On my way to girls camp with baby NUMBER 6!!!!

This has been me the past month....getting ready for girls camp and having fun morning sickness! We have been so blessed with this little miracle and our family is SO excited! The lord has really blessed me with "less" morning sickness then usual, the strength to serve, and a husband willing to give me many priesthood blessings. I head off to girls camp on Monday and I'm excited for the fresh mountain air. I think it will feel amazing! Every smell in my house makes me want to vomit right now! Scott says I could work for the police sniffing for dead bodies because my nose is extremely sensitive to smells! I will post fun pictures when I get home!

I'm a BAD Blogger...

So Life around my house lately consists of Girls camp meetings..planning girls camp...buying things for girls camp...worrying if everything will be perfect for girls camp...feeling inadaquate about girls camp(How do I teach first aid when I don't know it myself??)...and more girls camp meetings! So I have been so consumed by this that I have not posted in awhile and truthfully it might be another while after this!

So this is what has been happening...

Babysat my parents new puppy(Belle).Brutis wanted to play with her so bad but could have swallowed her whole if he wanted. I went to Idaho for 2 days this last week so that my sister and mom could help me make journals for...GIRLS CAMP! That is my cute sister, Holly, who is 17 weeks prego, working in the small "sweat shop" I had going in my mom's kitchen. Needless to say, I don't sew, but no worries I put them right to work and let them have two, 15min breaks! Thank you Mom, Holly, Jenny, and Tammy for all your help! I took Jax with me to Idaho and he, along with all of the granchildren, LOVE Belle! He had her all wrapped up in a blanket and was bouncing her like a baby...so motherly...he would be such a good big brother...

Then on Thursday we went to Jesse's choir concert and this was the only picture I could get closeup of him while he was running around. He loves choir! I can't believe how he is growing up! He will be 14 in just a few months and it seems like just yesterday he was born. The best is his voice is changing and has gotten deeper but he is still trying to grow hairy armpits! I think he counts every hair and his goal is to be hairy like his Uncle Tyler!

Breaking news....

This made me laugh so hard that I had to share! Look at my link for funny mormons for more!
Breaking News: Top Ten Talk that Should Never be Given
by Bettyanne Bruin
I was once in a ward where a man gave a talk on empathizing with Satan. I don't recall there ever being a quieter chapel, as everyone sat there... stunned. His talk include such ideas as, poor, poor Satan, that it must have been so hard for him to fight against the plan, what it might have been that was really bothering him and how we should have empathy for ALL of our brothers and sisters, including Satan.
This has prompted the following list:Top Ten Other Talks that Should Never be Given in Church:
1 - Can Tobacco Be All Bad if it Has Medicinal Purposes?
2 - The Pros and cons of paying tithing
3 - Because I have enough faith, I will never need anti-anxiety medications
4 - I Lost 100 Pounds Drinking Coca Cola
5 - In lieu of testimony, playing an Oakrigdge Boys song (this actually happened in a ward I was in also)
6 - Expressing gratitude for extended life after suffering a brain aneurysm while have intimate relations with spouse (this was also true in the same ward) and he explained in detail how this happened. I covered the ears of the child next to me!
7 - After Reading all of Isaiah, I Believe I Know the actual day the Second Coming will Arrive
8 - I Never Do My Home Teaching and Yet I Still Feel Blessed
9 - Because I got my husband sent home from his mission, he got a great job he would have missed out on
10 - How Spending So Much on Food STorage made us lose our home.

My Biggest Pet Peeve.....

WHO works out like this????? As I walked through the gym this morning I couldn't help but notice all the women surrounding me were freshly showered, hair done, makeup, and complete with the "little outfits". What???? I wished I had taken a pic of myself as something for you to all compare to but here goes...

green abercrombie sweats with bleach stains

black sports bra(very faded)

white plain tshirt

NO makeup, my hair in a pony with hair sticking out everywhere, and I don't even think I remembered to brush my teeth before I came.

Should I be embarrassed? I go to the gym so that I can feel good, look good for my husband, and just stay healthy. I think at my gym they must be doing the fitness competition for some beauty pagent every day. Now don't get me wrong, if your single, the gym can be a great pick up place but I saw many wedding rings. Do they break a sweat with their long hair perfectly roundbrushed down their back and makeup ready for the day? Oh and d on't forget the lipstick with liner! Obviously these women do it for someone. The Men(boys) or is it competition for the other women? As I walked through the gym I couldn't help but feel like I was some PWT that needed to be working out to Richard Simmons(Sweatin to the oldies) in the living room of my trailer home! lol! Will I change the way I dress when I go to the gym? Hell NO! More power to all those women who waste so much time getting ready but My old sweats are the best!!!!

2 new additions to our family.....

You either love them or hate them but...I love rats! We got two little boys, george(curious george) is tan and white and Templeton(charlottes web) is gray and white. They are so sweet. When they hear my voice they run to the door of their cage looking for yummy frozen peas! Scott thinks I'm crazy but the kids absolutely love them. They love them so much that I had to put locks on the cage doors so that they can't get them out. I didn't want them lose somewhere in my house!

I had to post a pic of Jax's lastest sack lunch. He put Beefaroni in his ever famous little ziplock baggie and had entire bag of bbq chips ready to go. I love how healthy he wants to eat! Takes after his dad!

I had to tell everyone how proud I am of Jesse and Tyler! They just finished their Scuba certification and passed their tests! They were in classes with all adults and were a little intimidated by that but they both loved it. Scott is taking them on a 3 day diving trip to Catalina in July. They are super excited!

Jax's lunch....

I had to post this funny story about Jax! Scott has been "trying" to go off of caffiene and so he now is drinking caffeine free Pepsi for every Pepsi he drinks. Jax loves this because Scott now can share his Pepsi with him, never mind the Sugar! Well..Scott and I were getting ready for the day and Jax comes marching in our room to tell us he packed his lunch already. When we turned to see his "sack lunch" we were laughing so hard! He said, after we told him that probably wasn't a good lunch, " but its Petsi without taffiene!" Oh the things our children learn from us is scary! I love and hate watching him grow! He told me today he was a 6 yr old, not 3. Why do they try to grow up so fast?????

Back to Reality!

We had such an amazing vacation. This was the view from our room. I loved this place! I laid on the beach everyday and read 5 books! It was Heaven! Scott became Scuba certified while I did nothing! Beautiful beaches and country side and great people. It is definetly so much poorer then Mexico. 34 peso's to the dollar instead of 10 like Mexico. It was Holy week while we were there so the kids were out of school and they were everywhere waving but never begging(like Mexico) just excited to see you. We went into a Dominican home which was the size of my kitchen(the whole house) and they are so happy and live so humble. I can see why missionaries love to serve in these countries. There are so many humble good people. We loved our servers in the buffets who knew us because all we drank was bottled water and Pepsi!

Now for the only 2 negatives about our trip..well ok actually 3. First and the worst...the resort was almost entirely european vacationing, no Americans anywhere....it was cool to hear all the languages and even talk to some from...Germany, Austria, France, Russia, England...but...despite the cool language they sunbath in a very unique way... they prefer only wearing bottoms and from the looks of it they haven't ever supported the sisters on top. If you know what I mean. Think brown, leather, down to the waist. So interesting...different culture i guess? By the end of the trip we had become somewhat desensitized to the sisters jogging down the beach(seriously) but couldn't get out of our head that its still wrong! The men also ONLY wear speedo's and the funniest is the last day we had a guy next to us that was laying out on is stomach and put his speedo up his bum cheeks like a thong so he could tan his bum! Seriously...so gross! I couldn't look at him or I would crack up laughing!
Second were all the Chain Smokers! We are in this beautiful place, laying on the beach and the trails of smoke are everywhere! Do they have a high rate of lung disease or cancer? I would be so curious to know!
Third, you have to be so careful what you eat and drink...they tell you to not even let water from the shower in your mouth and you brush with bottled water too. Well despite all this Scott got sick and it was not fun! He spent alot of time on the toilet for 3 days and even when we got home! I loved the food! I had fresh fruit everyday and thats the part I miss the most!

Heaven.....

Jadyn's braces gone!!

NO Braces!!! I have not blogged forever so I'm going to blog all of it now! Jadyn got her braces off right before we left for DR. She will have them off for only a year and then get them back on again but she loves the break she has right now without them!

Rockstar Kwa-fyur photoshoot...

My life has been so crazy! We have felt for so long that we needed to have our own product line and we have finially just decided to do it. It is so much WORK!!!! I think if I had had any idea before I might not have ever started! Between trademark attorney's, chemists, finding bottles, design team, and everything else...AHHHHH! We just recieved our first samples from the chemists of shampoo and cond is coming soon...We had to do our first photo shoot yesterday. It was so much fun! These are pics I took, but look at my list of friends and Peekaboo Photo's and you can see of few that have been edited! It was a great experience. I was on my feet all day doing hair and trying to direct the shoot but we got some incredible pics. Thanks to all who helped! Allison, thank you for giving me the confidence to just do it! Everyone who helped with hair and our make artist Ashlee was amazing! Rich, Katie, and Dan are amazing photographers! Best of all were our beautiful models...the nicest, sweetest, girls. Beautiful on the inside and out.. Crazy right? Aren't models supposed to be diva's? These girls were far from that...
