baby sister?

I was driving Ryanna to ballet today and she said "Mom I've been praying really hard for a baby sister, and I say "I know my mom's worked really hard on loosing this weight but she can do it again, I really want a baby sister PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE?"
I had to remind her that sometimes we don't always get what we pray for.

Happy Birthday Brayden!

Today is Brayden's birthday! He turned 6. Ryan took the day off & we went to NSL to Kangaroo Zoo. It was so fun and not busy at all. Karl even came. Then Brayden chose McDonald's happy meals for lunch. The adults went to Cafe Rio. I wish I could post a picture but I can't on Ryan's laptop. We did pick up my computer today.

Spring break is also this week. So yesterday Mareah & I took the kids to the zoo. It was so busy but we couldn't have asked for better weather (78 degrees) We even got sun burns.

Sunday Thought

Some blessings come soon,
Some come late, and some
don't come until Heaven.
But for those who embrace
the gospel of Jesus Christ,
They Come.

loose tooth

Listen Up! Brayden is so excited, he has his first loose tooth and can't wait for it to come out. I offered to do the hononrs, he turned me down. Darn it - I love doing stuff like that.

Ryan & I have been working around the clock to get these houses ready. Today is the first Realtor open house. They are having it catered, giving away ipod nano's etc. I told Ryan to tell them to leave the left overs. So I've got to vanish from 12-3.
Keep your fingers crossed for us that something will sell.

$100

Ryanna won a $100 bill. The movie theater up here in Kamas does a monthly drawing for $100 and Ryanna just happened to win. Lucky girl! She got her picture taken, it will be displayed along with the rest of the winners up at the good ol' Kamas Theater. She was a little disappointed when her dad told her she had to pay tithing and put half of it in the bank. She wanted me to take her to the outlets, right after she got it. No such luck!

Sad News!

So a couple of days ago Ryan told me he didn't feel good about going on our vacation with our situation right now (3 house pmts) I agreed (he'd be real fun let me tell ya.) So I cancelled everything yesterday with 10 more days until we were supposed to leave. Last night we had a family meeting and broke the sad news to the kids. Ryanna was crying so hard Brayden finally said "Ryanna quit crying I can't hear" we knew that she would take it the worst, because she's old enough to understand. All she could say was "Daddy you promised, this was my dream vacation and grandma & I already went shopping and bought new outfits for this trip." Ryan "promised" her that one day we will go, when things hopefully get better (financially)

Today Karl was at our house and Brayden of course was using his potty mouth, so Stratton copied what Brayden had said. Karl said "you're not being a very good example to your brother look what you're teaching him", and Brayden said "I'm not a xample(sample) that's when you get food at stores. Karl & I were laughing. I do have to admit that Brayden can be a character. If he wasn't so cute I'm afraid I could do some damage.
