This makes me want a van... Very Funny!

pinning ceremony

This was awhile back when Erik had a pinning ceremony. His school is now a University so the name is changed so they got new pins this year.  I didn't know about his ceremony until the morning of (thanks babe)  and I had a party thing to do so I couldn't go but I sent my mother-in-law and the kids to watch. 

We are proud of Erik because he just got his board test results he took at the end of last quarter and he passed!! So he only has to take one more board test sometime, and one more other hard test the end of this quarter! He works so hard and its fun to see him treating people and becoming a great Chiropractor.  He is done in December and then we will see where the next adventurer takes us.

homemade fruit roll.ups

(found here)

 

Today this is what I am making, the best part about living in Oregon is the fruit, and the green that is everywhere! Today I got a box of strawberry's (and they are GOOD, BIG ones, like no white in the inside its juicy and so yummy) I got them from a guy selling by my house I talked him down to 10 bucks!!

Ear drum burst

This is so I can remember when this happened! Not to interesting-

So last Friday I went vting and was outside waiting for like 10 min. it was a great day so I wasn't to worried about covering my ears.. which why I would is because my ear's always hurt in wind or cold.... So anyways after Visiting Teaching we were headed to the park to eat some lunch, and well we didn't stay to long becasue my ear was starting to hurt.  Went home and did my usual of getting a rag wet and heating it up and putting it on my ear, but it was NOT working. It started to hurt really bad.  So when Erik got home I told him to go get my prescription that I got from my doc for me being sick that I never went and got.. dumb me- so Erik picked that up and he brought Chinese food home. I let him do some chiropractic trick which he sticks his finger down my throat and it starts to make my ear drain, so that felt so good, I had him do it a few times. I kept telling Erik it just felt like it was going to blow out. He looked with his doc. stuff and said yep it probably will, it is puffing out. So low and behold in the night it blow out, and I woke up with it leaking and it felt so much better. Until something happens and it would be a really bad sharp pain that didn't last to long but enough for me to grab whatever was by me to keep me up! Its funny because I was really dizzy at first, and when I get up to walk I walked to the right but its getting better- I stayed home from Church slept all day and then Erik gave me a blessing and I am feeling much better, I'm just waiting for my hearing to pick back up... That's my long story about my ear... left ear, my right ear burst about 6 years ago when I was wak boarding- I have bad ears, always have!

Our little guy has a name..

Mitchell William

But we will call him Mitch- we have been trying to figure it out for a long time now and last night we came up with this and it just felt right! We have always named them right away so it feels good to start talking to little Mitch when he's kicking me!

Testimony-of-the-Book-of-Mormon


I KNOW the book of Mormon is true- and I am so thankful that I have it in my life!

Someday... and alittle about Ethan

I have so much to post about but STILL my computer is dumb and I cant get my pictures downloaded- And I am sick AGAIN so I have felt like doing nothing, But to come are some fun Zoo pictures, This years garden and planting with the kids, and a NBA game Erik took me to! 

But until then I can say I have the cuties son, Last night he said-

Mom, I am going to do my goals...

I say great which ones? 

Well, when I get big I am going to be a Dad, a Dog Owner and a Garbage Truck Driver! 

I said great Ethan, I know you can do it, you just keep your goals high and you can reach them...

I just had to laugh- because I think he could reach those goals without trying to hard! It was just go cute. Oh last time he told me his goals being a Chiropractor was in there to, but not this time- He see's that his dad isn't home much to be a Dad I guess!!! and being a dad is #1 on his list!! its cute!

He also has been so funny and telling me things just so out of the blue- like tonight

He said, Mom why do I not have a cute bed cover? 

I said... ummm well I have been thinking about that to, and thought we could make you one!

He's like no, I have lots you already made, I just want a cute one like I use to have..

Its true his bed is a queen and he does have all my home-aid ones that dont really fit becasue they were my college ones that are for a twin... What a bad mom to not have a nice bed cover for my 4 year old son!! (but really it does bug me- I figure he will probably be downsizing his bed when we move)

Then again tonight he said mom I don't really like wrestling.. (when we were in Idaho that was the big thing to do with all the cousins) He has been practicing with dad a lot lately...

So I'm like why not?

Umm, its taking all of my muscle away, because I have to push so hard and all my muscles go away- 

And well I have a HUGE ear ache and so I'm trying to tell him that it is actually making his muscles grown but he was trying to show me moves that make his muscles go away and well I think my ear was and is going to explode at any point of me moving so I just had to stick with- oh, its good for you. now go brush your teeth!

he's cute and he has these big concerns lately and I just love to see this kid use his brain and think of the things he thinks of.

clipboard love

i search for some clipboards awhile ago after seeing these cute ideas and then I never put in up on here.

here are some clipboard ideas that i love! mine are like the ones in the top right picture, it works so good for all my business stuff to keep it looking cute in the office.

{i can't remember where any of these came from. if you know... please tell me!}

Loving it

I just started this book my mom let me barrow and I am LOVEING it, I love a book that I can't put down and that gets me all gitty inside, this is doing it for me. I think it is because I think of Erik and I and when I heard him sing to me and my reaction!  There are five books I think so that makes me even more excited that I have a good long time to read these books.  So mom you will have to find out who has your #3 because I am thinking these first two wont take me to long, loving it!

2 great kids

I have the cuties kids, I just love them, they are both so excited to have a baby brother. Ethan wants to name it Roxyo Prealeeo he must think that is a boys version of Roxy Pearl.

And Sadie says the babys should be called Sobe dobe doa- They are so sweet and I thought it was time I do some bragging! 

Ethan is so sweet and kind, he is very shy when he is around new people but then as soon as he warms up he is so nice, he plays well with everyone he plays with. He still loves to cuddle up with mom and I am so happy for that. He is my go to man, and if he says no, I just say hey I could count and see how fast you could do it and he loves that.

Now Sadie, she is our Sassy Sadie who LOVES to scream at her brother and spends lots of time in timeout for screaming but she loves her brother so much and she LOVES giving kisses, I think I get more then 25 a day, Shes very giving when Ethan has and apple and I ask for a bite no way would I get one but Sadie would give me the whole thing if it made me happy! She loves to cuddle and I love that.

I just needed to brag on them a little- thats my job right!
