Moving, sick and family

Well everything has been going well, just really fast. It seems to be moving really fast and i keep loosing track of time, all of a sudden its Wednesday. The movers come on Sunday to pack up the stuff and then return on Monday to pack up the truck with everything. We will stay Monday and clean ans fix the house and then we will leave on Tuesday morning for Utah. We rented a van because i don't want to drive to Kentucky. And the company is paying for our cars to be shipped so I'm taking full advantage of that. We will be going to the Thurston's for Thanksgiving and staying there until Sunday. Richard will then leave Sunday for Kentucky. I will then go to My parents house for the remainder of the time. Sorry if that was really boring but the plans have changed so much that i just want to make sure that everyone know what going on.

Bad new...my sister has canceled her wedding, we are very proud of her and love her very much. I'm not very worried about her, she is young and beautiful and will be just fine. Of course she is sad but she knows that in the long run she will be happier!

Me and Emma were sick on Tuesday, lost of throwing up and other "fun" stuff. We are OK today and I think that it has past us over completely. I hope no one else gets it because its no any fun.

I probably should go, i need to do a lot of things but i feel so over whelmed that i cant seem to start anything. I have done little things and I'm trying to keep the house as clean as possible but it is a never ending job. Laundry is my nemesis, i wish i could just throw it away when its dirty and buy new stuff!!

6 weeks!


I cant believe he is only six weeks old, i feel like he has been around longer, but then i cant believe he is already so big. Parker had a Dr. apt. today. The girls were terrors. But we survived (barely). Parker weighs 11lbs, 8oz. and is 23 inches long with a head circ. of 15 inches. He is in the 75% in both height and weight. So he is getting pretty big. His eating schedule is a dream, so easy and so fast. He eats like every 4-5 hours for like 8 minutes. He is a strong sucker. This picture is a little old but i am still camera-less, so it will have to do. He looks pretty much the same. He is starting to get a little personality, he is calm like Emma but when he gets mad (which is not often) he has a temper like Cate. So i guess he is a good mix. Today he got 5 shots!!! i know its a lot but since we are moving i didn't want o fall behind, they usually split them up but i asked for all of them ( don't worry its safe). I also ordered copies of the kids records. Since i have a terrible memory instead of guessing how much they weighed when they were little i can just look it up in the med. records. That way when they get older they can see what they were like instead of me just making stuff up!! Because i know that's what i would do! :)
We are looking for an apartment to rent in Kentucky, just for a few months until we can sell our house and find the area we really want. The homes in Kentucky are a lot less then here, but we don't want to spend a lot of money, something nice but cheap. Our plan is to save as much money as possible in the next 3 years so we can buy our dream house in Utah. Plus i want a new car, Emma hates her seat and we really do need something bigger. We thought that the Volvo would work and there is enough space but, we didn't calculate in the fighting and hitting that occur when the kids are too close to each other. The girls cant keep their grubby little hands off each other and off the boy.

"tagged" your it!


OK i was "tagged" by my friend Amber, or should i say former friend. I hate the "tagged" thing but since my friend is a sweet heart i will go ahead. I'm supposed to share six random weird things( or something) anyway here we go!


1) I adore ACDC, Metallica, Live, Nirvana and other sorts of music. I hate Jack Jhonson and James Blunt, they are very boring!


2) I love sharks they fascinate me at all times, but I'm also terrified that i will get eaten by one, I know I'm weird.


3) WW2 is one of my favorite subjects, its morbid but i cant get enough, also i love the history channel.


4) I played the piano and guitar when i was younger, i hate the piano and never really "got" it but i love the guitar and want one again.


5)Until i had Emma i had the hiccups everyday of my life.


6) I have hot feet they are always on fire especially when i wear socks (i don't own socks) nothing cures it.

Long Time No See






Yes i know i have neglected my blog. But i just keep forgetting. And i still figuring out the time restraint with 3 kids. There is time its just finding it. Anyway there has been a lot going on. The Thurston's came and visited us and we had a great time playing and shopping with them. The girls just adore their grandma and grandpa. My kids are so lucky to have 2 sets of grandparents that love them. This week we had to go out of town because Richards grandfather past away. He was 93 and had suffered form dementia for as long as Ive known him (7 years). His wife is 94 and still kicking. It was great to see family from all over the country, some i have never met before. And of course the girls love seeing their cousins. David and Nicole are two of the cutest kids around. We did get to go trick or treating on wed. Even though we were in Utah. Cate was a lady bug, Emma was a Butterfly and Parker was a hot dog (his dads choice). Everyone is doing great.
Also Emily and Mia came to visit us and we had a great time. Richard was in Ohio for a week and they came to keep us company. Mia and Cate have a definite love hate relationship. They fight non-stop but also love to play with each other. I had to post the pic of Mia because she looks like a little angel. We love them all.
Emma had a part in the primary program and was one of the only kids singing, which is not unusually because that's all she does at home. She had a small speaking part but when it was time she got up to the microphone and told the primary president "i don't need help i know it" then continued to bear her testimony. It was hilarious. She said i love my family, and the scriptures, and a couple other things that i cant remember because i didn't write them down (bad mommy).
Cate is doing great, she hasn't killed the baby yet so we have hope. on the flight we gave her some Dramamine but it didn't work even though its like the strongest thing you should give so...we gave her more, actually we gave her a full days dosage allowance and it finally kicked in. Maybe we should have gone by weight not age...
The girls got weighed at the airport for fun and Cate is 33 lbs and Emma is 41 lbs. So they are both doing well in the eating category. I don't know how big the baby is because i think i missed his apt. i will have to call and reschedule.

OH, i almost forgot Richard got a new job so we are off. Out of California and onto KENTUCKY!!!

We are excited and are soooooo happy that the Williams are there for alittle while longer. It will be fun to have ready made friends in a strange place. Richard will be there Nov. 26th and i will follow in December after my sisters wedding. She is getting married on the 14th in the salt lake temple. We are all very excited for her.

Anyway i think that's all so i will have to be better about the blogging so i don't forget fun stuff.
