This is what happens....

.....When you leave a man in charge!!! I walked in the door tonight to Brylee doing this. Great art work but not for the walls! I was like "Oh dear" and Broc's over in the recliner saying "What?" casually watching tv. Then he stood up and said "Ooohhhh....oops, she must be fast because I have been watching her." Riiiiigggggght! We took pics of the pantry door and dishwasher and then started scrubbing with the amazing Magic Eraser and discovered it on about 3 cabinet doors, a few tiles, floorboards, the oven, etc. Yea and he was watching her? Lol. All I can do is laugh because I really didn't care but Broc thought he was in deep crap with me. It's just Crayola, I knew it was fine but I love scaring a man when he thinks he's caught not watching the kiddies. HAHA!!! That's my fun adventure for the night.

Fun at Bear World!

Today we went to Bear World With G'ma and G'pa Genta. The kids had so much fun! We couldn't believe how many bears there were. Every animal Brylee saw she said "I want to hold it!" Definately worth it to go, we had a great time!

Personality plus....

Payson is getting such a fun personality. He is so smiley, cuddly, bubbly and so much more!

Lately he loves to be on Brylee's bed because he feels so big. They love to put in cd's and dance and jump on the bed.

Here's a nice big smile showing those pearly whites off!

This picture was not so happy, they were jumping around and hit heads:( Payson is a little upset if you couldn't tell.
Brylee is fake sleeping and thinks it is so funny to do this and always ask "huh?" whenever you ask or tell her anything.

He is also getting very brave and reaches for the bedposts.

And this picture I'm so glad I caught him doing this on my camera! When you tell him to be a "sweet baby" he cocks his head to the side like this and it is so cute!

Excuse the nakedness but I just wanted to share his cuddly side.....hehe. He's so dang sweet and if he sees a pillow he will crawl over and lay on it, like so. He was cold because he has just got out of the tub:)

Friendly reminder....

I just want to remind anyone who's email I did not get to please get that to me ASAP!!! I promise I am still going private it's just a matter of me being home for more than an hour to do so. I hopefully can work on that this weekend so I just want to ask anyone who wants to be added to PLEASE get me your email! Thanks a million.

Zzzzzzz....

The title describes how I am feeling after my second night of "Night school"! This makes for an almost 13 hour day at school and I am soooooo tired and pretty emotional because I haven't seen my kids for about two days. I don't know how I have the energy to even check my blog at night but it is something to look forward to because I just love all of you! Anyways only 5 more weeks instead of 6 so that is good news I recieved yesterday. I only do nights on Tue, Wed, and Thurs so it's not all that bad but still pretty dang hard! I'm so glad that I have so many friends at school or I don't know how I would make it through the day, and I also have lots of great clients who make my days so fun and go so fast so Thanks!!!

I just want to tell Broc THANKS SOOOO MUCH!!!! I love you more than you will ever know and I am so grateful for how hard you work for all that we have, and also so that I can accomplish getting my schooling done! I have the greatest husband and I hope he knows that! Sometimes it's not easy for the men to do the "babysitting" of the kiddies because it seems to be more of the motherly role, but Broc does pretty dang good and the kids love to be with him. (See pics below for example) What a good dad he lets Brylee do his hair and then he let me take a picture! We'll see how he handles it being on the blog:) Lookin good Hun, Love Ya!!!

Princess Brylee....

Here is an update on Princess Day......Brylee was in Heaven!!! She wouldn't even talk to anyone, she just sat so still while they did her hair. She was so stinkin cute! It was just funny because she was so serious about the whole thing. It was a very big deal for her!




So Pretty!





This was the closest I could get her to smile!

....With the Princesses and still NO SMILE! I couldn't believe it!

Even though she wasn't smiling outside I could tell she was inside, I had to practically drag her out, she didn't want to leave. And to top all that off she even got to play outside all day because it was actually NICE here today for once! A good day for the Princess.

6 weeks to go.....

I just wanted to be able to share my good news.............only 6 more weeks of school!!!!! I'm so excited I can't even tell you! I do have to do Days and Nights to get done that soon so I will be at school 50 hours a week:( Kind of a bummer but I don't have a choice if I want to be done in time to take my State Boards in June. I just hope Broc can handle the kids 3 nights a week.....that ought to be interesting. Oh and I wanted to share with all of you out there with little girls and boys that this Saturday at the school they are having "Pirates and Princesses Day". It is really fun because for the girls it is $8 to get an updo, nails painted, and makeup. For the boys it is $6 to get a tattoo, crazy hair and makeup (which I'm guessing is parate type makeup, I don't know?) Brylee loves Princess anything so I am going to take her in her princess dress so she can have a little fun, it will be our mother-daughter time for me to give her all my attention, since it's hard to find time for a whole lot of that these days around here. And all procedes go to Charity ( I promise I'm not trying to advertise). So wish me luck in the 6 weeks to come and hopefully I don't pull all my hair out by the end!;)

-remember to leave me your email all of you who have not done that yet!

Going Private....

After much consideration and thought, Broc and I have decided that it is for the best if we go private. There are a few more of you out there doing the same thing and it has made me stop and think alot about it. I love that so many people have found me and that I can keep in touch with so many of you! I am sad to do this mainly because it holds back the chance of more of my long lost friends and even new friends I might come in contact with. I have two beautiful children and a sweety husband who I am wanting to protect by doing this. I would love to add anyone out there to my blog list if you are not on it and I definately want everyone who is on it now to please give me their email addresses so that I can get this accomplished in the next couple weeks. Please don't be affraid to come out of the dark because I myself have looked at many blogs and love to do it, I am addicted! It's kind of my way at the end of the day to wind down and have my "alone time". I have loved getting to know all of you better and for all the inspiration I recieve through many of yours blogs. So again please leave your email address if you are interested in staying in touch! Thanx a bunch!!!

Favorite places....

This week Payson took his first steps and I am sad that I have no evidence to share, but I promise he did and sometime soon I will try to capture it on my camera. He is very mobile and never stops going so tonight he seemed to be into everything and I can't seem to keep my house in an orderly state with this little guy cruisin around, plus his big sis makes her own messes and that's another story......but I wanted to share some of Payson's favorite places around the house which he seemed to visit them all tonight. There is one more which is the shelf at the lower part of my end tables, but I didn't catch him climbing into those tonight.

1) He always gets into the garbage so we put on some childproof hinge things that are supposed to keep him out, right? Well Broc decided not to make sure this one was on right and it happens to be the one where the garbage is! So he still gets into this favorite little place until daddy will fix the problem.



2)There is no doing the dishes unless Pays is involved......He loves to unload and can do it as fast as the thing is being loaded.(someday I swear this dishwasher door is going to fall right off)

3)He and his big sis love to play under the table and I think I vacuum under there once or twice just in the evening when I'm home. (actually it's usually the whole kitchen) Thank Heavens for my Central vac!

......So there is Payson in a nutshell just being mischevious and making sure mom always has something to clean up after. No wonder I don't go to the gym....I have no energy after all this!

Random Tag....

I was tagged by Annalee: 7 Random things you don't know about me-

1)I hate when I can hear someone chewing their food......DRIVES me CRAZY!
2)I have a thing for Alan Jackson (Broc took me to his concert in February and I had just read the awesome book his wife wrote called "It's all about him" (great book I recommend it for all married couples to read)
3)I don't like meat....
4)this goes along with number 3... I can't eat my food in a dark room, car etc., because I stare at every bite I take because I hate getting any fatty, grissly bites (this is mostly with hamburgers) and Broc laughes at me if I'm stuck in a dark place with food cuz I just can't eat it! weird I know...
5)I am scared to DEATH of spiders....even the little house ones. We get our house sprayed about once or twice a year.
6)I have super long eyelashes and everyone asks if they are fake....like I would take the time to put on fake ones every day, I can hardly stand to put mascara on at all!
7)I am a huge stresser and have to be on time for everything! Me and Broc are complete opposites in this area...well actually in most....but I get really uptight about being late.

-I know I'm kind of a freak!:)

One Year checkup....

Today poor little Payson had to experience the "One year Well-Baby check" where he recieved 5 immunization shots! Grandpa Genta told him he looked like a christmas ornament when he saw the 4 silver shiny bandaids on his little legs. I forgot his appointment last week and so today Broc took him for me and he didn't want to because he knows how the screaming process goes after the shots.....(men don't handle that as well).

Weight: 18 lb. 1 oz. They told Broc he was in the 1 percentile for weight! That has got to be wrong, he is small but I don't think he is that small. So it sounds like we need to put him on a little diet to gain some weight. He just doesn't have the appetite that his big sis does. Skinny or not we love him just the way he is!
