back to school...

HI everyone i know it has been forever since i posted like um a year haha. I just wanted to update you on our life. My camera battery isn't charged so this is a journal entry. I started school again this semester for nursing. Im taking anatomy and physiology. I feel like the oldest person at Dixie College, but at least I don't have a suit case for a back pack and pull it all over campus. I had a girl the other day think I was 21 and when I told her I had three kids she was like, NO WAY. I was LIKE WAY. Im kinda nervous for the classes but the only way your gonna learn is to try, so Im diving neck deep.
I took my dog to the dog pound after he escaped from my yard and bite my neighbor, and then I tried to do the right thing and call an animal rescue and drop him off there but it turned into a huge fiasco. So right now my kid think he is living on a farm in california where he can run free and be happy, so he doesn't get mommy in trouble with the doggy police "animal control". In reality he is a mile away in a gated cubicle awaiting someone to adopt his wild buttt:::

NBA Games and the sister came to town....

2008-06-13T10:24:00.003-06:00

This week has been very eventful my sister Jaimee came up from Las Vegas to visit with her three kids. We had so much fun riding the Moped around the neighborhood I died laughing at my sister when she almost crashed it pulling out. You know you feel old when you are afraid to look stupid trying something new. We went swimming and then to Cedar City so my beloved best friend could do her hair. I love Cedar City we went and looked at our old houses and cruised campus and then went and ordered a Hermie burger. OM Gosh.. I can't believe I ordered at 3 teir hamburger with ham on it. I about died...I felt like a ordered a whole cow and it was mooing in my stomach the whole night. Thanks Jaimee for the recommendation. Dont plan on eating for a week. Then last night we had a big NBA game 4 BBQ and listening to men make screaming noises in front of the TV I didn't know existed..WOW..Take it in the room..haha. Sorry no pics sometimes I forget my camera when I am having fun...

Summer Days

2008-06-07T15:04:00.003-06:00

So I thought I would let you in on the funny personalities of each of my children. Allana wants to be a ballerina and a wants to be the center stage at all times. I wonder where she learned that from. HMMM. Here is some pics and videos of my little charmers... I really don't like or let Stevie dress up in Girls clothes... In fact my husband will probably kill me, but sometimes he does it when she is dressing up and I don't want to ruin the fun and make everyone cry.

IM BACK FROM OUTER SPACE.....

2008-06-03T13:06:00.002-06:00

Hi to all my dear friends whom I have been a very bad blogger. I check all of your blogs every day and finally decided to update my own. To do a small update I am so glad summer is in session. All of my commitments have faded and my calender is surprisingly empty. So for fun we have been swimming, playing outside, cleaning the garage and watching football games. My husband joined the Semi Pro football team in St. George. THE ST GEORGE BLITZ.. It has been fun to watch him, though he has already tore his hamstring, bruised a rib, and almost ruined his knee. He has fun and it has been fun cheering on my man in tights. haha.

ELIJAH ELIJAH ELIJAH!!!!

2007-12-03T13:48:00.000-07:00

Oh my gosh if I survive the years that my little man has given from age 0-3 I will be put in a world record book. My little Elijah is so independent, daring, mischevious and has no inhibitions. He isn't scared of repurcutions and doesn't realize his own strength. We have already had one tooth pulled because he almost knocked it out trying to slide in the bathroom in the tube and have had stitches 3 times one on the top of his head and two on his nose. He gets into everything, not once in a while daily. Here is a slide show of his ventures. This morning I found him in the freezer trying to get out waffles before I even got out of bed and he takes a knife and breaks open the child lock on my pantry to get out the pudding. He broke Allana full length mirror in her room on Saturday because he "wanted to slide down it so he put it on the side of the bed and slide down CRACK GLASS EVERYWHERE>" But i love the little man Check out the slide show.

THE BIG TAG THING.......

2007-11-28T21:30:00.000-07:00

Hi Guys, here are 6 things you might know about me....

1. I am super frugal almost to cheap, that is not supposed to be a bad thing but sometimes I talk people out of buying things I'm like, "Do you really need that ." My husband might not agree with me. Ok maybe I believe you can have wine taste on a beer budget. All the girls who look like a million bucks for nothing. Angie I know you are smiling right now. Your like oh is that me. haha. I love you.

2. I love to organize and declutter, but sometimes I make to many piles of clutter to "GO THROUGH". Then I am overwhelmed, so here is my problem I throw things away and I get in so much trouble all the way to my day yelling at me for cleaning the house in 4th grade to my husand asking me where stuff is and then yelling, "Babe why did you throw that away?" Im like you didnt need it, or at least I didn't think he did. But I feel like I am a considerate person, but just don't like clutter. haha. So don't leave your shiz around!!

3. I am not an athletic inclined person, or not coordinated. But after giving birth to my son Stevie 2 years ago and having kids back to back. I was 209 pds. when I gave birth and looked like a freaking whale, it was horrible I need to stop talking about. In fact when my sister Terri was here over Thanksgiving I was giving her maternity clothes and she looked at the pants I wore and said, "Oh my gosh I hope I never get that big. " You know the rest of the story. So I took up a new hobby Exercising, Spin, Pilates, got my butt on Weight Watchers and lost 53 pds. Yeah, so now I deam myself athletically inclined, still not all that great at sports, but hey. Oh yea I just got called to be sports director in my ward and I still get giggles from family and friends and occassionally from my husband. But my yw took Stake Volleyball this year, so HA!!! to all the unbelievers. Wow that sounded like The Diary of a Mad White Women.

4.I like to talk, wait I'm sure all of you knew that already haha. That is why my friends play such an important role in my life because you help support my long wind habit and keep my happy.

5. I love reality TV, like The Hills, The Bachelor ( can you believe him, he has problems committing), Real World ( I know Im a sinner Terri), Pageant Place, any episode of friends. Oh, THS ( there is so such thing as TMI...to much information), E! News Daily and Weekend. Im starting to love the cooking channel and all the remodeling shows and Flip That House. I love my DVR and hate it when my husband goes on a clean sweep when he can't sleep at night and erasing all the shows I haven't watched. " They should have security codes for husbands on the remote. I love Jessica and Brittney.

6. I like the rest of you makes lists over and over and over. So I know what I need to get done, it is Theraputic. I have a problem over analyzing over every person and their movements and intentions. WHy does this person do what they do and their body language and ambitions and the way they right and I love defying what you think of a person and then they do something out of their norm and you see deeper into personls soul and they break all barriers.

7. I love it when people realize their potential. Sometimes I over compliment because I really feel positive feelings toward someone and Im not afraid to let them know. When I was a kid like 6th grade people used to think I would suck up or trying to fit in. Then I became ok with I was and realized it was just a trait of optisim.

8. I love a clean house, but oh my gosh I hate doing laundry and dishes. I wish I could afford a maid.

9. My husband is a car dealer and I have had over 12 cars since I have married. So if you need any opinion s on cars just ask. It is his obession and I have a Harley for Sale right now if you know anyone in the market.

K that is it. Love you

Teriipaia's.....

2007-11-12T11:44:00.000-07:00

We finally did....we are published!! We are so excited to keep in contact with friends and family. Kaleo and I celebrated our five year anniversary this year. Together we have three beautiful kids..Allana is 41/2, Elijah is 3 and Stevie is 22 months. They keep us running all over they are very happy imaginative kids and play together all the time. We have been in St. George our entire marriage and enjoy the warm weather and friendly people. Kaleo owns a car lot with his cousin and does Mortgage loans on the side. He is a very busy guy and we love any time we get with him. I have been a stay home mommy the last 2 years and it has been the biggest blessing in my our lives. It was really hard to step away from the work place, but my work at home is far more rewarding. Ok...lets get real. I love my kids, but oh they are a handful. Our house is crazy a lot of the time with lots of laughter and messy little boys who want to ride bikes and play outside, and a daughter who thinks she is Ariel and wants to sing to every neighbor "Someday I will be part of that WORLD>>>>>" Sometimes it is scary when your kids turn out just like you and you think what did i create." But hey, i love their sweet personalities and wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
