Its been awhile!!

So I have been so busy and nothing really exciting to blog about, which has resulted in the absence of current posts. The most important thing was graduation on June 6th, finally and so exciting. Now I have to get back to working full time so I can pay off student loans, yuck. Kiana had swimming lesson, no pics to post though. She did really awesome. We had a week of tutu making. Now, all I do with my time is study. I take one test in a week and the other the week after. All my free time right now is pretty much going to studying (I hate studying almost more than anything)!!

Thought I would post pics of all the tutus. They turned out really cute. I made them so Sheena could have pics taken of her girls. I bought fabric on Monday, then cut and tied 7 tutus by Saturday night. The cutting takes the longest, so I recruited Kiana and Yhostin's two nephews (thought if they slept over I could put them to good use)!

Pink and dark green for watermelon theme.

This one we made for Kiana's new baby cousin. It is way cute with baby pink, bright pink and brown. There was also just a baby pink and brown.

Not a great pic, but I kept stacking the tutus on top of each other when I was done. We had a Christmas tree of tutus. It was even better with the final two on top.

This one I made to resemble all the colors in the watermelon. There is the green, white, pink, and black. It turned out so cute. I can't wait to have girls. I also can't wait to see how adorable Sheena's pics turn out.

We got a preview of what they would look like. Both Avery and Harper looked adorable in them. In this pic, I made Sheena wake up Haper so I could see how it fit. Harper is way stinking cute!!

Now we have the 4th of July weekend. Kim, TJ, Daviana, and Jessica came up from Phoenix. It was nice to see them for the weekend. We sat outside alot and just enjoyed visiting. Taylor enjoyed the popsicles, especially with grandpa.

My mom watered her flowers and Taylor wanted to play in the water. We gave him the hose to play with. That was not enough for me so we got our white trash pool.....the cooler.

Filling up the pool.

Then we had an upgrade due to my great dad. The inflatable pool was mine when I was like 16, it is about 10 years old, crazy. We use to have it set up in a little canopy and we would just chill out in it.

This water feels so good!!!

Such a cute face.

Yhostin sprayed Taylor in the face with the water gun and made him cry so we made him get in the pool too.

One of the many pics I took.

Skim board surfing!! It looked way fun but it was a little difficult. This was last weekends events.

Kiana giving it a shot, she mainly just stepped on the board, no skimming to it.

Yhostin's nephews did awesome. They got it on the first try.

London enjoyed the cool water. He loves water.

Let's Ride--

This weekend was awesome to be outside doing stuff so we decided to go riding with Yhostin's friend, his girlfriend, and daughter. It was way hot!! We had a good time.

Let's go!!

Riding gear looks good on you two! Yhostin kind of looks constipated, the sun was so bright and the dirt was really light making it hard to keep your eyes open.

Babe, you look good on my bike!

Sexy Lexi looking cool in her shades, trying to beat the heat!

Old Times!!

When I was home a couple of weeks ago I decided to go through all my pics because I thought it would be fun to post some. It was fun looking at them, but I also realized that I had a lot of pics that were really stupid. Only about 1/3 of the pics have people in them and would be worth saving.
Here's a good one to start. Nichole's bday, I think the summer we were going into 8th grade.

Love the times at softball. We had so much fun.

Love the school dances.

Freshman on the softball team. This was on our way home from Moab.

This on I wanted to post because I love Dawnelle, but Brianne just added me as a friend on facebook if anyone wants to look her up. She looks exactly the same.

England pics 5-6/2000. This was the funnest trip. I still want to move to London. These were the pics that were the most disappointing. I needed to take a photography class in high school.

Can you see the Eiffel Tower in the middle of us?

Nichole and Sheena enjoyed the Eiffel tower!! It was so romantic!

Nsync at the Delta Center. This was the concert that my mom sat in the dumpster to get us back stage passes.

Cody enjoying the sand on senior trip.

Yummy, cheetos!

Before heading to Disneyland

This one is for Terra. This was at our first Nsync concert at the state fair grounds. That was the concert that started the whole Matt love affair. (Matt is the one in the black adidas shirt on the left. He is pretty cute.) Stay tuned for more pics. I just got tired of scanning them in so I decided to start with these ones.

44 more days until my escape from HELL!!

So my run at the school thing is almost over. I am so excited! Soon I can put the worst 3 years of my life behind me, and maybe actually be happy. You can make the bottom pic bigger to read it, not sure why you can't on the top pic.

Happy Easter & Happy Birthday Mom!

During the Easter Egg Hunt. Hoping the eggs would blend in with her hands. I don't think it worked well.

Kiana searching for her eggs. She had a hard time claiming them when they said Keyona, they were for here, because that is not how you spell her name. Don't you love her riding gear. She looks so good in it.

Our cute little easter bunny with her haul of easter goodies. The bunny spoiled her with 2 big bags of stuff, plus all that she got during the hunt.

This is Kim and Nacho. Kim, TJ, Daviana decided to surprise my mom for her birthday so they drove a dreadful 8 hours to come play in the dirt. It was great seeing them. Thanks for coming up guys, you are all so good to make it everywhere. We love you!

My HOTT baldy on the 4 wheeler. He has been itching, BAD, to ride it. Before easter he would try to ride on every spare moment that he had.

Kiana and Yhostin. We got this 4wheeler for Kiana so she could have fun and ride along with us. She was on it constantly. She did really good. Due to an unfortunate accident, we did not get a pic of her in her riding gear on the wheeler. She would have looked so awesome. Will just have to put the egg hunt pic and this pic together to get the full idea.

Looking good, Kim!

Over the course of the weekend my mom got 5 birthday cakes from different people. We had a ton of cake that we were trying to eat. She said she got a cake for every decade. Happy Birthday Mom!! Hope it was a great birthday. We love you!!!! Thanks for being the best mom ever, would be lost without you.

London fell asleep with his face up against the kennel and it was stretching his lip out. He looked pretty funny. We took him and Britain. They do not get out much, so they are not very socialized, so they are really rude to their fellow dogs. The weekend was kind of a nightmare with them. They spent most of it in their kennels, poor pups.

Taylor did such a good job throwing our dyed easter eggs. We had fun rolling the eggs up and down the hills. We always enjoy the easter camping trip. It was a pretty good weekend, even though it was crappy on Saturday and I ended up sleeping in a tent. We ended up coming home with a sunburn.

She has always dreamed of being the Easter Bunny! So close!!

New Toy

We have been looking at buying a 4wheeler for awhile. Yhostin had his eye on a Yamaha racing quad and here it is. Our new YFZ450. Don't you just love to blow tax money? We got a good deal, so it is worth it.

We were shooting for something Kiana could ride, but I don't think this will be the machine. It has a lot of go, a manual shift and a clutch to deal with, and no reverse. I think she might kill her self on it.

We got Yhostin and Kiana some riding gear. I made him model his gear.

More riding pics to come after easter. Hopefully, we will all be in one piece!

Happy Valentines Day

First of all, Britain wanted to say "Holla" or and don't forget "rub my belly!"

"What are you sticking in my face?? Oh well, I need the attention!"

Here is our Valentines day present to one another. It is a soda machine. It is pretty cool. You fill a bottle up with 1 L of water and screw it onto the black machine, press the fizz button until it farts 3 times to carbonate the water, and then you add flavoring of your choice and gently mix, and vio'la--you have freshly made soda!! Pretty cool, huh?? It is pretty good, but the regular flavors taste a bit like the diet flavors. They market them on lower calories, less sodium which makes them taste a little like diet. Only 36 calories per 8 oz for regular and 0 calories and aspartame free on diet.

We have made Mt Dew imitation, Dr. Pepper imitation, diet cola, diet orange, and diet cran-raspberry. Yum, yum! If you follow this link you can watch their demo on it, it is pretty funny.

So we re-finished our shower last week. It was a nightmare. I hate construction, it is so messy. Here are a couple of before pics.

Yhostin tearing down the wall. It was gross. Gotta love the light green paint!

After: new tile, new tub, new paint. The best part of the whole thing is we repainted the bathroom a beige color, so no more green!!! It looks really good.

So I hate shower caddies so we put in these shelves. It was not exactly what I wanted (wanted them to be in the corner) but it works, and we don't have to deal with the nasty shower caddy.
