1 year later +! :)
Wow last time I even logged onto this blog was September 2011, its been a really long time ago. I will just get caught up on the stuff I posted about then move on to some new stuff.
1. I'm still a stay at home mom with my boys! I do watch two wonderful little girls and love them to death! They are so easy and fun to have around, and my boys love having girls in the home!
2. Jeff has changed jobs, the Schlumberger was not as good as we attended it to be but it did what we needed it to do. He stuck it out for about a year. There are rummers that are still going around here in the valley and with family that they think he got fired, but NO!! He quit on his owe we just did not like him being gone all the time and the crew he was on was a really hard crew to get along with. The year he was gone he missed Tripp's B-day, Halloween, Christmas, New Years, Easter, Brackston Birthday, 4th July, 24 July. Some of these he came back the day of late. So he came back and got a job with Cardall's Insulation for about 2 months (NOT MAKE ANY MONEY) so then got on with Whitakers and been with them for about 7-8 months something like that. (Making more money the Cardall's but nothing like we where making at Schlumberger) But we decided Family was more important then the money! So here we are with Whitakers and liking it!
3. I will start with Brackston is now 5 1/2 years old and is in Kindengarden and loves it. He also can read, write, spell! Where did my baby go! He is so smart right now he loves science stuff and enjoys learning. Lets just hope that keeps up! Tripp is now 3 1/2 years old and is in Birch Creek Specail Ed Preschool and loves it! Tripp still does not talk we stay about 25-30 words which is a huge impovemnt from when he start this preschool in September 2012! Brackston is my easy going that does not push many buttons at all, while Tripp is my button pusher and loves to you get mad and thinks its funny! Gotta love these boys!
4. YES STILL NO BABY!!! I did go and see Dr Noorda in September 2011 and he made me go back into surgery that following January to do the same thing a clean out surgery, then put me on Lupron shot for 6 months. YES I was having so much fun going through medipause again! The end of July we had a miscarraige which was no fun, but at the same time I truly believe its because the shot was not quite out of my system and this shot can cause a lot of problems. And also this little buddle of joy just needed a body and go back to work with our Heavenly Father. So now its December and still no baby so I'm trying to decided what to do go and see Noorda again and figure out a next step or just wait and ride this ride that our Heavenly Father has put out there for my little family. I truly don't believe we're done, I think we still have some waiting for us and its just not time. (I think its time, but our Heavenly Father must have a different time frame then I do) So we are in a limbo there!
5. Brackston Dirt Bike at his garage sale he earned a little over 800 dollars so he had enough money to buy his dirt bike all by himself. At first he had to ride it with training wheels and now he can just jump on it and go without any training wheels. Jeff, Bro, and my dad took him on a dirt bike ride this fall at the SV hill and he loved it. Not having to just ride it in the back field all the time. I believe next year he will need a little bigger bike! Tripp in May thought he could ride it and he crashed pretty hard and scraped up his face but hardly even cried. What some tough boys they have both crashed pretty hard.
6. NOW for anything that is new in our life. Jeff is going to have carpal tunnel surgery in Janurary! We hopefully pay off both vechicles this upcoming year!! YEA!! ya there is not much that is new here. LOL!
7. THE BIGGEST THING we went to a 49ers game!! This was Jeff and Mine Christmas Gift from my parents!! The 49ers played the Bears and kicked their trash 34-7. We went with Wayne and Tina and they're Bear fans and it was nice to see our 49ers kick trash!

Stay at home MOM!!!!!
I was supossed to be done with work on the 23 of September, but Christie told me that I had another week of vacation that I can use. So she let me stay home a week early! It is great with Jeff being home this week that I can spend it with him!! I'm so so excited to spend time with my boys!
Jeff really like his job, he says it is really really easy and he loves it. I also think Jeff loves the travel. Last week he did nights and he said that was not bad at all. When he goes back on Monday he will be on days.
Today is Tripps Birthday I can't believe he is 2 years old!!! Where did the time go? He is getting so so big. The only thing is that I wish he was caught up on his speech. But he is getting a little better each day!! For his Birthday we are going to see the Lion King in 3d with Brandon and Shelly and there kids.
On Friday I go and see Dr Noorda I'm kinda nerves to see what he has to say. I had the "clean out surgery" in January. It has been nine months and still not prego. So hopefully he can help us out. I really want to get pregnant before all my pain comes back. I think right now would be a good time. For a couple of reasons #1 I'm on my mom's insurance!! I can have a baby for 50-100 dollars that is it!!!! #2 I'm a stay at home mom now so I don't have to have my grandparents raise my kids!! #3 Jeff and I can afford another baby now with his new job!!
But I'm a ferm believer that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ has a plan for us and when it is meant to be I will get pregnant!! So I know I just have to be patient and it will all work out at the end.
On Saturday will be Brackston Garage Sale!! Thank you Whitney Hale for letting us use your yard to have it. The perfect location right on the highway. Brackston has been wanting this garage sale all summer long. He is trying to get enough money for a dirt bike. And he is the one that set this whole garage sale up. I hope we make enough money for him!!
I need to but more pictures up!!

1 week down!
Well Jeff has been gone for 1 week, 2 more to go! :( Jeff says he really likes his job and he thinks it will be a good change. He says these 3 weeks will be the hardest because it is all classroom work. Long hours just sitting in a classroom. He has met some really good guys that he has been hanging out with and car pooling with. He will come home around the first part of September for a week then he will go back for 15 days and off 6 days. I still feel like this was a really good move on our little family even though it will be hard to get use to. Tripp goes around the house at night saying dad dad dad in every room, he is so a daddy boy that he does not understand where his dad is. Brackston understands that his dad is at work and he will be back after 3 church days. He is planning a welcome home party for his dad. He has been so cutie about the whole thing.
Events that have happened sense Jeff left Sunday at 5:30pm
Sunday night notice a red spot on Tripps Leg about a 50¢ piece hot and red. So I marked it with a pen and went to bed thinking it was a spider bite.
Monday Morning the red spot was a little bigger and Tripp would not let you touch it. I took him to my parents house where my dad was watching him. By 2pm my mom calls and says I think we need to get him in to a doctor. YIKES NO INSURANCE DO TO CANTWELLS! oh well what do you do other than just take them. Got him into Dr. Horkley his pediatrician at 5:30pm where Dr Horley looked at it and says it needs to be lanced. So he put liodicane cream on it and we went and ate at the cafeteria at the hospital. Then we went back and the put a 20 gauge needle in his leg and drained all the Brown stinky puss out. We got out probably like 2 tablespoons full of puss. GROSS! This whole time I holding down my screaming child so the doctor could get all the puss out. SAD! The Doctor told me he doesn't think it is a spider bite he thinks it is a infection call MRSA. He also believes that is what his so called diaper rash is to. NOT GOOD AT ALL! so he gave us an antibiotic thank goodness it is one that you can get a Walmart for 5 dollars!
Tuesday morning I woke up and his leg was WORSE YES WORSE! so I called the doctor and they would not get back to me until about 2:00 pm and the doctor want to see him again at 4:30. During that day he would not even walk on his leg he would hold on furniture and walk along the furniture. So I stayed home with him instead of going to work and I was taking out the garbage and he followed me out there and he fell getting off the steps and scraped up his chin really bad. About 2ish I notice another red spot on his other leg. and his butt was getting worse also. So when we went in the numb up his leg again and drained it again. This time we got about 2 more tablespoons out! and he said about the other leg and butt that the antibiotic should be kicking in within 48 hours so he thinks that they should clear up on there own.
Wednesday His leg is looking a little better lease not worse! but the other spot is getting a little bigger so were keeping an eye on it. My grandma Peggy watch the boys. So she just snuggled Tripp. Brackston fell and hit a chair and cut himself by his eye. Thank goodness no stitches but it sure does look sore.
Thursday the big sore on Tripps leg is looking a lot better but it still has a hard spot in it. But the other one on his other leg was getting more red and hard so I was brave and I just popped it like a big zit puss went all over. Thank goodness I was prepared knowing that this infection is contagious. So that night I put ban-aids with medicine on both legs hoping that the infection would go down.
Friday morning they were both looking better but I have not looked at them without the ban-aids on them so when I get home from work I will look at them. But the hard spots where going down. So lets keep are fingers cross that we have beat this infection. and the no one else gets it.
Saturday I have to be on call from 7-5 without a hubby home to take care of the boys if I get called out. So thank you to my in-laws that are willing to be on call for this period of time. Sitting by a phone just waiting for the phone call saying I'm leaving come and get the boys. Thank you Alan and Ileen for your help!!
Sunday will hopefully be an easy day! Go to church and relax rest of the day! We will see if that happens.
This is my First week without my husband. Lets hope next week goes a little better. I just can't wait to be a stay at home mom and do this!

NEW JOB!
My husband got a new job with Schlumberger. Make a long story short Cantwells laid him off August 9th but canceled all of our Insurance on July 31, 2011. Which sucks because we had Dr. Appointments first part of August. So now I have doctor bills that I have to pay without insurance. THANK YOU CANTWELLS!! Jeff was planning on leaving Cantwells to take this job with Schlumberger and give his two weeks to Cantwells but we where going to first get the kids on chip and get things settled before we did it. Jeff will be working out of town, most likely he will be in North Dakota, but we are not for sure yet. He will be working 15 days on 6 off. I will be a stay at home mom soon!!! I can't wait, my goal is the first part of October! I feel that this is a really great move for our family. I have a lot of family doubting Jeff that he will be able to do this, but I know for a fact Jeff will do great!!! This 6 days off we will have a lot of fun together and a lot of quality time together! Schlumberger has great benefits, 401k plan, profit sharing, bonus, vacation and much more! They pay for all travel and housing! We are ready for a new start and better life for our boys!

Month of June & July
-2nd of June going out to eat with Lacy, She has been such an amazing friend she just knows when I'm to my last strings and she comes and rescues my family! Thank you so so much Lacy, I can't express it enough how much she has helped out!
- 23rd of June Jeff's Surgery LDS Hospital, I will be honest I was way nerves for this surgery saying that we just got done with detox off of narcs. But Jeff did really really well! I took control of his meds the first month or so and no he does not even have narcs in the house and he has been just fine. His shoulder is still healing but doing good, he feel down the stairs and caught himself with that arm, so the doc does not want him to do therapy for couple of weeks. But he does not complain about it always hurting.
- 25 of June Aunt Jerri Baptism, Congrats to my Aunt, she has been struggling with a few things and she has been doing great! She got baptised by my little brother Tim! This was such a special day for my whole family. I can see in the next year or so she will go through the temple! I'm so happy for my AUNT I love her so so much!
- ALL month of June Getting Ready of Girls Camp, Getting ready for girls camp has been a lot of work but on the same hand it has all came together so easily. I know for a fact the lord has helped me in everything. All the little hand outs, crafts, bedtime stories, games, ext..
-4th of July... On the 1st we went to the Logan fireworks we just sat on the outside of the stadium on the hill, Tripp and Brackston loved the fireworks! Then on the 4th of July we went to the Lewiston Parade, then their little booth fair thing they do. My boys loved all the blow up air bouncy rides. This is ONE of the FOUR holiday's that I get off!!! I enjoyed being with my family on my day off!
-Tripp's IFSP... What this is, is a little conference on how to help Tripp with is speech and tantrums. He is with the Up to 3 program and I hope it makes a difference with him. We just started it. In August more people will come! Tripp only says like 3 words on a daily basses. Ball, Boo, Dad. So hopefully we can get him up to speed.
-Kizzi Birthday, Well it came and gone! I was not going to do anything for my birthday because no money at all. But Brackston had a different idea. So I went to fire drill like normal on Wednesdays and we get a phone call wondering when we would be done because Brackston invited my brother Bro and his wife Melissa to my parents house for a surprise party for his mom. So Jeff and I left drill early and went up to my mom's and dad's to have cake and a surprise party. It was way cute to see Brackston so excited to have a birthday party for me. I love my boys to death!!
- Girls Camp, Started on Monday the 18th and went through Friday the 22nd. I hoped and prayed that it all would go as planned. I think all the girls had a blast everything went so well and so smoothed. I did not have much complaining or drama. These girls are the BEST! I really enjoyed being the camp director and I'm ready to do it next year!! I loved every minute of it. I hope all the girls had a blast!
-Family Camping Trip, On Friday the 22nd I unpacked the girls camp stuff about noon and repacked for our family camping trip with the Murray's at High Creek. We stayed until Sunday because of course I had to work on Monday! We had a great time, we went skeet shooting, rock chuck shooting, floated the narrows, found a swing tied to a tree.. Watch the video of my cousin Melissa swinging on the swing. Just remember this is her second attempt she already killed herself the first time. We thought that she would of learned! Timmy got 4 stitches on his wrist because of some sharp rocks. They kids loved to play in this little pond that was next to the creek. Thank you to everyone that made this happen!

Tripp and Tubes
Tripp had tubes put in his ears after 5 ear infections on May 31, 2011. I was a little scarred about the whole putting him under. But he did GREAT!!! He did not come out screaming or nothing, he was an angel! We arrived at the hospital at 7:30am and we were back home and 9:00am.
Tripp is 21 months and he still does not speak, he does not even say mama or Dada so that is hard. Sometimes you get a ball or boo out of him. For the most part he just does not say anything. So I have put him in the up to 3 program. They came out on Monday and did the evaluation. Tripp was right on or ahead on everything but speech and he was at 10 months with it. :( I hope he catches up on speaking soon. Because he gets frustrated with us because we don't know what he want and then he throws a huge and I mean HUGE fits.
They think most of it is because of all the negative pressure in his ears before his tube that he could not hear well. But we will be getting a hearing test done on June 30th :) Hopefully that comes out good if not we will go down a different path to help Tripp!

Brackston and the Cow Story!!
My in-laws took Brackston and Tripp to a farm a month or so ago. They seen baby cows, chickens, ducks, sheep's, horses. You name it they seen it. Brackston and Grandma went off on a little walk by themselves, they were looking at ma ma cows. Brackston speaks up with confusion on his face and says Grandma those cows have a lot of penises. Ya he was looking at the over in-large utters! Grandma had to explain that one to him.
