Crazy spots to fall asleep!

Saturday night our friends came down to have game night. The kids watched movies and ate popcorn. After awhile Chelsey and Sarah decided to play on the internet while the little ones fell asleep. Us adults had so much fun that we just kept going on with our games. When we went to check on the kids and this is what we found...Chelsey's is the BEST!!!!

Chelsey fell asleep at the laptop...Priceless! Sarah laying across the couch behind her

Ky, Nick and Issy all curled up on the couch laying in difficult positions..that I think would hurt me..But funny to watch them sleep

Kylee's first tooth

So my ky-kers lost her first tooth. Funny story is what caused this tooth to be loose in the first place. We noticed that an adult tooth was growing back behind her baby tooth. Then it started to make her baby one loose. Right next to that one is another adult tooth growing a little too early. We started calling her Shark Girl. So yesterday her Grandpa Jim came into town and we showed him her loose tooth. Of course he took advantage of that. He right away grabbed onto it and pulled. She screamed, and ran off. Then we got her to come back. I showed him that she was having teeth grow behind it to force the tooth out. So he said I will have to check that out. He told he to let him see her shark teeth. So she showed him and with team effort we did it. I held her arms and her yanked the tooth out....Wahla..we have a place for the Adult tooth to come forward! She was so excited. She put it under her pillow right away and the next morning she came running out with a dollar. The tooth fairy had come!! She said she had tried to catch her...but that Tooth Fairy is Sneaky! Maybe next time Ky!

First Project for Chelsey

So 4th grade has already shown it is going to be different for Chelsey. She got her first project that she had to complete and had a week to do it. They are studying California History and Geography in Social Studies. She had to use at home materials to make up the 4 regions in California. SHe had fun doing this.



The 4 California regions. Mountain, Valley, Desert, and Coast.


We used Salt with Blue food coloring to make the Coast, Oregano to make the valley, popcorn for the mountains, and oatmeal for the desert.

Chelsey putting on her Coast.

We had no problem with all the other regions but the Coast. What the heck was blue in the house that we could use....I came up with Salt with Blue food coloring...It worked!

Visit with Michelle

Michelle and I are a year apart in age. We grew up together and are very close cousins, and friends. We would play every sunday while I was in Moroni visiting our Grandma & Grandpa Bagley. We have shared some great memories. Since growing up and moving away we don't always get to see each other. If we do its not for a long period of time at all. So I had the great fortune of spending some time with her while she was in San Diego visiting her older sister Jenni. We went down there and took her to Seaport Village. Walked around there, visited the famous "Kiss" statue and then went on a Sea Lions Tour. We finished up with Dinner and Ice cream in the village. It was so fun to walk and spend the whole daay with her. We haven't done that in YEARS!


Hmm...I think we might be related...lol. What do you think?

Watching these two Sea Lions fight back and forth to see who could stay on the deck. It was pretty funny!

Issy decided to join the statue and pose.

That is one pretty cute statue. I think I might take her home..lol

The Famous "Kiss" statue.

Chelsey on the carousel

Issy and I..she was a little scared at first. But enjoyed it after it started going.

Chelsey liked having birds on her.

Kylee didn't like it when the guy put the bird on her head. I think that was too much for her.

Issy putting on a brave smile while he sets the bird on her shoulder.

Well my girls went back to school today. Chelsey advanced onto the 4th grade. Her teacher's name is Mrs. DHouti. She was excited to get her. Looks like maybe it will be a good year. While Kylee entered Kindergarten. Her teacher's name is Mrs. Herrera. She seems like a nice teacher and I think Ky will enjoy her first year in school.


Chelsey starts 4th grade....So cute!

Wow, she has grown up so much!!

My Ky...In Kindergarten!

Kylee and her best friend Savannah. They start Kindergarten together. At least they will be in seperate classes, so the teachers have a chance.

Chelsey didn't have any homework, so she got to just relax. Not for long though. I am sure she will get some next week..ha ha

New Mod to the car

Justin has a new mod, and toy on the car. Our friend Rudy came down this weekend and helped install a "door popping kit" on the car. Now we can shave the front handles and get the car painted. So the doors are now on a remote system. Justin was soooo happy and thanks Rudy for all your help. It was funny because we had Chelsey's party going on and Rudy was working on this. So Justin was going back and forth. At one time I took a drink out to Rudy and called him my own personal mechanic..stuck in my garage. He laughed and said it was fine. They all love the chance to work on cars/trucks. Plus we fed him after.

Rudy getting the drill ready.


Getting in there....

He was getting tired of me taking pictures..lol. I think he spent more time hiding under there than actual working..ha ha. Just kidding He did an awesome job. Thanks Rudy

The finished product...Watch the magic doors!!

Chelsey's b-day party

Chelsey had a great b-day party. It started out Saturday night. Her friend Sarah came down to sleep over. I made appetizer foods for them like pizza bagels and honey bbq wings. Then I made my yummy cookies. They ate, and watched a movie. Finally I put my younger two to bed and the fun began. The girls got their hair curled, nails painted, and a little make-up on. They had so much fun. The next morning I made Choc. chip pancakes for everyone. Then they hung out and played until 1pm when friends showed up for the party portion.
So the party portion the kids played, went on the slip n' slide. Justn made pizza..of course. Then Chelsey opened some presents, and to finish they had cake! It was alot of fun and thanks to everyone who helped make her day special!

CHELSEY IS 9!!!!

My Baby is 9 yrs old today. As I reflect back on this day 9 yrs ago, I would still be sitting in the hospital waiting for you to make your appearance. That was deffinantly a LONG day! We started way early in the morning. They started everything to induce my labor and get going. But by noon they soon found out my baby was swimming in her very own pool. I had double the amount of amniotic fluid. Causing her to just swim and not have any pressure to push her down. So after careful consideration and waiting a full 12 hrs (Drs. orders) they finally took me C-section. There waiting was my tiny little bundle of joy! Chelsey came into this world at 10:05pm. She weighed 7 lbs. 9 ozes and 21 inches long. At that point she showed her power, persistance, and red-headed stubborness, while in the nursery she took her little finger up inside the binni they put on her head and wiggled that thing until it finally came off. The whole time her grandma's, and Aunts stood by cheering her on. What an amazing girl she is! I love you Chelsey Corinne, and I hope your birthday was spectacular! Because You are!
