Just a minor face lift!

So as you can all see, my blog has gotten a makeover (not that it didn't need it or anything!).
Seriously though, I just knew I had to do something to it after Tyler told me that I should just stop doing it and my cousin told me that it needed either to be fixed up or deleted all together. So I made the decision to fix it up (obviously).
So much has happened since I last blogged and I'm not going to get into all of it right now. Its going to be a project for when my kids are asleep and there are no interruptions. I promise that I am going to do it soon because there is so much stuff to catch up on and some cute pics of my babies. So for those of you who have asked about me and my fam, Ive got one word for ya. . . Patience, new info is coming shortly. I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things with my blog and we'll blog ya later!

*Birthday Whishes*

So of course we had a big party for Quins birthday. I know the pic above is fuzzy but shes showing how old she is. Shes a pretty smart little girl. Shes catches on quick to things. Just not walking. Shes so not interested. O-well. In time! We had my family over, and Ty's family, and then some of our friends came over. It was really nice cause we haven't seen Ty's family in so long. With Ty being so busy, we never get a chance to go see them, so we were glad they could make it up. We did soup in a bread bowl for everyone and then of course cake and ice cream. I loved Quins cake. I had my sister in laws friend make it and it turned out so cute. Nixon, of course, being the boy that he is and the two year old that he is, had to test taste one of the flowers on the very front of the cake. Of course I wasn't thrilled, being that I told him several times not to touch the cake, he had to touch and eat the flower. After, all he kept saying was "I pick", over and over. My mother in law, in her domestic ways, did damage control, and fixed it. We went with a Tinker Bell theme. We just kind of carried the idea over form Halloween. Besides we found some cute Tinker Bell stuff. She was so cute and so fun. She did a great job entertaining her guests. She was a little grumpy at first but warmed right up to everyone. We definately had a full house and we enjoyed every minute of it. We really did luck out with our families and friends. Its so nice to have everyones support, especially for fun days and occasions like these. We love our baby girl and we are so lucky to have her in our home.

The best face ever. . .

Just checking out her new stuff

The minute she got on this horse, she started bouncing and making horse noises. Can you say "ADORABLE"?

Our Dolly Doll turns 1!

Here are just some pics from when Quin was born . I cant believe that she is already one. That went by so fast. I remember it like it was yesterday. When I first found out that I was pregnant, I'm not going to lie, I wasn't excited. Truth, I wasn't really thrilled the entire pregnancy. First of all it was not at all planned. I dont know many people who plan there kids 14 months apart. I know I sound terrible but i didn't want to go through the same things that I went through with Nixon. I was so sick with him and I didn't think I could do it again especially with a six month old. Not my idea of fun. Turns out i didn't get sick, i was just so unbelievably uncomfortable, it hurt to be preggers. It was all worth it though. I couldn't imagine not having her.
I'm sure you all don't care about that day but its fun to look back on. I wasn't supposed to be due until the 25th of Nov but my family had planned on going to San Diego for Thanksgiving that year. My dad was there with the girls team so we thought we would make a vacation out of it. My mom had planned it like a year earlier and threatened all of our lives if any of us got pregnant. Turns out I got pregnant (not on purpose) and was due just a few days after Thanksgiving. I told my doctor this and we scheduled me to be induced just four days before we were to leave for San Diego. That's the earliest he was able to do it. I thought I would have gone at least a week before or two at the most. Nope! That didn't happen. I started to thin way early and even contracting earlier than normal, so I thought for sure I would have her early enough. Well, turns out she had to wait until the last minute. I had a doctors appointment just three days before my induction date and I was at a two but when I went in that day, I had progressed to a four. So I'm glad I waited because I didn't want to be in labor all day. Just like with Nixon, it didn't take much getting her here. They broke my water when I was at a five and in fifteen minutes I was at an eight. So as you can see, I'm kind of bread for this kind of thing. I didn't have time to get a full epidural and they didn't think that what they gave me would help but it did, for a minute. She came so fast that the doctor wasn't even there. What made it worse was I got really sick right before she started coming out and the cord was wrapped around her neck so they tried keeping her in until the doctor got there. I got so sick that I kept throwing up. And you know when you throw up, your body contracts and pushes. Well that's what I did with her. I basically threw her up. It was only me, Ty, my mom and the nurse, who was great by the way. The doctor got there just as soon as she was finishing coming out. It scared Ty a little because her head was so blue, but she was fine and all was good. I was only in labor for an hour and a half. I love having babies. I hate being pregnant, but I love having them. Theres no experience like it in the world. To top it all off, I still went to San Diego when she was just four days old. I know what everyone thinks when I tell them that, that I'm crazy. Truth is, i feel so good after my babies, sure I was tired, but we stayed in a nice beach house and relaxed the same there than I would if I was at home. It was by far my most favorite Thanksgiving.

Nixons first time seeing his "sissy"(thats what he calls her)

Happy Halloween!

So Halloween this year was pretty fun! If you cant tell what Nixon is, hes Disney's Handy Manny. He looked so cute. We got him the tool set that Handy Manny has and it pretty much hasn't left his side since we got it for him. I wish we would have gotten a full body shot but he wasn't really feeling the camera. Quin was Tinker Bell. My friend Kristina helped me make her costume and I think it turned out so cute. My brothers, of course, thought that she looked like cabbage. Leave it to them to come up with something like that. We took them trick or treating and Nixon wasn't sure at first, but caught on after a few houses, and Quin, in her normal Quin fashion, had the time of her life being pulled around in the wagon. It was all and all a pretty fun night.

Its PARTY time!

This is not really a normal post but I thought it would be a good way to let people know about my modbe parties. Notice i said partIES. That's right, the new modbe stuff is finally here, and so I am going to be throwing some parties. The first one is Friday October 17th at my house (1008 W 1325 N, Cedar City) from 4-7 pm and the second one is Saturday October 18th at my moms (320 W 1675 N, Cedar City) from 1-4pm. We figured since its the deer hunt and the men are going to be gone, we needed something for the women to do. So please come! We are going to have drawings and of course good snacks. Hopefully I'm not writing this to myself and Im hoping people actually check out my blog every once in a while. Anyways, it will be alot of fun!

Go T-Birds!

So if my little brother ever reads this, he will more than likely make fun of me because for any of you who knows Jeff, knows he doesn't like people talking about him, to him or even around him. I just have to say how proud of him I am, how much I really love being around him. I've especially loved watching him play football this year. I also love that he loves my kids and how good he is with them. He will never admit to liking them as much as he does, but that's okay cause we all know the truth. These pictures were taken at his first home football game which happened to be on Nixons birthday. They won and it was pretty exciting. So far the t-birds are off to a better start than they have been in the past. They have won three out of the six games they've played. So far so good in my book!

4 Weeks Later. . .

FINALLY! So i finally got around to posting pictures from Nixons birthday. They aren't the greatest ones but you get the idea. The one below, of his cake, I made. I know, I cant believe it either. Thanks to my sister in law, we got it done. She pretty much decorated it, I just baked it. So I guess you could say I didn't do much. It turned out just how Id planned. All and all his party was a success. Most of his cousins made it, and his grandma and grandpa Prisbrey were able to come. I was also so glad that my grandma Janes could make it. I haven't seen her in a long time so it was nice to see her. She came also for my little brothers first home football game. That was fun to go watch. Of course because they won and its his last year. Anyways, Nixon made out like a bandit with the gifts he received. He got a ton of trucks and the Shrek trilogy because all of our Shreks had to get thrown away because of excessive use. He had a great time and we are so glad to have him!
