Happy Birthday Kessler!

 The baby is three!!

He loves Thomas the train, Percy, Henry and James.

He loves riding his scooter outside and will love riding his new bike he got for his Birthday.

He is so cute when he says yes it is "yeth" and also says "moobie feeters" for movie theaters.

He was excited for his birthday today. We dropped off some cupcakes at his cousins house and thought we were giving his birthday away.

He loves to watch movies and cartoons, and he still likes to come into my bed in the middle of the night almost every night.

He loves his brothers and his sister and gives them hugs all the time.

He loves to drink a bottle still, I am thinking though that might end today...we don't need a 4 year old bottle drinker we have got to cut him before then:)

Love that little man, he is the cutest and sweetest little guy around.

This is a video from our vacay in Orlando that cracks me up from Kessler.

ummm..... up to day 81?

I am so confused right now at what days I have actually taken a picture for and blogged for? So I know today I should be on 81 and that is where we will end anyway. I explain sometimes the pictures on facebook and should be giving more detailed info on my blog, but I have been so busy, I don't even really know how the day slips away so fast but it does.

Yes our day around here starts about 6:30, 1 hour and 15 minutes before the kids leave for school, and their schedule is as follows (most days) get up, turn on the fireplace, sit there for 10 or so minutes, eat breakfast, make their lunches (we have been trying to switch that to the night before) except they get to eat school lunch on Wednesday's. Get dressed, with shoes and socks, get back packs ready, brush teeth, comb hair and it usually is a few minutes before 7:45....

This picture is a pre-hair do for Alivia.

Cooper eating breakfast before school on a good day he got dressed before he made his breakfast.

St. Patty's day, all decked out in green!

 We are somewhat a neutral party on the BYU or U of U band wagon around here, obviously we lean a little bit more blue than Red (even though Ben graduated from the U only because of commute)

Anyway it was fun to watch the BYU game for College basketball and feel the Jimmer sensation.

 That little Kessler is a mama's boy through and through, he has loved to give me kisses for a long time and has always kissed me on my lips. He puckers his lips so cute, I wanted to get this shot for some time and am so glad I finally did. (tomorrow is his birthday) my baby is going to be 3...wow!

 Alivia outside burning off some energy before dance, she loves her ballet class she was doing gymnastics, but do to the one car situation we couldn't keep the second class. She still loves doing the few things she has learned in the gymnastics class though.

Like I said on FB I am going to try and stay caught up it actually might save me some brain damage and time.

Now I probably should go get caught up on the things that I have been neglecting from blogging and picture taking....

70,71,72,73 (behind again)

 Behind again not only on 365 project but my blog. So I might as well jump right in and update what has been going on. 

Or what hasn't I suppose, after having about 3 weeks off of work, I am back my usual which has been Tulsa OK. Lately.

The kids had a 3 day weekend and we had a blast, we went swimming and got to sleep in after springing forward.

Ben had the weekend off and you can tell from the picture above they were glad to have him home. I love that Kessler is trying to save Cooper from Ben's legs.

 I am working on my schedule in the picture above, I am gaining seniority slowly, but have settled around 8% in SLC which is really good for only 12 years of service. I need to spend a little more time working on my schedule because I can start to be more picky these days with the trips I like to fly.

 Kessler in the morning, for some reason loves to put his boots on and see the kids off to school.

Other than normal life keeping us busy, we are glad for the warmer weather we have gone to the park, roller blading, and can see the tulips coming in, in the back yard.

Life is good~

One of the things I like to do after my kids go to bed....

68/365

Yes straight out of the box, battery inserted and picture number 0001. I think I am only on picture 0008 tonight. 

Today was a crazy day, busy I had a doctors appointment and ended up being there for 2 hours.

A very long story short, when I was 24ish, I was having some health problems and my doctor found some cysts on my ovaries, not shocking because one of my sisters has been diagnosed with  PCOS, (the other most likely) and was told that if I was thinking about having children I should think sooner than later, as the condition would most likely get worse.

18 months later and fertility drugs on board got pregnant with Alivia, basically being pregnant on and off the last 8 years "cured" or put the PCOS in a  "remission type state", well I found out today that it is back and not a mild version (like before).

I was relieved actually I have been feeling quite crappy the year or so, I have been reading lots this afternoon and tonight and it is making a lot of sense.

So...at least I know what the crazy is and has been going on.

A not so sad goodbye to my old camera, ok maybe a little. I learned everything I know to date with that camera, and I am so thankful for the new hobby. There is so much to learn I think that is why I like it so much and there are endless possibilities to your or anyone else's interpretation to the art of photography.

I sold it to a cute family who have little kids and want to be able to take good pictures of their kids, sounded very familiar. 

Just to explain the upgrade, the camera that I sold what considered a 450 model and the one I bought 500 model. I am moving my way up slowly but surely the best part about the new camera, HD video on the camera....I take lots of pics and not as many videos because I don't want to haul two camera's around not the  case anymore.

66/365- mama?

I can hear a new camera calling my name.......... if I can sell my old one (that is a condition btw).

A really great store that I sure you may know has a great camera on sale and so I desperately putting mine up for sale hoping I can sell it before the other at the store gets sold-will it happen....hopefully!!

The new camera is not a huge jump up from mine other than it has recording capabilities and some settings that are a tiny bit better than mine.

Also big day for Ben, we sold his truck. We really need to get a car or vehicle that gets better gas mileage. We are planning on trying to get by on one vehicle for the spring and summer. Not sure how well that will work out. Sad to see the truck go, not sad to see the payment, gas prices, insurance, maintenance etc... etc... that comes with a vehicle go.
