OH FRIDAYS!!

today we got a text from Tani Freeze inviting Anna and I to go to Seven Peaks.. and of course we couldn't refuse!! So we got all dressed and ready and headed over!! We usually only do the lazy river and the wave pool they are just the easiest with a 2 year old!! Going to the pool is one of Anna's favorite things to do, she just cant get enough of the water and it was really nice for Mommy to have a friend to talk to as well!! so we road the river for a while then played in the wave pool then decided it was time for lunch! For lunch we had PIZZA (one of Anna's favorite) and once we filler her belly she was so tired so we put her in her little tub and road around the lazy river for a while, while she slept. Then off to sit in the sun to dry off!!
It was a super fun day and it was nice to get out and do something fun!!
Oh and one thing i forgot to mention.. my baby has turned black!!

And for all of those reading.. yes i did put sunscreen on her this is from a summer at seven peaks in the same swim suit!! She was just blessed with her mothers wonderful tanning skin!!

Well later tonight we headed to Walgreens to pick up some diapers (which they didn't have) but we did make jackpot!! all Mickey toys were 25%-75% off!! YES!! so we picked up a bowling set, and bean bag toss game (mostly for her party) and tents with balls in it and mickey cups all for Miss Anna's 2nd Birthday!!

She is not going to know what to do with all of the Mickey stuff she is getting for her birthday!! but now we are officially done buying her stuff for her birthday and we still have a month and a half till her birthday!!

GO US!! i love planning ahead and buying things months in advance one of my best qualities!!

After that Riley went on a run and we followed on the bike he is now up to 4 miles and can still breath after, then drove around and put up signs for our yard sale tomorrow!!

YIPEE!!

peace out!!

or as anna would say

"nigh nigh"

:D

since march!

Well because of our couponing and food storage that we have built we haven't really been grocery shopping since march.. besides the basic milk, bread and oreos.. so today we thought maybe we should go grocery shopping!!

< this is before










           this is after>





so I know it doesn't look like much.. but we did fill our cupboards back up.. and we only spent $78.00 and our goal was $80.00 so I feel pretty awesome!! Plus alot of it was healthy.. like fruits and veggies!!
GO US!!


PLUS WE HAVE THE CUTEST BABY ALIVE... even when she is living up to her nickname of "stinker"

Modesty Goal

Well yes i did forget to blog yesterday so today you will get two posts from me!!

So Yesterday we went up to my Home ward and did a modesty fashion show for the Young womens. We brought up Shelleys Wedding dresses and some prom dresses and they had a lessons about modesty and setting a goal to go to the temple! So each of the girls got dressed in a wedding dress and looked at themselves in the mirrors and then the leaders took a picture of them as though it was a bridal and they are going to give them the picture with a picture of the temple so they have a goal to reach for!!

This was a fun experience, mind you i didn't know any of the girls which is sad because i have only been out if young womens for 3 years!! But it was fun to see all the little beehives in wedding dresses!!

So if there are any young women leaders out there that would like us to come do a fashion show let me know!!

Mickey is loosing it.. so is mommy!!

Well we have been finding this stuffing around the house and didn't know where it was coming from until we picked it up one time in front of Anna and she said "Mickey" well we didn't really pay attention to that until we noticed that she said "Mickey" every time we would pick up the stuff!
Well turns out....

Mickey had a HOLE!! well this was a big problem because no one is really allowed to touch Mickey and she has to carry him around everywhere!! So in order to fix his hole I had to sneak in during nap time and take him to fix him and then when she woke up and found him missing she started crying for "Mickey.. or how Anna says it Gicky"!!

NEXT...

You know when you put your kid to nap and you hear a weird noise but don't want to go in there in fear of them wanting to not sleep well I did this, this afternoon i let this weird noise go for about 10 min until it got louder and louder and then I walked into Annas room to find this...

she had ripped off a loom from her room decor and decided to break it into several pieces.. yes she did learn the word NO and now everytime she sees her room and the looms she says NO NO!!

Daddy quote i found

This is a super cute quote that I found for Daddy's and Daughters!!

our Day...

We have been cleaning out our house.. well as best we can!! Because we have decided to have a yard sale this Saturday to get rid of everything we don't use and will never use!!

HELLO room full of crap!! Anna and I cleaned out her room, our room, the hall closet and the extra bedroom and this is half of the stuff we have found to sell at our yard sale..(yes most of it is baby stuff)! Anna really enjoyed cleaning things out mostly because she loved playing with anything new!!

Anna found a pair of glasses that we had bought from claires (they were fake glasses but look legit) and she put them on and had to wear them the whole day!!

does she look so cute!!

(also today is the start of our new blog challenge of taking a picture everyday of what we are doing and blogging about it.. hopefully i can keep this going)

blogger idea!!

Since I am going to be having time on my hands again because I quit motherhood I have decided Im going to do a picture blog a day... what is this you may ask??

Well Im going to take a picture of something Anna and I (or just Anna) did each day and post it on our blog and write something about it if it needs words.. that way Im making sure to blog plus it will be fun to see all the cute things Anna has done!!

Good idea!!

I think so...

weight oh wait!!

During my high school years I never ever had to worry about weight gain EVER IN MY LIFE I also never dieted or worked out or anything ever in my life, I stayed perfectly fit and always laughed at girls talking about dieting and things like that. Well the very first time I ever broke 100 lbs was when i was 5 months pregnant with Anna (i lost about 15lbs during the first 4 months) by the time Anna was born I had gained 40lbs yes i quickly lost that weight and was almost normal besides my breasts!!

Anyways to get to my point I went to my Kidney Doctor this week and when they weighed my it said i was 92 lbs... ha ha ha I told the lady that had to be wrong I wasn't even 92lbs when i was in high school. So I came home and told Riley that I was 92lbs and he said well maybe your loosing weight in other places (because i was just complaining to him how big i was getting) so as i had thought about it my body has just decided to go back to normal after having 3 pregnancies and my breasts have finally shrunk back to normal size so I have come to the conclusion that I really am 92lbs!! YAY, for me!!

I didn't need any dieting (which i will never do in my life because i love soda and cookies to much) and I didn't need any exercise either (besides chancing my 2 year old)!!

So I just thought I would share my good news with everyone out there!!

:D

GIRLS..

my favorite thing about every morning

whenever i head into the bathroom to do my hair and make up Anna follows. She pushes her little potty/stool up against the vanity and combs her hair when i comb my hair then when i put my make up on she gets a q-tip and pretends to put her make up on (until i really do put some make up on her, which she loves to wear pink eye shadow) then when i brush my teeth she has to brush her teeth!! its one of my very favorite things about the mornings, knowing that my daughter just watches me and loves to do everything that I do and this is such a great reminder to me that I need to make sure im doing the right thing all the time because she is always watching!!

stress to the max

So im having a bit of a concern lately that is very hard to deal with and there is really no sollution!! yes i know this is going to be a complaining blog but sometimes people just need to have one of those!!

So one of my main problems that i am facing right now is health issues and no im not going to go into any serious detail but to give you an idea of what im going through is that I go to the doctors office about twice a week and thats on a good week, all of the nurses know me by name and know Anna by name, Anna knows the whole doctors office each room and bathrooms, all of the doctors have a nickname for me "the side effect" (yes it is even written in my records) and everytime I go in I get a hug from them saying how sorry they are i go through all of this!!
Oh and don't worry this is the first of my problems!!

Then I have a major stress problem going on in my life that pretty much effects me every day and there is no sollution to relieve the stress from this problem and Im probably going to be dealing with it the rest of my life and yes I have tried living with it but it has its ups and downs to were it doesn't bother me and then when it comes up again its just worse each time cause im really sick and tired of dealing with it!!

After that stress problem I have another one going on with Miss Anna to were certain things happen to her that hurt her emotionally and make her very sad and then I have to deal with a very sad hurt little girl and the things that hurt her she shouldn't have to be dealing with especially at 2!!

Then work (motherhood) is really kind of a crappy job its just like high school drama all over again and being married and a mom Im sick of drama after 10 min of it... so im probably leaving that job soon because i don't need more stress!!

Also sometimes I wish i could just act my own age (being 20)  instead of  trying to act 30 or older and trying to be very mature, it is very hard to try to be mature sometimes and yes i know i was the one to have a baby and get married very young but please also remember I am trying to be a great mother and do the right thing for my daughter instead of just pawn her off on my parents and never take care of her and always go party so sometimes i feel like I should have a day to act my own age!!

Also Riley and I both have a major stress problem that effects both of us being we are in different  situations then most we are only 20 and have a baby so those who are our age have nothing in common with us (so we have lost our friends) and then those who are in the same situation as us think we are to young and immature  or have there own friends and don't need any more.. so we feel like we don't have friends. And we feel like we don't have any family support for us and they only really come around for Anna which is understandable because it seems like none of them really got over the fact we are young have a baby and married but really its been 2 years get over it and realize WE ARE A FAMILY and there family as well!! so we feel like we just don't have any family support or caring and not really any friends, so it makes it hard to get our feelings out because all our problems are the same thing over and over again and they are problems that cant be fixed really and we are both tired of hearing each others same problems and we don't have any one else to talk to!!

Sorry about all the complaining and ramabling but it just needs to come out sometimes!!

Thanks all
and if you have any sollutions please let us know!!


:D

Independece Day Celebrations!!

This year was super fun and really packed!!
The Holiday started for us on Friday, our neighborhood does an annual firework BBQ show and it was so fun we ate hot dogs and yummy sides that everyone brought and Anna ran around like she always does then the fireworks started and it was a bit crazy cause they lined all 100's of the fireworks up down the road and lit them all off at once it was super loud and the smoke was so thick that you couldnt really even see the fireworks and Anna got really scared cause it was super loud!! But aferwards they had an out door movie (Gnomeo and Juliet) Anna's favorite movie so we went over and watched it and she loved it (yes it was at 10:00 at night).

Saturday I had to work but Riley took Anna to Seven Peaks for the Afternoon then when I got off we went to Carterville Park to watch the Stadium Fireworks, with the Chad, Shelley, Kenzie and Logan and there cousins, It was super fun and Anna loved watching the stadium fireworks everytime one went off she would clap and yell "YAY" and then ask for more!!

Sunday we had Grandma and Grandpa Creps over for a BBQ and fireworks and I got super sick Sunday night and just kind of laid around all day which stunk cause i really wanted to party. And Grandma and Grandpa stayed the night so we could all do the provo celebrations on Monday!!

So we woke up Monday more to go to the balloons but the balloons didn't fly because it was too windy so then they went and got a spot for the parade while i went home to take a nap cause i still didn't feel good and then the jets flying over our house woke me up and i felt much better so I went over to the parade just in time and Anna seemed to love the parade and loved watching everything especially the big blown up characters and all the county princesses. then after the parade we went back to the house to hang out before hitting the booths, there really wasn't anything exciting at the booths just flowers and indian stuff (that is why i love swiss days cause there stuff is so different)
That night we headed up to Heber to Grandma Susans house to have a BBQ and watch Midways firework... then we headed home and off to bed!!

Anna really loved the fireworks this year and getting to hang out with family and friends... I cant wait fore each year to come cause they will only get better the older she gets and know more about what its all about!!
