Thankyou DI for ruining my day, making me cry and doing the same to my kids by letting me buy a great powerwheels car for my kids and then.........

2010-11-08T20:22:00.000-08:00

Soooooo Sad!

2010-10-12T14:14:00.001-07:00

My blog that is...I will some day decorate my house so it looks like we live here and take pictures but until that day comes who knows when i will update! Sorry!

..........

2010-02-17T18:07:00.000-08:00

The House Is PAINTED!!!!!!! Now for the awesome task of glazing the whole freaking thing...yea! But it will look so good when it's done! I can't wait! Pictures to follow....

babies room....

2010-01-22T19:27:00.000-08:00

So...I purchased this...

And MADE this....

Which use to look like this-

AND did a little of this...

They Love to watch movies in these toy buckets-- it's cute...

The teapot chandelier is much better in person and I can't wait to be able to put the whole room together and show you!

"new chair"

2010-01-17T19:04:00.001-08:00

So I have never upholstered a thing in my life. I have repainted things to give them a new look though and loved it! I saw this chair at the DI for 5 bucks and could not pass up the chance to try out upholstering. The chair was disgusting to say the least when I took the bottom cushion off old ramen noodles fell all over the floor plus the whole back leg had been a snack for a dog or some kind of animal so I had to use wood filler to make it like new again. I am quite excited for the outcome and can't wait to put it in our new house when it's finished! It is a cream color with a brown antique glaze over it-- I will maybe get better pictures tomorrow when there is better light but for now enjoy.....

I want this bedding for Iris's room...I just can't bear to spend the money for it--- Crazy thing is that it is actually a decent deal-- what to do what to do?

That Last Post...

2009-12-23T08:16:00.001-08:00

Is a mess sorry I suck at blogging... and making things look pretty...

Miss Tattoo, Moving, Building, Dentist...and just living...

2009-12-15T09:27:00.001-08:00

So in October I competed in a beauty pageant...I know weird but very appropriate considering the pageant was called Miss Tattoo. It was the very first pageant I have ever done so I had no idea what to expect and was blown away with the talent and beautiful ladies that competed.

I sang for my talent and it was a lot of fun-- I have never sang in an area that big so I was hard to hear myself but I did my best-

I sewed this skirt...well the bottom part and the bussels on the back- I had the gray pencil skirt already and needed a skirt for the "day of the dead" theme -- I found a skirt on the internet I liked and copied it as best I could I thought it turned out pretty good!

So after we got back from New Mexico we closed on selling our house and had to be out in a month-- so we did all that moving and started building all in the same month-- Which could be my excuse for not blogging lately....

--oh and the picture of our family in front of the house...well the guy taking the picture's fly was WIDE open-- and I mean WIDE-- I was laughing really hard on the inside because we never told him-- only because he's so shy and might have cried-- but I thought it helped with smiling in the picture!

This picture of cody standing on the forklift-- well this is how we Wells move pianos...not too much heavy lifting right-- it worked out well that piano is a beast!

Grayson also went to the dentist for the very first time! And he didn't cry...well at least not until we were walking out and he was so excited for his tooth brush he forgot to look where he was walking and ran right into the wall... then he cried but other than that he did awesome!

Here is a good one of us out in the freezing cold working on the house-- it seems the only times cody wants to go work on it- it is the coldest day of the week!-- oh well- its still fun...I guess

Grayson had his christmas program last night and he did so good! He sang some of the songs and did cry-- which was surprising because he had woken up from his nap like 15 mins before we were to be to the school and he is NEVER in a good mood after naps- but the only weird/hillarious thing he did was pick his nose...and yes it's all on film for those moments you need to remind your children of how cute they were!

Christmas is in two days and we are all very excited! Grayson always tells me--- mommy - i need to tell you a secret...if Iris doesn't poop or pee in her pants santa will come tomorrow-- (he has a little problem with doing this at night in his pullups and a guess I may have told him this once or twice in hopes of correcting this problem)-- but he now applies it to Iris who really has no idea he is going to blame here if he doesn't show...good thing I know the guy right???--- anyways-- more posts to come- and sorry to everyone who I made authors for my blog-- but come on why didn't anyone post anything-- that would have been fun!!!

Everybody else is doing it...

2009-11-18T18:28:00.001-08:00

We are going private...send your e-mail so I can invite you!

It's Funny....

2009-10-05T13:41:00.000-07:00

You all have no problem commenting when I don't blog, but when I do I get no response what is that about? I know your reading it- even when I post nothing so for the love let me know your reading it when I post SOMETHING! At least let me know your interested so I will blog again I need encouragement...I'm lame I know.

previous post...

2009-10-04T13:53:00.001-07:00

Don't mind all the typographical errors in the previous post it is obvious I totally read through the post before I posted it...

My Blog Worthy Life....

2009-10-04T13:48:00.000-07:00

OK so this is what happens when you neglect your blog for months and have about 50 thousand pictures you want to post...they all get posted in no particular order with little text and lots of confusion...so enjoy!

So I finally have a minute to sit down and write about what has been going to the last ohhhhh......6 or 7 months. Alot! Our baby girl turned one...and sassy! I seriously can't leave the house anymore because she stresses me out waaaay too much! She runs and screams through the stores and if that isn't entertaining enough Grayson has to get in on the crazyness as well. Here are a few pictures from Iris' birthday before she became a little ball of fire!

I experimented with cupcakes in ice cream cones...it worked and they were pretty cute!

She loved it Cake, Ice cream, presents and lots of friends! 1st birthday success!

Couple months later I decided I would try out for American Idol in Denver and on the way we stopped at a Bo Huff Car show and I did my very first pinup photo shoot! It was so much fun! I didn't take many pictures because Cody informed me he hates taking pictures while on vacation...or at all for that matter-- so I would have been the only one is any of the pictures so this is all the pictures we took...

Some of the girls I shot with and the photographer Mitzi...

Myself and Miss Rockwell Devil the nicest model and best hair and makeup girl I know!

Cody and I leaving UT headed for Denver...and this was the last picture we took on the trip...lame I know

We did 4th of July at Rigby Lake...and iris learned what it was to chill note the way she so carelessly has her arm over the back of the chair and side...like ahhhhh

This next montage is Grayson not wanting a picture until he noticed maddy was obviously loving the camera so he had to get a close up...

We partied like rock stars!

We raced some Bikes...and gave some love...

And won trophy's in our underwear

We asked for haircuts...

Dreamed of having hair...

and later chickened out on the actual haircut...

Grayson had birthdays at Ross park

Where he turned 3!

Grayson started preschool! and loves it...

We rode on Trains...

and ate icecream...

and had family visit...

and enjoyed our summer....A LOT ---so much it only took me like 7 months to post about it...haha

Finally~!!!!!!

2009-08-05T21:22:00.000-07:00

So I finally uploaded new pictures...maybe I will blog soon...fooled all who thought this post would be interesting....haha

So.....Kristen's a Liar....

2009-06-28T22:19:00.000-07:00

She said she would blog and she hasn't...it's been almost a week since you said you'd blog and now I'm starting to believe you lied to me...

gotta love 1st birthdays...

2009-05-29T20:08:00.000-07:00

will post more pictures later...maybe--and this is like a month later than it should have been too-- lots going on...sorry-- oh yeah and that pink frosting i decided to smear on her forehead...died her little head pink--looked like a rash...

2009-05-05T10:16:00.000-07:00

So this past weekend we got the chance to finally get some family photos done...and they turned out so good. I was worried simply for the fact that my kids didn't really want to get pictures hence the following photo...
But the rest turned out really good and i am so glad Alicia Foster agreed to take them...no matter how mean i was to her when we were little....thanks leish!

Our House...For Sale

Check it out if your interested...word of warning...i use the word beautiful ALOT!

Just because Kristen said so....and Vegas was Awesome

2009-04-14T12:23:00.000-07:00

So we are back from Vegas....sad I know- but we missed our babies!! Between staying out until 3:00am and seeing tons of great things we are happy to be home...recovering-- We started out the vacation as soon as we arrived in Vegas-- we went to a burlesque show at the Orleans-which for those who don't know it's a type of dancing/stripping from the 50's so it isn't as bad as you would think--except for the following-- we were quite surprised to see an at least 75 year old veteran of this lost art-- not only surprised a bit weirded out- but what do you do?

Us at the show-- cody apparently excited about it...

and here is picture of random people who tried to get in the back of the previous picture-- they thought they were funny until i told them to get together so i could get a good one

We walked around all the vendors the first night and watched a couple bands play all in all it was a good first night--
The second day was the car show-- so we got ready and went over-- it was really great-- there were tons of vendors selling stuff for alot cheaper than they were in the hotel so we stocked up on tons of things- Cody got some new pin striping stuff to pin strip the Packard when it is painted and he is really excited to start pinstriping some stuff-- there were random people that were asking to take pictures of me next to cars and that was a little weird and it never got less weird but i guess it was fun- but i will tell you i'm no model-- but here are some pictures of the cars we saw and liked---

Here are a few of me with some "real" pinup models Sabrina Kelley is the first one-- the blonde and then there is Violet Valentine, myself, and Miss Rockwell DeVill Also Cody with some famous car guys- the first is the fonz- and then bo huff who is a very well known car guy- who does awesome work--

Then here are some more cars- and one hot mama-- right- no but it was fun--

This picture was for grayson-- it's a hudson hornet-- like from cars-- wrong color but he still liked it--

This last picture is of us a the tiki party-- the sun was really bright so i didn't get any good pictures of the packed party but it was full of crazy rockabilly bands and people-- fun stuff we will definatally be back next year-- with our cars--

it's the thought that counts...Right?

2009-03-29T14:09:00.000-07:00

So it was our 5 year anniversary on Friday and when I woke up that morning i found these on the table....and i was very surprised and excited--- then i took a second look and noticed they had not made it through the night. How sad-- he had obviously tried very hard and thought ahead this time-- and I'm sure his reaction was priceless when he went to find the flowers he had thought ahead to buy to surprise me with, only to find them dead! These flowers will not be forgotten and I'm sure will be talked about-- they are actually better than alive ones-- only because when we look back on this anniversary and wonder what we got for each other i'm sure i will not forget---dead flowers-- so sweet--- really though it was funny...

on another note-- thursday my sisters little girl was over to play and they were playing in our daughters room and were very quite-- so we went to check on them and this is how we found them....they were sleeping-- so they said-- but when we said ok-- then close your eyes grayson turns to his cousin and says-- no leave them open!! so apparently he sleeps with his eyes open which explains all the noise during "nap" time--- any ways we let them "sleep" for a little bit and went back in and found they had assumed a more comfortable possition--

so silly--- i love these kids-- they never surprise me-- or ever leave my life dull...

also...weird picture i know-- but i just had to post something about it because i'm so happy/excited about my acrillic toe nails i had done the other day-- it's pink zebra stripes- and anyone who wants a manicure/pedicure and wants a job well done you need to go to serenity salon spa and tanning--- 745-1553 and ask for erica-- she does an awesome job!!!

Iris...9mo

2009-03-18T20:09:00.001-07:00

our baby girl...9mo she is growing like a weed!!

already outdated....WHAT

2009-03-17T22:04:00.000-07:00

So I'm really really irritated at the rate things become obsolete! Cody got me the ipod touch last year for my b-day and already because it is the 1st gen of ipod touch there are so many new apps that don't freakin work on it-- what the H? Never again am i buying another tec item....i can't really say that but everytime apple comes out with a newer cooler app for the ipod i want to punch someone mearly for the fact that it won't work on my fossil of an ipod....it's only a year old...ewww irritating!

.....German Pancakes

2009-03-15T18:46:00.000-07:00

I will say you would think with my baking ability, and decent cooking skills in general these little monsters would be easy for me to cook, well they are not and i'm sure i say about 50 cuss words during the whole 30 min process of cooking these D@#* things! It usually takes me 2 tries and even then sometimes they don't turn out--

**sorry for the following graphically disgusting picture of the failed attempt today--

i never change a thing i do and no matter what it usually takes me two tries-- or i just give up at one-- today when i made them the second time i told myself if they didn't turn out i would not make them again-- well they did what i told them to do before i put them in the oven because they knew what was good for themselfes-- (right....)
anyways--they may not look much better to some...but they were--
i don't know if the child attached to my hip had anything to do with them working or not because she was attached with both batches but she does make it hard to concentrate-- because she is so cute!!!

anyways these things have been plaguing me for some time now and i had to vent about it-- cody doesn't think they ever work because everytime i make him for him and i they really don't--- and i never make a second batch because i just don't want to run the risk of wasting 7 more eggs--at least when i make them just for me it's only 3--

on another note grayson took more pictures today and there was one interesting one i liked -- apparently it's the view from a 2yr old perspective and i thought it was good--

Breakfast this morning-- not in the bowl- not unusual though....

he also took these--

don't mind the lumber in the background-- totally the husbands fault--

don't really know what he was doing here-- building a fort maybe-- but i laughed when i saw him--

and on a final note...why do i but these-- so when i come home from the gym i can ruin everything i've done that day??? i tell myself it's for the kids buying them that is---- but come on who can have these in the house and not eat them...even one-- hopefully they are gone soon -- and not by me--

Still Here....

2009-03-03T07:37:00.000-08:00

So It's been a while since I last updated and I know you all have just been on the edge of your seats waiting to hear what we are up to now a days...right?
Not much has changed here we had our house listed with a Realtor but it just didn't work out- wasn't impressed to be quite honest, I felt like I did a better job advertising the house than the realtor did. So we took it off the market and are just finishing up a few things and probably going to do one last push with a last open house and if it doesn't sell just call it quits for a while- we don't really need to sell just want to get out of the HUGE city of IF :).
Um christmas was uneventful which I think makes it good i guess. We got grayson a little chopper motorcycle which he loves but we have some modifications to do on it so he doesn't get to ride it much plus there is to much snow out there...ewwww. Took the kids snowboarding the other day and grayson wasn't a big of a fan of it as last year- so Iris took over his board for a while and she seemed to like it-- she will be our little shredder i guess!

Grayson also recently discovered his love of the camera and takes pictures anytime I will let him-- some come out good...some not so good- but he likes it none the less-- here is a little view into his skills--

This picture cracks me up-- it's like she thinks he's crazy-- and can't figure out why we would let someone like him take pictures of her... so funny---
as you can see he doesn't want me in most of the pictures so I have to lean down to get into view-- maybe he doesn't think i'm photogenic-- i don't know--

On another note Grayson is potty trained... again-- for about a month now he has been in underware and it is working this time and it is fablous - i must say -

Iris is growing like a weed and eats much more than her brother and i think it's great-- having a child that i don't have to fight to feed is so much less taxing than having to sit for over an hour to get one child to eat one egg makes me crazy- so thank goodness for one good eater--

We are getting the packard closer to being finished-- to an extent at least painted and lowered-- we are trying to get it ready for a car show in april...cross your fingers it will be done- when it is i will post pictures--
Cody and I are running in the to bone and back race the end of june and i'm a little worried about how it will go-- i have never been a runner but since i started the middle of last month it isn't as bad as i remember in highschool so that was a plesent surprise since i have to run 5 miles in june-- wish me luck with my training-- cody is already a natural and running way more than I and he has only run like 3 times-- but that's the wells for ya-- good at anything and everything they do-- i guess i just have to accept it-- as long as i finish the race i will be good-- but in the meantime the training is killing me--- eh- what did i sign up for?--
we will keep you up to date on running-- and the packard-- and pictures will soon follow- i can't guarentee it- but i will try---

2008-11-12T12:49:00.000-08:00

Soooo.....we digressed a little and have reverted back to pull ups but he is still doing well-- i am just a little less stressed and figure he will do it on his own time again-- maybe next time he will decide to keep using the potty!!! we still love him anyways- -

Potty Monster!!

2008-11-08T09:45:00.000-08:00

So yeah Grayson has officially concord the potty monster-- he is potty trained--- i had to just bite the bullet amidst the craziness of having a 6 months old and a migrian these last three days he is usuing his potty like every time he needs to and all by him self...so bravo grayson...bravo!

The Packard

2008-11-06T15:26:00.000-08:00

So I finally found my camera...and got the car back from the sand blaster-- but we still need to get some more blasting done on the lower trunk but she's coming along-- we are going to find old plates this weekend and maybe build a visor for her- We are also going to lower the back end and hopefully paint before winter officially hits!!! But we still argue over who gets to drive it- which cracks me because there is a car a million times nicer and way more expensive sitting in the drive way-- but it isn't near as sweet-- so i will stick with the packard and let the Yukon get reposed...lol not really but i do love this car!---Grayson calls it my wat wod car-- (rat rod) it's cute

2008-11-03T23:02:00.000-08:00

You got to love the date stamp-- but i love this picture of grayson and Iris because it is one of the only times she isn't looking at me like "save me mom" Grayson just loves his sister so much he can't get enough of her-- and the top one of him with the bow is one of the only "Halloween" pictures i got of him so this is what you get for now--

AHHHHH

2008-11-03T22:55:00.001-08:00

I am a little frustrated -- the car was suppose to get sandblasted saturday and still has not happened--And the thing is we are not like getting a favor or anything- so i don't understand what the deal is-- we are paying for it-- well hopefully by the end of the week-- and someone is going over the the blasting shop to see what it would cost to chop the top-- which means take about 2-3 inches out of it-- which would be so sick-- we will see--- And also we are showing the house tomorrow so I have been cleaning alllllll day-- which i don't mind because it usually needs it-- i just hate doing it-- I'm not a neat freak unlike some of you....alicia-- haha- i wish actually -- but we are in the midst of building a shead out back for all the car crap we have in the garage and it isn't quite done- so i hope people don't mind- but seriously not finishing stuff is the story of our life-- it drives me nuts- but i can't force my husband -so i do what i can and just bite my tounge-- kinda-- he hates me nagging -but nothing would get done if i didn't-- most wives understand where i'm comming from-- so that is the update as of today-- got some cute amature pictures of the kids today will post later--- and alicia you should show me how to do a cuter page- because mine is pathetic-- and you are so talented-- we really need to get together-- like old times--- only i will be nicer now--- i think -can't promise anything--- lol no really --

How in the World???

2008-11-02T01:10:00.001-07:00

How do all of you keep up with this whole blogging thing?? I posted in August and I am just now posting again. So much has happened in the last little while. Cody is now apprenticing for tattoo and so I only get to hang out with him on Sunday now which is sad for us all but I know that he needs to be able to do things he loves if only that applied to me as well. I never get time just for me but I guess that is what you sign up for when you become a mom. I love my kids so it is all worth it. I did get something recently that I think will be something to do. We bought a 51 Packard car and I love it. I will get pictures of it before we tear it apart and start re-doing it but I don't know when that will be. Halloween was crazy because we had to go to Rigby to pick up the car because they were working on the breaks-- and in the mean time I accidentally left the kids Halloween costumes at my moms and had to go all the way back from IF to get them- which was fine because Grayson wanted to trick-or-treat there anyways but it made for a long night-- and I can't find my freakin camera so I will have to steal pictures from gradma. Grayson had been dressing up all week as a Piriate so he went as a mechanic on the acutal day of Halloween-- which was cute- and Iris was a skunk- which the smell part is true most of the time- -Tomorrow we hope to get the car back from being sandblasted and maybe I will get pictures before we paint-- can't say I will post soon- but who knows I'm always up late so maybe I will get more into this---

New to this....

2008-07-25T21:26:00.000-07:00

Well....I am all new to this and very lost. I guess i will start with our story. Cody and I met about 6 years ago. We dated about a year and a half and were finally married March 27, 2004. We were married almost 2 and a half years when we had our son Grayson on August 1, 2006 and a little over 4 years when we had our second child a girl Iris.

Being parents is the greatest thing we have ever done in our lives and we can't imagine life without these beautiful little people in it.
We are pretty active people Cody likes to get Grayson involved with anything he loves to do so of course Grayson had to go snowboarding last year even though he was barley One!!!!!! He loved it and was actually pretty good, and Cody also likes to take Grayson along on his long board and he loves it!! He also loves riding his bike (even though he hasn't quite figured it out yet). Iris is still to little to tag along so she gets to hang out with me watching, but I'm sure soon we will be right there with them and I can't wait. I guess I will try to keep this updated but with two kids and business to run life is pretty busy.
