Key found!!

Dec. 30
Remember the missing car key?!?!
Well, tyson found it today! Wahoo! $300 didn't actually get tossed in the garbage! Yay!
(Pic of key)

Tyson was cleaning his side of the closet and when he picked up a pair of pants off the floor the key fell on the floor. I was in the living room taking a little nap on the couch when he came in holding the key and said, " look what I found?!" I was shocked and excited. So happy he found it. And now I think I owe trey an apology for blaming him on throwing it in the garbage. Although I really do believe he took it and was lugging it around the place. How else could it have ended up on the floor of the closet.....treyzer. That's how. Hahaha.

Sunbeam

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I love it that Emmry is still saying this. I can't even remember how long this has been going on......a long time.
She refers to the sun as a 'sunbeam'

Some of the things she says:

"The sunbeam up mom, time to get up, the sunbeam up"
"A sunbeam up" (she would say this when she is laying in bed at night and I say good night, I will see you in the morning. That is her response)
I just told her that it was quiet time and asked her if she wanted to take a nap. She said, " a no. A sunbeam up "

Oh she is killing me with her cuteness. Love her to pieces- every night and everyone nine when the "sunbeam" comes up.

Counting to 10

Emmry is getting better at counting to 10.
It used to be
2,3,6
Now it is
2,3,7,8,9 (and sometimes 10)
We dropped the 6, but added more numbers! Hahaha
That's her answer to everything of course.
My favorite is when she wakes up and is ask her how slept. Its the same answer every morning-   2,3,7,8,9,10

looked low and lower

i lost tysons car key sunday/monday.
today is wednesday.still can't find it.
maybe trey threw it away. that is all I can think of. I have check high and low and even lower because I really think that Trey got ahold of it. (that;s why I said low and lower. hahahaha)
I have checked every couch cushion, plant container, kitchen cupboard and drawer (including the famous tupperware drawer where I have found strange items places in it before). I have checked in the shoe and toy bins. every closet. in every bathroom (praying it wasn't in the toilet), in tysons shoes in his closet- yes, I have found items in his shoes before but mainly placed there by miss Emmry.

I have looked everywhere. I have no idea where that darn key could be.
I called the BMW dealership to see what the replacement cost would be. Oh don't worry, just a mere $300. Sheesh!!!
You know how you hear stories at church about people loosing something and praying and then they find it........well, that doesn't work for me. Ive prayed numerous times and I am still empty handed. All I can think of is the kitchen garbage. Trey is famous for opening the cabinet and placing things in the garbage. I have found several toys and even shoes in the garbage before. All I can think of is that is one expensive key to be throwing away.

I hope that key magically appears somehow.

Christmas music, dancing and singing, garland with red berries, baby Jesus, Joseph and Mary,

Dec. 1Sun.

Belated Thanksgiving Dinner today!

Here is the aftermath. (pic)

it. was. good.

turkey, stuffing, steamed green beans, mashed potatoes, gravy, homemade rolls. 

Yum.

and then of course we ended with pumpkin pie and vanilla ice cream. delish.

Dec. 3 Tue

I started brainstorming about how I am going to do my Christmas cards this year and realized that I don’t have good head shots of my kids so I took Treys today. Not sure why because I think that I will take them again after I give him a hair cut. I gave him M&M’s to make him happy, but then when he smiled big and cute he looked like he had brown teeth so apparently that was a bad idea. But I still think he looks like a stud with a chocolate covered face and long spiky hair.

Dec. 3 Tue

Trey had a low grade fever today. I gave him some children's tylenol.  I think that it is just teething but if he is coming down with a virus, I hope that it won’t hit him hard and will pass quickly.

Dec. 5 Thurs

Trey didn't wake up until 9:45 this morning! I didn’t go to be until 9:00pm ish. He woke up 2-3 times during the night, but he must really need his rest. He has had a low fever for the past 2 days now and late this afternoon he started coughing a little bit. I think he may be starting a cold.

RS Christmas Party.

What a whirlwind of an afternoon-evening!

Poor kids were in the car since 2:30 when I went to pick up the dinner rolls from Safeway. the headed straight over to AJ’s fine foods for the soups and salads. I stopped back home for 15 minutes in hopes that I could change my clothes and get ready, but I managed to only get my shoes off and Trey was whining at my feet and wanted to be held. So I held him and cuddled him knowing that I was going to be rushed and even though I didn’t have time to just sit. I did.

**church. set up at Wendy Morjons house

**mcDonalds drive thru. spilled sprite in car. stressed mess.

*ty took kids to football, but it was cold night and I didn;t want little kids out in the cold since trey was already sick so he ended up going to Safeway that was down the street from Tages football practice. Don’t know what he did there. Give them food since neither of them ate their mcdonalds chicken nuggets. (niether would I, I tasted one before I gave it to Trey and it was nasty!) I know that he bought them a little stuffed animal. it must have been a long night for Tyson too trying to entertain them waiting for Tage. 

Dec. 6 Fri

another 10am wake up time for Trey this morning. although he once again didn't go to be until close to 10pm and woke up a couple time during the night. 

He definatley has a cold. he woke up with crusty green boogers on his nose and watery eyes. Poor little guy has a nasty cold. Cried all mooring and just wanted to be held.

I was suppose to go a charity meeting for Mothers Without Borders I am helping my friend Amanda with but because Trey was still asleep and knowing he was sick I didn't go. My other friend, Stefanie, still ended up watching Emmry for me. She took her to one of her friends houses to decorate cookies. How fun is that?! Emmry had a great time! I try to teach my children to be kind and polite for times when I am not there to give them the evil eye or correct them. I guess whatever I am doing to teach them that must be working because she used her manners! Stefanie said that she was an angel. Oh, good.

Trey was a grumpy mess all day. I hate it when I can’t figure out what he wants. Not up, not down, binks, no binks, hungry, not hungry. I just wish he will get feeling better soon.

Dec. 7 Sat.

Trey is still sick and Emmry says that her stomach hurts. Lovely. 2 sick munchkins. Not cool people, not cool.

Tage played his last football game today at 11:00. ‘The playoffs’ is what they called it. A coach from one of the opposing team got to pick a few players from Tages team and another team. Those players from those 3 teams played against another team that was compiled from 3 different teams. Make sense? Anyway, since it was super cold (low 40*) I stayed home with the 2 little ones.

whether with or without me - they won!! 

west region (tages team): 14

east region: 6

wahoo!

At about 12:30pm Emmry got a pillow off the couch and laid down on the floor, covered herself with a blanket and talked to a stuffed snowman for a couple minutes. I hadn’t heard her talking for a bit so while I was still in the kitchen I asked if she was ok. No answer. I peeked in the living room to see if she was even still there and sure enough, she was asleep. I knew it. I knew that she was tired and didn’t feel good. I hoped that the nap would help her kick whatever bug she has, but she still woke up a little sick saying that her stomach still hurt. I hate it when my kiddos are sick. It makes me feel sad that I can’t help them. All I could do is give them tylenol and cuddles. (Even though I believe Mom cuddles do more healing than Tylenol.)

Both little kids had a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner and they both actually ate a decent amount! Emmry wanted to get in the bath without Trey so I put him in the shower. Around 7:15pm Emmry said that she wanted to go to bed ‘in mommy’s room’ so I tucked her in in my bed. after which I tried to lay Trey down, but that didn’t go so smooth. He stayed up for another long hour and a half. then I could tell he was done and I was beyond done so I layed him down in his bed. He didn’t like that and cried for maybe 1 minute and was out like a light. I knew he was super tired.

NOVEMBER

I'm sure there is many repeats in this, but at least I have it written down. I wrote down everything in a document and then just copied and pasted it here.

NOV. 2013

Rebels:8

Storm:6

Dad didn’t come.

Tage only touchdown.

Nov.2 

Outside Saturday chores are mainly cleaning up dog mess, blowing and picking up the debris/leaves, sometimes trimming trees, cleaning the chicken coop and straigtening the area around it. But  when they are done - it’s play time! Emmry could ride all day if Tyson would let her! Tage rode his dirt bike for awhile too and then he went to the neighbors house and played basketball.

Oh how I love low key Saturday afternoons!

Nov 4. 

So I am a few days late in starting this, but I wanted to do a grateful paper. My plan it to have this paper sit on the counter all month. Anyone can jot down or draw a picture of things that they are thankful for. I have so much to be thankful for. I can’t wait to see what gets written down!

Nov. 4

Trey is helping me clean my bathroom. I gave him the dirty job of cleaning the toilets. Hahaha. just kidding. I was surprised to turn around and he was IN the toilet with a piece of toilet paper wiping it down. He keeps me on my toes for sure!

Nov. 5

I thought Trey looked like a little stud man in his plaid shirt and jeans so I took a few pictures outside while we were waiting for Tage to come home from school. 

Nov. 5. 

We have had a pretty low key day today. So low key that I think Emmry has been on the iPad a lot. While Trey and I were playing outside I coaxed Emmry to at least come outside with the iPad to get some fresh air. 

Nov. 5

Stickers, stickers, stickers! Emmry covered hers and my leg with Jake and the Neverland Pirate stickers, Silly girl.

Nov. 5

Lite Brite!!!!!

An oldie but a goodie for sure! During Treys nap time Emmry and I made a lite brite iccd cream cone!  

Nov. 6

I really have liked this diaper bag I was given to by my mother in law before Emmry was born. But seeing that it has gone through a rough 3 years  of a daily beatting/use, I figured it was time I retire it. But first I had to destroy it completely to get th fabric off of it which I loved. I have no idea what tI’m going to do while those small squares of fabric, but I really like the fabric and thought that somehow I could do something with it to create a keepsake of my first diaper bag.

Nov. 8

15 month well check appointment for this little man!!!

TOFW

I wasn’t planning of going to TOFW tonight, but my visiting teaching companion mentioned something yesterday about going so I asked if I could hitch a ride with her. It turned out to be a fun night!

Nov. 9

Rebels 6

Raiders: 30

they got crushed!!!!! I wasn;t there because I went to TOFW, but Tyson said that it wasn't a good game at all! horrible game. really. obviously Tage wasn't in his groove. What the heck Tager?!?!?  Better step it up for next weeks play off game!!!!

Nov. 9

Cowgirl is ready!

Nov. 9

100 push ups

100 sit ups

apparently Emmry and Trey wanted to join in on the fun,

Nov. 10

Tyson finally trimmed the tree we have on the west side driveway. Tages job is to haul the branches off to the backyard,

Nov. 11

$4 admissions total = cheap Saturday entertainment.

Horses = happy kids

family fun = Turf Paradise!

Out of the 3 races that we stayed for, not one of us chose the winning horse. In fact, I think that I always picked the horse that came in the bottom 3. I’m glad that I’m not a gambler. I would be broke for sure!

Trey got just as excited to watch the tractors smooth out the track as he did watching the horses!

Nov. 12

Never ending laundry, laundry, laundry.

Nov 13

another sticker fest this afternoon with my sweet Emmry baby!

Nov 14.

Turkey Craft!

I told her to hold her turkey and smile for a picture. She said ok, one. then she took off running, skipping, jumping, and hopping again.

I’m thankful for……

first thing was Rainbow Dash immediately followed by My Little Pony the movie.

I then had to ask her questions and give prompts to other things for her to say that she was thankful for. She kept saying Rainbow Dash as she ran back and forth on the front porch.

Nov. 14

Thanksgiving School Lunch

Even though Tages lunch is right smack in the middle of Treys nap time, he was excited that we were going to come.

My favorite lunch menu- pressed turkey (cold), fake mashed potatoes (cold), canned green beans (cold), hard dry roll (cold), square of pumpkin pie (pretty sure it was half pumpkin half squash) topped with a dollop of whipped topping. But and my most favorite of all favorite parts of it was that I got to use a spork! Yay!

Trey liked the mashed potatoes, and both Emmry and Trey took care of the pie for me. That left me with picking at the pressed turkey and green beans and roll. 

Luckily I had a snack before I went so I wasn't very hungry anyway.

But really the best part of it all was that I got to be with my sweet Tager. I’m so thankful that he is apart of our family.

Nov. 14

I love it when I catch my kids looking at the Friend magazine for fun not just because it is a Sunday.

Nov. 14

I’m glad that Emmry is taking precautions and wearing a helmet when she is running and jumping over Tys legs. I really dont know where this little girl gets her unlimited energy! It’s about 7:30pm. She woke up around 6:00am and has not taken a nap. Sheesh, baby girl! Pass some energy my way!!

Nov. 15

Emmry, Trey and I met Stefanie and Sofie Neumer at the park today, NO special reason just a great day to go to the park!

While at the park, Stef and I used construction paper and cut out a bunch of hearts so we could plaster them on Patsys front door. Our friend Patsy had a D&C today. She miscarried last week and the pills that she started taking weren't working on breaking and getting everything out so the Dr. said she would have to do a D&C to clear it out. 

Emmry and Sofie had fun putting the hearts on wherever they wanted!

Nov. 15

First time this little girl is using a pair of scissors!!!

I love that her tongue is sticking out as she focuses and cuts, too cute.

Nov. 15

Play off games! It was at Sunrise Mountain High School near our house! the first thing Emmry noticed was the horse,

FInal Score

Rebels:6

Storm:21

Tage had the only touchdown. They got creamed. That’s 2 games in a row they have lost! What is their deal?!?!

Either the kids were strapped in the stroller shoving their face full of goldfish and snacks or Trey was keeping me on my toes by running up and down the bleacher and Emmry was admiring her “meigh” (what she calls horse)

NOv. 16

Another great day for a quick  4-wheel ride with Dad!

Nov. 18

Laundry day….again.

After i put trey in and pushed him around, Emmry wanted a ride too. Then when she stood up and pushed down on the divider it ripped. Fun was over. Time to get out.

Nov. 18

Trey was under my feet as I was fixing dinner tonight, I got something out of the fridge and he grabbed a bag of lettuce I had in a ziplock bag. I made sure it was closed and must let him have it to play with so I could get him out of my way as finish prepping dinner. 

Then I looked over and saw this……

Lettuce anyone?.

Nov 19

Emmry wanted to go see Sammy (donkey next door). The kids ended up getting pretty dirty while we were over there so I let them play in the water when we got back.

trey pretty much just sat in the dirt over there and Emmry  ran around getting dirty too.

after they played in the water outside I stripped them down and let them play in warm water inside. Bath time at 4:30?!?! Sure! why not?!

Nov 20

Pump it Up

After going down the huge slide a couple times, Emmry was brave enough to do it by herself. She had a blast!

Ttrey even when down by himself! He was all smiles as he slid down feet first on his belly.

We definitely need to go back soon. these little munchkins had so much fun!

Nov. 20

Hangin out at Tage’s football practice. Singing ‘if your happy and you know it’ and climbing over the pads.

Nov. 21

Emmrys random creation I found today. I love the stack of rummicube tiles and the baby spoon on the side. Emmry makes me smile everyday,

Nov. 21

Turkey turkey turkey trot

3 place winner for this lightening bolt guy!

I forgot to time his 1 mile run, but he did awesome and would definitely beat me in a run any day!

Nov 21

peek a boo

I see you

great hiding spot trey!

Nov 21

Ive noticed lately that Emmry has been using her imagination a lot and talking out loud as she plays with her toys. Today she was up to the table playing with her play doh and talking up a storm with it. I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! I love how cute little kids and their imaginations are.

Nov. 22 friday.

Raining Friday morning calls for lazy morning and jammies 

Nov. 23. saturday.

Tyson sister Rachelle and her 2 daughters, Ellie and Haven, came in town last night for Ellies soccer tournament. Unfortunately the games got cancelled because of all the rain we have and these past 2 days. It literally has been raining non stop since yesterday morning. Rain, rain rain!

We ended up going to Rock Bottom for dinner tonight. I had a good hamburger and onion rings. Yum!

Then Tage went with Rachelle and the girls to see the Hunger Game movie and ty and I went home with the kiddos, put them to bed and had a quiet evening alone.

Nov. 24

We had pancakes for breakfast this morning and Trey got syrup all over the place, even in his hair! His hands were so sticky that they stuck together. When he looked at them he had a confused look on his face. He even poked his face and would get his hand stuck on it and when he would pull it off we would all laugh which made him laugh. it was pretty funny. I tried to capture when he was poking his eye and his eye lid was getting stuck shut. I was laughing so hard I got tears in my eyes!

Nov. 24

Dinner on the table? Sure!

At least he wasn't bugging me while I was trying to eat.

Nov.25

Drawing cousin names for Christmas  for the Judd side of the family. Emmry was the big helper that got to pick the names out of the hat.

I asked her to go get a hat for me to put the pieced of paper in. she runs back in with her cowgirl hat. Oh my cute little cowgirl. I love her.

Nov 27-29 

Las Vegas NV

27:

We left the house at about 7 am for the drive to Las Vegas. I carried the 2 little kids to the car still half asleep hoping that they would fall back asleep. Nope. Wide awake the minute I belted them in.

Nov. 30

Emmry came running into my bathroom this afternoon with a he smile on her face. she said, “Mommy, I got a surprise for you……” and from behind her back she showed me this beautiful flower. She was so excited to give it to me! I smelled it and told her that it smelled wonderful (even though it was nasty) and thanked her for picking such a beautiful flower for me.

thanks for the flower, Emmry! you are so very kind. I love you.
