Happy Anniversary

So March 17, 2009 Bret and I celebrated our 8th Anniversary. 8 years later we are still happliy married. We have three kids and still live in Woods Cross. This year we celebrated by going out to eat lunch while the kids were in school. We went out to eat at L and L Hawaiian BBQ close to where Bret was working. He got the mix BBQ plate and I got Mahi Mahi. I loved it. Its been a while since I ate Mahi Mahi. I enjoyed every bite. We had a nice quite 30 minutes. We haven't had that in a while. After lunch Bret went back to work, I picked the kids up and headed to the Children's Museum, and after work and the museum Bret went back to work up in Ogden and I headed to Relief Society and helped in the Kitchen. It was a full day of stuff, but still awesome.

I wanted Bret to know how happy he makes me. We didn't have to spend the whole day spoiling each other because we have eternity to go.

Bret works hard for our family and is always providing for us. He allows me to work part time and spend the rest of my time with the kids. He is my light, my world and my everything. Thank you for choosing me 8 years ago. Thank you for making my life full of fun, surprises, and memories. Thank you for blessing me with the three most precious gift, our children. Bret I love you and thank you for being who you are. You are an amazing husband and Father. Bret, because of you we are so blessed and I thank my Father in Heaven for you! I am so LUCKY!!!!

Today was a Free Day at the Children's Museum, so I decided to take the kids after preschool. Kai'imi invited Laci to come with and Nick came along to since his Mommy was busy with Eastans school. So the five children and I had a blast playing on toys and looking for leprechauns around the place. We found two of them. I especially enjoyed watching Kai'imi run around with her glasses and the kids being so happy. Kai'imi loved the horse, Ty and Nick loved playing in the building area and police cars, Laci loved driving the tractor and sliding down the yellow slide and Ilikea loved the garden and just being free to play. The 5 children were well behaved so we stayed from 4 hours. They still didn't want to come home. It was a great fun filled day and again we added memories to our life.

Guys and Girls Night 3-7-09

So this past weekend we were invited down to Becky and Skyler's home to celebrate Skyler's birthday. Becky got the boys tickets to the BYU basketball game. So all the brothers including their Dad, Becky's Uncle and Trevor headed to the game. While the women stayed at their home to make Cinnamon Rolls. We got the Cinnamon Rolls started and while it was rising we decided to head to the store called Sunflower which had great prices for fruits and Veggies. The kids all got balloons at the end. After that we then headed to a store called ummm I can't remember I will have to post it later. After that store and getting some awesome deals on Pink Lady Apples, we went back to Becky and Skyler's to finish the Cinnamon rolls and wait for the boys to come back. It was a late but fun night. Thanks everyone for adding more memories into my life.

Sad but Funny Story 3-5-09

Ty wasn't feeling well cause of the air so his asthma was awful. So he is sitting on my lap yesterday during my weekly conference call. He was being quite and good. And then all of a sudden he says my stomach is sore. Yep he threw up all over me, the phone and the chair. So yes my co-workers and bosses heard him and I had to hang up. It was so gross. Lucky for me it wasn't food throw up it was just foam and stomach acid from him gasping during his asthma attack. However it did stink. He laid around all day yesterday and today he is feeling a little better. I sure love you Ty and thanks for getting me off my conference call early. (hehehe)

Fat Lip 2-09

Story, Ilikea was left in the kitchen in her high chair with Ty to finish up their breakfast while I get Kai'imi's hair done for school. I then hear a crash and a scream. Ty had taken off the tray and Ilikea had rocked the chair so she tipped the chair and fell froward and bruised her cheek, leg and got a fat lip. It scared me so bad. I learned a new lesson that day, Never leave your children alone even if they are buckled into their High Chair, never know what can happen.

Driving in SNOW 2-19-09

Long story short Bret convinces me to drive to Ogden to help clean up an apartment, cause the roads are suppose to be plowed, WRONG they weren't it was a nightmare driving up there. I was so mad that I had to stop and take pictures of what I was driving in. I kept thanking Heavenly Father for letting me make it to each traffic light and that my kids were asleep cause if something would of happened at least they were asleep and they wouldn't of known. Anyways, nothing happened except for my angry and anxiety.

If anyone knows me, they would know that I avoid leaving the house on snowy days. Well next time I wont listen to him.

Ice cream

Uncle Derek sneaking Ilikea some ice cream!

She really enjoyed it.

Doughnuts Anyone? 2-7-09

Doughnuts Anyone?

Kai'imi insisted to carry in the box of doughnut for Willy Baptism. She wouldn't let anyone help her. The box is as big as she is. She is so cute and fun. I love you Kai'imi and thanks for always making me happy.

Kai'imi at Practice 2-26-09

This is Kai'imi at Hula Practice practicing a tathian number. This is her third week dancing. She is doing well for age and the number of practices. She is really enjoying it.

Naps together

Okay since Bret hardly gets to hold Ilikea he usually comes home from work when he doesn't have to rush off which is usually on Mondays and Thursdays and then on Sundays he is always home so he has found joy in rocking Ilikea for a nap. Usually what happens is he falls asleep then Ili. Its been cute to see. Their quality time together.

Family Home Evening 01-2009

We got a Bountiful Rec family pass for this year. We have been enjoying it on Monday nights by taking the kids swimming. They have a little area for the kids to play, swim and they can touch. Ty and Kai'imi both love the little slides and when Dads around to take them down the big Slides. Bret enjoys jumping off the diving boards and playing with the kids. Ilikea loves her tube and being able to kick her little feet in it. And I love that we are together as a family having fun.

Happy Birthday to Me 1-17-09

Bret, Trent and the kids took me out to dinner for dinner for my Birthday. We went to Texas Road House. It was great food. They have these rolls with a honey butter Cinnamon that is so awesome. Thank you for making my Birthday so fun. (I know this post is a little late)

Childrens Museum 3-3-09

Stephanie invited the kids and I to tag along to the Children's Museum with her family. We had a blast there. Ilikea loved the balls, Kai'imi loved the mail service, and Ty enjoyed building. This place had a ton of different and unique things to do. We also attended reading time for the kids. The story was Green Eggs and Ham. The kids got to make their own green eggs and ham. They loved it. I even really enjoyed it. There was so much to do and we could of spent all day there. The kids were sad to leave, but on March 17th its a free day. So we will be going back. Also on Tuesday is $2 off day.
