Halloween 2009

We had a really busy but fun Halloween! I was trying to clean because I couldn't stand the sight of my dirty bathroom anymore that always goes really well with Kinsley trying to help! We met Brandon's family at Chili's at 4:00 p.m. after we drove to Kaysville to take Brandon a change of clothes since he forgot. Kinsley didn't really get a nap so she was just wonderful at the restaurant. I was all ready irritated after trying 10 or 15 times to get Kinsley to sit long enough to get a decent picture of her and the girls. At the restaurant she didn't want to sit either and she screamed like I had just stabbed her because I took her snack cup away since she was only throwing her snacks on the floor. When the finally brought her food she wouldn't really eat but it a good thing she loves coloring or the whole meal would have been a disaster. She has never acted like that so I hope she's not starting her terrible 2's early. (Hopefully I can keep my sanity through that)! Next we headed off to the trunk or treat at the school by our house and I was dreading it since Kinsley was acting so naughty. She really surprised me I expected her to just want to run away from us like she had been at Chili's and throw a fit because she couldn't eat her candy until the end. Instead she held onto Daddy's hand with one hand held her bucket in the other and just walked along with a big old grin on her face. She loved it! When she was all done she plopped down right in the middle of the parking lot and dug into her bucket for "Yum Yum's," as she calls anything she really likes. What a kid! Later that night the monster in her came back out and when she had to go to bed she was so unbelievably tired that she threw the biggest tantrum ever! This caused her to get big welt looking hives all over her face like a weird rash. We didn't dare to put her to bed since we weren't sure if she was having an allergic reaction to something so then we got to deal with her even longer. It was my fault because she was so over tired but how was she going to go to sleep with kids pounding on the door and ringing the doorbell all night. We waited until the rash was gone and it was around 9 or 9:30 Makayla put a sign on the door that read. "Baby sleeping, ran out of candy Happy Halloween!" I stayed up and folded laundry and Brandon went to bed! Thank goodness the night was over before I lost my mind!

Jada's 9th B-day

Jada had an awesome Birthday! We went to the park with just the family the kids played and we got to visit. We opened presents and had cake and ice cream. I decided having a friend party every other year is plenty. The kids had lots of fun and Jada got very spoiled. When her uncle Scott and Sydney drove up with a 4 wheeler in the back of their truck she thought they had gotten it for her. What a nice present! She didn't think she was getting one because we told her we couldn't afford it and we can't but what the heck. Everyone else had a 4 wheeler to ride but her so we had to get her one and she was so excited I've never seen her go so crazy over a present.

Makayla's 14th B-day

I can't believe my little girl is 14. Wow I really feel old and I hope that saying isn't true that your only as old as you feel because I must be going on 80.j/k only some days. Well my beautiful daughter is growing up so fast and I'm praying I will make it through the teenage years without being put into the crazy house! She is a really good girl but she's a girl and for all of you with daughters you know what I mean. I don't have any comparison cuz all I have is girls but whatever even if you don't have girls you know what I mean. Makayla and 3 friends went to frightmares and then came home to shove their faces with cupcakes and ice cream, candy and Carmel apples. Yum Yum! Then they watched a scary movie because young girls always love scary movies. I know I did! They had Edward in with them to watch over them thanks to grandma Woolf she really surprised her! She got a darling shirt jewelry, chocolates,a life sized Edward and tickets to the premier of New Moon she also had a new moon cake. What a birthday this girl has had. She gets one all weekend long Friday, Saturday, and Sunday what a spoiled brat.j/k She loves her new cell phone and all her other gifts thanks everyone!

Cancun Trip 2009

Trip to Cancun

Well I know I haven't blogged for a thousand years or so but it's not because I haven't wanted to. This summer has been a lot of fun but very chaotic it seems like we have atleast 2-3 going on a week no exageration! I am so exhausted I almost fell asleep standing up at work last week! Anywho back to my amazing vacation! We left early Saturday morning on the 20th of June. My mom came to my house and stayed with our girls she is the best. The flight seemed like forever but it's really just because I don't do well sitting for long periods of time. A little over 4 hours we arrived at the tropical paradise. Cancun is a beautiful place and I can't wait to go back someday. We really appreciate Brandon's parents inviting us to go it was a blast! The whole vacation we slept in late, relaxed by the pool or at the beach and went to fancy restaurants. What more could you ask for it was definitley my kind of vacation. No kids and just relaxing, shopping, and eating good food it was paradise! If you ever go to Cancun you have to go to the Coco Bongo it is the most amazing club I've ever been to in my life. It was like a Vegas show combined with a dance club with live entertainment all night. We had a great time and wished Brandon's parents would have joined us but the thought they would be the oldest people there but we felt pretty young so next time they said they would go for sure. We had a little bad luck on Tuesday. We decided to go see Transformers since it was coming out that day. We decided to take the city bus since Ryan and Renee hadn't before. It was only 75 cents instead of paying 10-20 dollars for a cab ride to most places. Well it actually ended up being a very expensive bus ride since Brandon's dad left his backpack on the bus. When we went to get off he jumped up so we wouldn't miss our stop and left it in his seat. He realized right as the bus had left but it was to late and we didn't know the bus # or anything but we were hoping for a good someritan to find it and turn it in. No such thing on a city bus it's mostly the locals that ride it so we figured we'd see someone selling our stuff on the beach the next day. Ryan had his wallet, IPOD, his camera and our camera all gone it was awful. He had such a good attitude about it he figured there wasn't anything he could do about so not to get upset. It's a goood thing it wasn't me it would have ruined my whole trip and I would have wanted to go home. Well what can I say crap happens and you have to have something exciting to tell everyone when you go home and this was quite the adventure! We had such a wonderful time and we really missed our girls but it was good to get a break for a week. I needed it!

Too busy to blog!

Sorry I know it has been forever since I've blogged but my life has been absolutely crazy and even more hecktick than usual! As most of you know I was diagnosed with a disease called interstitial cystitis or IC for short. It is a chronic inflammatory condition of the bladder and it's cause is unknown. Unlike common cystitis (bladder infection) it is not caused by bacteria and does not respond to conventional antibiotic therapy. At this time there is no cure for IC, or an effective treatment that works for everyone. Basically you feel like you have a bladder infection most of the time with a lot more pelvic pain not just burning when you urinate. I had a surgery where they dialated my bladder and filled it as full as it would go. For a normal person this isn't painful at all but for someone with IC after the surgery the pain was worse and my bladder was covered with hemorrhages on the bladder wall. They inject some anti-inflammatory and other medications to help with pain. After peeing blood for 3 days and being in a lot of pain and not being able to take anything for it because pain meds don't agree with me I finally started to feel a little better. My urologist said the only symptom I don't have is a small bladder mine is normal sized but I would almost rather have to pee a lot than having pain all the time. They say if you follow a special IC diet it helps but you can't hardly eat any fruit which is killing me I could live on fruit and chocolate but I'm not supposed to eat that either. Somebody please shoot me! Everything about it totally sucks and I am having a really hard time with it. Some days I just don't even want to eat because it's not worth the pain you have to go through. I have lost some weight so I guess that's the one good thing that has come out of this. I also have to large kidney stones. How can you go your whole life with nothing and then bam everything hits at once. I know it could be worse I could have a terminal illness so I won't complain but now you know why I haven't blogged I've been a little busy and a lot depressed so I will try to do better!
