Nov/Dec/Jan-heck I struggle!!!

Jess and Skye at Jess's Baby shower. We all are so excited to get Ruby here! She will be the only baby in our group of friends and we are going to spoil her like crazy! We love you Jess!!

Okay were do I start.....Brynn broke her leg 3 Sunday's ago at my friend/family or what ever we call the Johansen's!She feel down I think there hardwood stairs! It was awful!!! I just had one of those mother feelings that something was wrong. I don't know if it was her leg twitching, the 45 minute crying session...which is nothing new, or the fact that she wouldn't walk on it. So Skye and I left for the ER with Brynn. We were shocked when they told us it was broken! It was a crazy night but I'm so glad I had Skye to take care of us. She filled out the paper work and knew all the info, then she talked to all the doctors for me and made sure Brynn was okay by giving her a sucker that she had in her purse. She also went on to explain to everyone that we weren't a couple. I don't know what she was thinking or doing but I guess she had to explain our relationship!!LOL!!! Anyways... She had a wrap on for about 3 days to let the swelling go down then we went up to Primary Children's to get the cast on. She really is fine now but those first weeks she would just scream and wanted to be carried by everyone. She hated that she couldn't run around with Bracken but she did get even with him by hitting him with her cast... a lot! She now can run around with everyone. Things are good! I do have to admit the cast is soooo cute!

Brynn's aunt Tamra and cousins sent her a Get well package with a book and cards! It so thoughtful...something my mom would do! Thanks Tamra you don't even know how much we appreciated it!



Jaylynn being a model. She loves to pretend she is a superstar. The clothes she is wearing are Matilda Jane. Skye just won their big photographer contest and was sent back to their headquarters. She gave Jaylynn and Brynn two outfits. Thanks Skye for thinking of us!!



Leslie, Heather, and Noah all signing Brynn's cast!



Bracken on TIME OUT....do you think he's scared?



This is how Brynn acted for two weeks after she got her cast on! It was hard to deal with!!!LOL!!!

On Christmas before Jaylynn even looked at her toys she said mom take a picture! This is what she did!!! ????



Bracken loves Jaylynn's vanity! Shhhh...don't tell Ben!



Christmas Eve PJ's! They are soooo happy! The funny thing is I forgot to even wrap them! I can't believe I forgot! ????



On Dec 4th we always get together with my dad and go out to eat, try to do an activity, and end it with a wal-mart rip. Something my mom would love to do. We miss her but had a great time remembering her and being together!



I made this wreath with all the grandkids picture on it!





We went to the Dinosaur Museum in Price. My mom use to talk her grandkids to this place all the time. My kids never had the chance but Grandpa did a great job!



The triplets! This guys were born within 6 weeks of each other. Paisley was born on my Mom's B-day! I love it! Paisley is such a sweet, cute girl! We love hugging and kissing her! Tamra and Joe really have the cutest kids!



Christmas Clothes! This picture was taken before Melissa's wedding! I'm glad we got the picture because we never would have had time before Church. It seems we are always rushing no matter what time church it!



I took Jaylynn to the Princess on Ice. We really had a great time with Melaine and Amanda's girls! Thanks for the great time! Jaylynn was in her glory! She love love love it! I do have to say it was worth every single penny!!!

September/October Post!!!!

Brynn tired of all the walking at our ward trunk or treat!

Brynn just standing! She really doesn't like crowds!!!

Bracken loved getting candy!!Yeah..it was a success!!!

My dad spent Halloween weekend with us! Brack loves loves my dad!! Jared is always looking good in pictures. We sure love you both!

Jalylynn and her good friend Sophie!

Bracken...he loves taking pictures

Making our traditional Halloween cookies. I really hate the mess....but Grandma Joy always did it so I guess I will carry on the tradition. Did I mention I really don't love this activity:)

Bracken and Jared frosting the yummy cookies. Even though I hate making them they always turn out great!

Bracken and Brynn had their 16 month check up the day before Halloween. So I thought their Halloween costumes would go great with the occasion. Dr. Kim didn't want a picture so this one will have to do. They are too cute!!

This is a picture of my Preschool Class Halloween Party.

Jaylynn costume was so fun! I really love dresses her up!

We had a neighborhood/friend Halloween Party. We all had so much fun. This is Ben's costume. LAME!!!!

Ryan and Skye...I mean Joe dirt and his lover! Great Costumes guys. Always the life of the party!!!

We went on a field trip to Pumpkinland. Always a good time.

Preschool Class!!!

Every year we go with Cheryl and Melissa to Gardner Village. We always have fun with Cheryl. Thanks for being the best grandma ever. We love you! Melissa....please come back.... Melissa just got married and we miss her sooooo much!

Jaylynn waiting for preschool to start on her 2nd day. We hav a discussion, not a fight, HA HA about what she should wear. She loves jeans and a T-shirt and well I love skirts, leggings, and girly stuff. I guess we pick our battles!!!

Jaylynn and Paisley on their first day of dance. Jaylynn loves dancing and she is great at it. I love watching and encouraging her.

This picture is great. One day I went to Old Navy to get something and they were having a party and this is what Jaylynn looked liked when we came out of the store!

Jaylynn's first day of preschool. I didn't have one of those crying moments...maybe it's because I am her teacher.I really am scared for kindergarten:) The only tear we had morning was our discussion on her outfit. It wasn't what I was visioning for my first daughter to wear to her first day of preschool but....she wanted to choose. The night before she laid out her entire outfit with underwear and all. So I didn't want to ruin her dream. HA HA....T-shirt and Jean girl!

Wow....time????

Wow... were does the time go? Well since I am making new goals for the new year I decided I better put blogging on my list. I decided to go private so quick that I never found time to update or invite people. Sorry....but since I have new motivation let's give this another try. Hopefully I can get all the updates done within the next couple of days. Good luck to me!

NEED EMAILS FAST

Okay this time I am really serious. My friend had some things happen with her blog that was terrible. I don't want to go into the details but I do want you all to realize that it was horrible and if you haven't gone private to do it now!!! Don't chance it....it's not worth it....anything can happen. So because of this I am going private as soon as possible.....so if you come by my blog please leave your email!!

Thanks!

August is Over????

I can't believe that August is over! What happened??? Well I just wanted to end August with what we did this weekend!
First off it was my mom's b-day on Sunday! I sure miss her! She really was the life of any party! So full of life! We miss her even more so this weekend at the Dale Family Reunion. It's just not the same without her!

My dad and my mom were highschool sweethearts! They sure loved each other! I don't think I realized it until she died! My dad is a hard person to always love but my mom did. I need lessons. How did she do that?? HA HA!!Love you dad!





Jaylynn and my mom! Jaylynn was a week old in this picture. We sure had fun dressing her up together!



Jaylynn is getting so interesting, to say the least!. She loves dancing around the room and she really does get emotional during those slow songs on the Hananah Montana CD. Notice Ben's expression in the back ground!



Bracken's tree in his room. Wow...it sure is hard to decorate a boys room. Ben wants me to put a poster up of Joe Montana. That's how he thinks a boys room should be. As if.....I think the tree and pictures are okay and not the girly. Ben's just worried about me doing a theme room. He used to make fun of my mom and her kitchen rooster decorations. Jeff's just worried that the tree scares Bracken at night. Well....will see!!



So yesturday I walked down stairs to put something away and this is what I saw. Yes...Jaylynn made her own bed without me even asking. Can she be anymore perfect. She said "mom big girls make their own beds!" She is 3 going on 16.



Reese and Jaylynn kissing grandma Joy's picture on her grave. After they kissed it they both decided that they wanted Grandma Joy to come out of the grave and play with them. As they were talking about this my dad was just sobbing as you could imagine. He always is saying that he wishes she could be with all her grandkids. They were her favorite thing. A perfect Grandma.

Yesterday Jaylynn said that she wished that Grandma JOy could still be alive so she could help her solve problems. It was so cute. I then explained how Grandma is her angel and that she will always help her!!



Jaylynn and I made these balloons to go on the grave! They turned out perfect. I love including her with the things I do for the grave. I never want her to forget her grandma!



The family! My dad still just cries all the time. He misses her so much!



I have to give a congrads to Melissa (My favorite person in the world) for getting engaged to this Hottie Issac. Melissa had helped me every week since the twins were born. It has been so fun getting close with my long lost cousin. I just love her more then anything. I hope she will be blessed beyond measures for being there for me!



Here is some pictures from the reunion. We had a great time! The only bad thing about it was the jet ski tipping over with my 3 year on it. It was fine and Ben did save her. But she did ask Ben while he was putting her back on the jet ski, "Are we going to die?" Yikes!! It was so scary.....but now a little funny. She had a lifejacket on!







Here is my new life.... Bracken and Bynn are outlaws together and are always making trouble and worst of all making messes. THey sure love playing with each other!
