Happy Mother's Day

We went to my mom's house for mothers day today. It was really nice, We went to there sacrament meeting and had a really nice dutch oven dinner that my dad made.


I got myself a new dress and my hair colored for mothers day. Check out my blonde hair. The kids made me some homemade cards and my husband got me a nice card. He loved my hair and gave me lots of compliments on how nice and sexy I looked. So that was a pretty good present in my mind.

Here is a close up that I took

My New Bike and Trailer

So on a lighter note.. I wanted to show everyone my new bike and trailer.

I have no more patients

So just as I was about to write this post I heard a laptop computer hit the floor downstairs..... Will this day ever end. I watched my friends kids today, listened to Lacey's many fits, Gabe's constant whinning, I donated today so I was starving until I could get some food. About 6:45 I decided that Lacey was tired and going to bed. It only took me an hour of being the meanest mom ever to get her to go to sleep......and while I was doing that I managed to get the worst paper jam in my computer that I have ever seen. I was so bad that I had to get a screw driver and take it apart. My patients was completely gone. But by some miracle I was able to get the paper out and put the printer back togeather (by stealing a screw from somewhere else because I lost one somewhere in the printer) and it worked. The first 2 pages came out blank, and I thought oh well I tried but then I tried again and miracle it worked. So that was my night.

Sometimes I feel like I am always mad and frustrated being a mom. The constant whinning and tantrums are wearing me out.........Let alone trying to keep up on the house and work 20 hours a week from home.

p.s. I also washed and dried my ipod shuffle

A Young Soul

So we went to the sand dunes today with our 4 wheel that we got a few months ago. In the moment I felt like I was 17 years old riding around on those dunes. It was so fun. When I was younger I was known to be kind of adventurous and competitive. I grew up riding 3 wheelers, driving trucks and tractors, showing cattle, playing sports, playing veterinarian, landscaping and fighting fires.......Surprise if some of you didn't know that about me.

I also was able to take Gabe for a ride and he was laughing and holding on tight. I wanted to take some pictures but when we got out there the battery was dead.

So........... the first song playing on the playlist I have been looking for awhile. I first heard it on the Mac computer commercials and I thought I really like that song I am going to try and get it. It only took me about a month to figure it out. I saw it on VH1 today while I was donating plazma. Enjoy

The Playground

There is a playground really close to our house. I took some pictures the other day and thought that I would share them. In June sometime they are suppose to finish our backyard and put a playground set right out of our backdoor. I am really excited.


Here is Lacey on the slide. She can climb the ladder and go down the slid all by herself.


Gabe loves going to the playgroud.


This is currently are backyard. At least it is not a mud hole anymore.

No training wheels

i didn't realize that he falls down at the end until I uploaded it. It is gravel and bumpy down at that end.

Sunday Morning

Well it is a beautiful morning in Rexburg. We have had the longest winter, Here it is almost May and their has been about a total of 5 nice days. Grandma and Grandpa Oldfield came up yesterday and brought Lacey her new big girl bed. She sleep in it last night for the first time. She was tired last night that she went to sleep pretty good, and then she got up 2 times in the middle of the night, and I had to put her back to bed. I am currently trying to get Lacey to take a nap. I have put her to bed about 10 times. after about 4 times I have to start giving her a spakin everytime she gets up and then put her right back to bed. I did read in the Love and Logic parenting book that spakin can be effective around 2 to 3 years old. It does seem to help me get her to bed better otherswise I think I would be putting her to bed about 50 times or naps would no longer exist. Some people lock their door but this doesn't work very good with Lacey because she just bangs on the door with her bottle. Now I am up to 13 times.

This is Lacey's new bed, that my Dad and I built.


Here is a picture of Gabe and Lacey's matching beds. Now I just need to help my mom make a valance that matched the bedspread that she made to go on the window shades.

Gabe took this picture of Me and Lacey first thing this morning. So now you all know how I look when I wake up. It is rare to get a picture of me because I am the one taking the pictures so I thought I would post it. But not bad for a 4 year old photographer. I didn't even crop it.
