So we did have a great christmas as I blogged yesterday! Then Today the girls my mom and I went and played in the snow and made a cute cute snow frog! They said they were going to go and build in the snow like my cousins son Ryker does on the beach! So we went out and made a frog! The snow would not pack so we had to shovel it into a pile and pack it down with water and shape it as we went and then we painted him so he is very noticable! I am so glad that we have had our family time that we have had this holiday season! We have been very blessed to have our family together and have had a great time doing thing together!!! Here are some pictures from today and yesterday sorry they are kinda messed up!

There are pictures of us and the girls on christmas and carson and amanda and the girls coltons grandma mom and the girls and us with our frog!!! I am still new give me a break!

Greetings from Alaska!!!

Well I have always wanted to have a very white christmas! UNTIL TODAY! WOW! Change of plans in a big hurry! So well to back up a bit Colton and I went to Coltcons grandma and grandpa Potters last night and exchanged gifts. Then off to his parents house for presents french dip and much more food! We had a great time with them and Car Car and Mana! Then off from there to my moms where we usually go for our Christmas eve PJs well last night the girls could not stop at that so we ended up letting them open all there gifts at her house also! Well good thing because usually we get up see what santa brings and then open our family gifts then to my moms and then off to Coltons parents house again for Christmas dinner! Well we got up looked out and was like well we will be here for a while! So my mom called and said she did not even dare drive from her house to mine with no four wheel drive! So we just did our family christmas stuff and played with our girls for a while then Colton decided he would go snow blow! Well a few hours later after both of us (mostly colton) got us cleared out we came in and cleaned up AGAIN! Then it came down again! and Again and AGAIN! So we cleared it out again and it let up so we decided to brave our way to coltons moms for our traditional prime rib dinner! Well we got out there literatly sit down ate and had to come home because there was a white out! It took us 45 min to 1 hour to get home! I mean this is usually a 10 to 15 minute drive! We get home and our entire drive way is socked in with snow so low and behold Colton is out blowing it out again! So the girls and I have played and I have cleaned up after them ALL DAY LONG! I mean I think the toy and cloths factories blew up in my living room! What was santa & our the grandparents thinking! I have cleanded up this a million times today! Yet I have had a wonderful day! I really have not felt rushed all day and that has been nice just to be able to enjoy our little family! fWell although we really have not seen colton cause he has been clearing snow all day! Well now that the rush rush rush is over! We can hopefully enjoy everything that we all rushed so hard to get done! I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday! I will post pictures when I figure my new camera out!

a great day

So today was just another day. Doing the usual clean take care of kids ya know make beds and so forth well it came time to wash the dishes and there were only a few so i waited till the girls were done with there nap and lunch and was going to do all the dishes! Well I was almost done with them and I washed this cup. Well as you can see there was a little piece broken off on the top of it so when I put my dish cloth down into the bottom and turned the cup it got me! Ouch suck the hot soapy water hurt a bit. Well when I looked down I had cut the web part of my had between my thumb and my pointer finger. So I got it all cleaned up and decided I would call the Dr and see if he had an apointment. So I waited about twenty or so minutes and went to the Dr sure enough I needed some stiches to h woold it together he said it would not heal if we left it open it was like a big hole cause the skin was cut open where it streches and looks like a web. So he went a head a.nd put 4 stiches in it. Well low and behold this is like the 4th set of stiches I have had in 2 years and 3 of them have been frow washing dishes.

Best Friends Forever

WoW a mess and lots of fun!

So today I got a phone call from a very dear friend! She said Elj I have a huge huge favor! I was like ok! She never asks for anything so I was like something bad has happened, kinda getting prepared for the worst! She said well we had to evict some tenants out of one of our apartments and it is really really bad is there a way I can get you to help me! So i loaded the kids up and went over. Well we got there and started looking around and decided we needed a few more cleaning products so we walked across the street to the store and got some more cleaning supplies and she also got the kids toys and coloring stuff! We got back to the apartment and she rolled out some carpet that was clean and we put the kid stuff on the carpet and went to work cleaning! It amazes me how some people can live! There was trash garbage food all over so started junking everything but there was a lot of good canned food that the tenants must have been to lazy to move just likea chair and a bed and a lot of old cloths. So we put it in a box and we dontated it to the food pantry. Then when we did that we took our kids to Mcdonalds and let the kids play. It really was fun to be able to visit all day and let our kids play and we got that place lookin real good!
When we got home we got all cleaned up and the girls and I were watching a movie and my door bell rang and we answered it and Santa has sent two elves live with us for december and they will go report to santa evey night to santa every night to tell santa if they have been good! There names are Elva she is Crislyns Elf and Ellie is Bretlees Elf and they will watch the girls for Santa. They are so cute! THANKS SANTA

I am so thankful for my family! AHH I just can not imagine how life would be with out them. Colton is the best dad in the world for my girls! I can not imagine how hard it would be with out him. The girls keep me going. There is never a minute that the two of them are not up to something. They are best friends and they may be young but, still have each others back threw everything. It amazes me how close they are but, yet how different they are all at the same time. My family is my everything. I am so thankful for everything I have cause with out amazing kids and amazing husband I feel like I would be lost!!!

The year is almost gone!

So I know it is not right but, I went shopping today and got some more shopping done! I can not believe how fast this past year has gone! Last I new it it was like almost July and now we are in the end of November! I am such a procrastinator that I need the entire year to get things done so I can cram it all done in December! AHHHHH I always have great intentions on getting everything done and my patients just don't get me there. Well I hope everyone is not procrastinating like me!

Stupid Furnace.

So our furnace had a problemThursday. The wire that tells it that it is hot enough to blow the air was not working well cause it had broke off! So low and be hold Colton woke up and it was cold so he said "Hey the furnace is not working so it is getting cold." Well before that I did not know I was cold but, then I did. So when the girls woke up they did not want to get out of bed Bretlee said"it is to cold mom just leave me here" So I went and got a pair of sweats and put them over the girls PJ's. Then the Furnace guy came and looked at it thursday. Well they did not have the part in stock well at 60 degrees it was getting chilly. I know it is not freezing but on our wood floor in the kitchen it froze our feet. So the girls daisy and I left. We went t o Trisas then my moms. The girls and I staid at my moms. Colt worked both jobs and came home and toughed it out. He said it was not bad cause he was only here sleeping like 5 hours. But finally today they got it fixed at like four AHHHH. So hopefully that is fixed and no more problems. I am just thankful that it was not during a snow storm.

THANKS TRISHA TRISHA!!!

So Trish was so kind to sit side by side and huver over me and answer all my questions! So we can be friends on here and keep up with all our virtiual lives! Heck I was so confused and did not know what to do but, a little time with Trisha and I got it figured out I think. It is a good thing that she has a phone so I can call her with all my dumb questions. So hopefully I will keep intouch.

I am so dang stupid I am getting on my own nerves I can not leave anyone a comment and can not add half my friends anyone willing to help out a dumb friend let me know!!!!!! No wonder I have not added anymore pics or commented not that I dont want to cause I get so frusterated and CAN NOT DO IT!

another day!

So the last few days have been a bit rough around my house! I really think I have had food poisoning. I have felt like total CRAP! Ah then you just grin and bear it once you are a mom there is no time to be sick. The kids dont stop needing or wanting. GOOD thing my mom had the last two days off! If she is off work the girls think they need to live at her house. My poor mom does not ever get a weekend off. The girls call her nine hundred times till she just comes and gets them. I know she dont really mind cause if they dont call first she calls for them. I am so greatful to have my family close. Colton is real good but, I when I dont feel well I just like to be left alone. I dont want to talk or anything I just want to cuddle up and be left alone. Now I am done whinning. But to the other part of my story is going to work sick. I really hate when people go to work sick cause it gets everyone else sick but then i did. I felt like if I thought it was contagious I would not go but I really think i ate something bad. ok I am done

Getting started!

So I am so new to the blogspot! Give me a bit and I will get use to it! I just decided to get a blogspot so that I can keep up on life! I think that it is so crazy how we have all need our computer to talk!!! Well so to fill everyone in Crislyn and Bretlee turned 3 in July and they are full of it. Crislyn is so your typical girl but so fasinated with wild life bugs mice creatures of any kind and or size but still loves to dress up make up the hole bit. Bretlee is you laid back run naked and be free. Give her a pen and paper and she is golden. They are awesome kids! I am very lucky they really keep each other busy they are typical BUSY 3 year olds. Colton is working at ATK! He works a ton of hours and still finds time for his girls! He is a great dad. The most rewarding time for me is when he walks threw the front door and they yell DADDY YOU HOME! I miss you daddy. That makes me real fast how lucky they are to have an amazing dad. Not all of us were that lucky. I am still trying to plug away at school kinda at a stand still waiting on availiable classes until January now. I am working at Kent's also.
