Blankets

I got me some of this

washed ironed & folded

To make one of these

And a friend to keep baby Kimber company

I think baby Kimber and Canyon will be great friends

(as soon as she decides to grace us with her presence)

Sweet Ride Yo

My bicycle debut

Can I be honest for a moment?  I have not been on a bike in oh I don't know roughly 14 plus years.  Not since the days of riding down to ryans house with way to much makeup on, shorts to short  & a stomach full of butterflies.

I was nervous, what if it's just another one of my many unsuccessful ideas? Ryan can I have $400 to join Golds Gym, Ryan I signed up for water aerobics, Ryan I quit drinking soda ( ha ha that was a good one)

Can I ride a bike? Should I even be allowed to ride a bike? I am almost 30.

Oh so that's where the old saying comes from. "It's like riding a bike"  Really I hopped on and off I went.  I rode & rode until my thighs were shaking, my lungs were burning & water actually sounded neccesary.  I stopped, turned around and rode home.  Upon my arrival my sweet family was standing there cheering, clapping and yelling for me. "way to go mom!"

I felt proud, I felt happy, I felt loved & I felt a little confused as to why my family was so amazed that I rode a bike.  Who am I kidding? I was amazed myself.

Thanks babe for my new bike.

I love You.

Preschool

Ahhh September, oh how I love thee.


    I can only get 2 children ready and out the door by 8:15, sorry lincoln.

ignore her crooked part, porter lost my handy dandy pink comb & that's the best I could do.

I got her to laugh by telling her I pooped my pants. (which I hadn't)

this is her asking if I really did

Yay for back-to-school.  This is Canyons 2nd year of preschool and only one more year to go.

she loves it & has no problems getting up & ready and goes right into class.  Sounds easy right? ya it kinda is.  Last year was a whole other story though.

I wanted to share with you the price breakdown of her outfit.  it's kinda impressive.

Backpack $5.00

(I love these bags from Wally World because they're small)

Shirt $1.27 from Target

Skort $1.27 from Target

Shoes $3.00 from Wal-mart

TOTAL=$10.54

That's what I'm talkin about!

29

Happy Birthday to me!

i'm 29, I still get zits, I sometimes forget to wash the conditioner out of my hair & have to get back in. I hate to read & I love commercials. I'm a t-shirt & jeans kinda gal & I get some kind of sick high when I find a great deal.  I rarely turn down sweets & I have a diet coke every day at noon.  My front teeth are fake & I bite my nails till they bleed. I can sneeze with my eyes open & burp on command. I have cateracts, arthritis & frequent headaches. I love to laugh, the kinda laugh that makes your nostrils flare. I hate to fight & I love to tease. I belong to the church of jesus christ of latter day saints, i'm a mom, a wife, a daughter, a aunt, and a girlfriend.  i'm not perfect, but I am Me.

Happy Birthday Lincoln

My baby is 2!

Happy 2nd Birthday Lincoln!!

I can't believe it's been 2 years already.  I lay awake at night thinking of the things I can buy once I don't have to buy diapers anymore.  Maybe, just maybe I can purchase some of those fresh fruit and veggies I hear people talking about? nooo that's crazy talk.

 Lincoln has been such a good baby.  Easy?..No...Nope..No Way, but Good...Yes.

He's a little bit of everything mixed into one lovable creature.

Here is a list of things about Lincoln, I bet you didn't know.

- We didn't find out if he was going to be a boy or girl. One of thee best surprises we've ever had.

- He's always been in the 90th% for height? I have no explanation.

- We had to put all the new bar stools in the basement because he uses them to climb on the counter to get to the butcher block, microwave, sink, etc.... If you look closely, you will see the bench to our table is tied to the table legs with belts.

-  He will pick his nose till it bleeds

- He loves Cailou. I personally think that show is creepy & whiny & who names their kid Cailou anyways?

- I have to keep the bathroom doors locked because he undresses, climbs in & starts the tub.  Although convenient, not recommended.

- He waves at anyone & everyone, but as soon as you say "Hi" he gets embarrassed and hides.

- He gets a diaper and the wipes for you when he needs to be changed & has absolutely no interest in using the potty.

- He's always on the go. The only time he stops is for his nap & bedtime.

Although tiring, overwhelming, hard & sometimes frustrating.

I love, Love, LOVE being a mom. Not just a mom, but this kids mom.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINCOLN, WE LOVE YOU!!!

First Grade Baby!

First Grade? wait...what?....excuse me....come again?.....

It's true Porter started 1st grade and he loves it.
I'll admit, I was kinda ignoring the fact that someone else would have my child, my oldest, my first born, for 7 hours straight.

who's going to help button his pants? who's going to help tie his shoe? who's going to help him with lunch?

Apparently he does it all by himself. who new?

  The morning started with a meltdown over funny feeling socks, ill fitting shoes, shorts to long & bookbag too big. Let me just state that we had layed out his entire outfit the night before hoping to avoid all meltdowns.

We ended up being late and had to take the traditional first day of school pictures after school.

goodbye summer

 It's happened, summer has ended and school has begun and this my friends is the final half of the Britt Family Summer.
