Our week in Idaho Falls

My husband was going to be gone for three weeks, so I decided that I just didn't want to hang out at home. So the girls and I went to Idaho Falls to hang out with Melyni and Nels and their families. We had a good time. We stayed the night at Melyni's house. She was so nice to let us stay there and let my girls destroy their house. Hopefully my girls didn't really destroy their house. I'm sure their house was a lot more noise. We had fun playing the Wii with them and playing with Cade. He is such a cutie. I had a good time talking with my little sister too, she is one of my best friends. I never thought I would say that until we went to High School together in Mountain Home. Nels and Rachel had to go to Salt Lake for Nels' work so we didn't get to hang out with them until Sunday evening. It was nice to get to hang out with them even though it was only for a couple of days. I packed up our xbox and the game rock band to take over there. So it was fun playing rock band with the family. Tyra and Shelby had a lot of fun playing with Nels and Rachel's girls. On Monday they played outside and even tried to help Rachel with her flower garden. Shelby picked up a sleeping (dead) mouse and brought it to me. Yeah, I freaked out and made her drop it and wash her hands. She is still talking about the sleeping mouse. Tyra had a sleep over with Hazel and Lilie. She thought that was a lot of fun.

While we were there we got to go to the handicap park. It was so fun. Everything was huge so adults can even play on it. The girls had a lot of fun. We also went to the zoo while we were there. That was a lot of fun. The girls loved it. I was surprised Shelby was actually good. I thought I was going to have a lot of problems with her. I did have her on a monkey leash though. After the zoo we went to the Earth day celebration just across the street. We got a lot of free stuff including forget me nots (flowers). The girls are looking forward to planting them this spring. We will see how that goes. It was nice to get a way from our house and animals. Now we are home and I am cleaning like crazy before my husband gets home on Saturday. We are excited to have him home, we miss him so much. I think he might miss us too. The Huge swing

Tyra Spinning, it makes me sick just looking at it.

The Scary hippo, it took Tyra a long time to go inside of it.

What's New

Sorry I have updated in a while. I feel like I don't usually have anything to write about. My life isn't that interesting most of the time. Just stay home and take care of kids. That's about it.

March
So of course we celebrated a birthday in March. My little Tyra turned 5 and isn't so little any more. She is growing up so fast. We had a fun birthday party at Grandma Chick's house. Tyra invited some kids from church and some of her cousins came to the party. Her Grandma Raytha flew up and spent almost a week with us. It was a lot of fun. It was a Wall-e party with a Wall-e cake. She got a lot of really cool presents. Tyra loved it. Once again we were able to get the girl's picture taken this month. They turned out really good.

Tyra also started soccer this month. She likes it, but wishes she could play games instead of just practicing. Maybe in September she can play games. We are just waiting for the weather to warm up so we can go out and play. We have been able to go to the park a couple of times this spring, but we can't wait till we get to go a couple times a week. We love being outside in the warm weather, but who doesn't
We also went out and bought the game Rock Band to go with Jeremy's xbox 360. We all have had a lot of fun playing. Tyra is quite a singer and Shelby loves playing the drums. Jeremy and I compete over the guitar, so I told him he's got to buy me my own guitar for my birthday. I think it would be something fun to do for our family reunion.

April
Ok, April just started. It seems like we have so much going on this month. I enjoyed General Conference very much this weekend. I think I needed it. I just wished Jeremy was here to watch it with me. He always has drill weekend during General Conference. He was able to go to the priesthood section last night.
Well, we started out this month sick. It started with Shelby getting sick, then Tyra and now I have it. I was hoping to start going to the gym on Monday, but I don't know if that is going to happen. I just hope my cold goes away soon. It's not fun being sick and being a mother at the same time.

Today Shelby decided while I was in the shower she was going to get something to eat. So when I got out of the shower I see eggs and strawberries all over the kitchen floor. Shelby was dipping the strawberries in the eggs. I was not a happy person at that point. Being sick and then having to clean up a mess of eggs and strawberries was not what I wanted to do. Let's just say that the girls are having a great time in their bedroom today.
Jeremy will be leaving to Kansas this month for a school. He will be there for 2 weeks and then come home for not even a day and fly down to San Antonio, TX for another school. He will be pretty busy doing that and at the same time trying to get his finals done for college. Hopefully the time he is gone will go by fast. The girls and I are planning on taking a trip to Idaho Falls and staying there a week. We just have to see how the money situation is though. We are looking forward to seeing family for Easter. Even though that is the day Jeremy is taking off. Hopefully we will get to spend some time with family that day. Well I will quit writing and post some pictures and maybe a video, if I can get it to work. I will try to keep up to date on my blog.

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.
