SNOW IN VEGAS!!!!

I know I haven't blogged for awhile but I could not pass this one up! Yes, there is snow in OUR BACKYARD!!! Trent and Brayden loved it from the time it started coming down. Brayden said, "can I open my presents now!" For some reason he has connected snowing with opening Christmas presents. Those two played and played in the snow having snow ball fights and just jumping on the trampoline. I went out with them to play and man do they have good arms, they both nailed me multiple times from across the backyard with a snowball! After we made a snowman, I decided to wake Jaxon up. He was very cautious at first. I didn't have any gloves for him, so the first picture I took of him he was trying to get the snow off the ball that was on the lawn. As soon as he touched the snow he started crying. So I got a nice picture of that too! Once I put some socks on his hands and showed him how to make a ball out of the snow and throw it at his brothers he loved it. I guess it might of helped that the rule was no one could throw a snowball at Jaxon so he had a great time. I had to empty my memory card before we went sledding so I thought I would blog this and I will blog sledding later.
 

Happy 5th Birthday Brayden!

Yesterday was Brayden's Birthday! I can't believe he is five years old. I know he doesn't look it but he is. We had a great day yesterday he woke up to 5 balloons in his room with $1 bill in each one. He asked how he got them out of there I said, "I don't know what do you think?" He went and got the fly swatter and started whacking away. I then told him you probably should just sit on them so he finally popped them all! Then of course a birthday wouldn't be a birthday without some roll up pancakes for my kids!( AKA - Swedish pancakes, Crepes) My kids love them but I hate standing in front of the stove forever and they eat them as fast as I can make them and then want more! So on there birthdays they know I don't have a choice but to do it for them. He had preschool yesterday so we took in treats to the class, but the highlight of the day was his very first friends party! We told him he could choose 3 friends and we would take all of them to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. So we loaded up the car after Randy got home and headed out with Randy, Me, Jaxon, Brayden, and his friends Maddox, Nick, and Avrie in one car. Brayden's cousin Zachy that he adores followed us out there with Trenton in his truck. The Shark Reef was so much fun it was fun to watch the kids and see how excited they were about EVERYTHING! They gave us the wands so we can plug the number in of the exhibit that we were looking at and hear about it. I thought the kids wouldn't want to use these but they were all about them. They wanted me to push the number for all of them. They Loved the sharks swimming over their heads and under there feet!!! When we got back in the car I asked them if they had fun, they all said, "YES"! Cute Nick said can we do this next time.After the reef we went and picked up some pizza and back to our house for presents. Grandma & Grandpa came over to meet us at our house for presents and of course help for putting the presents together!
Brayden is my most challenging child but he is also the one that comes up with the funniest things. He loves to play with Trenton they are best friends and he is lost at home without him. When it comes to sports Brayden is a natural. He loves playing baseball and has a great arm. He always had since he was little. A couple of years ago my nephew David was over at our house. Now David always seemed to have a way of talking Brayden into things and calming him down. Well this time was a little different. Brayden had gave me a water bottle and wanted me to write a B on top so he knew it was his. So I did this and he was convinced that it was not a B, and started having a fit because he wanted a B on there. This was the time that David walked in. He asked Brayden what was the matter and Brayden chucked the water bottle across the room at David screaming it's not a B. He only missed David's head because he quickly moved it when he saw the bottle come flying at him. ( Do you see why he has been my challenge) He has grown up a lot in the past two years. He is very helpful to me and always keeps Randy and I laughing at the funny things he says.He is a good friend and his teachers alway say they love having him in class. We love you Brayden and hope you had a great BIRTHDAY!!!

Cute Story

I have to tell this story about Trent. Today after church Randy told me that they had to go to a fireside tonight. Trent of course was listening in the back seat. Randy and the boys have been building a lot of fires lately and they went with him to scouts a few weeks ago and learned about fire safety and loved it. Well when Trenton heard that they had a fireside he got all excited and said,
"we're building a fire tonight!" Randy and I started laughing and I guess we never explained it to him because he just finished saying his prayers and asked Heavenly Father to keep Randy & Cameron safe at the campfire!! I didn't have a heart to explain to him what it was after that. I thought it was so innocent and cute that I had to write it down before I forgot.

Needed to Catch Up

I know I really need to catch up. WARNING WARNING this is going to be a long post!!! The Sunday before Halloween Randy's aunt passed away. He was really close with his aunt as he was growing up so he had a really hard time. He ended up flying up to Oregon to be there with his family and for the funeral. I stayed home with the kids and made sure they got to their Halloween parties for school. Randy flew home on Halloween, he made it home about an hour before we went to the church for Trunk or Treat. The kids had made a welcome home sign for him so I thought it was only appropriate to get their picture in front of it. We really missed Randy while he was gone. He hasn't been doing many side jobs so we are used to having him home with us.
The kids had a lot of fun at their Halloween parties for school. Here is a few pictures that I took.


Every year we go to the Trunk or Treat at the church. It is always a lot of fun and it is much faster than Trick or Treating!! ( I really don't like Halloween) Pretty much all of the family goes down to the church now so it makes it a lot of fun and you can always count on Jess & Liz to surprise us!


Jaxon was the cutest little baseball player. He wouldn't let me put on the superman costume but the baseball player he didn't have a problem at all with.


Okay that is enough for today I am tired!!! I post more later!

I don't know what to do with myself!!!

It's just Jaxon and I tonight!! I am feeling very lonely. You know all of the times I wish for my kids to go to bed so I can have some peace and quiet! Well, tonight they are not here and all I am doing is wishing they were. Randy had a scout camp this weekend for the deacons. Cam was in some major trouble and wasn't able to go but Randy had already taken the day off tomorrow so the camp was still on. Randy called about two hours before they were going to go and asked if he could take Trent with him. I very cautiously said okay. When Trent got home from school and we told him to go pack he was thrilled. Poor little Brayden was broken hearted because he wanted to go so bad. Randy caved in and took them both. They were both very excited this is the first time they have camped in a Tent without me. (Except for the backyard) Anyway, I am missing the full house tonight. I thought it was going to be great but it feels very empty. I will stop blubbering now and go watch some sappy movies.

Do You Remember???

 
Do you remember just being a kid and having fun? I remember having tether ball tournaments in our backyard growing up. I was the champ by the way:)! Well, on Trent's Birthday, in July the Aunts and Uncles gave him a tether ball. We are very spoiled in our family we are not satisfied with just any old tether ball pole we have to have a GRANDPA MADE ONE. Grandpa makes ones that will last forever! Tonight my parents came over to our house for dinner because the missionaries were coming over and Randy wasn't going to be home. Trent got a nice surprise when grandpa pulled up in Uncle Lonney's truck with a tether ball pole strapped on the back. Trent was able to use the crane on the truck to lift the pole up! ( because it is that heavy duty that you need a crane) They sat it in place and the smile on Trent's face says it all. I think his first game was with grandpa but I didn't get a picture of that. If we could only be a kid again!!! Thanks Grandpa!!

THANK YOU!

Do you ever have one of those moments where you are thankful for the great people in your life? This morning was one of those moments for me. I was getting all the kids ready and out the door for school. I went into Jaxon's room to get his clothes out. I found these cute little jeans and shirt and got him dressed. Then I realized that everything that Jaxon had on were clothes from my wonderful sister- in - law Tracey. Tracey is one of those people that think that the things they do for others are not a BIG deal. She has such a big heart and she has always been there for me and whatever problem I was going through or just to laugh with me or have me boss her around :) etc...! She always seems to know exactly what I need without me even telling her! I am so grateful for my brother Joe marrying her (BTW Happy Birthday Joe!) so I can have her in my life. I won't get any mushier now, but I am grateful to all the great friends and family that I have surrounding me that keep me going and that are such great examples to me and my children.


This is the cute clothes I pulled out and the only happy picture I could get Jaxon to pose for was one where he was getting candy out of our Halloween bowl.

Oops, Got them in the wrong order!

Now for the BAD!!
Trent was at school today and fell and hit his head on the black top. The nurse called me about 11:30 and said that he was up in the nurses office for about a half hour and had ice on it. She said it was a pretty big goose egg but she had sent him back to class to go to lunch. She told him if it was getting worse to tell his teacher and she would call me to come and pick him up. It took everything in me to not go get him right then!! Anyway, she called me at 1:00 and said, I think you need to come and get Trenton." I didn't hesitate and was there in a few minutes. I walked in and the picture I had in my head of what it looked like wasn't like what I saw. The thing was huge!!! They said it had gotten bigger since he was in last and they were worried about his eyes. They suggested that I should take him to the doctor. I left and called the doctor and they said they would just send me to the hospital for x-rays so I decided to skip the doctor and go to the ER. After 2 hours there they sent me home. They did a scan to make sure everything was fine and then told me to make sure I watch him for vomiting and other head trauma stuff. You can't really tell from the picture but it was not a pretty sight this afternoon. Luckily it has gone down a lot since then.

 

Good News or Bad News?

Okay I will tell you the good news first. Brayden can ride his bike with no training wheels!!! We were out front the other night and he came up to me and asked if I could take his wheels off his bike. I asked him why he wanted me to take them off, he said, " because I only want 2 wheels not 4. So there it was his decision to become a big kid. He didn't want any help I just showed him how to start out and then stood near him. It only took him about five minutes and he was riding like a pro. He was very proud and he was sure to tell grandpa that he did it by himself. I am very proud of him he picked it up really quick, but he had to be ready to try it we can not force him to do anything!

 

This one is EASY!

I got tagged by my great friend Liz:) I hate tags but this one is really easy!

TAG # 2
Here are the rules: You're just supposed to type 6 quirky things about yourself. Then tag 6 others.

I guess I needed to get caught up!! I left the computer after making my other two post and thought I am really greatful for my husband tonight. I don't know if this is appropriate or not but I am going to say it anyway. One thing that Randy has always been good about doing is the dreadful trip to the store for tampons!! He has never once been squimish about it or refused to pick them up when I have asked him to. Even if he is dead asleep he will still go and get them for me. I guess the reason for this post is, I was wondering because this was always a subject that I think my brothers were always squimish about but, do your husbands have a problem doing a little shopping for you?????

What a handsome boy if I do say so myself! I didn't even make him pose like this. He must be a natural! LOL


 

It has been awhile!

I know I have been such a slacker lately when it comes to blogging. I don't even have a good excuse. I even realized that I never blogged Brayden's first day of preschool. ( Yikes, I really am a bad mom!) He started preschool a few weeks ago. They have a wonderful program through the City of Henderson. Trenton went there for two years as well. This will be Brayden's second year. I can't believe how time fast goes. I know you always hear people say that but you never really full understand until you see your kids grow. He was not so sure about going back to school the night of open house. He actually cried to go into the classroom that night. Well the first day of school came and it was just like another day for him. His good buddy Maddox was there with him that day, cousin Avrie, friends Nick, & Sariah.

 

I know, way to much info!

I know this is way too much info on me today but I need to appease Nicole. Actually I read more about her tag and it looks like we have a few things in common.

4 things I adore about my husband:
1. He is crazy. I know I have wrote about this is the past, but he definitely knows how to keep it lively around our house.
2. His honesty can be a good thing or a bad. He never hesitates to tell me what he thinks about something. For example last nights dinner was way too dry for him!
3. I love the way he plays with our children. It can get really annoying when that is all he does, but I have to remind myself that the children love it!
4. He is such a hard worker. He has worked his regular job plus a ton of side jobs just to support our family so I didn't have to work anymore.

4 Movies I would watch more than once:
1.A Leauge of Their Own
2.Son in Law
3.Hitch
4.50 First Dates

4 TV shows I would watch more than once:

Okay I will finally do this tag thing

I got tagged four times so I thought I should finally do it. I figured I could pick the tag that was the easiest.
5 interesting things about me, this might be hard.

1. I am a very competitive person. I grew up with 7 brothers and only 1 sister what can you expect. I do try to keep it under wraps but those of you in my bunco group know that I am really loud and obnoxios when it comes to winning something.

2. I used to substitute teach.I actually ended up doing a couple of long term jobs, so I taught in a first grade classroom for 6 months. I loved it! I hated being away from my kids but I had to do it. It was a great experience for me and it also counted as two of my classes towards my teaching degree. Yes, I am still going to finish my degree someday! I haven't taken a class since I was pregnant with Brayden, yikes it has been that long. I do love working with kids and I miss being in the classroom. I think that is why I like being so involved in PTA because I feel at home when I am in the school setting.

3. I make diaper cakes for fun. If you have read my blog in the past I have a picture of one of my cakes. I did get paid for that one, what a perk! I am very proud of myself for this one because most of you know that I am not a very creative person or crafty for that matter. Tell me to play a game with a group of kids, no problem. Tell me to tie a bow or make a poster or anything else crafty I might have a panic attack. I have always admired those people that can make such cute things, this is why I am so proud of myself.

4. According to Tracey I am bossy. I guess that is probably were my kids get it from. I don't try to be bossy I just can't stand to keep quiet when I see stuff that I know is being done wrong.

5. I am really shy. I know most of you don't think that but I really am. Growing up I was too afraid to say anything. Then I went away to school in Cedar City for two years. I loved it up there and also found the confidence in myself. I am a big believer in being secure with yourself. When I was growing up I thought I had to be like my sister. Tall, thin, cheerleader, the one that all the boys wanted. Well I finally realized that I am not that person and I needed to be confident in the person that I was. So now I am loud, friendly and try not to compare myself with others and just be happy being ME! Still underneath I am that shy girl and she comes out sometimes. Besides, I can't be shy anymore being married to my crazy, funny and social husband. He doesn't give me a choice he is friends with everyone. He knows all the neighbors by name and knows what is going on in their lives. ( you just have to love him )

We lost a loving member of our family

I know that some of you know, but we lost a great member of our family last week. We have had him for about 4 years now and he as been a very contributing member of our family. It was a sad day to see him go. My boys have had some great times with him, I had to have one last photo with all of my boys and him before he left.

ON THE OTHER HAND I DID A HAPPY DANCE TO HAVE HIM GO! RANDY BOUGHT THE TRACTOR SO HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO RENT ONE WHEN HE DID SIDE JOBS. WELL I HAVE BEEN VERY GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF THOSE SIDE JOBS BECAUSE IT HAS SUPPORTED OUR FAMILY FOR A LONG TIME. NOW THAT RANDY HAS A GREAT JOB AND WE DON'T HAVE TO COUNT ON HIS SIDE JOBS ANYMORE WE DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO SELL IT. BESIDES THE FACT THE WAY THE ECONOMY IS NOW DAYS HE HASN'T USED THE TRACTOR SINCE MARCH. WHAT A BLESSING IT HAS BEEN IN OUR LIVES TO HAVE IT. IT IS ALSO A GREAT BLESSING TO SELL IT!! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK RANDY AND THE TRACTOR!!

This last weekend we had a family reunion in Mesquite. I have to say our family looks forward to this one every year. It is with my mom's side of the family. They are all so fun, that we look forward to seeing everyone. We go up every year and last year we started staying in these really nice timeshares. Well, Joe had the best room last year. I never saw it but heard all of the fuss about it. My Aunt Renee wanted that room! So last year she went to the front desk to reserve it for this year and it was already reserved. My brother Wayne had beat her to it! To my benefit Wayne and Dina were not able to come. So we ended up with their room. We were sad that they weren't there, but man it was a nice room. It was big enough that I could put Jaxon to sleep in the back room and wouldn't wake him up if we were noisy in the front room. We got up there Friday afternoon. Randy went golfing and it was up to me to go shopping for food for the weekend. Lucky for me my dad came with. It was a fun little shopping trip. We took Jaxon and it was fun to have grandpa with us. Jaxon and grandpa kept going around and hiding and scarring me. Jaxon thought that was great! Then we came back and went swimming, which I have to say is really fun now that Brayden's not hanging on my neck and screaming to get out the whole time. Now he is a fish and you can't talk him into getting out of the pool. We then went to dinner at this little Mexican restaurant there. We love there food, the chips a salsa are great. Bowling time came next, Jaxon was exhausted because he hadn't napped all day but he was a trooper for a little while. Saturday was the big day were we all met at a recreation center and eat, play games, and have an auction. This year was really fun. My Uncle Bevin did the Olympics. I had to sit out and watch Jaxon but my crazy husband played and had a blast. To finish off our night we went ice blocking. This is what my kids look forward to the most. They have the best hill for it there in Mesquite. I think we ended up getting 14 or so ice blocks. It was so much fun even Jaxon went down the hill with Uncle Joe running beside him. (Thanks Joe) After he went down Joe was his new best friend. He kept saying Joe Go, Joe Go. On Sunday a lot of us gathered together and had my cousin Cole talk to us about his mission. He just returned home from Bulgaria. He did a great job and it such a great feeling to have our family in a room together with such a strong spirit there. Cole's spirit was so strong and it was a great way to end a wonderful family reunion. I am grateful to have such a wonderful family that is so supportive of each other. Oh,by the way, yes Randy had to take his shirt off to distract the other Potato Sack racers. Never a dull moment!!!
 

ICE CREAM

Usually we go to my parent's house for dinner on Sunday. Today they were out of town so we had to make the best of it. After my kids did the whole whining thing, "we are not going to grandma's house" we made a great dinner. Never as good as grandma's but it was close. I have tried and tried to make my moms rolls but they never turn out as good as hers. Today I think I got close. They were DELICIOUS if I do say so myself. We then dug our ice cream maker out and made homemade ice cream. We haven't did that in a long time. The kids loved it! Especially Jaxon. I looked over at him and he was drinking out of his bowl. We sure missed grandma and grandpa today but we did make the best of it.

How many men does it take to fix a car!

My dear husband has such a great heart! Sometimes is capabilities don't quite match his heart. He thought this friend of his sisters was being ripped off by the shop that he took his car to be fixed to. He told them that he could fix it. Well if you know me, you know I have a dad and a brother that are great mechanics but are very busy. Randy was determined to do it on his own. After the car was in our garage for a week or so and there were a lot of phone calls for help.He thought he had fixed it but then the car wouldn't start! I snapped this picture of the reinforcements that he had called in! My dad, brother Lonney, and my nephew Zach plus Randy FINALLY fixed the car. Thank goodness for family and there willing to help when we get ourselves into trouble. They had thought that we might have to replace the computer in the car ( a lot of money) but luckily it was the timing belt that just happened to go out. Thank you thank you to those that helped!!!

Back to School! If you read my post before I fixed it, I do know how to spell I just get in a hurry.

I can't believe it is time for school again. We just barely got out in the middle of July! Here is Trent and his wonderful teacher. He is in second grade and his teachers name is Ms. Ruport. She is so sweet, I can't imagine any one not liking her.
When I picked him up from school and asked him how it was he said, " fantastic." He is growing up! It is going to be nice getting back into a routine.



Cameron is going to White Middle School this year. I thought today would be really easy for me because his Mom took him to school. Come to find out it was really hard. All I did was worry about him all day. Is he making new friends? Does he have enough money for lunch? Who is he going to sit by at lunch? Randy was so sick of hearing me ask him a million questions. I guess it is the control freak in me. I have taken him to school on his first day since he was in Kindergarten! It was not normal for me today. I guess I will get used to it. He does have a mom and dad that are very capable of taking care of him. I guess it boils down to no matter how much he makes me CRAZY, I do love him!

My Husband is CRAZY!

Photo and video editing at www.OneTrueMedia.com

A few weeks ago some of the Robbins Family started getting together at Rob & Liz's for family home evening. It has been a lot of fun. The kids get to swim with their cousins, then we have dinner and a lesson. Well, this week we were getting ready to go. I had to give the lesson, so I was finishing up preparing. He came around the corner in our house with my old swimsuit bottoms on. He said,"how much will you give me to wear these to Rob's." I said that I would pay him to not wear them. He then put his swimsuit over it. When we got to Rob's he told everyone," you want to see me do a flip off the rock." He stood up pulled his swimsuit down and the rest is on the video! Needless to say my family saw way too much of my husband last night! Rob said he will never look at Randy the same again. At times he may drive me crazy, but I am afraid to say when I see this crazy side to him I remember why I love him. There is never a dull moment with him around. I think my parents were a little shocked after we first got married and they would see him do crazy things. Now they just have no choice but to laugh.

Some Family Fun!

We have these great friends named Laura & Ken. They so graciously have let us use their boat. Randy used it to take the 12 year old boys from church out on Saturday. He ask our wonderful friends if we could keep it and go as a family today. I am so glad he did. We had a great time together. I would of had more pictures but my battery died. I just do not have good luck with cameras and water. I have broke two cameras by water. One fell in the water as Randy and I were on a canoe. The other broke at our family reunion a couple of months ago. It must have gotten some water in it. Cameron and Trent usually fight from sun up to sun down. Today, at the lake, they got along great. They rode on the tube together. Jumped off cliffs together. Trent had to show Cameron how it was done. Cam as too much of Turner in him. He is scared of everything. The only reason he went as high as he did was because he couldn't let his 7 year old brother show him up.
We are so proud of all our boys and today Brayden didn't let us down. Most of you know that last summer Brayden went swimming and went under the water and was pulled out after 30 seconds or so. He was very traumatized by this. Well he has been terrified of the water since. He has started to warm up to the water in the last few weeks. Today he got in the lake with a life jacket on and swam without holding on to me. ( Good Job Brayden!)
Jaxon just liked to wave to who was on the tube. He now says boat. What a trooper. He fell asleep sitting up on the floor of the boat.

Diaper Cakes

Most of you probably know that I am not very crafty. Well I finally found something that I can do and I like making. This cake was my first order. I have made some before for friends but it was kind of nice getting paid for it.

Cameron's Home

Cameron's back from California and wow he brings such an energy home! I am trying to relax and read Breaking Dawn! All I hear is running around and craziness! That's when I knew Cam is home. He gets the kids all wound up. I decided to take a deep breath instead of yelling at them, "that I was reading and to be quiet!" I tried "enjoy the moment" I found them shooting each other with the Nerf guns. Even Jaxon was in on it, so I had them pose for a picture. Wow that was hard for me 'cause I was really into my book!



Sorry if this post is so long, I haven't posted in a week. I thought there wasn't much to say but I guess there was. Trent had his 7th birthday last week. Well, at his birthday party ,two days before his birthday, we were playing red light, green light. Brayden ran on red and ran into Trent. Trent's tooth was loose before but now he could twist his tooth all the way around. Finally I talked him in to letting me pull it out the night before his real birthday. What a great birthday present!



The night of Trent's Birthday we had some family over for a party. My nephew Zach came over . ( the boys love him ) We heard some commotion from the other room and Quintons saying while he was laughing ," Aunt Mer come look." Zach had done this to Brayden! It was hilarious! I had to have a picture. Brayden will kill me later in life.

Trent's Birthday Party

We had Trenton's birthday party today.We had a lot of fun. The pictures show the scavenger hunt that we sent them on. They had to find 6 different clues until the final clue took them to the sand box. They had to dig to find their treasure.(Goodie Bags) I can't believe he is going to be 7 on Thursday!!

Jaxon's cool trick -- this is dedicated to you Dan & Mel's fam

What a Catch!

The other day Randy, Zach, Trent & Brayden went fishing out at Lake Mead. Trenton was very excited that he learned how to cast. After he cast he told Randy, " I got a fish dad." Randy being Randy said," oh you just got stuck on a rock. " Then Zach walked over and sure enough it was a cat fish! They reeled it in and Trenton was very proud. He caught the only fish all night.

Sorry about the fuzzy picture. I am sure he was moving a lot and Zach took it with his cell phone and sent it to me with the caption, Trent is the Man!

Jaxon is Crazy!

Last night I put Brayden and Jaxon in the bath. I walked into the kitchen to start cleaning up ( I know I am a bad mom) anyway, I turned around and Jaxon was standing there naked. He started running away from me and this is how I found him.

I told him, " you better get back in that tub!"

Yes he is such a climber! I find him on top of things all the time.
