I love Nostrils and cheese!

Last night we had a busy night. We rushed from Cottage fair at Britt's school right off to dance class for both of the girls, dinner was just skipped. So after all was said and done we stopped at a circle K and I asked the girls if they wanted Nachos for dinner, Londyn said "Hu?" and I replied "you know, Nachos with cheese on them" Londyn then said "MMM I Love Nostrils with cheese!!!" Britt and I died laughing:) These will never be called Nachos again

Won't my mommy be so proud of me:)

After years of not canning, I decided that it was time to do it. I used to always have a bowl of my moms canned peaches everytime that we went for a visit, but we finished those off a long time ago. Ever since I have told myself that I needed to do my own. Here I am like a million years later finally doing it.
Brittany really enjoyed helping me also
Britt is really great in the kitchen!
this is what Brex and Londyn were doing while we worked

It does just seem wrong that it is still way warm enough to run through the sprinkler and be fine. I am ready for it to not reach 100 every day.

Seriously eggs?

I know what all you moms are thinking out there, Kayla do you ever watch your kids! The answer is YES I do, but beleive it or not, I somtimes need to use the bathroom, shower, clean, take out trash, vaccumme, make beds, fold clothing, and oh ya, work Full time from home. no my son is not strapped to the front of my chest so that I can see him at all times. This morning I was visiting with a friend heaven forbid, and this is what we walked in to see Brex up to after only minutes left alone. I am glad that Jen was able to encourage me to grab my camera before helping me dive in to clean this mess up. Thanks Jen!!! Can you beleive that Londyn was seriously sad about this only because it was now that she decided that she really wanted some eggs to eat, UMMM Sorry, mommy will buy eggs later sweety:) I am thinking that I need to start my son his own blog to document all the tourture he is putting me through while being little, what do ya think? Wish me luck, I am headed back to work!

what a mess

I am sure the picture says it all. This is the story of my life latley! it is one huge mess after another. I sure hope my kids are having a great time at the expense

of there mothers insanity:) I am probley no longer the neat freek that I once was, and that is not because I choose not to be, it is because HOW IN THE WORLD can I possibly keep up with mess after mess of this magnitude? It's funny how I am able to look at this entire box of goldfish that was stompted to crumbs on my kitchen floor and just shrug my sholders and not even be angry. Infact if anything it maked me laugh, and I just think to myself "hmm it could be worse", and i really mean it.

Happy Birthday Shout Out!

Here is a shout out to my little sis Angela and to my new sis in law Kenz who married my little bro Jordon. Seriously I have the coolest family!!!!!

We are getting warmed up for Halloween over at our pad

Londyn got her new halloween costume yesterday and couldnt wait to try it on. Umm we havent gotten it off of her since. And Brex was feeling left out, so I had to dig out some old costumes that I had run accross in the garage a little while ago. To bad Barney isnt popular, Brex makes a cute one:)
oh and I guess we already owned a ladybug costume from when Britt was little. However this is a super thick fleece material, and we all know that noone would last 10min in this thing in Arizona at Halloween, it is still way to hot for this. We used that one while we had normal halloween weather in Utah.
Britt and I are seriously considering our great costumes. For those of you who cant remember what I am ( I only say this because I couldnt remember to save my life) that I am a power puff Girl! I am thinking Barney is a good look for Britt also!

Londyn's first day of preschool

Here is lu-lu all ready for school. She has been wearing her backpack for 3 days straight
Brexen wanted to be in a picture too.

Londyn and her little friend Audry
It has felt like forever for londyns school to start this year. Every day for the past month since Britt started she has asked if today she got to go to school also. Finally the day came!

edible playdough

For any of you who watch "jon & kate plus 8" faithfully remember that they made an edible playdough. And she gave out the recipe. I have wanted to make it for the kids ever since, so I finally got around to it. They loved to play with it, it kept them busy for awhile.
Brex wore it best!
the girls having fun! and yes londyn's hair is in 2 different hairstyles:))

Daddy out for a swim with the kids
Brittany getting in the pool
Brex having a blast!
there was this fun little splash pad that was great
oh here is another bubble bath shot:)

The kids had such a great time at the waterpark there. It has a big lazy river, water slide, and several pools and hottubs and the splashpad. Needless to say they were never board.

Marriott for the weekend

My little family posing for a pic:)
The kids played on this big grassy area for about an hour chasing and feeding the ducks and playing tag.

Who new that Brex was going to find himself a girlfriend while we were there? they were so cute and she just followed him everywhere while he was playing hard to get.
What better way to end a fun day than with a huge BUBBLE bath!

This past Labor Day weekend our family decided that we wanted to get away, but not have to be stuck in a car for a long drive. So we decided on going to a resort here in the valley. We had a blast and have decided to go back atleast once a year.
