NEW Year's RESOLUTION!!!

2010-01-02T23:21:00.005-07:00

This year is going to be great for me. I am going to be done with school and going to start making the bigger bucks. I plan to take McCall to DisneyLand. Gotta love the disney princesses. This is such a fun age. I really cant wait for it all... and yet I can because the time goes too fast. I hope to expand our family size (and no I am not pregnant). Last but not least my resolution is to share more on my blog this year. I was going through the camera and found pictures from Halloween of 2008 still on their. That is pretty bad. Well I intend to update you all soon. So take a look back in about a week or so, I promise. Thanks for caring.

What do you want to be for Halloween?

Most mothers think of their little girls as being girly things for halloween. Now not all mothers but most! My little bug wants to be a different sort of creature this years event.

This year she wishes to be SCOOBY DOO!

~FLORIDA~

2009-05-16T00:29:00.019-06:00

This last week we took a little VaCaTIoN! Tyler had a business trip scheduled for the week of Mothers day. It was a last minute trip since they have been laying on many people at his place of work. We are grateful that he still has a job. When he told be the day that he was expecting to leave I was a little disapointed due to that fact that it was Mothers day. So instead just because my luck was that I already had the days off from work being that my schedule fell just into place and it worked out perfect with school... We decided to take the trip with him. So off we went to FLORIDA. We left bright and early mothers day morning. We would have left the day before but we did not want to pay extra for the hotel and the rental car. They were already covered for the week for his work. We wanted to make the trip as inexpensive as possible. Florida is not cheap to fly to and it gets even more pricey when you have to pay for a child to fly as well. We landed in Florida around 4:30pm so we went and got checked into the hotel and went to look for some food since we were of course starving since they dont feed you on the airplanes any more even though you are on them for over 3 hours and pay an arm and a leg to get where you are going. We drove around for about an hour just trying to familiarize ourselves with where we were and looking for something that would be special on MoThER's DaY. We drove past some really good places directly on the beach but we where hungry and wanted something sooner so we found this place that was not super great but it worked.

Pinchers CRAB SHACK One of the things we did notice was that we waited for ever in all the places that we ate. Service was horible. Nothing wrong with the food just the wait at the table you would always be wondering where your food was and where your waiter went but the reseraunt did not even have that many people in it.

We walked down the beach but did not get any pictures. I am forgetfull about taking the pictures. I get to caught up in the moment. We went back to the hotel and where ready to head to bed. We were so exhausted. My mothers day photo with the one that makes it worth the world. Here is the side effects of flying all day long. We were so tired still the next day. We had to wake up at 4:30 to make our flight so McCall was completely exhausted.
We played in the pool a little and waited until Tyler back to the hotel from working. Then we headed back to the beach. His work would not pay for a hotel on the beach because they only cover 100 dollars a day for hotel stay and everything on the beach was expensive so our hotel was only about 10 minute drive, if that. It was nice though becuase we had a kitchen and our room was seperate from the living space. We had two television and a DVD player it was perfect for a week long stay. Any way we went down to the shore and ate at this cute little resteraunt called the blue whale and once again good food but we waited for ever. We walked down the beach again and then went shopping at factory outlet to find some dressier shorts for Tyler to where to the dealership. He said he was sweating in pants because it was to hot. The next day McCall and I walked around a mall that was right by our hotel. It had a Saks 5th avenue. We had never been in one before. It was a fun little place to shop around with lots of cool little fountains. McCall had a blast. Then later when tyler got back to the hotel we grabbed a quick bite and headed for the beach. We wanted to get pictures this time for sure. PICTURE POSTED BELOW. Hope these VIDEOS don't bore you but I just had so much fun watching her enjoy the water.She just loves the water so much. (Never mind about the Videos I cant get them to upload. I will try again later.) Then back to the hotel. The next day was our last day and we wanted to make the best of it. It went a little something like this. We woke up and got everything ready for the day and ready for the flight home the next day. This way we could stay out and have a good time. We went to the outback steakhouse for lunch and waited so long for our food that we had to get it to go when it made it to our table. Tyler had already been gone from the dealership for an hour and a half and needed to get back. So he scarfed his food while we waited 10 minutes just for doggie boxes. Then we had to walk back to the hotel wich was just across the street so not a far walk. Then we went swimming for all of 25 minutes.

While in the pool a big dark cloud quickly passed over the pool so we hurried to get out. I thought we would go to a movie since we could not do much of anything else. There was a movie theater about a block from the hotel but as soon as we got dressed and opened the hotel DOOR. THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE.

It was warm rain so it would have been ok to walk in but the theater would have been cold and uncomfortable so we stayed inside and painted nails. Later that night we went a Place called the Elephant Bar. It is equivilant to a Cheese cake factory. PICTURE BELOW.

Then we walked around the mall that was there and took McCall to the Disney Store since there is not one in Utah anymore. She wanted to get the Bolt dog. IT was $40. No thanks. SEE PICTURE BELOW.

It was getting late and since we had an early flight we headed back to the hotel. To pass the rainy time we painted nails and McCall took a bath. SEE PICTURE BELOW.

The next day was quite the adventure and something that I hope I never have to do again. We left Floriday at 7:20 florida time we where scheduled to land in dallas at 9:20. Instead we landed in san antonia because of all the bad weather across the southern, eastern and midwest states. The tornadoes are the biggest part to blame. Well we did not get off in san antonio we just sat on the runway in the plane for 2 1/2 hours. We finally landed in dallas at 1:10. 2:10 floriday time. So a total of a little of 7 hours on one plane with a two year old by myself because tyler had to stay until friday for work. We missed our salt lake flight home that was supposed to leave at 12:35 dallas time. We were supposed to board a flight home at 2:20. When I as getting the flight thing all figured out they told me that it was taking a long time to get me the ticket beause they were hopfully going to be able to seet McCall and I my each other. There was no hopefully involved it was just going to happen. The flight that we where supossed to board at 2:20 we did not get on until 4:15 and we took off @ 4:45. We had the plane ready for us but no pilot to fly it. So we waited and waited. I called my mom like seven times finally I just waited to call here once I was on the plane. In the end we did make it home at 6:30 that night. What a day and I lived to tell about it. I could more you with more intense details but that really was the just of it. I am just so greatful for kind people. We sat next to some really nice people. THe lady that we sat next to on the first flight gave us a granola bar and the flight attendants gave us a cookie for free. Everyone was really friendly and was so helpful. I greatful for a fun mothers day week away from home and to have made it home safely.

McCall's Photo Shoot.

2008-12-17T00:45:00.005-07:00

In addition to the family shoot that we had for this year we also got a little session for McCall. It worked out perfect because her 2nd Birthday is just around the corner and this made a kill for two birds in one. She really warmed up in these pictures.
ENJOY

2008-12-17T00:28:00.005-07:00

The Week Before ThAnKsGiViNg--
We had a family Photo Shoot. I was very happy with the way that they turned out considering that McCall was a complete pill the entire time.

It Has been a while

2008-10-16T04:08:00.002-06:00

Ok so I really could have been doing a lot of catching up the last couple of weeks. However I decided that I was going to play things really low key. I basicly did nothing. I cleaned my house all day on tuesday night last week and then worked all night and have not worked until tonight. This was hard coming back to work after a week and let me tell you how much I would love to have a week off again and again and again. I could really get used to this. I look at it this way. In less then one year I will be done with school. I will have my nursing degree after a few billion years of school and other sorts of stuff and then I can have all the weeks off that I want plus the money. So bare with me folks just a short little time longer. I sure do miss hanging out with friends. The every 15 weeks sure does make it that much harder. ALMOST THERE!
So since I have been behind I need to post some pictures that I have missed posting this summer. Here they are. They are at the uintahs. There is so many different avenues to explore up there. It seems like there is endless roads to travel and adventure. Ok so never mind. I don't thing that I am going to post any pictures right now. It is 4:15 am so I could totaly be stupid right now and be having a difficult time seeing where to post my pictures. Maybe it could be that I have not posted anything in like 2 months. So I am unsure of which thing it might be but I will get back to you. I will find some other way to show you. So just look for something new on the blog besides the long and totaly not important stuff that most of you will really think that I must do drugs to stay awake at night.

You Are Belle!

Intelligent and kind. Your beauty goes much further than your apperance. Also, you make judgements of people based on their personality and not their looks. Attaining all the knowledge that you can is one of your major goals in life, but you are also a person who can make things happen.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Memories!

2008-07-20T22:18:00.001-06:00

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you can remember!

2. Next, repost these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you are playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Poser!

This usually never happens but I really wanted to get a cute little snapshot of McCall. So I took advantage of the scenery that I was located at (Finlinson Deer Valley Home). It was a family reunion and needless to say the only pics I have are of McCall. I think we can assume what I like more.

This Is my favorite Picture. It is really the best one that I could get out of her.

She looks so much older in this pic!

Gateway Fountains

2008-07-20T11:42:00.006-06:00

Last week my parents came to get McCall and took her to the fountains at the gateway. My parents said that she was the biggest but youngest kid in her age group. She has the chunck to prove it. She sure did have a glorious time. I think the pictures speak for themselves.

Waiting for the Fountains to start spouting water!

Only in this case does fat and a bathing suit go together. She sure is cute. And boy does she love the water. I can't seem to keep her out of it.

Like I said before McCall is a Mimmiker, She has to do every thing that I or Tyler do. Here a some examples.

Wearing her daddy's boots
She also likes to paint her fingernails when nobody is looking. One day after I used all of the nail polish remover to get old nail polish off McCall decided that she needed to paint her nail also. Except for she also painted the carpet and every inch of her body. Here is the results.

Since we were fresh out of nail polish remover the only thing to do was to put her into the shower until Tyler could get back from the store with a new bottle. This was the only way to keep her from getting nail polish all over the rest of the house.

This is the carpet before I cut out each piece of nail polish one piece of carpet at a time. Now you can't even tell. From now on it does not matter if I am about to paint another toe, the nail polish remains out of McCall's reach.

My favorite thing that she ever has done was a couple of months ago. I was taking a shower and she had to get in with me. She was climbing in with her clothes on. So I helped her get in but I was not planning on her doing so. I did not have a towel ready for her. I had been yelling a couple of times for Tyler to please bring a towel. McCall must have understood my frustration when not shy of a minute later she flung the shower curtain doo open and yelled Tyler's name, except it sounded more like "Tywler" The towel came real quick after that.

Ok so first thing first. McCall was tagged about a month ago, maybe even longer. I have just been a slacker with blogging lately. It seem like I never have time anymore. School keeps me so busy. Hopefully things with slow down this next week. I have finals this week and then I have a little break. It is never long enough but it will do for now.
McCall was tagged by her mom's friends little girl Kadee Harris. So here are 5 things you may not know about McCall. I will do my best. It always seems like I could go on and on when no one really cares but when asked I feel like I have to think really hard.

1. McCall really loves dogs. Every day when she wakes up one of the firts things that she does will be to walk to the kitchen to see the dogs. She will say doggie like 10 times as if no one can hear her.

2. She climbs every thing and any thing. She loves to climb out the doggie door and she really likes to climb out of her crib. She will climb any set of stairs she sees. She takes a couple of years off my life when she climbs things. It is not good knowing what can happen to your sweet child if she where to get a head injury.

3. McCall loves to dance. When if the music comes on she has to dance. One time when Hannah Montana came on she climbed on the coffee table and started dancing. She also really likes the song by Craig Morgan, International Harvester. She goes crazy. It is the funniest thing to watch.

4. She is really big for her age. She weights 32.5 lbs and is almost 34 inches tall. She is almost half my height. She is only 17 months old and the docter said that even if he put her on the chart at a 2 year old she would still be in the 90th percentile for her weight and off the charts for her height. He said that she needed to go on a diet and that I need to feed her every two hours. I don't feed her crap she just keeps on growing. I buy clothes alot. She has lost one pound in the last month and hopefully will lose another before her 18 month check up. Wish us luck. Any good children diet plans I am open to ideas.

5. She is quite the mimmiker. Any thing that I do she has to do. She also has to do it by her self. She loves anything electronic. If Tyler and I use it she has to use it too. She loves to talk on our phones and can even hold them up with one shoulder. I can't imaging how she learned this. While driving down the road one day I found McCall like this. I just had to take a picture. She is so funny.

2008-04-28T01:17:00.004-06:00

Ok so the last post was meant to include a little video of McCall going out the doggie door and getting into the doggie house. However, I am having a little trouble getting the footage to load. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or does it just take a long to load. Help anyone. In the mean time here are some pics of her having fun around the house.

Yes, This is McCall climbing out of her crib. She is getting to good at it. I cant trap her in her room any more

We moved into this condo last year in July and it has really needed some work. Over the last month things have finally been coming together. So here are some before and after shots. We redid the cabinets, carpet, kitchen floor has marble, we painted and put new window treatments up. We now just have a few finishing touches and the backyard needs some work but then we will be ready to sell and walk away with our profit.

It Looks like I posted the after before for. I am sure that anyone could figure that out. I don't know any one who would put pink carpet in their kitchen or bathroom let alone anywhere in there house.
