2009

Sorry it's been a while. I haven't been much of a writer lately. I guess I feel I don't have a lot to write about.
Well, I am glad that 2008 is over. That year was crazy. So now it is time to start a new year. I really hope 2009 is better and not so busy. We haven't done a whole lot this month. I guess it just started. Jeremy and I spent our New Years eve and early New Years day at a church Stake Dance. Jeremy DJ's for the dance. I think he likes it. It was nice to spend that time together talking about what songs to play next and making fun of the teenagers. My mother was nice enough to watch the girls while we went to do that. Me and my mom just got back that day from Idaho Falls. We there for a couple of day to see my little sister and her cute little baby boy. I wish we could have stayed longer, but we probably would have driven them crazy. My little girls were crazy that whole time. Which has been going on a lot lately.

Shelby is going through a faze (i hope) with throwing fits. She throws them when she doesn't get her way, when she just wakes up, or sometimes I think she throws them just to throw them. She is also a screamer. Lately whenever we leave the store (walmart mostly) Shelby screams and crys as loud as she can while we are going out the door. I just worry people think that we are kidnapping her. I just don't know how to get her to stop.

Then we have a little 4 year old with an attitude. She is always trying to boss everyone around. Other then that Tyra is usually pretty good. We haven't gotten Tyra to go back to pre-k yet. For some reason she is terrified to go back to school at Grand View. She is doing really good at home though. She is reading books. Not just little pre-k books, she is reading 1st grade level books. Now if we can only get her to write her name. She is learning the days of the week and the months. She is also trying to figure out time and money. She is always willing to learn.

Well, we had a wonderful Christmas with my family. We got to see my sister Tracy and her family. That was a lot of fun. I always like to see the Moore family. They are so fun. My nephews are getting so big. My brother Erik and his family was there too. So it was a nice little Christmas day. The girl's got a lot of new stuff. Tyra got a V-Smile and she loves it. It was good to be around family. The kids got to go sledding. There uncle Tom pulled them around on the 4-wheeler. The kids loved that. We got a ton of snow at our house. My parents couldn't even get out of their drive way. The drifts were so big you could go sledding down them. Uncle Tom had a lot of shoveling to do. It was nice to finally have snow on Christmas eve and day.

Well this month is going by slow. I guess that is a good thing. We have a lot of appointments and meeting to go to this month so I'm sure it will speed up. I hope everyone will have a wonderful 2009. I will try to be better about writing.

It's been a while.

Sorry it has been a while since I have written. Not a whole lot to talk about I guess. Once again October has been a little crazy. Jeremy started school. That is really good, he's been having a hard time getting in school and now finally he was able to. My little sister came to hang out with us for a few weeks. That was a lot of fun. I'm sure we were pretty boring. We didn't do a whole lot. We hung out with our good friend Shannon. That was a lot of fun. We went to the park a couple of times. That's good for me because the girls get to get some fresh air and have lots of fun. Other then that we just stayed home. We added another addition to our family. We had a stray cat show up at our house. He was fixed and didn't have anything wrong with him, so we kept him. He's a very pretty cat. We named him Max. The vet said she thought he was only a little over a year old. He is huge he weighs 11 lbs 7 oz. He is very nice, he hasn't scratched or bite the kids. We really like him.

We had a good Halloween. We went to trunk or treat on the 30Th at our church. That was really fun. Then we went trick or treating on base on Halloween. Shelby was pretty excited. She figured it out real fast. All she had to do is knock on the door and say trick or treeaat! and she got candy. She thought it was really fun. Tyra on the other hand was still a little scared this year. We had a lot of fun.
Yesterday we got to go to the girls cousin's birthday party at boondocks. That was a lot of fun. Tyra loved playing games. She got 95 tickets. She wanted to get a bunch of little dinosaurs that were 5 points each, but I made her get something that was 75 points and then she could get the rest in dinosaurs. I don't need a bunch of little dinosaurs running around my house. I got go on this virtual roller coaster ride with my mom. That was so funny. This ride makes you go upside down and side to side. It was fun. Mom laughed the whole time. She also had her earring popped out, we found it though. It really was a lot of fun. Tyra loves hanging around her cousins. We will have to go to boondocks again when the weather is better and do the go carts and go miniature golfing.

I'm not sure how our November will go. Right now Shelby is sick and I hope she gets better soon. I think we are planning on going to Northern Idaho in the middle of the month. We will see. We have lots of Vet and Dr appointments this month. I also have to call to see if I have Jury duty this month. Not excited about that.

September

Well, September has been another crazy month. It has been fun though. My little baby Shelby is now 2 years old. So she is now a toddler. We had a little birthday party for her on Monday. It was fun to have our friends there. She got a lot of cool presents. We bought her a scooter and she loves it, so does her big sister.

Raytha came to visit for a little while. It was nice seeing her. We ended up going to the air show last Saturday. That was pretty neat. Jeremy had to work at the air show by showing some military vehicles. So we went and seen him and the girls got to sit in the truck that he was showing. We also went into a huge air plane. That was neat.

We took the girls to Boise on Tuesday and got their pictures taken. They turned out great. Grandma and Grandpa Chick picked out their outfits and they are super cute. We didn't have to much of a problem getting the girls to get their picture taken. It actually went pretty fast.

We are getting ready for Jeremy to leave for Yakima. He will be gone for almost a week and then come home for a few days and then leave again for almost a week. We will miss him while he's gone, at least we will get to see him in between. That is pretty much what is going on right now. I thinkour October will be not as crazy.

First day of school

Today was Tyra's first day of school. She was really excited. She is now in Pre-K. So it should be a fun year for her. She gets to learn more. She was happy to see her friends from last school year. While Tyra is at school Shelby and I get to go hangout with people in our church ward. They have a play group on Wednesday and Friday, so that will keep us busy.

Other then that our month of September is going to be busy. I hope October will be less busy.

Twin Falls Temple

Here are a couple of pictures of the Twin Falls Temple. It is so beautiful, in the inside and outside. I just wished we were in a smaller group with less childern. It is still a beautiful place.

Update

Sorry I haven't kept up with the blogging thing. It's been kind of crazy this month. My girls have been sick and are just getting over it. I'm just glad I don't have to clean up throw up any more. Jeremy and I went to the Twin Falls Temple yesterday. It was so nice and beautiful. Jeremy got some really good pictures of the outside of it with his phone. I'll have to see if he can e-mail them to me so I can post some pictures. It was nice to just hangout with him without the girls. We needed a break since the girls have been sick.
I hung out with my little sister all last week. That was fun, but we weren't very exciting. We went bowling with our friend Shannon. That was a lot of fun. We need to do it again sometime. I've been going back to the gym. I also haven't been eating as much, and I've lost 11 lbs. I've been pretty excited about that. We don't really have a lot planned for this month. Probably just sit back and see what happens.

First Time

I made bread for the first time on Tuesday. I was pretty excited. I made whole wheat bread. It was a lot of fun to make. It tasted pretty good. I know they doesn't look perfect, but it was my first time.
