Too Much Laundry

This is the result of not doing laundry for almost a week!

P.S. Thank you Jaime- I finally got blogging from my iPhone set up.
Now I will hopefully post more often.

Naughty Nixon

He found an outlet & plug at my Mom's house and he is fascinated!

My Brother ...

Garrett (20), died yesterday. Wow, that is hard to type and even harder to say out loud (accidental drug over dose). I am numb and wanting to just sit and cry. He was a great brother and uncle. I could not have asked for better. I loved him so much and he will be missed. I can't imagine getting passed this without crying or wanting to throw up when I hear his name or see his picture- which is why I don't want to post a picture. (He was the bodybuilder that did the Napoleon Dynamite dance for his competition last year. Under "britt's family" labels I am sure I have pictures of him, but I am not looking through any of my files today to post one here).

This puts life into perspective. It's sobering.

Ms. Amber

This weekend my sisters, Nicole & Dani, and I drove to Cedar to visit my little sis at SUU-

Move to come on this crazy weekend!

I miss (and don't miss) the college life!

Tonight! Girls Night!

House Bunny at 7:40 pm with dessert after!

Meet at my house at 7 or the theatre in time for the movie ... email for details

Runtime:1 hr. 38 min. Rated: PG 13

Sexpot Shelley Darlington (Anna Faris) lives comfortably at the Playboy Mansion, until a jealous rival gets her tossed out on her tail. With nowhere else to go, she winds up at Zeta Alpha Zeta sorority. The seven socially inept Zetas will lose their house unless they can attract more pledges; to do that, they need to learn the ways of makeup and men from an expert.

Mustache

My brother thought it would be funny to glue a fake mustache on Krew's face. It was creepy seeing my 4 yr. old with the mustache. Garrett had just gone to the DMV wearing this mustache for his new motorcycle license . . . a few days earlier he had just renewed his other license sans mustache. The picture lady was quite confused at his ability to grow a mustache so fast.

Happy Birthday Nixon!

Our baby turned 1!

This is his birthday gift from the boys. We took Nix shopping with us and he absolutely loved the gift. He rode it out.

Slip & Slide

This is our family birthday celebration for Nixon

Pizza Challenge

Nate wants to go a whole year eating pizza for dinner- I am not too happy with this idea, but Little Ceasar's pizza is $5 so I will let him go for it (I have warned him that I will be making myself dinner during this time).

I have added a Pizza Counter on the side to track his progress.

Crying it Out

We had put him on the couch- he doesn't always remember how to get off- and he fell asleep after a couple of minutes of crying.

California!

We decided to go to the beach this weekend

In-N-Out

As out farewell to California we stopped at In-N-Out for lunch on our way to Vegas

Cute Dress! and Hair style.

First 4 Wheeler Ride

Matix was napping, Krew was driving his 4-Wheeler and Nixon was crawling around ... so I thought. I had the front door propped open while I was unloading groceries in & out of the house. Then I panicked. Where was Nixon?! I run outside (just a Nate was pulling up- perfect timing) only to see Krew driving up the street with Nix on the ride. No complaints from Nixon- he was loving it.

Shooting

Saturday night we went shooting with the Neffs- It was my first time ever shooting anything! And I was horrible- but it was fun!

Happy 70th!

My Nana came into town from California to celebrate her 70th Birthday with the family. It was a fun event.

Nate's 1st Motorcycle Road Trip

Nate had signed up for another triathlon- in Salem, Utah- this past weekend. He has not missed a race he has signed up for, but the crazy week had carried us away with it. Friday rolled around and he was still debating about driving the 5 1/2 hours to do the race. I had told him I would pass. I still had a busy weekend ahead. Nate decided (at 11 pm) that he was indeed going to the race. And to save gas money he would strap his road bike onto his motorcycle bike and go! He was going to drive there, sleep in the park for a couple of hours, race and then drive home! He made it to Mesquite and called me,"If you won't call me weak I am going to come home." I promised not to. Honestly, I was relieved he was not making the road trip!

On to High School

My little sis Dani graduated from middle school this week.

Welcome to Whoville

I was sleeping the other morning and kept hearing a machine going on and off, on and off then nothing then on and off .... It was 7 am on Sunday morning! Who in their right mind would be awake and then who would be mean enough to be so noisy!

Answer: Nate with a chain saw.

He had decided that our front trees needed maintenance. Poor trees.

How does this happen?
