Halloween pictures

So I finally took the time to post our Halloween pictures. We had a lot of fun stuff this last few weeks. We had grandma Seegmiller's party and school parties and we visited our other grandparents and ward party and then to top it all of we went trick or treating with a bunch of our friends from our ward. We had lots of fun, but I can say I am glad it is over with and I can not wait until my kids are done with all their candy. FUN FUN FUN

Sorry to those of you that tagged me but I just don't think I am going to get to it this time around. I love tags though it is fun to read them, so please don't think I won't do them in the future.

Still no soda, it is going well.

1 week

Yeah, I have made it one week with no soda. I have had a few headaches and I have thought about diet cherry Pepsi a few times but I made it. I have cooked at home for 9 days now. I do feel better about eating at home. I cook really healthy when I cook at home, I have read a lot of books and watched a lot of shows so I think I have a pretty good idea of portions and how to cook food and keep them very healthy.

I know I have been tagged a couple of times and I will try and answer those soon. I will hopefully find some time tomorrow to post some new pictures as well. I just thought I would give you a short report if you care.

1st day with no soda, second attempt

Okay, so I am trying the no drinking soda thing again. Last time I went for about 2 to three months. Well just recently at book club we were discussing this topic and they claim that in order to really see a difference you have to go for 16 weeks. So I am committing to 20 weeks that is 5 months. I did see some good stuff come from my last attempt. I just felt better and I stopped having head aches after the first week and a half. When I took up drinking soda this last time again the head aches came back so you would think that would make me stop but no I just love it. So starting today I am committing to 20 weeks no soda. So far not caffeine headache yet.

The second thing that came up in conversation is the eating out thing. Lets just say there should be a sign hanging in my kitchen that says "The only reason I have a kitchen is.........because it came with the house. I have also decided to start cooking at home again. So I took Mitch we me to the grocery store yesterday and we filled up three carts and spent just over $700.00 dollars. We really had nothing at home except cereal and lunch stuff. It has been so long sense we have eaten dinner at home. Except on Sundays of course. I did cook dinner last night and it felt really good to know we were eating something healthy and good for us. I am pretty educated about what I should be eating so when we eat at home we eat healthy food that is good for us.

The third thing that was discussed was the 100 mile bike ride which okay lets not talk about that. I am still thinking about this one. It is not until June but I think I need to decided fast.

Anyway I just thought I would mention this stuff on my blog so I would stay more accountable and have to answer to people.

Well anyway I do not have any pictures for this post just a lot of talk. Sorry!!!! Also I am not an English major so don't ever expect my posts to be up to that standard.

Oldy, Moldy, Mitch

Happy 30th Birthday Honey. Okay so I am the weirdo wife that makes her husband stand outside by the banner that I put on the garage and take a picture. Mitch turned 30 this year and has a lot of gray hair. He is always commenting on all of his gray hair. Well for his birthday this year he got the gun he wanted and a suit and the Cowboys jacket you see in the picture. He kind of got spoiled this year. I guess that is what happens when you work none stop for about two months. Well I am sure he is hoping I will be done with this soon because I am sure he is planning on getting some you know what tonight sense it is his birthday and all.

Well other than Mitch's birthday not much is going on. We did finally get our trailer we have been waiting for minus the couch because when the guy went to pick it up they had put the wrong one in so we are waiting for them to send the right one and then the dealer ship will install it for us. I will put up pictures when we finally go camping in it. Which I don't know when that will happen.

Well I don't know about you but I thought conference was really good. It definitely made me want to do better and just made me fill better about life. Good Good conference I would have to say.

Kaleb's 7th Birthday

Kaleb turned 7 on Sept. 2ND . He had a great birthday, he said. He is a very animated kid, he does not hold back his excitement when he likes his gifts. Kaleb is a very smart kid he is always checking everything out and getting into everything. He does awesome in school. It is crazy to think that I have a 7 year old. They grow up so fast, but yet I can only really remember him as a baby due to pictures and of course you always remember little things that they did but over all I really do not remember him as a baby to much. Kaleb was born just a few days before Sept. 11. I remember I was just sitting in my basement watching T.V. and the news came on and I had this brand new baby laying on the couch next to me and they were announcing this attach on the U.S. it was a little scary thinking I just brought a baby into this. Just one of the memories of Kaleb as a baby. I love Kaleb to death, even though some times I think he is my biggest challenge.

FUN, FUN, FUN

Well here are some pictures of my kids on the first day of school. Kaleb started 1st grade and Korben started all day kindergarten and Ashton is in preschool on MWF from 9 am to 12 pm. Okay so don't think I like Ashton more it is just that she is always posing for pictures and the boys are always just asking if I am done yet. Also don't mind Korbens hair cut, the girl that cut his hair did an awful job on it, I was just hoping it would grow out a little bit more before school started. So it is just me and Kreed some days. I might actually get a few things done and be able to spend some time with Kreed alone.

One other fun thing we just did was take Kreed to the ER yesterday. Well first I tried WEE CARE and they could not remove the fuzzy part of the pussy willow that he put up in his nose. So they told me that on Tuesday they would call me and give me a refural to a ear, nose doctor but I did not want to leave that in his nose until then, and if it had not been sunday I would have just taken him there in the first place because I do not need a refural with my insurance. So we went to the ER were they were able to remove it. Let me just say this is our fourth trip to the ER to get stuff removed from our children's bodies, it always happens at odd hours. The other three were from Kaleb two nose and one ear thing. I don't know what the obsession is but hopefully this will be the last trip. The doctors find it pretty funny every time we come in, they really thought this time was great because of what Kreed put in his nose. Kalebs was always candy an popcorn seeds in the ear, I guess that is pretty common stuff for them to remove.

Okay
1. I can not stand to listen to people who chomp there food. I mean I understand things like chips but I still should not be able to hear you eating those in the next room. EAT WITH YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND SLOW DOWN YOUR FOOD IS NOT GOING TO RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!

2. I am a neat freak, I like my house to be clean and organized as well as my kids cloths to be ironed and no stains. Some time this is a bad thing but I think I keep it in check pretty good and realize some times kids get dirty and some times I just need to wait to dust and enjoy the day.

3. I love decorating. I love painting my house and just finding new and fun things to do to make it better. I look through magazines and find stuff that will work in my house. I am working on a new little wall display as we speak.

4. I love to read, I am always looking for a good books and love when people give me recommendations.

5. I like to chew on stuff, the plastic tags off of cloths and the ring around plastic bottles any thing I can chew and make it flat or reshape it in my mouth.

6. I hate watching scary movies or anything remotely suspenseful like even the amazing race is a little to much for me I can not stand to watch if a team I like is barely going to make it or if they are losing and scary movies are just out of the question my heart starts to race and I get all tense.

Well I hope my friends that read my blog will do this, it was kind of fun to think of some of the weird things I do.

WEEK OF ADVENTURE

Well here are some picture of our last week of activities. On tuesday we went to Mitch's brothers house in Liberty. He has an in ground pool with a diving board. We went with all of the girls/sister inlaws, and all our kids. We just let the kids swim all day. My kids loved it and want to go do it again. When we first got there Kaleb went straight to the diving board and jumped off. He just about drowned, I guess he did not realize that the pool is 9 feet deep on that end. I asked him if it scared him and he said yes. The rest of the day he only jumped of with some type of life jacket or floating device.

On Thursday my family came over to my house and the kids swam all day. And then later on that day they played games that grandma had made up. Grandma always thinks of fun stuff for the kids. Then we BBQ and did fireworks. It was alot of fun.

On Saturday we went to Bear Lake and met Mitch's sister Britten and her family. The kids loved playing in the lake and the sand. They can not wait to go back.

Well it was a crazy week but a very fun week as well. I did get sun burned pretty bad, as well as a few of my kids. I guess we did not apply the sun block enuff. Well as for this week Mitch is finishing up this semester of school and then he has a few weeks of . I can not wait to just hang a little bit. Not that we have not done that this last week.

KREED TURNED 2 !!!!

Kreed turned 2 on July 17th. He was so cute he love all the ballons and all the attention he got. He however did not like the candle on the cake. It scared him, I figure that is a good thing that he did not like the fire. He got a wagon and a few other little toys, and was very excited to go for a ride.

Okay so here are some pictures from our Camping Trip over the fourth. We always go with mitch's family it is kind of a tradition I guess. We also go over the 24 and a few other times during the year. It has been a little difficult the past few years with mitch in school though. We had a lot of fun and the kids loved it. We went up to Whitney resevoir. It was really pretty. I would have to say one of my favorite parts was going on our hike, the kids did great, so I am excited to go more often now. Well I forgot my camera so these pictures are thanks to mitchs dad. So I truly think I was dirtier than my kids when we got home and I even took a shower and washed my hair in our trailer half way through the trip . I think Kreed was a close second though. I so wish I had my camera because I have never had any of my kids get as dirty as Kreed did. We are in the process of selling our trailor we have know, and you can bet my next trailor will have a tub in it so we can do a sponge bath at least, (we only have a shower in the one we have now), there is no way to clean every crack unless they are in a tub of water. Ok so I will shut up know.

Crazy Kaleb

This is Kalebs latest adventure. He decided he wanted to take his LOOSE tooth out by tying a string to his tooth and to the door and then slamming it shut. Needless to say it worked great and after the door shut he said did it work. My dad had told him that is how he took out some of my teeth.
