The smock

I think this is so funny that they all wear tennis shoes with there nice clothes so I had to take a picture!

Matthew is finally over at the walgreens close to our home and I wanted to post these pics of him with his new smock on...he laughed at me cause I act like it is his first day of school (which btw when it is his first day i will get some pics again!:) I just think he looks so good with his nice clothes on.... I can now picture him behind the drive up window asking for my phone # and last name.HAHA...

Anyway he is really enjoying the craziness of the job and the people that he works with.

Samm came home from school today with a real bad fever and Parker told me his throat hurt real bad AND aubrey got her kindergarten shots today so I am sensing some loooong nights and days ahead. Some good news is that Haven is finally getting her tonsils out!! her doctor finally thinks its time she stops suffering! We go in on the 14th to have them removed along with her adenoids. Im not looking forward to the recovery from what people have told me. I will hopefully remember to get some pics.

Hope everyone is having a good summer!!

Sammantha had her first day of school on monday this week and absolutely LOVES it of course. She walks with this boy across the street that is named sam as well:) they are so cute..we have adapted well with our new ward and situation. There is so much room at my sisters house, I couldnt have asked for a better place to live while matt goes to school.

WOW! I finally can put some pics on here. (thanks for the patience grandma!)

Parker had his birthday July 17th I got mostly video but here are a few pictures. Parker had to go to the doctor to get his blood drawn to determine if he was a carrier for strep(which it came back that he is!!) anyway they tried to get his blood 3 different times plus digging around and failed!! i was not happy and of course he wasnt either so i told the girl no more tries and took the kids swimming to Oqurrah park fitness center and we had a BLAST! We swam for about 1 1/2 hours before we got hungry so we got out of the pool and got a pretzel to eat. Parker was about half way through his when he said he did not feel good, and then he puked! poor kid he got heat stroke kinda bad so he was done for the day. ....He wanted an ALL chocolate cake, but i told him i needed at least some vanilla frosting which he agreed:) we had a pretty fun day! (I ended up taking him to the hospital on monday to get his blood drawn and of course they got it with the first try!)

Matthews bday was the next day, he turned the BIG 30 so he wanted to go swimming, have a lunch at his sisters and then go camping with his family...it was so much fun! We drove around for a while looking for a spot but finally got one at about 7 i think it was...we ate lots of smores and learned how to speak some weird Japanese language that my bro in law made up with his brothers, it was fun!

Look before you leave

My dad has had my computer since I have moved so I STILL can not post pictures! argh!

I wish I could post a pic about this but the story will have to do.........I went to the gym yesterday and before leaving I was super stressed because I was trying to get the kids ready and decide what to do to help my mom with helping my sister in law move out of the house. SOOO of course i just let the kids get themselves ready and head out the door not even thinking about if their shoes even match. .............we get out of the van at the gym and I just stared at Aubreys shorts for THE longest time trying to decide why they are SO tight... until it HIT me.....she was wearing Parkers underwear!! HAHAHA oh man I just asked her why she put on Parkers underwear and she said they were in her drawer and she didnt know they were not her shorts....then the tears came :( I felt so bad and had to tell her it was okay at least the front did not have a friendly boy opening!! SO she went to the daycare and I went to my cycle class....GOOD TIMES:)

Cycle class again!

So i went to the doctor on friday for another ultrasound and the placenta has almost moved all the way from my cervix YEAH!! so they gave me the go ahead to start exercising again and enjoying my hubbs:) It was really fun to see the baby again on the screen it was really chubby and we of course DID NOT find out what it was again! we have a final ultrasound in 8 weeks to make sure I can have a normal delivery and then i am done with being tempted to find out what i am having! Man it has been really hard!

Matthew started his new job at Walgreens on monday and is loving every moment (well except the fact he sits in front of the computer for 6 hours studying!). He is learning so much already and we study at least 30 minutes everynight for all the different codes he has to know. It is so crazy how many different drugs there are and how many different names everything gets called! He is in training at a slow store right now but says they just fill prescriptions all day long its so crazy! I guess there are alot of people needing meds huh. He should be certified here in the next 6 months just in time to start school in january...i am still so excited but shocked at this new chapter in our lives hopefully it will be a good one!

The brady bunch

So we are finally settled in to my sweet sisters house! I have not taken any pictures of anything yet because that would just be to overwhelming right now with all the stuff that needs to get done still! lol !

I still can not believe that ALL of our stuff fits in her house! its really nice to have a huge storage room downstairs for all of our crap that we are not going to see for the next 7 years! The kids are in one HUGE room downstairs there are 2 closets in there thank goodness:) i cant believe how much stuff kids have these days!

Matt had gotten in a really bad car accident about 10 years ago and has a bad back so when we sold our bed and went to go get my "queen" he chose one that is EXTRA firm....let me just tell ya camping on the ground is more comfy than this thing...he of course LOVES it but me being HUGE with baby can not stand it so i went out and bought a memory foam pad which of course i returned today because the hubbs wants just the plain old hardness...so therefor Amazon here i come for a pad just my size LOL! all of our stuff fits perfectly in this big room that annie has downstairs so we are feeling right at home.

Brandon put in a washer and dryer hook up so we could have our own laundry room as well!

So my dear sister annie HATES to cook, well hates planning meals. and i of course LOVE to cook and for a whole lotta people but i hate the clean up so we decided to try ....ME doing all the cooking and buying the food and ANNIE does all the cleanup!! heck yeah is that not the best thing EVER!! I have loved it so far and its super nice to not have to clean dishes!!

I think i almost have the grocery shopping down for our family of 11. Its pretty funny to go to sams club and buy these huge containers of food! oh and i dont have ANY kids with me BONUS.

we still have a little bit of organizing to do and then i will take some pics...parkers and matts birthdays are this weekend so we will be going camping and swimming so i hope to take some pics of that too! man i am such a slacker these days:)

No more beds

When we move into annies this weekend there will be much less space so I have been trying to talk Matt into NOT having a king bed anymore. I have always wanted a queen for the mere fact that you have to sleep closer together, and our ten million kids cant come climbing in!

We bought a super nice mattress a couple years ago from RCwilley and it went to a crapper in like 6 months so he did not think I could even get 50 bucks for it.

Well he told me yesterday that if I could sell it than we could go get another....well 3 hours and 125$ later this is what my house looked like:(

I sold sammys full mattress as well since we will be using one that annie has and I took all my kids beds apart therefore since I did NOT think i would sell it ( at least that quick) we had to sleep in aubs and havens bed while the girls slept in their sleeping bags and Parker just slept on his mattress!

It was an adventure of a night! wahoo to a new queen mattress!!!

So pretty much every day this week my kids have been jumping on the tramp with this rocket sprayer thingy underneath for hours! I thought i would post a few pics of them getting soaked in pretty much whatever they have on for the moment, and this is the little girl that almost lives my house:)
