My Birthday Boys!

(Nate is in the far right corner. Tons of lawn to mow.)

Shout out to Christina Judd Dixon

1.) What I was doing ten years ago:I was just starting my first semester at BYU in the Enclave apartments with tons of dang cute boys everywhere. I loved it.
2.) Five years ago:I was in our first house in Las Vegas with Hailey and Tyler. All I really remember about that house is playing ping pong out in my garage with the family and Rachel being super pregnant with little Evan.
3.) One year ago: I was in Springville starting the kids in school. Pretty much what I am doing now.
4) Yesterday: Sept. 27. I was at the Fall Festival with the kids where we ran into Nate's old high school girlfriend, Nancy. Fun.
5.) 5 Things I would do if I suddenly had $100 million: All the boring stuff, then buy me a new pimped out mini van.
6.) 5 locations I would like to run away to: Europe, Hawaii, Disneyland.Thats it. I am not too much of a travelor.
7.) 5 bad habits I have:Leaving the oven on. Picking at my lips. Interupting people. I also wish I was a fabulous and gifted listener, and that I was a better cleaner.
8.) 5 things I like doing:Anything with the kids. Sitting around with my siblings. Working out. Being able to blast music. Preparing for the holidays.
9.) 5 TV shows I like: Dancing with the Stars, Bachelor, The Office, Lost, 24
10.) 5 things I hate doing: throwing up, watching my kids throw up, cleaning bathrooms, getting up to an alarm clock, allergies
12.) 5 Biggest joys of the moment:Getting good sleep. Being past the major morning sickness. The fall weather. Looking forward to Jamie's baby being born. The Office starting, (right now, but thank goodness for DVR.)

Nate's other wife....er......favorite hobby that "never takes up time".

You can't see too many fish here, but they are there. Every stinkin' fillet.












"Grilled Cheese" the clam. (Ask Kyle for an explanation). The fish on top is named Stacey because of her big fat womanly lips. Except my lips aren't fluorescent yellow.

Dang it poopy crapcakes.

I forgot to charge my battery on my camera so I wasn't able to take any pictures of the awesome Fall Festival last night and the yummy raw-as-bologna hotdogs and warm flat homemade "witches brew". (What is it with that recipe? Sneak some A&W in there please!)
But I did get my fabulous 4 month pregnancy picture with my bubba. Only 5 months to go!!!!!!

A day in the life of crafty people.

Preparing for our entries in the "Fall Festival" tonight at the school. (Watch for pictures tomorrow. It'll be the talk of the blogger world).












And there you have them.













Posing in front o'the house. Hailey is covering it a little with her head, but check out the partial face on the tree. He is Mr. Woody. (Keep it clean folks.)















They were mad because I wouldn't drive them to school with their "projects", so I offered to take a picture as reimbursement.

Miss Emma, her "outfit" pick of the day, and her new lunchtime snack, peppers.

uuuuuuggggh

This is how I feel at the moment, especially because I have to go make dinner while I am sick. At least I made it more appealing to you all.(I know I am being negative....again. I am such a complainer. And I need a new camera so I can post some kid pictures. Much more interesting than pumpkin puke. Hopefully Nathan is buying one now as we speak. Thus the reason I have to go make dinner.)

How does time go so fast?

Tyler just had his baptism interview on Sunday with Bishop Holyoak. He is starting the Faith in God program and Scouts in a few weeks. I just want to hold him like a baby and kiss his nose.

Me at 3 months pregnant

(How do we compare in belly's, Jamie Lou?)

Stacey's Mom Has Got it Going On.

This is me and my mom back in the day. I seriously think my mother was and is gorgeous.

Man I hate being sad sometimes.

What is up with my emotional state some days? I found a song by Josh Groban "You Are Loved" which I bought from itunes and listened to for the first time yesterday. Sob, sob, tear fountain, whaaa. So my heart is "heavy" with all this never-ending pregnancy sickness, and it is really hard to look past it to see other people struggling. This song helped me to do that, and I also thought of it as a message to myself. Anyway, I am feeling better, but take a listen if you feel the need. Any other songs that have made you cry and cry and cry, or am I seriously just pregnant and weepy?

Dirty Little Favors

Now before you think of naughty things, read the story:

Kyle, my littlest brother, was hired by Nathan to pull all the weeds and throw down wood chips in our Springville back yard. Clean it up and such. When he was done Nathan transfers some $$$ from Wells Fargo right into the account of "Kyle Stucki". In the "label transfer" area, Nathan, who has a very tight/teasing relationship with Kyle, types: "Dirty Little Favors" as a joke. (The dirt in our backyard. Get it?) Come to find out, it is a DIFFERENT account for a DIFFERENT Kyle Stucki in Arizona who is married. Nathan is of course horrified and actually calls up this Kyle Stucki in Arizona to explain the problem. (Can you imagine his wife finding that!!!!) It is all figured out and the other Kyle just laughed and was very cool. I feel so scandalous typing this story. Moral: "measure twice cut once", or, "never wire money for dirty little favors unless your that senator from Idaho." KIDDING
