Our 5 year anniversary was this weekend. Holy hannah I've been married for 5 years!! It's been a bumpy ride at times, but I love that we love each other so much we can work through anything. We had so much fun this weekend celebrating! We were going to go to Vegas but decided to stay home and just enjoy day to day life without being parents for a couple days. Dustin took me to a great sushi place (yes I know people I'm not suppose to eat sushi when I'm preggo) and we then went to see Saw 5-not that great-On Saturday we had a yummy breakfast at Denny's and spent the day in Saint George shopping. We finally bought some clothes for ourselves and didn't buy the girls anything, a great accomplishment. When returning from Saint George we picked up Bajio for Dustins fam and watched the UFC fight...couldn't miss it...Sunday was more a lounge day. We ran a couple errands and had lunch at Chili's and watched a movie I had rented like 7 days earlier. Pretty low key to people without kids, but so much fun for us considering those are day to day things we really never get to do without carting around our army of children. I didn't realize how much we spent eating, lol.
So the girls had a lucky chance to go spend the weekend at their favorite, grandmas and grandpas house! We met my mom halfway in Filmore on Friday and picked them up on Sunday. The got to go to Chuck E Cheese, do the trick or treating at the zoo and hang out with Nathan and Gus (Nathans dog). They had a blast being spoiled and spending time with people they hardly get to see anymore. I got to hear about it all the way home. I'm so lucky I have a safe place to take my kids when Dustin and I need some one on one time.
Now it's Monday and we're getting back into the groove of our day to day life. Dustins back at work, Khaliah in school...it's like it never happened...lol. But we have such a fun week of preparing for Halloween, Khaliah was even invited to her first birthday party for Wednesday. It's gonna be a costume week considering all the Halloween parties the girls get to go to. And YAY halloween on Friday!!
Thanks for the weekend mom and steve and of course Dustin for it pressed my refresh button.

Favorite things my kids say!

Kids are fun especially when they start talking and developing their personalities along with their view of life. My kids say some really adorable things...
KHALIAH:
"Thank you my princess mommy."
"I need a phone number so I can text and call people at the store."
"Open your heart and let it be true."
"We're just trying to be parents but it's hard cuz my kids are always crying and hungry. They're always hungry."
"Well we're going to dance so we can be married."
"I'm going to marry my dad cuz he's a boy."
"Look Mahlayah wants a nuckle sandwich."

TAYSIAH:
She will come up to me and say "I wanna hold you."
"She's being mean to me."
"But why?" (she learned that from her sister)
"You're Lisa, I'm Taysiah, and Daddy's daddy."
"We're being dinosaurs."
"Wanna fight?"

It's definately not as funny when writing them down, but put them in a certain situation and it's hilarious. I know there is like a billion things that are more funny than that, but these are just some recent random things that make us laugh on a daily basis. Enjoy.

Need recipe help!

For some reason my mind has gone completely blank and I can't ever think of something good and healthy to make my kids to eat. It seems that everything I can think of is something they don't want...hmmm...any suggestions? I already know sandwich veriations, and quesadillas... else is there? Why didn't I have trouble before, I know I made more...my mind has just been so blank with EVERYTHING on my mind!

First Snow!

This morning we woke up to a bucket load of snow on the ground. YAY! I for one am so ready for winter...maybe it's the holiday bug. But just turning on Craigs fire place, drinking hot chocolate, putting on warm clothes and slippers, the scent of the heater turning on just reminds me how exciting the first part of winter is. I can't wait to buy cinnamon scented candles to fill the house with holiday joy. Snowmen, sleding, snowball fights...cuddling in bed watching a good movie with the one you love....awwwe the winter life. I think I'm overly excited, but experiencing extreme emotions seems to be normal right now. Here are some pics of what we woke up to on an early October morning!

The curse of nasea!

I am dying right now with just feeling sick, sick, sick. I haven't thrown up but I want to just to relieve myself from this feeling. I can't find anything to eat that doesn't make me want to gag. So I just snack all day to keep from feeling hungry which makes me feel even more sick. I haven't experienced this symptom with the 3 other pregnancies and it really does make life hard trying to get through the days. I'm hoping it doesn't last very much longer!
I've been absolutely freezing everyday so wearing a sweatshirt, pants/sweats, socks and a blanket is very necessary. And it sucks because Melinda is always burning hot so she likes to crank up the air. Burrr.
Just thought I'd stop by briefly to complain about the horrible symptoms I'm having and had not expected. But on the bright side everything still seems to be ok as far as the pregnancy goes...or at least the baby is still healthy.
