Boo at the zoo!

Last saturday we had Boo at the zoo! The girls had so much fun! Brynlee dressed for warmth (smart girl) and Rae wanted to be a witch! I hurried and made her tutu early like 4am that morning (dont sleep much) and got it done pretty fast! They loved seeing all the zoo animals. And they loved the candy! Im so glad rae is old enough tp go up and say trick or treat and then say thank you! It was a fun Halloween event and we are excited for the many more events we have planned for this month!
Later that night Seth, rae and I went to Krystal hott springs! Bryn stayed with my mom! It was nice to just relax and the hott water felt good on my back! Rae loved playing in the water and she found a couple new friends to play with while we were there too! All in all it was a fun and relaxing day!

Iwent for my mri results. The dr. said everything we already new! They gave me a shot to ease the pain. (dint help much t all) The dr. also said that he wouldnt be able to take away 100 percent of the pain. The most he can do is 60 percent! We scheduled another round of injections for the 25th but they called this evening and said they had a cancellation so tomorrow Im going to do it! Instead of doing it around the ...disc in the nerves the dr. is going in the spine! Last time trying then he wants to do the surgery! I talked to my dad and he thinks I should try high medication before surgery with the risks surgery could bring! Anyway wish me luck for tomorrow hopefully things will go good and I can be out in a couple of hours!

So its 2"30 in the morning I cant sleep cause my back is killing me and little miss is awake! She is in the kitchen and she will stand by the door and say "GO". It amazes me how much she picks up from playing with Rae! Rae likes to say 1,2,3 GO! And the race to the other side of the room!I really do have some smart kiddos!

Ever since Brynlee was born she has always played with her hair while drinking her baba! She will also play with yours while drinking or even just to cuddle! I caught this tonight and I am in love! Brynlee playing with Rae's hair while Rae is sleeping and Bryn trying to fall asleep! Cute right?!?

Canning!

So Steph came over and brought me some homemade applesauce and pie filling! I couldnt wait any longer and had to have a bowl! Rae and I could have ate the whole pint! It had a hint of cinnamon which made it simply delicious! So I got the crazy idea that tomorrow (if husband agrees) that i want to go pick scratch that buy some peaches and maybe some apples! Who knows if they will turn out but I am so hoping Seth will let me go through with it!!!

Babysitters to the RESCUE!

Today Lee and Judy came and picked up the girls at 6. They got home a little after 10! They are so awesome! Since my back has been crazy bad lately, Judy insisted she watched them! She brought me a way nice gift to make me feel better! The kids got to play at Carl's jr. Then they went to the Hyrum park and got to play some more! Then Grandma got on the trampoline (which rae was so excited to do! They both came home passed out! I am so greatful and so lucky I have family who helps us out so much in time of need and that I know the kids are safe and have so much fun! Thanks lee and Judy you guys are the best!!!

My crazies but oh how I love them!

Rae showing off her pretty ears that she got pierced!

Bryn!

New word : TA-DA love it she says it when she shows me a new picture she colored. She also says uh-oh quite alot. I love seeing her learn and say knew words! I love how she looks up to her big sisi so much! I am one lucky mama to have these to beautiful girls to call my own!!!

Doctors!!!

i had my MRI on Tuesday and i am waiting till this next Wednesday to hear the results for my back!Its so hard and frustrating to have Dr.'s bounce you Dr. to Dr. and just making you a ginny pig! I hope this dr. will help this pain go away! I hate being in bed mostly all day or on the couch! I want to be able to be crazy with my girls again! Mark gave me a blessing that night and I was able to finally sleep! I hope that killing the nerves will work because surgery is the next step! I am greatful for my body and that I can do mostly everything and that I can still live life! I love the gospel and that I have people in my life who are worthy to give me a priesthood blessing!

Rae gets her ears peirced once again!

When Rae was about 6 months old we got her ears pierced! Sadly they got infected and so I just let them close up so she wouldnt be in so much pain!she has been asking me to get hers done and I kept telling her it would hurt. She said that she would be tough! So finally today as we were shopping at Walmart she said she wanted to get them done! I reminded her of the pain she would have to go through for a second and she still wanted to go through with it! So she sat down all by her big self (wouldnt even let me hold her) and sat so still as they cleaned her ears. They put a small mark with markers and then two girls counted to three and BOOM it was finished! She quickly git up and came and hugged me! NO TEARS AT ALL! But she was happy to get out of that chair! I am so proud of her and her being so tough! They let her look in a mirror and she said they are beautiful and that she looked like a movie star! Then she asked me if she could get a necklace and some braclets to finish her new look! She looks in the mirror often and smiles! She tells me thank you so much and that I am her favorite! Its the small things in life that make us so happy! (pics coming soon I hope)

Bryn

She is getting bigger by the minute! she is so much fun! Her latest thing is saying 'Look" at everything! She loves playing with her big sisi! She is still my little cuddle bug and I love it so much! She gets to be in nurssery which I cant believe she is old enough! Its so sad that my little baby is growing up but we love her so much and love seeing her grow and learn new things!

Preschool!

Arailia started preschool yesterday! She loved writing on the white board! She learned All about Me! I laughed when she said her favorite food was apple, her favirite movie was Harry and the Hendersons and she wants to be a firefighter when she grows up! I know this will change probably daily but its so cute! side note gaga and papa gave rae Harry and the Hendersons movie to rae and the first day she got it we watched it start to finish 4 times! She loves it! Anyway we are so proud of our smart little cookie and cant wait to see all she learns this year! (pics coming soon)

Fun with the Kids!

Patience and Joseph moved in with my mom and dad! Its has been so fun with them so close! The past couple of days us girls have been hanging out at my mom's! I love my family and how close in age we all are so that we can have so much fun together!

Two days ago Bryn got another tooth. It is the one to her front tooth on the left. Now this makes 4 on top and two on bottom! So proud of her. She has been sick and sick I mean throwing up and sleeping all the time. And Bryn usually sleeps alot but these past couple of days its pretty much all day long and awake and restless and night! Man getting a tooth is alot of work!

As I made dinner my 3 yr old said she was baffled. She continued "baffled means being confused at something" I said what, you crazy kid.... she said "mom I am baffled that you are making me dinner" OMG I have one crazy kid! And when I let her watch tv she amazes me with the things she learns :D Did I mention it is a blast having kids!!!! I laugh all day!!!! I then said she was smart she replies, " I know, I know everything about it"----- Rae :d

Night at the fair!

Us girls just got back from the fair! We walked up there! Its so mice to live so close to everything that everything is pretty much walking distance for us!We walked around the whole thing! I love that kind of environment! The girls loved all the lights on the rides! We decided to get some food! The girls shared a hot dog and I got a sprite and some ribs (that were AMAZING) from Roadhouse! Then we decided to head back home! The girls left with two balloons each! rae got a flower and bryn git a bear! ten some one was handing out balloons so we got another one! It was a fun, relaxing night!

Aug 3rd Family Fun!

Yesterday Seth took a day off work so that we could spend the whole day at a water park! Last year we went to Cherry Hill and Raging Waters. This time we chose Cherry Hill! We asked Jen and to come along too since she lives so close! It was so much more fun with them! We had so much fun! Little miss Bryn stayed with my mom because seth wanted me to go on rides and not just sit around all day! Rae loved the rides! Her favorite was the Lazy River. When she found out she could reach the bottom she LOEDV IT EVEN MORE! She walked around it for like an hour! We loved the little show they do and they have like a little pirate theme thing! They would have water and bukets dumped on you and under the bridge it would have misters! It was so fun and I love that we had some family time out of the house!

VERY TALENTED!

I have a very good friend pretty much like family! Her name is Kristen Wilkerson! She is a photographer who captures the prettiest pictures! I love her work! She has taken pictures of Rae and then also I had her take Bryn's newborn pics and also family pics! I wish I could learn from her and get just a little of her talent! She is doing a free session so go on over and like her on facebook and then also to her blog and you could be the lucky person!

I asked Rae if she wanted to mop my floor in the kitchen! She said we needed the cleaning music on! And then she said " Look mom the rag even likes to dance! I swear I love my life!!!

Rae: Mom I put some rocks under my pillow so the tooth fairy can put something new under there
Me: you know your supposed to put teeth under your pillow?
Rae: Well I want all my teeth so Im putting rocks under there!
I guess I cant argue with her! I wonder if the tooth fairy will come visit her anyway :D

Cupcakes for Snack!!

I try and make something for snack most nights and of course Rae helps! She is a great helper too! She lined up all the cupcake holders, helped mix with the mixer, and even frosted and decorated her own cupcake! (yes only hers)! She used every color of sprinkles (caked up might I add) and put tons of m&m's on and a cute heart tooth pick! She had fun! It was fun spending mommy and sisi time!!!!

Love them

Even though the girls aren't actually looking at the camera (how I wanted it) I love this picture! The girls were playing and jabbering to each other! I love how they love each other so much! You can see in this pic and from others that Bryn looks up to her big sister! I love you girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then he left a trail of eggs to the girls room and left a movie on the bed! The girls were loaded with candy and they had so much fun!
