Our lil man! Went to Green River's Sneak A Peek last night, and got lots of cute pics! He's still a boy so that's great! 1 1/2 more months and he'll be in my arms... can't wait! His arm looks funny in this pic, 3D ultrasounds are funny, but he's normal, they assured me! lol

SUMORE

2011-02-01T14:38:00.001-08:00

Some recent developments, Santa was generous this year, in the technology department, so my kids (Maddox) have been somewhat obsessed with the Wii, computer games, and other things) so here they are glued once again...

The kids aren't the only ones glued to the Wii

Pics Galore!

2011-02-01T14:30:00.000-08:00

Emmerson's room, not finished yet, but it's a start. Still have to put up her curtains, quilt the bed spread, and some other little odds and inns, she loves it though, she has her little table from aunt nichole that she reads her books on and has her own little jewlery box and millions of dollies and bears...
We rented a certain kids movie, (can ya guess?) anyway i've never seen two children more glued to a TV...

I've heard that an update from my blog might be nice, I have been slacking for sure! So here it is...

Emme's birthday...This little girl has grown faster than any other child possible i'm sure...I swear it was just yesterday she was my little baby....here's her two year birthday...she was scared of her cake by the way...
she got spoiled from everyone! we now have about 30 dolls in her room

but she LOVES the attention!

Thanksgiving Day, the roads were 'iffy' and I didn't want to chance em, so we had our first Thanksgiving with just our little family! I was sad ofcourse, it's my favorite holiday, and we missed our families, but I bought special dishes and silverware, and made the whole feast without skimping....so it was wonderful!

I know she's a turd and pulls naughty faces, but she is just that, so I think it's fitting...

Cakes? Anyone?

2010-08-21T08:31:00.000-07:00

Well, I've had tons of cakes in the last two months, I'm currently at my mom's house, and I'm horrible about taking pics of my cakes, so my parents do. I have some on my phone, some on my camera, and one that noone ever took a pic of, I'm going to contact the bride of that wedding and see if she'll email me one, I'm an idiot. Anyway in the mean time, here are the two that were on my mom's camera....

I was deathly ill for this cake..It tipped over in the car on the way to Pocatello.....(lots of construction and bumps) it wasn't a good weekend...not to mention I missed their sealing due to throwing up....

Piping the entire damask design by hand...had to take a 20 min break to give my wrist a break....needless to say.....everyone LOVED IT! So did I.....

recent pics

2010-06-14T17:38:00.001-07:00

it hasn't been that long since I took their pics, but Emmerson looks so much different, and it seriously takes two seconds....I know they look super photoshoped, but that's what I do..

sendin out the vibes

kinda wierd, but cute

she's LOVES her big brother, Max not so much
Their skin tones are crazy different.

Miss America of the house, yes she is in charge and she has

per-son-ality!

She's a little turd, but we sure do love her

2010-06-13T16:00:00.000-07:00

5 lbs. 12 ounces here...

It was a hard pregnancy, but I wouldn't change a thing,

(other than the extreme sickness for 4 months :)

We love this little man sooo much, I can't believe how much he's grown,

Things I love about my boy, and hope I'll never forget:

His freckles

He used to add 'O' on the end of everything,

Dad O Mom O Babe O

He had a funny little thing of putting his finger in other people's mouth, then into his own, then into someone else's, then his own (gross but really cute)

He's really lovey, and never wants me to be sad,

His sensitivity

His obsession for Pajamas

The way he puts things..."My needa habba...

& so much more...

Happy Birthday Maxxy

Sleeping Beauty...& other stuff

2010-03-19T16:08:00.000-07:00

I Think someone is going through a growth spurt..She has slept the last three nights from 10:30- until 10:00 without waking up..& she's taking a two hour nap as I type...I have gotten up those last three nights to check on her, just to make sure she's still ok. I honesly don't know what it's like to sleep that long. I am sooo amazed! Anyway she looked really beautiful sleeping today during her nap so I chanced taking a couple of pictures...she's getting big and I'm getting baby hungry...
Just to throw a picture of Buzz in there, we're to call him Buzz Lightyear from now on. He also let me in on a little secret today that he has a girlfriend. To my surprise, her name was Miss Emily (His preschool teacher) Ps..I love his freckles..

NEW RUGS! Let me know what you all think of em...My mom actually needed to see em, but I need all the opinions I can get. I ordered em off Overstock, (Free Shipping :) and when they came I was a little leary...But seeings how Emme smashed her chocolate cookie into the big one 10 minutes after it arrived, I guess that was it's welcoming stamp of approval...So I threw the packing away...I guess we like it now!

I really do like this one, It was supposed to go under my table, but it was a little small, so

dang it Matt, there must be another rug in our future...

Also, I love it when people post their fun home decor projects online, I've recently been busy painting and hardwaring (Ah..) my bathroom vanities...It was a task, but now my kitchen & bathrooms all match...some people say I'm crazy.They were brand new cabinets why mess with em, I wasn't a fan, so my moto is always, if you don't like something...change it to make it better....much better.

& yes, they're much much better...This picture is one of four...

BAHAMAS!!!!

2010-03-04T18:22:00.000-08:00

Check out this sunset! We recently went on a cruise to the Bahamas! I'm going to say, I'm the worse traveler of ALL TIME! Most people gain weight on cruises I've heard....I loose weight. I was soooo sick the majority of the time, I threw up almost everyday! It was great! So I tripled up on medicine, and that seemed to work for the last two days, then when I got home I had a reaction to the overdose and I threw up for two days after...It really was super fun when I felt good, I think I'll just have to keep the flights short, and the vacations on land. We had awesome family go with us, and it really was a blast! Fun in the sun, fun drinks, hot tubs, mopeds, natives, good food, & a break from the kids..Thanks Mom, Dad, & Nicole!
The Green D&G bag was my splurge, I got the lady to go down pretty low on the price, then Matt came over and said, "just buy it" He asked for it...Thanks Honey...

This was a little shop in the Bahamas, these ladies were soo funny, they jipped ya down pretty good on price...Heather and I got little bags for our girls, this lady was putting Elly's name on her bag!

2010-03-04T18:15:00.000-08:00

our room, it was fun, scary at night in middle of the ocean looking at the black waves.. Renting Mopeds on Nassau! This was awesome! You drive on the left side of the road, and everyone just honks at everyone...it was a little scary!

Matt makes a lot of fun of this picture, People who know me, know I kinda make this face when I look in the mirror...Ok I know I do it, i'm an idiot!

Matty sending out the vibes on the boat...12 floors...ready to go do some gamblin...

Hard Rock Cafe in Miami...I had an apple burger...it was different, but good!

2010-03-04T18:08:00.000-08:00

The first day walking on North Miami Beach...It was really clean and beautiful! Scoutin for seashells!
On the Boat at a show, Newlywed game, & comedy shows...They were pretty stinken funny..a little dirty, but good..

In Nassua, Bahamas! That was my favorite part!

ARuBA...JAMICA...

2010-03-04T18:00:00.000-08:00

& yes, he's taken
I always like to try new things... It was ok...I especially liked how they served
good ole ramen noodles under the duck...

There she blows...The Norweigen Sky...2,100 guests & 900 workers

Fun in the sun! The beaches were awesome!

White Trash Bedroom

2010-01-27T15:23:00.000-08:00

Ok so there's this blog that I LOVE! It's all about home decor...it almost hurts me to give it out, but here it is....AShopaholicmom.blogspot.com She's ok, but her links are awesome...I stole this idea from her, & I'm sure it's not the last one...

The Sheet Curtain....Put on some different sized buttons...Great Granny's to be exact...

It's really long so there's some puddling going on at the bottom.. (Which I love :)
THE AFTER...I put on different types of knobs I got at Home Depot....I love the Glass ones especially...

THE BEFORE...cute, but I like the white...it looks more clean and it brightens things up a bit...

The pillows......Different shades of white & cream....I love it...Believe it or not, I didn't have to buy any fabric...Just scraps I had buried in my massive fabric pile...

I got the doile at a thrift shop for 25 cents...i can't believe I purchased a Doile...boy have I changed..but it gives it a little old time class I think the bed needed

& then.....the river....The WHite trash bedroom....Old Window & Shutters....I raided my mother's wood pile on a recent trip home, and made some old shutters...just huked on some hardware and attached to an old window...I really love the old look with the fluffy white....It's my favorite room for the time being....

Cute kids hu? Uncle Adam loves em!

Christmas Wedding

2009-12-30T09:00:00.000-08:00

I bet it's wierd for brides to see their wedding cakes on my blog.

This one was for a wedding on December 18th.

I didn't take the picture once the glitter was all over it.

It was really Christmasy and pretty. The glitter looked like snow....She loved it!

Beauty Contest

2009-12-05T17:38:00.002-08:00

Miss Wyoming Merry Christmas Pagent...,.Well there were 18 little girls in just the 0-2 division, and Emmerson was a finalist, which means she gets to go to state, unfortunately I don't think I'm cut out for the Beauty Pageant ordeal, All the moms glaring and checking out your kid, Nope, not for me. It was kinda fun while it lasted, & we'll always have the memories! One Lady actually asked if she was mine, funny hu? She must look like her father.....ya think?
She got her little title ribbon....

2009-12-03T08:15:00.000-08:00

I think the crying ones are the BEST! You guys know you're laughing right now! Seriously this particular Santa Clause happens to be my Uncle Allen, but what poor man volunteers for this kind of abuse! Anyway Emmerson wasn't about to warm up to a fury guy with no face...

Happy Birthday Katie

2009-12-03T08:08:00.001-08:00

My Little Women had her first birthday on Nov. 21st!

& yea she has tons of names. Matt and I are wierd as it is with our names, and our little women kinda gets slammed with bizarre ones. Her middle name is Kate, so I often called her Katie, Katers, Matt calls her B Brown.. (Her dark skin color, we're wierd) Anyway she had a sweet little party with a whole bunch of family. She got a lot of dollies, which was a reality check to me, that wow I have a little girl, & barbies are probably on the agenda for next year. We sure love her though..
Deer in the headlights...

A Mouth full of food, she's a happy girl!

Boo...

2009-11-06T19:02:00.001-08:00

This was just one of Maddox's dinosaur costumes for Halloween.

The kid is sooo beyond belief obsessed with Dinosaurs, we have every dino movie ever made,

He throws a fit about wearing his dino pjs that have every dinosaur on them versus the ones that only have T-Rex and triceratops. He wears them under his clothes Every...single.....day.. I have to wash them while he sleeps. It's pretty stressful, but he's a pretty particular kid. Trust me, I've tried to reason with him, but like Cami said, "ya pick your battles."

Now baby sister, (that's her name according to Maddox) loves to wear anything. She especially loved her cute giraffe costume for Halloween.

The Kids outside waiting for Matt to come home right after we carved pumpkins, they loved it!

2009-10-22T08:01:00.000-07:00

My brother's cuter than crap little boy. He's his momma's boy, they look soo much a like. He's in an old truck, he wasn't wanting pictures taken, but I think this one's pretty dang cute.

2009-10-21T18:26:00.000-07:00

The Pictures look a lot better their actual size. Anyway, my mother wanted me to see all of the pictures I played with, so she could choose which ones I printed off for her before we came home. So here they all are mom.
There was a little pumkin display set up in old town, Matt thanked the lady for setting them up especially for us.

A couple Family Pics

2009-10-21T09:37:00.000-07:00

Thanks to Kim, we finally got some pictures to work with. There are plenty more to come. She did an awesome job. A tid bit nippy for the youngsters, but it was a good day. Here's our little family! p.s....Matt and I keep complaining how it's impossible to look good in pictures, when Emmerson takes all the glory, even when she's not looking!

2009-10-21T09:35:00.000-07:00

A Cute little bridge we found
Good Lookin TWINS

There was a kissy one, but we'll leave that one out....

2009-09-04T16:05:00.000-07:00

I know I should pay someone to take pictures of our family, but

seeings how photoshop is kinda my thing, I'll just continue being

stubborn. Here are my babies..........

2009-09-04T16:03:00.000-07:00

Another bites the dust....

2009-08-16T13:28:00.000-07:00

Well here she blows..... so I'm not one to brag, but this cake has NO flaws. I watched a fondant video, and believe it or not....it helped...TOnz, so I hope I have a happy bride tomorrow with this one. A couple things I'd like to mention..NO person touched this cake except myself. The baking, the fondant, the dying, the decorating......thanks....Also it's completely cake made from 'Scratch?' I never really understood that expression, but I'd like to mention it...Hope everyone likes it!

El finito............Well Almost

2009-08-07T09:51:00.001-07:00

Well here it is....My first wedding cake of the week. One more left. Can you believe I only had 2 this summer and they were both in the same week. Anyway this one gave me some grief and only took about 9 hours. Not bad considering I had my extremely pregnant sister in law helping me most of the time. Anyway I just hope Matt's cousin is happy with it. It's always fun....when it's done. Happy Weddings....stay tuned for the next cake in 5 days, it'll be less funky & more elegant..........Wish me luck...

10 things people might not know about me.

2009-07-15T07:29:00.000-07:00

Okay well everyone probably knows everything about me, but I'll try...
1- I'm kinda a clean freak, (nothing compared to Amanda) but yea when a comforter or pillow isn't sitting just right, it'll drive me crazy until it's perrfect.
2-I don't take showers, we never had a shower when I was growing up, so I still now prefer baths. (why not? they're relaxing, soothing, something I need everyday!) Matt always talks about the big tub he's going to make sure our next house has, cause he knows I love em.
3-I LOVE scary movies, okay not soo much as I did prior to my lil ones, but I still love horror.
4-Okay I'm taking up 2 spots, but I love weird serial killer stuff. It was my major for a while in college, and for one year while working at a pretty intense job of me sitting there answering phones, I read all about...almost every serial killer out there on crime library.com. (Check it out) I gave it up after well, having a life, and becoming terrified their was a killer everywhere I went.
5-I love to do wedding cakes. I'm still a rookie, but with hard work, (Liz's help) I'd like to do more.
7-I golf. Ok so I'm not awesome...well as awesome as I should be for as much as I do, but I do golf a lot more than the average mother of 2. Thanks to golfer of the year, I do have some pretty nice sticks, and shoes, Matt thinks he needs to take care of his women. We have won the couples tourney once and taken second once, We've only been in it twice, but I worked really hard those days, didn't want to disappoint MAtty...
8-I no longer wear high heels, this is for all my old school friends...I had a height complex and I never thought I'd live past it, but lets just say I don't have back problems as bad...I've accepted my 5'3...okay 5'1 bod..
9- I like to lay out....okay so my ten things make me look like a real winner....seriously Matt would laugh, but I work my butt off all day and when it's nice I like to take 30 minutes to myself and go lay out and throw water balloons for max, sometimes at him..which I also enjoy..
10- I receive power tools for birthdays, Christmas, mother's days...you name em. Matt knows I do stuff, like stain fences, sand...a lot..and drill awesome stuff....hence...I get power tools., and I'm grateful...

Fourth of July stuff

2009-07-14T07:51:00.000-07:00

Halarious I know...notice how Maddox's hand kinda over powers Emmerson's body. He's going to be a big boy, so people have told me. Anyway Matt and I especially like how Emmerson's arm is outside the truck like she's posing already. Super cute...
Fourth of July day out at the lake. Matt displaying parent of the year...Maddox got a new toy, Matt was just testing it out.

MORE BEDROOM STUFF FOR BONNIE & OTHER STUFF 2

2009-06-17T16:22:00.000-07:00

So these posts are way odd I know. They're just a couple of pictures I had in my camera. We took the kids to Ross park a couple weeks back. I'm not even sure if I've already posted this. Anyway it was fun and warm and the kids loved it. P.S. Maddox really really loved Carter's 'Lightning Mcqueen hat.
My room. I'm pretty sure there were finger smudges on my camera lens. I wonder why.......anyway crapy picture quality..

Our guest bedroom, which will be redone shortly. I just finished one of my bathrooms upstairs, and this room is next. Well maybe the cabinets. Something. I know I sound crazy, but when I walk by rooms I don't like I actually get sick. It's a weird quirk of mine.

aWeSOmE stUfF...

2009-06-17T16:09:00.000-07:00

This is for you Bonnie. Well recently my friend asked to see some pictures of some of the rooms in my house seeings how she'll NEVER come visit. Just kidding, but not really. She wants some ideas for painting, i'm not that creative, I once was when we first moved in, but Igot sick of it and repainted. A lot of my friends here make fun of me for being paint obsessed. I'll take it. Keep in mind Bonnie, I haven't decorated her room as much as I'd like.
My green wall. (my ugly cabinets located towards your left) they will soon be painted.

my smallest child. Yeah she went blonde (can't win em all) She's extremely adorable, so I'm not going to complain!

Uncle Ben at the zoo with his two little nieces (Super cute)

Maddox actually took this picture of me. He's kinda obsessed with my camera. He actually starts shaking when he sees it. That's how bad he wants to have it. So I let him for a couple minutes.

Girly stuff....

2009-05-26T17:19:00.001-07:00

This is the kinda stuff that happens when both of your kids are sleeping.

Last night Maddox woke up yet again with a way high fever. So we were up all night long. Including Emmerson. Anyway this changing table we bought for Maddox when he was a baby. It was a deep cherry wood color. Anyway a couple of days ago I felt like getting crafty and making a mess, so today I finally completed it. The crib is out in the garage awaiting its transformation. It fits her room perfectly. White and girly! P.s. it turned out WAYY better than I could've imagined. The next step, getting Matt to let me transform the kitchen cupords.

Prinny PRincess..Pierced Ears..

2009-05-09T15:20:00.001-07:00

Here's to you Kim!
Recently my friend and I were horrible mothers and took our precious little babies
and did something REAL mean.
We paid someone to pierce their little ears.
But look how stinken cute, RIGHT? Also I heard it better to do it while they're young, because
it's a lot worse when they can whine and complain about if it's going to hurt, Emmerson doesn't seem to mind at all.
My friend Kim wanted to get her little girl's done for a couple months
now, so I just kinda had her come with me, and both girls only cried for about a minute,
but I just wanted to post a picture of her to show
how pretty she is.
I promise we're not mean mommies...
HAPpy MotheRS Day by the way....to all you moms...

Happy B-Day Grandma....

2009-04-28T09:12:00.000-07:00

Okay I know this is kinda funny, but my great grandma is 92 years old.

That's pretty good too, she's pretty stinken healthy also.

Anyway this week we went home to visit the family in Bear Lake, it was raining the whole time, so my mother and I decided to put an entire day to visiting grandmas. This picture is of my great grandma Susie. My great great grandma Olive lived until she was 98. That's pretty amazing to me. We looked through photo albums and she knew all the dates, the people, and some of the smallest little details such as what they had to eat on that day. Here's to you Grandma, We love you.
My little happy women on her brother's bday.

Maddox and his litttle friends.

WOODY.....BUZZ

Well, this would be our little woody, obviously loves Toy Story, so my mom thought it would be cute to make him a leather vest with fringe hanging off the bottom and burn his nme into it. It came complete with cowboy hate, & two guns. He loves it. He had an awesome birthday party, We had a little party out to a park where the wind decided to take over. I think all in all it worked out pretty good. Maddox's grandma Smith and Grandma and Grandpa Tarbet came up along with Uncle Ben and Uncle Josh. He had tons of little friends come and blow bubbles and it was a blast. Thanks everyone for coming and playing and being good friends! We love you all!

EASTER eAsTEr & a Lil Birthday fun....

2009-04-14T08:19:00.000-07:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my baby........Three years old.

It was a pretty fun couple of days. Maddox's birthday was the day after Easter this year, so he's had his fill of cake, candy, eggs, and presents.

This was a lil birthday cake I built or him. He looked like him to me. All chocoloate inside. Tasted 'Dood'

Dying Easter Eggs Friday night, (Dora the Explorer Dye Kit) We only had one casulty. Maddox thought the little dye tablets were candy, it was a little to late when I caught him. Lets just say the green wasn't as bright as it could have been.

Our good friendsthe

Sorensens invited us to a little Easter Egg hunt in their fun backyard. Matt was helping Maddox find some eggies. He had a blast.

SPRING?

2009-03-31T18:02:00.000-07:00

My Little Girl Blue
We Went Golfing almost everyday for a week when the weather got almost to 70 degrees. It's obviously back down in the 20-30's but we loved it while it lasted.

Maddox really likes to golf, funny I wonder where he gets it from. We bought him real golf clubs for his birthday in a couple of weeks. I think Matt's more excited them him. I love my golf boys.

Cute....

Almost 4 years...with two kids?

2009-03-03T14:56:00.000-08:00

What can I say, apparently we get busy, Okay well I guess it's 4 years in June, so a couple months away, but not a lot of my friends were able to come to my wedding, so I thought I'd post some pictures. Matt looks soo much different to me. He looks super skinny or something. This was honestly one of the best days of my life. We got married in Logan at the temple, and afterwards went to a luncheon at the zoo. It was wayyy fun. The weather was really nice, and the food and company were even better.
This isn't the best picture, but my mom made my dress, and I just wanted to give her props from how hard she worked on it. She's really talented and I love er. Not bad for a dress that cost $99.00, I know I bought the fabric.

Me and My man smoochin outside on the temple grounds. Oh lala

I've been Tagged

2009-02-23T16:21:00.000-08:00

1- Where were you when you found out? With Maddox I was in our first little one bedroom apartment, I wanted to surprise Matt, so I went to Albertsons after I got off work, when I went to check out I saw him at the check out, (he had gotten off work early and was getting us dinner to surprise me, I waited on an isle for him to leave, I didn't want him to see what I was buying. That night I took the test and came out and showed him, we were excited because we were trying only for one month. With Emmerson I was at my parents house by myself. It was 5 days before I was to have my period, and I was just excited.
2- Who did you first tell? With Maddox Matt was first to know, then with Emmerson I told Matt's mom first. She was the only one I could get ahold of. I knew she would be really really excited (she loves her grand babies)
3- Did you find out the sex of the baby? Ofcourse! I'm not the kind of person who is patient. Matt told me with Emmerson not to get to excited if they tell us it's a girl. They gave us a 80 percent that is was a girl. I couldn't stand it, I had to tell everyone. Matt was really hesitant telling people it was a girl. We got three more ultrasounds after that, and she still came out a little girl. :)
4- Did you have morning sickness? Actually I'm surprised I had another one after Maddox, I seriously threw up for three months straight. One day I actually counted how many times I threw up, 27 times in one day. Beat that! I worked 5 days a weeks from 7 am to 5pm, in a dirty nasty oil field shop, I smelt dirty old men everyday (it was horrible) I worked with a garbage can next to my desk. With Emmerson I just had to eat like crazy to keep from getting sick, I still threw up almost everyday for three months, but it was TONZ better than with my first.
5- How much weight did you gain? Ohh the weight question..I gained the exact same with both of my children....14 Lbs, and I know some people have said, "That's unhealthy" Well I think my doctor would probably have the best say on that. For those of you who know me, I eat like a horse, and I also work out a lot. I don't hit the treadmill like crazy when I'm expecting, but I do like to keep myself healthy. My doctor said it's great that I'm working out while pregnant. It's actually a lot better than sitting on the couch and watching TV. I just mostly like to go on walks while i'm pregnant, it helps me to feel good and makes delivery a lot better. Besides when I only push out 5-6 pound babies, I shouldn't gain much more than 14 Lbs. My kids were both healthy, and believe you me, I tried to eat and gain weight with Emmerson. I actually like bigger babies, I do feel like the little 5 pounders are going to break. I was on bed rest with her for almost 3 months, and I could not gain weight, I think it's just your genes or something.
6- Did you get any stretch marks? I got one right where I had my belly button pierced (the stupidest thing I have ever done) I was punished for getting that. The stretch mark is pretty small, but I lived in Palmers cocoa butter with both of my pregnancies, I almost throw up when I smell it, still to this day, being pregnant with Maddox did that to me .
7- Did you have any cravings? I just always wanted sorbet. Matt's funny, he likes watching me eat things that he knows I LOVE, seafood, and sorbet. He always would buy me differnt kinds of sorbet while I was pregnant. then he'd watch me eat it. He really took some time picking them out at the store. He would always bring me like 3 tubs back too. Wierd, but I loved it!
8- Were there any complications? Not really, Maddox was 4 weeks early and he did awesome. Emmerson also had a mucus plug that she had to cough up while she was blue, but she was fine after that.
9- When and where did you go into labor? Both times I just decided to go to the doctor and he broke my water and away we went.
10- Did your water break? NOPE
11- Who drove you to the hospital? My great scared to death mother both times. I really love her for taking care of me.
12- Who was in the room for the birth? with MAddox, My mom, Matt's mom, Ramona (really loud) Matt, tons of people outside the door, my dad was standing behind the curtain. With Emmerson My mom, Matt's mom, barely Matt.
13- Was the baby born early or late? Maddox 4 weeks early, Emmerson 2 weeks early.
14- How long were you in labor for? With Maddox I went to the doctor at 3:30 and he was born at I believe 9:08, I really only pushed for 1 hour. With Emmerson I went over at 10:30pm or something like that, and she was born at 2:15. I think I'm pretty bad at times. I only pushed for 15 minutes with her. I THINK> Matt's mom might read thins and correct me on a few things.
15- Did you have any drugs for the pain? You bet ya! (my dad always says that) pretty funny! Ofcourse I did i'm not stupid. I felt nothing with MAddox, I felt a few contractions with Emmerson and I HATED IT, give me the drugs...NOW!
16- Natural or c-section? ALL NATURALLL BABY!
17- What was your first reaction after birth? I laughed with Maddox, he grabbed the sizzors and the doctor's hand and the doctor was hand tied, Matt was all shocked the baby was finally out, it was like he was stunned and couldn't move, I had to reach my hand up there and get the babies hand off the sizzors....typical men.
18- How big was the baby? Crap I hope I get this right. Maddox 5'11, Emmerson 5'8
19- Date and time of birth? Maddox, April 13 06 9:08pm or 9:05pm, Emmerson, Nov 21 08 2:15am
20- Baby's name?Maddox James Tarbet, Emmerson Kate Tarbet
21- Does the name have any significant meaning? I loved the name Maddox, Matt loved the name James, and we both just loved Emmerson Kate
22- Did the baby have any complications? NOPE
23- How old is the baby today? one month away from 3 years, and 1 week over 3 months.
25- Would you change anything about it? I wish I would have had the epidural sooner with Emmerson. Why feel it if you don't have too ya know. Also I just really wish I wouldn't dialate so soon with my kids. It's a lot of worrying, when I think that's just my bodies way of having a baby.

HAPPY loVe DAY

2009-02-14T09:30:00.000-08:00

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL!!!
This was a cute little valentines card I made for the grandparents, and for Matt.
(CUTE THINGS MY FAMILY DOES THAT I LOVE)
-Maddox-Every morning in the cutest little voice he says, "hiiiii mom," the hi always lingers.
-Many times during the day he grabs my face (quite hard) and kisses my lips. He's never said he loves us, it's always just a kiss.
Emmerson- is sooooo happy in the mornings, she kicks her little feet & arms & smiles like crazy.
-Almost anytime you talk to her she gives out a huge grin.
-Matty- When he comes home in the mornings from working all night he's soo tired, but he always walks upstairs kisses us all & gets in bed with us for about an hour or soo, until the kids start to wake up. (We have wierd sleeping habits)
-He brings me flowers & chocolates all the time. Every time he goes to the store.
Anyway I Love my little family and all the funny things they do.

"NUMPIES" ThAt's whAt I calL em!!!

2009-02-09T17:50:00.000-08:00

Yeah, Okay so I've been a little picture crazy lately. My mother in law said something to me a while back that kinda stuck with me, and I hope I never forget. When Heather and I had our little girls Tammy said she felt like she almost had a sickness. That sickness being that she couldn't take the pictures fast enough. She felt as though the time was slipping by, if she didn't click the camera the moment would be forgotten. When I thought of that it made me feel the same way. I love the blog world, it gives even more reasons to capture these sweet little babies growing up. Take my advice, click the camera as much as you can, and share it with the world!
Me and my "buba girl" I was taking pictures of all of us for Matt for a v-day card, jeez I hope he doesn't see this before Valentines :( Anyway that's why I stuck my fat face in front O the camera...

She's TUte......We Still LOve er..........can you believe it!

2009-02-08T17:18:00.000-08:00

I was tickling under his chin and pitties, (that's what Maddox calls his arm pits) Apparently he had some gum in his mouth.
He's getting Huge isn't he?

Emmerson kinda looks like a gomer here, but I thought it was a cute pic.

It has been so warm in Rock Springs. Almost 50 this last week every day, so I've taken Maddox to all the different parks. I love that about Rock Springs. They have so many nice parks. Tons of water parks in the summer that are free, and the kids love it. It's really a good place to live.

I just recently read one of my friends blogs and she was listing all the things that her little boy says that are halarious. She mentioned that she thinks she will always remember, but she never does, so I thought I'd post some of Maddox's moments.

-We were in church today and I had just came back from taking care of Emmerson. Right when I sat down Max yells, "Poop Mom." I looked at Matt with disgust. (We've been potty training for a really long time now, and he still hasn't grasped the concept) Anway Matt was laughing and decided to show me something. He tried to pick Maddox up and sit him on his lap, when Maddox yelled really loudly, "No, my poop guys" He didn't want Matt to squish his poop in his pants. Turns out the little stinker didn't even poop, he just peed.

-He always adds "yet" on the end of everything. "Baby sister ready go....... yet?"

-The other day I told him that he was adorable, his reply, "No me not durble, me Maxy.......yet?"

-This is really sad, because he's said so many funny things, but I can't remember, when I do they'll be more to come.

I'm pretty Proud! A Close UP!

WEDDING CAKE FUN....

2009-01-23T20:32:00.000-08:00

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to post the wedding cake I made for Quinn Pope and Toshani Sorrell's wedding. It was way fun, and it turned out soo good. She loved it, her husband said she was soo happy she cried. That made me feel good. I had tons of help from my sis in law Nicole. Thanks Nicole couldn't have done it with out you!

I LOVE KUNG FUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!

2009-01-12T17:34:00.000-08:00

I Know what you're all thinking. Who was awesome enough to make a Kung Fu Panda? Well you're right, the awesome ones were us. Maddox loves Kung Fu Panda, what little kid doesn't? Anyway Matt got the brillant idea instead of our usual 8 foot snowman, to try and build a panda. Anyway we thought about it, thought about what things would work, we came up with some spray paint, and a sweet red kung fu belt. This was the outcome. Anyway Matt was pretty proud of it, and Maddox thought it was pretty alright himself. I think we did a good job, it was fun. My mom is probably the most festive person on the planet, so we went ahead a built her an 8 foot snowman like I promised. The second picture is a picture of me next to our awesome snowman. Matt wanted a height comparison, so the shortest person ever stood next to it. It was pretty tall. Matt's already got ideas for next years masterpiece. Ps. Max was super scared of the snowman...

2009-01-06T15:00:00.000-08:00

Aren't these the cuties, sweetest, yummiest lil girls ever? We had a little nights get away out to HarborVillage and took the little boys swimming. It was really fun. The one with the mohawk is mine Emmy, the other one is Heather's baby Elly. Matt's mom got them both these outfits, seeings how Emmerson is about to grow out of hers, I figured I'd stick it on her and take a picture before it was to late. Anyway

they're sweet little girls who'll back on these pictures one day and see how precious they were. We LOVE EM!

Maddox and Carter being little Hellians. They really do love playing together. Maddox isn't the best sharer, but we're working on it. Playing with his cousin Carter makes for some good practice. Thanks for being a fun cousin to Max and putting up with his guff Carter!

2008-12-29T18:49:00.000-08:00

Maddox rubs his hair whenever he gets tired, or the second a sippy cup full O milk touches his lips, when it's bed time Matt and I just tell him to rub his hair, works like a charm everytime.
She's getting pretty chuby, about 9 Lbs now. What can I say, I feed her good. It's funny when your babies are brand new they go crossed eyes a lot, it's kinda cute, but kinda not, anyway she's starting to focus a lot better. Pretty stinken cute I'd say...

My Babies

2008-12-29T18:47:00.000-08:00

I had to talk Maddox into kissing his little sister, after he agreed it was pretty adorable.

2008-12-07T17:35:00.000-08:00

This little girl is getting so big. I know she probably doesn't look big to all of you, but after only 5 days, she passed her birth weight. We brought her home weighing only 5Lbs. 3 ounces, and 5 days later she was 5Lbs. 10 ounces. The doctor was really surprised. I took her back 5 days later and she was 6Lbs. 8 ounces. That's been about a week and half, so she's gotta be in the seven pounds. Anyway she's doing great, and a much better sleeper than Maddox. I love my little boy to death, but he cried constantly, always wanting me to bounce him, but Emmerson doesn't really make a peep. She wakes up every three hours to eat then she's back to sleep. I got really lucky with her. Anyway life's back to normal, or getting there. We're back in Rock Springs now, and Matt goes back to work tomorrow. I really loved having him home so long. Anyway excitment winding down and Christmas is coming. Happy Holidays!

Our Little BLESSING

2008-11-23T11:34:00.000-08:00

This picture says it all. I can't explain how much I love this little girl. She's so healthy but sooo small. My belly was a lot bigger with her, but she was actually smaller than Maddox. 5Lbs 8 ounces...TINY......but small things really do come in small pkgs. We really love her. Sorry there's not much more to say I promise I'll let you guys all in on the labor story..

Daddy

2008-11-23T11:33:00.000-08:00

Matty looking at his daughter for the first time

HEAD O HAIR

2008-11-23T11:31:00.000-08:00

Well lets just say she's got a lot of hair. Everyone says they knew she would. I had hair like this when I was little so maybe the girls take after their mommies and boys after their daddies. Anyway she's so beautiful to me.

2008-11-23T11:28:00.000-08:00

A super happy little family! We haven't been able to get Maddox to get close to her. He's so scared for some reason, he's never seen anything so small that moves and almost looks human. He says her name quite a bit, but he's still figuring her out.

BaBY NeWS.....

2008-11-18T19:17:00.000-08:00

Hey no we haven't gotten our small child yet, but the time is definitely approaching. I'm now dilated to a 5 and almost fully effaced. My appointment is Friday morning, and if I'm dilated more, then we'll just break my water and hopefully have a baby that afternoon or night. I'll just call Matt and by the time he gets there we'll be pushing out baby. Exciting, but pretty dang scary. I just really hope she's healthy.

2008-11-16T14:39:00.000-08:00

Okay I'll be honest. I kinda wanted to rub in my birthday present. It's like my dream car, and Matt surprised me on my birthday with it. It was pretty cute. He said he wasn't going to be there for a couple more days, and he showed up that night and walked in and handed me the key. He even got some red paper and cut it all up to make a big bow. The bow didn't turn out soo good, but let's just say it was the best birthday present ever, he spoils me. Now I can look forward to not getting stuck in my driveway about 30 times with 2 small children this winter. I have to tell the funniest story on how he bought it, I seriously hadn't laughed that hard forever. Okay so Halloween night at 5:30 (dealership closes at 6, they were expecting him) He gets off work early and goes home to jump start his not so awesome car that just sits in our garage, that was like $2,000 he bought 5 years ago. He was going to trade it in. Anyway like I said it's a piece of junk (sorry honey) he's gets in the middle of an intersection and the car dies, right in the middle of construction, did I mention it was 5:30 on a Friday night in Rock Springs, CRAZY......His worst nightmare come true. I love it. Anyway there are these Mexican guys that run up and pushed him out of the way. The whole time they're talking smack on his piece of crap car and on him saying what an idiot he is. They're speaking spanish so Matt wouldn't understand. For those of you who know Matt, you know that Matt speaks spanish. He gets out of the car and agrees and tells them, yeah the car is a piece of crap. Anyway they're shocked this white guy in this piece of crap car can speak spanish. They get talking & Matt tells them he's going to buy his wife a new car for her birthday and trading in this piece of crap one. They ask how much the dealership will give him for the car, Matt replies, "about 500 bucks, if I'm lucky" They respond, "Man, I'll give you 500 bucks" so Matt says, "Will you give me 500 bucks and a ride to the dealership?" Yeah Man.....So Matt did some dirty selling on the side of the road to some Mexicans who just happened to have 500 dollars in cash, and he got a ride with about 8 of them to the dealship in a small little car. I don't know about you guys but the picture of that in my head is halarious. I know it's long, but I really wanted to share it.

37 WEeKS!!! FuLL TERM!

2008-11-14T08:52:00.000-08:00

Hey, I just wanted to let everyone know what's going on with me and my little girl. I've been on bed rest for about 4 1/2 weeks and all is well. I've made it to 37 weeks, and my doctor isn't concerned about her well being at all. He said she's around 7 Lbs. and growing like crazy, so she's definitely passed up her big brother. I went in yesterday one day before my appointment because I've been having so many contractions, they were five minutes apart. I wasn't sure if they were BH, or the real thing. See I never felt them with Maddox, so I didn't know. Anyway I went in and they were the real thing, I've dilated 2 more cm, and I'm almost completely effaced, so my doctor said any day now. He's said he's on alert, so I'm pretty excited. He said that if I was to a 5 he would have just taken me over and broke my water, but I think I'll keep her in there a couple more days. I just hope that Matt will be able to make it. Apparently he wants to be there, he acts like it's a big deal...j/k, but I hope all goes well.

2008-11-01T14:26:00.000-07:00

When we went out to Grammy Tammy's house Maddox had to swing on their swing. I thought it was a cute picture.

2008-11-01T14:24:00.000-07:00

Maddox's carved pumpkin. It's traditional. HE loved it though

Happy HALLOWEEN

2008-11-01T14:17:00.000-07:00

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Maddox with his little friends on Halloween at their Great Grandma's house. The two little kids are Ramona's kids. Ty and Dacie Marie. Maddox is a pretty shy kid, so it's kinda hard getting a picture of him when he's around a lot of people who he doesn't know. He had fun though. It was an eventful day. We went to Great Great Grandma's house, we went to Kings twice to get his picture taken, We went out to Grammy Tammy's house. Maddox fell asleep a couple of times actually, but around 8:00 we woke him up and decided to take him to a couple of houses. We were only going to go to 3 or 4, but he loved it sooo much (I think it was the candy) that we went to probably 15 houses. He got out on everyone. I stayed in the truck. I felt like a fat lazy mommy who couldn't help, so my mom took him. He Loved it soo much. He learned Trick or Treat and Halloween...We only took him to the houses with lit up pumpkins and other fun stuff, I wanted him to grasp the Halloween idea. Matt couldn't be there last night, or today for my birthday, which stinks pretty bad, but he's being a good dad and taking care of us.

Adam's Navy graduation!

2008-10-31T09:27:00.000-07:00

My mom and dad just got back from Chicago to see Adam graduate. They took Adam's girlfriend Wesli. She's such a pretty girl, and Adam really loves her. She's wearing a ring, so we don't know what exactly that means, but we'd love to have her in our family. Adam loves the Navy, but we spoke with him yesterday and he has a really bad cold. Two days ago they put them in the ocean, in about 30 degree weather and asked them physic questions. Adam said his hair turned to ice in 3 minutes. That made me feel really bad, but he says he loves it. We miss him!

Recent Bed Rest NEWS!

2008-10-27T18:36:00.000-07:00

Hey I just wanted to let everyone know how excited I was today when I went to the doctor to find out whether or not I was dilated more. I was supposed to see my doctor on Friday the 24th of October and he was going to tell me if I could go to Rock Springs or not for the day to a baby shower my friends there planned. He ended up delivering a baby and had some ER calls, so he couldn't see me. We went anyway, and Sunday night I was feeling some pressure and I was so scared that my color drained from my face and my lips were blue. (What other people told me I looked like) Anyway you could say I was extremely worried. I was positive I was going to be dilated to a 6, 7, or even an 8. I was still only to a 2. I was sooo happy I started crying. It was the best news ever! I really don't want to see my baby fly away in a helicopter. I just wanted to let everyone know what's been going on, and how excited I was....I feel really blessed and grateful...

2008-10-22T16:03:00.000-07:00

okay this picture is super blurry, but I only took one, so it'll have to do. I can't believe that I actually took a picture of me pregnant and posted it, but I thought I'd fill in everyone on what's happening. I'm officially on bed rest at my mother's house, and it stinks. I thought for sure I'd have a normal pregnancy this time around, but turns out I'm not that lucky. I went in to see my doctor and he said I was dilated to a 2 and I was 50% thinned out. Sorry for the detailed terms, but I was only 32 1/2 weeks along then. This Saturday I'll have 6 weeks left, which the more time my little girl can spend in my tummy the better. Apparently you're not supposed to paint your garage when you're 7 months pregnant. What can I say I have to be doing something all the time! So..... being on bed rest, the hardest thing for me, but I'm taking it serious and I'll try my very hardest to keep her inside for 3-4 more weeks. Wish me luck...and healthy babies......

2008-10-22T16:01:00.000-07:00

2008-10-22T15:57:00.000-07:00

We were home this last weekend and Matt gave Maddox a ride on the motorcycle out to Grampy Tammy's house. Maddox loves anything that goes. He calls everything a snowmo.

2008-10-17T15:06:00.001-07:00

(4) things I love about my husband:
1-His insane good looks, (& seriously I'm not just saying that because everyone does about their husband, I really think Matt is one of the hottest guys ever, lucky me)
2-I love how he's so much different than all the guys he hangs out with. (Mostly Halliburton guys) No matter where he gets invited to, he will not go unless he can bring me & Maddox. (he's a keeper)
3-Geez I'm kinda getting choked up, he makes me laugh a ton, I mean honestly who doesn't Matt make laugh.
4- There really is so many things, but all in all he's the best guy ever, He supports his family, and kills himself working up to 110 hours a week for us. He really makes us happy. He's strong in the church and that reflects the man he is today. I love you baby! (ps....he's singing The Jungle Book right now to Maddox, like I said, funny)

4 movies I could watch over & over again
1- Underworld movies ( I watch em when I'm on the treadmill, Matt and I like vampire movies)
2- King Kong-the special effects are really cool, I promise I'm not lame & besides I love sci-fi
3- As good as it gets ( good flick)
4- Italian Job (Good actors, cool plot)

TV shows I watch
1- American Idol
2-I should probably start watching the office, seeings how Matt is kinda obsessed, he always tells me I should.

Places I have been
1-This is really embarrassing, I haven't traveled a lot, but I wish I could. Vegas a bunch of times
2-California a couple of times
3-The West coast, the ocean
4- South Dakota, when I was younger, Sad I told you.

places I would like to go
1-Greece sounds cool doesn't it
2-Paris
3-Hawaii, terrified of flying, but I gotta go somewhere tropical
4-Chile, Matt really needs to go back I know he feel in love with the people, I would love to share that with him, and besides when we were dating he was planning on going there for 2 months, he didn't go because he said he didn't want to leave me. No refund. Sweet guy.

Things I look forward to in the next year:
1-Also my little girl growing up ( hope she arrives safely, I have my babies super early, it's so scary, sometimes I hate my body)
2-Watching Maddox grow up into a smart healthy beautiful little boy.
3- I'm going to have to copy Heather on this one, wearing normal clothes and getting my body back.
4-going on a good vacation with Matty, just Matt (well maybe some friends or family, but perhaps a break from the kids.

People I tag:

I also thought this was the cutest picture ever. I know Maddox isn't smiling, we couldn't get him to, but these are my mom and dad's pumpkins that they grew in their garden this year. We decided to pick them that day, We lined them all up and sat these cute little boys down in front of them just so you can see how big they are. The little boy on the right is my nephew Cooper. He's a cute little man....

Maddox and his grandma Smith. I thought this was a cute fall picture with the pretty leaves in the background.

Our Little Baby Girly! Matt and I went and got a 3D ultrasound. It was way fun! We got tons of images. We got a DVD to watch that's about an hour long, she sucks her fingers and opens her eyes. No hiccups yet, but we're excited!
