new posts.........(dont read if you are going to be offended)

BAH HUMBUG!!!!!!

So, I have been told by a few that I need to post some new stuff. Seeing as how we have no new news I am not sure what to post. I guess I could post that Mike still has No Job, But nobody wants to hear that. I could post that I am just like my mom and HATE Christmas, but then you would all think that something was wrong with me. Now I know your all going to ask why I hate Christmas so here it is. I hate Christmas because, ever since I could remember it was just a time of stress. I remember my mom always yelling at us that we were ungrateful for this or don't deserve that. Now that I am a mom I find myself doing the same. I also hate the whole gift thing. We have never had the money to buy what is wanted for our kids, yet always find a way to get them at least one thing they want. I just hate the stress of trying to find it and deciding what to get. Then you have the decorations, I hate the mess of getting them out. The mess it makes in finding the room to put the tree up. UGH!!!! I guess I shouldn't be this way, but I am my mothers, daughter!!!!! Did I mention my birthday is right after Christmas and on my sisters birthday..... and for those of you who don't know, I come from a family of 8 kids!

I know some of you will say that Christmas isn't about the gifts. Or that I need to get back to the true meaning of Christmas, but lets get real you all have felt this way at one point in your life. Besides try explaining it to my 6 year old why Santa isn't coming. I think from now on every year right after Thanksgiving I am going to become Jehovahs witness. (that's just a joke)

As for a post we are all fine. We are still alive, but wishing we could get rid of these sore throats that keep coming and going. Hunter had his eardrum break a few days ago and it now keeps draining. He will see the ENT on Monday for that. Brock has been fighting something, needless to say he may not pass the first grade because of all the school he has missed. The only one who hasn't been sick is sweet Kilee. She has been good to me and sleeps for 8 hours a night. The only problem is it starts at 7pm.

Well Merry Christmas to you all, hope you got the right present for your kids!

The cutest and craziest kids ever...............

Kilee is getting so big she loves the kids and all the attention she gets! She has a very cute bond with each of the kids. She also has Mike wrapped around her finger!

This is the pretty dress that Grandma Arnes got for her. She looks so cute in it. Kilee however needed a nap when this picture was taken!

This is what happens when your afraid of light, but want lights!!!

Yeah for Kenzie!!


This is Hunters new best friend! The dog seems to get lost every now and then. But by the way Hunter hold her, you would to!

Just a cute Picture of Kilee!!!!

(Kenzie and Kortney made the flower on her head, we have tons of them)

Kilee is 4 months old...........

Pictures by Aunt Susan!

So Kilee is 4 months old and a very good baby! She is so good at just being......She is starting to chew on things. Her hands are her favorite. She also LOVES the TV, I took her with me to the theater, it was so funny to watch her eyes go so big, and she just stared. She is still a tiny little thing but my kids always are. She weighs 11 lbs (10%), 23 3/4" long (25%), head is 40 1/2 cm (25%). She loves her brothers, and smiles so big when they talk to her. I think Brock is going to be her favorite which is good because Kenzie and Hunter have a special bond!

The Movie and My feelings about it!

OK so I went and saw "Twilight" tonight (thanks Steph, I don't think I would have gone had you not asked) So here are my thoughts, I think that Edward was way to pretty for a guy. I know he was suppose to be gorgeous, but to me that means a little facial hair and muscles. Plus, I am not really into blonds, and what was with the long hair sticking up in the front? Maybe because he traveled so fast that's how it looked? Anyway, I do think that Bella was way cute, and the rest of the cast was very well chosen. I know Aunt Lori you are going to hate me but..........Jacob was SO CUTE!!!! I just have a thing for dark hair and skin. I also agree with her that the scenery was way nice, Mike may see it just for that (I don't think I could sit in a tree though.)

Breaking News!!!!

You heard it here first (unless you were watching the news to)! they are going to make the next book "New Moon." YEAh for me that means more JACOB!!!!

Hunter turns 4!

Here is him and his Sponge Bob cake, Yeah cake!!!

Hunter playing with some of his toys!

Blowing out the candles (he really was happy!)

His most favorite thing BOWLING!!

I think Brock was happier about this present then Hunter was, he does love these gloves (if that's what you call them)

Hunters Birthday is really today, but it is to hard for the family to all get here on a Wed. night so we had his party on Sunday. It was a lot of fun and a lot of people. I had been sick all the week before and going to work so it was kinda just thrown together. So sorry if you didn't get an invite and wanted to come the only people that got invited were the ones that asked about it. I am so bad!!! It was a fun day, I made barbecue pulled pork sandwiches, a salad and chips. Of course we also had cake and ice cream. Hunter was so excited and could hardly wait to blow the candles out. He started asking about his birthday after his cousin Maddy's birthday (which was the 25th or so of Oct.) I just cant believe he is 4 already! He is such a good boy and so nice (most of the time) He is so solid, he only weighs 5 lbs less the Brock and can take Brock down anytime he wants. He is going to be our sports player, he loves football and while we were at Wal-Mart he found some baseball helmet. Well he decided that they were football helmets instead and went and found a football. We thought we had lost him, but nope he was playing football all by himself in the isle. It was so cute!! For his birthday he got a lot of great present and he loves them all!!!!

Thanks to everyone for coming and maybe next year I will be better prepared!!!!!(I wouldn't hold my breath though)

Halloween '08

These are the pumpkins that the kids and Mike carved. These are also the pumpkins that magically grew in our flower bed all summer. It was way fun to watch them grow, it took over the whole flower bed and the grass in the front. We got a lot of comments about the plant. We figure they grew from the year before pumpkins that were left there while it snowed.

The pumpkins in the dark!!! SCARY!

Kilee was a bunny rabbit and the bow was one that Mikes sister gave her that I fixed a little! She was good for a little while, then she was done by the time we got to grandmas house!

Brock resting after doing his pumpkin. He did most of the carving on his own this year it was way cute!

This is the crew! Mckenzie was a hippie, Brock was Anakin (from Star Wars) and Hunter was of course Darth Vader. We went to my sister Robyn's house first and went in her neighborhood a little bit. Brittany came with us she was a mermaid and Josh also came and he was a motocross guy at first then he changed and was an army guy! We had a lot of fun, but it was a long night. After we went to Robyn's we went to Mikes moms neighborhood and meet up with his sisters. That was a fun neighborhood, and they have a lot of older kids that go so Kenzie, Josh and Brittany didn't feel weird as they are almost to old for this anymore. Hunter gave out after about 10 houses so he went back to Grandmas. Well we all know that his candy was for Mike and I, plus I was having a moment. So I grabbed the mask that came with Brock's costume and I went Trick or Treating. Kenzie and I had a blast (we took of and left Brock with Mike.) It was fun to act like a kid again and spend time with Kenzie goofing off!! She really is like my little sister a times (that's what my sisters all tell me anyway)

Sorry it took so long to post. As of Oct. 3 Mike has been Unemployed. His work laid off all but 4 guys, and well he was one of them. With this we decided that I would go get a job were ever I could get one and he would look for one that was going to pay him at least what he was making. I now work at Maverick gas station. Its a hard job but its OK. Its kinda funny because the people I work with are amazed that I don't want to work there the rest of my life. I am hoping and waiting to get back on with Labcorp (the company I worked for before I had Kilee) but they are on a hiring freeze until the new year (something about the stocks.)Mike is collecting Unemployment and that is helping, he has been really good at keeping the house clean and the kids homework done. He has been going out looking for a job every chance he gets, but with no education its hard. He has experience in construction but there is not much building going on in Utah right now. I know we will get past this I just hope it goes by fast!!!! Keep us in your prayers!

Rude People...........

OK so just a random blog here.
If you are a reader of my blog you know that I have been having problem ever since I had my baby. Well I decided not to sue the Dr. (it cost way to much, yes I called) but I did decide to go to a different Dr. When I decided to do this (2 weeks ago) I called and asked for my records. At the time, I also wanted them just in case I did decided to sue. Now remember this is the Dr's. office that I use to work at, plus he delivered Hunter. So I have known these people for years. Well today I finally get the call to pick up the copies (2 weeks later)and the lady that I got them from was so rude!! It is a big file but really she has nothing else to do, her job is to copy records and make appointments. Then I go back to the lab area to see my friend that still works there (lab area is an actual room and anyone can go there, Labcorp rents it from this Dr., just so you all don't think I am just walking around the office in places I shouldn't be) I pass 3 people that ALWAYS talk to me when I go there and none of them even said Hi! I could see if it was busy, but it wasn't they were at lunch!!! OK so maybe they are mad that I no longer want to go there, or that I no longer work there, or just don't want to be nice to me anymore, but really is a Hi so hard to do!!! Oh well I guess I wont be asking that office for a job anytime soon!!
