Broken pipes

Well this is what my house currently looks like. The pipe that broke was the hot water pipe in the hall bathroom. The plumber came out and cut into the wall and he had to run a new pipe thru the copper pipe from the laundry room where the main pipes come into the house all the way to the hall bath. I guess alkaline eats copper pipes and our whole house is plumbed with copper. Yea for old houses. This just pushes me even more to fix things up and when the market gets even better to sell this house and build a brand new one! In my dreams right? The best part is that the plumber is one of my co workers husbands so even though he was here for a good part of the day he only charged us $100, I don't know any other plumber that would have done that for us. Oh the tender mercies we receive!

Potential to ruin a day.

You know when you wake up in the morning and the first thing that happens is you step into a pool of water that it could be a bad day. It could be a very bad day in fact but I am bound and determined to be positive and not let this ruin my day. The plumber will come and tell us what we need to do. It already happened so nothing I can do will change this situation so I am choosing to not let this affect my day ( I might just need an extra large swig). Bring it on Thursday this girl is ready for ya!

The Waddells Visit

The pictures are out if order. I am still learning how to post from my phone. This picture is their last night in Utah!
I just love them all so very much!
Amber and my little guy!

Don't mind my fat pouch or the random foot in the picture. 
Little David loved Danni, he was very intrigued with Danni's facial hair.
The Waddells came to visit after Christmas! I was so beyond excite to see them!
Little keithers! He is six months older than Treyven. 
Danni and little David playing!
We had a great time visiting with the Waddells. I cried when I was leaving moms house the night before they went home. I hate that Amber lives so far away  from me. I told amber she needed to have a life changing event so I would have to come out to see her!

Treat baskets

There are two ward treat baskets going around. The note on the basket says "this little bucket is meant to express, love from a friend who you'll never guess. Just fill it up with goodies from you, and pass it on to someone who you love too." This week we ended up with both of them. Tonight I bought some cookies and left the baskets at two other homes. Then just now I heard a knock on my door and guess what, we got one of the basket back.

Life

I really need to hook my phone up to the computer and take all the pictures off and store them on the computer and I need to blog with all those pictures. Amber and her family came two days after Christmas and they stayed for two weeks. It was so great to see them. I REALLY REALLY miss them! Amber is my favorite sister. We went hiking with them, hung out, played games, went to a movie, had dinner and did lots of visiting. When Amber was leaving I cried like a baby! Who knows when I will get to see her next. David only has eight more classes until he gets his bachelors degree. I can't wait for him to be done with school and to be able to get a better job. I work all the time and when I'm not working I'm ornery at home! I need to just relax! Christy is doing ok in school, at least I think so because whenever i try to ask her about school we fight and I haven't seen any notes from teachers saying otherwise. The boys are growing like weeds. Treyven is getting clearer all the time and I love how he puts sentences together. We are slowing improving the house. It has started warming up outside! Thats all I'm tired.

Baby carriers

Today we stopped using the Graco snug ride baby carrier and changed David to a big boy car seat. The other evening when David and I were out shopping to get Treyven a new seat so David could have his I got kinda sad. I told David that after buying the one we were shopping for we most likely will not have to buy any more car seats for the boys. The one that David sits in now is rear facing and forward facing so for now where he is still little he can sit rear facing and then when he gets bigger he can use the same on for front facing. Then Treyven's that he sits in now will last until he is big enough to sit without a five point harness and then we already have the next size care seat for him that has a removal back so he can sit in that one till he's done with car seats and David will just use them as Treyven goes to the next one. So happy for not having to buy anymore carseats but at the same time sad that David is no longer in the baby carrier. And who knows what the future holds but we might be done forever buying car seats. I was cleaning the boys room today and wondering if I should just go ahead and sell all the baby stuff or hang on to it just in case. It takes a lot of room to store all that stuff. Amber needs to have a baby so I can dump it all on her. Or maybe Crystal will get married in October and get pregnant right away and then I can dump it all on her. I kinda think that it would be nice to have one more and end with a girl in a few years but at the same time I think I could be done and still be happy. I guess it will be up to Heavenly Father and what he knows is best and right for us.
