Whatca gonna do with all that junk all that junk inside your Trunk?!

So we always sing this song to Gracie (Black eyed peas). Today we went to her one year well baby appointment and the poor girl got SIX shots! She cried and cried for three hours than fell asleep sucking on the sucker Dr. Lish gave her:). Turn out we were right all along. She was in the 25th percentile for weight and 90th for height. All her Fat is in her butt:) She has this long tiny torso with no waist and a ghetto booty longer than daddy's hand vertically:) We love you "Racer". Your perfect just the way you are!!!!
Our sweet girl did not want to move her legs for hours after! Sweet baby.

Santa Baby!!

Dear Santa,

Chloe would like me to write you one more time to assure the proper delivery and timely arrival of her presents. Chloe requests "American Doll Ruthy" you know "Kit Richards" best friend!? And could you please ask Heavenly Father to bring my "Babe" Michael Jackson back to life. (She's moon-walking as we speak). :) Noah requests only a football so thats fairly easy it doesn't require any brining another person back to life. Gracie wants a good night sleep:) Mom the same as Gracie and for the love if were brining people back to life please bring the old Tiger Woods back the one I grew up admiring and watched turned pro. (I'm trying to raise a son here, come on be and example). Tyson would like a trip to Hawaii and a second degree sunburn along with the trip. Thats it! Merry Christmas to all. P.S. Chloe says don't freeze your butt off at the North Pole! -US

in the meadow we can build a snowman!

The kids were dying to build a snow man and I loathe doing it alone so we called "Grandpa Butt-crack" to our rescue. I think he enjoyed it more than the kids:)

Papa and Chloe arguing. They argue more than dad and I Do :)Our "Noey-Man"

Gracie's First Birthday

I can't believe my baby is already one. It seems like yesterday she was born. I can't remember her being only 5 pounds 8 ounces. We were so happy when Tyson's plans changed and he got to be home for her special day!
I enjoyed my entire cake sparing one bite for Mom and one Dad.

Obviously Sugar shock!!

TEAM JACOB!

K....so November 19th at 6:50 we went to see new moon. My sister Jamie helped arrange for three theaters at Walkers Cinema to show the movie before the premiere at 12:00 am. I have to say Jamie has been trying to get me to like Twilight forever. She bought me the first book to read when I was on bedrest for Four and a half months with Gracie. I wasn't a huge fan of the book certain parts I liked other were just too un-real for me. I finished all but the last 100 pages and I just couldn't get any further. Maybe it was the constant contractions or the irritability having to lay around and mark off each day on the calendar trying to stay pregnant just ONE more day. Whatever it was I hate, hate, hated the book! I rented the movie and thought it was okay very un-realistic but didn't mind it. So I was DREADING to go to this moive. Jamie was so cute to try to get me excited but I seriously thought "I'd rather wash my mouth out with a revolver than go see New Moon". :) ;) So okay Jamie....You finally did it you made me a fan!!! It was so fun, LOVED it. Totally team Jacob! So Hot want to touch the Hiney!!!! :) It was so much fun thanks Mom, Dad, Jamie, Annie, Monka, and Marci for coming with and making me excited to go. There was NO irritability this time except....I think Bella should be with Jacob! Who wouldn't want to be?

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Chloe has been having so much fun in pre-school. She made this darling turkey for Mom and Dad. We are so proud of you. You are growing up so fast and you're so smart! We thought this was the perfect message to send everyone for thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for..Our beautiful kids, The Lord for always protecting us and always being mindful of us. Our Families they have saved us so many times in the past three years they are always at our beck n call and ready to step in with all our (my) health problems. And I'm most especially thankful for my dear sweet husband and the Priesthood power he holds and exercises in our home. We are so blessed!

Chloe also made this at preschool and is going to eat her Thanksgiving dinner off of it :)

She has a darling poem that goes with it... The turkey is a funny bird, it's head goes wobble, wobble. But all it knows is just one word GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE!

Nursery

Tyson and I have had so much fun in the nursery at Church. Their are 3 other leaders but two of them just had babies and the other just got a new job and works sundays. So Ty has been helping me. It was so fun...Ty and I were Nursery Leaders in our home ward before we were married and then when we got married we were Nursery leaders for two years in our first ward, Now we are in nursery again. It brought back so many memories! Both previous callings we had no kids and now two of our kids are in nursery with us. I guess the Lord wants me around children :) I work with the newborns in the Nursery on the Labor and Delivery Unit, I work in the Nursery at church and then I go home to a Nursery full of kids:) It's been really fun for us were grateful for all of our callings!

The Story of my life in just one Picture!

Found this at work and it was amazing how fitting it was to my life! So if I forget anything or ask 100 times what day is that? I think it's due to 3 pregnancies and a whole crew of kids. My brain is fried!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Levi (Nov. 22nd) he's 9. And also to Sean (Nov. 23rd). We love you both and hope you had a great birthday.

Gracie's Walking!!!!!

We pulled out the walker today. Grace has been standing for a LONG time in the middle of the room by herself. Chloe and I timed her and she made it to six minutes. So we decided she could probably walk on her own. She's been walking along furniture since she was seven months. We pulled out the walker and she wasn't to sure at first.

Two steps later she was walking and pushing it ONE handed.

Ahhh...Haaa. by the time I got to the other end of the front room Grace had mastered it. She was THIS close to taking her first step alone. The next day she did it...My last baby took her first step. What a happy but sad day. Were running out of our "first's". This Thanksgiving will be her last "First Holiday".

Craft night at Annie's and new Jammies

Thanks Annie so much for letting us have craft day at your house. It was a blast. The best Part was I got to hold baby Tanner First!!!

Gracie's First Cheeto! She almost ate the whole bag.

I'M SO GLAD WHEN DADDY COMES HOME!! Watching for daddy out the front window. This was my smile when I saw him pull up.
Chloe was so excited her and Gracie's Jammies Matched. Noah loved his Buzz Lightyear Jammies!

Three Little monkey's Jumping in Gracie's Crib. Luckily no one fell out and broke their head(s).

Go Mariners!

My Uncle Rick is the trainer for the Seattle Mariners. He recently came back to town for a long awaited visit. It was so nice spending time with him, and getting to know him again. It was so kind of him to send Noah a jersey. We were going to give it to him for Christmas but mom saw how cute it was and couldn't wait to see it on. Dad was a little upset. But once he saw Noah pulling the GQ poses he forgot all about it :)

Noah was just as excited as Mommy to wear the "baseball guy" shirt. He was smiling for hours. Thanks Uncle Rick you made our day and it was so kind of you!

I know it's a little late but this is a picture of Noah and I watching the final Yankees game. Since A-Rod once played for the Mariners and I'm a huge New York Knicks fan, we had the cheer for A-Rod. (Plus he still makes me blush like a little school girl when I first met him at spring training in Las Vegas years ago playing poker :)) Since Daddy is working 5 days a week in Vernal (5 hours away). It's been getting to Noah a little being the only boy amongst three fiesty girls. He has been wanting to paint his nails hot pink and fix his hair like "Co-Anne's". Mom's been a little concerned for him. (I know it's only because he doesn't have a male influence around alot and watches us). Needless to say Mom's been putting the girls to sleep early and Noah and I watch Sports on TV. He loved Baseball and Football he now wants to be a "Quarter Back" when he grows up. I think it's great but I hope he chunks up....He's almost three and only has 4 pounds on his sister that's turning one. He finally hit 22 pounds! We also love watching basketball and golf which is so fun for me because daddy isn't a sports fan, Noah is now teaching daddy how to play football and basketball. But I have to say Noah's favorite show is Nitro Circus Live...He Love, Love, Love's ,Travis Pastrana. Like Father Like son. I think the love of Motorcross runs in the Scothern's Blood. Daddy may not like Sports but you sure can't keep him away from Motorcross. Which is nice for me because I'm learning all about it right along with Noah. Thank you Ty for introducing us to this awesome sport! We Love our daddy and all the hard work and long hours he works for us, sacrificing time away from the kids and missing out on all of Gracie's "First's" to provide for us. He is the best husband I could ever ask for! We don't give him enough credit I mean come on who wants to live in Vernal 5 days a week. It's smaller than Brigham and everything closes at 9 pm. SERIOUSLY!

"Time flies when you're having fun, can you believe it? I'm turning one!"

Second star to the right and straight on till morning!

This year for Halloween we dressed up as Peter Pan family. Thanks to Ty for being such a good sport! Ty was Mr. Darling, Noah-Peter Pan, Grace-Tiger Lilly, Clo-Tinkerbell, Me-Wendy. We had so much fun and the kids were spoiled rotten with treats from Grandma and Grandpa's!
