Congrats to My Hubby!

He received a promotion at work a couple of weeks ago! So he is now the lead installer for Magleby Companies Cabinets. He was working on the framing crew, and was ok with it, but he would have much rather been doing this he loves detail and is so good at it! He will now be the one to read the plans and make the calls instead of being the go for... guy! GOOD JOB honey! I knew you could do it! You just have to work hard and believe in your self! LUV YOU!

Happy B-day to Mom!

It was in January but we had a fun time. It was her 50th b-day, last year we did a party and this year it was just our family. It was fun! We went bowling and play games at Jack and Jills in Lehi, then had cake and Ice Cream at her house. Sabreena made a Wrangler Bum cake, we tried to make it black, but it was more of a gray color! Thanks for being a great mom , I wish you the best this year!

Life changers!

Ok so real fast before Tegan gets home I have to share three things that have changed my life.

1. Deals to Meals! Amazing blog about food storage and she makes your meauns each week for what you are going to eat with the deals of the week. The food is AMAZING! She is so worth the 4.95 a month I pay to get the grocery list and menu! I save so much money in food items and it is so much easier to shop for it!

2. Freebies2Deals tarted couponing last year because of her and she has made it so easy and fun I am addicted! I have so many free good shavers! And we got good deals on circus tickets last year!

3. FHE for a year! Love this every Saturday or Sunday she post the lesson. Its all there activity, lesson song and you just print, share, and comment about her site and it makes FHE so easy! The boys have really liked it!

Thanks to all these fine folks my life has been simplify a ton! I get to do the things I love and still spend time with the family!

Check them out they might just help you change your life!

The daily moring routine to get to the bus stop!

"Teg you have 15min before my alarm goes off, you better get ready, your going to miss the bus."
Tegan, "Is it friday?"
"No, we have ___ day till friday."
"Oh ok when I get home can I play Halo"
"You have to"
He interrupts "I know I will do my homework , I know I know geeze"
"Not everyday is a game day, you play way to long when you play."
Nothing from him.
"Teg come eat please are you dressed yet you have 10min before my alarm goes off"
"Ok can you help me with my...."
"Yes come here, Where is your...."
Watch T.V a little longer.
"Teg I am going to shut that off if you don't hurry. My alarm just went off, are you done eating?"
"Yes, but I didn't brush my teeth!"
"Hurry Tegan you are going to miss the bus, you need to get up when I ask buddy, this drives me crazy!"
"Do I have to do my hair today mom?"
"It would be nice,but we don't have time, get you jacket, your gloves are in the bag, don't forget to turn in your.... hurry get in the car."
"Mom its a van."
"Oh sorry, the van"
Driving to the bus stop
"I hope we didn't miss it"
"I don't see anyone walking mom, oh there they are, we didn't miss it."
Waiting for the bus with 2min to spare
"Mom when you turn 21 you are old."
"Really"
"Yep and when you are 26 you are really old."
"Dad is 26"
"He is not going to die is he?"
"I hope not!"
"Oh there is the bus!"
He scrambles for the door every time and it is always locked. Is is like the bus is only going to open the door for 2 seconds and I am going to have to throw him on it.
So then I scramble for the unlock button to get to it by the time he says
"MOM geeze open the door, I going to miss the bus!"
"Bye have a great day, be good, listen to your teacher. I will be" slam door "when you get back and we will." Uh never mind I am done.

Early Mornings

We are a one car family, we sold both of our cars to help with our finances and got a minivan I know, but it has been nice with the kids not like I have enough to feel it but hey it works. I am getting off the subject. Anyway we are hoping with our tax return we might be able to get another one, but for now this is what we do. We have been taking Ty to work early, packing the kids up and going to Lindon. Not that far, but getting them in the car, with their dead wait sleeping bodies is giving me strong muscles I guess. For a little while Ty had to be there by 10min to 6:00am so I was getting up at 4:45 to make sure we left by 5:15am, because the group he carpooled with would leave if you were not there on time and then I would have to take him to Bountiful( never had to do that, but did not want to.) I have really enjoyed our morning drives together, even if we don't say anything but hold hands, it has made me realize how much we need each other, even when I still have to drag him out of bed to get him there on time and am waiting in the car with the kids. But he at least say thanks for making his lunch and things he has noticed I did that night before. In the silence I at least know we are in this together. Which I have not felt that way for a while so the effort has been noted and seen. That makes me feel like I am good for something after I have been waiting for him in car in the early hours of the morning. Love ya sweetie! We now get up at 5:45am to be there by 10min to 7:00am much better! Tegan hated it first, Broden did not care. Tegan now says are taking dad in the morning,night. Because he can't decide if it is moring or night when we leave and get back.

Fun Saturdays

The last two Saturdays Have been great for the Fam! Two Saturdays ago the boys and Ty went Ice Fishing at Strawberry with Grandpa Franc, Ben, Jer, Jordan, Rion, Logan and Grandma Franc. They Said they had a blast. I stayed home and worked from 10:00-5:30, but it was a great day. Brodens little face was so red and chapped, but he said he had fun! Jordan stepped in a hole they had drilled, I asked Ty if it was cold for her he said I don't know we didn't worry about it. But she still has a foot so I guess it wasn't like frost bitten or anything.

This last Saturday my friend Cherie, moved her nail stuff down to start doing nails from my house. I am really excited to have her here and I hope it all works out for her. We went to Del taco for Lunch (there went the diet when I ate the fries, but I will burn them off tomorrow I hope.) At Del Taco Broden was to short to get up the playset, so we told Tegan to kneel down like a Lion and let him stand on his back to get up, there was like four steps he had to do each time he did and did not complain once. They played so good and just helped each other out. They really do love each other! Then we went to Target while the boys went to Home Depot, because we were getting a mat for her chairs so the did not scratch the floor, and they were getting stuff to paint her desk and bathroom. We had decided that as long as we had been friends we had never been shopping together. So crazy, we both are on a budget and feel guilty so we just don't go. But it was way fun! The Bathroom is finally painted. (I will post some pictures when I get it decorated) Ty said now I don't have to hear about "When are we going to finish the bathroom?" My response was "Well you should have done it sooner and then you wouldn't have had to listen to me ask!" I am way excited! They stayed for dinner (which was pizza another thing to burn off) and then we set up her stuff some more! They are such great friends and have always been there for us I hope one day they will need us to do more stuff for them, because they are always helping us out in some way! Thanks Jim and Cherie we love ya!

This Saturday Ty made Hot Chocolate and Toast, Broden eat it just write and made him look like this!
