The Hakes Family

My heart Aches

2012-02-10T20:29:00.007-07:00

My heart is aching tonight for my friend in my ward, April. She recently lost her sweet boy Caleb. Caleb was born without a brain, but he was put on this earth for a reason. He lived for 7 years! He was full of love and such a sweet spirit, he taught so many people so many lessons, and especially that everyone has the ability to Love. Read Her blog, Wink From Heaven. Please listen to her blog with music on, it really helps you to feel Caleb's sweet spirit. His story has touched so many lives, as I know it will touch yours. Please remember to keep April and her family in your prayers.

How many times have I posted about not having camera ?!?!?

2012-02-10T20:03:00.008-07:00

How many times have I complained on my blog about not having a camera?? Click Here, Here, and Here

And now I have this post to add to the list! I am so angry that I have not had my camera since October!! All my pictures have been captured on my phone or by some one else. Lets count all the milestones I have missed:

-Halloween

-Diesel 3 months

-Thanksgiving

-Diesel 4 Months

-Reggies Birthday

-Christmas

-New Years

-Diesel 5 months

-Diesel Sitting up

-Diesel eating

-Diesel sort of crawling

-Diesel 6 months

and all those other cute moments.

Which makes me grateful for Facebook (and my amazing iPhone.) I am thankful that I can post all the silly/cute things my kids say to me so I have some what of a documentation of my children and I also have a place to post my pictures from my phone :) I feel like such a terrible mom that I dont have very many pictures of Diesel and he is 6 months old!

Marina took a few pictures of Baby D, they turned out adorable!

Santa Claus

2011-12-12T20:15:00.002-07:00

Saturday our ward had a Primary Activity, and Santa Came for a visit! Can you guess who Santa was??? The second Santa walked in, Miley shouted "Hey, Thats not Santa, that's daddy!" So the girls started telling everyone! luckily the other kids didn't really pay attention :)

They still talk about Daddy being Santa, and Reggie is still denying it :) Miley would not normally sit on Santa's lap, but this time she did ;)
And I just love this little guy to Pieces!! He turned 4 months on the 5th. He weighs just over 14 pounds and is about 24 1/2 inches long! He is growing!! He is always so happy! Love him!!!

I had a Baby!

2011-11-05T17:19:00.003-06:00

My sister kiahna has been bugging me to update my blog, so here goes:

So many events have happened since I Had Diesel! But before that I figured I should share a lot of what I went thru so I can remember what that sweet little boy put me thru! In May I was about 27 weeks and went to the ER in so much pain, I thought I was going to die! Turned out I had Kidney stones, but there wasn't much they could do about them because I was pregnant. They said I should pass them in a couple of days, well that did NOT happen. I was suffering miserably off and on until the first week of July, so for about 6-8 weeks I felt awful!! It took that long for what ever was in me to get out! I had 2 ER trips and 2 false labor trips that my hubby was not happy about!

Another exciting event that took place was my brothers wedding, (I was also sick at that- I was in the hospital the night before getting a morphine shot!) It was a beautiful event and I couldn't be more happy for Branden and Marina. I take credit for that because I set them up! :)

In July my sweet sister in-laws threw me a darling baby shower, where I felt truly loved and blessed to have such an amazing family. And I was stocked with plenty of boy stuff! :)

Finally on August 5, Diesel Michael Hakes arrived, 7lbs 5 oz, 19 inches at 4:05. It was one of my longer labors, usually after the Dr breaks my water I have the child in about 15 mintues! But it took over an hour for him to come! Turns out he was posterior, so he wasnt dropping. But he came safe and sound. I fell in love instantly and he has had my heart ever since.

I would post pictures but they are on my other computer and I am too lazy to go in the basement and get the cd. IF you are friends with me on facebook, then you have seen lots of pictures of the little guy. (also i left my camera in cali :(

We were able to go on an adult only trip (with the exception of baby D) to Lake Powell! We had a blast!! I am so grateful to Marina for watching my girls that weekend, She was so sweet to take them for me because I had baby sitters bail on me last minute, for good reasons though :)

On October 7, we blessed the little guy and had lots of family come for that as well and I am so grateful for everyone in my family and for the love and support they show Reggie and me. After the weekend of the blessing I went to Cali for 2 weeks to spend time with my mom, sisters and grandma. I left my camera in my moms truck when she brought me back, so I cant post anything from the blessing or the trip.

In october another exciting thing happened, Reggie started his new Business! Its called

MVP Restoration! He specializes in Water damage, mold, fired, and starting to do carpet cleaning. He can also do more if you needed :)

We are selling our house and we have an offer, which is a great blessing in this tough time! We aren't positive where we will end up, but some where in spanish fork or mapleton.

But the what has been hard on me the most is Reggie's Brother Allen and his wife Emily and His moving to Texas and His brother Ben and Callie moved to California :(.. It is going to be a hard change for me but I know that it was for the best for their families and I just hope one day they will come back to Utah!

Here are some latest Pictures that I had on my phone of the kids. Today Diesel is 3 months old! He is so smiley and loves ME!! he gets so sad when i walk by him and dont acknowledge him! He is getting stronger with his head everyday and just brings pure joy to my life! He is my best sleeper so far and will sleep thru the night a lot of the nights! I just love him!

My two favorite guys, watching football... They could

be twins!

My hamburger!

Evan-Werewolf, Miley-Pink Poodle, Kade-Cop, Maggie-Bumble Bee

2011-05-23T13:10:00.002-06:00

Girls woke up Easter sunday to their baskets, filled with some toys, candy and their

new Easter Dresses! They had no idea that they were going to wake up to anything!

They were so excited!! The girls were already up with Reggie for about an hour and I for sure thought they had already seen their baskets, but they didn't even notice them until I pointed them out to them!

Some pictures just before church!

Easter Egg hunt at Aunt Kara's house! Easter bunny brought the girls some toys and a Bathing Suit!!

Birthday Extravaganza!!

2011-04-06T14:41:00.005-06:00

The birthday girl talking to her daddy on the phone :)

This post has taken me a while to get up! My blogger picture up loader thing wasnt working, but now it is :) March was a special month and an expensive one for Reggie :) 2 birthdays!! Maggie's is the 18th and I am the 20th! Friday the 18th, Maggie had her Friend party, she has 14 that live around us! It was insane, but she had a lot of fun. I was lucky enough to hire a professional photographer and decorator. She did an amazing job, and if you would like to use her, her name is Jessamyn :) lol!! I dont know what I would have done with out her help!!

Catch up!

2011-04-06T14:21:00.005-06:00

The month of March has been so busy for us! Started with a trip to California! The girls and I spent a week at my Grandmas and hung out in Bakersfield, then made a trip over to Ridgecrest to visit my sister Kiahna and be there for my nephews baptism. It was a very special trip! We then went back to bakersfield, where my kids got sick :( postponing our Disneyland trip a day, but I made sure we would make it to the Happiest place on earth! I only have pictures of Disneyland though!

I love in this picture how Reggie was on his phone, well that was pretty much our whole trip!

My sister Kerri was able to come as well as my Mom and Dad, We had a Blast!

We Spent Day 2 at California Adventure for half the day, then went back to Disneyland, it wasn't busy at all so we were able to take our time and see some characters!

Miley did not like any of the characters, only the ones that were "real" (tinkerbell and Rapunzel) This picture Pluto is trying to get her to get her autograph book off of his nose, it was pretty cute !

Seeing Rapunzel and "Eugene" (maggie doesnt call him Flynn :) was the most exciting part for the girls! I waited 1 1/2 hours to see them!!

3-D Nausea

2011-02-17T14:41:00.005-07:00

Jessamyn and I are always trying to do something with the children, movies are always our go to plan! We have been wanting to take the kids to see "Megamind" but the closest showing was in provo and in 3D. We thought the kids could handle a 3D movie, and they actually did pretty well with keeping the glasses on. But Jessamyn and I both left the theater nauseous and with a migraine. The movie was actually kinda cute, predictable, but none the less entertaing for our almost 3 and 4 year olds! Jessamyn and I will have many more adeventures together, I will be extremely happy for her when her hubby gets to come home in June (maybe May :) but sad for me because that means less time together and her possibly moving :( But our most extciting adventure is coming in just a few weeks, DISNEYLAND!! WAA HOO!!

***Oh and for all you wondering about the location of my previous post, Its called Provo Beach Resort. Sorry I told Jessamyn!!!

GOTTA GET OUT!!

2011-02-08T14:27:00.003-07:00

I called Jessamyn early monday morning, telling her I had to do something and needed to get out of the house. So we heard of the opening of this new fun place in Provo. Jessamyn and I were telling the kids it was like Disneyland. I am not giving out the name or any more details than that. For fear of more people discovering our new favorite place, with it soon being over-crowded with too many moms and kids with nothing to do!

Us enjoying our fun day out with a yummy lunch!

She is very loud

2011-02-01T07:47:00.004-07:00

I just though I would let you know that Miley is extremely loud. Like deafening loud. I really can't give you any examples, I could if i recorded it, maybe I will some day. She is also very clingy and is my buddy. She always has to be near me, she cant be alone. But most importantly, she is very stubborn and knows how to get what she wants.

This picture doesn't do her justice, but it will have to do.

The girls were sitting next to me while I wrote the Post, Maggie was jealous that there was not a picture of her, so here is one of Miss Maggie :)

A SUNBEAM, A SUNBEAM, I'll Be a Sunbeam for HIM!

2011-01-14T09:39:00.002-07:00

Read on past this post, I have done 2 other posts today!

Sunday, January 2 Maggie became a Sunbeam!! I cant believe how big she is getting!

Reggie insisted that she had a new outfit for her big day to start primary, so you cant just buy for only Maggie, Miley needs a new outfit too!

Love these kids! They make me laugh everyday!

Sheri and Mikes Reception!

2011-01-14T09:27:00.004-07:00

2 days after Christmas we got to Celebrate Mike and Sheri's Marriage!! We had so much fun dancing, eating, being with family, and especially getting to see what outrageous things Reggie will wear and Do! He wore a cowboy hat, crazy suit from guatemala that he got on his mission, a blue shirt and a Texas Longhorns tie... anyway, he always makes us laugh! Just love him to pieces, I am so lucky :) He also surprised us with some karaoke! I have some pics of Elvis, and sheri and mike, and Video from the reception, but its on my new iphone reggie got me, and I am not good about uploading stuff from it to the computer... Maybe someday I will learn!

We will see :) Since my last post in August we have had lots of exciting things happen! MAggie Started Dance and Pre-school in September! I cant believe how fast she is growing! Also in september we went to California to Celebrate my Grandma Beylik's 90th Birthday! It was such a fun family reunion! Then we went to Disneyland with my Mom and Dad, oh how I LOVE Disneyland!! (what trip to cali isnt complete without a stop at the Happiest Place on earth :) October was full one big surprise, Reggies mom got MARRIED in vegas! So crazy, yet the best thing to happen for her! We love her so much and love Mike!! And of course, lots of halloween fun, with both girls dressed as Hocus Pocus Witches (that is their favorite movie.) I also won the BEST DECORATED TRUNK at our ward Trunk or Treat! YAY Me!! Thanksgiving was celebrated in good ol frezzing cold Idaho with Reggies's SIster Vanessa, of course I had to run the 5k turkey trot in -3 temps :) CRAZY COLD!! We spent the day feasting, then had to do some Black Friday Shopping at Mid-night to Walmart! so too many pictures for this post. I realized that if i blogged more often it would be so time consuming... :) So I decided just to catch you up on Christmas and what happened over that holiday!

2010-08-27T12:44:00.008-06:00

I am so behind on my blog. We have had many events since march, maggie turned 3, april easter and miley turned 2, June 3 week trip to cali, July 4th, and just some fun summer stuff! here are just a few pictures of our summer. (Starting with most recent :)

Things that have been in my carpet this week:

2010-03-18T20:45:00.003-06:00

-Fruity Pebbles and milk.

-Dora the explorer yogurt Smoothie.

-Tomato sauce.

-Taco Soup

-Fondant Icing.

-Gold fish.

-Bread Crumbs.

-Pee.

-Milk.

sorry for no posts!

2010-03-16T21:50:00.003-06:00

I hate posting without pictures. I think my blog is boring already and that no one wants to read it, just see the pictures.. Anyway! My camera battery is dead, and i cant find the charger, so i hope to have it ready for Maggie's 3rd bday!! Can't believe she is gonna be 3!! (is it me, or do you hate the fact that blogger doesn't automatically capitalize your "I" s and the first word after a period?!?!) We are currently under construction at my house. My amazing husband, the carpenter, put bead board up in Maggie's room, so hopefully I will have my house back in order for saturday. But i am not getting my hopes up. He really has done an awesome job for not really knowing what to do. I am in desperate need of a house cleaner. I got rid of mine about a year ago, and have been really good about it every week. Since it is my birthday week i think a phone call to my cleaing lady wouldnt hurt!

I have a new favorite show. Modern family. It is absolutely hilarious. I thought that the gay couple would totally bother me and turn me off, but they are too stinkin funny. Oh wow. How i love that show.

Scary incident happend to me yesterday. I was in my room on my computer just looking up cake ideas for Maggie's Birthday Cake, and i Hear the garbage disposal go on and a Bloody scream. My hearts beats out of my chest immediatly and throw the computer off of me . I ran to the kitchen as fast I could to find Miley standing in the sink. 3 spoons were going crazy in the disposal. She was absolutely terrified as was I. It took us both about 20 mintues to calm down. All i could think about was what if her foot slipped in there or her hand?? I immediatly said a prayer of thanks to my Heavenly Father that nothing traumatic happened to her. I have been feeling sick about it ever since.

Well i am rambling. Life is great and we are just so happy. I love my girls to death and they are my joy. I have the most amazing husband in the world, and i need to tell me him that more. We have been so blessed to stay some -what busy in this terrible economy. I have nothing to complain about. And i dont think i should ever complain about anything. I have so many things to be grateful for and they out-weigh the bad.

My goal this week- Think Positive.

8:00 am: Miley Wakes up first. Change her diaper, get her some milk. We cuddle. She asks for Reggie probably 15 times every morning. She eventually gives up after I give her the same response every time. 8:20 Maggie is up. Feed them Cereal. They make a mess.

9:00 am: Really dont remember much of this morning. All a blur. I am pretty sure Maggie watches Dora and the girls fight over their bikes i let them bring in the house. Do my daily blog post. Thats about it.

10:00 am: Call Katie to see what her plans are for the day and asked her if she would go to Gracie Lou's Quilt shop with me. She said yes so i hoped in the shower. ready by 10:45. Leave to go get Katie.

11:00 am: At Gracie Lou's. Cutest Shop ever!! I could spend all day there and be perfectly happy. Chased Miley around to make sure she didn't destroy too much. I find some adorable fabric to make a car seat cover and "pillow case" dresses for the girls. 11:45 leave and take Katie home.

12:00 pm: Reggie is home when we get there, very exciting. I drop off the girls get lunch started at run to the gas station real quick for a Diet Pepsi. Finish Lunch, Reggie Leaves. Clean up the Kitchen so I can start on my project.

1:00 pm: Miley down for her nap. More Dora on for Maggie. Maggie then discovers that I am laying out fabric and insists she helps me. So I let her play with some scraps and get to work on my car seat canopy. So for the next 3 hours I am sewing..

The girls will not stop fighting over their bikes!! Driving me crazy, but i just ignore them. I need to get this done so can put it all away. Finally 4:45 officially done. If i didnt have kids in my way, the project would have taken only 2 hours.

5:00 pm: Trying to decide what to have for dinner. I dont want to go to the grocery store this week, so i am trying to use up all my options at home. Frozen Pizza and Nachos is whats for dinner!

6:00 pm: Reggie Leaves to go teach Temple Prep classes to our neighbors. Girls get in the tub. I then decide to deliver our primary CDs to people that havnt picked them up. The girls enjoyed riding around the neighborhood without having to be in their car seats and knocking on doors. The last stop was our next door neighbors, so we stayed a while and let the kids play. My Girls adore their kids.

7:00 pm: Reggie is home, I leave him with the girls for Sewing night! Yay, we made these really cute Pillow Case Dresses. They are darling. I will take pictures with them in it on sunday!

8:00 pm: Still sewing

9:00 pm: Still Sewing

(she has the GIANT red Ford pickup, that sounds like a Jet). We have her truck because Katie is taking Sheri's bike into the shop for her. (p.s. i told sheri the day before the bike was fine and didnt need work because Reggie had been using it, oh well) Wipe Miley's nose. Drive to a bike shop in American Fork. I live in Spanish fork. AF is like 25 minutes away. We pass 10 bike shops a long the way.

12:00 pm: get to the bike shop, Katie take it in. In the mean time Miley has fallen asleep. Poor baby :( not feeling well and I am the awful mom that insited I got out of the house today.

Finally 12:55 done! On the freeway call Reggie. He refuses to eat anywhere we want to. He finally gives in to eat the Cafe Rio.

1:00 pm: Driving to Cafe Rio in orem. He calls me 3 times and texts me 20 times while we are in the parking lot. We are not expert truck parkers. it took us 10 minutes to park the **** thing!
When we got in he ordered for me because he wasnt patient enough to wait for us. He got me a Pork Salad.. I wanted chicken. oh well. Eat.

2:00 pm: Finally done with lunch, Leave for the Mall. Go to Thai Pan, a home decor store, Buy a jewelry stand. walk around, let the kids play at the play place.

3:00 pm: Kids still playing. I must take a second and rant about parents. There is this girls sitting and the top of the slide and wont go down. No parent in sight. Finally the Sloppy dad walks on over the try and reason with this 2 yr old. She wont go down. If it were me I would yank my kid off, so others could go down. Well she still sat there with a line of 10 kids waiting patiently for a chance to go down the slide. He helps her slide down where she just sits at the bottom of the slide. Pick your **** kid up and move her!!!!! UGH! Parents. This poor girl looked like she had eaten way too many happy meals and had yesterdays lunch still on her face. Wipe your kids face. EWWW. The dad was wearing a BYU shirt. That explains everything :) Finally wrestle them to leave. 3:45 Back to the Dry Cleaners (Reggie's brother owns it, and Sheri mananges it) to give Sheri her turck back, switch the car seats to katies car.

4:00 pm: Leave the dry cleaners. home :) do a load of laundry. Girls just relax from their day out. Fold more laundry. Wipe Miley's nose

6:00 pm: Call reggie. No answer. Start making some bacon and French toast sticks I had for the girls. Text Reggie at 6:10 to see if he was in at meeting, he replied "yeh." Well that would have been nice to know! text him back and ask when he will be home. He does not respond. Girls spilled red juice on my barstools because they cant stay OFF the counter!!! UGH! I am so irritated that I get rid of my digusting bar stools until I can re-cover the fabric and now they will no longer have a way to get on the counter. I am sure they will find another way sooner or later. He calls at 6:27. I tell him to stop at the store for bread and milk. Finish making the bacon. He is home at 6:50. He walks in the house with no bags and on the phone. I ask where the food is and he is like oh ya, in the truck. Lame. Already irritated at my kids.

7:00 pm: Eat dinner. Still irritated. Counting down the time till I get to leave for my presidency meeting at 7:30. 7:20 Reggie gets the girls in the bath. Yay!! 7:30 is here! Leave for my meeting. At this point I dont care when the kids go to bed, as long as they are alseep before i get home.

8:00 pm: Meeting.

5:00 am: Sleep

6:00 am: Sleep, Reggie up at 6:45 for work

7:00 am: Sleep

8:00 am: Wake up to Miley, changer her soaking diaper. Get her some milk. Lay on the couch and Cuddle for a while.

9:00 am: Maggie up and change her diaper. Feed both girls breakfast, fight again over Turkey Sandwiches, I win, they eat cereal. Jump on the computer, and think about how I have nothing planned for the day.

10:00 am: Get a text From a neighbor needing me to watch her little boy, I say YES! Something to do today. Make Beds (p.s. love my new sheets, so soft :) and get house picked up. Maggie bugs me for a turkey Sandwich again. Well tough luck girl! I am out of bread. Her and Miley both get slices of turkey and cheese for a mid morning snack.

11:00am: Go to the bank, girls must have a sucker. Home, eat lunch around 11:45. Do a load of laundry.

12:00 pm: cant really remember what i did... oh ya I ordered a purse from Zappos. I have to do sharing time on sunday, so i looked on the internet for some good ideas and looked thru books. 12:45 carter comes over! He is sooo stinking cute! Just love that little boy. He is right between my 2 girls so the all play really well .

1:00 pm: Kids playing really well.. don't even notice Carter is at my house. Put dinner in the crockpot. (chicken with spinach and artichoke dip poured on top.. sounded good??) 1:30 Carters mom is back. 1:45 leave for a different bank for Reggie.

2:00 pm: Meet Reggie at the gas station, go to the bank. Miley has fallen asleep now. Hope she will stay asleep when I transfer her to her crib.... 2:30 home... Miley wakes up, But I put her in bed hoping she will go back to sleep.

3:00 pm: Miley still talking in her crib, Maggie decided to stand by Miley's door and talk to her. Thanks Maggie! Miley is up! Down to the computer again. Back up stairs Dont remember much of this hour...

4:00 pm: Get the bright idea to take the girls outside. The sun is very deceiving. Looks warm... oh but its not! Get Miley dressed warm, Fight with Maggie. She insists on wearing her Minnie Mouse SUN dress, flip flops, and a light jacket. We argue for 15 minutes until I tell her she cant come out of her room until she is dressed warm with pants, shoes and socks, and a WARM jacket. 4:30, she gives in. Finally outside to play. I get a text from Reggie saying he has to go do Baptisms with the Young Men. Dang, there goes my chance of going to the Gym. We walk down the street to a "park." (its a big hole in the neighborhood) Play with the girls, roll down the hill, and i pull them in the wagon and hike back up. Since I didn't go to the gym, I figured this would be my workout. Finally convince the girls its time togo.

5:00 pm: Called Reggie, Called Reggie again, Called Reggie again. No answer. Start our trek home. See a sad dog, he must be really old, the girls stop and say hi for probably 10 minutes, run to the house of the dog owner, they doorbell ditch, (well they ran up to the a house, miley knocked and Maggie rang to doorbell, i quickly chased after them so they wouldn't door bell ditch, and brought them back to the wagon) Reggie calls! I beg him to come pick us up because at this moment I feel like I will never get home. He says he will be there in 3 minutes. 3 minutes pass and we have made it 10 feet on our walk. Reggie shows up. He had just gotten out of the shower, no wonder he didnt answer my many phone calls to him. Girls into the car, I finish the walk home by pulling the wagon and Maggie's Bike. Fight the girls to go inside the house. Reggie finishes getting ready. 5:25 he leaves. I make some rice to go with dinner. Turned our OK. Nothing i would ever make again. Cleaned up

6:00 pm: Hung out with the girls, Played, watched some TV, Dont really know what else we did.

7:00 pm: Still hanging out. 7:30 in the tub. PJ's on and time for reading. Read lots of books. 7:59 Reggie calls saying he is on his way home.

8:00 pm: Miley in bed. 8:15 lay with Maggie and read more books trying to get her in bed. 8:50 Reggie home. Ya, i thought the Provo temple is only 15 minutes aways... oh ya thats right, they stopped and the BYU creamery... lame. He didn't bring me home anything :( Maggie still talking in her bed, Reggie goes in and brings her out! Thanks, all my hard work to keep her in there and make her fall asleep did not pay off! Start American Idol.

9:00 pm: More AI :) Maggie still awake, 9:40 Maggie in bed, she is still awake, but i tell her i will be right back to lay down with her. Check back on her in 2 minutes and she is out.

10:00 pm: Watch 24 on Reggie's Lap top. 10:45 Sleep.

2010-02-08T14:53:00.005-07:00

12 am: sleep

1 am: sleep

2 am: sleep

3 am: sleep

4 am: sleep

5 am: sleep, 5:45 Reggie up to go to the gym.

6 am: sleep 6:45, Reggie home and showers

7 am: sleep Reggie leaves for work.

8 am: sleep till 8:30, and both girls are still alseep! Maggie up at about 8:45 (she slept in her bed the entire night!)

9 am: Miley up, change diapers. fight with Maggie about breakfast. She says she wants a Turkey Sandwich. I say no. They both get cereal. I eat Chocolate Cheerios! Yum! and good for you :) Call the gym to schedule a time for the daycare. Call Katie to see if she wants to come. she says yes. hurry and get the girls ready. fight again with Maggie over her outfit. Finally she is in something decent. Load in the car and off to the gym.

10 am: Drop girls off at the gyms daycare. they went just fine. Worked out.

11 am: still working out. Go get the girls around 11:20, once they see me they both start crying, but they were just fine when i got there... weird. Head home. Reggie calls and says he needs his Birth Certificate and SS card for his CDL license ... So i head to Orem with 2 starving girls and meet him.

12 pm: Head back home and stop at Mcdonalds. Let the girls play and have lunch, 12:45 home, and head downstairs to the computer.

1 pm: sitting on the computer, Shopping on ZAppos, Facebooking, Blogging, and checking Emails, while the girls are destroying the basement, going thru old clothes. I am a bad mom, just ignoring them letting them do whatever. oh well.

2pm: Wow, still on the computer... Put Bolt on for Maggie, Put Miley down for a nap, head back to the computer to read more blogs and i decide to start this wonderful idea of blogging about my days! lets see if i can keep this up!

3 pm: Realize its 3 and i am wasting my day away... So go clean my Bathrooms. I have to be sneaky about this. I cant let Maggie know i am cleaning, or else she will insist on helping me only to make my cleaning process that much longer. I deceived her for only 10 minutes. While cleaning i realized some important details i left on my blog post, so I immediately go to the computer and make the changes.. Back to cleaning. 3:40 miley wakes up... did she even sleep for an hour?? Maybe for as long Bolt was on, so I guess that was good enough.

4 pm: Finally make it to clean the girls bathroom. Get that done while I put on Monster House. I know, I am terrible I let my girls watch too much TV, only so I can get things done, But it usually doesn't work. They feel they have the need to be at my hip 24/7. Dust the entire house. do a load of laundry, start my movie I rented friday night (Love Happens) fold laundry (if I am watching something on TV i get it folded much faster). 4:45 maggie wont stop bugging me for a turkey sandwich. Guess she didn't eat much Mcdonalds. Pause my movie and I make both girls a sandwich. (they ate the entire thing)

5 pm: Finish folding laundry, get it put away. Get Vacuum out and Hallelujah! Reggie walks in the door about 5:20! He plays with the girls while I vacuum the entire house. Find him in the kitchen searching for something to eat. I had not planned dinner cuz I was too busy blogging and cleaning. I eat left over dips (salsa, cheese ball, and spinach artichoke dip) and Reggie eats 3 frozen burritos. (i know you are thinking we are so healthy:) I promise I do cook most every night!!

6 pm: Finish eating and clean up "dinner." Reggie get the girls in the bath while I run out to Ross to get some much needed sheets! (we have a big fat hole in ours). stop at the gas station to buy a bottle of water and ended up getting popcorn too :) I spend lots of time looking around for things I don't need. I am proud of my shopping trip. I bought Sheets, 2 pillows, and a board to hold the girls hair clips :)

7 pm: I walk to TJ max to see if I missed out on anything there, but nah. I do like to shop at stores like Ross and TJ Max, but I am just not a digger... i can never find great things. Head back home to find Reggis asleep on the couch and both girls awake! The girls immediatly dig into my bags assuming they got something. Well, they sorta got something (the clip holder) and were actually pretty excited to put their clips on it!

8 pm: Miley to bed! She cries for about 5 minutes, but then gives up and falls asleep :) Wash my NEW sheets. Start my movie back up with Maggs by my side. 8:45, Maggies sheets were dry, so I put her bed back together. Switch my sheets to the dryer, back to the couch with Maggs and listen to Reggie snore on the couch and watch my movie. ( I will not explain Maggie's sleeping habits. She has been like this since the day she was born. Never on a schedule and I dont think she will ever be. Partially my fault. But I really blame Reggie. She is stubborn just like him)

9 pm: Still watching movie and Maggie is still awake. 9:20, Maggie asks me to go lay down with her in her bed, so i put her in bed and she is out in 2 minutes. Quickly put my new sheets on the bed, perfect timing because Reggie just slept walked into our room. Back to my movie. finally finished at 9:50. Not as good as I thought. Waste of my $4. Then Down to the computer to blog.

10 pm: Blog, check Face book, and check my email. Finally Shower for the day :)

11 pm: sleep

Sunday, February 7, 2010

12 am: watching pointless late night tv, and finally go to bed.

1 am: sleep

2 am: sleep

3 am: sleep

4 am: sleep

5 am: Maggie's usual late night stroll into our room, and I am so tired, that I pick her up and put her in our bed, but it takes me a good 45 minutes to go back to sleep. I am debating in my mind to go set out butter and cream cheese so it will be soft for when i get up to make a cheese ball for the Superbowl....

6 am: sleep

7 am: sleep

8 am: Thankfully my kids like to sleep in past 8 usually, so this morning in am up at 8:15 to find everyone STILl asleep and reggie to be missing. He usually goes to the couch when maggie gets in our bed, but he wasn't there. I then find him in Maggie's Bed. Miley and Maggie both up soon after.

9am: Reggie gets a call from the Young Mens president saying that there are enough men to do fast offerings, so reggie agrees to go do this, leaving me home alone till church to feed the girls, get me and 2 girls ready for church and make a cheese ball. So i start by making the cheese ball.

10 am: Cheese ball Finished I hurry and do the girls hair and fight with maggie on what to wear. She is very difficult when it comes to this. She only wants to wear MILEY's Pajamas. Erg. But I win of course and she wears a cute dress. In the mean time I am praying reggie will be able to come home soon to occupy the girls while I finish getting ready. 10:20 in the shower, luckily I washed my hair the day before, so that took off 30 minutes of getting ready time. I tell the girls to get their church bag, they bring it to me and proceed to dump everything out in my bathroom. eerrg!!! REGGIE REALLY NEEDS TO GET HOME! i hurry and put everything back, throw on a skirt and top, run a brush through my hair and out the door by 10:50. K, so my church is a block away, so you would think leaving at 10:58 would be fine, but leaving at 10:50 is LATE! you cant find a seat. (there are almost 650 people in our ward, and 150 primary kids) So here I am driving my husbands lifted truck, wearing high heels and trying to get 2 kids out of it and both of them wanting to walk and doddle through the parking lot! UGH, not happy with Reggie right about now. Finally make it into church, luckily hasn't started yet, so i see 2 rows in the soft seats open, walk up holding 2 big bags ( i am in the primary presidency so 1 bag for primary stuff and 1 for the girls crap they need to keep them occupied for the hour of sacrament) dragging my girls behind me, only to find that those seats are saved by people not there yet!!! HATE THAT!!!! so I walk back to the hard seats sit down, only to find my children escaping out the doors as i chase them both down the hall SO MAD! Reggie still no where to be found. Back in the sacrament room, sit down and how conveniently Reggie walked in.

11 am: Ask Reggie for the key to my car to go get my lipstick. (my lips felt naked and i don't feel complete without it on) Sacrament meeting started. Kids were actually good for the most part. Since it was fast Sunday Maggie asked if i was "gonna go up there" I said no. (she doesnt understand why people are going up there :) She asked the strangers behind us if they were "gonna go up there" they laughed and said no :) she asked me about 4 other times, I said no:) Miley got a little out of hand, Reggie took her out for "time out" she came back in like an angel :)

12 pm: Testimony meeting still going. Escape during the closing hymn with Miley to go help set up Primary. CRAZY! There are sooo many kids. Take girls to Nursery. Secretary tells me she is sick, so i take over her jobs for the day. Walking up and down halls in heels is a great work out just so you know!

1 pm: More secretary stuff.

2 pm: Church is over! get girls hand them to Reggie. Stop and help clean up primary only to find Reggie left with both of the bags which had my keys in it!! So i find my neighbor and ask for a ride. Get in her car while reggie pulls up with my keys :) guess he didn't forget! Get home and start making food for superbowl with my brother. Make Salsa and Spinach Artichoke Dip! DELICIOUS!! Try and lay miley down, only to realize we would be leaving soon for the game, so she gets out of her nap!

3 pm: Clean up, eat, and sit for a minute!

4 pm: Get everything together and leave for Chad and Kelli's house for the game. kickoff started and watch the Superbowl!

5 pm: so from here on out dont remember exact details, just watching the game!

6 pm: more game

7 pm: more game..... Only to find the SAINTS WIN!!!! YAY!!! So happy :) I am a big Reggie Bush fan :) head home fighting the girls

8 pm: Get the kids ready for bed Miley is beat... But screams for 15 minutes in her crib until Reggie goes and gets her. SHe falls asleep in his arms. (sucker) Maggie wont stop bugging me for a turkey sandwich, so i make her one and she eats the entire thing. Guess she was hungary. I pick up the house and CLEAN my kitchen.

9 pm: Branden leaves, I say i am going to bed. Get in bed, Reggie brings maggie into our room!!!!!!!!! she is still awake and he doesnt want to put her in her bed cuz she will cry and wake up miley! lame. Miley wakes up crying anyway (think she is just tooo exhausted) I go lay in MAGGIEs bed with her and fall alseep.

10 pm: sleep, only to wake up and put Miley in her crib, go back to my bed, get Maggie and put her in her bed :)

11 pm: sleep.

Lots of Posts done today!

2010-01-12T22:28:00.006-07:00

So I am tired and I want to go to bed. So I decided to not do separate posts and just put the rest of my random pictures on one post! (read on, there are 2 more posts after this one! I know you are super excited to see them!)

I have to explain the next 3 Pictures. I was going through all the girls baby clothes for my sis Kiahna who just had a beautiful new baby girl, and Maggie found some that she liked! These are all 0-12 month sizes!!!! The pants are 0-3 months... she is a twig!

you can see where the top is suppose to snap at the bottom where that V is! If I was more creative, I would try and find a picture of her in that sweater when she was 6 months old.. but nah...

They Love the snow!

Their Christmas Dresses!! I must say, EVERYONE at church thought they were the most adorable girls! EVERYONE kept complimenting me on their skirts! Someone even asked if I made them... hahahahahaha

Ok, So forgive me for not being a very good Blogger and Mom. We spent Christmas in cali, and after our trip to Disneyland my camera battery was dead and I didnt have the Charger, so Christmas morning was just recorded on video camera. So here are some before Christmas pictures. They are all of Maggie because I was not going to make Toffee with Miley awake! Maggie was such a great helper and had a lot of fun! Her knew thing is Singing! She loves to sing Best of Both Worlds! She has that song down- and she will always have a mic in her hand while doing it!

She took this picture by herself! (you can see her arms sticking out holding the camera!)
Future Candy Maker!

Christmas at Disneyland!

2010-01-12T21:51:00.006-07:00

The Start of our Magical day!

Classic tram ride to the park!

Love the Christmas decor, It made the
Trip that much more amazing! Uncle Branden
also came along for the ride!

The Picture does not do the castle justice!

Please dont hate on the leashes! We didnt have a stroller (i know we cold have rented one) and I was not going to risk losing my child in that mad house!
They loved every minute of the tea cups!

The castle all lite up! It was so MAGICAL! and I cant even describe the fireworks... WOW!!!
Haunted Mansion!

By this point, Maggie was sooo exhausted.. but she managed to come up with these adorable cheesy smiles! The last ride of the day of DUMBO!

Loved these pictures of miley- She looks so little in Dumbo!

So, I have done 4 posts today. Read on!

2009-11-15T21:29:00.003-07:00

This post is totally out of order. This is 1 week ago when there was no snow at our house.

Miley shouldnt be driving. It is the funniest thing to watch her drive into things, in circles, and get stuck. And the neighbor girl Maddie just loves going for rides!

So I was gone all day at Volleyball state tournament and I come home and I can't find anyone, then I find Reggie riding around in the empty lot by our house with Maggie. Guess this is what happens when you leave your kids all day!

Baby Shower

2009-11-15T21:20:00.002-07:00

Saturday I had a baby shower at my house for my BFF Leslie! I am soo excited she is having a little boy in January. We almost didn't get to have a shower for her cause she is living in Texas, and almost couldnt make it up to Utah. But she did! It turned out great! So this cake i made, i want ooohhs and aaahhhs in my commets! I did this (with the help of my awesome neighbors, 1 who had a degree in culinary arts)! It was soo much work, like Iam not even got tell you! you would die if you really new. It looks small, but it was actually really big. It was Vanilla cake, with strawberry filling, with Fondant icing. It turned out as good as it looks :) It was a great shower, and I was so happy to do it for you Leslie!

Christmas Lights and Snow!

2009-11-15T21:01:00.004-07:00

K, So I had Reggie convinced that Christmas Lights must go up on our house! Yeah! We have never had them, and living in Utah you need to get them up early or else you are putting them up in this! Reggie started at noon that day. It was nice out side, but in a matter of minutes it got way ugly! Blizzard! It was too funny cuz i couldnt get him to stop, he said he already had them out, so he was going to do it!(I really wish I had a picture of that!) He is soo stubborn. Well he got 1 strand up and quit. To Freakin cold. Our neighbor was supposed to be helping earlier, but he was too busy watching the BYU football game. But later that night Reg decided to tackle the job and finish it, with the help of our neighbor! Thanks! The kids had a blast playing in our first snow of the year!

Reggie up there, Cant see him that well

Maggs loved the snow!

Maggs and Ty

Our Neighbors Sweet girl, who is Mileys
age, Brianna. She is sooo adorable! Just love
that little girl!

All 4 Kids!

Haircuts!

2009-11-15T20:43:00.002-07:00

So last week I decided to take the girls to get their haircuts with Aunt Katie! They loved every minute of it! They were actually really good, Maggie just sat still and let Katie to the work! Miley was a little tough to work with, but we battled it out! When we left Maggie said "I wanna do dat again!"

Well, you cant tell but Miley has this horrible
swirly cow lick right in the middle of her for head!
She is not gonna like that when she is older!

Halloween

2009-11-01T13:10:00.005-07:00

This Month has seriously flown by! I have been so busy with coaching, that I have been neglecting my blog! Earlier this month we had an Adult costume party, and unfortunately i have no pictures. My friends do, so hopefully i can get some from them! Here are the girls on Halloween! They were such good trick or treaters and thought that they had to eat every piece of candy, but they listened and had to wait till they got home to eat some! Maggie was none other than the famous "Hannah Montana" and Miley was an adorable witch, who refused to wear the hat that grandma so urgently rushed in the mail!! Little stinker!

I WANT MY BLANKET!

OK, Much better!

Maggie and Cowboy Cole

Dallas Sky Skiing like 100 feet behind the boat. The guys thought
That it was hilarious. Maybe dangerous?!!?
(You can barely see the rope in the water, They tied like 5 ropes
Together to make it that long)

Dallas i think! He is still alive

Reggie and Chad... Not sure how high the cliff was.
Reggie cliff jumping again.

They like to push people off the boat, I guess its funny?!?

THe whole week this is what they did to make us laugh!

I jumped off this one! Thats as high as I would go!

No Kids. Lots of Fun. Thats all there is to say :)

Reason #2 For Why I Need a CAMERA!

2009-08-20T14:12:00.004-06:00

So I was getting ready this morning to go out with my friend Amy and her adorable boys to go to Jumpin' Jacks, and my house is VERY quiet. Which is completely not normal for 2 girls that are 2 and 1. I walk through the hallway shouting "Maggie, what are you doing?" I hear a pound on the floor (which was her jumping off the counter, I know she is crazy.) I asked her what she was doing, and she told me she was getting a cup and a straw because she was thirsty.

(this is why she was thirsty)

I then look at her face to see that she is covered in chocolate. HMMM I think to myself. Then I look at the counter and there lies a plate full of Hershey's Chocolate syrup and the syrup bottle itself. The little stinker had opened the fridge all by herself which I had no clue she could do and climbed in and got the bottle out herself. This is why I need a CAMERA!!! I am always catching my kids hiding in corners with things they shouldn't have, such as gum. (Later that day I found the 2 of them in the corner squirting hand sanitizer all over themselves.) They are soo very sneaky! I just need to capture these moments on camera!

So I told Maggie that she needs to ask for things, she said "but mommy I 'wike' chocolate." - I know Maggie, I do to.

I NEED A CAMERA!!!

2009-08-19T12:26:00.003-06:00

So this summer has flown by and I realized I have been neglecting my blog only because I don't have a decent camera! Many of you have been able to see some pictures thanks to my sisters camera, but all of the blurry ones are from a camera/video camera combo. So here is a little history on the cameras in our family:

-Reggie bought me my first digital pocket camera when we were dating in December of '04. Since Maggie has been born.. the camera has gone to crap because Reggie used it for work. We were able to replace it but it takes like 5 years to take a picture, so by the time the picture is actually taken its blurry cuz the kids have moved, and it just doesnt work any more.
-Camera 2 was purchased by Reggie again (another point and shoot.) A red one to be exact. That camera has also been used for work. And that camera still is a piece of crap.
-For my birthday on '08 Reggie purchased a video camera. It works GREAT for video taping, but the pictures are crap. Its not even worth posting a picture cuz you cant even tell who is in it.
-I for sure though Christmas of '08 was my year to get an awesome camera.. dont care what brand, just as long as it was a big and nice one and when you clicked to take the picture it would immediately take it. When Christmas morning came I watched Reggie open presents and I didnt open a single present (don't worry, reggie has gotten enough crap for that Christmas, valentines, and Mothers day. Lets hope he has learned his lesson.) So later Christmas morning Reggie proceeds to tell me that store did not have to camera and it is being shipped so it should be here in the next week. Well I hate to tell you Reggie, but you either lied or the post office lost it! Still aint here!!!!!!!!

Well of course when I bug Reggie about getting a camera, he blames ME for all the camera problems.

Will you PLEASE tell him that a video camera is not a camera? And the RED camera was purchased for work??? I think I will have a much cuter blog and everyone will be able to see my 2 beautiful girls!!! Maybe ill even digi scrap!

I have no title

2009-08-03T22:30:00.003-06:00

This week I will be going to California for a funeral of a family friend. Debbie Austin passed away on July 30. She was only 21. This tragic loss has come as a shock to all and is extremely upsetting for me because it is my best friends (Leslie's) little sister.

Here are some fond memories from our childhood of the 3 of us girls:

-Playing Box car "girls" in your front yard.

-Debbie always got first pick of "poobies" aka little people (poobies is an Austin nickname.)

-Playing mermaids in the pool and soo many other fun games.

-How debbie always managed to get out of the hardest saturday chores, and Leslie having to do her own chores on top of Debbie's.

-Me and Debbie locking Leslie in her room using a Nintendo remote control cord. And then later got a lecture from her Dad on "what is means to be a friend/sister."

-Leslie, Debbie, and Me singing in the ward talent show all wearing the same outfit. (cant remember the song.. what was it leslie?) I have a picture to prove it!

-How you always made us watch a home video of you when you were like 3 at Big meadow being soo cute.

-All the memories of girls camp and family camp at Big Meadow.

-Trick or Treating with you every year in the Austins neighborhood.

-All those saturday BYU games we spent at our house. Everytime we would hear the adults scream really loud , we all would do the same even though we had no clue what was going on in the game :)

-Making the FUNNIEST movies with Adam, Leslie, Debbie, and Me.

-You never getting into trouble, it was always Leslie's fault.

-Spending the night at your house on the Eve of Christmas Eve.

-The thousands of night you spent at my house.

-The thousands of nights I spent at your house.

-Late night runs to Taco Bell in high school.

-Going to Rite Aid to buy stuff to decorate Leslie and Keiths car for their wedding, and returning to the church to find out that some one else was already doing it LOL.

-Being the best wedding book/gift taker at my wedding.

-The last phone call I got from you was when I was in bakersfield (in May) and you were giving me a hard time for not coming to visit you... oh how I wish I did.

Debbie I loved ya girl! You would do anything for anyone. You had a heart of Gold. I am going to miss you so very much, You were the little sister I never had. I know that I will one day be able to see you again. Until we meet again.

Happy Anniversary!

2009-06-17T09:50:00.004-06:00

2009-05-06T09:58:00.003-06:00

Flower arranging is something I have always wanted to do, but I have never been taught. So for mothers day My mother in-law said she wanted something for her kitchen table. So I decided to tackle the task and make this arrangement. My friend Amy and I went to Tai Pan and picked some flowers and put it together! She was such a great help and taught me a lot! It turned out amazing (at least I think so:) Thanks so much AMY!!! (Sorry, my camera still sucks)

Happy First Birthday Miley!!

2009-04-14T08:29:00.005-06:00

I cannot Believe that Miley is 1! This year has had its ups and downs with having kids not even 13 months apart! But the older they get, the easier it has been. Miley has been such a great baby and a much better sleeper than her sister Maggie! Her birthday party was so much fun! She got so many great things! Thanks everyone! We had an Easter Egg Hunt in my basement because spring weather in Utah is Terrible!! the Rain put a damper on having it outside. But, the rain didnt stop the Easter Bunny from making a special trip to the party! Kendra and her family were able to stay with us for the week and my Mom and Dad came up for Easter Weekend! Happy Birthday Miley!!

2 and 24!

2009-03-23T11:49:00.006-06:00

These past two weeks we have been celebrating Maggies 2nd Birthday! This girl is spoiled! We went to California for a week while Reggie was in Mexico (thankfully he made it back safely!) While in Cali we went to the Happiest Place on Earth!! We had a blast! Trying to get her to get off the rides was a nightmare, but she was a trooper the entire day. Luckily we never lost her thanks to my handy Monkey Leash! Then we celebrated Trevor's 3rd, Maggies 2nd, and Miley's 1st Birthdays with family and friends! What a blast! Then on the day of her birthday (the 18th) we went to an awesome indoor pool in lehi and Chuck E Cheese that night! She was worn out. But of course the party didn't stop there, the next day we went to The Hogle Zoo with Emily, Talina, and their kids, and Kerri and Taycee! We had a lot of fun chasing those kids around. Maggie loved everything about it! Friday was my birthday and Reggie took me out to a yummy Restaurant in Heber and surprised me by inviting some of our great friends! What a night! He also got me some awesome gifts :). The week ended with Maggie's party at home. We rolled out the Red Carpet for our special guest Hannah Montana! (thanks em ;) THanks everyone for all of the gifts! Maggie Loves all the Hannah stuff, the Clothes and the Slides!! Thanks a million! It was so much fun! I think we are officially Hannah Montanaed out! Oh an Miley is walking!

Oh P.S. My camera is not the best sorry! If you are friends with my sister Kendra on Facebook, she has more pics of Disneyland and my cali trip!

Phrase of the Day

2009-02-18T09:25:00.001-07:00

Maggie: "Hey mommy Shake your booty, shake your booty" (while she is saying that she is shaking her booty. I think she got it from her cousin Ryan :)

New Bed

2009-02-09T20:48:00.005-07:00

So I decided that since Maggie started to climb out of her crib, we should turn it into a toddler bed. I still don't know if that was a good idea, but oh well. Maggie just loves her new bed (well jumping on it I mean.) It has been like this for almost a week, and she still has not fallen asleep in it. Every night she insists on watching Hannah Montana in our bed until she falls asleep. I know, some of you probably think I am horrible because I allow it and/or give into her crying. (cut us some slack, you always give into your first, that's where you can make your mistakes, then you correct them with your second kid!) Anyway, after she falls asleep, we carry her into her "new bed." Some nights she ends up back in our bed somehow!

Miley loves her bed too!

Best Purchase Ever!

2009-01-21T19:16:00.005-07:00

Ok, so for those of you who don't get to see me on a daily/weekly basis, you wouldn't know that Maggie is obsessed with Hannah Montana and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. She just goes crazy at the sight of anything Hannah Montana. So we were at the Disney Store and I found this great bag that of course had Hannah on it. It was only .99 Cents! She has not stopped carrying that thing around! I wish I would have known that before Christmas and then I would not have spent $150 on her Kitchen! Dont get me wrong, she loves to play with her kitchen but this bag has consumed her! Now not only does she have the bag, But sweet Aunt Kerri bought her a Hannah Montana pillow and calender! Maggie is just loving life.

Also I thought I would talk about Miley! She is growing like a weed, is already 9 months. I am so sad this stage is going to be over soon! She is quickly following in her sisters footsteps. Maggie just got over pulling things out of cupboards/drawers and now I am going through it all over again My house will soon be a tornado zone. Both girls are so much fun and I love them so much! They both bring a smile to my face every day!

See She is also standing!

Reggie's Birthday Present from me.

For Reggies birthday we had a two Free night stay at the south point hotel, So we went and had a blast! Josh and Kendra went with us too and Josh taught Reggie a few things on the craps table and we won over $800 bucks! We had a blast! We also were able to see the Cirque Du Soleil show called Mysterie! It was amazing! Talk about a fun weekend!

A little over due

Maggie got into my makeup! Doesnt She look beautiful?

Sorry all of my loyal bloggers... Life has been so busy! Before even Halloween my sister in-law had her baby boy Drew, Reggie's Brother Rowdy got married, and This thanksgiving we were able to go to my hometown of Bakersfield and visit with my fam! Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of that trip! I stayed for over a week and made candy with my sister, mom and grandma, and went to visited my other sister and her family in Ridgecrest! It was such a fun trip! Ever since i have been back, life has been on the go. When I got back, it was up to Logan, UT for Rowdy and Katie's Open House, Then I finally got all of my decorations up (that was dec 7, a little late there.) Visited with Santa at the mall, and just catching up on everything! But this time of year is always so fun. It is always filled with memories, and most importantly, the Savior. Have I mentioned I have not done one ounce of Christmas Shopping?!?!?

Too Funny!

Hopefully we wont have another kid by then!

Ducks

2008-09-03T08:40:00.005-06:00

My next door neighbor and I decided to go have lunch and take the kids to feed the ducks. Although it was a little cold the kids had a blast and Maggie had no fear whatsoever. She scared me few times because I thought she was gonna fall in the water. I tried so hard to get a cute picture of her and Cole, but it didnt work out!

Cole

Feeding the ducks her chips.... Very Healthy!

Miley

2008-09-03T08:31:00.003-06:00

I realized that a lot of my posts do not include Miley. So here are just some pics of my sweet baby girl. She is almost 5 months old! I can't believe how fast this summer went by... Doesn't she look just like Reggie.. Thats a good thing right?

All by herself!

2008-09-03T08:24:00.003-06:00

Maggie decided that she wanted to get herself dressed today! (sorry the pitures are a little blury, my camera is not the best) I just love that little girl so much! I dont go a day without laughing at something she did!

Already Reading

2008-09-03T08:12:00.004-06:00

Maggies new found favorite thing to do is to look at books. So she decided to sit in her walker and read a book. I didnt get my camera out in time so this was all I got on tape!

It's been a while...

2008-08-24T18:18:00.008-06:00

Sorry, it has taken me so long to update, ever since we got back from montana I have been really busy! So here is a little update: Maggie is 17 months...Yeah almost time for nursery! Miley is 4 months and is rolling all over the place. Not too exciting around the household. I started coaching volleyball at Springville high school and I am loving it! And hopefully we will be getting a yard in soon!

Crazy Life

Sick kids

2008-06-30T22:05:00.003-06:00

Miley's new love, her two middle fingers. I took her to the doctor today because she had a cold. Turned out, she has a little ear infection. On thursday we are flying to cali, so I hope that by then her ear infection will be gone and the plane ride wont be to terrible for her! Maggie is also kinda sick she is teething! awww!
I also thought I would throw this picture in. I caught Maggie in the swing with Miley. I just know they are going to be best friends!

Fun Weekend

2008-06-30T21:59:00.003-06:00

Anniversary

2008-06-18T07:31:00.002-06:00

Yesterday we celebrated our 3rd anniversary! Wow! 3 years have gone by so fast. I never imagined that I would have two kids already! We spent the evening eating at Ruths Chris Steakhouse in Park City. We had a blast and he got me a giftcard to Nordstrom, like my Favorite place to shop! Can't complain about that!

2008-06-11T07:29:00.001-06:00

Here are just some fun pictures of us just hanging out with my future cheerleaders! We finally allowed maggie to hold her.. it was just too cute!

Hope it is not broken!!

2008-06-11T07:23:00.002-06:00

Maggies new favorite thing to do is climb on everything!! Being a mom of a 2 month old and a 15 month old is very hard... so I have to let her get away with some things to keep my sanity... i hope the dishwasher isn't broken! (dont mind the messy counter top)

Baby Blessing

2008-06-10T20:59:00.003-06:00

Sorry it has been so long since my last post... things have been crazy at the Hakes' house! Last Sunday we blessed Miley, and it was such a wonderful day! Following that we had a fun picnic at the park! We have also had a houseful of people as well! I am so exicted that Sydney (my niece) will be staying with me for the next week! Yeah, free babysitter!!!

Collect Call

2008-05-27T07:42:00.002-06:00

So this morning at 7:00 I hear my cell phone ringing. I am extremely hesitant to get up because i had been up all night with Miley.... but i get up. I said "Hello" no one answered. I said "Hello" again. Then an automated voice came on the phone saying "You have a collect call from 'Reggie. ' an inmate at the Utah County Jail. To deny, just hang up or to accept the call press 5" So being the wonderful wife I am, I pressed 5. Well apparently early this morning he was pulled over for his trailer not having a license plate, and he had a warrant out for his arrest. Now don't think that my husband is a felon, he just doesn't believe in paying his past tickets. I Dont know how many times I have told him to pay his stupid tickets, and that one day i will be bailing him out... he never listens. He is probably the most stubborn person I know. So he proceeds to tell me that he needs $400 and i needed to go get him at the Spanish Fork station. Well, both girls were still asleep... so I Called his mom at the Dry Cleaning Depot. She was laughing and then handed the phone to Allen (his brother), and he decided he would call Dallas (his other brother) and so they went and bailed him out. So instead of Reggie paying $80 for the original ticket, he will pay $400 for the ticket and $200 to get his truck out of the impound. I know he is going to get a lot of teasing for this! but don't worry, Reggie wasn't scared because that wasn't the first time he has been arrested!!

MY NEW OBSESSION

2008-05-20T13:01:00.002-06:00

Ok, so I have only had my blog for one day and I am obsessed! I love looking at everyones blogs. I was changing Miley's diaper this afternoon, and i am sure all of you moms moms can appreciate this, and as i was changing it, she pooped some more. So I put a new diaper on her and then she pooped again! But after all that, she smiled at me! I'll change 1 million diapers to get that smile!

Maggie is 1!

2008-05-20T09:25:00.003-06:00

Here are Maggie's one year Pictures! I can't belive how amazing this Photographer is!

Miley

2008-05-20T09:01:00.002-06:00

Miley and Maggie

2008-05-20T08:36:00.002-06:00

Miley was born April 11! I can't believe that she is already 6 weeks old! Maggie just loves her and is always trying to get into her swing! I promise Maggie eventually gets dressed for the day...

2008-05-20T08:03:00.000-06:00

So I jumped on the band wagon and started a blog! I guess it will be a great way to keep in touch with my family!
