A Night Out

Tonight me and Braxton had a night out on the town. We met up with grandma and grandpa and Monica and Lexi and went to dinner, Olive Garden, of course. Then we went to the Nutcracker. Braxton said he loved it, he got a little antzy at the end but he was pretty good for the most part. I also enjoyed it. It brought back tons of memories. When I was little I danced with Ballet West. I tried out every year for the Nutcracker and finally my last year I made it. I was in sixth grade. It was such a great experience. I was a Lady and Waiting, we didn't do much just walk around. We had to wear these hiddious green dresses with cone hats, this year they were these beautiful pink dresses with crowns. I think that would have suited me much better. Oh well. Well, it was a great night and I'm glad I get to pass these memories onto my boys.

I DID IT

Yea Me!! On Thanksgiving I ran the turkey race in South Ogden. It was a five mile race. The most I had ever made it was 2 miles, but with good help from my friend Mindi I made it the whole way. We did walk a little but for the most part we ran. I'm so happy. But let me tell you it really didn't motivate me to run a half marathon. I think five miles is good. Tonight I cant even walk down stairs I'm so sore.

Front Tooth

Braxtons front tooth has just been hanging there all week. We worked on it a little every night, but this morning why I was brushing his teeth I hurried and pulled it out. He was so excited, he had to take it to school. He has lost his two bottom teeth, but that was last year. He asked me if I could post it on our blog, so I got a picture. I always think of these years as the ugly years, but he's still pretty cute. My front teeth got knocked out when I was 2 or 3, and didn't grow back in until I was six. It was awful.

The Joys of Motherhood

The cold air is coming and so are the sicknesses. Last year Logan was sick all winter, it was awful. And just to start this winter off right he is sick again. The last two days he's been with grandma's and they've had to deal with it, while I worked (thank you by the way). But last night it hit really bad. On our way home Logan threw up in the car. Braxton was asking me where Logan was going to sleep because he didn't want to sleep with through up boy, ha,ha ha. but as a loving mother I let him sleep all cuddled up with me. In the middle of the night what do you know he throughs up all over. As the night went on Logan continued to through up every few hours and Cooper decided to wake up a few times too. All and all I am exhausted. I am lucky though becausse I have a loving mother who brought me a Mcdonalds coke and Logan some sprite. I was supposed to go to work tonight but I think I will stay home and take care of my own sick child, even though I am already on probation for sick calls. OOOPPPSS. Even though I cant remember what it was like to sleep all through the night, I cant imagin life without them. My love for them is undescribable. They bring so much joy into my life everyday.

PIZZA PARTY

The other night me and my boys were laying in bed watching tv at about 9 o'clock My tummy started to rumble and I said I'm hungry, Braxton was like, me too. I was trying to decide what to have and nothing sounded good. As you all know pizza is my favorite thing to eat. So what the heck, I ordered a pizza. It was almost 10 when it got there so I decided it would be fun to have a pizza party in bed. The boys were having so much fun I had to get a picture.

So BIG

Logan has had a really hard time trying to get off the binky and bottle, so I'm trying to be a tough mom and say no. Well today after Logans nap he was asking for a bottle I told him no and left it at that. I was outside waiting for Braxton to get home from school and I could hear the microwave running. I walked around the corner and Logan had pulled the barstool up to the microwave got himself a bottle and then actually started the microwave. There was no milk in the bottle, he just wanted the bottle. I have no idea how he new how to do this. I guess he watched me one to many times.

The funny thing is, is he doesn't even drink it he just carrys it around the house until it gets cold

and then he's done with it.

Look at those puppy dog eyes. How do you resist that!!

Christmas Lights

My wonderful neighbors Scott and Jen came over yesterday to help me put lights up on my house. I was so excited. When I was a kid I think I only had lights one time. So I really wanted to do this. I was short one strand so before work I ran and found the last box of lights. When I woke up this afternoon I went out to finish. I was doing ok until I had to get up on the roof. Jen made it look so easy yesterday, but I have this little fear of hieghts and when theres nothing to hold onto its a little scary. My heart was pounding the whole time. But I did make it through and my house looks so cute. I LOVE IT!!!! I had to add a couple other pictures because we were having so much fun going through the Christmas decorations.

New Pictures

OK, so I'm back to my normal happy self. I love Christmas so I usually start a little early. Today me and Braxton set up the Christmas tree. I decided it was time to go get our yearly family pictures done for our Christmas cards and also the boys all needed there birthday pictures done. This is something I love to do but also dread. But, the boys all did very well, and I think they turned out ok.

I hate Him

So I've been trying to hold it all together but this morning I finally lost it. I found myself awake in my bed alone and just started crying. I said a little prayer but didn't know what to ask for. I am so mad right now, and I think I deserve to be. I have so many feeling all bottled up and I just want to scream. So what better way then to tell the world.

I HATE HIM, I HATE HIM, I HATE HIM

I hate him for tearing my heart out and smashing it on the ground, not only once but twice. I hate him for every lie he's ever told. I hate him for making me feel like this is my fault when I have done nothing wrong. I hate how he makes me feel when I look at him. I hate him for all my tears I have shed over him. I hate him for making me think he was a good guy. I hate the way he has made me insecure, and no longer trust anyone. I hate him for leaving me with three of the most beautiful boys in the world. I hate him for making my life so complicated. I hate that I hate him. Maybe one day I'll forgive, but not right now.

Halloween

So Our Halloween day was spent visiting grandparents, going out to eat with Monica and Lexi. We went around our nieghborhood to trick or treat. We had so much fun and got lots of candy.

Happy Halloween!!!
