Halloween pics... better late then never =)

CNA classes

K so I have been taking CNA classes since the first of September and I am loving every minute of it... I have class for ten hours every saturday, and will be done with the classroom requirements next saturday. Today I had my first clinical and it was a little different then what I had expected. It was a good experience but an eye opener to how much nursing homes need so many more good CNA's to help with all that is required of them and the time and attention that the residents deserve... And if any one reading this is interested in going to school at all take a look at ccCNA.com, Claudia and Carol are the most awesome teachers ever. They make it an enjoyable learning experience. Some of you may be saying that ten hour classes arent for you but they also have day and night classes. Not to mention I have met some great friends.

some fun things I have learned

There are more microorganisms in your mouth then in your arm pit.. so to put it in perspective it is better to lick an armpit then to french kiss....lol


The number one thing found under fake fingernails is fecies...eeewww!!!!

I hope you are all enlightened

jordanelle

A week ago last saturday we went to jordanelle for the day with my parents, shane, Diana, Ashley, and nick. We had a great time swimming and attemping to fish. The water was a little cold but once you got in it wasnt so bad.. Brylie and Brikalie chose to play in the mud. Brikalie had an accident in her dry clothes so she did not have any, so if you look at the picture where I am holding her she has my pants on and they are like a potato sack for her..lol Thanks mom and Elden for taking us on a fun day trip we love you!!!

Police Memorial

A week ago last friday my mom, elden, myself and my girls we were able to place my dads plaque on the new police memorial at the State Capitol.. I would like to take a second and thank everyone who played a part in this memorial happening, big or small..I hope that everyone understands the sacrifice that these men and women have made. And not only the police but also the military.
On the side of the memorial there is a scripture which happens to be my favorite john 15:13 "Greater love hath no man then this that a man lay down his life for his friends"... I think that says it all in so many ways.
I wasn"t able to attend the actual dedication of the memorial the following day because I started class but my family was able to be there and my mom took my girls, so when I get some pics of that I will post them..
After we were done placing the plaque we were headed back to the car when Bailie started asking questions about the "big building" we were at... So her and I went up the stairs to see if we could go in so Bailie could look around.. And it happened to be opened so mom brought the two little ones up and we took a quick really small tour of the capitol. There was actually a wedding reception going on and the girls kept refering to the "Bride" and the "princess". After the fun time at the capitol we all went out to eat at the Ihop.. yummy!!!

ps. a quick clarification on the pic Bailie took of all of us..lol I was yelling at Brylie because she kept throwing rocks and one happened to make it down my shirt. So after yelling at Bry I was telling Bailie to hurry and take the picture... And so the end result, a real true life pic of our family...hehehhe

Brylie finally gets to start school...yeah!!!!

Brylie was feeling a ton better by friday so she got to start preschool... She is a pro since this is her second year and as last she loves it... She is so excited to have her best friend lilly in her class again. They are fun to watch.

Dance Dance Dance

Bailie started hip hop last thursday and Brylie and Brikalie started tap and ballet... They were all soooo excited and had a fun time... It was so cute to see Brylie take care of her little sister when she felt a little out of place. She made sure she always had a seat next to her and would rub her back...lol it was adorable.

Brylie and Brikalie first day of preschool!!!

Poor little bry bry was sick and was not able to make it to her first day of 2nd year preschool.=( She was up all night fevering and throwing up. It was too much fun for one night. But Brikalie was healthy and ready to go. She was a little nervous to go because she didnt know what to expect but in the end she had a great time. When I dropped her off she found her cubby and put her special bag away. She was alright and playing until she realized that I had snuck out then she kinda stood in the corner. But she has sweet teachers that encouraged her to play. Miss Jessica was taking pics of all the little ones for the end of the year scrap book. And of course when she took Kalies picture she had to pose.. Miss Jessica thought it was hillarious and came out to show me.. Of course I just said "thats my girl" lol... Brikalie loves to look at the pics I take on my digital camera so she was following Miss Jessica around waiting to look at all the pics after she took them... Miss Jessica had a little shadow following her every where...Ayden her cousin is also in her class and he had a difficult time with mom leaving for the first 20 min then after that he did awesome!!! Today they got to paint and color pictures. I love little learners and recommend it to any one looking for an extrodinary preschool..

Bailie first day of 2nd grade

K so call me a procrastinator or just a busy single mom of three beautiful girls... whatever works I will agree with either or... So Bailie started 2nd grade way back on july 27th.. She loves her school and it is super nice because it is a brand new school... I am very excited that she is just up the street and it is walking distance and she doesnt have to sit on a bus for a half hour.. She is very happy cause her cousin Breanna is in her class this year. Hopefully they will not cause too much trouble together.lol She thinks her teacher is awesome which is always a plus...

Family camp out to the palasades

Every year the family gets together for a campout. This year we went to the palasades. We had a lot of fun playing games and riding in the paddle boats, they were fighting over who got to steer... It was very muddy but of course the kids didnt care... At one point Brikalie got a bloody nose..How??? I have no idea. But we fixed her up with a little toilet paper up the nose (which I learned from my bros) and she was set..We played lots of volley ball and even got both mom and elden playing lol it was classic .We look forward to this trip every year and thanks mom for putting up with me and the girls in your trailer WE Love You!!!!

24th of July

In the morning we had a fun breakfast out in the circle with the neighbors... I have such a awesome neighborhood I couldnt has for nicer neighbors. Later in the afternoon we went to my parents for a bbq and fireworks... Thanks mom for the yummy steak. The girls thought the fireworks were great but they thought that sitting on the back of my car was even better..lol

Brylie cut her hair AGAIN!!!!

So the other day Brylie was being very very quiet which is not normal... I was in the bathroom helping Brikalie go potty (yeah finally). So her comes Brylie standing in the door with scissors in her hand and oh look at that a little bit of hair... not so bad right... So I ask her Where she was when she cut her hair. She told me she was in Bailies closet. So we go to the closet and oh look at that a little bit more hair... ok well then she informs me that there is more!!! So she takes me to the bottom of the stairs where she shows me a BIG pile of hair she had cut... So at this point im freaking out and trying to figure out where exactly she had cut it from... She cut two big chunks of each side, her bangs and then also a spot on top... luckily she has curly hair so it kinda blends in... Oh and I asked her why she did it and she informed me she needed a haircut...lol so I told her that next time she thinks she needs one let me know and I would take her to the hair lady. But of course she posed for me and said but mom dont I look beautiful...lol

Dustin and Carrie

Dustin and Carrie came to visit us for about a week we had a ton of fun.... The day before they left they bought everyone a present... We sure loved having them here and wish they could have stayed longer... Carrie is so perfect for Dustin I am so glad they found each other.
The two little ones got a build a bear that they made for them, they named them boo boo and babe..lol Bailie got a Jonas Brothers t-shirt, she loved it so much so slept in it and then wore it the next day also...And they also got me a gift certificate..thanks we love you...

My fight with the bunny!!!!!

K so I got my carpets cleaned on saturday and the new rule is the bunny can only run in the front room and no where else... Brylie wanted to play with the bunny. So I set up a blockade (a banana chair) in the entrance to the living room... I sat in front of it to be on the lookout so the bunny wouldnt jump over... Well I guess the rabbit is a lot smarter then I gave it credit for... As me and Brikalie were watching a show on the floor in front of the blockade, the bunny jumped up onto the back of the couch and snuck out... Bailie came to let me know the bunny was out and had pooped in the hallway... At this point I was irritated and went to go and get the bunny... It ran into my laundry room and went behind my washer and dryer so that I could't get it... So I had to wait for it to come out. She finally came out and I cornered her and picked her up. She started squirming and scratched my arm pretty good (i was bleeding, just a little).At this point I was able to get her back into her cage. So I grabed the vacuum cleaner to go and clean up the hallway as I was stepping over my blockade I stubbed my toe on it and I am pretty sure I broke it or came close... I have stubbed my toe my fair share of times but it has never hurt like this.... So I had a fight with my bunny and the bunny won...lol

More family pics

Here are some more pics we took that turned out super cute!!!!

Cherry Hill

Family Pics

My bro Dustin and his beautiful wife Carrie came to visit from Iowa... We havent seen them for about a year when we went back for their wedding. We were all excited to see them. Of course since we were all together for the first time in two years we got family pics done... We ended up doing them ourselves and they actally turned out pretty good...=)

The newest member of our family!!!!

K so I am a sucker for any animal that needs a home so we now have a new rabbit named miley...I love how her ears are lopsided, one sticks up straight and the other one just hangs.. She is actually really cute but I had no idea how much rabbits pooped... WOW!!!! she does pretty good for the most part if I limit what space she has. She will use a litter box most of the time....ok maybe not most but some of the time..lol The kids really like her she has only bit Bailie =) but what do you expect when you put your hand right in front of her face.. right!?!?!?! Lucy (our dog) is really good with her unless she wants to play then she will chase the bunny... And it literally scares the poop out of the bunny all over my front room...=) luckily it is really easy to clean up with the vacuum... I know gross!!!! but we love our bunny!!! here are a few pics....
