Fun with Lighting

2009-12-30T17:51:00.009-07:00

I had fun, Carly had fun, Sage not so much at the end. It's cool when you figure out how to do something new.

Okay I know I am really bad at blogging, but here I go again.

My girls have picked up two very annoying habits. #1 Feet PJ's, they got from there cousin Ele. #2 taking the clothes out of my closet to make room for the best possible viewing of Sponge Bob Square Pants. I'm bad enough at putting the clothes on the hangers and in the closet in the first place, doing it a second time erks me!

"Mom, I think Kristina thinks your Pregnant"

2008-11-04T13:01:00.000-07:00

Never before has it been stated that my friend Kristina Curtis doesn't listen to me and never hence shall it be stated.

Yesterday I felt like crap. I went to my room and closed the door around 7, totally ignoring all of my Motherly duties. While there I got a visit from Kristina, which Carly informed me that it was OK it was just Kristina and she took care of it. I felt bad as we were suppose to get together and talk Photoshop last night.
However this morning Steve found on the front seat of his car a bowl full of goodies. It contained the things I love and need.

Honey Mustard Pringles - I have an addiction
New vitamins - I told her I thought my prenatal vitamins were making me sick.
Unisom and ear plugs - For sleeping and ignoring the sounds of my house. ie.. kids
Cheetoos - Love um
Two Different types of travel toothpaste - Because she listened when I told her about my reasons for getting sick the last pregnancies.
Saltines - The ultimate pregnant lady snack.
Little baby boy socks - Because according to her research if your sicker your more likely having a boy.

For this last one Carly made the statement, "Mom, I think Kristina thinks your pregnant." And because she said I am not she will take them and save them for when she has a baby in her stomach when she lives on her Farm, she will name him Jac (its okay if theres two Jac's(My big brothers name is Jac)) and let him use the socks. We are not telling the girls about their new sibling until Christmas. So if this is the first time your hearing about it Suprise! I'm pregnant. And don't tell my kids. When I set the bowl out to take a picture of it Carly took the socks and said they don't belong in the picture, so I had to secretly take the picture later when she wasn't paying attention.

Night Out

2008-09-30T09:58:00.000-06:00

Last week Steve had a really hard week at work. I wanted to do something for him to help him destress. My brother Josh and his wife Dalynn watched the girls for an overnighter. They kept them up till 11pm, I feel bad. but Josh is the one who suggested we all spend more time with our spouses and he would watch our kids. He loves me.

So Steve and I headed up to Park City on Friday night, we got started late so didn't get to ride the Alpine Slide as I'd planned. But we did have a really good time, exploring Park City with out the kids.

And explanation of the pics as flows.

1. The accident that we saw on the way up. Messy.
2. The place we stayed in Park City.
3. He can't make a normal face unless I threaten him.
4. The Shoe Tree and Steve pointing out the typo on the plaque.

Long time no internet

It's was a good summer and I'm so happy to see the leaves change and fall. This is my favorite time of year and the photos are the funnest. Thought I'd put a bunch of shots on here of what we've been up two the last couple months. I tend to take a lot of pictures. I have a problem.

First Carly got her hair cut, after trying to get her to do it for months, she justed decided one day out of the blue that it was time and had to get it done NOW. Happy to be of assistance I took her to the Mall. For some reason Sage finds haircuts to be one of the greatest things in the world and takes her chance any time she can get it.

We went to Bear lake for a Scott sibling reunion, the girls loved the lake. Their uncle Matt plated them in the sand to see if they would grow. We also went to Raspberry Days while there and Carly and Sage took a ride. It was really Sages idea to go she was so excited. But I think Carly is the only one who really ended up enjoying herself.

Carly has started taking Tae Kwan Doe and LOVES it. Shes pretty good if I do say so myself. She had to memorize a paragraph and a few commands in order for her to get her white belt and she did great.

We went Camping with some of our friends. Brady and Kristina, our fantastic neighbors, whom we love and adore. My friend Melissa and her son Maxwell who are also loved and adored. Shauna and James and their two kids Abby and William again with the loving and adoring. A day in Abby feel and cut herself pretty bad, so they had to head home early and get her stitches. Ahhh ouch that sucked. But we stuck around carried on tried to make the dutch oven dinner they had planned, which took way to flaming long, we ended up eating dessert first. The kids did great, we canoed on the lake and Steve caught a fish! It was very exciting. I am still 0-7 for my fish catching tries. Which annoys me to no end.

Carly also started preschool and since it's her second year she's totally comfortable, come to think of it she was the first time around to. She is comfortable pretty much anywhere. Every time she heads off to school Sage gets all mopey and wants to know when she gets to go to school. So we have started Library school for her. We go for 20 minutes to story time and she gets her fix. On Tuesdays my Sister Jarah goes as well, so I get a Jarah fix once a week.

Thumb in a Lid

2008-05-09T20:34:00.000-06:00

I was on the phone today in the car when Sage started to complain. Annoyed of course, I politely asked her to shut it and continued my conversation. When I was finished I look back at Sage to see what she needed and she looked perfectly content. So I let it go. A little while later in our drive. I noticed she was holding a cup of water that she tends to usually spill. I asked her if she was done and offered to take it from her. "No, stuck" she said. "What?" I replied. "Stuck." She shrugged her shoulders and looked away. She had her thumb stuck in the lid and was resigned to it. She wouldn't show it to me and didn't want my help. So I took a picture and then tore at the opening around her thumb and set her free. "Thank you" she said. Her thumb was purple.

The First Part of May for the Myricks

2008-05-09T00:08:00.000-06:00

We went to Los Hermonos with Steven's Family on Saturday after a long day of moving. Oh yes thats right we moved. Sage was not interested in sharing chips with anyone. Especially not her dad. Who she is giving the very irritated face to.

We took the girls to the carnival over a Provo Towne Center. We used to go every year with the Kings and we will again this year before they move to California.

Sages new favorite color is blue.

2008-02-08T19:14:00.000-07:00

Sage decided today was the day to smell the scent of burning flesh. She put her hand on the burner of the stove while we were making lunch. She's fine and a little happy with the pain meds. She keeps saying BLUE!
