7 Weird Facts


So I've been tagged by a few people, and I don't remember who exactly. Holly and Nathaly for sure though. I've procrastinated for a while because I didn't know what to write, but I'll figure things out.

1. I have to sleep with the fan on. No matter if it's 30 degrees outside, I have to have the fan. I think its because I like to use my blankets but hate to be hot.

2. When driving with other people, I don't care to have music on. I hate turning it down to talk or see what the girls need, I'd rather it just be quiet. Most of the time if I'm alone, its not even turned on unless I'm either in a really grumpy mood and need the distraction, or in a really good mood and wanna sing.

3. When I'm pregnant, I want to eat laundry soap. Lol, no not really. I just LOVE the smell of it (mostly the powder) and would open the container every time I walk by and my mouth would water.

4. I always have to finish off whatever I eat with something sweet. I can eat a whole meal and be completely stuffed, but still crave something sugar.

5. When I wake up from anethesia, I wake up crying. Not because I hurt, or anything, I just do, everytime. Which has been 5 or 6 times.

6. I don't care for chocolate. Sure I'll crave a caramello every now and again, but I could definitely live without it.

7. I have a VERY weak bladder. Lol, I pee when I laugh, I pee when I sneeze, and I especially pee when I'm throwing up. Nothing holds it in, so during morning sickness times, whilst running to the bathroom, I grab a towel, strip my bottoms off, and throw the towel under me because it will come a-flowin!

I'm not tagging anyone because everyone has probably been tagged by now. So if you haven't been tagged and feel like doing it, go right ahead.

24 weeks

I've had a few requests for a belly shot. While I still think its mostly just fat, I'll humor you all anyway.

And here is another one I tried to get of me and Aubrie, but Michael thought it would be funny to jump in the picture and distract Aubs.

Happy Birthday Hailey

So I figured I'd do a birthday post as a tribute to my new 3 year old! Here's just a little bit of information about my Hailey.

Hailey LOVES puzzles. Her cousins J.D. and Zephyr bought her a new puzzle today for her birthday, it's 48 pieces and she has already amost got it down. She definitely has her daddy's puzzle doing brain.
She is still ridiculously afraid of dogs.
Hailey's favorite drink is water. If you ask her juice, milk, or water 9 times out of 1o she'll pick water. Now if you throw soda in the mix, she'd probably pick that, but we'll just refrain from offering that.
She is wonderful at entertaining herself. If I need a nap all I have to do is go ask her to go play upstairs quietly for a little while and she gladly will.
She loves The Little Mermaid.
Her favorite song is Jesus Wants me for a Sunbeam.
Hailey is a social butterfly. She can make friends ANYWHERE.
She loves nature. Always picking up leaves and flowers and anything else outside.
Her favorite cereal is Pops.
She is still scared of the vacuum too. She hates that Aubrie isn't scared of it and always tells her to sit on the couch with her while I vacuum, while Aubs would rather chase it around.
Hailey can be very sensitive. She really hates getting in trouble and she'll get a huge pouty lip and cry if you yell at her.
She is a total Mom. Always making sure Aubrie or any other baby around is happy.
She uses her hands to talk (much like her father).
And she scowls like her mother.
If she wakes up on her own in the morning, she is very pleasant. But if you wake her up, WATCH OUT!

Hailey has always been such a joy in our household! Sure she can be a brat, but she makes up for it in her happy moments. I can't believe she is 3 already!! Before we know it, she'll be in kindergarten. Here are a few pictures from tonights family party we had for her.

Hailey's Party

Hailey wanted to have a little birthday party this year with her church/neighborhood friends. I decided that I would do it while Amy was out here visiting from California, to make it less stressful on me. So we had it on friday, just a week early. She knew that it was her party, but she also knows that she's still 2 for a few more days. If you ask her, she'll say, I 2, but I be 3 in just a couple days, October 17! Or if you ask her if she's almost 3, she'll say, uh huh! My birthday is almost up!!
Anyway, we had a little halloween party with 5 of her little girlfriends. Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment!!

The food: Spider web cupcakes, spider oreos
ghost sandwiches, ghost nutter butters,
and mummy mini hot dogs... YUM!

Her friends and their mommies hanging out!
Payton the bear, Hailey the mermaid, and Taylen the Cow
Hailey opening presents. She totally didn't understand the concept. She would open them, I'd say, Hailey that's from Ashlee and so she'd open it and then hand it back to whoever it was from. She thought it was FOR them, but she was just opening them.
Blowing out her candles
Aubrie thoroughly enjoyed her cupcake! "What do you mean I'm a mess Mom!?"All the girls jumping on the trampoline. I wasn't gonna open the door to outside because it was 40 degrees out there, but they all REALLY wanted to jump. We figured most of their costumes were warm enough
All the costumes were so cute! Payton and her little sister Hadlee were bears. Ashlee was a flower and her little sister Brooklyn was a chicken. Kaitlyn was a Boise State cheerleader. Taylin was a cow (her little sister was sleeping the whole time, no need for a costume). Adalyn had an adorable halloween outfit on . Hailey was ariel and Aubrie was a fairy. Between friends and siblings we had a total of 10 girls and 4 pregnant mommies! WOW!
Thanks to all the mommies, Kendra, Heidi, Tawsha, Carolyn, and Heather for bringing your kiddos and being great friends! Hailey had a blast and loved her presents!
Thanks Amy for being such a great help! Love you!

BSU Game

Michael and I got the opportunity to go see a Boise State Football game on Wednesday. His friend Denver had extra tickets and invited us. We really wanted to go this season, but most games were already sold out, or way too expensive. Anyway, it was a really fun game. We kicked booty, 38-3 Seats weren't bad. It was hot at first, like almost 90, but as soon as the sun tucked around the corner it was perfect weather. It's crazy how loud the stadium is, and how great the fans are! Here are some pictures for your enjoyment. I tried to get one without my double chin, but I guess it's impossible, when you HAVE one. Michaels comment: "Nothing photoshop can't fix honey". Gee thanks.
