Painted the house

We've been here for 3 1/2 years and I couldn't decide on a color, was scared of the cost, and the high ceilings/beam. But I finally got over all of it and we painted our boring dirty white walls! It's was only about $250 and with brandons work ladders we were able to reach all the high spots. 

Toilet flooded the house while brandon was at work. Brother swain in the ward came for 3 hrs and fixed it. Cleaning up all the water sucked.

Matix

When two people bonk heads they should call it head to head, and head butt should be when someone's head hits another's butt.

Matix told me he's been farting on girls in his first grade class, one told his teacher and she blew it off saying its natural haha.

Matix was sitting in the front seat as I reach back to buckle Braden who we carpool Matix tickles my side. Little sneak. He's been watching daddy 

Krews blowing on my stomach over and over again... Matix yells out of nowhere oh.. Light it up Krew, light it up! 

Krew memories

Krew 13 months ,We were at sportsmanship wear house in at George. Krew was sitting in the seat of the shopping cart (which was empty) Matix was pushing him and then stood on the front bar.. All the weight made the cart flip and krew was falling forward. I was standing right there so I was able to slow the cart down but it still tipped all the way forward. Luckily krew was more scared than actually hurt. 

Krew fell off my bed and hit his head on the edge of my nightstand. Split his left eyebrow close to his nose. Poor baby was bleeding a lot.

One day Matix noticed Krews right pinky nail was purple and bumpy and about a week later his nail fell off, we are pretty sure he got his finger slammed in the door.  

When Krew was about a year old I was babysitting a 2 yr old in our ward. Channing Harris, he picked up krew from behind at his neck. Matix saw and yelled for me I ran in and saw krew all purple just below Channing and he started throwing up a little. Thank goodness for Matix watching over his little brother. It was so scary to think what could have happened. Channing had no idea what he was doing. 

Krew 21 months climbed on Brandon's nightstand and picked up a 15 lb box of records. Brandon dead asleep, felt printed wakes up and stands up facing Krew as he falls backwards with the box of records. Brandon catches him. He would have had a huge fall with all the records smacking him to the ground. Heavenly Father is looking out for you baby boy

Got krew a new outfit at the store

Had Pizza at Costco

Got ice cream and cupcakes.

He is Adorable, smart, funny, friendly, cuddly, tough, and one of the happiest little boys around. We love him to pieces! Happy Birthday Krew Baby 

Bounce U 6/23

We celebrated Matix and Bryns birthdays with the Huntsmans the week after

The big kids did their own thing

 We mostly stayed by these munchkins

Matix helping sister

Wind tunnel

Krew climbed over this no problem. Most babies would have face planted. I was proud!

 

Life

Drove all the way to the temple only to find it was closed. Since I didn't have my kids I went to the dmv kiosk only to find I couldn't use it since my license already expired. I was exhausted today so these to rubbed my feet while Krew was napping. 

Trent came over for a haircut and I dropped my clippers. So as I try to fix them I slice my finger really bad. And have to attempt his haircut with my peanut. Then we went down to church and organized the nursery.. Toys and cabinets. 

Matix the Hairstylist

I was doing missionary haircuts downstairs, Brandon was up in our room, and these two were in the playroom, getting haircuts. 

Matix did Bryns and then his own. They walked in to show dad with huge smiles on their faces. So proud. Till dad didn't seem so pleased. They came down and showed me. I was shocked and giggled a little, then saw Bryns and got pretty sad. 

her top layer was chopped and since her top straight hair is where her length comes. I took about an inch and 1/2 just by trimming layers. Now it shows of her curls that have been hiding underneath though. And Matix has Never had his hair this short. We did a 2 on top. As you can see they are still Adorable. 

Celestials 26th Birthday

Woke up enjoyed riding bikes in the rainy weather. 

Went shopping at Marshalls While Mom And Alisha helped with my kids.

My mom naught us Chipotle, kids had mcdonalds at the park.

Brandon surprised me with my new gun. Amber and Jared watched kids while we went shooting. 

I shot 15yrds away and hit the target all 7 rounds my first time using it. I'm in love! 

Then we all went to Gravady! Matix did some sweet front flips, mine weren't to bad either. But Daddy through out an Awesome double, along with back flip off the Trapeze. We had a blast. 

Bret and Tammys 35th

We made dinner, played newlyweds game,

and spoke of our love for Bret and Tammys relationship and wonderful example. I've never seen Brandon so emotional in our 7 years of marriage. He shared his love for his father always treating Tammy so well and never letting anyone disrespect her. How everyone who knew Bret would say, "He's a big guy and he's a Great guy. I heard how Tammy was always supportive in Bret serving others while she watch the children. How they never spanked but the one time Bret did he felt guilty and bought the kids doughnuts to ask their forgiveness. How they taught their children while they were young, but trusted them to make correct choices as they got older. They shared their love for us to. It was a great night full of laughter and happy tears. I kept thinking how blessed I am to be a part of such an amazing family. We Ended it with cheesecake and a dance party.

This is a poem I wrote for them.... Marraige isn't always easy, we know first hand.

But you make it look that way,Through many trials you withstand.

We never see you argue, Instead find common ground.

You apoligize quickly... that's where love abounds.

Some of the greatest qualities a man would only hope for..

Amazing cook, beautiful, nurturing, and frugal.

When it comes to a true man, Its a hard worker who provides.

Righteous, respectful, brings out the queen she is inside.

The two of you have set such a great example, Marraige before God inside the temple.

And from there raising a family so righteously...

Made life and love flow more easily.

Raising 5 children wasn't the easy route,

But you chose to anyway, without a single doubt.

With each child you had to dig deeper inside of you, To find the love and patience you never even knew.

They all turned out exceptional, Well... the youngest may be a little questionable.

But you've taught your children so much, even to this day,

always putting each other first... There is no better way.

We see so many qualities that make you a perfect match... Know how greatful we are you chose to make that love last.

It's made all the difference in our lives,

35 years is Amazing! But for you two.. it's really no surprise.

Poems

Okay, so we all know the drill...

Baby poops, the diapers filled.

Sadly sometimes it seeps out.

Don't you worry, No need to pout.

A little water, and soap scrub should do.

Those baby clothes will be back to new!

Grocery shopping

Grocery shopping the 1st day of the month! Worst idea ever! Everyone on welfare is there with multiple carts! Just got there checks and stocking up. Thank goodness I have 2 helpers. They love loading the groceries.

 And I always get compliments what big helpers they are.  This was the first time Matix took Bryn to the potty while I was loading groceries. I was so thankful, they're becoming more independent!
