white trash to the rescue!

What the heck?!?! I posted something!

2011-01-21T10:27:00.000-08:00

Ok so one of my goals this year is to keep up with my blog for journaling purposes. I'm going to honestly give it a try.

So since my last post a lot has changed. I still miss my grandparents but I'm slowly getting used to the fact they aren't here anymore. It's hard to let go sometimes and just enjoy what they left behind but Satan has a friend that I'm convinced is there to be contentious. It's just a guilt driven fight because this person missed out on a whole lifetime of greatness, love, and tons of fun from grandma and grandpa. I'd probably be that crazy too. But I'm not because I had what most of my family didn't. I had them and that is the greatest inheritance I could ever ask for.

So times flies when you're having fun!!! Well not a whole lot of fun. I got big, fat, and pregnant that wouldn't let me eat sugar or drink dr pepper. It was the longest and hardest 5 months of my life!!! The only thing that kept me going was the fact that I was finally getting my little girl!! I love her!!!

Chaselynn Paige Casey was born Sept 21, 2010. She is so cute and I just love the little miss!!! She's a very happy little thing. All Smiles! One of the sweet little blessing of her is that sometimes when she would do this half smile she looked just like my grandma buckner but with my grandma fry's attitude. lol

Life in Carlsbad has pretty good. Aside for some rocky spots it's turning out to be a great thing that we are here. I got a really good job and my boss who treats me like family is really good to me and Chaselynn gets to tag along with me. We are buying our first house because of him allowing me to work with da bebe. I can't tell you what a blessing it was for my boss to bug me 6 months at my old job to come work for him. I am very grateful for this job and i'm not sayin it just because he might read this. if he does: Travis(yeah that's my boss's name too) you are a bastard!!! lol So yeah i'm working and taking classes at night. I'll be gettin my associates next may. I'm still debating on the nursing program. i know i don't want to do that anymore but i feel i should go through with it to prove a point. but i don't know.

Seany is growing and is so smart. He just turned 4 Dec 29th. My dad is teaching him to read. I was going to but my dad asked if he could be the one to do it. I think he misses teaching. hahaha I had to bug my dad because Seany kept asking me what every stinkin sign would say and sometimes when he'd be looking through comic books he'd say ' i wish i could read so i could know what they're saying.'

My little brother came home last month from his mission. it's been really fun having him home. get this. Without even one semester of college he enrolled at NMSU-Las Cruces(NMSU Carlsbad is Awful!!! and a serisous joke) and with his AP scores they gave him 36 credits! what a blessing that is for him serving faithfully in Cali!!! way to go Uncle DAVE!!!

I can say though is life is good and hopefully continues to get better. It's been a rough couple of years and I think i'm finally getting to the end of the tunnel with this crap and ready for the next big adventure. I just hope it's a fun one and not like this last one. lol so enjoy these pics.

i know i should be better...

2010-02-19T20:41:00.000-08:00

ok let's see what's been going on...

My Grandfather passed away Jan 2. I must admit it was a bitter sweet feeling. I loved him so. I miss him still but am so happy for him.

My Grandmother passed away 2 weeks later. This was a lot harder for me to deal with. I lost a solid rock in my life. I loved her so and always thought she'd be here forever. I always felt guilty I didn't stick up for her when people especially family would be mean and correct her and sometimes argue with her over what day it was. I never understood why people would do that to someone who's mind was gone. What I noticed was that the emotion of her getting her feelings hurt lasted longer than her memory of the act. It still bothers me....anyways I'm glad she's got her mind back and she's fully restored but I miss those stories and I miss her.

I'm having a baby. SON OF A BITCH! i know!!!

I started back in school and actually kinda enjoy it. I don't have my math book and I still have a B. I decided I'll try for an A since I can't do and better than a B with out the book. so I broke down and ordered it online. lol

Seany is growing to fast. He's so jealous of any kid that has a younger sibling. When Jess had her son Conner he would ask me how come he doesn't have his own baby Connor like Kiera. He really is the sweetest.

He loves pre-school. I recomend it to anyone. The socialization, the games, the learning and just the all around fun are worth every penny. He could talk very well before but now it feels like I'm talking to a 6 yr old! He's so smart and it is Amazing to watch. He loves to read, loves the library, and loves tv! lol

Sorry no pics. my comp died and I can't find my cable to upload onto my dad's comp. so maybe next time.

lesson learneded....

2009-11-21T18:20:00.000-08:00

My grandpa is dying. My grandma is dying. So what lesson could I possibly learn from that. We all die. We have to.

I have to teach my relief society tomorrow. I learned if I show up to relief society they will ask you teach...hence I have not been back since. Kidding. But I have thought about it.

I was asked to teach from the talk by Jeffrey R Holland, "Safety for the Soul" from this past conference. It is a very good talk. He discusses the fear we may have in the world concerning the last days but takes it to a personal level and that there is where the fear should lie. He then reassures us that we have a Father in Heaven that already knows these dangers and troubles of the heart and through his disciples and scriptures gives us counsel and protections regarding them. He goes on to talk about Lehi's dream and the comforts of knowing we have an 'iron rod' to cling to.

Is the world a God awful place that the end is near and the fire and brimstone are knocking at our very door step? NO. The lesson I learned tonight is this: My grandpa is dying. My grandma is dying. How is this a lesson? My grandpa has cancer again. This time there's nothing we can do but manage it until he goes. He's also in heart failure and is retaining water. As I sat there tonight rubbing his poor swollen feet I couldn't help but think of a conversation I had with him over a month ago. That night the nurse told us he was in heart failure and that his blood pressure was to low to do anything but make him comfortable to die. It was a little rough hearing that. More for me watching my mom's heart break. But the conversation that came next is something that I'll never forget. He sat there with Bishop Jenkins and said: "I'm not afraid. I've had a good life. I love my wife and my kids and I loved the chance the Lord has given me to be hear and to get see the things He's let me see. I got to go to Belize, Honduras, Alaska, and Europe. I've been able to overcome many different illnesses. It's been a good life. I've gotten to work to provide a life for my family, serve a mission with my wife, serve in the church and meet some good people. The Lord has blessed me all my life. It was a good life." The most amazing statement to me was even though he though he might die he still made sure his tithing was paid. That was most important to him.

My Grandpa converted to the Church in the 40s and has before that day and since that day tried live by the Lord through the knowledge that he has gained. The lesson I learned tonight was the promptings of the spirit that gingerly reminded me of the loving example of both my grandparents. He's not afraid. She's not afraid. They don't care about the world around them. They have lived for the world they've created in their home. They are aware of what's going on and have done their civic duty when asked upon. My grandmother kept them in tune to the spirit and made sure she taught with love and a wooden spoon. :) They've been through the Great Depression and have seen technology that they thought would never happen. And yet as they reach their 'last days' how ever long that will be. The each know through the fullness of the gospel they will be together forever and this is only the beginning.

I just want to say how grateful I am for the opportunity to be here and that I was fortunate enough to grow up next door to them. Some family members think Carlsbad is the armpit of the world but really it's where they live. They don't have the relationship that I got to have with grandma and grandpa. Carlsbad is hell for me because of another reason. The reason I can say I love this place is because of my grandparents and my parents. They have taught the world is as bad a place as I look for it to be or it's the best time of my life. That one day I'll be able say I've 'lived a good life.'

Thank you grandpa and grandma for a lifetime of love, near death experiences, memories and teaching me about angels. I'll never be able to eat apricot jelly sandwiches or french toast or microwave a scorpion without thinking and giggling about you. Also I hope, grandma, that I get to cuss and say it was what the dog said. I really do look forward to blaming my cussing on the dog. I love you and hope I grow up to be just like you.

hmmm...

2009-11-08T14:35:00.001-08:00

So let's see what's been goin on around here... Sean is in a preschool/daycare and loves it! Although if you ask him he he wants to go to school he starts to cry. hahaha Once he gets there it's a different story. He loves all the kids and is always talking about 'his kids' actually he says 'my kids.' He's a very social boy when it comes to meeting and talking to new kids. His nursery teachers and school teachers all say the same thing. He's well behaved and is always walking up to kids to play with them and offer whatever toy he's got. He's such a funny kid and so talkative. I LOVE IT! He's addicted to Spongebob and Caillou these days. He also follows uncle Mikey or my dad outside helping them 'fix' things. Don't worry he's still crazy about super heros and still refers to me as 'Mary Jane' and 'Pepper Pots' as well as 'Gwen' from BEN10.

As far as me and that guy I married. We made it as far as Carlsbad and got stuck here probably for forever. While I hate being here and there are a handful of reasons why but it's not something worth talking about. BUT I love being around my mom and I love my friends at church and so its bearable. I got a job as a teller and bookkeeper for my mom's business. Travis is cooking and prep for my mom's restaraunt and catering co. My mom keeps him pretty busy. He's happy because he loves it and loves working with my mom. So life is good? ha we'll see.

this is a typical seany face....he always makes this face as when you're trying to tell him something. it's almost like he's mocking you...

Here's 3 of the 4.5 grandbabies. aren't they sweet? yeah until all 3 start to fight over the same thing!

Proof that white trash is hereditary!

2009-09-09T19:16:00.000-07:00

Ok so every kid is different. Every kid learns different. Every kid needs his or her own motivator to get them to do what you want. In the potty training of The Sean it was praise. I have no idea why. But HEY, it works. He has to tell every one " I DID IT!" He just eats up the attention he's gotten. Seany prefers to pee outside. He loves to 'free ball' it too as you can tell by the pic below. After he's pulled the ultimate male thing(pee off a porch) he raises his arms as if to say "well? where's my praise?" and makes the funniest face. i've tried to catch that on camera but i'm always to late and if he sees the camera he makes the face in the bottom pic.

As you can see he doesn't like gettin his pic takin while he's doin his bidness. lol This pics says to me "Mom, i'm really disappointed in you right now!"

A funny side note is my dad's favorite story about Sean in this whole training process. Sean's first poop in the potty(thankfully he hasn't fully crapped his pants) was interesting to say the least. Once he was done he looked down and said, "Oh! I pooped a snake!" oh how i love the sweet innocence of children. i know when i tell travis that i pooped a snake he just gets grossed out instead of finding it cute and funny. Then again i don't think travis running around nekked with sean yellin "Nekked daddy!" while sean yells, "Nekked SEANY!!" is very cute either.

p.s. as i was posting this sean saw his nekked pic and said " look at me peein." hahahaha

pics finally!

2009-09-05T20:14:00.000-07:00

super uncle michael and batman sean!

sleeping dragons...

uncle michael and sean watching batman on the laptop

my little thug!

Thug LIFE!!!

I done did it!!

2009-09-04T22:34:00.001-07:00

ok first sorry it's been so long. my 3 readers i'm sure have moved on but here i am if you still want me.

So here's what we've been up to:

I'm gonna start and work my way backwards.

SEANY is POTTY TRAINED!
well i like to think so. he's been accident free since tuesday and it's been fairly easy. we started tuesday and he didn't take to it very well until he learned he could go outside. once that happened he'll now only pee outside. he'll poo in the potty but no pee. it's funny cuz he has to tell everyone: "i did it!! WHOO HOO!" and that's been his only motivation. no bribes. nothin but praise. now i just have to figure out how to get him to pee in the potty. i don't want his first day of school to be "teacher, i need to go outside" and have him go back in and yell "I DID IT!" It feels so good to be out of diapers! i still have to wipe ass but it's not as bad and sean'll catch on soon i hope.

Grandpa Buckner has Cancer...again
grandpa had stomach cancer 6 years ago and here in carlsbad they said he only had 2 months to live. well the huntsman center in salt lake basically threw out the dr.'s prognosis, removed 2/3 of his stomach and made history for his age and health and overcoming this cancer. well about 2 months ago my mom noticed he was not eating and then he said that it hurt when he ate and that he was having some mild pain around his lower belly. well we took him to the dr. and after a scan and some tests he again had cancer. he had spots on his liver and lymph nodes. again they said he only had a short time to live. they didn't even bother to find out what type it was. it makes me wonder how many people have died because dr.s don't care. well we sent him to utah again and they were pretty excited because he being 93 is charting new territory for cancer patients. he is in such perfect health and he's their first and so they have no one to compare him to in a sense as to how any treatment would be on him. they diagnosed him with Adeno Carcinoma(sp? i'm not sure.) it is a cancer that attacks soft tissue. while it is terminal and we can't cure it is slow growing and the best treatment is actually diet. so essentially we've put him on the "RAW" diet to get his body ph balance and go from there. he said "You know i never gelt like have a short time left. I have faith in my body that i can get my strength back from this." which is interesting coming from a 93 yr old. but as righteous as he i'm sure he'll decide when he's ready to go.

We Made it as far as Carlsbad...
kinda grouchy about that. what keeps me from being completely grouchy is i'm here because my mother needs me. one thing that i love about my family is that we'll do anything for and will be there for one another. knowing my mother's growing business was taking her over and the stress of my grandmother with Alzheimer's and grandfather with cancer she was starting to sink. not financially but emotionally and physically. so we're here til she doesn't need us anymore. so she can breathe. i love her and will put off my whole world to give her even a moments rest from the her daunting life right now. i know she knows i love her but sometimes the only way i can repay her for always being so good to me and others is to show her. so carlsbad sucks, my in-laws suck worse here and i hate being here but i'm glad to be out of phoenix and glad i could be here for my mother.

PICS!!!!

ok so maybe tomorrow. it won't let my upload them so i'll try tomorrow. SORRY!

oh mary!!!

2009-07-13T09:24:00.001-07:00

I JUST WANTED TO POST SO EVERYONE WILL KNOW!!!! MARY, YOU ARE ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE FAMILY MEMBERS! it is a hoot to hang around you! it's in all caps so to look as if i'm yelling it out to everyone! hahahaha that's for you! so now can i see that pic? pretty please!

oh yeah....

2009-07-11T22:45:00.000-07:00

So I got to thinking that I didn't want to live in AZ anymore. Also I didn't want Travis to have to be waiting for 2 years to get into the Physical Therapy Assisting program here. So I got to looking around and making some phone calls. One of the places that I was looking into for Physician Assisting was Texas Tech. Their PA program is in Odessa, TX at their Health Science Center. Well Odessa also has a college that offers the PTA program for Travis. So I called down there to figure out tuition and GI Bill stuff and what the wait would be. Well the Academic advisor said he could get in next fall. Also Texas is one of the few states that the new Chapter 33 GI Bill pays the most. AND best of all they still consider us NM residents and we got in-state tuition! NICE! So we are now moving to Odessa Texas! It'll be nice being only 3 hours from my parents and 6 hrs to San Antonio my two favorite places. Although I'm not a fan of tornadoes and flat lands with no wind break. I think I'll live getting to achieve my goal( being a PA) and helping Travis to achieve his(being the first EVER in his family to graduate college). So Peace out Arizona! :)

Fun time in New Mexico? sorta....

2009-07-11T22:20:00.000-07:00

So I sent Travis and Sean to New Mexico for 3 weeks without me. I met up with them and the Buckners at my grandparents 70th wedding anniversary/ reunion. It was alright. I got to see some of the family I wanted but my favs that I was hoping came didn't so I was a little bummed. Sorry it turned into an almost disappointment....BUT I still had a good time with the favs. :) Here is from our scenic canoe ride. LOL Trav and I and my big bro and his wife went up and down the Black river. It was a hoot as we laugh and watch Jamie and Goga bicker.

The lovely wildlife we came across....like hundreds of turtles.

Captain Travis bossin us around.

Jamie and Goga right before we headed out.

The Amazon!!!! lol

I tried....

Us before we got on the boats...don't we look ready to go?

Princess Kiera tossing rocks in the river! Sean and her fight over stuff a lot so he's not there in order to keep the peace. It's hilarious to watch them battle!!! When he chases her after stuff he shoots 'webbing'(which is really him just making the sound and the hand gestures that spiderman does) thinking it will stop her! I tried to get it on camera but it didn't work out. Next time I'll be sure to catch it because I know better now! hahahaha

Sorry I didn't take many pics. actually these are the only ones I took. Just wasn't feelin it this time. oh well! I'll live!

when all is quiet all through out....

2009-06-03T20:56:00.000-07:00

First off! LOOK AT THAT TAN LINE! all from swimming everyday after work! What a tiny little butt butt too!

So things were nice a quiet at the house and i was pleased that sean was happily playing on his own which allowed me to watch my shows....well when it's too quiet it's too quiet. Am I right? Well i was right. he had gotten my concealer and went to town on his face. He said he was painting his face light spiderman. LOL oh well! Laugh it off right? hahahahaha

the day in the life of a budding super hero!

2009-05-30T18:03:00.000-07:00

So Sean is way into super heros. Bethy bought a superman onesie and of course Sean had to wear it. here he is wearing it of which he needed a mask to go with his outfit. my favorite is when he puts on the mask he asks "Where Seany?" and then lifts the mask and says "Here i am!" also when he puts the mask back on he says in his "deep" raspy voice "I'm BATMAN!" He's way better than any marine i've met!! lol

Here we are goin to check the mail. he insisted on wearing his "outfit" because he wanted to go fight bad guys. so i guess he is doing us a service by going out and risking his life so that we can go check out mail without the termoil of evil hovering around us.

I guess i should thank him. I did manage to check the mail without any trouble. LOL

notice where he's placed the mask.

Tell me that's not the cutest thing ever! I love it!

thanks fake flu! it was fun!

2009-05-19T21:27:00.000-07:00

So this past weekend i got to go on a kid free, husband free, FREE cruise weekend with my sister and friend Stacey. We were supposed to go to Ensenada(sp?) Mexico but because of that H1N1 crap we got to go from Long Beach to Catalina Island. Now that's fine. it just sucked cuz catalina is like 45 min from Long Beach.LOL i know! they had to stretch a 3 day cruise around a 45 minute boat ride. So we cirlced around a bit. hahahahaha it was fun still. The crappy part was actually when we had to get off. it was a 2 hour wait gettin through customs even though we never left the US. Ridiculous!!!! the highlight of that trip though was we got tickets to Six Flags Magic Mountain for 25 bucks! In case you were wondering......YES IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!! Except when stacey barfed on the riddler ride and some of it got on me.....gag! yeah when you're strapped in you can't run from it! it reminded me of when my friend Marcy and I went to Lagoon with the Tylers and one of the Tylers barfed on a kiddy ride. lol so here are a few pics from my trip....

Me at the bottom of Wrigley monument.....yeah the gum guy owned the island...

My towel dog....i'm totally talented at that whole towel animal thing.

Me right before dinner.....don't i look like a 50s mom? lol

typical Bethy.

Loved to just relax and listen to my ipod and watch the ocean.

Ready to tour it up at catalina!

ESSSCAAPPEEE to New Mexico!

2009-04-22T21:11:00.000-07:00

I know i haven't posted any easter pics. that's because sean didn't spend easter with me. Bethy was driving to carlsbad and after weeks of begging and crying from my mom and bethy so i agreed to send him down there. I know i'm a terrible mom for not spending easter with my son but honestly i hate holidays and i have a bad attitude towards them and i'd rather he spend it with people that would make a big deal out of it. I know i'm terrible. anyways so i got to go down and help bethy drive back. instead of someone pick me up in el paso i got to fly on a CESNA! yeah one of those small planes!!! it was just me and the two pilots and one was my age and the other was 22!!! so yeah it was scary! Obviously i landed safely or else i wouldn't be here to write this but still! it actually wasn't to bad in the air but take off and landing was like a roller coaster! So here a few pics of our trip.

Carlo eating some very delicious river/moss rocks!

We Love the river!!!!

I love this pic! he's such a goofy kid!!

Ok so only us new mexicans in the middle of the desert would have a place called "the beach." it's a place they cleared off by the pecos river and put sand and called it a beach. lol but's it's awesome and not matter how dirty the water was it was a blast! Am I right buckner cousins? lol

Your typical boy throwing stuff in the river! lol

Popa playin with the babies! look at those ham hocks on Carlo!!!

Shadow puppets of Seany and Momma! days like that at the river make me miss carlsbad. i loved living by a river and gettin to swim and chill in the sun. I look forward to showing my kids the same places we used to go there and lettin him explore grandpa great's(my grandpa buckner) land and the 1/2 mile of river that's all ours. Good times.

JAM ja JAM ja JAM JAM JAM!mmmmmmmm

2009-04-15T08:51:00.000-07:00

So last night i decided it was time to make jam. my mom and aunt make the best freezer jam. my aunt always sends me home with some everytime i visit her. *note to self: visit barbi more often* anyways i was there easter sunday to visit her son marcus who just got home from his mission and it was his homecoming. after much talk about canning (it is a goal of mine to do) i told here i was craving strawburry freezer jam. she told me it was easy and that's all it took. so for 6 bucks i made 9 jam jars and 4 freezer packs of strawburry jam....let me tell you it is delicious! WOOT! i'm so proud of my self. now so i can enjoy my jam i have to bake fresh bread.....let us see if that works cuz i'm not very good at it. lol anyways i just wanted to brag a little since i'm the very opposite of a handy homemaker. I don't sew, barely cook, and there are no crafts in my house! i burp, fart and scratch myself instead! lol so this is my one step closer to being a good ol' wife. Plus i'm strangely addicted to old school ways like canning and such. i feel it's a lost art. it's something i think would be cool to pass down to my daughters or since i'm only having the one kid maybe his wife would do it with me. :)

Let's DO THIS!! Am i weird?

2009-04-14T13:43:00.001-07:00

Ok so i've fallen in love with 24 fitness classes. although i kinda fell off the wagan from sick kid to sick me and then lazy me. but i'm back on the horse. so i have this friend there. well actually she's not my friend yet becuase right now i'm in the stalking phase. i know ok! she has the body that i want!!! so i try to do what ever she does! lol i know ok!!! my friend nichole goes with me and she makes it way more fun and me less creepy. hahahaha i'm so addicted to the weights and SETS(aerobics with weights.) lately that's all i think about at work is how i could be doing that... oh and running. So if any of you wanna come and work out with me it's awesome. Nichole is moving to texas and so i'm gonna need a new work out buddy and it's too soon for the one i stalk there. lol the kids club is totally awesome and i am too! so let me know! hahaha

ALSO
So it's been a life long dream to be able to run more than say a 1/2 mile without dying and breathing so hard that i feel like i'm having an asmar attack. Lately all my friends have ran these half marathons and i thought what a good idea to do. they all did it why can't i, right? Marcy set me up with a training schedule and i've done real good sticking to it. i was neverous about being able to run at least a mile and now it's all cake! although i'm tired of running on a tread mill with all those farters and Indians(India ones, Natives don't come unless we pay for it! lol) those guys wreak! and i can't tell you how many times i'm gagged and laughed and tried to keep for barfing! And yes i'm the one that points it out to who ever farted! COME ON!!! at least do it by a fan so it quickly gets swept away! that's what i do and one time i thought the fan wasn't strong enough to push it away! lol i almost tripped off the tread mill while looking for an escape route! anyways i only do it cuz they do it and it serves them right thinking they can sneak one out! i'll make them pay!! lol
anyways the 1/2 marathon isn't til August and depending on how that one goes i'll run the Camp Pendleton one in Sept. i really only wanna run that one cuz the hot marines! I even plan on shaving my legs for that one! lol WoOt! WOOT!! wish me luck!

sorry only one hot firman per crew!

2009-04-04T15:24:00.000-07:00

So last night i was lightly sleeping when i started to smell this burnt plastic smell. I laid there thinking what it could be and finally i got up to check things out. I thought that it a bag i left on the stove. so i got up and instead of checking the stove i immediately went out side. Yes in my garmies...i noticed smoke outside so i went back in grabbed a blanket and by then trav was wondering what i was doin. we both went out and yep lots of smoke.

trav went to the apt. below us cuz that's where we saw the smoke. he openned their laundry/storage room and all this smoke. As he went to getting them out i immediately put on close and grabbed sean and called 911.

Trav is using the fire extinguisher and the firemen show up. i'm not gonna lie i was really hoping for some real hot ones. i've seen them playing ultimate frisbee at the park like every day. Yeah i was excited. they get there and granted its 2:30 in the morning but still they were all old guys with guts. the only misterious one was this guy who was the only one in his gear. mask and all. everyone else was in their blue pants and polos. when it was all done get gets out of his outfit and BAM! IT'S A LOOKER! I then realized they hid him under all that heavy crap cuz they were jealous. he was the token hot guy! lol

anyways turns out the people below us overloaded their dryer and something caused to catch fire. so our apt stinks soooooo bad now of burnt plastic. we stayed our at a friends our house cuz it was so bad. today i've been fighting with the manager of the complex cuz she thinks the smell is not there. she came over to inspect the damage and said she didn't smell anything. it wasn't until i made a bunch of complaints and the cleaning crew for the apt below us came up and check it out that she believed what i was saying. so now i get my whole apt cleaned. carpets and all!!! WOOT WOOT!!!

so yeah i save lives and get things done! like gettin my place cleaned for FREE! lol

Some say white trash is a choice...i'm startin to think it's genetic!

2009-03-23T11:52:00.000-07:00

The white trash is a Casey trait....mind you. It's genetic through Trav's family... my side has tendensies but we don't live by the "code" if you will....

So lately Sean has decided to go shirtless. It is always in the afternoon too. i don't understand. I thought i made the mistake of buying him this super heros shirt that he had to wear every day and cried everytime he had to take it off to take a bath... now not so much. if he wears a shirt it has to be that shirt(or bad guys as he calls it) and then about 2 or so it's off and he's free as a bird! lol Also he didn't want to potty train so i'm waiting on that but he has to wear underwear over his diaper.... actually if i let him he'd go with out a diaper but he won't use a potty... oh well when he's ready he'll be ready.

Also...Lately Sean's been tricking me into thinking he's done with naps. he's such a liar! he won't go down for a nap on some days and on those days he always passes out at like 6:30 at night. i'll let him take a cat name for about 30 min but then i wake him up and he's pissed! once i thought he was out for the night only to have him wake up at 10 ready to play and stay up til 2! I only make that mistake once!

Last but not least if there is any doubt in any of your minds that Travis is not the father this kid....well this should put all your minds at ease! lol there is no doubt who this kid's dad is....the next question is who the mother?

p.s. on a side note Sean now wakes up yelling "MOMMA! Where are you?!?!" he also says that when he finds himself alone in his room or needing to show some one a new trick. lol

PEE PEE in the POTTY?

2009-03-11T11:07:00.000-07:00

So this is it!!! Friday is the day The Sean says GOOD BYE to the diaper! Hopefully! So i got a poster board for stickers and he picked out his underwear and we're gettin the potty today. so any tricks of the trade? i'll take whatever i can get!

He picked a winner!

2009-03-05T12:49:00.000-08:00

This is what Sean does for school now! lol I love his face! He looks like "what's the big deal?" So yeah this is what I'm stuck with. I'm the mom with the kid who's always got a finger up his nose....you remember those kids in school don't you? I know you do!!!!

War Paint...

2009-02-24T13:01:00.001-08:00

Today in pre-school the kids were painting the letter Ff....Nichole said she heard: "oh my eyes" and this is what she saw! hahahahaha I stoll this off her pre-school blog cuz it's way cute! it kinda reminds me of those orik(sp?) things from "Lord of the Rings." LOL i lub my baby!

kisses!

2009-02-17T08:38:00.001-08:00

Sean's old way of giving kisses was tilting his forehead towards you to kiss. now it's on the mouth! as you can tell i'm not sure about it....i miss the old way although it is way cute when he leans over to kiss my check at night. and yes he does the "mmmmmmmmm muah" sound with each kiss. how cute is that! He crawled into bed with me last night and as he snuggled in he reached over and pull my face over to give me a kiss on the forehead. LOVE IT! he is such a little lover! lol

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

MUwAH!

Time and all Eternity baby! I chose this didn't i? Crap!

2009-02-17T08:10:00.000-08:00

So since december Travis decided to grow a beard.....yeah i know. now he looks good with a five-o-clock shadow but any longer and he starts lookin like a pervert.... i will admit i was gettin used to the squirrel on his face and it was fun stickin stuff in it too. trav had originally planned to to just grow for as long as he could stand and be all Joaquin Phoenix like but some things happened and he shaved. Here's what happened. He took sean to school yesterday and nichole didn't see them as she walked out the door and it scared the living daylights outta her. I mean she SCREAMED!!! lol so trav decided it had to go. here are the phases of the beard. why men grow facial hair i don't know. i do know they are not mature enough for it and it causes us women to suffer! lol

Hey there little man! I gots some candy in my Van for ya!
Come on over and try a little piece!!!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha see what i had to deal with?!?!?!

i tried to crop the tattoo on his chest out cuz it's UGLY! although it does match his chops in this one.

Every guy has to do the porn stache!

Wow! Right? he looks pleased with himself in this pic. Aren't i so lucky? lol yeah right! now his beard hair won't clog the drain and he'll stop using my expensive fancy shampoo to wash that rug on his face!

He's makin me pay!

2009-02-11T12:02:00.000-08:00

The Price was a screamin cryin kid til 1 this morning! plus i'm still sick and Sean is mostly better. i feel he is keeping me from gettin rest and over coming this cold as my punishment for not "finding" his pacy. Well I guess we'll see who the more stubborn one is.....i will fight til the death! or at least til i get to carlsbad to find out grandma or popa snuck one in behind my back.... i'll be keeping my good eye on them.

Freedom does not come Free! Pacify this!

2009-02-10T13:35:00.000-08:00

So I have a very independent child. he has pretty much done everything on his own. He weened himself off the boob. same as the bottle. Taught himself how to eat, drink, and now put on clothes. He hates being a baby! HATES it! he always tries to keep up with the big kids....except for this one thing......THE PACY!(or binky which ever you all it. sean says pizza) He doesn't need during the day but when he feels bad or nervous and to sleep he HAS to have it. plus he grinds his teeth at night and that helps him not. i've half assed tried to take it away but give up after he bites me.
So how did i do it you ask?
I didn't really have much choice. he lost the last one we had on sunday! little bastard! actually it wasn't all that hard. he went right to sleep. so i found the pacy yesterday but didn't tell sean. last night was a different story.
First off the filthy thing got me sick....he's been sick too but i've never gotten sick with him. so i was a little grouchy but not to worried. so i was laying by sean in my bed trying to put him down. sean asked "Pizza? where pizza?" i replied. "I don't know you tell me?" he then went"ugh!" he does that when he's bummed. He then said: "bed(in a stern voice). BED. mom, my bed." so i put him in his bed and he rolled away from me and went to sleep.
HAHAHA I guess he was disappointed in mom. he stayed there all night. usually i'll put him to sleep in my bed then carry him to his and then about 3 he climbs back in bed with me.
so we are free of the pacy! At what price? i guess only time will tell....or i'm sure sean will! lol

just for fun i guess...

2009-02-02T20:00:00.000-08:00

i can't think of anything clever but i haven't really done anything exciting. saturday our ward did a kick ball thing and while all the boys got to play us girls got stuck with the kids. it was still way fun! i loved gettin to know my new ward. the women in it are quite rad! so here are some pics of sean at the park we were at.

When i see this i hear "let me tell you 'bout my best friend!" these are Nichole's boys and they love sean! and Sean loves them! so much that they all cramed in sean's little chair so they could watch batman. I love it!

Sean being dramatic with the sand.....he totally is a drama queen which is a casey trait!

this is the boys riding 'Fefe' which one of the girls named and shoved mud in his nose then ran off. hahaha as you can tell these boys could care less.

-ok i just realized that i don't actually have pics of the ward activity so i guess you'll just ahve to take my word for it. that it did happen and i actually went to an activity! that actually is my goal this year. i'm gonna try real hard. you may have to put me on a prayer roll! lol

Is he really giving or is there a motive?

2009-01-13T09:05:00.001-08:00

So lately Sean's been trying to be helpful. He doesn't say 'I help' or 'let me do it'. When he sees me doing something he always runs to me and asks "Need help? Mom! Mom! MOMMA! (in a sweet voice)Need help?" So I let him do whatever i'm doing. Then this morning Nicole texted me that he asked her if she needed help when she was putting her laundry away. Isn't that cute? I think so...i hope it lasts cuz it just melts my heart! Maybe it's a trick to throw me off when he's been a bastard and its a new sick way to manipulate me....whatever it is it works everytime! May God have mercy on us all for the havoc The Sean shall bring! hahaha what have i done raising this demon seed! ok ok ok maybe i just need to love him and believe he is my sweet little helper and look towards the positive side.......but i'm afraid he's trying to weaken me and that i'm falling straight into his trap! He's not the boss of me right? I'm the BOSS! Or atleast i think/hope i am! hahaha

Sean's first week of Pre-pre school!

2009-01-09T07:43:00.000-08:00

So I have this new friend.....Her name is Nicole and i net her in my new ward. She Started this pre-pre school at home and I decided to stick Sean in it. BOY am I glad I did. He LOVES it! Nicole is a great teacher too. She is hyper and really active and has loads of energy and I'm convinced she runs them ragged! lol She does these neat little lesson plans and crafts and dancing. She's amazing! (I know she's gonna be reading this so i have to say nice things about her.....lol j/k Nicole you really are awesome!) Here are some pics i stole off her blog!

They made binoculars and went looking for things that are green....that's the color of the week.

The letter was Aa and they made green aligator puppets. Why so serious Sean?

Sean was really proud of his puppet. as i was posting this Sean said "ALIGATOR!" in his monster voice. So see he is learning something! I say that cuz yesterday I asked him what he learned today and he said "I donknow."LOL

I'm so proud of my little guy. I'm still in awe that he's learning to talk and do things on his own. Sometimes i just want my baby back! Oh well this is a way fun stage as he's picking up things and copy-catting us and I just hope and pray he doesn't stand up in church and says a wordy dird.(dirty word). All I know is that when or if it happens it won't be because he got it from me......Hell I'm an angel damn it!

Sean as a black baby...lol and a big guy!

2008-12-29T20:19:00.000-08:00

Here is THE SEAN. Look at how big he was! Still is! And that Head! Holy cow!

this is the black baby pic i was telling you all about..... this is Sean just minutes old and believe it or not he was darker than that. he was purple!

HAPPY BIRFDAY THE SEAN!!!!

2008-12-29T09:13:00.000-08:00

Today is a sad day.....My baby is officially a toddler. I can't believe it! It just seems like yesterday I brought him home. When Sean was born he was 8lbs 6 oz and 3 weeks early. Yes his head had been in the 95% to now 150+%. When he came out he was puffy and looked black and the look on Trav's and Cindy's(my ob nurse i've know my whole life...yeah it was awkward at first....i should've shaved! I KNOW OK!) face was priceless! LOL That was the closest to God I've ever been. AMAZING!!!! All those first time fears all seem so long ago. It's like i've had him for forever! I really am surprised he has lived this long. LOL I never thought such a smelly pooper would consume my whole life like he has. I'm a terrible mom because everything he does is so funny. I have a hard time disciplining him because i can't keep a straight face and he knows it! He has been such a HUGE blessing and a tender mercy from a Heavenly Father with a loving but sick sense of humor. Sean has kept my sanity and my self intact and through all the terrible things I have had to endure these past 18 months he's still a loving golden child and reminds me of the simplicity of gratitude and of life. I know that that little spirit was sent here just for me and am eternally grateful and indebted to my Heavenly Father. I lub jew The Sean! Happy Birthday big guy!

I know...i'm a terrible mom!

2008-12-27T18:34:00.001-08:00

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I just had to! Look at his little butt crack! He got a "cycle(as he calls it)" from grandma and popa and after he ran out of the bathroom nekked that's what he hopped up on. there's mor but i'm saving those for his wedding video! lol doesn't it make you laugh?! lol

Here's my little Tiger Woods/Gap Model.....Dang isn't he such a looker?

This is how he was relaxing after church! Serious though! I might make it a home business of making cute babies and selling them on ebay! lol Yeah right! i bet the money's good though, yeah?

Sean's Had a very merry Christmas! lol

2008-12-27T18:09:00.000-08:00

Here are a few pics from christmas. I was lucky enough to have my parents come up. With David on a mission and everyone else spending christmas with in-laws they were on their own. SO since we couldn't come down there they came to us. It was so fun having them and watching Sean slowly explain to popa how the xbox works and that he prefers to watch movies in his room and so what if he likes to change movies 30 times in 10 minutes. Sean's been so patient in training them. hahaha

Here Sean is trying to explain who The Hulk is. My Dad just looks like he needs to be rescued or that his intelligence has just been insulted by a 2yr old! lol

With every present Sean unwrapped he had to "seriously" tear the paper away and then read the back of each thing BEFORE it could be taken out of the packaging.......

SEE!?! Why So Serious Sean? It's just a toy for crying out loud!

He kinda looks annoyed with the whole santa brought me a stocking....

Here is Joshua, Sean, and Jessah at Gina and Blair's poor unfortunate souls dinner! lol It Was a lot of fun filled with singing from all the smart kids and food that was too Delicious. I'm really blessed to have the Smart's in my family! Believe it or not Blair!

Jessah is a good cousin! She as well as her brothers and sister all just are so good to Sean! He LOVES when they get to babysit. Nothing better than 5 kids doing whatever he wants and feeding him candy for dinner.....I'm a little jealous though......Sean said "I love Mriah(Sean for Mariah)" AND he's NEVER said it to ME! In fact that was the first time he's ever said that phrase! Maybe i should feed him candy for dinner! lol I LOVE MY FAMILY!

Fun with the new camera!

2008-12-19T07:37:00.000-08:00

Tell me you don't just love a chunky baby! lol This is Carlos Thiago. He's bethy's baby. at 5 months he's already 19 lbs! We like to call him Choncho! hahahahaha He is such a sweet baby! He kinda looks like Babe Ruth with that baseball hat on.

He is such a happy baby!

Bless you my child! Maybe it's just a baby thing but Sean LOVES to hold Carlito!

This is Sean givin loves. he doesn't kiss but when you say "kisses!" he leans his forehead in for a kiss. That's what he is doing in the above pic.

Look they have the same look on their faces! hahahahaha Thank heaven for babies!

He goes from big kid to BIG BABY!

2008-12-18T12:46:00.000-08:00

Here's a sweet pic! When Sean was about 15 months he woke up from a nap as usual but as if a switch had turned this devil of a child who was once my angel was taking over.....thus the terrible 2s had started. Then about a month ago maybe 2 I got what's in the pic above. I called the terrible bastard 2s! he used to scream when he heard the word no and now he drops quietly like a limp puppet and goes OH! He's not even 2 yet! I'm afraid what will happen Dec 29th for his actual 2nd birthday......lol gotta love it though right? He definately is the spice of life! lol

Sean LOVES Halo! He knows how to shoot, throw grenades, and sometimes walk around. What's really impressive is he knows how to start up ATV on the PS2 and "race" four-wheelers. He does that when know one will set Halo up for him. So for christmas my parents bought him v-tech so he can play learning games and well it's harder to play when you can't read BUT when he opened the v-tech the first thing he said was: "HALO!? HOO! HOO!(that's sean for Woohoo)" So here he is playing Halo. My little gamer! lol He looks effin 6 yrs old with a pacy in his mouth! lol He also knows his dc comics. he is obsessed with Hulk and Superman and Iron man and Spiderman and Batman! LOVES, LOVES, LOVES them! I know i'm raising a mouth breather that's gonna live in my basement for forever! Doen't he look annoyed at me for bothering him during his game? Just like his dad....

what a bunch of misfits!

2008-12-15T12:02:00.001-08:00

Here are some of the family pics we hurriedly took over thanksgiving.... Sean's head looks GINORMOUS! He seriously has the head of an adult elephant! This is our first family photo EVER by the way. I know Sean's almost 2.....i'm terrible.

This was the first time in years that we were all together. All except Juan...can you tell we photoshopped him in? lol hilarious! Poor Juan. you snooz you lose!(he hadn't gotten to cbad yet when we did these....) Look Bethy and Mikey hae the same hair! hahahahahaha anyways laugh with not at! lol

Mom Sense is strong in this one....

2008-12-10T16:04:00.000-08:00

so saturday sean went in for a hair cut. i was growing it out but then i looked around and every little kid has long hair! Yeah sooooooooo original! anyways so we went to chop it off into a high and tight and sean would have none of it. usually he does great but this time he pitched a fit. the lady jacked his hair up nasty! He had long ass hair on top and like a 2 on the sides. TERRIBLE! I though i could do better than that!(Should've known then.Curse that mom sense!)Anyways so i bought a set of clippers and went to work. sean was way good for me too. As i went to buzz the top with a 4 i forgot to extend the clippers thingy and ended up buzzing his whole head! now he looks like a cancer kid! I feel terrible. but every one's got to go through it right? I see mom's who have cut the crap out of their kids hair and thought how could they possible do that to their kids.....now i know. there's a hormone in every mom's head that turns on right at birth that gives you false sense of knowledge in cosmetology. that's jacked up! Seriously I have been humble. i'll never do it again.....unless i forget and do it again which will happen. so why do i bother...

Sean's got Talent!

2008-12-09T10:23:00.000-08:00

Who says farts aren't funny! lol This is what Sean does all day. He is soooo obnoxious! I LOVE IT! hahaha

p.s. sorry it's pixelated. I took it with my phone.

Sean gave me an Owen Wilson Nose for Xmas!

2008-12-05T11:42:00.001-08:00

So Sean was just bouncin off the walls last night and that huge...orange on a tooth pic.....adult sized head so how found my face! He didn't mean too but I wanted to beat him like he did fo sho! Of course I didn't. I couldn't even be mad. I tried real hard but I was just dumb founded that his huge head broke my nose! That Son-of-a-Bitch!
What had happened was:
He jumped on the couch and caught some good air and then land his head on my face/nose. All I heard was a loud crunch....It blacked both my eyes and caused a bit of swelling and i feel like a piece of bone was shoved up in my brain(although maybe i could be like "flowers for algernon" and get genius smarts.) I have the worst head ache! If it gets worse I guess i might need to go to the doctor. Don't worry my nose doesn't look like Owen Wilson's! That was like the first thing i did was check to see if my nose was crooked. Mainly because I didn't want to face Blair and JR at work the next day and have them make fun of me. lol

Anyways Sean's been real cute about it. He roughly grabs my hurty nose and says "momma OW?!" and points to his nose and says the same.
God can be cruel and has a sick sense of humor if not we wouldn't have children. Maybe i'll stop at just one.......

Did I mention Nanny David is going on a Mission?

2008-11-14T15:44:00.000-08:00

I just realized that I hadn't posted that my youngest brother got his mission call. Well Nanny David as we call him (for some reason all the babies just love him and he is so patient with them) is going to Riverside California. Yes it's not foreign BUT he's going to the land of milk and honey if ya know what i mean. This kid has chased what ever girl he can get his hands on and none of 'em would return the gesture and now he is goin where there are hotties and he's got the "untouchable missionary" and surely he'll have them chasing him and the best part is.....HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! hahahahahahaha poor guy. God really does have a sick sense of humor! lol anyways he reports to the MTC Dec. 10. Way to go NANNY DAVE! I am so proud of the brother! Sean adores him and has since he was born. From the moment Sean met David he has been attached. David was the first person he recognized that wasn't me. Peas and Carrots they are! lol

Kristen's baby is finally here!

2008-11-13T09:10:00.001-08:00

Milo Brynlee Mecham was 6lbs 14oz, 19 ½ inches, born at 5:35 pm on 11/11/08 (11 days late!!!)

This a pic Johnny Sent me. So for all you guys...now you know what they can make! lol here she is! She's a cutie that's for sure! Kristen had it a little ruff cuz Milo was butt first and they had to flip the baby to birth her so Kristen is sore but both are happy and healthy! Ok Lindsay you're up! lol

Kristen's Givin The Birth!

2008-11-11T08:06:00.000-08:00

For those of you who know or knew Kristen (Greer) Mecham she's gettin induced as we speak! Supposedly she's having a girl and her name will be Milo. Poor thing is 10 days late! That by far has got to be the worst. the end of pregnancy is hard enough and to have to deal with surpassing your due date has gotta be worse. It seems to me like once you pass the due date that your baby will never come and your stuck peeing every five minutes or when you cough or laugh or breath for the rest of your life! lol I got lucky busting The Sean out 3 weeks early. Although had i made to my due date they would have had to crack me like a walnut. He was 8lbs 7oz and with the world's largest head. they said he would've been 10lbs maybe more had i made it full term. Thank you Jesus for that kind and tender mercy! lol *side note...... Can you believe The Sean's gonna be 2?!?!

Anyways babies are great! I'm excited to see what Kristen and Johnny can make! They will be great parents. Also I'm excited for Lindsay and Todd next month! The whole birthing part isn't all that bad and once that baby comes it's the closest to god any human can get(unless your a prophet). I wanna say it's magical but i didn't realize it until like 3 hours later when i was all alone and after the shock that i had a kid started to settle....Everyday i just love that kid more each second! It tickles me pink to watch him grow and learn and fight and throw fits and tries new things! Awesomeness! YAY for babies and Families!

Calling All Buckners!

2008-11-06T15:01:00.004-08:00

Something to think about....

2008-11-03T08:22:00.000-08:00

We now live in a Nation that has lost ACOUNTABILITY and bordline A-Moral.

God Bless America....right

During this political season let's be reminded of these wise words.
"You cannot strengthen the weak
by weakening the strong.
You cannot help the small men
by tearing down the big men. You cannot help the poor
by destroying the rich.
You cannot lift the wage earner up
by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot keep out of trouble
by spending more than your income.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man
by inciting class hatreds.
You cannot establish security
on barrowed money.
You cannot build character and courage
by taking away man's

2008-10-13T16:30:00.001-07:00

I know this probably gonna haunt Sean, BUT wouldn't it be nice if we all could free ball it like kids? Although now wouldn't be all that fun to look at. The stretch marks, saggy boobies, and that little extra weight that keeps coming back to haunt me might not be so fun. On second thought, nevermind. LOL Isn't that a picture of white trash? I just love that kid more each second!

Sean's trip to the zoo in Albuquerque!

2008-10-13T16:26:00.001-07:00

this is the face Sean made everytime you pointed out an animal...I think he's being a smart ass. I have no idea where he learned that...HONEST!

Doesn't this remind you of that Superdad thing they sell at Deseret?

Sean Loves to feed the ducks!

This is when Sean found out it was time to go go...

Evangelina's Wedding!

2008-10-13T16:18:00.000-07:00

I love this one cuz this is what he does when he's mad. He tells you exactly why he's mad...If I spoke Sean I would know but I don't so we battle...lol

Yeah he's talking to himself.....

He almost looks annoyed....

To Sexy! One Day he'll lose da'Paci!!!

He just adores his Popa. Look Sean's got his ankles crossed! HA!

Look it's an "action" shot...lol

HELP! He's grinding away my sleepy time!

2008-10-10T09:27:00.000-07:00

The Sean started grinding his teeth in his sleep! AAARGH! It wakes me up everytime! I think this is worse than him waking me up every 2hours to feed when he was an infant. *sad moment....i don't have a baby anymore :'( Anyways it hurts my teeth just thinking about it. I read that stress can cause it but I've tried my best to eliminate what could be causing him stress but it doesn't seem to help it. I don't know what to do. I don't want him to grind his little teefies away.....Poor guy....Poor me! lol

Please Vote or Shut your mouth!

If you don't vote this election then you have no right to complain of anything going on in America. If you are on any government program it had better be temporary or I'm coming after you. I'm tired of belly ache-rs that sit on their ignorant ASSes bitching about the War they know nothing about or the Economy driven by media not money. (Actually it is money but only to the benefits of media power houses.)As they collect their welfare checks and free medical care. And so you know We do have universal health care for all you Michael Moore's out there. It's called WIC and AHCCS and CHIP and Medicaid and countless other state and federal programs designed to assist not be taken advantage of; but where people like me are forced to pay out of pocket everything. Such has become the American way. Those Ignorants just cost us $700 Billion. I can see now why soldiers of my this generation are coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan ticked off and disappointed with bad attitudes. I would too if I fought a war, watched my friends die and had to go through all that only to come home to a bunch of fat bellied ungrateful Americans. Way to say thanks to those who have sacrificed for this country: past and present. I'm sure they are all sitting next to Jesus saying" I died for this!?" with tears in their eyes. So Thanks guys for your stupidity and selfishness. Way to reward bad behaviors. So vote even if you think it doesn't make a difference. At least you can say you tried and have bitching rights. Those of you that don't Screw you and shut your mouth!

Thanks for letting me rant.....I'm done. oh and if Osama I mean Obama gets elected I'm burning the flag and moving to Mexico. It really is the end of times and a once great nation should we elect Obama. Sure Mcain isn't that great but at least you know what you get with him...

2008-09-22T20:12:00.000-07:00

This is The Sean trying to break dance. Watch then end! it is effin HILARIOUS! lol He's way to smart me thinks!

So Sean thinks he's a Funny Man!

2008-09-10T10:25:00.000-07:00

Got Sean Bathed and ready for bed but he did not want his shirt on as a shirt. He cried and screamed until i let him dress himself. This is how he wanted to were it. By the way...yes i know it's a white trash tank top and it says"i get my muscles from my dad." OK sheesh!

This is how you sit'nSleep!

2008-09-10T10:20:00.001-07:00

So there I was myspacin away when Sean decided to sit by me and see what I was doin. some time went by and Sean was quiet(which was unusual) and so I looked over at him....this is what I saw. sorry it's with my phone. Sean decided to kill the lcd screen on my camera. Maybe he did it for time like these...lol it makes me laugh everytime I look 'em.

I miss my baby!

2008-08-12T14:18:00.000-07:00

Sorry I don't have any cute pics to show. Sean went to see grandma and papa for a week. I thought I would welcome the break. Not only free of baby but of the bigger baby Travis. Instead I have found myself lonely and bored to tears. I know Travis went down to Carlsbad to help my momma out with some caterings but we all know it was a ploy to get Sean. I swear mom only loves me because I just happend to have given birth to THE Sean. I swear since the day he was born grandma and papa have been slowly winning over The Sean to get rid of me! I'm a person too, ya know! Not just a baby making machine! lol I feel so used!!! Although I've been thinking about making a home business on the ebay selling The Sean replicas. He Really is the COOLEST, CUTEST, not so smart but hopfully that improves, BABY EVER!

tell me he's not perfect...

2008-07-29T21:55:00.000-07:00

This is Sean trying to be funny! hahaha

This is one of my favorites! He fell asleep with his favorite toy. Man I love this kid!!!!!

escape from the heat!!

2008-07-26T18:22:00.000-07:00

Yes I know he has a big head! He loves the water that's for sure!

So I went out and bought one of those body suit life jackets that are an inch shy of camel toe on children. Sacrifice for saftey i guess....

This is why we moved closer to the sun... so we can swim everyday!!!! YAY FOR H2O!!!
He kinda looks like those alien things off of Halo....what?! I mean i have know idea what Halo is...

He's a kickin away!!!!

Anyways this is how we spend our evenings. Sean knows now to run up stairs to grab a swim diaper like a dog runs to get his leash. lol this is how we expell the last of his energy to ensure a good nights sleep. works like a charm....

Here I go again.

2008-07-22T15:10:00.000-07:00

We are now in Phoenix (scottsdale actually)! It is hot as hell here and it never cools down! Seriously. It's 11 o'clock at night and still 108 degrees. I hate it! As for everything else I actually like here. I love my job. Although I miss The Sean all day. School starts in a month and I'm a little nervous on how i'm going to manage my time. But the sacrifice will be worth it in the long run. I just hope it doen't interfere to much with my kiddo. I love my ward and thus life is good.

2008-04-27T18:06:00.000-07:00

sometimes i miss my baby! (3mo)

THE SEAN!

.....and yet i still love that little guy....sean at 9 months.

Us before baby....

for starters...

2008-04-27T17:39:00.000-07:00

Travis and I have been married 2.5 years. We've lived in our home town of Carlsbad New Mexico for the past 2 years. We moved to SLC Utah in August of last year and we stayed with friends until we found a place in Layton which is closer to Trav's job. We have a 16 month old demon child. His name is THE SEAN. I refer to him as THE SEAN because he is THE SEAN! He's a hoot! Sometimes I can't believe god thought I was mature enough to get to have my own demon child. Or he's got a really mean sense of humor....i haven't decided yet. Please don't comment on his gigantic head. I know he has the head of an adult and yes they did crack me like a walnut to get him out! Actually i don't care. just remeber if you comment on mine i'll comment on yours.....and i'll start by saying you have an ugly baby! you have been warned...Anyways life is alright for the moment.
