Well yesterday we celebrated Parkers birthday (It's not until the 18th) with Rick's family and 4 other nephews and nieces from his family. We decided to do one big birthday bash since there were so many birthdays. We took them to chuckie Ch.eese to celebrate. They had a total blast. They had their cousins to play with and they were at chuckie ch.eese too. Anyway we ate and let them play and then we did our presents.

Well this year we decided to let each parent pick out a present for their child and basically say it is from all the aunts and uncles that way we were not having to have like 50 presents hangin around. So I came across the black spiderman costume (pictured above) at C.ostco and I knew that was the gift for him. He also saw it and went into hysterics because he wanted it sooooooo bad and it was sooooooo cool. So I went back later on Friday evening and bought it for him.

So anyway it was time for him to open his present and as soon as he figured out what is was he was wooohoooin' and dancing around shakin his little booty. It was the most excited I have ever seen him. It almost made me tear up because I was so excited for him.

Needless to say he has not taken the costume off since except to go potty. He has even slept in it. Too cute. Now I have to figure out what to get him for his actual birthday next week. I don't think anything can compare.

Here's all the pics I have promised.

Here they are on the hike to the Timpanogos Caves!!!





This is a picture of my guys before we started our hike to the TOP of the mountain!!!





Okay this is a picture of my little soccer stars on their first game!!



Aren't they SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute??????? I just love them so much!

Here's a new funny!!

Hey guys do this blogthing and let me know what year you belong to.

You Belong in 1990

With you anything goes! You're grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It's all good!

What Year Do You Belong In?

uuuuhhhhggg!!! My house is a disaster.

I swear when the weekends roll around I always want my days off too but I always regret the slacking on my part because no one else will clean up after themselves but me.

I don't know why I always think they will help me on the weekends. I always end up disappointed. I have to give Rick some credit when it comes to the kids. He always helps me with them so I do get a little time to myself. But still am I always the one who has to clean. I get so tired of it.

When I worked full time Rick helped me 50/50 with the housework. I know when I became a stay at home mom I would take on the household responsibilities but c'mon people I am not a slave nor a housekeeper. My little ones will obey me when I ask them to clean up but I cannot get Adam to do anything without a fight. And I shouldn't have to ask Rick but here I sit on a Sunday evening dreading Monday morning.

AHHHH.... The joys of being a mom. What a thankless job. But it is very much the most rewarding. (sometimes)

This is a good one!

This is funny.

What Your Underwear Says About You

You like to think of yourself as innocent, even though you're not! You're comfortable in your own skin - and don't care to impress anyone.

The Underwear Oracle

Waaaay too cute!

Parker just ran in to me in my office and gave me a big ole wet kiss. Then he quickly ran out and said "Daaaaaaaaaad I just kissed your girl" I seriously can't stop laughing at that one.

Super busy, Super sick!!!

Okay I know it was been a while since I posted so lets do a catch up. Uhhmmm let's see the two younger boys (Parker and Dee) started soccer this Saturday. Can I say OH MY GOSH HOW STINKIN CUTE ARE THEY!!! They were so excited to start soccer. They had their first practice on the Friday before. Dee did soooo good. Parker well I think he still might be on the young side. At the game Dee participated the whole time while Parker pooped out after 15 minutes or so. We are just going to continue to let them participate as much as they are comfortable. After all at this age it isn't about winning it is about getting familiar with the sport.

After the game we decided to empty out our storage unit. We originally got it to declutter and then to move the rest of our stuff when we sold our house. Well since we decided to stay we decided it was stupid to waste our money on a storage unit since those puppies aren't cheap.

Then we went to Genola. Rick's parent live there and we had our trailer at their house for awhile. Well since it is creeping up on the deer hunts (less than 3 weeks away) we decided to bring it home and clean it real good. Rick is also going to work on the heater. It stopped working the last time we went out and I refuse to go without again.

Sunday was a super fun but exhausting day. We decided to go to the Timp.anogos Cav.es in American Fork Can.yon. We hiked our butts off. I seriously forgot how hard that hike was. I feel bad because Rick had to carry Dee the entire time. I could barley make it myself. All I had to do is hold Parkers hand the whole time and I thought that was hard. It took us about 90 minutes to get to the cave and it is straight up hill. It took us about an hour to get back down. It was still hard coming back down because it was steep and it hurt the shins a little (when I say a little I meant alot). I ate several snacks along the way but by the time we made it down I had such low blood sugar I was very woozy. Luckily, they had a little snack area. I ordered a personal pizza and french fries. By the time we got home I took my sugars and they were still 67 (norm 80-120) holey cow I ate some serious carbs and I was still too low. Needless to say I was pissed off at this stupid disease I have. I don't want anything to stand in my way of doing anything I want. Everyone says you can live a normal lifestyle with diabetes but I beg to differ. I know I can still do anything I want but I can't do it carefree. I always have to wonder if I am going to go low or If I eat that am I going to be too high. If I hike (which I do alot of) how do I handle it so I don't go too low. I know I am supposed to eat an extra 15 carbs for 30 minutes of exercise so I know how to calculate it but DAMNIT why should I have to. Sorry about the little rave I am still having issues with this whole diabetes thing.

Monday--- Well Monday was not so good. Can you say BARF!!!! Yeah that's what I was doing all morning. I hate to puke. I was sick most of the day and my legs HURT! I was so sore on Monday it literally felt like I was having charley horses every time I would move my legs.

Tues-- Well I felt alot better today. I am still a little sore but I can handle it today. So I decided today was the day I was going to start school clothes shopping. Shoot me in the head now what was I thinking. I took all three boys to kh.ols to get some shoes. It took us over an hour to pick out shoes for everyone and we still ended up not getting any for Adam. We had to go over to famou.s f.ootwear. We finally found some cute (I mean cool) ones there. Then when Rick got home from work me and Adam decided to go to Park City to the outlet stores. I seriously finished all three boys school clothes shopping today. Yeah I know I ROCK! I can't believe I did it. I was determined to beat the crowds and the weather was a little cloudy so the temps were awesome. The only sucky part about the whole trip was the drive back down provo canyon in the dark. I seriously can't see more than 10 feet infront of me in the dark. The canyon is also under a whole lot of constuction so the lines in the roads are crap. When I got home tonight I hurt from being so tense. But all in all it was a successful day.

I have pics to post but I can't locate my camera. I think Adam has it in his backpack and it is late so I don't want to bug him. I will post tomorrow.

Congratulations if you made it to the end of this post.
