So the other day Jo said something so fitting...

We were discussing something and I said "good job you were right JO"

SHe said, "THANKS I love it when I am right!" this isn't a one time occurrence either...  I guess it's like the old saying goes, Like mother like daughter :) or any other woman in the world hehe :)

Ryker is getting to be very entertaining lately. He is funny and cute or "tooute" as he would say it. NO more dress up just other stuff like glasses, shoes, hats. He likes to count to 1.. 2.. and other stuff. He is very motherly with his babies and loves other babies. 

Things have been go! go! go!

I haven't posted in awhile.  Some updates.... I know this is long, but it's my journal so sorry just read the *sentences and you will get the jist of it!

*Saturday night Jim & I went on a real date no kids!

Ma and Pa Innes watched our kids THANKS!! We went to "La Vigna" in Lehi. Truly it wasn't very good. The marinara sauce they use is a bit too tomatoeee for me and my spinach alfredo sauce was kinda of lumpyish. The lasagna wasn't even close to G'Ma Innes'. It was about $50 to eat there and I just didn't think it was worth the price. I dunno maybe we got a bad chef. Afterwards we went shopping, yes shopping, Jim said I got to pick. We went to Ross to look for wedding attire and they had to push us out the doors at closing time. What a great date!!

*Monday Jo had to go to the dentist again, :( Last time though.

It wasn't such a happy occasion this time as she had to have a baby root canal. I could hear her screaming from the waiting room so I went back to comfort her. It was sad. She did really good, and once she was out of the chair and got her new toy she was good. Then we went up to South Towne mall to find clothes for the wedding. I hate malls and thats that!

*Tuesday night I went out with my sister Cortney and sister in-law Stacee, and some friends for a night out with Cort. It was kind of a pre-wedding celebration.

It was a surprise and we had a great time!  It was my first time, and I will go back. It was worth every penny. If you haven't had a pedicure before let me tell you it was heaven. I got to sit in a massage chair, soak my feet and just enjoy myself and the company. It was kind of odd that they had COPS on TV.  It kind of took away from the serenity of it all but oh well. It was so fun. I had a great time, I got cute red toenails with flowers on them and cute little green foamy flip flops to wear and then we went to Cafe Rio for dinner. YUMMY! Love that place!!! To top it all off we played cards with Stacee, Digger, Cort and Dan at Diggers house. I love my family!!! PICS TO COME...

*My 4-H Afterschool Clubs started at school so work is in full swing. 

I have 10 clubs a week all with 15- 20 kids in them.  I get to entertain and treat them to a snack for 30 mins after school and then they go to club. So this week was going great till Thursday when I had the soccer club for the first time.

WARNING RANT AND RAVE!!!  The soccer club is predominantly hispanic boys who are really really good at soccer. However, on the other hand they were really disrespectful too. I had to stop them from talking several times and it was all in Spanish too, them not me so then it was really bugging. So I shouted something I shouldn't have. I told them to "sit down, shut your mouths and listen to me, if you don't understand my English deal with it, be quiet and I will have someone translate afterwards!" Is that mean and prejudice of me? After wards I thought so, to assume they can't speak English; but really come on I just needed 10 mins. Then when we dismissed to clubs they started bouncing their soccer balls, wouldn't do the American Pledge or the 4-H one.. GRRRRR... 

*On another note, they are really fun kids, very energetic and very funny now if I can just get them to learn some respect that would be great. So work was a rollercoaster but I enjoy being there, watchings kids learn to  make jewelry, cook, sign, dance, stomp, play soccer, yoga, run....I have an awesome job!!

*NEXT that night I rushed home and Jim and I got everyone ready to go to Cortneys Wedding. 

I wasn't feeling well but we manage to get to the wedding on time and "looking good." PICS TO COME.

It was a very quiet, small and peaceful ceremony, except Ryker talking about trucks that whole time to my Dad. It was a beautiful wedding in all and both Cortney and Dan were glowing with happiness. 

Ryker was jumping literally everywhere, he even rubbed his head on the pavement laughing, what a weirdo? He was soo hyped! I was out of energy by the end of the night. He isn't my quiet little lax boy anymore. We then had a scrumptious dinner, cut the cake and a little dance and came home. It was a nice evening. CONGRATS CORT & DAN we love you!

*Dan and Jim are a lot alike. He is sort of a nerd, ehheh so he gets all of Jims silly jokes, woot shirts, and likes old school music. He loves to play darts and football as does Jim. He is a really good guy and We love him!

Well thats that.. and a bag of chips! Have a great week everyone!

Cinderella and School pics!

 This is Jo on School Picture Day, Wed the 10th. I dislike studio pictures, especially school ones in particular, so we only purchased the class picture. We hope to book Angela soon for a family picture day and I am positive she will take some really good shots. But just for kicks, I had to take some  of our own out in the backyard. t Isn't she a goon? She just always has to pose or make a funny face.
 

So when Jo went to the dentist last week she got a tiara and a wand. Well, here she is all dressed up in an adorable cinderella costume Grandma Innes gave to us. G'ma probably made it, but I dunno it's cute though. She wants to be Cinderella for Halloween and I am fine with that especially with this good costume. All we need is  a cute hairdo and glass slippers right? 

Please notice how it's JO dressed up this time and not Ryker? 

Tapioga, Firsts and More!!

The Friday before Labor Day, after Jos first week of school she was given a coupon for a free sherbet ice cream  from school. She showed it to everyone and was soo proud. I almost didn't want to redeem it so I could scrapbook it. hehehe

So we went to eat at Sonic Saturday night and Jo said "after we eat dinner can we go get my tapioga?" I thought, tapioca she hates that stuff, she calls it the yucky pudding with the dots.... So we asked again and she said "...tapiogi..." Jim and I were dumbfounded. "What is your tapiogi Jo?" She said, "You know... (like DUH) the card I got from school with the orange ice-cream on it!" Oh HOGI YOGI.. that was it! She wanted her free ice cream treat.  So after a night at Sonic, (where we think paid too little but they lost our receipt so we couldn't questioned it, Then they gave our food to someone else and then... forgot Jims burger(should have been free anyway)) we went to Hogi Yogi for Jo to redeem her class coupon. She had a lime sherbet and loved it. Jim and I had a coupon for a BOGO for the signatures so I got this candy bar crunch it was peanut butter cup, oreos, chocolate and something else YUM and Jim got this mint concoction. It was fun, cheap and it was a good night, memorable at the least.

TODAY JO went to the dentist for the first time!  I know I am a BAD mom as she is 4 almost 5. However my only defense is she was scared to even read a book about the dentist. I think she got that from me, but I love the dentist now however when I was little and it came to the dentist. They had to strap me down, glad they don't do that anymore, and even then the dentist said I was too scared and needed  a special dentist.

 So after I saw 2 cavities on Jos back molars (Its been hell or high water to get her to brush her teeth) we scheduled. She went to a dentist clear out in Saratoga Springs, because cousin Alyssha works there and gave her a pep talk about how 'cool' it was. Jo did so awesome!!! I was so proud of her. She just sat there and stared at DORA on the TV in the ceiling, listened to her headphones, and didn't even cry when they had to numb her. I was glad as I have been dreading this day. She had 2 little cavities and then Mon we have to go back to what could be a possible baby root canal... poor girl. :( BUT we are making progress as she got some fun stuff at the dentist, a tiara with wand, mirror, 2 new princess toothbrushes, a sand timer for brushing and paste and floss. She was soo excited " I didn't even cry!" she told Jim when we arrived home. Oh my little girl is growin up, and she ASKED to have her teeth brushed tonight!!!

So I got pulled aside by Miss PJ, at Preschool the other day.

I am thinking oh no, JO is fighting or being mean.... OH NO it was just the opposite, she is being tooo nice. It appears she has a boyfriend named Ashton in her class and he kissed her so she kissed him back. 

The teacher said she just wanted me and the other mom to know that she has had to separate them a few times because they are getting tooo affectionate and for us not to be mad. MAD? I thought are YOU mad lady? Why would I be mad? What a bad and uncomfortable position for her and the other kids to be in. I was not mad, I laughed and said I would talk to JO. The other mom talked about how her son is just very loving and it is because of his younger sisters. I guess he is the oldest and is very "lovey dovey" she said. Jo is the oldest, and has Ryker for a younger bro and she is quite the mean little ____ with him. What happened there?

Kinda of funny though huh? I guess she is getting an early start, way tooo early though. We told her not to kiss anybody that isn't related to her. So she started to ramble off  everyone who she could give kisses to and it ended at that.

ME KISS BOYS ??? NO....

What a weekend!

This was the first Labor Day weekend that hasn't taken me somewhere. Usually we go camping, boating or even to Mesquite. Not this year it was the annual UHA Fun Fly in Lehi! Which meant spending time in good ole Lehi, my home. :)

Jim definitely labored all weekend long at his Fun Fly. It was a great time and a good turnout. They had some firsts this year. They donated some of their proceeds to B.A.C.A. so they were there and they had a live band called "Little Wasatch". They were a girl group that sang old soft rock and man the lead singer she could really sing it. It was cool and reminded me of the good old days.

Jim had more club members help this year so I was able to be there on and off and really didn' t have to help at all. It was hot and the bugs were really really bad. The kids and I spent the weekend nights at moms. Jo loved having a "sleepover" both nights. We also got to spend some time with Lyndi and her boys on Friday evening at moms and at the field Saturday. It was a good time. Jim got some good picture practice in,  got to actually fly some of the time, and he shut down and got out of there before the storm hit hard.

Yesterday we just kinda of hung out and enjoyed being home. We then went to lunch and some shopping with the kids. WE tried to go to a dollar movie but they were ALL sold out figures. All in all it was a good weekend. Now back to school and work!!!
