New Job!

Ok So I am so excited about this new company! They have the best food! It's so good and the best part is you just take a set amount out of your grocery fund for the month and register online and they will ship the products to you every month. The shelf life of this stuff is longer than it will ever take you to use it because it is so good. Besides all the basic stuff that you can get from the bishops store house they have almost every fruit and vegetable you can imagine, but they don't taste dehydrated or flavorless they are so full of flavor. I just signed up today and can't wait to get my kit so I can begin cooking with this stuff everyday. So if you would like to know more or get some of your own for FREE then let me know and we will schedule you a party.

Trace My little angel

When I realize that it's been about a half hour and i haven't heard or seen Trace this is not what I usually find. But I will take this over the other any day of the week :)

Little devil they don't call it terrible two's for nothin.

It's complicated

So I don't try to make things easy for myself at all. Not only am I on my third try potty training Trace I decided to kick Dayne out of our bed at night also. I must say maybe third time is a charm with Trace he is doing well were on our third day and only two accidents today! I am the one seeming to get frustrated it's always easier to just throw a diaper on them. Not Trace he's always excited to go potty so he can get a sucker. BUT He does NOT want to sleep in Carson's bed with him He wants his crib still which is why Dayne ended up in our bed. Then I remembered I had a pack n play that i could put him in, cause the longer you let them in your bed the harder it is to GET THEM OUT! I thought this process was going horribly until i read on baby center that when some couples do the "cry it out method" the kids can cry for up to an HOUR! Dayne's max is like 20 mins. I am not really liking the whole cry it out thing, it breaks my heart, but it worked with Trace and he is still my best sleeper. Dayne will go to bed about 9 or 10 and sleep till 4. It must be from nursing but I have never had one sleep through the night until there one. Which doesn't really bother me only because I don't have to get up early for work. My hat goes off to mothers that work AND have small children whew. I don't know that I ever will....... but i have been researching adoption lately. That is just a sure thing for me to get a little girl and I could adopt a four year old and wouldn't have to deal with DIAPERS and NURSING again. With my track record odds are I will get another boy and I love my boys, I would just absolutely love a girl. Just to experience both:) I guess god knows all thing and gives you what you can handle so maybe i can't handle a girl?

Tight wad!

My two youngest hit picture ages so I needed to get some pictures done. Bla Who! what! where! when! how much!? I just didn't want to deal with that so I just pulled the camera out and started snapping. It's just sad, i tell ya ,that i don't have the patience for child number two, to take him somewhere, hope that he's happy, keep him CLEAN until we get there, then pay for pictures I don't like. I'll just tell him when he's older (like he'll ever care he's a BOY) that he was to difficult to take pictures of at home for FREE, so I wouldn't take him some where to pay for pictures. Now When there older and will cooperate that is a different story. Also if I ever have a little girl that will care about her baby pictures I will definitely pay to have some good pictures done of her cause she will want them later :) I thought Dayne's turned out pretty cute way better than Carson's at this age that I paid for. The cutest one I forgot to take off the diaper. I just LoVe the cute little tiny baby bums. Trace is all full of expressions but just runs from the camera, so that makes it rather difficult. Just have to zoom in and try to snap when he looks. Carson has his pictures done in the same little suit that Trace is in at two. I want to do all the boys in that suit at two so we can compare later. We also need some family pics done now that we have anew member maybe we'll wait until spring I've never done any that time of year any ideas of where??

ZOO?? with DAD

I must say I never thought this day would come that Austin would go to the zoo with us!! But guess what he did :) It really helped that he's been out of work for the last two months cause he had back surgery and was bored out of his mind. We planned it during the week so we could avoid the crowds man didwe screw up, I guess it was UEA week in Utah which means don't go to Utah period. It was so packed but we still got to see everything. We have just loved having Austin home for the last two months. I thought he would drive me to drink, but really I don't want him to go back Monday. It 's been nice to have my "hunny do's" DONE. Now it's hunting season so I wont be seeing him after work either. My boys are all growing up and I really need to get Trace's 2yr pics done and Dayne's 3mo pictures done so hopefully soon I'll be posting them. I was just going to take them to JC pennies,but that is so old fashioned now, who does a good job and is cheap? :)

A piece of our summer

Hobie Cat sailing at Twin Lakes. Austin Took his Dad and the wind was so strong it blew the boat over twice. =0

If you haven't done this put it on your list. tubing the portneuf river up at Lava hot springs! Super fun!! We even took Trace and he wanted to go again.

Austin took this post card photograph up at Little Redfish Lake wear my mom and dad are camp hosting. They have been having multiple bears in the area up there. We just camped up there in TENT for five days. Austin was very adimat that I sleep in the tent with him? So I did and everything turned out OK, except for my loss of sleep :/

Austin has been doing a lot of fishing this summer. I'm glad he has got to go because Sept 1st he is having Back surgery and will be layed up for six weeks :/ I am excited to have my man back without pain. I know he'll be a happier person. Also thankful for the food storage we've put up, we'll be needin it while he's out of work.

**Family update**

Carson is starting kindergarten in one week taking him school shopping today. I think I am more excited than he is :) He got Mrs. Wallace which I haven't heard too much good about but were gonna give her a try. Trace has entered in the school of HARD KNOCKS. He has had so many injuries lately. Stepped in a natural hot spring and burned/boiled his foot, Fell down and got a huge fat/split lip, now he has the hugest and deepest sliver in his heel I don't know what I'm going to do about that it's just to deep :/ Dayne is getting to look like a little person instead of a wrinkled, red, zitty newborn. Still has his days and nights a little mixed up, but were working that out. I just love the infant stage where they can't talk back or throw fits, then they grow up. We have been so blessed in our lives to have these beautiful, healthy children, to live in this great place, that Austin has a job to provide the things we need, and great family and friends around us. So Grateful for our Savior and his Gospel that we have to guide and direct us in this life. I love life and it can only get better from here right! :}

HE'S here

I have been a slacker at getting this post up but with good reason. HE! Is finally here after being five days late he was 7lbs 9 oz and length was 21.5 in the exact same size as Carson. I really though I was Pregnant with a Girl this time, because of how emotional I was while pregnant. THREE Boys what am I going to do when they are all teenagers and eat like horses! I will try one more time for my little Girl but that is all! We named him Dayne Brackin and Carson keeps asking me if we can change his name because he can't remember it :) He is one week old and is a really good baby. I will take more pictures and post them later.
