I didn't want to say it but.....

I think when choosing a name for your child you try and think about all of the ways that other kids can make fun of it. I know we really may have scarred Brigham for life but we'll chalk that up there to a boy named Sue. At any rate I thought we had a real winner with Vanessa. It's just such a pretty name in my opinion. Well since she has been born she has been called Vanna, Nessa, Nessy, Nanny, Sissy, Sissy LaLa, Sister, and I think Nessy-Pessy is one Brad has proclaimed upon her. Well I am okay with all of those but the one I was dreading was Messy Nessy but if the boot fits....

BIG DAY TOMORROW!!!!!

So my sweet husband is finally coming home and it's my Birthday. It's the best gift ever!!! He has been so sweet this entire week by remembering the birthday monster. Every morning I wake up to find a clue on the table as to where my present is hidden that day. It has been so nice and has helped pass the time. I have a wonderful guy!

SO my little girl has been hanging out with a really bad influence lately. As you can see she is wearing old man glasses and a hunting shirt. Guess who the bad influence is??? You guessed it it's grandpa Joe. The silly glasses crack me up and the camo shirt I could live with out but the girl spits like grandpa. I am not even kidding you. I hope it's a phase and as soon as we move she will move on too, until then I am raising the librarian from the mountain. Thanks DAD!

Passing time with Brigg and miss T

No great story here I just am trying to pass some time as my husband is still away in NY and thought I would try and perfect my photo editing abilities. Aren't they adorable though. These two fight so much but they really do love each other.

Beginning of my Birthday Week

Ok so I was all sad tonight, my man left for New York for just about my entire Birthday week. What made it worse is he was really sad to go too. Normally he is itching to go and I have to tell him to go and sit in the car until I am ready, it really is bad. But I would almost rather that than seeing him beeing so sad. So he took me to dinner and then I dropped him off just a few hours ago and I cried all the way home. I came in and in my efforts to get my mind off of him went on the net. I saw that my web site THeRedPolkadot had been updated. Well normally I like to keep my two blogs separate but I had to show what ginger just posted.



Aren't they rockin! She has some other cool stuff if you want to check it out click here. I love it because there aren't too many things for boys. So I am still upset about Brad but I guess life goes on.
Oh and if anyone has any ideas as to what I should do on my birthday I would love the suggestions. I have the day with my mom. She said I get to plan it so I can do what I want and not what she thinks I want. Problem is I want to be with Brad so anything would help. Thanks!

Here's to learning how to forge your mothers name!

My sister in law was talking to me about her high school reunion coming up soon and it got me thinking about my graduation announcement. Most people wouldn't think about that because there's was the generic one that has been printed since the 50's. My mother thought that she could come up with a better announcement for my brother and I. I thought that it was lost forever since I never got one because they were all sent out. Well I was wishing that I could find one and behold the power of thought brought one to me. So I thought I would write down what my mother put for the sake of having it, oh and sharing of course.

Deep Thoughts
Lance and I were talking the other day about not ever having to ride the stinky school bus again now that we are graduating, not having to listen to kids screaming or the bus driver telling you to sit down or get your head back in the bus, or catch you chewing gum on the bus, then she'd make you take the gum and make you stick it on your nose and everyone would laugh and laugh, and we swore that if we ever got thru school we would make them PAY!

(open the card)

And then it hit us, Lance could drive the bus and I could be the mean lady telling kids to put gum on their nose and then WE would laugh and laugh!!!!!

Isn't that so great. I mean who else had that sent out to everyone in their life when they just accomplished 12 years of work. Thanks mom this goes right in there with the dread of her sending notes to school because she always wrote about me having on clean underwear etc. Well here's to learning how to forge your mothers name.

Valentines day Photo Shoot

So for valentines day we decided to take out kids to the fundraiser for the two sisters one heart. It was fun and I am glad that we went. We also stopped at the temple on a whim and took some family photo's just for fun. I could show you the really awesome amazing shots of the fam but then you wouldn't have anything to look at when you come to my house when we MOVE IN MAY!!!! So here are the really bad out takes, ENJOY!

This little Pig had babies.......

The Pig had Puppies about a little more than a week or so ago. I think I may have scarred Brigg for life because I let him watch one of the births. All he said was, "EEEEEWH YUCK". So I don't know how much damage it did. He still likes to go and see the pigs so I think we are still ok. I found something out too that for all of you who don't have a weak stomach may or may not like to know. But after a pig gives birth you don't want to touch any of the babies because you leave your scent on the piglet and the mother will kill it. She may even eat it, EEEEW YUCKY!


Also Dallyn's dogs are at our house for a while there are only five left and I think a few of them still haven't been spoken for if anyone is looking for a dog.
