Toy Story On Ice

Luckily for my kiddos sake I have this super annoying friend who loves to search out things to drag her kid to and usually convinces me to do the same thing so we were at it again Disney on Ice take 3 I think for us!

We did SCORE some really good seats this go around , right in the front of where most the action took place and pretty low so the kids loved that! The story was super cute but I would Definetly say the first half peaked our kiddos interest more then the second. It was one of the longer shows and being that it started at 7:00 it got a little narley at the end!

My crazy kiddos getting down on their snacks ! Sis kept yelling where is BULLSEYE and Jesse, I had no idea that she liked them so much. Wyatt was sure to find his Woody doll that I dont think I had seen him play with in FOREVER and show it off, also told me it was his favorite thing in the whole world, funny how that happens.

Missy Joey and her Chicken Nuggets! It is so fun brining her with the kids because I feel like if every minute they are rocking her world! She is such a well behaved little girl, quiet little voice, and slow pace little mentality. I love IT! She adores my kiddos and do they her, she is still "baby joey" to them and I love seeing how much they care for her. Especially since Kamrynn is a whopping 10 days older then her :)

Pretty Little Princesses!

They do get pretty crazy with one another at times tho, Kamrynn being the bully I would hate to admit but Joey will hold her own when they start throwing blows haha! Jamies assures me tho even when Joey is older and won't want to invite Kam to her birthday parties she is going to make them be friends regaudless!

This was the BEST to watch, the were getting DOWN to the music. Totally Rocking it. I tried to convince Wyatt to go dance with the girls but he looked at me like he was no fool and way to mature for that.

Ya, we left a little early. Kamrynn passed out in my arms, Joey was fighting to keep her eyes open and Wyatt was curled up in a ball on his chair. We missed the Toys getting back to Andy's house which made us be able to get home WAY FASTER! That parking garage at the stockton arena is INTENSE and in the past we have been stuck in line of traffic for like an hour so Jamie and I were happy to leave a minute early and get out of the mess.... plus hey I had Toy Story DVD playing in the backseat so the kids fell back asleep thinking they were still at the show ! :)

Sooner then later I was teasing Jamie that unless one of us gets a bigger car we won't be able to ride together to these events and that will take all the fun out of it!

Life full of good memories , happy to get to make them!

Showering with Love!

Baby Shower for Mrs. Whitford and Baby Girl

This past weekend I was able to throw a baby shower for my friend Jamie who is due at the End of March!

She is actaully a Stigelmayer, so when you told me at first she wanted to have a small shower I knew that it was virtually impossible! :) ... nor did I want her to exclude ANY of the people that love her and this new baby just as much as I do so we had a HOUSE FULL of LADIES!! It was great and turned out just how I had hoped. If you know me I LOVE planning events and thankful for the oppurtunity to be apart of this.

After browsing through the wonderful world of pinterest I tried to get some new ideas to throw into the shower to mix things up a bit.... major problem is I am no where NEAR "creative" when it comes to actually getting the idea in my head out to the world. So, I did what I could to make it happen. Instead of your typical cake decided to do a PREGO BAR. Ice cream bar with all the goodies and treats for toppings. Thank GOODNESS for the dollar store with any party , right? Saves so much money for the same products! Got a bunch of the bulk toppings from that WONDERFUL trip I told you about at Winco .

I am not a HUGE game fan , I know what a debbie downer right? So, we did the Baby game. Got everyone these stylish Beads , courtesy of the Dollar store and you weren't allowed to say the Baby word. Kind of an SUPER EASY game that takes no real effort... Just my style! :0

Our second game became a real "stink" LITERALLY! We decided to go with the guess what chocolate was in the new born "poopy" diaper , NOTE Do NOT PLACE DIAPERS IN MICROWAVE! It was hilarious but rather smelly for a bit as we burned a twix bar and nb diaper trying to get the chocolate to melt. It did however add an extra element when tryign to guess burny chocolate!

Jamie Marie and baby girl about 32 Weeks PREGO I believe. She looks super cute ! She wil probably want to punch me for posting this picture but I think it turned out good!

Jamie and Joey raking in the loot for the new sis! Baby J is definetly Well loved and beyond set !

The Family Clan ! Such amazing woman!

I had so many friends help out with brining food, treats and everything else!

Josh had to stop by for a minute and he totally claimed that he could here the chatter of woman out in the shop outside and said it was for sure getting "deep" inside :)

Can't wait for Baby J's arrival !!!

Oh Winco !

2012-02-03T08:43:00.000-08:00

Doesn't anyone else feel like going to Winco is like a complete workout?! Add the kiddos into the mix whom demanded that we get the HUGE cart that has like the kids seats in the front and then the basket so that we are literally like 8 feet long trucking down the aisles, always a good time! Of course I went on FEB 2 too , DUMB idea everyone gets paid at the first of the month!

Anyways we were checking things off the list, Kamrynn dumped out a huge scoop of flour all over herself and the aisle in the bulk section and of course they put the wrapped valentines candy in the front of the aisle to entice kids to beg their mothers whom are suckas!!

So as I am like starting to sweat with my 8ft cart gettting filled and heavier with the necessities and making false threatening statements to the kids that if they got out of the cart again I was going to beat them, none of which they actually even cared to listen to , and circling the store like 3 times looking for some stupid carmel we were to the end... or shall I say the WORST part!

Check out, now I totally understand and appreciate Winco pricing and making things affordable but bagging your own groceries is really just crazy!

Wyatt was super helpful THROWING things onto the belt to get checked which is always kind of weird because the person in front of you is doing the same song and dance of trying to unload their cart then run their cart the end to start bagging then run back of to the cash register to pay meanwhile my stuff is already like overflowing the belt and getting into theirs .

Well we are all unloaded about to start our check out and after Kam just knocked down 5 boxes of candy on the little side aisles she has to got potty.

I said okay honey lets just wait 2 mins and pay and then we will go....

" NOOOOOO I HAVE TO GO NOW MOMMY, HURRY HURRY NOW" As she dances around and yells.. Well no Fighting that. I look at the CHeckstand lady who I think is already over it for the day and I was like we will be right back there is no holding this 2 year old back.

All three of us run to the bathroom leaving the cart mid aisle .... what are you doing to do right?

Either a puddle on the floor or we keep the traffic moving in line.

We made it out , Smooshed cupcakes after Kamrynn decided to help me bag and literally THREW the bags into the cart and pushed the 8ft cart out to the back 40's of the parking lot.

After loading up the car and drinking like my whole water bottle I kind of just laughed, this is life and it's so funny sometimes but I am so happy to get these type of experiences with my kids pushing to my limits and making me realize that I really can't control everything and just gotta go with the flow, it will all work out and the ride will always be good.

Cooking....Carrot Protein bars..

2012-02-01T08:38:00.000-08:00

Did some baking yesterday again, yes another shocker it wasn't from a box either!

I have to admit it was still pretty easy , it is just more work making sure you have all the ingredients, well since I Dont typically cook that is usually my stopping point becuase I don't have them and GEEZE oh PEET buying spices and what not is NOT CHEAP! Luckily we did get a awesome spice and cooking "what not" rack from the wedding that until recent has been a but little decor on my countertops but I have been pleasently suprised to find most these random ingredients in it for the recipes I have been finding!

I made Carrot Protein bars that I got off the bodybuilding website from the famous Jamie Eason. Thiriza had made some pumpkin ones the other day that were AMAZING so I decided to try the carrot. I have to say I think I will go for the pumpkin next time but these are still pretty good.

Josh said if we added Vanilla Creme frosting to them they would be over the top... but since I made protein bars and not CAKE , not gonna happen!

Here is the recipe

Wyatt's growing up..

2012-01-30T09:03:00.000-08:00

This morning I was thinking about my little boy as he sat in the back seat of the truck talking my ear off on the way to school, asking me the most random questions and begging me to take him to get a doughnut, all I could think about is how is he such this little person already.

I know it is almost like cliche to say "they grow up so fast" becuase everyone says it but wow its just simply amazing. He is practically self sufficient when we wants to be, gets dressed on his own, can reach the sink to wash and brush his own teeth, reminds me to turn off the lights when we leave the house and tells me to go when its a green light! I am seriously in awe of him everyday, especially the way he deeply cares for his little sister. I love hearing him teach her about things and despite the fact that they fight he just loves her so much.

He told me today that its okay that sissy copies him , she just wants to be cool like he is ! haha!

The other weekend when we were at the Sportsman Expo walking around Josh and I were able to let Wyatt basically do all the cool kid stuff and I looked at him and said it feels like we were just here the other day saying and thinking I wish wyatt was big enough to enjoy this . He loves basically EVERYTHING! Hunting, Fishing, basketball, baseball, football, dirt bikes, rzrs, and doing "work". The best part about it is he remembers everything! Ask my four year old how to hook up your trailer and he will tell you not to forget to plug in the lights or lock the coupler! It KILLS me! Definetly something he got from his Dad ... I don't remember that stuff now!

This is Wyatt's Second season up on the kirkwood ski hill. We went to the Ski swap and got him some used skis and boots this year and he was PUMPED. Him and Grandma hit the mountain this past week and my little man is totally off the bunny hill and on chair 5! If you know Wyatt he is a little timid at first but once he gets the hang of things he is full force. He BOMBS down the mountain!

He loves hanging at the shop. He does Taxes, computer work, sales quads, filing .. you name it!

He also will sit with Josh at night at his desk and do invoicing and billing for hours.

I just love to see how he is growing , my little boy is just becoming so Grown and amazing me everyday!

So YEP I am totally bragging about my son today... I am SO one of THOSE moms! :)

He is a pill as well, I will never deny that but so blessed He calls me MOM!

Oh Sundays......

2012-01-29T17:44:00.001-08:00

What a sunday! I love Sundays.. I know most people do but really there is just a sense of calmness on sundays that I LOVE. Today the kiddos and I embarked upon a lil 5K run in Elk grove with some friends of RSF crew. The run consisted of the EG automall and school.. very scenic and beautiful.. bahahah NOT! It was nice to have a run put on in Elk Grove tho , so I should not complain. The double BOB is getting heavier these days, with Wyatt growing like a weed his side is definetly harder for me to counterbalance with Kamrynns. They enjoyed putting me to the test this morning as well... yelling, fighting, attempting to bail out of the stroller ... needless to say not one of my most calm and peaceful runs but still felt good as always.

I will have to say tho I loved seeing some of the newer runners in my life do so well at the run. If you do run you know that amazing feeling you get when you run a little farther or faster then you have before its AMAZING and seeing them reach these points just makes me SMILE writing this.
There really is nothing like running, the runners high is something I yearn for and feel so blessed to have a body that I am able to experience it with. The past few years I have found some really great running buddies that have become some of the closest people in my life which probably why I do enjoy it even more. Running therapy ... great cleanse for this crazy brain of mine.

... meanwhile after the run the kids and I were jamming to church where I had the amazing plan to change in the car, which hey no big deal. Except for the fact that I forgot to pack my brush and makeup .... ITS CHURCH.. whoops. Not only was I "fake" clean.. I couldnt even cover up this face and hot mess of hair I had going on. Luckily my mama bear told me oh your silly you dont even need makeup.... gotta love moms they have to lie to you. Love her.

After church for some odd reason doesnt matter if you had eaten only one hour before you are always starving!! WHY is this? Its like you body just knows that hey its sunday, mom made dinner and you need to eat and then lay flat for a few hours. No matter what it just happens. Maybe its just that your body just finally knows you get to shut down for the afternoon and it is TOTALLY okay but honestly so glad it naturally happens. Another perk is my kids run WILD at my moms which means I dont have the mess.....

So I LOVE sundays! Church to reconnect and get on track for the week, Family all day, Meals , Rest and reminded of my amazing blessings.

Also this week just found some new recipes I am going to attempt ...
who am I? Recipes.. Thiriza is rubbing off on me to much :)

I like blogs, so why don't I write in Mine?

2012-01-28T12:09:00.000-08:00

So, I was reading some blogs today, which I find myself doing all of the time alot of peoples that I know and some that I don't and I was kept thinking why don't I keep on my own blog?! Its such a great way to luck back on memories , document things, have fun posting and just a great way to express yourself... and what it all boils down to is WHO CARES if no one reads it or I am the WORST writer on this entire planet and post about BORING things it will be my blog.

I recently coarsed my friend to start a blog with a purpose for a fitness challenge and I was so overly excited to start helping her with her own posts and once again started thinking why aren't I writing in my own blog.

Okay so now I will once again VOW to starting documenting my life more then just FACEBOOK, I am so guilty of posting photos and life junk on facebook and forgetting or neglecting to do it anywhere else. I have these awesome scrapbooks (on my mac) if you know me I dont do the super creative stuff .. just all ready to print and make more and I need to get back on the stick of blogging and our family albums. No Excuses!

Kids are getting so big, Wy man age 4 just as active as active can be. Preschool everyday, shredding his dirtbike and quads, ponies, basketball, soccer and today we had our first Tball practice. I love his observant little personality I swaer if I could be as observant and great of a memory as him my days would be so much smoother. He is so tall and growing by the minute.

Miss Kamrynn Jade is 2 and half and she is the SASSY princess! She portrays herself as this girly girl with her purses and love for pink but watch her in action its a whole different story.

She calls the shots, pushes the boys around and knows how to wrestle. I love watching her personality unfold . She is a Daddys girl for sure.

Josh is still being his insane self working and pushing harder ... gotta love him for it.Maintaining about 100 head of Cattle most of the time "his hobby" and been blessed to stay busy on the construction side of things.

I have finally wore him down lately and he is on a health kick , which is fun for me to watch.

Being newly a "morm" has been fun to watch as well and been such a blessing for our family.

Rock Solid Fitness has really taken off and I am LOVING every minute of this opportunity.

Its funny that ists only been almost 2 years ago that I finally got enough courage to pursue actively training others and I am so glad that the things in my life played out the way they did to push me to do so. We are constantly growing but yet maintaining our small fitness family atmosphere and I just cant describe the HIGH I get from becomming close with all of my clients and really seeing them make these HUGE changes in their life. It MOTIVATES me everyday and I am so happy this endeavor keeps going!

I have been COOKING!!~~ SHOCKER~~\

But I am actually liking it a little bit.. well just the pure fact that we have food in the fridge like left overs is awesome! haha! Not to mention with not just me eating "crazy" and Josh on board it is almost a necessity.Cooking was on of my 10 goals for 2012 that I set with a 30 day challenge I am doing so far so good.

Up and Comming for Us...

I am taking the kids to go to vegas to visit CARLY in FEB! Can't wait, might get a little narley with us three handeling the plane and travel but I am sure we will get through it. We will be there to play for about 4 days, I got AMAZING deals on the flights -- all three of us for $200 TOTAL round trip.... yep just call be bargain shopper! JOSH is stoked he is too is getting a mini vacation from us! ... I know he is totally thinking that.

We are going to Hawaii in April with the Messersmith Fam! I am so excited to go !!

Josh has never been to Hawaii and I have only been to Maui years ago! EXCITED for the beach , relaxing and seeing the kids in the ocean!

So, if anyone is reading this... I will be writing more so check back, even if its to see if I failed at my vow!!!

My closet....

2011-01-21T14:02:00.000-08:00

Seriously I know MOST all Females think the same thing while browsing the closet trying to find something to wear or more importantly when they are going on a trip... but HOW do I have a walk in closet full of CLOTHES that NONE of them I really want to wear or really even like!
Even more importantly why in the last 5 times that I have "cleaned my closet out" have I not thrown out all the sweaters from like HIGH SCHOOL, the jeans that have frayed bottoms or the MLLIONS of tshirts that I dont ever even get to wear. I am thinking that if I cleaned my closet for real I would be in SHOCK at how much empty space I would have left over rather then attempting to clean it out and saying that I could probably wear this someday! I also have that VERY TOP shelf going around the entire closet and it is PACKED of crap.. let me think of the last time I actually got on my step stool to see what was up there.. hmmmm YEARS?!?!
So my goal.. GUT this closet, seriously give all this nonsense cluttering up my closet/brain and I am guessing if anything comes out of this it will have an easy decission getting dressed... I will prob have like 5 choices!!

The beauty of working with your family.....

2011-01-19T16:09:00.000-08:00

The beauty of this post about the beauty of working with your family is that about 2 HOURS ago I was so overly IRRITATED to be working with my family but the BEAUTY of it is that right now everything is A okay and moved on with. If you work with your family this might make a little more since but seriously on any given moment of any given day working with your family can either be ONE of the BEST things in the world or one of the most emotional moments ever, but the beauty of my family is that no mater how upset or mad we make eachother within a good half an hour we can somehow fix whatever was wrong and manage to finish the day being friends again. I think is primarily has so much to do with the fact that unlike a normal J-O-B this is our life, we eat, breathe, think and live this place and everyone is whole heartly invested in bring the best we can to make it all work it is hard not to have minor or major breakdowns (esp from this girl). There is no Sticking it to the man , calling in sick when you aren't really sick, or just getting by because everyday I feel as if I want to Do the BEST I can for not the business but my family. I know it goes the same for all of most of the people that work in small businesses or family businesses but I guess what I am getting at is that I feel LUCKY today to be able to work shoulder to shoulder with the people that I care more about then anyone in the world.
Family is what this life is all about and tohave the opportunity to be together no matter how mad we get or sick of "shop talk" we are I am thankful that my life took the turn to be doing this with them. I love that I am able to bring my two little "trailer trash" in the making babies here to spice up the days and tests the ropes like I did growing up but really happy that they will get the knowledge and experience of work at a young age and get to experience the behind the scenes details and energy invensted in a business. I know it brought a light to my eyes as I got older and I hope the my kids can have the same experiences.

So the moral of this little story is .... 1. Trevor I am not mad at you for making me cry today... ahaha... 2. So grateful for my parents who have taught me so many things but more inportantly for having the patience to teach me everyday and be patient enough to let me grow and better their business 3. Grateful for family lunches packed in moms office 4. Our stupid little fights or DEFENSE modes just because we hate to admit that we could of done something wrong or hurtful to this precious little place we call " the shop" 5. Thankful for the lessons I will continue to learn and the arguements, hugs, tears, sales, praise, and time I have to be here working with my FAMILY!

ohhh January!

2011-01-08T14:33:00.000-08:00

Jan-- how did you get here so quickly, because if I remember correctly back in November I had promised myself I would be keeping up on my blog.. and then somehow its JAN and yep no posts! Christmas was great, it was was the first year that Wyatt
actually understand the whole Christmas concept. The spiritual side of baby Jesus birth and the importance of that (well sort of understood), Santa was a concept he finally fully understood but def didnt want anything to do with him when it came to sitting on his lap or taking pictures. He did manage to give him a high five while he told him what he wanted for chirstmas... but most importantly he was ALL ABOUT opening presents and what present was next! It was fun to see him get so excited about it all, making cookies, christmas caroling with Karol, his preschool christmas program, decorating the tree.. the whole sha bang. He was completly spoiled rotten as usual and the majority of it all wasn't even from us! He now keeps asking me when the next time we will be going to sleep and santa will be coming to visit. My wy guy getting so old and knows what seems like EVERYTHING! He is such an intent listener and watches everything that is going on in his surroundings, his attention for detail amazes me, especially my KID , you know me and what a spazz I am! He is such a good big brother always caring for her sister wondering about what she is doing, what she is going to eat for snack, where her babies are... truley her keeper.

Lil miss wild thang Kamrynn Jade! Still Famous for her crazy hair always a hot mess fills her house with her little squels!

This year for christmas she finally got some girl toys! Babies, dress up clothes, crowns, cribs, high chairs, the works! She still loves following Wyatt around the house yelling him and doing everything he does and loves taking showers, organizing her cards and toys adn my baby girls loves to snack! She is already 19 months old and is just becomming a little big girl!

I am excited to see what this year has to offer for our family! We already got the great news that Thiriza is prego and I get to be an auntie ! Wohoo! I am hoping that business stays busy on all levels of my life with Josh, Cal Custom, and with my new rock solid fitness training. I am seriously loving EVERY minute of how it is going , the people I get to work with and see change, and the new things I get to learn as well go along!
Taking a girls weekend trip this weekend to Seattle! I am excited to get away with my friends and have a great time!!!

I will blog more.. I promise! If this is supposed to be my "journal" then I definetly need to be better at it!!!

Alan Jackson, Football Game and some Oysters...

2010-11-12T15:41:00.001-08:00

Wow what a whilwind weekend we had .. TONS of fun but I have to admit this 26 year old runs out of gas so much quicker then the good ole days!

Thursday Night we were lucky enought to head to Arco to See the Alan Jackson concert with Shannon and her gang :0 Josh and I. DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY HITS Alan Jackson HAS?! I t was insane ... I guess he has been in the Biz for EVER but WOW I didn't realize that every other song on country radio was by "AJ" as Josh was referring to him :0 Fun Fact: Alan Jackson has had more the 20 Number one singles and 20 more Top Ten hits all in the first 12 years of his career... It was cute he told the story of how his career had started he was about to give up singing cause his wifey was due with their first little one and then he finally got a hit! THIS DUDE is so LOADED... that was also a major topic of convo while Josh and I were singing to the tunes
The concert was also Chris Young and the Band Perry! They both were great performers and LOVED THEIR new songs.. not to mention Chris Young isn't to bad to look

Friday Night Wyatt, Shannon, and I made it over the The Warriors Stadium to watch the Big Galt High vs. Liberty Ranch football game. Thiriza is coaching the Liberty Ranch Varsity Cheerleading team and I have been trying to get to a game to watch.. I know cheerleading right.. haha, but the girls looked AMAZING, there halftime def set the bar HIGH for cheerleading :0

I did feel kind of like a TRADER as I walked over to the "visitors" side of the stadium and sat on the LIberty Ranch cheering section... but I have to admit I was cheering for the Galt team a bit, hey I am Alumni I gotta support my roots !!! Wyatt loves watching Football , he really wanted to know why his "Pudha" , Trevor wasn't out there playing. He has watched Trevor Play in college and then recently in the Alumni game and didn't understand why he couldn't play in this game! Too cute! Wyatt also informed me he will be playing half back .... my kid , someone tells him on e thing and he retains it all !

The annual Tri Tip and Oyster Feed was on Saturday night!

It is always a good time, although it is crazy to think that it has been over 8 YEARS that I was wearing that blue jacket serving out oysters as fast as possible for tips !!! It is fun to see so many people from the little "galt" country community. I am so happy that I was able to be apart of the FFA in High School I really believe it brings so much to the High School experience as well as brings connections and life skills for the future. So.. THANKYOU to my AG Teachers . I do hope that the program is still going strong when my kiddos are that age, it is just something different then sports or your typical extra curricular activites.

"I DON'T KNOW"

I was just pondering a REALLY bad habit that I am doing way to much... the words " I don't Know"... totally a COPOUT to not answer questions, avoiding extra work , and me being LAZY! Seriously, I have been catching myself telling Wyatt " I don't know"... Now It is probably after he has asked me 30 to 40 questions in a row and most of them being "why?!?!" but I know he is just wanting to take in as much as possible and me saying I don't know is LAME!! Same goes with work sometimes, Rather then stepping out of my little sales and finance box to help out in other ways I used the I dont know... to get out of it! SO NEW GOAL..... " I DO KNOW.. and IF I DON't I CAN FIND OUT! " .... So if you catch me , call me on it!

THis week will be crazy , getting ready to go to Disneyland and then turkey day festivities!!

October has come and gone!

2010-11-03T12:20:00.000-07:00

The Last Week of October was a WHIRLWIND of FUN!!

WOW, did October seriously already come and go?!

Halloween was a ton of fun with the kids this year! We started the HALLOWEEN WEEKEND on friday with Wyatt having his Preschool Party during the day and then that evening going to a festival with Trevor and Thiriza. Wyatt decided he would be Mickey Mouse Wizard.. I know why isnt my kid something like typical.. :). Not my WY GUY! Kamrynn was two different costumes this year, starting off with her adorable candy Corn witch costume that Gma Wana got for her.

Then she turned into a cat for Halloween night that Julie got for her, Yes she is SPOILED!

Saturday night we went to the Church "TRUNK OR TREAT" which was fun with games and then all the cars in the parkinglot that the kids got to go trunk to trunk to.

Sunday evening we went over to the Whitford's home to do some real trick or treating!

WE HAVE CANDY coming out of our ears!!!

Every morning Wyatt would ask how many parties are we going on today mom!

Here are my little sneaks in action, Wyatt got the candy bowl down but not gracefully.

Trevor and Sis getting ready for the party!

Thiriza and the kiddos!

Shannon , Thiriza and I went as Ballerinas to our Friends house for a Halloween party!

It was fun to dress up and get sparkly for the evening.

Trevor and Josh were "Step-brothers" and they definetly played the part!

hmm.. I believe this picture is to just really capture the wy and sis love! haha, those two always yelling at eachother but really are the best of friends.

Grandma Karol took the kiddos to pick out pumpkins at the patch. They both picked ones bigger then them. Papa and Grandma came over and helped us carve the pumpkins.

I snuck up on these two yawhos watching cartoons just snugglin !

Molly and Elvis, aren't they cute! Well most the time they are!

Molly is curled up INSIDE their Dog bowl :0

Although they are crazy most the time so glad to have them around!

Well November is here and the HOLIDAYS have begun! I am happy about that just can;t believe they are here already!

My goal.. ONLINE SHOPPING, get it done early and best prices, so I shall begin that trek!

Josh was gone hunting for a few weeks , got home right before halloween which was nice, he shot a 4 by 5 buck that he is proud of, although I don't really care how proud he is , it WONT be in the living room!

yes.. I TURNED 26 as well!

I had a awesome birthday getting to spend time with my Mama most of the day , the suprised by Thiriza and Shannon with mani and pedis and then a SUPRISE dinner with all the most amazing people in my life to celebrate! The day went from what I thought would just be a "nice" day to AMAZING! Thanks to Mom , Thiriza and Shannon for all of it!

26 on the other hand.. UGHHH! Seriously I swear I am like 23 ... NOPE on the DOWNHILL slope to 30! Well I guess I should be counting my blessings for how lucky I am at 26!'

Till Next week, yes I am keeping up on my goal!

This needs to continue......

2010-10-23T10:49:00.000-07:00

So I have decided that I suck at journals and I was doing really good for a while at updating our blog, so new goal.... UPDATE my blog Once a week, reguardless of what it may be update it! Second goal will to be printing it and putting it all in a book... I am sure someone will want to read it someday.. maybe?!? Hahah!

So rather then trying to go back months and months of all that I missed I figured I would just start fresh again, the thought of going back makes me NOT want to blog so today, October 23, 2010 it begins.

Wyat is 3 and Half... yes he is closer to 4 now and that just literally makes me almost tear to write! Why is my little boy growing so quickly! Preschool, Sleep Overs, Soccer teams, raod trips by himself with his grandparents!!! Not to mention that my son has the insane memory bank, he watches you do something once, from assembling a toy atv to where I would set something he remembers the exact spot! He is my little partner in crime loves working on projects inside and outside of the house. Still in love with Mickey Mouse Club House tv show and loves to shake his "budha" to all his favorite JAMS! He still loves coming to the shop and helping out on the forklift and checking in the parts! He is Mr. Hands on all the time, he loves to work on dirtbikes with his PA and moto around on his RZR.
Kamrynn Jade is 16 Months old and such a Miss Indepenent! Her favorite thing is definetly following Wyatt around yelling his name and copying his every move, shooting guns, playing cars, jumping off couches , you name it she isn't scard! It is crazy how different the two are, Wyatt was always good about staying close to me at work or when we were out and about not little Miss Kam Bam.. every other minute she can be found trying to sneak out to the back shop or running away from me as fast as she can at the store! I am in LOVE with my baby girls hair! Blessed with quite a bit from day one its is getting so long with these natural curls that when she has pig tails in its these perfect little ringlets! Most of the time she is a perfect little mess most of the time and her newly accuired budha belly is the best! She has gone from being a petite lil thing to staying pretty small to staying small with this adorable lil belly, its the cutest!!!

She is talking a bit normal stuff like mama, dada, papa, wyatt, dog, drink, and will usually copy things we say to her. I feel like the time with her has gone even faster then it did with Wyatt just cause we are double to busy but she is a good little snugglier when she feels like and I will take every moment possible.

I finally took the leap and made it official with health and fitness training. I am loving every minute of this new adventure in my life. I love working with my clients and actualyl seeing results and goals achieved and just being a part of it all. Thiriza and I tackled the training together because it is one of many things that we have in common and I see a bright future with it all. I am excited to learn more and it feels great to learn about something I seem to never get bored with!

Josh stays busy as ALWAYS! Construction has been hit or miss, its either crazy busy with work or a week or two with down time, but down time for Josh means he gets to focus even more on his other love... His Cows! He put it all out there recently with his cows to see if it would be something that could realyl work for us and he has been doing an amazing job with it. So he typically goes to a few sales a week to buy and sell cattle and right now has been planting a few fields for hay. It is now something that he can also take Wyatt along with him so it is great to see them bond over " their cows". Josh is currently Hunting in Idaho, for what seems to be FOREVER.. hehe, its only been like 8 days but he isnt planning on returning for another 10 , so needless to day he better get a GOOD buck and be ready to be on his best behavior when he returns :)

I recently was blessed with the opportunity to go down to Mexico for some amazing treatments for my lil buddy "r.arthritis" ... I have been feeling a million times better with the supplements and treatments that I was able to do down their with my doctor and so happy that I can say I feel Pretty GOOD! :0

Last but not least, Last weekend I was able to finish the Woman's Nike Marathon in SanFrancisco with some of my closest friends. Us girls headed down Saturday afternoon to kick off the race in downtown Union Square where Nike took over the city. It was an amazing experience and I am so happy that WE DID IT! Thiriza and I reached a whole new level of LOVE and ENDURANCE with one another as we trotted along for 26.2 miles of San Francisco's sights, Starting in down town, heading through the piers, up a Few BIG hills over to the Ocean Coast.

The rain started about mile 6 or 7 not to heavy but by the end we were definetly a hot mess and cold to the bone! I was a bit emotional towards the last 2 miles or so, seeing that the end was so near and I just felt this overwhelming "in awe" that we actually DID IT!!

Trevor and Mom were there at the finish to help us hobble back to the cars and warm up!

Shannon who rocked the 13.1 Half with us was there to bring us back to life and her support was amazing! I guess in life you have some of those defining moments and this was definetly one of them, it was clear who I was, what I could accomplish, who was just as important to me as I was to them and most importanly so grateful to my Heavenly Father for blessing me with a healthy body and strong will to get where I want to be.

So, Moral of the story, Life has been crazy busy BEAUTIFUL and I am glad to be living it everyday! I will be back again soon... within 7 days to maintian this new goal of mine!

Toodles!!!

6 lbs 3 oz 19.5 "

Beautiful baby girl is finally here!

We were blessed with a healthy baby and a "easy" delivery (no complications, I don't think its ever easy)!

Thursday, was just like any other 9 months prego day :)... woke up, elliptical (trying to make her wanna come out even more), went to work, where both parents

now claim they knew I was having a baby that night due to my burst of energy yet annoyed with the world attitude ! I had some pretty intense contractions throughout the day but there was no rhyme or reason to when they occur ed so I figured they might just of been some crazy braxton hicks. After work I headed home, wanting to work on the rest of my impulsive cleaning that I had made a list of and wanted to get everything crossed out! After getting after it till about 8:00 I was getting contractions on a more frequent basis.. still being a little unknowing if there were the real deal, I decided I would beautify myself with the long shower.. shaving legs, deep condition, and even one of those face mask washes. Wyatt and Josh got home a bit later from grandma's and after putting him to bed they were getting a little more intense and closer together ... so at about 10 I told Josh I think we are going to have a baby tonight... the look in his tired eyes was like... " are you sure.. tonight?" I told him I still wasn't sure so lets go to bed... where he fell asleep in like 5 seconds.. and I of course didn't. So I got up and then they started to hit... So to keep myself occupied I got on Facebook and took all those dumb tests trying to pass the time.. at this point they are about 10-12 mins apart... but I wanted to be sure and ready before I woke up Josh. I waited for about 1.5 till about 1:15 to wake up Josh.. when they were about 7 mins apart and told him.. it's happening!

So, we got all the junk ready around the house, changed, and called Kandy to come over to stay with Wyatt. By the time she came and we were ready we were at about 5 mins apart and it was about 2:15 am.

On the way to Kaiser we called my Mom and Josh told her to come ... I think he just wanted company, because we didn't know how soon it was going to happen yet.

After getting to Kaiser and doing all the dumb check in and even dumber questions , we were hooked up and monitoring, They checked me and to their sup rise I was at a 7.. so we got the party started and moved into labor room.. where I told them I did want and epidural.. and after their hesitation we did get to get it.. thankyou!!!

After about 20 mins she was ready to come on out and join us...

Dr. Klooster was the one to deliver her.. and we had some GREAT nurses.

After a few hours we moved into the WORSE room ever ... right by these sliding doors.. so sleep was out of the question.

Trevor, Sam , and Thiriza had gone to the cabin for the night.. so Sammy called pretty upset she had missed the night! ha, but oh well. They were all there in the morning to see how we were doing.

Jess and Kandy brought Wyatt up to the hospital where at first he was quite skid dish and unsure of it all, but he warmed up and gave his sissy some love.

We really were over this room we were in and wanted to try to just sneak out of their.. so after some persuasion we were able to leave the hospital that night and come home.. which I am so happy about. Kamrynn did pretty well her first night too.

She is 7 days old today.. and all our family can say is how she is def the smallest baby for all of us ... but she is eating well and growing to quickly.. I hate how fast this part all goes!

Wyatt is always asking what she is doing and why she is always sleeping. So far he seems to be liking being a big brother.

We are so blessed with wonderful Family and friends showing their love and support and even more blessed to have to beautiful kids!

Josh taking a nap! :)

~WYATT'S 2~

APRIL 4TH 2009

My BABY is Two years old! I still can't believe how fast time has flown by!

Saturday we were able to celebrate with some friends and family.. and of course the boy was soo spoiled! He loves to just play in the backyard so we just had a bunch of fun toys and him and his "riends"(friends) got after it all afternoon. He got a new scooter becuase he loves to ride them when he goes and plays with his friends... and he likes to yell "MOM mom watch me! "

We had been singing happy birthday to him all week so he sang along when everyone sang to him.He even Spit out his own candles! ha!
The buds all in the tent in the backyard!

His fan club.. haha jk! Beautiful girls that came help celebrate! Brit and Jamie.. watch out.. 2 comes way to fast!

Nauni(Jill was the best giving wy the scooter.. she scored a big kiss)

As you can see we had some helpers with the presents.. actually at one point Wyatt ran outside and didn't mind if the kids just went ahead and opened up his gifts for him.. he was to go play!

Aww Giving Aunt Rhea some love!

We are so blessed to have Wyatt's sweet spirit in our life. He learns and grows everyday and is quite the comedian. I am so lucky he choose me to be his mama!

Happy Birthday WY Man!

THE PARK

Wyatt and I spent some time at the park yesterday... for us "country folk"

this isn't a everyday thing :) He ran me ragged for a few hours becuase he wanted me to do everthing he did... which included climbing through the tunnel.. which I got stuck in.

I wish I could of took a picture of that!

Can you see him pointing to the ground telling me to get over here!?

It was pretty funny!
I love taking pictures from behind little ones.. especially like this.
Its Hilarious! He was rocking the boat.. but there little bums are just so cute!

He is pretty good on the swing can get his little body moving.

It was a good time and such a nice day! I thought that I would get him real tired at the park

and then we could drive home and he would be passed out.. YEAH right! Those types of plans

never seem to work.

Jammin

2009-03-04T10:24:00.000-08:00

Wyatt Learnin how to JAM!
As the night went on he starting getting crazy!

Whatever "PAPA" would sing or say Wyatt would copy him

in full song... as loud as possible! It seems that whatever by DAD touches or does Wyatt

becomes a complete fan. He would much rather spend his time with him then anyone else
including his parents.

Grandma and Wyatt

Grandma isnt too bad either :)

Josh and Wyatt after church. Josh is all slicked out

in his new suit! Wyatt was rockin' his crazy hair do for the day!

February Fun!

2009-02-12T15:41:00.000-08:00

Wyatt and I were having fun with my mac camera booth yesterday.. look at this little ham!

It was so cute he was dancing and making faces.
This age is defiently a little more difficult but soo much fun!!!

I love this one...

I also decided it was time to take a belly pic!

22 Weeks .. she is popping out quicker then Wy Man did.. which if you ask

Josh was making me crazy but hey what can I do about it! :)

I had a sonogram on tuesday, she was already incredibly stubborn and they were

a little worried about how LOW she is right now.. hopefully she will look UP and see that there is

more room for her! haha.

Mr Personality

2009-01-23T09:26:00.000-08:00

Wyatt Blevins

I have to say his little personality is comming out more and more each day!

Not to mention his wide variety of vocab these days.. there is no doubt that he knows everything we are saying and doesn't have any problem expressing his thoughts and needs.

He is still growing like a weed and is becomming very indepenent as long as you are still in the room. He doesn't want help but wants you to be there watching. "watch me" is what he says!

He is big enough now to help Josh feed the cows and do that kind of stuff and totally digs it.

In the morning when he gets to go with him he runs to get his shoes and tells me bye bye a million times way before they are leaving. Like see mom I am big enough!

As you can see he enjoys doing whatever we are.. he gots his own controller :)

Things get a little crazy at the shop now days. He is constantly on the go, from driving his quad, to making you sit in the ranger with your seatbelt on with him, to dirving the forklift with Grandpa he is constantly running around. Him and My dad definetly are true buds which is great to watch. I have no doubt that Wy will be into anything with a motor as he practices almost everyday. He now even gets kind of gutsy standing up and jumping! :)
It is so fun to see him become his own little person!
What can I say I am an obsessed MOM!

Girls Night

2009-01-23T08:57:00.000-08:00

GIRLS NIGHT

The other weekend we had a little Girls Night that turned out really fun! :)

Mukinis was the place of choice for dinner and we (well me) thoroughly got down on some sushi.. don't FREAK it was the cooked stuff! After dinner we decided to see that movie

BRIDE WARS... it was HILARIOUS! Strongly reccommend seeing it!

Well... I am a complete genius and not only checking once but TWICE decided the movie was showing at the UA in Laguna.. and already being late we all jammed over there.

Well... it was playing at the Century :) ... but luckily we made it in time to miss the previews and nothing else important. I now have been sending random text quotes from the movie ...

it seriously was hilarious!

Anyways.. it wasn't a wild and crazy late night but it was fun to see everyone and just chill!

And hey with these gorgeous woman I would go anywhere :)

Shannon and Jill

Jill, Karrin and Katti

I am showing off my sprouts??

Jamie and Stacey (dont look related at all)

The Name game...

2009-01-12T12:17:00.000-08:00

The name game... it is sooo hard for Josh and I.... seeing how Wyatt didn't become wyatt till they were wanting to push us out of the hospital! I want to attempt to be more prepared this time around.. but it is soo hard. My goal is to have like three or four names that we both like (WHICH IS HARD FOR US) . Sammy compiled a cute LONG list of names she approves of .. it was cute.

A name is just so important you know... So if anyone has some suggestions we would love to hear them! Then maybe we will just put them on a list close our eyes and point! :)

I have to admit though now knowing it is a girl sure helps you focus a little bit..

If all else fails though we will just see her little face and hopefully figure it out.. becuase I dont think they let you go home being baby GIRL BLEVINS.

Christmas ..... a little late!

2009-01-09T15:36:00.000-08:00

CHRISTMAS TIME FUN!

So.. I am a little late getting these done but oh well. This year we decided it would be fun
to be a little creative and FESTIVE for a holiday get together. It was christmas outfits at their finest. Bold sweaters, onsie PJS, hats, ELFS, antlers... we saw it all! Besides are cool outfits we decided to have a white elephant gift exchange.. where anything went. I seriosuly laughed for an hour straight while person after person recieved HILARIOUS RANDOM gifts.
Jamie V. got Jordie's present that was a bag full of everyting that he had left in his room after he went to college.. VERY INTERESTINg and there was seriosuly like 1 million present.

Other presents wereHUGE underwear, garbage pickerupers, used candles, rzrs, naked lady aprons, and so much more! It was a good time!

Shannon did you pick those out??

Oh.. I guess they were Ryan's!

Jamies Random Present

Notice my cool vest! Oh and Jamies sweater actually LIT up!

Drew and the PJ ladies!

Buddy... and his lovely lady!

Jill and Shenell looking festive! Nice CATS on your sweater!

FAMILY

For Christmas this year we made our normal rounds.

Christmas Eve dinner at the Blevins with all the family! Then rush off

to go CAROLLING with KAROL.. we give her a hard time but its fun.
We all have jobs of a certain goodie and then we go sing and deliver them.

Santa usually joins us...
which wyatt really didnt like, but once he got to know who was under the suit it wasn't too bad.

Christmas moring Santa came to see wyatt at about 6:00 am .. and then we were off

to the Blevins to start the un wrapping :) After all the goodies we got there

we went to Messersmith casa for some breakfast and presents.

By this time.. its like 10:00 am and I am like ready for a nap.. ha but we didnt.

This year we actually went to the movies and saw 7 pounds( good movie)

Then ended the day with MORE eating !

We are so lucky to have family around us .. I do miss going to Idaho a bit.. since we did it my entire life till I was 21.. but it is nice to start are own traditions!

Wyatt's new tool set from Sammy!

Ladies in PINK.. kind of looking frightful!

Preparing the goodies!

Getting ready for caroling in his jammies~

Santa and Wy

Mama and her new purse!

Yeah for cute GIRL stuff!

2009-01-06T13:25:00.000-08:00

Got to take a sneak peek at the little bun in the oven today and YES it's a GIRL!!!!

She looks healthy and happy! Josh was hilarious to watch when they told us it was a girl, but he

said when he walked into Baby's Debut Imaging... he just knew they were going to say GIRL!

She was very cooperative and were able to see clearly GIRL no problem.

So now... darn it ... I need to go shopping for FUN stuff! I will no longer be shoved in the back corner of clothing stores where there is only like 5 different color of plaid shirts.. hahha! Wyatt will have a little sister to watch over and protect, he is such a lover I think its perfect. Now only have to wait to see her on the big day! ... which seems so far away. Why are we PREGO for so long.. I even didnt tell anyone for a while this time and it still seems to not go fast enough... although I should admit that having Wyatt already here makes it go a bit faster being on the run already...

So.. YEAH for GIRLS!!!

Run to Feed the HUngry!

2008-12-03T16:31:00.000-08:00

2008 Run to Feed the HungryThis year was another fun time thanksgiving morning! I think there were about

28,000 people who joined in for the run! Team Cal Custom had a good turn out as well

unfortunetly.. our team pic isnt back yet but there were ALOT of us! Some people did the 5k and some the 10k! Its a good way to support the community and and even BETTER way to have a guilt free turkey dinner! :)

Jenna And Jill Representing with our sign!

Wyatt joined the race as well. His Grandma KANDY was a Soldier.. I ran the 10K so she took over with wyatt and he decided before the race started that he didnt want to be in his stroller anymore.. so she held him and walked the 3 miles!! Can you believe that! This mama would of forced him into the stroller and tied him down! She is AMAZING!

This was us after the race.. being all tuff and stuff!

Good times, we got great donations!

3YEAR ANNINVERSARY SUPRISE!

2008-11-25T16:24:00.000-08:00

-NOVEMBER 25TH, 2005 -

MR. AND MRS. BLEVINS

It was the day after thanksgiving when we tied the knot 3 years ago.. wow has the time flown by! I know it hasnt been that long but it seems like so much has happened in our lives since that day! I am sure its like this for everyone but it seems like your wedding day comes and goes so quickly .. yet I can remember it like it was yesterday! One of the greatest days of my life (second to the wy mans bday) We are so blessed to have what we have!

So... For our anniversary this year I had a SUPRISE for Josh and wanted to do something fun, I decided on a scavenger hunt! I dont have pictures of all the stops he made.. some were so increidbly CORNY.. but the pictures will tell the story!

# 1 - Was just some essentials, He needed some new jeans.. I thought my saying was pretty funny though! (read Below)

Stop #2 was at Quiggle (Blevins Home) .. Where I got him a shiny new Pitch fork...

The Third stop- no pictures.. it was at his all time favorite store... The Herald Store.. Where I loaded him up with 880 OZ of Dr. Pepper pre paid - 20 - 44 ouncers!

Then.. He had to rush home for the BIG SUPRISE... when he arrived he asked where his new tractor was.. he was dreaming big time. He tells me now he seriously had NO CLUE what the suprise would be!

Yep.. SUPRISE! I am Pregnant with #2! It probably was on of the hardest things to do keeping it a secret for soo LONG.. but it was totally worth it seeing his reaction yesterday!

I am just relieved I now longer have to hide my puking .. or make up excuses of why I have been so sick! We are due in June!

Wyatt.. Big Brother.. :)

MOM!... I WAN SUM!

2008-11-11T11:10:00.000-08:00

Wyatt has made a step in to SENTENCES! He is getting more and more vocab out of his little mouth but we have now began full sentences and he is pretty dang loud about it. His FIRST sentence is MOM.. I WAN SUM! ... he doesn't just say it once or even twice.. he continues to say it thoughout the day even if there isn't anything to have SUM of ! :) Not suprising that my kids first sentence is about food... there is no denying that he loves to eat! ha! He continues to bless our lives with laughs and joy ... and he is starting to enjoy snuggling too, which makes you feel so good!

Pismo Trip

2008-11-08T10:10:00.000-08:00

Halloween Weekend Pismo Trip

We loaded up the quads and my parents took their motorhome on halloween

weekend and went dow to Cal POLY and Pismo for the weekend. Trevor was playing

vs Cal Poly so it was a good excuse to take the quads to the sand. The Weisz's, NIzzolis,

Silva's, Newell's, Katti and Jill, and Jesse came down with us! It was quite a crowd and a ton of fun! It was great weather friday and saturday for riding on th beach and we go to put the RZR to the test ! Karol even rolled it on its side.. but shh dont tell! The of course beautiful day all day on saturday but at about 6:05 pm 5 mins after kickoff the rain poured down. We all got in our garbage bags and cheered through the rain. It still was a good time ! Trevor played awesome as always.. which was fun becuase so many people were there to support him.

Weekend trips like that are so fun just enough to get away from it all and have a good time!

Josh made his own digsusting seaweed lay!
Us girls trying to keep warm at the game.

Riding on the beach

Wyatt had an aboslute blast in the sand and riding in the ranger.

We just strapped his carseat in and let him ride along!

Josh also let him steer all around our little campsite. He was in heaven.

Cute lil Family Picture!

Mama is GREAT!

2008-11-04T09:53:00.000-08:00

Just a little update on my mom's surgery today... it went GREAT! The tumor is benign and the doctor was able to do a smaller incession! He expects a quick recovery and was extremely happy with how everything went! I am so thankful for all of your love and prayers! I am so greatful to my Heavenly Father watching and protecting our family. My mom is the center of our family , so strong and loving , it has been hard to see her worry so much and I am just so thankful everything worked in our favor. lOVE YOU MOM!

Wyatts new POLARIS!

2008-10-21T12:40:00.000-07:00

WYATT'S NEW POLARIS RZR

Yes Wyatt officially has his own polaris and he started screaming

he was so excited! He found the GAS pedal and it was on!

It looks so real its ridiculous! Seat belts,roll bar, lights.
He would stop and wave to people as he drove by!
He needs help with the steering, gets a little distracted.

He also attempted to run over his grandpa.

I sometimes think how sad it is how fast he is growing up, but moments like these are so much fun to see him a BIG BOY!

25th Anniversary Party

2008-10-18T14:16:00.000-07:00

Russ & Kandy Blevins October 15th, 1983

Last night we were able to pull off a GREAT SUPRISE for Josh's parents with our friends

and family celebrating their 25th Wedding Anniversary!

We held a dinner at Lodi Feed and Fuel where they where able to walk in to tables full of their friends and family! Russ was incredibly suprised, just glad he didn't bolt for the doors! :)

Everyone was so helpful and generous in helping with the dinner as well as our gift to them of sending them to a night at Wine and Roses Hotel! They are such great parents and examples to us and are always willing to do anything to serve others!

We love you guys!

Here are the Love birds on their wedding day!

The cake...(sweet creations always the BEST)

Wyatt seemed to enjoy the cake!

Fall Fun

2008-10-10T08:52:00.000-07:00

The HOLT Arena!

Last weekend we all traveled to "Pokey"

to watch Trev play at home in the Holt Arena.

It is actually a really cool arena. It is completely inside turf field which makes it so enjoyable to watch becasue you are nice and warm without the sun blaring in your face or rain comming down during the game.

It was a great game to watch and Trev had a pretty good fan clan with all the family from Twin Falls comming to watch as well. He had some great plays and catches. Living the Dream... :) We got to go see where he lived.. and got a good laugh because when we pulled up they had had some visitors the night before from the Toilet Paper Fairies.. what sucked more it has rained ... so it was wet and everywhere. From what Trevor says they got the girls back ten times worse.. with 10,000 tooth picks, more toilet paper, and red field paint???

Pumpkin Patch Trip

Wednesday We took Wyatt for his first trip to the Pumpkin Patch! It was pretty amuzing! We did the hay ride, and corn maze, and took alot of pictures.... but we were too CHEAP to buy any of the pumpkins there! We paid for the admission to get it.. but all the good pumpkins were like 20 BUCKS! So we got wyatt a lil pumpkin with one of the "pumpkin bucks" we had left and made our way to Raley's were they have GOOD pumpkins for the 5 BUcks! :) We could still get away with this cause Wy man has no clue! But geeze, it was craziness!

Poor Wyatt we made hime Pose all day! :)

Little Stinker!

2008-09-27T09:15:00.000-07:00

My little STINKER!

So I saw this costume and just couldn't stop laughing.. so being such a nice mom I bought it for Wy man! It was a bit of a struggle to get him in it.. be wasnt going for the hood, but once we go it done ... it was hilarious! He is standing by his pumpkin his Grandma Kandy grew for him with his name on it!

The heart on his little bum says "litle stinker"! Gotta love it!

Busy little BOY!

2008-09-25T13:12:00.000-07:00

WYATT MANIA

Wyatt is a few days away from officially being 1 1/2 and he is definetly getting a little crazy!He was REALLY vacumning at work today! He would turn it on and off and move it everywherearound the office! Holding the cord and moving the chairs around. Working with him used to beso easy... he would just stay right by me.. but as you see below he is a moving and a groovin now days! It is a ton of fun to watch him explore everything .... at the same time hard to get a dang thing done.. but hey now I understand what all these mamas were talking about! My parents managed to run the shop with all three of us running around.. but in my defense they both say that we used to play with toys... and Wy Man wants nothing to do with toys.. only ADULT things will do for him! How blessed I am to have Wyatt show me things I would never pay any attention to.. like the old gum under the desks, the mouse traps hidden in the corners, the old candy stuck in the candy machines... he finds me so many little treasures! :)

Help MOM I am STUCK in the TIRES!

He REALLY turned it on and everything! :)

This is Wyatt's Quad at the shop! He plays on it and makes the noises!

My SAMMY BOO!

SAMANTHA JADE ...ALL GOWN UP!

My baby sister is officially all grown up and leaving! She is on her way to SEATTLE U where she will be making a name for herself on the basketball court! I am so proud of all her accomplishments and the person she is aspiring to be. I admire her in so many ways, her stong personality, her ability to speak her mind, her caring heart, her amazing blond hair and gorgeous smile, this blog could go on for miles! :) I still look at her and see little baby cave woman "mantha" with her cute little cheeks, her daily pigtails that should would pull on when she got angry, her adorable chubby little feet and her non stop energy that you couldnt stop make you smile! I am pretty sure she is glad that she isnt still running around in her pigtails but she is still so energetic and thats what so many people love about her! She is a GREAT auntie to Wyatt and even though she thinks he won't remeber her.. how could he not! He lights up when she comes over and love playing chase with her! She is the baby of the family without a DOUBT... and she knows it too! She has a way of brining our family close together without even knowing it. On the basketball court she is a true star and has worked so hard to improve herself. She has natural talent and speed and she will be a true competitor in D-1! I will miss my sammy boo probably way too much, but thankgoodness for the world of texting becuase we like to send eachother random hilarious texts to brighten the days! :) Luckily we will get to see her semi often going to as many games as we can!

I know Sam has touched many peoples lives and has grown into such a wonderful person!

Love you!

Little Bits of this and that!

This is the Messersmith CREW! We all got together for Trevor's game! I love my family, there are alot of us but it makes it so much more fun! Thanks to everyone for making the effort to get together!

Little Update on Trevor ... He scored a Touchdown last weekend Vs. Idaho... Pretty cool. He is doing great at ISU, if you want to check out his schedule and see if you can catch a game on TV .. www.isubengals.com

Its so weird to watch him play out there... you would never believe I use to whoop his butt! :)

Sammy, Mom, and I grabbed my grandparents bikes when were visiting and took them for a spin! I love hanging out with my girls, always a blast and never spare air to talk! ha!
So... Wyatt wanted to go in the suitcase too! This was before him and I took our brave journey to Idaho! He did really well on the plane rides and although he will not take naps when we are away he was happy the whole trip which made it really enjoyable! He is getting so big!
So , these are the pictures you save for slideshows:) He loves SHOES, always going in my closet and pulling them out! 18 months has already passed, he continues to rock the charts for growth which makes me happy! I just love being WY mans mama!

Jamie and Jon WHITFORD were married on Sept 6th at Wine and Roses in Lodi! It was an AMAZING wedding ceremony done by their family friend Randy Barnes, a true personal touch. The Wedding Singers that sang when Jamie the BEAUTIFUL bride came down the aisle were breathtaking! Then when the I DO's were finalled and they were officially WHITFORDS they took everyone by suprise when they BOOGIED down the aisle followed by all of us to " SEXY BACK" .... it was soooo THEM! After picutures and hanging out in the awesome bridal suite we each made our own little unique entrance .. which was also a ton of fun and Jamie and Jon Once again through the crowd for a loop when they began their frist dance to "Cross my HEART" and ended it with a cute routine they had made up!

The reception Hall was gorgeously decorated perfectly to match Jamie's colors and our bridemaids dresses! It was very classy! :)

Jamie and Jon also through us for a loop when they gave the entire wedding party white DVS shoes to wear so we could really get our boogie on! :) Needless to say we got our boogie on all night on... the Stigelmayer/Whitfords threw a heck of a party!

I was NOT planning on giving a toast.. but got nominated by the other girls who quickly backed away.. but it turned out all right.. You can never go wrog by just making fun of the couple :)! ha! Thanks so much for the good times and lettting us be a part of you special day! WE LOVE you WHITFORDS!

Sept 12th 2008~ The Dixon Wedding

Last night we were lucky enought to attend Christy and Jarred's Wedding in Lodi, CA at beautiful setting right on the lake. It was a gorgeous outside wedding with hints of yellow and brown for decorations! Chirsty's Dress was gorgeous and fit her perfectly.. vintage! After their ceremony we travelled over to Hutchins street square to get the party started! :0 Christy's family is from the Farroh Islands(im Sure I spelt that wrong) .. So she had many family memeber there which was so cool to see, and I LOVE their accents! The food was GREAT, we got to see alot of people we haven't seen since high school (6 years now crazy), Christy and Jarred are such a great couple! It was cool Christy's grandfather wasnt able to fly over here so he wrote her a very heartfelt and such a nice memory for her to have! They also played thi slittle game with the couple where they had to answer qestions with signs, it was quite entertaining!

Also while we were driving to the wedding Josh and I realized this was one the first weddings in a while where we went together as a couple.. kind of fun! Kevin and Tammy Baroni came with us... and they are a hoot (such a funny word) ! Good times!!

As mentioned in one of my other ramblings Josh and I split up for the weekend Aug 30th so we could make it to 3 different weddings! Tyler and Bailee Mockridge, Shelby and Anothony Bills, and Rachelle and SHelby Williams! All three were so unique and gorgeous! I have a few pictures of theres as well. Rachell and Shelby are both my cousins anf Tyler is one of Josh's closest friends in Oregon. We love you all!!!

Rachelle and Shelby - Twin Falls Temple!

Shelby and Anthony Bills!

FUN IN THE SUN! :)

" Pink Party Girlies :)
Sammy and I on formal night.. I swear I am the more mature one!

" How I made it thru"

Summer is flying on by .... We are doing the same ole same ole.. Last weekend Sammy went with me on a cruise for girl Jamies Bachlorett party and it was an absolute blast. 17 girls went and I dont think there was a dull moment.. the other passengers definetly felt our presence :). We all wore Pink shirts that we got made on our flight there and on the first day and I planned some pretty amuzing scavenger hunts that we played on the boat and on the plane! I think Jamie had a great time as her last horrah and it was fun to go on a trip with my little sister before she leaves me to seattle!.. the only downer was since we have gotten back a majority of the girls that went on the trip including ME have gotten hit hard with the summer flu, I dont remember the last time I had felt so horrid. But , life must go on!

Wyatt is a whopping 17 months and when we took our little trip to te doctor he is registering off the charts in the 125%! ... His head is the biggest :) but his height and weight follow so he is doing good. He is getting faster and faster these days too ... especially getting out of the bath or when you want to change his diaper..its pretty hilarious. This past weekend he took a little trip with Gma Kandy to Mt Shasta to visit The Great Grandma's and the mockridges. I know he had a good time becuase he slept very well the night he came home.

This weekend Josh will be heading to Bonanza for Tyler M's wedding and Wyatt and I will be flying to Idaho for my cousins rachelle's wedding, Trevor;s boise state game, and my cousin Shelby's wedding reception. It will be fun to get to see everyone, and even better since Wy and I aren't driving!

Work is stillg going good, staying busy. Really been focusing on Internet Advertising which takes up most of my time, but seems to be the only thing that pays off.

** A customer came in the other day and asked is I was the " Craigslist Karrin "... I thought that was amusing. Josh has been staying busy with all sorts of different jobs, he is always running around crazy and then pretending to be a farmer on the side :).

This is the New RZR... its the big CRAZE at work... you should check it out they are awesome!

I never really realized how fast time goes until the past 2 years with having wyatt. It really puts things in perspective for you, and how special all these moments are in our lives. I feel even older to think Trevor hows now officially passed me in college... haha... and willbe graduating this year and Sammy Starting her Freshmen year. I am exceited to get to see them both play this year.

Boating Day

2008-07-11T13:19:00.001-07:00

DAY ON THE DELTA

This summer so far we have gotten to do two days out on the delta.. Both trips "All Girls" except the second triP Josh got lucky and got to come! There is nothing better then spending the day on the boat just goofing around! This last time we got brave and jumped off the bridge! It was fun..! Shauna and I also did a little duo wakeboarding. I know you can see my mad air .. I am going pro soon! :) Summer has been great so far despite the nasty weather! ... Fourth of july we took a little trip up to clearlake for the weekend.. and saw BOSTON and STIX in concert.. My Dad loved it! The lake is really pretty but not the best boarding.. it was like an ocean. Wyatt's first time in the boat.. he loved it. Grandpa let him drive of course. These next couple of weeks will be busy with trips to Idaho, Vegas, Mexico and whatever else comes our way!

Where does the time go!

2008-06-05T16:41:00.000-07:00

Wow it has been a while since I got to update this! Time flies, Wyatt is strutting his stuff all over the place ! He bobbles everywhere and is quite entertaing not to mention completely in charge. We had his big FIRST birthday party which was a blast! All of our family and friends came over to celebrate and Wy was great entertainment with his brithday cake. Spoiled as always as well.

He has now gotten TWO hair cuts... he looks so much older with his hair cut like a little boy, but not that I am bias he is absolutly Adorable. He blabbers all day... but does say mama, dada, YES, and some other maybe words if you twist them to what you want to hear :). He says YES to almost everything though. He is still comming to work with me most days of the week, but spends two days with Tammy whom he loves to play with her and her two kids. Its really worked out great. He spends ample time with his grandmas as well. I just can;t believe he is so grown up. Lets see what else, well Trev finished another year at ISU so now he has his Senior season which will be awesome. MY BABY sister sammy graduated... Its really so strange. Yes she is all grown up on her way to Seattle University where she will be tearing up the court. I am really going to miss having that blonde around. This Summer so far we have watched sam do her last FFA lamb and Josh made his dream by bidding and buying a few things at the auction. He had fun doing that. Jesse sold her first steer... Josh loved that too! I got a new calling at church which makes me feel old.. but it has been fun. I am in Young Womans teaching the 14-15 year old girls... they are way cute. Work has been crazy like always, I love working with my family.. the good and the bad.. :) its a great place for me. Even when I start thinking If there is something else I should be doing I look around and really enjoy being Trailer trash.. hahah!

This summer will be busy hopefully with a trip to Idaho, Oregon for Tyler M. wedding, possibly a visit to Utah to visit Carly and Jimmy. ( We had so much fun when they came to visit last month! ) Also Jamie and Jon are getting married soon and I am lucky enough to be apart of there big day... so that will be fun! Us girls are taking a little cruise to MExico to send Jamie out with a bang. Josh recently went to Orgeon to Squek Hunt.. yeah still dont know what they are but he went for 5 days and had a ton of fun.

Looking forward to some wakeboarding and hopefully a few visits to my Parents cabin.

Wyatt keeps us all busy and is learning so much everyday! This week he is doing his first swim lessons... got to love it. He is actually doing pretty good, not scard of the water.

Well I think that is a quick ... although I am sure seemed long catch up. Busy busy busy, but all good things! I am going to keep this better update so I wont have to write a novel next time!

I would love to know how others are doing who dont have a blog... so get one! :)

love all.

Wyatt is ALMOST one!!

2008-03-17T16:53:00.000-07:00

Is it seriously almost April! Has it really been almost a year since Wyatt has rocked our world!

I can't believe it... Time has just flown by. I know everyone tells you that over and over how fast time goes but you just don't get it tell it happens. Not to mention he has looked over one since he was about 7 months :) ... He is on the verge of walking.. pulling himself up on everything and walking around things he can hold on to. He has been wearing 18 months clothes for a couple of months now.... and he is so animated. Always blabbing away .. it is the best when he is at work with me and chases the customers around the showroom yelling at them and throwing his hands in the air. I haven't found a food that he doesnt like yet ... So I don' t think he will be too picky of an eater. He yells mamama and dadadad but I told Josh it doesn't count yet until he knows what he is saying. He loves sitting with or on anything will a steering wheel or quad.. he will sit on them for hours just bouncing up and down. I would have to say he is the most amazing thing that has happened to Josh and I and really gives me that feeling of being honestly HAPPy every moment I get to spend with him.. not that they are all amazing!

Soo... what have we been up to? Well WORK mostly... so happy for the time change, I love not having to leave work and it already be dark. Josh has been extremely busy with work and his work hobby the cows! He is building a whole new facility for the cows and loves doing it. Not to mention hanging out with us and helping every body he knows :) he is good at that. I have found a new love for kick boxing.. I try to take 2-3 classes a week.. its a good time and a great work out .. the best becuase its fun and you dont even thinking about burning the calories :). We have been busy hanging out with the family and going out occasionally with our friends.. we have a great babysitters:) the gma's and thats such a nice thing. This weekend we moved on with allt he little baby stuff... and man was there a ton of it.. wrapped it up for the next one... and NO we dont know when that is yet :) ! Looking forward to summer time. Oh.. forgot to mention we have had a few good weekends or mid week days going to my parents cabin snowboarding or snowmobiling.. the snow has been great this year.

Life is busy.. but whose isn't!! I put the most recent pictures we got taken of wy.. 11 months!

His big bday party will be ina couple weeks where he gets to tear into his own cake.. that should be fun!

Christmas and more!

2007-12-29T10:35:00.000-08:00

Josh and Wyatt seeding the fields!
Trying to get some good christmas pics of the boy!

He loves to play patty cake!!

Wow Christmas has come and gone! How amazing is that! Wyatt experience his first christmas of running from house to house... and I think all three of us are just TIRED! :) But we had an amazing christmas and are so blessed to have such wonderful families who SPOIL the heck out of us..... This year we decided to have a little Holiday party.. but I am married to Josh so something little... turns out pretty big! " All Wrapped up" was the theme and we invited some of our friends to dress up in their formal attire and spread a little christmas cheer with us! The party was held in our new shop... and Josh went all out by making an actual DANCE floor with that lino wood flooring and covered the rest of it with green astro turf... it was pretty awesome! We had a picture booth where SANTA (Im sure you cant guess who he was) got his picture taken with most of the couples. We ate and danced the night away... it was similar to the HS winter formal :) but it was an awesome time.

All dressed up at the big party! :)

Christmas came and went rather quickly ... christmas eve was spent half the day at work and then we had a little company potluck and then Josh and I rushed into elk grove to do some last minute shopping... boy was the ridiculous... but poor Wyatt wasnt going to have many gifts from his parents.. not that he needed them! We were on our way home before making our way over to the Blevins house for dinner but Josh said he wanted to stop at home first... so we ran inside and I was doing whatever in the kitchen when I notice a little sign on our bedroom door that said Merry Christmas love Josh and Wyatt! What a great suprise Josh and re arranged our entire room and had gotten a new bedroom set with the BEST Part was a new CALIFORNIA KING bed! ... we had been sharing a Queen bed and let me tell you how amzing this new bed is! The space in unbelievable! Josh did an AWESOME job for christmas!!!

Christmas morning we scooted off to my moms house at about 6:45 AM to start the un wrapping! Santa was good to everyone this year ... especially Wyatt who really just loved the wrapping paper and boxes. He had his own little santa suit to wear! Grandma Wanda And Pa Jim stayed at our house over the holiday and they spoiled him with the little outfit and gave him so much love and attention! it was great to spend some time with them... and they also told us some awesome news in their life.. they have decided to be baptized into the LDS church and we are so excited for them both!!!

Josh scored on christmas with his new roping dummy he got. He says the best part was the fact that my dad and trevor were so jealous and wanted to play with his toy! :) After visiting at my parents we made our way over to Russ and Kandy's house where we were as usual spoiled some more! :) We all exchanged gifts and of course ate some more good food! Now after visiting both of our families houses I dont even know how the Ford made it down the road it was so loaded down with such great presents ! The rest of the day we spent veggin out and taking it easy!

The next week was back to work to finish off 2007! For new years we were able to go with my family up to their Kirkwood house for some new years fun and hitting the slopes! Snowboarding FELT SOOO GOOOD! I hadnt got to go last year due to the little man being in the belly so it felt great to get out there again! Josh returned to slopes after retiring since he was in 8th grade.. and suprisingly he did extremely well... he was a tad bit sore the next day but kept up with the crew rather well! The day before we had went snowmobiling and the best part of that was after we were all done riding, sammy, Becca, and I got on the world oldest plastic sled and let my dad pull up behind the snow mobile! It was hilarious and painful! Needless to say our bums were a bit sore!

2007 was an awesome year for us and hope that we continue to be so blessed!

Thanksgiving/ RUN too!

2007-11-23T08:44:00.000-08:00

Well, Thanksgiving was GREAT! Food, Family, and Fun which is what its al about right! This year I decided I wanted to do something different .... and to drive Josh CRAZY! :) SO we had a team in the Sacramento Run To Feed The Hungry. I heard on the radio this morning there were over 20,000 people who attended and raised over 600,000 $ in donations! :) Our team " CAL CUSTOM" had 21 people on it ! Some of us ran the 5K and some the 10K! It was a ton of fun... except for maybe the end when Josh had to run some people over with Wyatt's stroller! Sammy boo and I went for it in the 10K .. and it was hard but totally worth it! Sammy is just such a stud muffin.. Im glad I could keep up! :)

We ate some delicious turkey dinner at my mama's house with the whole Fam! Grandma T cooked up some yummy salads and Trevor and I conquered the devil EGGS... which honestly are the best thing ever! After stuffing ourselves we borwsed over the 5 pound paper.. that as you can see WYATT enjoyed ! Relaxed and took it easy! I just can't believe that its already HOLIDAY season.. There is christmas music all over the radio.. Wyatt is almost 8 months old.. his very first christmas. Where does the time go? We are just so blessed to have such great family and friends to spend our time with even though it goes by so quickly! Well I better join the troops and start scowering for some good xmas sales! :) Hope everyone had a wonderful Turkey day!

2007-11-09T13:42:00.000-08:00

Halloween has come and gone but it was so much fun! Our Halloween extravaganza was quite a good time! Probably around 100 people came to the festivities... and played all the carnival games, went on hay rides, ate the good food! It was a ton of fun.. I LOVE HALLOWEEN! :)

Wyatt was superman on actual Halloween night but during the party.. that he slept 3 hours of it... he was a little camo hunter! It was adorable.. Josh got him a gun and we made him a little holder for it! Josh and I were Viking people.. not too original but it worked! The following day was my 23rd birthday, So after church we all went over to my mamas where she cooked up a nice dinner. Josh Grandparents were down visiting with us during the great weekend , they had some awesome costumes as well! Wyatt is now 7 months old.. I cant believe how much he is growing. He is becomming quite strong, jumping all around and reaching for everything! As you can see we got him his own dollar tree cell phone... so ours can stopped getting drooled on. At his last doctor visit he was 30" long and 23 pounds! He is staying strong in that over 100%! He loves all the new foods he is getting to try.. except peas.. those were a no go! Josh is staying really busy with work.. big conctractor that he is these days.. the other day he told me he was going to get an office and a bunch of secretaries... hes deaming! ha! Wyatt still comes with me to work most days and trades off the other time between his grannies and a family friend Tammy! He loves Tammy and her kids! Thanksgiving is comming up and I decided to put a little team together for The run to feed the hungry! Team California Custom! It should be fun and it s for a good cause.. our team is rasing 1000$ donation, and hey its a good way to burn some calories before we chow down on the turkey dinner. Last but definetly not least... November 25th .. Will be Josh and mine 2 Year anniversay!! We might get crazy and like go to the movies or something! :)

HAS IT REALLY BEEN 6 MONTHS SINCE WYATT JOINED US, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. HE IS GROWING AND IS ACTIVE AS EVER... THE PAST TWO WEEKS HE HAS REALLY BEEN WORKING ON BREAKING THROUGH A FEW TEETH... ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING GOES STRAIGHT TO THE MOUTH. SITTING HAS BECOME NO PROBLEM.. HE IS MR. INDEPENDENT! I CAN ALREADY SEE HIS OWN LITTLE PERSONALITY COMMING OUT IN HIM... AND I CAN TELL ITS GOING TO BE THAT HE CAN DO IT ALL ON HIS OWN! HE LOOKS MORE AND MORE LIKE HIS DADDY EVERYDAY AND IS MEASURING OFF THE CHARTS IN WEIGHT AND HEIGHT! I HAVENT FOUND A FOOD THAT HE DOESNT LIKE YET... WE ARE GOING TO GO TO THE PUMPKIN PATCH THIS WEEK AND WILL BE SURE TO POST SOME PICS OF WYATTS FIRST PUMPKIN!
