Happy Birthday to Brody and Maggie

Happy Birthday to Brody last August... he turned 4 and Happy Birthday to Maggie last September... she turned 2!

It has been a crazy year and I have and am trying to get back into Blogging.

BRODY AND HIS BIRTHDAY!

Brody had two awesome birthday parties.. One was up in North Dakota with some great friends and we made that awesome Caption America cake and then we had a family one on his real birthday day that was in Moab and we just made the batman cake. Brody has been a great big brother and always takes good care of Maggie. He has been into Super Hero's and swords and capes. I love this little guy so much.

MAGGIE AND HER BIRTHDAY!

Maggie had kind of a lay back Birthday... We just moved to Heber and so we had my family come down for dinner and she had some good cake but it just wasn't the big princess cake she had hoped for. She has been so much fun. She is such a girly girl and always wants to wear a dress. She loves to go to Church so she can wear a dress but hates nursery. Her had asked her what she is and she will reply with "Daddy's Princess" she is so in love with her dad..... I love it!

I am so blessed to have these kids in my life and I am ready for the next years to come.

Fun times in North Dakota

 

While we were there we made did some fun vacations... Canada was fun but the freaking McDonalds was about 20 bucks more to eat there then in the US.

Look at that... They even still have phone booths. I don't think that the kids cared but they still thought it was fun to see a phone with a cord! 

 Maggie was pissed at something.

Canada was a super pretty place and I would go back!

 Rushmore.. I think that is how you spell it.. who cares you know what it is.  That was a fun place but I wanted to be closer to it. This is something that I was glad to see but I don't care to go back :)

 This was down the street from rushmore and I thought it was fun.

The town was called Flinstones :)

 Made two trips to Moab and I gotta tell ya I love this place. Moose wanted to get in on our family pic. They kids have lots of fun as do the parents :)

 At our trailer house. The kids loved this powerwheel till they ran it to the ground!

Sturgus!!!  I this place I AM GOING BACK TO! (next time with no kids) we sure looked funny with the double stroller and all the bikers. This was fun to see all the biker. The streets were smashed full of biker.  North Dakota did have some great people and I made great friends but I am glad to be back in a house again. 

WOW 9 Months!

I can't beleive that it has been 9 months from the last post. I thought about every once in a while then I posted NOTHING. I have lots to blog about but I am going to take it slow. We moved back to Utah in september... Yep we made it 8 months there :) anyways long story Scott was making good money but nothing like we thought. So we found a job in Heber city and he is loving his job and the pay check! Me not so much..... I just miss my family and my little house in Logan. We are renting a house here and it looks like we are looking  to buy a house in the spring :) I guess I better start liking it here. Brody and Maggie are so big now. They just turned four and two and I am so in love with these two. I mean some days I want to run away but mostly I love them. I started to look at this blog today and Brody and Maggie were going crazy wanting to see all the pictuers of them and that is when I decied that is something that these kids are going to love and I need to start being better about blogging there lives. Here are Brody and Maggies two and four year pictuers.. :)

Good New!

We have moved to Williston and I love it! I am now 5 minutes away from the walmart and it is a killer. I spend so much money on crap and it is mostly food. I can NOT stop eating. I love food but when you are in a trailer that has everything so close, every time I stand up I am in the kitchen and it is telling me to eat! So we are now on Scott's boss's land and are waiting to see what happens next... We might get to stay here for free or we have to move to an RV spot that cost freaking 800 a month. Crazy I know. Everything is so much for living here. For a 2or 3 bedroom apartment it cost anywhere from 2400 to 3700 a month and that my friend is why we live in a trailer. :) I am loving the ward here but they just split it last week. They said they had 896 people in one ward and the church is super small. I am excited to see what calling I get because I want something big and en charge :) j/k but that would be funny!

Scott's job has been slow because they got all cough up tot he wells so they have to wait till they have new wells to take water to so we have been having a lot of family time. I was a little bit pissed that it has been slow but he got his pay check for 2 weeks and it was more money then he would have made in a month in Utah. I know that this is what we need to do to set our lives up for the rest of our lives but it is hard to think that I am going to spend the next two years here in North Dakota. Some fun pictures for you all to see..... Scott was working and our pooper froze so I am the bomb of a wife and cleaned her out! P.S. yes that is a bucket because I broke that freaking hose for it. Yep it was the shittiest job I have ever done. :)
 For Valentines day Scott got me a dozen donuts...... Oh how I love donuts more then flowers. We also made pink pancakes and Brody was upset because they were not  green or blue. Maggie and Brody love having their dad around. I love it too! Brody and Maggie are doing awesome... I was scared that they would have a hard time but so far so good!  I forgot but the best part about walmart is that they have so many people here in Willistion that they always have the freshest bakery iteams out. Nothing is old!

Oh Man!

Good Old Watford.. Yep this is my town! 

Brody has been such a great kid. He never talkes about how he wants to go home. But I know he wants to I mean he is my kid :)

Maggie LOVES to color and write on ANYTHING!

I tried to make my trailer a home.

On Joe Dirt this guy says Home is where you make it. I am trying to make it here in Watford in my trailer.

                       So it has been crazy this past week. I have so much to write but I am just not feeling it. It is crazy how I thought that I would move to North Dakota and have so much time to do the things that I want...... Wow was I wrong. I have been busy doing who knows what.... Laundry, clean the trailer 5 times a day ( this little space it hard to stay clean) try to keep Brody from being a butt to Maggie and just being a mom. It is hard being a single parent in this little town. So I am in Watford, Watford is a little town that is 1/8th of the size of Preston and has really nothing but coolness cause I am here. Just kidding but this town is a hour away from Church, McDonald's, and the local wal-mart that makes my like CRAZY!! But also Scott works in Williston (where all those places are) and he drives 14 hours on and has 14 hours off but when  you have to take 2 hours of that and drive home and back it makes it really hard. So Scott stays at the man camp and I go and see him sometimes when I need to go to the store or Church or let my kids play on the nasty at McDonald's. :) anyways long story we are trying to move to Williston and it is not going good at all. Things cost so much and no where has anything available. They put us on waiting list but they are 80 people long :(   Scott is really stressed about it but I am just chillin at my trailer catching some next flicks because freaking direct t.v. is taking a month to find this place. Sean my oldest brother is here with his wife and son and they live on the man camps land and we were supposed to live there too but things just aren't what the boss said. Anyways so we stayed with then for a couple night and had alot of fun. I just wish we could find a place to be close to my husband. Husband and wife were never meant to be away from each other unless you hate them, then you can do whatever you want. I love Scott and this post is so off the rocker but so is my life. I was just trying to tell everyone how crappy this is but I am still convinced that we are doing the right things and things will work out. The End!

North Dakota

The jug.

 It is worth it to the kids. They love bath time.

Don't mind the tint of brown to the water and that is straight from the tap.

 Kind of gross

Maggie Love's these magnets that I made.

Yep, this is my house on wheels for a couple years.

This is my backyard. There are always more semi's on the road then cars :(

We do have neighbors but nobody will ever be a awesome as the Tilley's :(

Brody and Maggie have been awesome.

 Brody was taking a bath and looks up at me and said "mom, I love my new house"

That made me feel lots better about taking him aways from what was normal for him.

I tried to make this trailer homie!!!

That is right I said North Dakota.We moved!! We have been here for the last 3 weeks and it is nothing that I thougtht. I thought nasty people with no teeth and stinky but it is really not like that. I mean they do have the nasty's and white trash but Logan does too. About 6 weeks ago Scott and I decided to do something different while we don't have kids in school and he hated his job. Everything fell into place not all at once but it worked and we are here and Scott is making some good money and liking his job. Our goal is to have our house back in Utah paid off by the time we go back, I hope it only take 18 months but we will see. We have renters in our house for 18 months and I hope they take care of it. It sure is different living in a trailer. We haven't hooked up the water yet because it is so cold that it would just freeze so I haul a big jug of water back and forth for the kids to take a bath and fill the sink up for dishes. I really thought that I was the cute girl that would never so this but I loving it. I am one to complain so you will hear all the bad stuff too but tonight I am feeling very blessed to have this chance to do something different with our lives and try to better our future. I miss my warm cute 1900 sq feet house and my new washer and dryer and all the good stuff that I never did without but this is teaching me that less is better and I hope that maybe this will make me a better person. Maybe!

Five months in One post!

 I look at the last five months and it is all crazy to me.  So here are some pictures to recap the last five or so months. This first one is of Maggie, she loves that little bike and loves I mean  loves to be naked!



Brody got some bug bits this summer and looked all crazy. :) He said it didn't hurts so I laugh and took some pictures to remember it.

Happy Birthday to Brody. He is 3 now and I am wondering where the time has gone. He is so in love with spider man and super hero's.

My friend is amazing and she helped me put this cake together for my monkey!

Brody loves horse and Schylar and Dawson (Brody's best friends) have the best grandparents and we went out to there house and had lots of fun and rode this horse.

Brighton and Brody. They love each other so much. This was when we were coming back from either moab or bear lake and Brody had to ride with Brighton in uncle Moose's truck. He is in love with Moose.

Yep, my kids are cute and sometimes they play good together.

Maggie Pie turned One and it was an awesome party. She is a loved little girls.

Jess my amazing friend helped with her cake and her smash cake too. They turned out better then I thought it would. I always think the worst. I wish I would stop that!

So fun!!!

Scott and I went with Lindsay, Chris, Natty and Moose to Las Vegas and ran the Rock N' Roll Marathon. that was my third race that year and I am DONE!!!!!

I had all the kids one night and it was nice to watch them in one place :)

Brody loved Santa. He understands now that Santa brings him present. He was bad on Christmas Eve so we had my dad call and think that he was not coming because he was bad and he changed his attitude and was a nice little boy. :) I know I am mean,

Santa Brought them to many toys but this is there favorite one!!!

I love these kids. I am so Blessed to have such crazy loud kids.

I wouldn't want it any other way.

Sorry for the long post but I needed to get caught up on this. It is my scrapbook now and I want to remember EVERYTHING!
