Wii Vs. Trampoline

Drum roll please!!!

And the winner is......



TRAMPOLINE!!!


So Jer and I made a tough decision a few weeks ago to sell the Wii we had got for Christmas. Regan and Daxton played a lot on it at first (with our help) then it sat in the basement for weeks/months at a time with no use...I am not a gamer either. So we sold the Wii on KSL and that very day went and got the kiddos a trampoline. It has been a HUGE hit. Already gotten our money's worth and the kids are outside and out of my hair...(can I say that?).






Regan is learning to flip....

So this might be a lame post....but a couple in our ward asked us to play the NCAA Bracket game with them. That is basically where you "guess" (or as the guys would say) "use your sports know how" to pick which teams will win and ultimately, which team will win the championship. Well, me with ALL my sports know how....picked my teams. At the end, I showed Jeremy and he very nicely said "probably not bad for a girl".....well if you would all take a look at the current rankings....I would also have to say....."NOT BAD FOR A GIRL!!!". I am just going to take the moment to gloat a little.....

Some fun news.....

Well I think Jer and I are ready to make our announcement official. We are expecting #3!! We are actually in our 15th week, but for those of you who don't know, I had a miscarriage last year that was pretty rough. We went in for our 15 week appointment only to find out baby had no heartbeat. It was a sad time....so hence me being very scared to make the announcement. But we went in today and baby looks GREAT!! We are so excited!

New Post

So I posted about Dax's birthday....below and it didn't update the blog to show I posted something new so I am trying it again to see if it will work......

Look Who Turned 3!!



It was Daxton's birthday on Friday. I can't believe he is 3 already! He
had a lot of fun. He wanted a batman cake and this is what I came up
with....not bad for an amateur!!



We took Regan and Daxton to Chuck-E-Cheese's Thursday for his birthday and they had a blast!! Of course bieng able to spend their hard earned tickets to buy prizes was the best part of all!!





Then we headed off to Ferron to see grandma and granpa Gee. We headed into the mountains on Saturday for a hot dog/smores cook out. Daxton had a great birthday!!





Dax got a bow and arrows from gradma and grandpa Gee and we gave him a big wheel.

Hmmmm Sleigh Riding?

So the other day my kids wanted to go sleigh riding and I told them there was not enough snow (it was all slushy). I went about my business upstairs and I hear the kids screaming and laughing....you now that sound when you think "hmmm, it sounds like they are doing something they probably shouldn't be" so I went to check on them and this is what I found......
I guess they figured since I said no sleigh riding outside, they would go sleigh riding inside. These are boards that we bought when we started to finish our basement for the trim around the doors. I think they are about 2 inches wide if that. They somehow managed to get their bottoms and feet on them and then they would slide (really fast) down the stairs.....fun huh? Wow, talk about imagination.

SPRING????!!!!!





I am finally trying to post something new. So this happened two
weekends ago, I am just slow. We planted PEAS and BEETS!!! Yeah! Jeremy
was tilling the garden (small, but we still call it our garden) while the kiddos were enjoying the weather! It
smelled like spring!! It was so fun to start doing some yard work. I
love to wake up now and hear birds chirping outside.

25 Random Things about me.....

I was tagged by my cousin Allison (love her!) to type 25 random things about me. ummmm this might be hard but I will give it a shot.

1) I was always the "tattle tell" with my sisters. I did not like getting in trouble so when my sisters wanted to tell each other their "secrets" they would lock me out of the room....good thing too, because odds are I would have told :)

2) I hold grudges. Don't like to admit it, but there are some people in my past who really hurt me and I still don't like them.

3) I hate my teeth. I have even had braces, but to smile and show my teeth is murder!

4) I come from a family of 13 children...yes 13. I am the third oldest. There are 9 girls are 4 boys....love it!!

5) When I met Jeremy I thought he was way out of my league.....I didn't think I had a chance. Then later on, I was talking to a girl who lived across the hall from Jeremy at Snow College and she said "we all thought the Gee twins were hot, but after we saw you we knew we didn't have a chance" Funny that sometimes what we think about ourselves, others see differently. It has always been a self esteem booster to me when I am down.

6) I always wanted like 10 kids...until I had 2.

7) My favorite color is purple. It has been since I can remember. Funny thing is I don't decorate or wear purple....I just love the color.

8) Joanna (my younger sister) and I used to stick books in our underwear when we knew we were in trouble. My dad actually went to spank us once and he hit the books....I think it made it worse ;)

9) I am not a very patient mom. I always pictured myself as this fun loving, easy going mom. I AM a high strung, stress freak mom....Whoops!

10) Jeremy and I dated for 2 1/2 months before we got engaged. We were married 6 months from the time we met. That was it. I was completely HOOKED!!

11) I met Jeremy at Snow College.

12) I was not really a nerd in high school, but not one of the "cool crowd" I guess you could say. Then I meet Jeremy and he was "most prefered" in his school, got asked to EVERY dance and had girls galore.....can we say complex!! I always tell him he would not have looked twice at me if we had gone to the same high school. Thankfully we didn't.

13) I wish I could spend more money on me. I have an issue when it comes to either buying a shirt for me or for one of my children....somehow the kids always win.

14) I hate birds.....I AM SERIOUS. I realized it was a serious issue, when we were living in Logan a baby crow had fallen down in our patio and the mother crow was going crazy cawing all the time. I went to leave for work in the morning and I couldn't get myself up the stairs. I would take two steps, hear the caw and back down. I finally had to knock on my neighbors door (getting him out of bed) and asked if he would walk me to my car.....wow....pathetic!!! (my neighbors at the time were Brandon and Darci Burke for those of you who know them).

15) I love to eat sour baby green apples off the tree with salt. It makes Jeremy sick, but I love it.

16) I crave pickles and cucumbers in vinegar all the time. It is a staple for me.

17) HATE public restrooms.....used to be able to avoid them, but now that I have children...impossible. YUCK!!

18) I am not a sports fan. I try to be for my husband, but unless it is a really good game I can just walk away. Jeremy played baseball in high school, and I hate to say it, but it is my WORST sport to watch!! (unless he is playing)

19) I hate shoes. I love flip flops and bare feet. I don't even wear closed toed shoes in the winter. I get looks all the time and people saying "aren't your feet cold" I want to say...ummm yah, but I love my flip flops.

20) I love gummy candy. I could take it over chocolate (almost any day). I love the Haribo brand gummy bears....yummy!!

21) I don't like getting presents. This is rough for Jeremy. I feel uncomfortable when someone gives me something and I don't know how to react. I prefer birthdays and such to just come and go...with just a "happy birthday". I will go get something I want later.

22) I really do have naturally blonde hair and BLACK eyebrows!! Yes, they are real! I get it all the time..."do you dye your eyebrows?"...."yes, I take a tiny brush and dye each individual eyebrow hair".....come on...I do have a lot of time on my hands but seriously :)

23) I really don't like to travel. I like to stay at home.

24)I love how girly Regan is, and how ALL boy Daxton is.

25) I wish I was a naturally pretty person. Waking up and having to put make-up on everyday just to look human gets annoying....oh well, we can't have it all!!

I tag anyone who would like to do it. It is fun. Try it.

Sleigh Riding...

So it has been about a week since I posted.....we went sleigh riding actually about a week ago, I am just slow at getting pictures up. Jeremy is amazingly patient with our kiddos. He would ride down with them then hike up the hill pulling them in the sleigh. They had a lot of fun. Dax and Regan wanted to go down by themselves once and they crashed, once we started laughing they did too. They got snow in their faces a lot so Dax's little checks (I guess not little :) are really red. This was in my home town of Mantua. It is a really pretty town with lots of snow even though there is not much anywhere else.Enjoy!

One tough kid...





So I had to blog about tonight. It is Tuesday and Jeremy is the young men's president and he was in charge of the combined YM YW activity. They decided to go up to Mantua and sleigh ride. Jeremy asked if I would make some bread sticks so he could take them up with them to eat with the hot chocolate. I made two pans and set them out to cool. I went back to my bedroom and could hear a chair being slid across my floor and I called out to Dax asking what he was doing. He replied that he was trying to get a bread stick and I told him "don't touch the pans, they are really hot. I will help you in just a second". Well, I didn't hear any more about it so I assumed he went back to watching sponge bob with Regan. I headed up to my moms in Mantua to kill the time while Jeremy was sleigh riding and my youngest sister Ashlee says "Hey Michelle, what happened to Dax's arm" of course I had no idea what she was talking about. Then I saw the lovely burn and water blister. The poor kid burned his arm that bad and never made a peep. I had no idea it had even happened. Aren't I a great mother :)OUCH
