What Has Been Going Through My Head Lately:

1)Why can't I ever get my butt into bed earlier and when Trent does?
2)Lately I want a pet goat. Basically because we have lots of baby ones by our house. Plus, we are like the only ones in our neighborhood without one. Also, they eat anything you want them too. Probably even my bad cooking...ha ha.
3)Lyla is so so clingy to me. Yes she wants to have my full attention 24/7. I laugh every time I sit down or lay down she flips.
4)I miss the old days when I didn't have so much to occupy me. Remember the days of no cell phones and no blogs....I feel like the internet gets the best of me and my time.
5)If I happen to take one more bath and look over to stare a nasty humungo wolf spider in the face again....I think I will lose it. I killed the biggest one last night. It took forever to die. I have satisfaction in flushing them down the toilet.
6)My throat needs to feel normal again...cold be gone please.
7)Today I was teaching my pilates class and went to go blow my nose in the bathroom and I forgot to turn my mic off. So everyone got to hear me blowing my brains into tp. Good thing thats all I did. sheez.
8)Sometimes I don't know how to keep up with life. I am sure everyone goes through this....RIGHT?
9)I gotta get to bed...NOW...PEACE OUT WORLD.

Weekly Ten Y'all

1)Had to skip out on my pilates class Monday due to a cold that refuses to go away. Hope to feel better soon. sheez. All I know is ever since I moved here I get sick 24/7. Probably cause I am around a lot more peeps a lot often.
2)Started using resistance bands in class and I love them. Really they are a breathe of fresh air. It's always fun to work our muscles differently and find some great new exercises.
3)Officially through out our old computer...oh ya I am loving this new one so much.
4)Ordered new photo shop software and can't wait for it to arrive. It's gonna be make my computer even cooler.
5)Fed the missionaries today...along with my new sister in law Barbara and her wonderful 4 kiddos whom we just adore. Her girls were so nice to Evelyn. And Makaela thanks so much for cleaning my house before you left. That made my night.
6)Had practice for our primary program tomorrow....I wrote the whole thing...and can't wait to get it over with. Crossing my fingers the kids will behave and say their parts well.
7)Realized just how much love I have for my husband and two daughters. I really am blessed to have these three people in my life. Trent is so good to me and I couldn't be more in love with this man. The girls are hard throughout the day...but both have such a sweet side.
8)On a separate note...Lyla is glued to my hip 24/7. I think she has about 12 teeth that are trying to come through all at once...sometimes I can't please her. And can't wait to get a brake from holding the little dear.
9)Have been baking baking today brownies and cookies. I am all sugared out for sure:/
10)Evelyn has been having way too many accidents in her pants. It's so frustrating she just doesn't wanna take the time to go on the potty sometimes. It's getting old fast. Will probably be slapping on a diaper to scare her into being potty trained fully again. ahhhh

Our Weekly Ten:)

1)Caught myself a crappy cold this week that has not been fun. I had it at the beginning as we were heading to Disneyland but tried to keep it ignore it while I was there. Pretty sure working out really hard Wed. might have done me in. Plus I taught the young women of our ward some pilates moves on the Primary room floor without a mat. Who knows how much funk is living on that carpet...just sayin.
2)Went to Disneyland park with Trent's family Mon. & Tues. We had a blast. However it is what I would call, STRESSFUL FUN WITH THE KIDDOS. And missing naps and all that jazz. Evelyn's favorite ride was the new little mermaid one Arial's Undersea Adventure I adored it too. Lyla like just about every ride but her fav was possibly Small World. Trent and I got to go on Splash Mountain, Tower of Terror and Soaring Over California. I really was bummed we didn't get to go on Indiana...thats our other fav. Maybe next time...SIGH.
3)We swapped baby sitting duties with Ty and Annie so we were able to get some time with our hubbies after dark. We had connecting rooms so it worked out perfect. It was a win/win situation.
4)Had to miss Zumba Thurs. due to my throat pain...eww. I was bummed. If I know I can be working out I get a little down. But, I guess thats life. I really live to workout and love what it does for my mood, life, and body.
5)Trent entered his first car show in Overton Sat. He spit shined the Ghost most of Friday and it showed. He won 1st place in his division. It was really fun to take the girls there, get snow cones and see familiar faces. I am very proud of him and all the hard work he has put into that truck. It has payed off big time. I am so glad he has it, he is very talented in fixing/putting cars together. So smart it boggles my mind.
6)I had to miss church today, due to my cold. Yes, the cold put a damper on my week for sure. Sorry to keep bringing it up.
7)We hooked up and have been using our new expensive computer and desk. And wow wow wow, I am in love with the fast speed,& huge screen, no tower, and wireless mouse and keyboard. It is going to make editing a breeze. And for what we payed for it...it better. I love hp they rock. There is a pic of it here.
8)I killed two bees today in my house I don't know how they got inside.
9)I have managed to keep the house pretty picked up the last few days. After it took me hours to clean it and put away laundry. I am striving or I should say we...as a family are trying to prevent it from ever getting like a pig sty again. Note the word Striving...which means most likely it will happen again.
10)Evelyn scraped her knees very good today at Aunt Annie & Uncle Ty's house for Lucy's bday party. Came home screaming in pain. I wasn't there to see it. Poor thing.

The Weekly 10 ...early (heading to Disneyland Sunday)

I am sorry if you guys get sick of my weekly ten posts, but they are my journal for the week and I feel like my week is accomplished after I complete this task!!
1)Trent was gone for almost a week and Wed. him and his brother Ty made two wives and kids very happy. It is so wonderful to have him back and makes our marriage stronger when he isn't here. Makes you fall in love all over again when he gets back.
2)Have been driving my sister Kylee's Ford Focus all around town since we switched for the week and guess what.....I really like it. It is much more roomier than my little Saturn and it has automatic locks and everything...yep it will be hard to get my car back. Oh well that is life. Someday when we expand our family again we will upgrade to an SUV...someday.
3)My mom was watching the girls Mon. morning for my class. When I got back she told me some great stories about the girls.
*She put Lyla down in her crib for a nap and looked on our video monitor and noticed she was naked took her diaper off and was rolling around with Piglet and having a ball. Ah, man I hate it when they figure that out....shucks.
*Evelyn had to go potty really bad so she ran in to go...while she was going she heard something from the tv and turning her spout off to go see what it was...then after a minute ran back on the potty to finish what was still left inside of her. My mom thought it was so so funny. Thats hard to turn it off like that.. ha ha.
4)Had the best time taking pics for my nieces Breya and Kinley...oh it was a divine photo shoot. Talk about lovely girls and perfect lighting and perfect scenery it was in my back yard and by some railroad. Heavenly, I just can't wait to share with everyone. I was very proud of myself and how they turned out. It's taken a very long time to get where I am at now, and know what I know. Lots and lots of PRACTICE.
5)Evelyn is my alarm clock in the morning (unless Lyla cries loud enough for me to hear her) she comes into my room with the Cinderella dress up over her nightgown. And said "Mom the fairy godmother came to me and gave me this dress, isn't it beautiful?" Yes Evelyn, THIS GIRL HAS PRINCESS FEVER 24/7 AND I LOVE LOVE IT.
6)My mom asked me the other day what I have done with my girls to get them so sweet lately, mostly Evelyn. I DID NOTHING! It is as though she has done a 360 turn. She has little moments still but she is so so sweet. Lyla is the queen of hugs. Evelyn tells us she loves us about every hour. I love my girls so much. It is so fun to have two girlies.
7)Had the opportunity to watch General Conference for my Church. Ok does it not get better every time. They really/truly know what people want/need to hear. I love all those men & women who get up there and profess their beliefs and how to improve. It is so inspiring.
8)The other night while I was putting Evelyn to bed she started to tell me about her friend Amy who came to play today...(she doesn't exist) her first imaginary friend. It is so fun to hear her talk about her. She doesn't live in our town, she loves to dress up, and Evelyn doesn't remember how she looks...lol
9)Went on a picnic today with Trent after we picked him up on his lunch break for work. The Overton park rocks and we were the only ones there. The girls had a blast and we ate good food & had so much fun as a family.
10)I came across a baby hawk that couldn't fly by the high school on a ride with the girls today. If it was a stupid pigeon or something I wouldn't have cared. It could not fly, I didn't know what to do so wanted to help it. Called my bro Isaac but he was busy at work. Called Trent and he reminded me about the circle of life. But, Evelyn and I were concerned. We kept doing laps around the school. Yes, laps. I was trying to protect it from a dog...Ok you can laugh now. But I just really cared about this bird. After one of my laps I noticed a man in a truck took interest in it and then I was willing to leave it and drive home. Waste of time but hopefully someone could have helped it.

Heard Around The House:

1)Me: Evelyn if you don't stop your going to have to go to your room. Evelyn: (makes her hands into fists, scary snarl on her face) "Don't ever be in my life again!!".
*imagine my shock as my 3 year old is telling me this... how does she even know what a life is?? hmmmm
2)Evelyn: Mommy how come you love daddy all the time? Me:Because he is my husband and I will be married to him forever!
3)Evelyn: (while reading a princess book to herself) "Once upon a time when I was a young child I didn't know I was princess Aurora". It is so fun having her in this princess phase, she is adorable:)
4)Evelyn: (handing me a bunch of crayons) "Here are your flowers, and here are mine, I can't wait to get married to the prince and wear my beautiful dress". * As I add that she also gets to get married at a castle like building called a temple.
5)Lyla: hoddoooogh=hotdog
6)Lyla: Mama, mama, mama=please pick me up!! (She wants me to hold her 80%of the day).
7)Me: (calling) Evelyn come here, Evelyn...Lyla: Evban, Evban...its the cutest thing ever.
