ANOTHER FUN DAY IN THE SUN!

On Monday Nicole and I took the kids and went swimming at her Grandma's pool. It was soooo much fun. Her Grandma has a very nice pool with lots of toys and a slide and a diving board so we stayed there for a few hours. Jaden floated around in this most of the time...

And Kaylie floated around in this...

I can already tell she is going to take after her mother's love of the sun! She was in heaven in her little floaty and even fell asleep.

As for me, I forgot to put sunscreen on my face of all places and I got fried! I was so busy worrying about keeping sunscreen on my children that I forgot about my face. Oh well...at least it will turn into a tan! LOL =)

The Bachelorette no longer the bachelorette!

I must admit that I was EXTREMELY disappointed when Deanna rejected Jason and made him get up off of his knee. I wanted to throw the TV out the window I was so mad and so sad. Jason is just an amazing guy and any girl would be lucky to have him. The whole show I was thinking Jesse was a dork. BUT then when I watched Deanna and Jesse together on the after show, they were soooooooo stinkin cute! It made me so happy for them! It made me hopeful for me to find someone that makes me all giddy like that someday! Someone I can completely be my silly self with and be my best friend and have amazing chemistry with!
Anyways, I still think they need to make Jason the next Bachelor! What do you think?

Yummy yummy yummy

If you haven't tried this yet, you should, if you have tried it, you will understand my frustration that I had today! It took me a good 15 minutes to open that jar! I'm not kidding. I have never opened anything more complicated then this stupid jar. I was so mad. Poor Jaden was sitting there staring at me while I was cursing and whining and praying that it would open. I was so hungry! I just wanted my spinach dip! Then I started cursing about men and being single and not having a man in the house to open jars of food for me. LOL! I got it open and had my bread with it, and it was yummy!

Tomorrow is the big day!!!

One might call it an obsession...but I just call it excitement! Tomorrow is The Bachelorette FINALE! I really hope that Deanna picks Jason. If she doesn't, I'll pick him! Here are some cute videos I found of Jason and Deanna awwwww :)

HaPPy 4th of JuLy!!!

Happy 4th of July! I love that song, "I'm Proud to be an American" - I really am proud to be an American! =) This country is awesome! It was nice to be back here in Utah for the 4th of July so I could actually sit outside and watch the fireworks. It's too dang hot in Arizona this time of year, so the past couple of years I haven't seen fireworks. Jaden got to see fireworks for the first time tonight. He was soooo tired but he liked to watch them. He sat there staring at them in a daze and then near the end he started to point at them and get excited.

We had a good night at my dad's house. I love me some BBQ! =) Jaden had fun running around with his cousins Anya and Sasha, since he could keep up with them now because he's walking. Overall it was a very fun 4th of July!

Workin hard for the money!

Ever since I have started painting and working for Joy, I have that song in my head... "she works hard for the money! so hard for it honey! she works hard for the money so you better treat her right!" LOL! I have been working hard though. I painted my bathroom last week and now I've started on my living room. I'm going to do a red wall, so I had to do 2 coats of the primer, which I just got done the other night, so now I will start with the red tomorrow. Nicole had some really awesome ideas for my kitchen and the cabinets so hopefully soon I'll be able to do more. My house will be more up to date and in style! :)

I had a very busy day today, on top of the every day mom stuff, I also worked for Joy for a few hours. Then after I put the kids to bed I set up Kaylie's crib. I must admit, I did a pretty darn good job! It's fun being the "man of the house" sometimes! I love putting things together. I still need to get the crib bedding, but I do have a bumper so I was excited to get it on so I could put Kaylie in it for the first time. And of course I took some pictures! And Nicole came over to see it all finished and she got one of me.

A day of fun!

Yesterday was a really fun day! Nicole, Kimber, myself, and our kids went swimming at the PG pool. Kimber has the whole week off of work so it was nice to be able to hang out with her because it has been so long. Kimber, being the prepared person that she is had her camera with her and took some really cute pictures...

Kaylie was awake for about 20 minutes so I was able to put her in the pool for the very first time. And she seemed to enjoy it. The past couple times we have gone swimming she has slept the whole time in the stroller. Next time I will have to try and get a picture of Jaden and I going down the big slide there. Jaden loves the slide! I think Jaden had more fun this time because he was able to walk around the shallow end all by himself. He looked adorable!

And then after Brindley's nap, my dear dear dear friend Nicole came over and cleaned my house!!! She is such a great friend. I love when she comes over and cleans and tells me what to do so I get things done. It's funny to hear her say "LAUREN!" really loud - and that means she is freaking out about something I'm not cleaning. She has trained me to be a lot cleaner than I used to be! Thanks Nicole for all of your help! :) You can come clean my house anytime!!! hehe :) Oh...and I took a picture of her cleaning, and I think she might kill me for putting this on my blog...
