Caregiver

Last night around midnight Brayden came into my room vomiting. Poor guy and no fun for us having a big mess to clean up. The night proceeded with him throwing up every hour, I stayed on the couch with him to help him (he really didn't want to be alone) So today he has spent the day on the couch, no fun to see your kids so sick. Eliza has been so sweet. She gets him blankets and water. She made herself an egg and was so worried about Brayden trying to get him to eat one. She said she would put his cups away when he was done. She has this sweet Caregiver side to her, whenever I am sick she is always bringing me water and food. What a good Sister and Daughter!!!

I surrender!

Every day I commence in battle against my sweet little Eliza. For a few years now she has been picky about what she wears. At first it was that she would only wear dresses, which was not a problem, I just quit buying pants and shirts for her. Last winter she had no problem wearing leggings with her dresses. This winter I have been fighting another battle. Now if her leggings are not extremely tight in the waist or the right length then she refuses to wear them. So I let her go out without leggings only to have the entire walk consist of her crying because she is too cold. Now many of her dresses that she used to wear she refuses with some strange reason. I took her to Old Navy and had her try on some dresses where she picked the ones out she liked, however now she Refuses to wear them. Along with this is her hair, I try and try to do her hair only to have blood sweat and tears. Her hair has to be extremely tight and her head is super sensitive. Many times when I do her hair within minutes it is taken out. So I am saying that I surrender she can wear what she wants and if you see her most likely her hair will not be done, the fighting is just not worth it. Needless to say I am very glad this next one is a boy.....

Mormon Message - God's Love is Perfect

Grumpy!?!!

Ever feel like the Universe is against you? Well I definitely feel like lately everything has just gone the wrong way for us. I won't go into details but seriously I would be so shocked to have something work out. Yes this is a grumpy post I am just having a hard time. I know I should be counting my blessings but lets me serious sometimes you just need to vent, I am not that perfect do it all mother that handles everything wonderfully. So to go along with my venting I am making a list of things I just don't get or think are ridiculous. In no particular order... (not trying to offend anyone, so if you offend easy maybe you shouldn't read)

1. WWF wrestling, I mean really how can people cheer for total fakeness? They determine who is going to win before the match, wear ridiculous outfits and put fake moves on eachother and this has entertainment value?

2. While were on the subject of TV Jersyshore is another thing I do not get. These people dress like skanks, get drunk attack eachother and they are getting paid millions to do it? What is our society turning into really?

3. People who steal netflix. Yes it is stealing netflix to use someone elses account when they are not with you. My mom my sister and I all have netflix, we could easily split the cost of one account and use it, but that is dishonest it's the people that steal netflix that contribute to the rising cost... so thanks so much....

4.The status's of Facebook. When people post those silly things like if you are against cancer you better repost this. I never repost any of those I find them annoying so let me just say now that apparently I am for cancer, child abuse, the Devil, etc. because I did not repost that I was against them. On the same note those posts where you have to give someone a hug or if you think they are a great women you will post on their page, nope I never do those either....

5. World of warcraft, yes I get that it is addicting but what is sad is how many marriages it ruins. Instead of spending time with family or actually getting a job people just play that computer game, This I find more sad than anything, sad for those that have to deal with someone that is addicted.

6. People who are against books or movies that they have never seen or read. I know people who are against Harry Potter but they have never read or seen any of them. Yes if you have read it or watched the movies and you don't like it then fine you can have your opinion but to be so against something you know nothing about is very immature.

I could go on but I think I have vented enough, my next post should be more positive, it feels good to get this out though :}

entertaining

I am writing down things my kids say so I can remember...

The other day I heard Eliza and Brayden playing and Eliza said "I'm not going to die I have a gun in my pocket" Yeah I didn't teach her that

Brayden told us his plan for the future "I am going to get married and then I will be in movies some too scary for kids some good for kids and then when I am done I am going to build Robots!" I love that he has a plan!


The other day Free and I were sitting with Brayden and he says to us "What if the baby is different from us, what if the baby comes out really black?" I laughed so hard after that.

Sometimes Brayden is too smart for his own good: The other day he really wanted to have one of my yogurt drinks, I told him that he couldn't have one. While I was on the phone Brayden came up to me and told me that two yogurt drinks fell out of the fridge onto the floor and broke open and Callie (my parents dog that we are watching) drank it all up.... The problem with that elaborate story is that Callie was sitting by me the whole time! I don't know what I am going to do with this kid that never gives up until he gets what he wants!!!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Shocking I know but I am posting! My life has just been crazy, which what I blame the lack of posting on. Here is what we have been up to:
Freeman finished his first year of Pharmacy school! Hooray only 2 years left. Unplanned we decided to buy a house, I know how do you just unexpectedly buy a house? Well this great house which is in my parents neighborhood came up for sale, it was too good of an opportunity for us to pass it by. We love the house and ward and neighborhood, granted the house needs some serious updating and work but this is Freeman's dream a great house in a perfect location that he can make incredible!! So we quickly packed up and moved.
Days later I left for 2 weeks to Australia yeah it was insane to move and then leave the country! My trip was so amazing, I will post about it later. I had some migraines on my trip (boo) which led to some suspicions and when I came home I found out I was Pregnant! Due March 8th, So I have been completely sick and my house is in complete disarray and still a lot of it in boxes. I am praying this sickness goes away soon. I feel so bad for Free he is being very patient but I know that the messiness is driving him bonkers! (I'm going crazy, I just wish I had the energy and stomach to work!)
Free is on a 5 week break right now which has been great, he changed our sliding door to French doors and is currently building and amazing entertainment center in our family and Bedroom (pictures to come). Brayden started Kindergarten today, he was so nervous that this morning he was laughing at everything a very strange laugh. When I picked him up he kept telling me how much he loved it! Eliza is the same sweet sassy girl.
