Don't be a Sour puss!

I think it was three years a go that I was leaving my little Ashlee ( I was a nanny) and returning home to Grand Junction, That was a really hard time, I loved ( still do ) that little girl, but felt like it was time to be back in Colorado, now three years later I am married with 4 children ( my little niece has joined our family) and I feel like I have been a wife and Mom forever! Sometimes I feel like I have no time to myself, it gets a little mundane, but then I have to stop and think that it won't be this way forever, and when I look back I will miss this time when my children are young and innocent, that is hard to remember when I am trying to cook, do homework and am listening to screaming babies all at the same time, but I am blessed beyond words and am very grateful for my little family. Soooo.. now that I have sounded like a sappy nut, on to my real topic for my blog.....

Sourpusses, yep that's right I said sourpusses! Today in sacrament meeting my wild but yet adorable niece Mady was trying to give kisses to the people behind us, and they just sat there with stoic faces, and not only that, they kept letting out sighs like they were annoyed. It would have creeped me out if they would have actually kissed her, but come on people acknowledge a cute little girl. Darn Sourpusses!!!! Ben had a good day at church, he is so cute I love that he looks for me, he is going to start sleeping in his own bed soon, it makes me sad I love having him in the room with me. I bet those sourpusses put there kids in there rooms at birth:(  DARN SOURPUSSES!!! :) 

BEN, MADY AND A LITTLE PROTIEN IN THE DESERT

Our little Benjamin turned three months yesterday, He celebrated by having a little to much formula to drink and partied in his bouncy till all hours in the morning.. ( my ill attempt at humor) I can't believe how much he is growing and learning, he holds his head up very well, and smiles and squeaks and rolls over and we love him so much! He has discovered his feet and they keep him quite busy:)

Another exciting thing happened yesterday, my Mom finally received permanent custody of my 14 month old niece Madysen, that is truly an answer to a lot of prayers, Mady's Mom is a Meth addict and a very disturbed girl, Mady has lived with my Mom pretty much since she was born.... We also love her very much and are grateful she is safe and in a loving environment:) Not to much else is happening, I am going 4 wheeling in the rhino tomorrow with my friend Katie... I can't wait to go speeding through the desert, wind in my hair, bugs in my teeth:)

Memories

1. Leave a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember.

2. Next, re post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool. ( and funny) to see the responses. If you leave a memory i will assume you are playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

More Randomness from a bored housewife

Well it has been a while since my last blog, update on the dog situation, it wasn't the neighbors I thought it was, actually I talked to her and she is very nice, just shy..... she told me she thought it was her neighbor, because she had heard her complaining about the dog, oh well, I am over it..... people are rude!!!

I don't really have much to blog about, the kiddo's are all doing great, Ben is up to 13 pounds and he is smiling now, he is doing better with his crying and has discovered he can suck on his hands:) Nick and Heather are happy to be back from Texas ( Their Mom had fleas in her carpet, probably from the EIGHT dogs she owns) Maddy is doing well also, My mom goes to court on the 14th to get custody, I hope all goes well.. Maddy is a blessing and we consider her half ours! :) 

I had to give a talk in church a few weeks a go..... not fun.. I really don't like giving talks, I like the preparing.. I usually learn a lot, but the actual giving is awful, my hands shake, my voice quivers and my lips do this weird shake thing... I am sure I look like the lost love child of Elvis and Katherine Hepburn..... But the talk is over and I figure I have about another year before I have to give another one:) 

We are fixing up our house ( slowly but surely) it is exciting and nerve racking at the same time, I have always struggled with patience, but someday it will be done:0 It already looks a lot better! 

I am done rambling now.... Peace out( sorry Crystal) 

FREAKING NEIGHBORS

I despise neighbors... Actually let me rephrase, I despise ignorant mean sneaky neighbors. I had a note on my door today that said in big letters PLEASE READ, and it was a mean letter about our dog ( actually my husbands dog) It asked us if our ears worked? Ya, so does my middle finger.. I know turn the other cheek, but come on.. just come over and talk to us, it also said they were going to get video proof of her barking... Big deal, from the looks of the letter I am not sure they can operate a video camera... dumb asses! I don't like the dog in question, she is old and smelly and probably should be put out of her misery.. But they could have come and talked to us, not threaten us... I have a feeling it is these not so friendly new neighbors across the street, but I am not sure. I wanted to go and ask them if they wrote it but I am afraid I will lose my temper, so I will just glare at them tomorrow ( yeah I have something to look forward too:) 

Some people are stupid! I bet they feel very important right now, I would like to egg there house, but I won't...... I don't think:)

Blah blah

Ben will be one month on Saturday, It  has gone by fast and slow, I don't know how to explain it, all of my days the last month have all run together, I have also been taking care of my niece Mady two nights a week, it goes pretty smooth until dinner time and then they both want fed, I am here a lone so it gets interesting to say the least. (Sigh) All in a day I guess. I miss Nick and Heather, I never thought I would say this, I miss Heathers little voice rambling on..............and on..............and on.................................. Heather has a voice kinda like Betty boop if she were to take a hit off of a helium balloon, it can grate a little, also she never stops talking, she even talks in her sleep :) Usually I tell her "I need five minutes" that means she has to be quiet for five minutes so I can regroup and prepare for the next round of questions and observations....  I really do miss it:) Nick sounds ready to come home... if I was a bad Mom I would let him have a big "I told you so" But I won't.... 

Ben looks to me like he is three months old, he is a big boy, maybe he will grow up to be a famous linebacker or something and make his lovely Mom and Dad rich:) I am sure he is well over ten pounds, I can't stop kissing him, he has the chubbiest cheeks that are great for Mommy kisses ( and Daddy too) He seems to like his bath the last couple of days, he lounges until we take him out of course, then.. well you know:) 

Texas, Ben and fat bottom girls :)

Well I am sad to report that my kiddo's are on there way to Texas for the summer, they changed their little minds and went..... There Mom seemed okay to me, a lot happier then in the past still crazy  though, but she seemed to pay attention to them and I hope she will try harder to get to know them. Chris and I prayed really hard abut it, and both came to the conclusion that she is their Mom and they had the right to go.... Sad.... I hope they have fun! :)

We are enjoying the newest addition to our family, I have probably taken over a hundred pictures of him:) I can't get enough kisses onto those chubby Little cheeks! And I feel great! I had a C section, I had a friend tell me " I am sorry you didn't get to experience labor" I'm NOT!!! I basically drove to the hospital and poof he was there 5 hours later:) I was sore for the first week, but now I feel great! I was under the care and watchful eye  for a while from C-dawg ( shout out to ya C-dawg) I am even going to start exercising this week, You would think I would dread that, but I had a really bad experience in my Doctors office that has lead me to want to get under my pregnancy weight before I go back to see him ( in three weeks) I over heard two "nurses" discussing my weight, in a not so nice way. Sigh..... So I have a goal:)
