2008-08-19T09:57:00.000-07:00

OH yeah and school starts next Monday and we haven't even started to school shop! CRAP I am kind of a procrastinator! OOPS

Softball, Camping, Dancing, School, Work and now.....Soccer??

2008-08-19T09:40:00.000-07:00

Holy cow I can honestly say this is the busiest summer yet and I know it is only going to get crazier when the kids get older! GEEESH Maycen recently tried out for a 10 and under softball team (she just turned 8) and made it!! We are so excited to get that ball rolling.
Well Jordyn couldn't be left behind so she has wanted to take singing and dancing lessons for quite some time now that I figured this would be a good time to start so she wasn't feeling left out with May playing ball and the whole bit. So we signed her up for future Rockettes and a new dance studio that happens to be just down the street.
And between all the sign ups we went camping up to Bear Lake for 3 nights, the first night we stayed on the south end with my Brother and his fam. The next two nights we stayed on the north end with some friends of mine (poor Mike he was a trooper cuz' he was the only guy, besides Quinlan) who had wave runners. We had such a good time even though it was a bit cold.
Well I had asked for 2 weekends off in a row from work and I got scheduled both of them from one of my managers who apparently dislikes me cuz' I didn't work one Sat. (that I WASN'T even scheduled) CALL ME CRAZY!! But she is still a bit bitter about that so she is denying me my requested days off! CRAP So Friday the 22nd is Jordyn's bday and we are doing lunch then some girl shopping then when Daddy gets off work he is going to pick up May and Q and meet us in Ogden to do her Birthday fun at Toads.
Well we just got a thing in the mail saying that indoor soccer sign-ups are on Sat. So why not add another thing to our already crazy life! So all I can think of is ENJOY the ride!! Right??? (:

Congrats to ME

2008-08-05T09:50:00.000-07:00

I have succesfully thrown away 20 pounds. Don't worry they're not lost....(cuz I don't wanna find them again EVER!) It has been a very challenging experience but very well worth every BiTe (or non-bite) for that matter! So not to sound concieted (sp?) but ConGrAtS!

TO STINA....THANKS AGAIN!!

2008-08-03T09:07:00.000-07:00

Do you like my new background and picture arrangements?? Thanks to Stina...my blog gets updated! And I must say I LOVE IT!! Thanks for taking the time outta your busy life to make my day!! I love polka dots! :) THANK YOU SO MUCH

First time for.....

2008-08-01T15:58:00.000-07:00

POP ROCKS!! So Quinlan had his first taste of the pop in your mouth candies and the verdict is....NOT A BIG FAN! I wish I had taken video cuz as soon as they were in..he wanted them out! He was trying to scrape his tongue with his fingers to get them out of his mouth. It was kinda mean of me but I was laughing so hard that I wasn't much help getting them out. I actually wanted to put more in (I didn't) but I had a mean moment and wanted to! He thought it was funny when Mom and Dad had them in our mouth but not so much in his!

2008-07-30T16:08:00.000-07:00

Family pics....were so much fun!! Thanks Malinda :) Here is a preview

SO much fun....

2008-07-21T13:28:00.000-07:00

On Sat. the girls and I packed up and headed out! That's right NO BOYS!! I pulled our honkin huge trailer for the first time by myself up Logan Canyon to Bear Lake! No worries though we made it safe and sound!! That's more than I can say for the guy on the motorcycle 3 cars in front of me! Yikes!! Pure craziness.....cuz I needed that sight for my already taut nerves! Geez well I was in the right passing lane (so all the crazies could pass me) and a gold car and the motorcycle and then a black truck managed to pass so along a curve I go and I see the gold car on the side of the road then I notice the motorcycle on the ground and the back tire is still spinning and about 10-15 feet away is the guy just barely starting to sit up. HOLY CRAP is all I could repeat for the next few miles! Anyway the guy in the black truck had just gotten out and was running towards the crash sight!! HA SO needless to say every muscle in my body was in about 3 knots each!
Well we get there and meet up with my friends Buffie, Dawn and Jamie and their kids and the FUN begins! We had an absolute blast riding the wave runners, playing smashball, riding the half-pipe tube and just hangin out and enjoying the sun!
Let me just say that it has been about 5 years since I had ridden a wave runner, well Dawns were top of the line go fast awesome ones. So of course I take it slow, for a while then I let loose! I was pretty comfy and had Maycen on the back with me and we had hit some pretty harsh waves! Well I had my contacts in and water splashed my face and I had to close my eyes for half a second and next thing you know is I see the handlebars fading away from me!! I come up out of the water and Maycen is looking at me like WTF happened? I started laughing so hard that I swallowed about a gallon of water! What a sight!?!
Then later that day the kids had finally talked me and Buffie into riding on the tube that is for 3 people so we rode with Dominique another one of the kids for a few minutes and Buffie had had her feel, so Maycen wanted to jump on with me and so here goes....well Maycen was hanging on tight and Dawn who was pulling me silently mouthed to me to HANG ON cuz she wanted to dump Dominique I say OK and she takes off...next thing you know I am in the water laughing hysterically cuz I totally knew she was taking off! Holy cow we had such a blast...but every muscle in my upper body is SORE from hanging on to the tube! GEEESH what a FUN workout! All in all we had an absolute blast!

OH MY!!!!

2008-07-11T12:04:00.000-07:00

I officially have 2 (yep you read it correctly...2) 8 year olds!! And no they aren't twins! It is that time of the year that my girls are the same age for 1 and a half months!! JJ was born 8-22-99 and Maycen was born 7-10-00!!

HOLY SMOKA-RONIES!!!

2008-07-11T09:47:00.000-07:00

Don't even worry! We have bravely survived these past 2-3 weeks. But not without a whole lotta craziness!! Geez where do I start? Well during the week of Jordyn being at camp we were crazy busy with getting ready to be gone for a week of campin and getting our stupid sprinkler system (that Mike claims he did ALL by himself...WHATEV) He says that I just supervised....ugh...I handed him all the parts and did some diggin! I went to the store and got all the random parts that he needed and I am a good supervisor! HA HA Anywho it was a very good thing that we stayed busy for that whole week or I think I woulda gone nuts without my oldest child being home!
Anyways Friday we go pick up sister SUE (Jordyn) and the first thing she says to us is "Did you bring some butt pain relief?" WHAT??? Apparently when she went on her horse ride, it was for 3 hours and she got a bit sore!! It was freakin hilarious! Welcome home Jord!!
SO we go home and let her shower then we are off to a week of camping (in the new fabulous trailer) YIPPEE!! SO she was home for about an hour before she left for another week!
We went up into Idaho with my friends Dell and Tina that I have played ball with for about 12 years! Mike has never met them but he was a trooper on goin to a random place with all these random people! Cuz' if you know Mike you know how much he DISLIKES PEOPLE! Well we go to Glendale reservoir in Idaho. Pull in and there were probably 15 trailers there! Not knowing what Dells trailer looks like I randomly walk through peoples parties and see if I can find them. Come to find out ALL the trailers were with Dell. AAAH CRAP is my first thought cuz all these people are here and Mike doesn't know anyone! (SIGH) Well we start gettin the trailer setup and here come 4-5 guys that offer to help so that eased a bit of tension for Mike. Come to find out they were such a fun and welcoming group that we didn't feel like intruders in the least! Best part was..is that we camped like 15 feet from the reservoir so needless to say my kids became fish for a week! Seriously they spent 10 hours if not more in the water! It was great!! Needless to say we went through tons of sunscreen! Well this post is getting rather long so I will take a break and post pics when my dumb computer will work with me and my camera!!

SHOUT OR CRY???

2008-06-22T20:49:00.001-07:00

So this entire week we are sending Jordyn off to camp!! Pioneer Bible Camp to be exact! Mike went to it when he was young, and absolutely loved it! I on the other hand have never even heard of it. Well we decided that it was an awesome chance for her to discover a bit about herself and to become a better person! But seriously I'm not sure how i'm gonna handle this!

There are a few possibilities.......we are going to thoroughly enjoy her being gone (for a day or two) or Maycen is going to be so bored without her play partner that she is going to drive me up the wall or I'm gonna cry and continue to cry until I pick her up! I actually am expecting all three and there will probably be a few more emotions that'll come up while she is gone.

So until then I just want to let Jordyn know that she is a very special young lady! You have a mind of your own and let us know how you feel about every issue that you come across! Your not afraid to speak your mind....and I admire that about you (most of the time) ha ha You are very loving towards your little brother and sister. One of my favorite things to do is sit and listen to you read and play with Quinlan. You are very special and I am so glad that you are my daughter! I LOVE YOU!!

New Trailer!!

2008-06-20T12:40:00.000-07:00

Here it is ALL 28' of it!!
This is what you see when you walk in (including the kiddo-S) haha
The right side keeps goin and that is where (my) bedroom is!!
This is the kitchen and yes it looks like we live in it cuz we transeferred everything from our old trailer to the new one! YIKES!!
And here is the bunks! They are awesome!!

Old trailer is now GONE!!

2008-06-19T20:53:00.000-07:00

YEAH!! I put the trailer on KSL Monday night and got 300 hits within the first few hours! SWEET! Got a phone call that night with a lady saying she wanted to come look at it on Tues. morning! SWEETER!! Well she didn't show up (bee-otch) anyway got a few more calls and most of them were men needing ot talk their wife into it! (Which got me wonderin if Mike ever called on any of the trailers that he liked but new I didn't want to deal with the payment) Anyway a very soft-spoken man called and asked if we were willing to negotiate with the price and we were so he wanted to talk his wife and get back to me! Well I didn't hear anything for a few hours so didn't think much of it until he called back and said they wanted it but they were in twin falls and weren't coming my way until Thurs. night well I had a good feeling for the guy and told him we would hold it for him! And I am so glad we did....they were such a cute couple with four kids under the age of 7 (YIKES!) who had just traveled for 2 hours and behaved so well! SO it sold within 4 days! KSL is an amazing site for the classifieds! Sheesh

Old Trailer

2008-06-19T20:28:00.000-07:00

This is the 'old' trailer! It was a great starter trailer that we had bought from my brother!

So last year we bought our first travel trailer and have LOVED it! Well Mike has been looking for a new trailer for quite sometime so on Sat. I decided to let him look at a place that was right off the freeway (we could always say NO right!?!) Well we saw a few but one stuck in our minds and I was actually really interested in it but we walked away with the salesman saying he'd hold it for us until Monday! Well they call us on Sat. night saying that the owner had advertised the price for their cost and he'd give us the new price if we were interested. So I was lookin on KSL and decided that the first price was actually very reasonable so when they told us the new price ($1300) lower we decided to jump on it so we are proud new owners of a 2007 28' Mallard trailer. Holy cow it is so much trailer....and we can't wait until we can make time to go camping which will be SOON!!

OH MY...WHAT A BUSY DAY!!

2008-06-08T18:21:00.000-07:00

When I crawled outta bed this morning, Mike had said "let's" (apparently meaning just ME)make breakfast and then go hiking up to the waterfall just above our house!! Well I start making breakfast (thinking Mike is right behind me to help out, since it was his idea) I soon find out he went back to sleep!! GGGRR!
Any-who we ended up hiking for almost 3 hours and saw alot of pretty views and flowers and bugs, oh and rocks!! Great fun! And after about 3 pictures our stupid camera died! AH MAN!
Well we get back down and clean-up to go over to Jackson's birthday party and Maycen gets stung by a bee or wasp (we're not sure) and she is ALLERGIC!! So knowing this she instantly panics and makes it sounds like somebody had died. GEESH! Well we quickly ran home to get some benadryl in her to minimize the swelling and itching! And I am now dreading the rest of the week knowing (cuz' I am also allergic) she is gonna be itchy ALL week! CRAP!
And I'm happy to report that it is now 7:30 and she and her dad are asleep on the couch! SO CUTE!! 2 down 2 to go then quiet MOMMY TIME!! YEAH!

THIS SUCKS......

2008-06-07T15:27:00.000-07:00

So now that i've found time to sit down and blog, I decided that I'm gonna vent also!! So Thursday afternoon I was loading the dishwasher and noticed the sink was kinda stinky! (YUCK) Well didn't think much about it....until I ran the dishwasher and the sink was full of disgusting water! (YUCK AGAIN) Well I simply thought it was clogged and Drain-o would be a fix.
So when Mike came home from work I told him the situation and he said he'd look into it in the morning since we didn't wanna wake up the kiddos during this noisy frustrating process!
Well I get up Friday morning and throw some drain-o down the sink and head off to work! Well when I walked into the house (home from work 3 hrs later) I almost turned around and went back to work! Mike was at his wits-end snaking and plunging the stupid sink! He looks straight at me and says "Call a plumber, cuz I build steel joists for a living, I don't fix #$%^ing sinks!! OK THEN!
Well my girls and I were headed out to get our hair done by Malinda, and low and behold her dad is a plumber. So she worked her magic and got ahold of her dad and come to find out that Mike had snaked the drain like 15 feet and he said that 4 feet is about all he could do as well! WHAT?!? So here I sit waiting for the dishwasher to finish so I can go dump the bucket of water that Mike has finnagled under the pipes to drain into!! AAAHHH! Cross your fingers and pray that it isn't our main sewer system!!

I'M BACK

2008-06-02T13:30:00.001-07:00

AGAIN....we had issues with our privacy settings....so we had to take in the darn computer!!

Can he get any cuter?!?

2008-05-21T13:05:00.001-07:00

Malinda took these pics of Quinlan at the girls soccer game! Isn't it precious? OK I may be a little biased but seriously.....just look at him! Can you say Daddy's Boy?
Love the ears!!

2008-05-21T12:45:00.000-07:00

Jordyn Maree AYSO Soccer 2008
Maycen Pearl AYSO Soccer 2008
(From left to right: Front: Teagun Woolums, Hallie Smith, Maycen O'Neal, Allison Reynolds, Back: Steve Gibbons, Alexa Valberg, Jordyn O'Neal, Jordynn Gibbons, Charity Price, Mike O'Neal)
So when I signed the girls up for soccer....the lady signing us up said that they are in need of coaches so if we could vlounteer it would be greatly appreciated. So my friend Malinda and I had previuously talked about how our husbands should coach since they yell at the kids from the sideline anyway! (Logical right?) Well we totally worked it out and signed up our hubbys...pretty much without letting them in on the decision (almost regretting it because we thought we'd end up doing all the work) WRONG!! They did most everything except for the phone calls! Which was a good trade off for Malinda and I!

It was a really fun team to watch....of course we had the mix of butterfly watchers and dandylion pickers...but for the most of 'em they did AWESOME!!

SERIOUSLY....

2008-05-20T13:32:00.000-07:00

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF BOX ELDER BUGS!! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! YUCK!

YEAH FOR ME!!

2008-05-12T08:07:00.000-07:00

Happy Mothers Day to Me!! So to begin with.....Mike totally let me sleep in (til 10). That was heaven (except the feeling of laziness) but that's OK once a year right?! Well when I finally rolled outta bed, Mike told me to go shower and get ready for the day! So I did, still not knowing what he had in mind. Kinda frightening...!

Well I get ready and we pile the kids in the car (minus Jordyn cuz' she again stayed at my parents house) and we're off!! He proceeds to take me to Costa Vida! I LOVE THAT PLACE!! Well it was closed :( But thats OK cuz we still went to El Matador so I could have my chips and salsa (favoritest food EVER!!)

Well when we get done eating Mike takes me to the MALL!! For anyone that knows Mike he is not a mall man (AT ALL)! He says go find you a purse! WHaT! That's right Mike braved the mall for me to find a purse since I have wanted one for quite some time now!! So not only did I find 1 purse, I found 3!! Thanks hun, I LOVE YOU!!

Here is (one of) my new purses!!

What???

2008-05-08T13:29:00.000-07:00

WELL I AM A FAN OF THE BOOKS BY STEPHENIE MEYER...TWILIGHT! (AS MANY OF YOU ARE) SO I JUST WATCHED THE TRAILER FOR THE NEW MOVIE..... WELL I'VE HAD IN MY HEAD WHAT EDWARD LOOKS LIKE AND THE TRAILER TOTALLY JUST BLEW IT FOR ME! EDWARD IN THE MOVIE WAS NOT AT ALL WHAT I WAS THINKING OR HOPING! SERIOUSLY HE IS NOT EVEN CUTE! BLUCK!

If only.....

2008-05-07T15:44:00.001-07:00

As I was at the ATM today, I had a funny thought to when Jordyn was a bit younger. I was at the ATM in a grocery store and my girls were standing right next to me, and as Jordyn sees the money being dispensed she says "do that again Mom, that gave you lots of money!!" How sweet! I wish it worked like that!!

Q's Mohawk

2008-05-05T18:20:00.001-07:00

Quinlan has been sporting a mohawk for probably a year now. Well Mike and I decided about a month ago to shave it off and grow it out! At first we wished we hadn't....
but looking back at these pics....IT WAS TIME!! It really was cute and totally fit him but he doesn't like the electric shaver anymore and he is a turd about sittin' still so??
Here he is sportin his new do!! Yes he looks bald but only because his hair is so blonde! But really it is like half and inch long!! :)

Grandpa's Little Bud

2008-05-05T17:56:00.000-07:00

Tractor Grandpa

Recently after Saturdays soccer games, Jordyn has been goin to my parents' house all day Sat. and sleeping over and then not wanting us to pick her up until like 8:00 on Sunday night!! My parents absolutley love having her over and say she is calm and quiet and WHAT???? (I'm sure they need to turn up their hearing aids!) My dad told me last night when he dropped her off that he has found a new BEST BUD!! I LOVE IT!!

Seriously I think she loves goin over there for the peace and quiet that she gets. Not to mention that she doesn't have to compete for attention without her brother and sister around!!

Well Jordyn is not the nurturing lovey-dovey type (very much like her father) so today when I hear her reading books to her brother without being told.....I pretty much fainted!! HOLY COW! She is reading his favorite animal book and every other book that he brings to her! I am pretty shocked and almost wondering if she has alterior motives....that's how unusual it is! But seriously I think i'm gonna talk to Grandpa and see what he fed her!! GEESH! Or just send her to Grandpa's house EVERY weekend!! HA HA

Last Thursday my dear friend Malinda (who works at a salon) got me a pedicure and a massage for my b-day. I must say they were WoNdeRFuL!!! Thanks Ween-a! Anywho I got my pedicure first and she painted my toes with the french tip and the whole bit! Well I waited for a few minutes then went in to get my massage! I started face down and not even thinkin bout my cute toe work I just got done...so um it's time for me to roll over and my ToES are STUCK to the sheet! AAH CraP Sorrrrry Jenny! All your work and efffort for making that white line straight was wasted! ):

OH NO!!!!!

2008-04-21T12:06:00.001-07:00

Just this morning I was on the phone for 10 minutes or so and Mike was on the computer. Well when I get off the phone to check on Quinlan I couldn't find him and he wouldn't answer to where he was! Yikes!! Well we run into his room only to find him laying on his bed with his feet up in the air and no under-roos on! Apparently he had an "accident" in his under-roos and was trying to clean up before we found him! Let me remind you he is 2! AAAH CRAP! SO I start cleaning and changing him and Mike starts lookin for his under-oos and pants that he had on.....they were right by his "potty" just FULL!!! (at least he tried right?) Mike instanly pretends to start puking so he thinks that I'll give him pity and clean them....WRonG!! HA HA so needless to say I ended up washing his blankets and sheets and Mike ended up with the dirty job! Thanks hun I love ya!!

I've switched!!

2008-04-16T12:02:00.001-07:00

No don't worry, I didn't leave Mike for a woman, although at times.....ha ha jk! I've switched from AT&T to Verizon! So my phone is outta commision for a day or two to be ported! Happy Days oh and I got a new enV. Way cool! Yeah!!

HoGLe ZoO

2008-04-15T11:36:00.000-07:00

Last Year when we made out yearly trip to the zoo we spent a few more dollars and got a year pass! It was logical for us since Mike could go to the zoo every other weekend! I know..I know..he's a crazy nut (but I still love him) :)

Here is the famous ball that ALL kids think they need to touch! Quinlan thought he needed to lick it! BLUCK!
Here is the white alligator, that I swear is FaKE
Mom and kids
Dad and kids
Well we had just eaten our picnic lunch and were walking away from the benches and I hear a kid yelling AuNt ShAnDeE!! Low and behold my brother and his fam had come to the zoo that same day! It was so exciting to have us all there! Not to mention that he has 4 very entertaining kids that were an extra set of eyes to help us watch Quinlan at the playground!

OUR PROJECT!!

2008-04-14T07:45:00.001-07:00

Ever since we moved in.....we have wanted a front porch. Well 6 years later, we got one!

Our front yard is lots bigger than our back yard. It just made sense for us to put a cute useful patio in front instead of hangin out in our garage!
Mike is just workin his little heart out! (Don't think that I was lucky and just got to stand by and watch...nope I was sweatin too!)
Bluck it looks trashy in the beginning but don't worry we fixed it!

OUR PROJECT!!

More Random-ness

2008-04-14T07:38:00.001-07:00

So I love just random pics and my daughters take pics of themselves and other stuff OFTEN so I thought I should post their artwork!

Jordyn Maree (she totally has the ugh whateva face)
Maycen Pearl is a goof like her dad
This is Quinlans uh-oh face! (:
Uncle Denny is a goof too!

Pure Random-ness

2008-04-11T21:20:00.000-07:00

WHen Maycen falls asleep she is down for the count! If you wake her up to go up to her room she 'll walk towards the garage or in the total opposite direction! This would be rather frightening if she wasn't on the top bunk!
Mike is havin some fun with her!
Cool glasses...huh??
If only he really were Harry Potter....we'd be RiCH!!!
What Up?

Potty Training

2008-04-11T21:16:00.000-07:00

So this is how well potty training is going.....
Well actually it's NOT. Poor kid would rather be naked and shaking his bOw-cHicKAa-Wow-woW all over than even think about under-roos! SO whatya do........pretty much just laugh cuz he is so CuTe!

2008-04-08T12:17:00.000-07:00

YEAHH! My computer is fixed!! We had over 2000 spyware "bugs". They had to be sure to get rid of all of them cuz' computer guy said if they missed just one, it'd probably be the one that creates hundreds of other in minutes!
So as soon as I find my camera I hope to have some new posts!

Tis' the season for......

SAND SAND SAND SAND SAND...UGH SERIOUSLY, Quinlan comes in from playing outside and of course he can't not throw sand when it is so readily available! : p Therefore he has sand in every crack and crevis (sp?) And even his bed happens to have sand in it! Yikes!! Jordyn and Maycen come in from playing and the have sand in their hair from playing near Q. So much for trying to save water when they ALL need a bath EVERY night. ~Sheeez~ You should the see the tub when either of them get out. Yuck. Thank goodness for my own bathroom! HA HA

Damn the bad luck

2008-03-14T18:02:00.000-07:00

So I walk out to my car to get it started before I go to work, and notice that the door is not shut completely! HHMM WEIRD... well I get in start it up and notice that the ashtray (that was full of coins) is now completely empty and sitting on the passenger seat! WHAT THE??? Well I run into the house and ask Mike if he raided the coins from the car and he says no! WHO THE??? Well he said he'd get dressed and go check it out!
We came to a conclusion that our car was broken into! Aaah CRAP!! So I call the police and they sent out an officer to file a report and he does so and so far, all we're thinkin they took is the change out of the ashtray so......he files it and leaves. I proceed to go to work and get to thinkin that Maycen's gameboy was in the backseat, so I look and to no surprise it is gone! WHEN THE?? That rather bummed me out cuz' I knew that she was gonna be upset about that, so that is really the only reason I was upset about this whole thing! ): Because had I locked the driver door o:(all the others were locked) it might have deterred the criminal.
So if you happen to see a light blue gameboy that has MAYCEN PEARL O'NEAL on the top of it, please return it DAMN THE BAD LUCK!!! Sorry MAY

Selfish hhmm???

2008-03-13T19:54:00.000-07:00

OK so for 3 of the last 5 days Quinlan has NOT taken a nap! This time changing business kinda sucks. I'm not ready for him to give up nap time yet ): that is the only time of the entire day when I would have quiet time! I'm being a bit selfish, I know, I am aware of that! But really it kinda means that my baby boy is growing up and for that I AM NOT ready! YIKES!! I am really gonna miss those 3 hours of peacefulness! WAAH (Don't worry I'm not ignoring my girls they are at school for the majority of the time!) (:

Are you smarter than a.......

2008-03-11T20:51:00.001-07:00

OK so I was helping Jordyn with her homework today, and I was kinda having a (few) brain fart moments and Jordyn says (completely serious) "Mom, aren't you smarter than a 3rd grader?" Holy cow we both busted up laughing, and I honestly haven't laughed that hard for a very long time! Geez I sure didn't feel smarter than a 3rd grader!

Q's OBSESSION

2008-03-04T11:44:00.000-08:00

OK so here is Quinlan's "bwanky" He is so crazy with/about it. When we wash it he'll stand at the washer and dryer for the 1 1/2 or 2 hours, that it takes for the cycle to be complete! I'd wash it when he takes a nap, butta.....the poor kid wont let it go!

He only sucks his thumb when he has a hold of this thing! The pics do not do this thing any justice, but I have had to make a trip to Tractor Grandma's a couple of times in order to sew the corners and make it washable! One of these times, I'm gonna pull it outta the washer and it's gonna be in pieces!! OMG I think this entire household holds their breath and wonders if he'll ever be able to live without it butta for now we are surviving because it lasted another wash!!

Here is 1 of the 2 corners that he holds in his right hand and stuffs the corner up his nose, and his thumb in his mouth! LOL (One of the many reasons I need to wash it every other day!) Another funny thing is after I sew and resew the corners he yells at me because I have fick-ed (fixed) the corners because he apparently shoves his fingers inbetween the stuffing and the fabric! Yikes!! We have finally "trained" him that it is not allowed outside or even in the store! It is quite an obsession but an entertaining one to say the least!

He really is a softy!!
He just thinks he's "tough"
This is what he'll look like when he doesn't have to shave the top anymore!!

The minute I met Mike I knew there was something about him. We have been married for 10 and 1/2 years. We've shared our ups and downs. And I can honestly say that I couldn't imagine my life without him! He his such a strong soul! He is my everything. He is a fun and caring Dad! Once you get past the outer shell he really is a softy!! I love you...love!!

2008-02-25T17:15:00.000-08:00

OK so this weekend was kinda rough. Mike and I had decided to pretend that we are broke so we wouldn't go out to eat....well it worked! But honestly I really think it was only because Quinlan was sick!! He didn't eat and rarely drank for 2 and 1/2 days. I was worried sick about him cuz his diapers weren't very wet. Well he never got the dried up lips and cheeks like my girls did when they were dehydrated and he seemed to be sleeping well so when he woke up this morning he jumped and ran outta his room, like he hadn't thrown up or even had a fever the night before! So I kept my fingers crossed that he would have a good day today. And so far so good!! (: Still not a whole lot of eating but he has had 3 or 4 cups of juice and water so YIPPEE!!

TAGGED.
The rules of the game:The player answers the questions about themselves then they tag 5 others and leave them a comment on their blog letting them know they have been tagged.
TEN YEARS AGO...I was eightteen. A Senior in High School. And had been with Mike for 5 months and we both new at that time that we were gonna get married! Just didn't voice it until APRIL!!
FIVE THINGS ON MY TO DO LIST...
1. Get the kids homework finished
2. Do the girls' Valentines for classmates.
3. Get Maycen in the shower (Q and Jordyn are done)
4. Get the kiddos in bed.
5. Read.
FIVE PLACES I HAVE LIVED...
1. Bear River City

THREE BAD HABITS...
1. Procrastination. But I think I work well under pressure, so it works out. (DIDDO THAT, LISH)

IF I WAS SUDDENLY A BILLIONARE...I would pay off ALL of my parents medical bills and everything else for my parents so my Dad could retire. I then would build a dream house and have someone else do all the work! LOL Then get a few more four-wheelers and get Mike his Harley ( so I wouldn't have to hear his wish list on a daily basis.) And I agree with Lish on buying boobs to get them back to where they used to be!! HA HA Oh and of course I'd have to get me a Harley so I could ride along Mike not just with him. And a new car for me. Then probably invest everything else. I'm sure I missed a few things and if Mike reads this he'll let me know!!
I ENJOY....
Being with my kids and Mike, shopping, reading, hanging out with the "girls", napping, a clean house...I really could go on and on!!

Here is Q's musical potty! It actually has a sensor and plays music when activated! (: He is rather entertaining to sit with and wait for some music. He'll fart and stand up and say DONE!! But then looks in the potty and he'll then look at me with the cutest confused face...and say "Where go, Mom" then I'll tell him he just farted and he'll sit down and try again!! (: I had honestly forgotten how much work it is to potty train!
He is such a nut! This is his cheese face! We have sat and sang songs while on the potty for the last two days and nothing......no singing from the musical potty. ): Just Quinlan grunting and grunting! He is sure trying and seems interested, so as long as he is...MOM IS!!
Just a fun random pic. with his sisters socks on!!
P.S. If any of you have any ideas to help with the "boy" potty training process...I'M ALL EARS!!

It's Official!!

What's" Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

OK so for those of you that know me...Is it true?? I totally think so!! Crazy!!

SPOILED???

2008-02-04T08:19:00.001-08:00

For quite some time now Jordyn has wanted highlights in her hair. Well take in mind she is 8. So she had a reading test for school and I told her that if she reads 125 words in a minute she could get highlights. She read 117 words. ): She still did an excellent job considering 3rd graders are expected to read 110. So she did way good but I couldn't let her get highlights cuz' she didn't get what we agreed on right?... Well we then made another deal: If she makes 2 baskets for her team. ( I agreed to this thinking it would interest her or make her a bit aggressive) Well here is where Maycen pipes in and says she wants something for making 2 baskets also. So I proceed to ask her what she wants and she says money or maybe highlights. (she agreed to highlights..since her best friends Mom does our hair) So fast forward to Saturday, game day, Maycen not only makes 2 baskets but she makes 9!! (18 points of the 30 her team scored) (: She plays so aggressive. She is quite the go-getter. While Jordyn is a bit more timid. But Jordyn did have 2 shot attempts. Jordyn was so bummed that Maycen can get highlights now and she can't yet!! I'm sure her wheels are turning to think of another deal we can make in order to get her hair done!

Good Times

2008-01-31T13:43:00.000-08:00

So we decided to take the kids sledding and my soon to be sister-in-law Maggie grew up in Honeyville and said there was a really fun place to go when she was little. So we headed up there and low ans behold....GREAT PLACE for 4-wheeling and lotsa room for the kids to climb up and down the hills!! Good job Magaroni!
{Pic. on the left from left to right-Jordyn, Maggie, Brittany (my neice), Derek (my nephew on the sled) and Q. Below: Jordyn, Q, and Britt!
Quinlan's jacket has headlights! HAHA Pic on the right is our good friend Reid with Maycen!

Here's the boys! (left)) Denny (mike's bro., Reid and Mike. So much FUN!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!

2008-01-29T17:52:00.000-08:00

HAPPY 40TH ANNIVERSARY TRACTOR GRANDMA AND GRANDPA

This is my family minus my brother Darin and his wife Justine and their two kids, Chance and Destyn!!

Basketball Time

2008-01-29T16:24:00.000-08:00

Jordyn is not so into the whole basketball thing butta....whatya do? She is so fun to watch. Each girl has a wristband on and they are supposed to guard the girl on the other team with the same color of wristband....well Jordyn doesn't really care for that whole concept she just wants to be where ever the ball is so at times she just runs in circles! So funny! Her 2nd week of playing, the girl on the opposite team didn't seem to care where the ball was so she was in Jordyn's face the WHOLE time! Well being the little O'Neal that she is......stuck her tongue out at the poor girl! Well I was trying to get her attention but she ran to the other end of the court and the girl did not let up.....therefore Jordyn kicked her!! AAAH! The minute she came outta that game, Mike gave her a butt chewing! YIKES

Maycen on the other hand absolutely loves playing! Granted her best friend Jordynn Gibbons is on the team! She can't wait til the following week for her game! I LOVE IT!! Well she and her friend Jordynn are actually called the two man team cuz' Maycen being the shortest on the team

(I wonder why) (: is super serious about being the point guard. Her friend Jordynn is the tallest, so Maycen will bring the ball down and Jordynn will stand underneath the basket, arms up and ready and Maycen passes the ball and shoots! I kinda feel bad but we have been telling Maycen that she needs to pass to other people, but at the same time if Jordynn is open then......WATCH OUT! ha ha

2008-01-17T12:51:00.000-08:00

Ok so I got my computer fixed but now.....du du dun....my camera is being super retarded and not downloading any pics. ***AARGH*
So I'm just gonna say that raising a boy is so much different than either of my girls! It amazes me at how completely different all 3 of my kids are! Jordyn would rather play rough and tough with the boys and Maycen wants to put makeup on and dress up, oh and talk on the phone for all hours of the day....SHE IS 7!!!! HOLY COW!!! We are in for a world of hurt or actually maybe I should say the "boys" around her are. (LOL) Thanks to her dad!
Well then there is Quinlan oh my gosh so much fun! He has an obsession with turning lights on or off! Which can be a good thing but annoying at the same time! Then he got a little trike for Christmas and his little feet can't reach the pedals so he pretty much runs like the flinstones but I honestly think he goes so much faster! It is the cutest thing! Oh and if his sisters or actually anyone else has an Owee he must kiss it better! That is how tractor Grandpa gets a kiss from Quinlan! ha ha He is also doing a knock knock joke that goes like so.....Q says "knock knock" mom says "who's there?" and every single time Q says Bian (for my brother, uncle Brian) so funny!! This boy is the biggest hoot and the best natured kid I could have ever asked for! AAAh too much fun!

I'M BACK

2008-01-11T12:44:00.000-08:00

OK so my blasted computer wouldn't turn on the other day and I thought Quinlan had just turned something off or unplugged something...but NO. (it couldn't be that simple) Mike couldn't even get it to turn on so I took it to superior computers (it is still under warranty....thank goodness) and it was our mother board! Ok so really that means absolutley nothing to me but once I told Mike he said that holds all the memory and pics and music....etc. Well I was so bummed cuz I didn't backup my recent pics, but i then later realized after a bit of stress, that I had put all of my pics on my IPOD so YEAH!!! Well come to find out the computer place people had actually backed up all of our info! So to them I thank and am grateful for technology nerds LOL that know what they're doing!!
So I am back and after all my catching up to do...i'll be doin a few new posts!!

2008-01-02T16:31:00.000-08:00

Here is my tattoo! I can't wait 'til summer to wear flip flops and show it off! (:

2007-12-28T11:47:00.000-08:00

OK so here is a few updates....OUR night out went rather well, considring I got a new tattoo on top of my foot(i'll post pics in a bit) and was wearing my cute black boots and didn't bother to think that I might not be able to walk in them....without PAIN! Holy COW getting my tattoo hurt like crazy but just like childbirth you don't remember the pain once you see the outcome! LOL
We ended up missing our reservation for the Melting Pot ): because Mikes tattoos took 3 hrs. But it is OK (I still love him)! After the tattoos we ended up goin to the gateway and walking the entire two blocks (with my cute black boots and an open sore on top of my foot) for a place to eat! We ended up goin to Mcgraths Fish House, not to shabby considering I don't do seafood!
We then went to check into our hotel! We knew we had to get up early due to some shopping business that we needed to take care of! So we drove around a bit and then decided to call it a night! We got up at 4:30 to stand in line at the West Valley Shopko in the freezin cold for 2 hrs, for an effin WII that we didn't end up getting at that store cuz' we were the 11th cust. in line and whe nI left work on Sat. morning their on hands said they had 25. They weren't supposed to sell any until Sun. Well an employee came out and said the yonly had 10! GGRRR we were rather upset but apparently not meant to have one! EXCEPT for the girls at my store called me at 8:15 and said they still had some! I told mike that we should go get one and we both figured by the time it took us an hour to get home they would prolly be gone so we resorted to the idea we still weren't meant to have one....UNTIL Mike gets a brilliant idea to call Reid and he does so and Reid (bless his heart) got out of his warm bed and into his cold truck without even scraping his windows and totally got us one!! YEAH!! LOVE U REID!! Well our day continued with more shopping and spending! Yikes!

Wahoo!!

2007-12-12T16:10:00.000-08:00

I am ALIVE!! Wahoo! It has only been like 2 weeks since my last post so I thought I oughta share my life with someone!! HA HA OK So we made it through the shopping business of christmas for the kids (well most of it) and now it is time for Mike and I to do a bit of fun-ness! I am planning a night out for us, without him knowing! So exciting... but I am still trying to not get busted...cuz he asks all sorts of questions in a roundabout way, trying to get me to tell him what i've got planned! I'm really trying to not give in so all i've told him is to be ready at 10 o'clock on Sat. morning. P.S. Take into consideration that I have to work at 5 AM on Saturday. So long day for me, but it'll be worth it since this is the week that I don't see Mike for more than 2 minutes...since i've been working from 5-1 daily for Christmas $$$$. And Mike leaves for work as soon as I get home and he gets off at 10, but I'm so exhausted from getting up early then being a MOM by myself all day that 9 times out of 10 my sorry butt is in bed almost as soon as Quinlan lays down! SO.....
Well here is the plan....my sister is coming to stay with the kids at 10, then my neighbor is taking Jordyn to basketball at 11. At 1:30 my friend Malinda is gonna take Maycen to her basketball. When my dad gets off work, he is gonna take my mom to lunch then come relieve my sister. Well Mikes Mom is taking my girls out for a bit of shopping and eating and whatever else you do on an outing with Grandma O. LOL!! When they are done with that excursion, my dad is gonna take the girls home with him and my mom is gonna stay at my house with Quinlan! Yikes....I hope Mike realizes how much I am really trying to make this a fun outting for us!!
Ok so Mike and I are first gonna look at tattoo shops! (I want stars on the top of my feet!) Then I want to get a few books at Barnes and Noble....needless to say that it is right next door to Old Navy! :) and on our way to the gateway to the Ipod store (cuz' all i asked for for Christmas is and Ipod, Mike wants a new coat and another tattoo)! Then off to the new store called Steve and Barry's. We went to this store when we made our trip to disneyland everything in the store was like $7 Awesome!!! Mike only has like 4 pair of Levi's all from this place and he can't seem top find any that he likes so..? If we have time I wanna go to the factory stores in Draper but that might have to be a Sunday morning to-do! We'll see!
Well I have also made reservations at the resteraunt the Melting Pot. (I highly recommend this place...crazy expensive, but well worth it once a year) Then we are staying at a hotel in salt lake (haven't decided where for sure) and then we're gonna have crazy sex......and SLEEP IN!! I'm very excited about that part! (which one??) stay tuned!! HAHA So that's my story!!

2007-11-27T16:03:00.000-08:00

This is Maycen's scrapbooking work! Isn't she great?
She'll leave notes all over the house for Mike and I, saying how thankful she is and how much she loves us! She left these on our pillows so I would find them when I got out of the shower! Such a doll!

MONEY MONEY MONEY AAAH

2007-11-19T10:46:00.000-08:00

Need I say more? holy cow, I hate this time of the year, money wise anyway! Well I just started working more hours so I could earn some spending $$ for Christmas and to also finish paying off the girls' tonsil bills, right?? Well I called to get our furnace green stickered and the furnace man takes one look at our furnace and is wondering why none of us are dead! AAH Considering our furnace is apparently 50-60 years old, he said that there wasn't an intake (blah blah blah, it goes right over my head) so all of the bad air is recycling through our house!? Oh and our gas valve was broken and our furnace is so old they don't even make that brand anymore so guess what?? And that our old furnace was only like 40-50% efficient. So half of what we've paid for in the last 6 years has gone straight outside! Kinda makes me angry butta...whatya do? Oh thats right..... WE HAVE TO FORK OUT $1400 FOR A NEW FURNACE! OH Did I mention that Christmas is almost 1 month away and the girls are at a stage that both Mike and I are stumped on what to get them so we were thinking a four wheeler! Well I think we've thrown that out the window......so I hope Santa shows up this year!!!

SCHOOL PICTURES

2007-11-15T14:57:00.000-08:00

So the girls came home with school pics today and I thought I'd post them, and see how much they've grown over the years! Oh this really makes me feel OLD!! AAAHH

Cuteness

2007-11-14T16:09:00.000-08:00

Fun days at the photobooth!! I honestly haven't done one of these since high school. Maycen really was in the one with Jordyn and Quinlan but she was cut off so she got to do one all by herself. Wahoo! GOOD TIMES!!
This was honestly such a challenge to try to get them in this position cuz' in my head it was easy butta.....to explain how to make a sideways T plus Q didn't wanna hold still. Yikes!!! But they sure are cute anyway!

2007-11-05T17:40:00.000-08:00

Too CUTE!!
Poor Jordyn was in this costume from 7 in the morning til about 8 at night!!
Maycen won best costume for the trunk or treat awards!
So SWEET!!!

I only took pictures of Quinlan on my phone so we'll "recreate" halloween and post pics of him soon!

PUT ME IN MY PLACE!!!

2007-11-04T20:18:00.000-08:00

Ok so I played volleyball for the church and it was to go to region ....right? Well being the competitor that I am, I played like crap and we lost. Well while walking home my daughter Jordyn didn't was complaining about carrying her water bottle so I kinda ripped it out of her hand and we kept walking. Well about 4 steps later I realized I was outta control..stopped and apologized to her. Bless her heart she said it was fine! Well I went on explaining and told both of my daughters that I was kinda mad for not winning and not playing well. So my little Maycen says, "Mom why are you so upset, it's just a game!" Oh man she totally put me in my place which is what I needed. Thanks girls! I love you so much! And I am very blessed to have the two most wonderful daughters ever!!

A. The rules of the game are simple...

B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.

C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

I have been tagged by Brett.

Facts/Habits about myself
1. I love being a MOM....(most of the time)

2. I love to read. Its not a good things though, when I get a good book I am useless until I finish it (usually 2 days)

3. I am very random.

4. I suffer from something called a memory...or lack of it! LOL! !t drives Mike crazy. OOPS!

5. I have a few OCD tendencies, such as I can't stand being in a room with two clocks that have different times. And everything needs to be centered, for example if a painting is hanging above a dresser it needs to be centered or I can't stop thinking about it. I also make the letter M with everything possible,telephone poles and wires a TV, a car, the ground, something on the ground!! Call me crazy but...whatya do?

6. I love cuddling up by the fire when it is cold outside!
