Happiness!

The other day my father in law asked Jake and I if we were happy. I first I was like what kind of question is that. I was not quite sure what he was asking. He said that we seemed happy together and was just wondering how things were going for us. It made me think about that, Jake and I are really happy together. If there was something more that I wish we had, I wish that we made more money, but everyone wants that. I wish that we had a dream house, but that cost lots of money, but we are trying to save for it. I wish we also had more time together, we work opposite shifts so that we don't have to pay so much for daycare. But yes we are really happy together, we don't have many hobbies together, but we love to just hang out together and talk and laugh about silly things the kids did. After my marriage to my first husband, which was a major disaster. I love being married to Jake, it is more of a partnership and friendship and I cherish every moment that we get to be together. Anyway sorry if this mussy stuff bothered some of you but I have to brag sometimes cuz my life is great.

First Day!

Well yesterday was Allie's first day of kindergarten, so I took the day off from work, to take her. She was so excited she kept asking me when it was time to go. She was so good she went right in and started playing with the other kids. She just loves it, which is good. I finally was able to make an appointment with a specialist for Caitlin, but the soonest that they can get us in isn't until October 27th. Today was a boring day at work, the first four hours went by pretty fast, but the last four just dragged. Well I need to get to bed early tonight, I am in major need of sleep. So thats all for today.

More from the Welch Belch Bunch

This weekend was interesting. On Friday we went and met Allie's Kindergarten teacher, she was really nice. I think Allie will have lots of fun. On Saturday we went to Jake's Grandma's house and help her move. Allie and I went and got her school shopping done, which was only glue, tissues and a backpack so that wasn't too bad. Then we went out to lunch with Jake's parents at the House of Chen. Then Jake's parents came to our house to watch our girls, while we got a much needed date night. We love our kids, but sometimes its nice to talk and not be interrupted. Jake and I went to eat at Iggy's and then went miniature golfing but it was really busy so we only played a couple of holes. We didn't do much but sometime its refreshing to have a little break. Today was another adventure, at church ( our meetings are kind of backwards, relief society, the Sunday school, and then sacrament meeting) anyway Caitlin and I were in Relief society for maybe about 20 minutes when I noticed she had messed her diaper, so I went to change her, as I stood up I realized that her diaper had leaked and she had pooped on me. I went to the bathroom and cleaned up as much as I could, then we ran home and changed our clothes, then returned to church. Jake thought it was hilarious that she had pooped on me, I didn't think it was that funny. Then in Sunday school she threw up, so we had to leave church early today. I am stressed that we can't seem to figure out what is wrong and why she keeps throwing up. Hopefully we will be able to figure it out and fix it soon.

Sorry !

Sorry it has taken me so long to write on my blog. Our computer was being so stupid, somedays I hate techonolgy. Anyway after a lot of screaming and cuzzing at the computer I think I fixed it, at least I really hope I did. I finished reading Breaking Dawn, it was pretty good. Its different from the other books. Last weekend was pretty boring, we were going to go see Wall-e or Kungu fu Panda but Allie didn't obey, so she wasn't allowed to go. We are trying to teach her that she doesn't get rewarded for being naughty. Caitlin seems to be sick still. I am going to have to get an appointment with a specialist. I kind of wish our bodies were like cars, just plug it in and a machine tells you whats wrong. I just feel so bad that my little girl is still sick, and I can't do much about it. Allie starts Kindergarten tomorrow, I know she is excited and ready to go. I can't say that same thing about me. I worry that she won't like it or she will have a hard time learning new things. Last Saturday we ran errands and then just sat around the house watching the Olympics and being lazy. Last Sunday we tried to sleep in but Allie was up at 6:30, but we stayed in bed until 9:30. At church during Sunday school the teacher asks us on a note card to leave a message to our kids like we would die tomorrow. I starting thinking about what to write and almost started to cry. I would hope that my kids know I love them, and that they would follow Christ's teachings. It also made me think harder about working more on getting to the temple and getting sealed for eternity as a family. Another goal to add to the list. On Monday during family home evening we talked about temples and how when family get sealed together, after they die they can be together again. Allie unfortunately thought that meant she or I was going to die that next day and she started crying. ( Not quite what I had in mind. But we calmed her down and I am not sure she still understands what we were talking about.) Well that's what we did last weekend.

Another long day!

Another work week here I come! Does anyone else wish that they could get paid to be a stay at home Mom. I would love that, but I also would get bored really fast. ( I could use the time to work on my girls scrapbooks, they may never get done.) I probably could be a daycare provider, but I just don't have enough patience. On another note, some days I don't really like being good at my job, cuz I always seem to get the special project jobs. Oh well! Caitlin's medicine seems to be working really well. I will probably regret it later, but I wish Caitlin would start walking she is making us nervous, we hope there is not a problem with her legs. Allie is going to be starting Kindergarten soon. She is getting excited, but she has started to write her name and letters backwards. Hopefully it is just a phase. I have been trying to work on some kindergarten readiness stuff with her, but we don't have much patience for each other. I have been trying to get over a cold, which is kicking my butt. Jake is trying to beat Ninja Gaiden 2 on Xbox360. So all in all things aren't going too bad for us.

Another Weekend!

Well this weekend was okay. Since we have kids, sleeping in is not really an option. We stayed up late Friday watching the opening ceremony for the Olympics. Most of Saturday we watched the games. I like watching Micheal Phelps, he is a really good swimmer. Jake likes watching any kind of sport, so he was happy. Then in the afternoon, we drove up to Preston to see Jake's sister Sharee new house. Then we went golfing with Jake's parents. It was fun, but I was pretty tired since I stayed up really late two nights in a row. On Sunday we went to Sharee's house for her twins Birthday party, which was nice.

Friday has Finally Arrived!

Well Friday is finally here. Thank goodness, I finally started the fourth and final book of the Twilight series. Which was probably a bad idea since I stayed up until 2 am this morning reading it, which didn't help the fact that I was already tired from my late of sleep earlier in the week. Right now I am not sure if I like this book yet, but I am only half way through it. Its not what I expected. Yesterday was better at work because they put me back in my old department for the day, it was fun to spend some time with the people I use to work with. Today was fun because we went and walked around the Cache County Fair. Then we ran our many errands which is always so much fun with two kids and takes 10 times longer. It is easier when Jake is able to come with me, but Allie always seems to know how to push my buttons. She is such a funny girl, every morning she wakes up and asks me where we are going the day, if we are staying home she whines that she wants to go somewhere. If we have go to stores she doesn't want to go. I can't seem to win with her. I know that I must learn to have more patience with her, I believe that is why she was sent to me. ( I still have a long way to go on that.)
Caitlin seems to be doing a little bit better, after another trip to the Doctor he decided to put her on a different medicine. Thankfully, he gave us a sample because a months supply costs a $147.00, which I had to buy today. It is a lot of money but it doesn't matter to me because my daughter can't lose any more weight by not keeping anything down. But this medicine seems to be working so we are going to stick with it and see what happens.
Also on another note, thanks to my mother in law for her comments to my blog, and for your concern. I am really okay, I am a big complainer but I am working on it. I usually use this blog as an out for my feelings.
P.S. I just want to brag for a moment and let the world know how much I love my husband and my girls. My husband, Jake is so awesome, I don't know what I would do without him. He is the glue that holds me together. He usually knows the right thing to say to make me feel better. Well enough of this mussy stuff. Until next time!

Another Day in Paradise!

But that I mean another long day at work. Somehow over the weekend I picked up a cold. So I felt like crap today, but one good thing that happened today I got to start training to become an inserter operator. ( Most of you probably have no idea what I am talking about, sorry its hard to explain.) Other than that I just cleaned house and tried to relax since this cold is totally kicking my butt, I can hardly breath, my nose is so stuffed up. I hope Friday gets here quick!!

That Famous Preston Night Rodeo!

This weekend was exhausting but fun. We went back to my hometown, Preston Idaho. The little Poe-dunk town made famous by the funny and crazy movie Napoleon Dynamite. ( My sister and my Mom are extras in it, and my parents manage the store Kings where Summer works.) Anyway as I sat before my husband has been dying to go golfing and apparently my sister's husband likes to golf too. So we got up bright and early on Saturday to make our 8:10 tee time at the Preston Golf course. The boys had fun but they need a lot of practice. Debbie (my sister) and I got bored, I don't think golf is our cup of hot chocolate. After that we all went to lunch at Golden City, the best Chinese restaurant in the world. (Well I think so, it totally beats Panda express, and Wok on Wheels.) Then we walked around the park and the sidewalk sale, which took about 10 minutes, remember this is Preston, its small. After that we went back to our parent's house and had a bowling tournament on my little brother's Wii. Jake kicked our butts! He is really good at bowling, almost too good, its disgusting. Then we went and took Family pictures since we haven't taken any for awhile. (As you can tell from the picture on our post.) Also my sister and her husband are professional photographers so we had them take them. They have their own blog if you are in need of a photographer give them a look-see. www.willduris.com Our family photos are not ready yet but I will post them when I get them. We then went to the parade which is awesome cuz they throw a butt-load of candy. Jake's Dad was also in the parade promoting their movie that they made, called Money making morons. So Jake decided to get soak his Dad with water, it was pretty hilarious. Also someone proposed to someone during the parade, they had a truck decorated up and he got down on one knee, it was a pretty neat idea. Then we went on an Atv ride with Debbie and Will. We headed back to my parents for Navajo Tacos and funny dinner conversation, but brother Kenny is a regular comedian. Anyway that was our fun and busy weekend. I am still trying to figure out this blog stuff so I will add pictures later.
