So What, He's a Rockstar

Treyson has always been a boy who loved his music. He will stop what he is doing as soon as he hears music. HE looks to see where it is coming from and then proceeds to dance. Tonight he got out his keyboard that he hasn't played in months and decided to to a little composing. I do believe we have a master in our hands.....

Even gives the "Rock star" look!

He does his best work in only his undies.

Splish Splash

After Dinner it was time for Jerseys bath....however I did not have the energy to wrangle her in the tub. She becomes this wild child when her toes enter the water. She LOVES her bathes. She goes nuts, squirming all around and trying to roll all over the place. it really is hard work to bath this baby. So tonight she got a bath in the kitchen sink instead. It was much easier to handle her, although she did her share of splashing Mama.

My bathing beauty


Splashing IS the best part of a bath.

Finally letting me Wash her...the purpose of the bath.

And for her "absolutely having a great time look"! Man, I love being a Mama!

Ghostly Fun

BOO

Super fun to make our "bed sheet ghosts"

Treyson drew this one completely by himself, he said it was a pirate ghost, how cute!

It takes a lot of concentration to do this.

Jersey wasn't sure what we were doing but she loved to be a part of it!

I didn't think we were really going to decorate for Halloween being as we would be out taking the kids trick or treating but to my surprise, Joe was all about it! We figure we will go out with the kids as soon as the sun goes down and only be gone for 1-2 hours. So we will still have time to come home and pass out goodies to our scary visitors. I make homemade chili and cornbread every Halloween and we sit in the garage and pass out candy and eat. Treyson loves to be in charge of the candy bowl and seeing all the different costumes of the kids coming by our house.

The Blessings of my Babies

This past weekend we made a special trip to Arizona so my Uncle Varcel could bless my babies. It was such a special and emotional day, especially for me. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time and I have such a feeling of warmth and relief knowing it is done. My Mom drove over from California to be there for this special day and my sister, Tiffney, drove with my kids and I from Boulder City. Along with my Uncle Varce was cousin Jeff and Bishop Maznio doing the blessings. I am so grateful they were there for us. Jersey sat so still and quiet I believe she had someone there keeping her calm as it is not like her to sit quietly for more than a few seconds. Treyson was such a big boy as well. Sitting so reverently and really listening to what Uncle Varce was saying. I love my children more than words could ever say!
Treyson and Jersey after their Blessings

Double My Paycheck.....

Ok so this happened last week, but I just now have time to blog, I still have lots of blog catch up to do, I will get to that later! So KWNR 95.5 has a double your paycheck promotion. You have to be listening during certain hours of the day and if they call your name you have nine minutes and fifty five second to call in. Tiff made sure her, Scott, Joe and I were all registered to have our names in and since she can have her radio on at her desk she would let us know if our names were ever called. So, last Wednesday we did have our radio on just playing a CD not 95.5 and the phone rang. Joe rushed me the phone, must have heard the panic in my sisters voice, and all she said was "They called your name for double your paycheck, 985-9500, CALL NOW!" So I did! It was AWESOME!!! I won something for the first time ever! Normally it is Tiff always winning cool stuff on the radio, but it was my turn. Although I would have never known had she not called me! I did tell a small "untruth" to the DJ, he asked if I was on of those people who were next to their radio at all times, I said yes! I wasn't about to tell him I want even listening. Anyway, since I done get paid to be a Mom so there is no paycheck to double I just get a flat $500.00! How sweet is that! It will actually be $400, because my Dog gets $100 for calling me!
