May has been a month of performances and graduations. First was Livie's spring TaVaci concert. She did such a great job and loved every minute of it. I love that when I tell her to smile she poses for the camera.Next was her dance revue with Dance Factory. She had so much fun and did a perfect job. We were so proud of her.Dylan graduated from kindergarten. He called it "congradulating". He

Dylan answered a questionnaire in his class for Mothers day. It was so cute that I decided to share it. Some of the things he said were right on, others not so much.He said:I love my mom because: "She likes to go to church."My mom loves me because: "She likes to drive me around."My moms favorite thing to do is: "Read."My mom looks very pretty when: "She does her hair."My mom gets the

I have been trying to do about one post a month, so I figured I better get on my April post. This has been a great month. I had the opportunity to go to Hawaii with my brother. It was so amazing. I had never been there before and I treasured every experience. Some highlights of the trip were:Snorkeling. I loved it and I could have done it all day. We saw enormous turtles who could be a tad

Dylan had a great birthday this year. He was so excited to turn six because it is only ten years away from sixteen and then he can drive a car. We had a friend party for him the Saturday before his birthday. They made wooden cars, pinned the dog on the firetruck and broke a pinata. They had so much fun.On his birthday he got the two presents he had been asking for and then we surprised him

There hasn't been a lot of things going on in January, but there have been a few random cute things.Dylan and Denver were playing together one day and Tangi and I dressed them alike. They loved being twins.Dylan decided that he needed to be a man and had Jon draw a mustache on him and he went around all day wearing that and his hard hat.Dylan also decided that he needed roller skates.

This may be the end of my good posting run, since I resume school on Monday. I thought Dylan and Livie looked so cute on Sunday that I had to take a few pictures. And yes, I am aware that my son looks like Harry Potter. We went sledding on Saturday and Dyl forgot to stop and slid into the fence. Dylan was also putting the moves on a couple of women on Sunday. He was one of my helpers in

We had a wonderful Christmas. We started by having a great party at my mom and dad's house on Christmas Eve. The kids were so excited, nothing we could do would calm them down. So they settled on wrestling each other to the ground. They acted out the nativity. I took a picture of Dylan's costume before but we didn't get any during the actual event. The kids did fantastic. They opened up

My mom, sister, and my niece Savannah went to see the Nutcracker today. It was so beautiful. I haven't seen it in so long and I can really appreciate it now. It was so much fun to spend time with them and have one on one time with Savannah.

Livie's 4th birthday was a week ago, so I am a little slow, but better late than never. She had the cutest little birthday. It was on a Sunday so it was kind of a laid back day, but I think that was good for her. She played with her presents and we sang to her at church. She was the only kid with a birthday that week so she thought she was pretty special. That night my family came over for

Things are a little tight around here this year, so we are cutting back on everything we can. Although I love sending and getting Christmas cards, it seemed like one of those expendable things. So I am posting a pseudo Christmas card on my blog, since almost everyone I would send one too, reads the blog! Merry Christmas everyone.

I only have one more final left in school, and I have noticed that I have a lot more free time on my hands. That being said, I have a lot to blog about. Livie is in a singing/performing group called TaVaci. They had their first concert last night. It was so darling! Livie is in the class with her cousin Denver and both of them did fantastic. They sang and did all of the actions. I wish I

My kids are little artists. They love to draw all of the time. These two are my latest favorites.This first one is Livie's. She drew it after her friend Rebecca came to stay with us. She has had it hanging in her room ever since.This one is Dylan's. He drew this stating that it was his favorite thing to do with his best friend Denver. I found a picture I took of them this summer, and

Well I am averaging about a post a month. That is pretty good right? A week ago my great friend Emily Bowman drove up from Vegas to go see New Moon with me. It was so wonderful and we had so much fun. Our kids loved seeing each other and they had a ball. The picture below is the four of them watching Dr. Seuss How the Grinch Stole Christmas on my bed. Jon said this was right before Livie

Our Halloween was so much fun this year. We started it off by having a Halloween party at Jon's mom and dads. Friday night the grown ups had a How to Host a Murder party. Sadly I don't have any pictures of that. But it was great and I ended up being the murderer. Then on Saturday the kids had their Halloween party. They got to dress up, go on a pumpkin hunt, play Halloween bingo, and eat

I know, I have been horrible at blogging. I got a slight reprimand from my friend Tawni tonight, so I came straight home and started to download pictures. So, to catch up on the last month and a half:We went camping up at my sister in laws cabin. It was so beautiful. We rode four wheelers, went fishing, where, Dylan and Livie both caught their first fish. In fact, all of the kids caught one.

This summer has gone by so fast! I haven't had anytime to post. We have spent the summer playing with cousins, working, doing homework and having so much fun. A few of the highlights:Each summer the cheerleaders put on a little camp for little girls where they teach them a dance and some cheers. Livie had so much fun. She can't wait to go back to her cheer again.Dylan has found a new best

This may be the longest post ever, but I don't want to do a whole bunch of little ones. We moved into our new house. I love it. It is so cozy and homey. The kids love having their stuff back and love that we live within walking distance to a park. The dogs even love it. Having grass is a major plus for them. The best part of this house, are all of the beautiful flowers.We went to Hogle Zoo the

So many things have changed in the past month and a half. To start off, the job Jon originally came up here for didn't work out. But, the good news is he got another job with fantastic benefits and perks at Malt O Meal. The best part is, every time he works, he gets to bring home 3 bags of cereal! We are moving out of my parents house this weekend. We are going to live in Tremonton, since

Livie and I had to say goodbye to a few friends today. It was sad, but it made me realize how much I appreciate the people that have been there for me. I love these girls and their kids.

As most people know, Jon lost his job with Pulte Homes about a month ago. We have been searching for a new job and we found one about a week ago, in Logan Utah. Therefore, this Friday we are leaving our beloved home and friends and starting a new adventure. Everything happened so quickly, (Jon is starting this Monday and coming back to help us move this Friday), that we haven't found a place to

We went up to Utah for our Easter vacation. We first stayed at Jon's mom and dads. The kids had so much fun, and Dylan actually ate in a restaurant. He hasn't been able to do that for awhile. Livie and Emma were so cute and thought they were little princesses. Dylan terrorized them by being a shark and putting them in the smelters. It seems Livie has gotten over her irrational fear of babies, and

We had our first parents day at Livie's dancing class. It was so much fun. Livie is doing so well. She has only been in for about a month, and the girls in her class are a year older than her, but I think she is doing great! She loves going and that is the most important thing. Her teacher Miss Stephanie is so wonderful. She makes them use their manners and teaches them balance and rhythm. My

This past Saturday our family went on an outing to Spring Mountain Ranch. Livie and I had been there a couple of times, but it was Jon and Dylan's first time. It is so beautiful up there. Not everything was in bloom, but the mountains next to the little lake is breathtaking. Livie loved feeding the horse. She got a little upset when the horse sucked on her finger for a minute, but then she

A couple of weekends ago, the Bailey girls left their kids and families, and we went and spent a night in St. George. We had so much fun.

Dylan's birthday was split between two days. On Tuesday, his actual birthday, we had a party at school, and cake and presents at home. Dyl loved all of his presents, especially his Lego's, which he has used to build some pretty cool tire stores. On Saturday, we went to the Lied's Discovery Museum. They both loved it.

I haven't posted for awhile, so I thought I would put down a few funny things the kids have said lately.Dylan:Dyl has this thing where he tries to climb over the back fence to go somewhere. The other day, he told us he was going to Grandma and Grandpas. He came in the house and said:Mom, I need a ladder to climb over the fence so I can ride my bike to grandpa's house.Jon and I started laughing,

After a debate in our house, and many comments from friends, I decided to let my blogging friends settle the debate. Does Jon look like the American Idol Contestant Michael Sarver? Poll is on the side.

My kids have been suffering from Potatotitis lately. It is a rare disease where your child starts to dress themselves up like potato heads. Here are a few of the funny things Dylan has said lately:-(While looking at Zoey) Wow that dog is so very very big.-This is a temple of God. (He put two graham crackers into a point over a soup can.)-Don't be ridickerous.-Mom I'm scared. Can you drive to the

Livie has outgrown her toddler bed. After watching her hit the walls of her little bed for a few nights, Jon and I decided to get her the real thing. She is so excited. She went right to sleep. She even gave it a kiss and told her bed she loved it.

Jon was able to go on a fun trip this past week. Some of his friends from high school all flew in to meet each other in Utah. They went and stayed in a condo in Midway. They had a great time and Jon loved seeing all of his friends.

Last night we went out on the town to celebrate Jon's birthday. We took our good friends Samye and Dustin, and had the best time. We started off at PF Changs. Afterwards, headed over to Hooters, yes you read right, we went to Hooters, to see "The Mentalist". (Side note: Don't judge us by the location, Jon and I received four tickets for free, so we just took advantage of the offer.) This

Happy Birthday Jon. We love you so much. You are the most incredible father and husband. I asked the kids a few things that they love about you, and this is what they came up with:Dylan: I like when he draws booklets.Livie: I like when he plays princesses.Dylan: Daddy tickles us and tells Indiana Lan spooky scary Halloween stories.Livie: I like when daddy hugs me. I love when he comes home.

Well, Dylan is back in school and I have decided to go back as well! I am doing online courses. Wish me luck. Dylan is so happy to be back in school. He has been trying to devise ways to get over the fence so he can run back to school at night. He is also eating more things. He just started eating bread and Mandarin oranges! Livie is doing great. She is really into dressing up and singing songs.

Well we are finally home from our Christmas in Utah. We had so much fun, but it was sooo cold, with a lot of snow. Perfect for Christmas, but I am glad to be back to a warmer climate. I am going to remember the best parts of each of the highlights of our trip. Temple Square:Dylan wanting to marry Livie in the temple, and asking random people to let him in. Dylan thinking a real guy was a

We got so much snow yesterday. They actually cancelled school today. Dylan was home yesterday due to parent teacher conference, and so he and Livie were able to play together. They had so much fun! They couldn't stay out too long, because we didn't have any snow pants or boots, because why would we need them? The snow falling was beautiful, but I remembered what I don't like about snow.

It is an amazing day today. It is SNOWING! It is so beautiful. As I was talking to my best friend Melanie today, she said really, it snows on the sun? Not often, but it does. Livie is fascinated. She keeps asking to go play or go for a little walk. I love the Christmas feeling it brings.

To celebrate Livie's birthday yesterday, we woke up and opened presents first thing. I always hated to wait when I was young. She loved it and was able to play with her toys all day. She had her favorite breakfast of sausage and eggs. (And if you are wondering why she is wearing such crappy pajama's, it is because my washer broke on Thursday before I had a chance to do the kids laundry, and the

Last night for FHE went to the Magical Forest at Opportunity Village. Pulte had given us free tickets so we were all for it. Opportunity Village is an incredible place where all the proceeds go to helping people with special needs. Unfortunately for us, the night was horrible! I have a cold so I wasn't feeling the best, and the words to describe our kids were overstimulated, and crazy! We think

This year we set up a little Christmas tree for the kids and let them have a free for all with the ornaments. They took their task very seriously and had so much fun. When all of the ornaments were on the trees, Dylan thought we needed some more. But I think if it had any more on it it would topple over.

For family home evening, Jon and I watched the 5 minute Nativity movie with the kids, and then we reenacted it with their Little People Nativity set. They both seemed to love the story, and understand the message we were trying to get across. After we were done with the story, Dylan asked if he could tell the story to us. He started repeating the story in very impressive detail. Jon and I were

We had a really fun Thanksgiving vacation. We started it out in Provo, with Jon's family. Dyl and Livie were so excited to see Emma and Gavin. Dyl was feeling a little antsy on Sunday, so we took him up to Bridal Veil Falls to hike around. It was soooo cold! But the kids loved it. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with Jon's family that night. Livie loves all of her girlie cousins. We took

Needless to say, I am so behind on this. But being on vacation does that to you. Anyway, back to real life now. I guess I will start off by telling about the midnight showing of Twilight. A bunch of my friends and I went to see it together and we had so much fun. We ate delicious treats, made some new friends, and enjoyed comparing thoughts on the movie. I love hearing every ones different

It seems like everyone is having an anniversary lately, and we are one of them. We have been married eight years today. It seems like it has gone by so fast. I am so lucky that I married my best friend. I made a collage of pictures of us from our wedding day, and the first couple years of our marriage. Once Dylan came along, the camera was taken over by his cuteness, followed shortly after by

We had the primary program at church today, and all of the kids did a fantastic job. A big THANKS to all of the leaders for all of their hard work. Dyl said his part, and he did good as well. That's about where it stopped. The rest of church was a nightmare! He just had a really hard time. To try and think positive, I decided to post some funny things my kids said this weekend, to try and forget

We went up to the Bonnie Springs petting zoo today. Livie loves the animals. And if I am honest, I think I like them as much as she does. They had the cutest deer. It is such a fun place to go.

We went and saw Madagascar this past Saturday. It was such a great movie. I think Jon and I enjoyed it more than the kids. (I love Livie's running in the wind model pose at the bottom.)

(Before the accident, they weren't really sleeping, just pretending)Yesterday was one of those crazy mornings. Jon and Dylan were playing before church, spinning around in our computer chair, when Dylan slipped and hit his head on the corner of our cedar chest. Of course being a head wound, it started pouring blood. (Maybe pouring is to much, but it sure seemed like that!) We changed his shirt

We had such a great Halloween. We started trick or treating, and I think we were the first ones in our neighborhood. While we were going around, we ran into some of our friends. Rachel and her three kids came along with us for awhile. Livie had a little crush on one of the other pirates, Rachel's son Warner. He graciously held her hand while crossing the streets. On the next street over, our

Our ward had trunk or treat last night, and it was so much fun. My kids won't eat chili, so we kind of just hung around and chatted until it was time to get treats. I stayed by our van and Jon took the kids. A few minutes later Livie came back, and wanted to help me pass out the candy. Every time she put a treat in someones bag or bucket she told them "trick or treating." They are both very happy

My mom, dad and brother were able to come see us last week. My dad and brother had to drive down to Arizona to help my grandma move, but my mom was able to stay with me from Tuesday until Saturday morning. It was so much fun. It was almost like I got a vacation, since my kids would not let me do anything with them. Livie wouldn't let me take her to the potty, dress her, do her hair, etc. etc.

One of Livie's favorite songs is Truly Scrumptious, from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. She sings it so darling, that I had to share it. I have to throw a couple of Dylan's comments in as well. While we were watching conference this weekend, he looked at our prophet and said: "I like Thomas S. Monson. He gets me."This morning I woke up with a cold, so I haven't been as on the ball as I normally

Post the picture and write a little bit about what was going on!I love this picture of Jon and Livie. She has always been such a daddy's girl. As soon as he gets home from work, she doesn't even notice me.

This last Tuesday, some of the girls in our ward went to BJ's, to celebrate some birthdays. The Birthday girls that were able to make it were Janet, Kelly, and Emilee. I hope everyone had a great time, and a happy birthday. We missed everyone who was unable to make it.

I read the most incredible book the other day called The Brothers by Chris Stewart. It takes place in the pre-mortal existence. I read so many inspiring quotes, but there was one that completely stood out to me, and I have been focusing on that ever since. In this place in the book, our Heavenly Father is talking to three of his children and giving them advice: "I am sending you to earth at

Dylan's class, and a few other autistic classes went to Pump it Up together on Friday. It was so cute. All of these kids running around, and none of them were playing with each other. One of the Pump It Up employees brought out a red car, and the kids went crazy. Dylan commandeered the car, and whenever I made him share with the others, he followed them around on the hippity-hop ball, examining

My friend (and sort of my relative, since my brother is married to her sister), Tawni came to see us when she was visiting her in laws in Vegas last week. It was so good to see her. She has two darling kids, Courtney and Grant. Courtney and Livie hit it off right away. They were instant best friends. They made easy bake cakes in Courtney's oven, and then we went to story time together. We both

I love my kids views and opinions on Jesus. Last night we were reading in 3rd Nephi, when Jesus comes to the America's, and it started a little discussion.Dylan: "Jesus comes into my blue room. He stands right there and fixes my scary light."Jon and I looked at each other and said, wow Dyl, that's great.Dylan then goes into further explanation: "Jesus lives in a big big big giant house in the sky

The best part of family home evening, are the treats afterward. Last night, we went to McDonald's to get ice cream. It is going to be our new strategy to keep the kids reverent during the lesson. Remind them to be quiet for their treat.

This past weekend, our family went up to see our extended families in Utah. Jon's little brother was blessing his first baby, Noah. It was a great trip and the kids had so much fun. We headed to Tremonton first. Unfortunately, we were only able to stay at each house for two days, but we made the most out of our time. Dyl and Livie had so much fun with their cousins. On Friday night, my family had

Jon had to work late last night, therefore, our entire night time schedule was thrown off. The kids were going to bed a little later, so we decided to skip scriptures and go straight to the rock and cuddle. Jon was just sitting down in the chair when Livie came walking in holding her book of Mormon and said:"I need some Jesus."As shameful as it was to be rebuked by a two year old, I was so

Another start of another school year. You would think that after having Dylan in school for a year and a half, I would be used to this. But every time he has a big break, it breaks my heart to send him back to school. He went to a new school with a new teacher. She is so nice, and Dylan had a great first day. Hopefully the honeymoon period lasts for awhile. He gets to ride the bus again, which he

Dylan has been on track break for the last week. It is sometimes hard for him to be off his schedule, but it also lets me spend more time with him, and enjoy his humor. Here are a few things he has said this week:That giraffe has a loooooooong neck.Don't talk to me like I'm an idiot.I want to watch Herbie for LoveyDaddy's on my team and Livie and mommy are a team.Santa Clause comes and takes away

I think Jon is good at a lot of things. Not only does he cut his own hair, but he cuts Dylans, and the dogs. He usually does such a good job. In fact, he cut the dogs hair tonight. Imagine my surprise when I walk in the bathroom to see him shaving a T in Trixie's back, (with my razor.) At my speechlessness, he told me that this would help him tell the dogs apart. I always thought it was easy to

This is our newest technique for calming Dylan's sensory problems. It is called a Body Sock. It is made of a Lycra material and clings to his body. He can see through it, and he loves it. He asks to wear it. I think the best thing about it is the entertainment value it provides for Jon and I. He looks so funny in it. Livie thinks he is an easy target, so she will sneak up on him and try to tickle

Number of days Dylan has been kicked out of school because of aggression in the last MONTH: 5Amount of money and time we have and are currently spending trying to get him to stop these behaviors: $$$ (You don't want to know.)When Dylan hugs me and tells me he loves me: Priceless, and worth every second and cent.

I bet most people haven't ever head of snut. Well, I hadn't either until a few days ago. It all started with a conversation in the car. Dylan, Livie and I were playing "Lets talk about..". We had just finished naming things that started with T, when the conversation turned to snut.Dylan: Okay mommy, lets talk about things that are snut.Me: Ummmm, what was that Dyl?Dylan: Lets talk about things

This was seriously the best weekend ever. On Friday, my friend Emily and I went to the Breaking Dawn release party. Although I kind of felt like a geek, it was awesome. I started reading the book that night and finished it on Saturday. It is the best book ever. Not only was it the best in the series, but it is in the top three of my all time favorites. I loved the way the series ended. She could

Dylan has been learning about dinosaurs in school this past week, so last Saturday we took them to the Natural History Museum. It really is a fascinating place. Dyl was a little scared of the dinosaurs, but they are gigantic and have really loud roars.Onto other news, we got Dylan's test results last Friday from Dr. Frickie and the Lili Clair Foundation. They said that Dylan was a special little

Jon made the kids the best maze. When Dylan asked me to make a maze for him, I had no idea where to even start. Therefore, we waited until Jon could be present. I don't know how he does it, but whatever Dylan imagines, Jon can make it happen. They were so cute, and had so much fun.

My mom was such a lifesaver this week. She stayed with me for a week while I had my surgery. I don't know what I would have done without her. She did everything for me. It is really hard for me to just lay there, and I was supposed to be on bed rest for three whole days. My mom was so sweet. The kids had the best time. Livie is so in love with her. She always had to be touching her. Both the kids

I have been asked this question a lot lately. I found out I have menorrhagia with dysfunctional uterine bleeding. I am not able to have any more kids. It was so devastating to find out. But, at the same time, it was nice to know what was going on with my body. I have to have surgery this Wednesday where they are going to do a endometrial ablation treatment, and a tubal ligation.

Jon's family was in town this week and we had so much fun. We went swimming at their time share, and they had the best pool. On Friday night we all went out to the Red Rock for dinner, and then came back to our house for games. It was so fun! We played this game called Curses, and it was so fun to see everyone come out of their shells. Jon's dad, Wayne, was so funny. It was great to see a

We had the best Fourth of July. We decided to go stay in St. George at my grandma's house. We started out by going to the water area. The kids love it. Dylan was obsessed with this little leaf. He called it his Little Blue Man, and watched it float all around the stream.Later that night we went to the park and watched the fireworks. The kids loved them, but Livie didn't like the loud ones.

We did something today that we have never done before. We took both kids to a movie. This is only Dylan's second time going to one, and the first time was a nightmare. We started preparing him the night before, and told him what to expect, so he was prepared. He did so incredible! We saw Wall*E, and it was such a cute movie. During the last 10-15 minutes, Dylan told us he was ready to go home,
