My Mom Said it Happens in Three's! Well we are past 3 and I'm ready for it to stop!

So after a crazy week the weekend wasn't much better! Someone(I won't mention any names because he'd kill me) backed into the neighbors car on Sat. and if that wasn't enough Troy broke his tooth Sunday night! (Oh and Monday was when our trailer burned down so three biggies right in a row)

I know these aren't very good pictures but they are off of my cell phone since I can't find my cord for my camera! Poor guy was so tuff! It was kind of funny when he told me because he came walking up and had his mouth covered and said "Mom I think I need to go to the dentist" I wasn't sure what he was talking about until he moved his hand!!!! Yikes yep he did need to see the dentist, but I still want to know how you fall and break your tooth off and not even get one scratch on your face???? He was lucky to get right into the doctors monday and get it fixed!

Our poor trailer!!!!

About a week ago our trailer decided to burn down! Here
are some of the awful pictures.



In this next picture you can see the eve of David's Grandma's house! I flipped out when they called me because I knew how close it was to her. I'm so thankful she was all right (although she did say she didn't need to do her daily exercise since her heart was already racing for the day!) I feel so bad for the scare it gave her, thank goodness if didn't do anything to her house.




This was where it started. They said it was an electrical fire and if anyone had been in it they wouldn't have been able to get out. They said it was a very hot and fast fire. SCARY-my hubby had been living there for months before our house sold!!!! It's amazing when something like this happens you can be so thankful the What If''s didn't happen!
This one is the weirdest! That's the fridge but the food inside the fridge was just fine!
I'm so thankful for David's grandma listening to a prompting to go outside and also for the boys driving down the street who stopped and sprayed her house until the fire department got there! The Lord was really watching over all of us!

Kaylee's Check up


Kaylee's 6 month check up was today and it went great! She doesn't have to go back for a whole year next time!!! Unfortunately we did talk to him about the higher altitude bothering her and he said that it could really bother her so we will have to keep an eye on her when we go camping. I'm so excited for her though, she has been doing sooo well its been great!

Time Out For Women and Girls!

I was so excited when I got a call from the Young Women's group in my old ward and they said they were coming to Phoenix to go to "Time out for women and girls" and asked me if I would go with them! Of course I said YES!
Everything was put together so well and even the tickets were cute! I got to take Kaylee with me she was also excited to see all the girls from our old ward.
Some of the messages and sayings:
I CAN DO HARD THINGS (Jenny Jordan Frogley)
DON'T LET 3RD PARTY INTERFERENCE RUIN YOUR COMMUNICATION WITH HEAVENLY FATHER (Laurel Christensen) she told of when she crashed 3 cell phones only to find out it was from 3rd party interference from her facebook she downloaded to her cell phone. She talked about things we let interfere with our communication with Heavenly Father.
YOU CAN FIND ANSWERS TO ANYTHING YOU NEED HELP WITH IN THE SCRIPTURES (John Hilton III) He told us a funny story about how he met this girl he really liked and she wouldn't give him the time of day so he turned to the scriptures and they ended up getting married. It was so interesting listening to him the way he used the scriptures made me wish I had a fourth his knowledge.






Aren't these the cutest bags! We were so excited when they handed them out as we walked in!




We got our bags signed by Jenny Frogley! She was so cool she was Kaylee's favorite singer! She was so nice when Kaylee got a picture with her she said Kaylee reminded her of her daughter. Jenny had everyone up and dancing and singing Jesus wants me for a sunbeam!



This is Hilary Weeks we loved the stories she shared with us and her facial expressions.


Sherri Call was very pregnant but that didn't stop her! Listening to her songs are like listening to a story.



I took this one for my boys! This is Abe Mills he is the lead singer for Jericho Road. He was so funny we loved his attempt at break dancing!


Trudy suprised us all when Jenny Frogley had everyone in a contest for the best dancing Trudy jumped on her chair and started rocking out!!! The girls think she's the coolest and I have to agree with them! What other Young Women leader would you see doing that??????


This ones for you Sandi, I thought you'd like to see a picture of the Moon's baby! It was so cool when Tammy showed up!



I had one of the best times! It was so hard saying goodbye to them all. What a fun group they are, I miss them so much I hope we can do it again next year!

~Quirks~* List 6 quirks that you have that your friends and family may not know about*

1. Unlike Christy I loveeeeeee my feet rubbed by my hubby. When I'm really stress out that's the best way to relax!

2. I hate apple cider!!!! When I was a teenager, Halmark was giving it out free and the lady gave so much to me and my friends that by the time I was done I wanted to puke. It's always stayed with me but now I like the smell just don't want to drink it!

3. I love to have a clean house and it's not usually dirty, but I have a problem with clutter spots. So I'm always going through important things and I'll put them where I won't forget.....ha ha..... then when I need them I search for hours trying to remember where they are!

4. I know this one is grossssss but I can't stand white pimples!!!!! If one of my kids have one it drives me insane until they go pop it. Infact when my kids were babys they would drive me crazy tell I would pop it! I know pretty wierd but please if you ever see one on me LET ME KNOW !

5. I found out I'm a control freak mother. I have a very hard time the older they get letting them make there own decisions. If only they'd listen to me things would be so much better! HaHa

6. I have a hard time in large groups. It's like I'm lost in the crowd, and all the noise makes it so hard to stay focused! I could probably go a whole night without saying a word....infact if David's with me I hate for him to leave me!

Ok that was torture.....thanks a lot Lindsay! I tagged anyone who reads this especially you Sandi, Kristi, Kimmi, and Angela!

Halloween In A New Neighborhood


Troy....your guess is as good as mine!


The kids got lots of loot! This neighborhood was a fun one to go around. Everyone would sit out in their decorated yard and hand out candy and neighbors actually visited with neighbors! There was one street that they all got together and made a half circle in one of their yards and the kids would go chair to chair! It was great and the weather was beautiful!!!!!!


Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me!


Kaylee the Rock Star!

Jordan's Birthday!











Happy birthday Jordan we love you!

On October 21st Jordan turned 12 years old!!! I can't believe how old he is getting. He wanted to go to Golden Coral for dinner and these are just some of the desert selections he chose. He got a much wanted scooter (which we ended up having to upgrade to a bigger size for him.) Sometimes when I shop for my kids I don't remember how big they actually are! We also were able to visit with Grandma & Grandpa Cottam and Brian, Sandi & Kids the weekend after his birthday. We had an icecream cake from Dairy Queen and celebrated Jordan and My Mom's birthday.....Don't worry Mom I won't tell anyone how old you are!

I think Jeff's a little big how about you!
I was so proud of myself, I actually took the kids to the zoo by Myself! I have always been so afraid of getting lost down here, but it actually isn't to bad......Yet! We had a fun time and I couldn't believe how many animals were actually out. Usually when we go they are all sleeping.
