Lately

Lately I have been to tired to even type an sentence, so I am going to try to tell you what has been going on with us lately. Koye finished his swimming lessons, he did, How do I put this, OK, we need to keep going to the pool or anywhere so he keeps up on the things he learned... he loves the moon walk (where they walk on the bottom of the pool as your holding them down) that is probably my favorite thing to do to him!! ha

Imree is crawling around on everything and everywhere... I can't sit on the floor without being crawled on either by her or by Koye trying to copy her (kinda drives me nuts) Imree says Momma and a ton of jabber.. I can't believe she is 8 months old already. Time flies when your having fun!

Cain is working nights Monday thru Thursday and I work nights Friday thru Sunday so needless to say we don't get a lot of time off.. but He doesn't have to much longer with school and who knows how much longer on this night job..

I had this thought the other day when Koye was driving me up the wall and I was getting mad at him for every little thing he was doing.. Well my thought was, why get mad at him for every little thing, what does that teach him? I really need to praise him when he does things right and I need to praise him when he tries his hardest at anything and not get so mad at him because he CAN'T do it. What good does it do for me to keep after him for everything he does wrong but when he does something right, I don't give him any credit at all. Makes no sense at all.. So my goal is I'm going to try my hardest to stay calm and have patience and treat him with respect and praise him when he does things right even when they are a little wrong.

Koye's swimming lessons

Koye, Imree and I stay at home all day long and we get bored.

Koye started to take swimming lessons this morning.. I think he will do well! If anything shed some of his energy!! Wow that boy has some energy! I will keep you updated on the progress of how he is doing!! I love both my kids and their personality!
I am so excited for this, it gets us out of the house for a bit, which is good cause I think by the time Cain is done with this crazy shift we will be going crazy!!!

4th of July

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!! I unfortunately had to work but for a couple hours I got to spend some time with my family out at my sister’s house!! We had a bbq and rode the bikes around, talked, Koye got to play with his cousins and Payson took him for a ride on the little 50!! I decided that the 50 is just my size!! Okay not really but it is so much fun to ride. My dad rode it around, he looked like a clown! It was great, Then I took a ride on the 125 Payson’s new bike. That one for sure is my size!! I was going to put some pictures up but it was an ugly picture.. can we say… GO TO THE GYM WOMAN!!!
Imree had an ear infection and was not feeling well but she was a good sport for most of the day. It was a super fun day eating hot dogs and hamburgers. I am thankful for those who have served to keep our freedom; we are in debt to you all!!
Sorry my blog is so boring I can't figure out how to make it all cute and things!! Someday I will though!!

Koye's super sweet outfits!!

Koye some days will ask me to get his clothes out for him which I'm happy to do other days he wants to do it himself and I let him because he needs to do it by himself, right most kids do. Well, lately he wants to wear shorts but if I'm wearing my boots or if we are going to my parents house, he wants to wear his boots too, plus his shorts! I love it, he cracks me up and I love that he has his own sense of style, so to say!! I had to take a picture to show everyone! Some days it is even worse than this, he will wear his shorts, a long sleeve shirt (that doesn't match) and his boots. BOYS!!

I also had to add a cute little picture of Imree, I love babies faces when they pout. It is just the sweetest look ever. She is a blast but WOW she can get you with that face every time.

Anyway, sorry it has been a while, it has been hard with the job change and trying to get in the swing of things being home during the week and all, I don't know what to do with all this time, if it would ever stop raining I would go to the park or zoo.. somewhere anywhere other than home!!

New Job

I got a new job at Bingham Memorial Hospital as a CNA, I love my job at First American, well I guess I shouldn't say love my job, I should say I love the people I work with. I have worked one 12 hour shift and it was alright, I hope my memory comes back and I can remember things. I also hope that the people on night shift, which I will be working are nicer than the ones that are on day shift!! ha ha.. I have decided that I am going to go there with a good attitude and work hard and learn lots and maybe then I will decide what I want to be when I grow up!! This may sound super retarded.. but since I will be working 3 12 hour shifts, night weekend shifts I might add, I am going to carry a picture of my kids to remind me why I am working this crazy schedule!! Wish me luck in my endeavour!!

Cain, started to work for Nash Electric about 3 weeks ago, and they do a lot of work out at that site which is nice because he is home every night!!! He likes it and hopefully he will get his clearance so that when he turns out he can go work out there. I don't really know what his thoughts are on that, I guess he will have to decide sometime soon!!

Pre-School Graduation

On May 14th Koye Graduated from preschool... well for this year he still has two more years of preschool left. Yep he is going to be a pro at preschool. He was so funny, he loves his teacher, Mrs Hansen, she was great and such a wonderful teacher for these little kids. Throughout the year I saw a big change in Koye, he knows how to spell his name out loud not quite yet on paper but he is still learning, that is my goal to work hard to get him to write it. He knows his alphabet and can count to I think 12 then he kinda skips around but can count by 10's to 100. He was in a class with only two girls and they were two of the cutest girls ever. During graduation they did the pledge of allegiance, did some nursery rhymes, counted, sang a song about the alphabet. It was super fun to be apart of. Koye's cousin Dylan is in his class and I'm pretty sure they had a blast together!

Star Valley

For Mother's Day I asked Cain if we could go for a drive. We went to Idaho Falls through Alpine, Thayne and Palisades and ended up in Afton. Honestly I know this may sound crazy, but I loved it I would live there in a heart beat right up against the mountains so I could take my horses out anytime. I love the area it was beautiful. The drive was fun I was singing (and I cannot sing worth crap) and Koye was singing into the water bottle and Imree well she pretty much slept the whole time!! Cain was probably just annoyed!! HEHE.. We came home through Henry and passed Soda Sprins, Lava and Poky.. It was just a day trip, but I could go on one of those every weekend!! Koye got a little antsy to get out off the car so we stopped of the road and let him run around in a driveway.. but their ranch was so far off the road they will never know.. In Afton there is an arch that goes over the road with Elk Horns, that was a lot of horns and to remake something like that the board said it would cost over 300,000.00 it was pretty cool, well I thought so.
