A new addition to the family...

No... I didn't some how get through 9 months of pregnancy without anyone knowing. My little brother Andy has come from Canada to live with us for a while. He came here to do a service mission for our church. He will be working at the Deseret Manufacturing Plant. They build furniture that is sold at D.I. They also make tables, mattresses, missionary name tags and more. We are lucky to have him in our home for the next few months. He works so hard during the day and still comes home to be so helpful. Kobe asks him every day how his mission went today. It's pretty cute! Welcome Andy!

i FLY

Have any of you ever gone sky diving? Would you ever want to? Well I would absolutely love it! A few years ago I thought otherwise until I saw a video of my brother in law do it. It looked so awesome!!! The adrenalin of jumping out of a plane and free falling for a few seconds. Then floating through the air all peaceful once you pull the shoot.

Well Aaron spoiled me for my birthday. He took me to Ogden to the Solomon center to do the iFLY. You go in a wind tunnel thingy, and it's like you're sky diving. I think it would be way cool to learn all the tricks you can do in there. They say it's pretty close to the feeling of sky diving. It was so fun that I couldn't stop smiling.... I really tried hard not to because my spit kept flying out of my mouth and against my face.....and we won't talk about the runny nose it gives you! It was sooo SWEET!! I got a video of me doing it and a way cool t-shirt. I've been trying to post the video but for some reason it's not working.So when I figure it out I will post it.

It was such a blast hanging out with Aaron all day, just me and him. We went shopping and I have to say Aaron is now an expert at picking out jeans with cool looking pockets :o). We also went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner and filled up on yummy rolls and steak! What an awesome day! Thanks so much Babe you totally spoiled me!!!

Kids are so honest!

So I'm already having a hard enough time knowing that my 30th birthday is just around the corner, and then my neighbor calls me. She says Kobe was at her house and their dad was talking about how he is the king of the house. Kobe's all..."ya my dad is the king of our house too"! So they asked him, "Does that mean your mom's the queen"? He said, " no she's the OLD Princess"!!!!! Are you kidding me!

Come on, what's a number anyway? Besides the wrinkles and saggy boobs....well wait... now days you can fix anything, right! Getting older just means that you get to experience new adventures as your kids get older. Pretty soon Kobe will be giving me rides on his dirt bike and trying to freak his mom out (he tells me this all the time). Kylee will be all girl (but still adventurous like me) and getting ready for her first date. We'll be cheering at their games and crying with them during their hard times. We'll be doing school projects and fun vacations. And I'm sure there will be some more bambino's or bambina's on the way... no, this isn't an announcement, but we do have to get a move on, I'm getting old right, ha! Sooooo many things to look forward to! I just hope all those things don't go by too fast! I guess I just need to live in the moment and love it, and be the Best Dang mom and wife I can be, right now.

Fun at the Zoo!

We finally made it to the zoo, thanks to my good neighbor Heather. We had so much fun with her and her kids. I actually think this was Kylee's first time ever.

Kobe HAD to see the eagles, so thank goodness there were eagles to see. The whole eagle thing started when one morning I picked out a shirt for him to wear to school. He told me it was a stupid shirt. It had a picture of an eagle on it and I began to tell him how cool eagles are. I even showed him some cool you tube videos of an eagle picking up a wolf and fighting bears.

It was fun seeing all the new babies there. Our favorite was the baby elephant!

eeeeewww!!

Kylee has been loving to brush her teeth. Her favorite part is when I stick it under the water and then she sucks the water out of the bristles. Well now it will never be the same!! This morning I was getting Kobe ready and heard the toilet seat slam shut. Kylee had stuck her toothbrush in the toilet and then began sucking all the water out of the bristles (eeeww... I think I just threw up a little in my mouth)!! Don't worry we are throwing all the toothbrushes away. Poor Kylee, hopefully there's no long term side effects!

The recipient of a good deed...

A few days ago Aaron and I decided to go to The Training Table for dinner. Who doesn't crave some cheesy fries every now and then, right? Well on our way there Kylee was freaking out in the back. Nothing we did could get her to calm down.....granted she's never loved being in the car for too long, but even mommy acting like a complete dork or playing her favorite song didn't even work. We finally got to the restaurant and sat down and then began noticing this nasty smell. Yes, it was Kylee! So I proceed to the bathroom to change her when upon arriving realized there was no changing table. Normally I would rather change her in the car anyways because I'm a little bit of a germ a Phoebe, but this time I began changing her on the 1 foot space that was available by the sink. As I began, I realized this was going to be a much bigger job. Yes, she had a bLoW OuT!! I don't even remember the last time she had a blow out. So... just my luck I didn't have a change of clothes or WIPES!!! Oh man.... what a mess. I was so embarrassed with people coming in and out, they were afraid to even wash their hands by me because of the awful scene. Let me tell you though, there was this sweet lady who went to the kitchen and asked them for a wash cloth. She came back and handed me the cloth and said, "Don't worry, I've been there before". Talk about someone doing a good deed! I love it when a total stranger helps me out! It feels so good to be the recipient of someone doing good. I have been the recipient many many times so thanks everyone out there! It makes me want to try and notice more and help out those who might need an extra hand. Well, we came back to the table, Kylee in just a coat and diaper.... but man were those cheesy fries good!!
