really calm, and they were both bleeding in the same place, and they should have been crying... so I asked again and again till I got the right story..
They went outside and started to suck on the ice on the chain, and they both got stuck. So Elizabeth helped them out and pulled them off of the chain. And Alexis didn't just do it one time, she had to try it twice.... It was really funny, sad, and kinda dumb all at the same time. But I think they learned a lesson, and I don't think they will be doing it again. (when I asked Alexis why she lied to me, she said "I was scared that you were going to be mad at me". So we had to have a little talk about telling the truth.
I had a lot of fun at my Family's and already miss them. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family!
I didn't have time to write about my last weekend also.... It was a lot of fun!!! I was able to go with Annette, and Sara, and a few lady's from their ward up to Sara's family's cabin on Bill's Island, with NO KIDS... It was a lot of fun, and sooooooooooo relaxing and we had a lot of fun conversations, played games, and ate great food!!!! Thank you so much Ryan for letting me go, and watching the girls, and Thank you Sara for inviting us all.

Our Girls

I have not been the best on keeping up on our lives and blogging about what we have been doing. So I will try to catch up. I feel like to talk about myself is really boring.... I have nothing really all that interesting going on, I feel like I do the same thing every day, and so I don't know what to say about myself.... I have started to LIKE working out a lot lately, for some reason it has become my out, and just make me feel so good in the morning. (I have not really lost any weight, but I am still working on it) I have become a addict to Mario Cart, and I have to say that I am AWESOME at it.... (not that is anything to be that proud of...but I am) (I can finally beat Ryan at SOMETHING) My house feels like it is never clean, and my laundry just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and same with the list of things to do. I am still so in love with doing my books online with Heritage Makers, and work on keeping my photos up all the time. I am also so in love with my Husband!!!! It is funny how there are just days that I can't get enough of him, and my heart feels like it is going to explode when I am around him. He is such a wonderful dad, and husband and I am so so so so in love with him!!!!
And the most exciting thing in Ryan and my life is our girls! They are so AWESOME. They are the reason I get out of bed in the morning....(seriously.... I have to get Alexis ready for school)
They keep me going even when I just want to crash and take a nap, they mess up the house so I have something to clean, (that is true, but it also sucks) and they make me laugh when I need it the most!
I love my family so much!!!!
here are a few random pictures

Our neighbor Jean had these Tu Tu's made for the girls for Christmas. She is so sweet and we love her. They are so cute, and the girls love them.






Alexis wanted to see what she looked like when she did her cool trick

This is Mickey, Lizzy's cousin. Lizzy loves to play with her and asks to play with her every day... They play so good together
they did their hair all by themselves
bff


Elizabeth thought it would be so much fun to run through the big puddle, but after she about froze I think she changed her mind.
