all she wants for christmas is her two front teeth

her two front teeth, her two front teeth-

yesterday- {11.12} we went to ry's moms for dinner. kennedy has had her two front teeth loose for almost a year. i'm not even exaggerating. they got to the point they were so gross. she could move them back and forth with her tongue. she used to have a gap in the middle and she pushed her right one over when she was playing with them one day and got it stuck so the gap went over to the right side.

she totally looked like a hillbilly.

last night she was wrestling with her grandpa and bumped it. it started to bleed a little bit. i told her- 'lets just pull it!!' and she freaked. she is such a baby when it comes to pulling her teeth out. i had bribed her with almost everything and she still wouldn't let me touch it.

i told her to open her mouth so i could get a paper towel on it to stop the bleeding.

and- bam. i just pulled it out. she was so mad at me. she looked in the mirror and then was even more mad because she said she looked ridiculous with her other tooth hanging there and said she hated the way it looked.  she started to cry even more so i said let me just look at it. i put my finger on it and- bam. pulled the second one out. then she was fine.

the tooth fairy came to our house last night :)

that tooth fairy also forgot to take the teeth so kennedy thought she was extra lucky she got to keep the teeth and got sparkly dollars.
it's so perfect for this time of year.
i think she looks so grown up with those teeth out.
my babe is so dang cute.

and i made her these lovelies-
she said i should sell them to everyone so i could buy a HUUUGE house.
i like that idea :)
etsy- here i come.
HA who am i kidding?

happy sunday

i have so much to do today. {thank you pinterest} and i think i'm going to be brave and go to h&m. i just can't handle it. i want to get the kids clothes sooo bad. you would think that with their birthdays just 2 weeks away i would save what i buy and give it to them then. nope. i am the worst at that. hubs can't stand it. we went shopping yesterday and i have this obsession with wrapping paper { which the best friend does too- someday we're going to be so rich off of selling it } i was in the wrapping paper aisle forever. even worse- it was all half off. i came out with only 2 rolls that time. he told me if it was that easy to make me that happy he would take me to the wrapping paper store everyday ;) i told hubs i can't wait to wrap something. he just smiles and shakes his head. he's such a trooper with my shenanigans.

and- now we're off to go CHRISTMAS shopping!! thank you walmart for your layaway. now my kidlets won't be getting their gifts early ;)

i'm thankful for our veterans

today i am so thankful for the veterans out there. past and present. especially my cousins, carmen and rhea. carmen is currently overseas and i think about him every single day. i love them both and thank them for what they've done for our country. freedom isn't free. i am so grateful to be living here and have the freedoms i do. i have such a big mouth i don't think i would last very long in another country where freedom of speech isn't implemented. haha :)

today was {11.11.11} i thought something cool would happen. it didn't. 11 has been my lucky number for as long as i can remember. my whole family is always seeing 11.11 except my dad who thinks we're just weirdos.

it was a good day nonetheless ;)

i have a new addiction. pinterest. i don't know where it's been all my life. but it's not a good thing. i seriously could sit at the computer for hours. i have a looooong list of things to make tomorrow.

and i cant.wait.

happy weekend!!

i am thankful

every november i remember after thanksgiving that i want to blog at least every other day something i'm thankful for. it's the 9th so i'm definitely ahead of schedule ;) better late than never. today my best sent me this picture-

i love it. she is the best.

i am SO thankful for being her best friend.

she just gets me.

she genuinely listens to me.

she has always been there for me.

..and we have so much fun- even when she makes me go spray tanning

with her and i wake up looking like a blotchy pumpkin.

it's creepy how comfortable we are around each other.

why go spray tanning alone when you can have the bestie

standing right next to you to talk to.

i love you christina. you're the best

under the mistletoe

       i can't wait to take kennedy to school tomorrow then straight to target. why? because this came out!!

yep i'm that girl that changes all the presets on november 1st to fm100.kosy106.5.and b98.7

and just waits for all the christmas music to start.

2 months just isn't enough!

and oh man i love me some justin bieber.

                                                              hubs hates it. poor guy.

i married scrooge. he says he's never loved the holidays.

i just keep telling myself that one year i'll convince him how amazing they really are!



girls trip to disneyland

we really had the best time in disneyland. it was so nice to get away from everything and just be with our girls :)

one day i'll figure out how to post videos on here and post the video of when we told them.

we woke up at 6 in the morning and i told kennedy that she needed to get ready so we could have a playdate with hailey. we had been telling the girls for a couple days that they could have a sleepover soon. kennedy got up and asked why she was up so early since it was dark outside still. i told her that it wasn't that early, the sun just hadn't come out yet and- even grandpa had already left for work. she got up, got dressed and then we went upstairs. christy and hailey showed up and we asked them what they wanted to do today. hailey wanted to go to park city :) then i asked them if we could go anywhere they wanted where would you choose? kennedy said- DISNEYLAND! we looked at them and said, ok! lets go :) i don't think they believed us at first. hailey was worried about her clothes not being packed ;)

we got in the car and went to the airport :)

           the girls at the airport waiting for our plane :) we got them matching bags with fun stuff in them. thier favorite was the peace sign pajamas. of course.

             one of the nights we did mickey's halloween party. it was $50 a person but we thought it would be so cute for them to trick or treat at disneyland. and one extra day to wear their costumes. tina and i went as 80's girls :)

we stayed up so late and woke up early. but- it was so fun. even getting blisters from my toms and not being able to walk was so worth it.

we are the best moms ;)
i have so many pictures to upload but my computer is so dang slow. someday they'll all make it on :)

happy monday

i saw this on good old facebook today and i love it- i feel like it was written just for me :)
enjoy.

i push doors that clearly say PULL.

i laugh harder when I try to explain why I'm laughing.

i walk into a room and forget why I was there.

i count on my fingers in math.

i hide the pain from my loved ones.

i say it is a long story when it's really not.

i cry a lot more than you think I do.

i care about people who don't care about me.

i try to do things before the microwave beeps.

i listen to you even when you don't listen to me.

 

today was such a good day. i came home dreading the 4 loads of laundry

{ that really should have been at least 7 but i cram the washer way too full }

it needed to be all folded and put away.
you know- the worst part about doing laundry.
and the hubs had it all done.

i married a good man :)

well..he crawls out of his crib

jagger has figured out how to climb out of his crib. i could kill my dad for teaching him how!! ever since he learned it's been such a nightmare to get him to sleep. he used to go to sleep at 7 or 7:30. it's almost 9 and i've put him in his crib 8 times already tonight. and- now he's in the computer room with me playing with his toys. it's exhausting. this time of day used to be my favorite. it was my time to relax all by myself until the next crazy day began :) oh man this is not fun at all. i know i need to be strict and once he lays down i need to keep laying him down until he's alseep or he'll never learn and this will be a struggle for who knows how long! he's lucky he's so dang cute or he'd be in big trouble ;)

every year we get the pumpkin pizzas from papa murphys. kennedy loves it!

cheap and easy dinner with no clean up. you can't beat that

i got puked on today

i love my job. i really do. i even love the kids who run around the office with no shoes on. well- sometimes not those kids. i usually luck out on not having to get impressions of kids' teeth that are gaggers. today god hated me. it was the craziest day. ever. the second i put the tray in the kids mouth blahhhh he puked all over. i don't know how i didn't throw up right after him. i told my boss i need a raise.

on a good note- tomorrow is my friday! wahoooo. a whole day to myself. you know you're a mom/housemaid/laundromat when all you can think about doing is cleaning the kids room and finally getting all the laundry caught up. really though- it's amazing what you can get done without 2 little munchkins running around.

disneyland was so amazing. except all the damn people. and the blisters my feet got from walking so much. i have never seen that many people crammed into one place. it was nuts. the girls had such a blast though and i would do it again in a heartbeat. those pictures are to come :) until then i took pictures with my phone. the quality is just amazing!

                                                        80's night.cleopatra.and a witch


one of the nights we let the girls do mickey's halloween party. it was so cute. christy and i decided if we were paying that much extra we were going to dress up too :)

        the girls loved playing at sephora in downtown disney. i think their bright pink lips look awesome

we went to a pumpkin patch on saturday! it was so cute. but it was really weird being so hot instead of cold. i love that this weather has been so amazing. kennedy's future mother in law carson got some really cute pictures. and of course i forgot my camera. remember my brain problem? so the only one i got is of tina and i :) poor hubs. he's never in any pictures because he's always the one taking them. on my phone :)

family pictures.2011.

i love my family.

we hadn't had family pictures taken since you used to take your kids to kiddie kandids

with old navy pull over fleece zip up vests.

we were so long over due with a shoot.

our photographer is so amazing.

she captured our family just perfectly.

the pictures of me and my little family make me so

proud.

i am so happy to be where i am today.

enjoy.

my poor brother having to grow up with 3 older sisters. haha :)

             oh kennedy rian. you are so gorgeous. sometimes it makes me cry to look at pictures like this.

my kids and niece are so lucky to have such an amazing grandpa. it's so cliche but he is honestly the best. just yesterday when kennedy and i were in disneyland- my dad wanted to keep jagger home to hang out with him instead of him going to grandma kerris :) the little things like that mean so much. especially to me. i didn't really have grandparents growing up so it really melts my heart to see how amazing of grandparents they are.
