All the small things

somethings gotta give.

I maintain 6 blogs something has got to give. It might be this one. Sorry.

WE went to Lego Land. I am glad we did, kinda. We cannot buy all the groceries I was counting on so that is what caused the kinda.

Family Memories

2009-02-11T13:03:00.000-08:00

I have been scanning Photos again. I have decided not to touch the Photo's that Katie has scrap-booked for me. I think I will have enough Photo's that I will not have too. I need pictures of Tyler, His Parents, My Parents, our grandparents. I am going to finish this. I want my kids to have the things that matter. Memories. Foundations. I want a picture of my grandparents. In this day and age that is not expecting too much. Anything I set my mind to I can accomplish. So this is my goal for 2009. To collect and archive pictures and information. So that next year I can work on genealogy.

ABove is Carter and His Great Grandfather. Glen K Scoville.

Tyler and I on our Honeymoon.

The Only Copy of my baby photo.

Tyler's Grandparents at their 50th Wedding anniversary.

Brothers that do funny things before the digital age.

Keep, preserve, cherish. I am holding on because it is worth it.

Jan 30 - Feb 5

the wedding gift.
Will this week ever end? Seriously.

I wake up and feel like I can get all this stuff done. Then by about 11:30 i am dragging, and ready for a nap.

No I am not expecting. ANd NO i do not want to be. Babies are great. I love them. I am blessed to have the ones I do have. But Pregnancy for me is no cake walk. It is hard and boring. I spend the first half in bed and the second half wishing it was over. I LOVE the end result, but getting pregnant for me is not so easy. More like staying preggers is the hard part. I have miscarried 8 times. Once with twins and then Logan was either going to be a twin or for a while he had 2 heads. After Logan I have only been pregnant 1 time. After it happened I was devastated. And I knew that I could not go through it again.

My body is frail. Weak. My doctor was feeling me up today and said "wow, I have never been able to feel that on a person before." The look on her face was priceless. I did however get bothered when she kept feeling around just to see what else she could feel.

So tomorrow more tests. The kind where you fast. I don't fast well. they made me drink stuff that will help them look at one thing but put the other thing in grave pain. Fasting makes me get the shakes. I get really crabby. not just the regular kind. And did I mention that it hurts the grave pain sight too......

So now that I have moaned, groaned, whined and whined.....

I will write about what we did.

Thursday we went to dinner at "Home Town Buffet" to celebrate my Grandfather Scoville. He was a man among men and I wish all had known him. Started a wedding gift.

Friday I hung 3600 lights. Yep. At the church building. Up and down a ladder. My bum really hurt and I realized that I am really out of shape. but that was a really tall ladder not the inside house kind, so I talked myself out of feeling bad. oh, Tyler showed up but wouldn't help because I had signed up for it. And later he asked why I signed up for something and expect him to help. He will be doing his own crap around the house for a while. Out of socks.... oh well. need clean pants.... too bad. (I told you I am grumpy when I am fasting.)

and finished a wedding gift.

Saturday we hung a shelf in the shed, I mowed the yards, raked the leaves, picked up dog waste, cleaned up trashed, made 3 full meals, kept the house clean and shopped. Oh AND took down all 3600 lights.

Sunday I was in stomach pain hades. Went to a super bowl party, made a ton of food, and taught someone how to play scrabble.

Monday I cleaned from "the day of rest".

Since then I have been in pain and 2 the doctors. I also pulled my shoulder out and so it is really sore. It went back and forth a few times. But I think it is staying now. It is just sore and as long as I do not bend over, stabbing pain, I will be okay.

Wow this is a complete whiners blog post.

I have received tons of kisses, lots of love and hugs and a grateful thanks from Coleman for covering for him by picking up the poop and mowing the lawn. I love my kids and I would rather I was in the hospital than them. So I will take what I am given and no more complaining. I am blessed. I have a home and healthy family. My husband has a job. We have nice things and THE best family and friends people could hope for.

So now that I am back to positive aimee........ the crummy ones are usually only as fast as I can type and delete.

the Lord would never give me more than I can handle. All he wants is to hear from me.

Goals

2009-01-29T10:51:00.000-08:00

My goal is to update this blog once a week. Mostly because I am tired of checking peoples blogs that are not updated. I realize that I don't update this one, but it is because my .mac. ones are so so so much easier.

So the new goal. here it goes. I will make a calendar note that will remind me of it. DONE.

SO what are we doing this week?

I had my car looked at. yeah, that cost $300 that I didn't have. ANd I forgot to mention nothing on it got fixed. Yeah suck-fest.

We are working on a fundraiser for scouts that I volunteered to take phone calls for but I have only got one. Sad for all.

The boys are giving me a hard time lately about school work and chores. Mostly Coleman. He is a classic "i am almost 13 age" The others just follow his example. Carter does try but he is too easily distracted.

Jake had his pinewood derby and we were not last. Poor Kid. WE did really well Cole's first year and not so great the last few. It might have something to do with the fact that we actually make the boys do most of the work. Yep. we have them polish all their wheels and axels and stuff. How else will they learn?

(I hate this!!!! I can't get it to do what I want!!!!!!!)

Carter is doing this program where they read to dogs. HE loves it and it is amazing how much he has improved. He has an imaginary friend named AJ and we are not supposed to know about him. It is really cute and sad. And I want to remember it so I am typing it down.

Tyler is busy busy busy. I hate it and I am grateful at the same time. Who knew that both emotions could fit inside?

I am gearing up for my 1st EA for the year. I am looking forward to it and actually am enjoying my calling. Which means I am sure they will take it away soon. Not to be mean. But so that someone else can enjoy it and I can learn from something else.

So, till next Thursday.... Enjoy your weekend.

It is quite pathetic how many blogs I have. I now have 5 non-blogspot and this one of course. I don't share all. One is for me alone. One Tyler and I do. Well, he is supposed to do but his spare time is very small and I would rather him be with me than on the computer. I have my Harry Potter Wizard Crew site. I don't update that one but once every 6 months or so. The family site and the random aimee info. Aka TMI about aimee.

so why do I have all these and how am I keeping them maintained?

Well, I have them because it is fun. Fun to state your thoughts, share the funnies and complain about the yuckies. Sometimes share is the best way to sort through it.

"Women talk to think, Men just think"

I am not maintaining them often now. It is harder and harder to keep up with it all. Diapers and cleaning teaching and breaking up battles rule my life right now. Until I can find a balance, it just is what it is.

so a quick update.

tyler and my brothers built me a new huge shed. Now I get to fill it up.

my christmas decorations are up, but need to be plugged into something. It's cold outside. And I am tired.

Logan and Kent are currently throwing markers, thankfully not at each other.

I am grateful to reconnect with old friends and hope they will forgive me for those terrible teenage years.

My boys are all healthy and i could not ask for anything more. It is the best gift ever.

I am hoping Tyler will stick to the no gift giving rule we establish every year and every year he breaks it making me look like a schmuck.

I miss family that is not living here in town. Utah Texas and Susanville, CA. It stinks and if they would just send their kids it would be fine with me. JK i occasionally like the parents too.

Swim team is finished and so that frees up part of my day. Spring time will bring 6am practices for Cole. Sounds like a dad job right?

I am busy and have a list of things to do so I best get to them. I have to layer up first though. Baby it's cold outside.

Diaper Cakes

2008-10-20T08:02:00.000-07:00

I was trying to think of what to post. My life is kinda dull right now. Here are cute diaper cakes that I make for baby showers. If I ever get a hold of the wedding one that I did I will post it.

FUnny Funny.

2008-10-15T07:42:00.001-07:00

I keep trying to upload an image but this pace is so frustrating! Every time I click the add image button it "saves now." I am going to delete this soon. It is too annoying for words. It finally worked.

OUr computer has a photo booth button and we had a great time on sunday taking funny pictures of ourselves. Logo just wanted to get down. Or color on the computer screen again.

Cole and Jake

2008-10-11T09:14:00.000-07:00

This is my favorite picture of Cole and Jake when they were little. COle was not a big fan of Jake when he came home. He IGNORED him. Completely. As jake got a little older and could be set down to play on the ground Cole would Snuggle and kiss him. And YOu could hear them laughing from the other room. I popped in and took a picture.

Happy Halloween Month

2008-10-10T07:39:00.000-07:00

Happy October! Apparently it is hard for a lot of you to up load our website page. So, I am sad. I started this one but I will not add to it as frequently. You can choose which one you prefer.

An email WOULD BE REALLY NICE so that I can find out how many people are having issues with our other blog loading. iWeb is a zillion times easier to use. And to all you PC users, I am so sorry. I would never not own a mac. It is like Lasik. WORTH EVERY PENNY.
