I'M BACK! With Cockroaches!

I has been tooooo long! I am in the blogging mood again!


We are currently in North Carolina for Jer's work...I'm not gunna lie, I might as well be in another country! Not kidding when I say Utah is POSH compared to this place! All you "Utahns" are spoiled! Although, The Super green wooded surroundings are a beautiful change.


My biggest HOLY CRAP moment has got to be the morning Ellie woke me up (too early in the morning might I ad...) saying "Mommy, something is crawling on the wall!" That got me up cause I'm a wussy when it comes to foreign creatures! So I look over, & sure enough it's the biggest bleepin Cockroach i've EVER seen! I've got to say that i'm not even sure that i've actually, physically seen a Cockroach before...So nice introduction! I felt like screaming "WELCOME TO THE DIRTY SOUTH!!!" That is a perfect saying by the way. So to wrap up this exciting story, I indeed KILLED that disgusting creature!!! YEAH!!! I could'nt show weakness in front of my kid right?!

Here's my DADDY!

This is a current picture of my dad... He has been really exhausted since they started physical therapy. Each session for him is equivalent to a 10 mile run.
He has been so strong through this whole ordeal, we are sooo proud of him! I love when I walk into his room & say "Hi daddy, it's Amberlie" and he opens his hand and waits for me to hold it, then he gives me a big squeeze. It's nice to know he recognizes when we're there. He even has his own way of telling me he loves me...I always know, so when I say I love you too dad, he blinks his eyes, & squeezes my hand. I really do LOVE the time I have with my dad, & I will cherish it forever!

A life changing accident!

Friday, January 16, 2009

The first update...
As you may have heard, our dad was in a horrible accident on Thursday morning around 1:00 am on I-15. We have created this blog in an attempt to keep everyone informed of his status and progress as time goes by. We realize that there will be many who wish to express their love and concern and also want to hear how things are going. We all are very busy in dealing with this life changing event, but want you all to know how much we appreciate your genuine concern for our family. It will be difficult to answer phone calls and questions, so we kindly ask you to refer to this blog as we will do our best to keep it current. We, as well as our dad, would greatly appreciate any words of encouragement or expressions of love. Please feel free to comment on this blog, as this will serve as a journal for the road we are about to travel down. Thank you again on behalf of our family, especially our dad!

Let's Go To School!

My sweet little Sadie lady started school. I have to admit that I was really nervous! The thought of her leaving me everyday was freaking me out! I was not thinking of it as a "break" at all. She has absolutly loved doing her workbooks or in her words "homework" these last months, while we were vamping up (i love that word-vamping...I know i'm random.) for school to start. So I knew she would love every bit of school...And yes she even loves the homework-who's daughter is she anyway?
Now that she has been in school a month, I have realized a few things.
1. She is not a morning person! By her 2nd day of school she was already crying "I don't need to go to school, I can just go back to sleep"!
2. It has caused Ellie to be even more independant- as if that was possible! Now she doesent even need me to arrange play dates, she does it herself!
3. Morning Kindergarten is overrated! I don't get more done, the time goes by too flippin' fast!
4. Lastly, It reminds me everyday how much I have been blessed! The time with my family, and especially our growing girls is the most important thing I have! I love them!

My Nephew Cal, what a STUD! He had just gotten potty trained & I could not resist this very public, very funny moment!!!

Sadie & Isabelle LOVED the swings! In fact where can I buy one of these Swing rides??? This would definitly be an investment! I could just hose off the kids after their barf-a-rama!


Don't we look like a happy family? We are!!! This is Me, my brother Adam, & all our kids. We had such a fun time with you guys!


Cal, Adam, & Isabelle...Like Father like Kids. I think these three look so much alike! All of them Adorable!
