August 17-23

Sunday 17- Ok sorry I it has been really crazy and I have forgotten to take picutres. Sorry!! Anyway I work Sunday night (this will be the last Sunday for a VERY long time!) But before going into work Brock and I made Pizza for dinner! It was lots of fun to make dinner with Brock. Well he made it himself I just watched!


To add Chesse or to eat Chesse??

Monday 18 nad Tuesday 19- Flew by. Of course Derick and I worked. The kids were at grandpa's. I do have good news. I have switched to days so I will not be tired all the time. I will do a kind of funky schedule so it will be nice. Plus I am going to be doing the front desk and dealing with the docotrs more so it will be less time on my feet. But then again I have to deal with the doctors so I have better learn to put "my big girl panties on." (this is what the nurses say when we have to call one of them at night. For those who work with doctors regularly you know that to get them on a good day is rare! BUT DOCTORS ARE GREAT! Don't get me wrong)

Wednesday 20- The kids and I went to playgroup that morning at the park. I have not been for awhile and it was nice to go again. That night Derick had his softball practice. I thought he said it started at 6:30 but it started at 6 so we made it when they just finished. Which turned out to be great because we then went over to the park and played ball with Brock. Brock is so GOOD!! He hit 10 out of the 15 balls that Derick pitched him. I do wish that he was old enough to join little league. Or to do some sport. It is hard to think that he is only 4. He acts and keeps up with all the 5 and 6 year olds. After it got to dark to play we went and rented movies. Brock and Kayda fell asleep on the way home so mom and dad got to watch all the movies!

Thursday 21- Brock did not have school today. So we stayed home and played bums all day. That night I went to Pinko and Brock got to come with me! I had lots of fun to go out and be with the other mom's!

Friday 22- Brock and mom had gymnastics in the morning. I could not get my video to load. But his coach was out of town and he was the only one that showed up for his class so he got to join me and the girls! We were working on the valut today. Brock was so AWSOME!! I don't get to watch him because I have my own class to coach! It was so nice to watch him. We were doing forward rolls (sumersalts) after running and jumping. Well Brock can do a FRONT FLIP ALL BY HIMSELF!!! I wish I could get that video! Derick is talking about the omplyics now and everything!

Saturday 23- I had a meeting in the morning at work about one of our patients that died at a very young age. It was sad but we all (who took care of him) had to go! It was very educational but long. After that Derick took the kids to grandpa's to put in a new water heater. So I got to have some me time. Then off to work again!

Puppy update!

Kayda has now gone to carrying the puppies around everywhere! They have there eyes open and are starting to play with each other! I like this stage where they can play. They now get moved outside for most of the day due to the fact the momm does not clean up there "messes" anymore!


FYI... Has some problems so there will be no post for last week. But will be posting this week soon!

Sunday August 3 to Satuday 9th

Sunday August 3- I worked the night before and the that night. But Derick's sister came up from PHX so she took us to Golden Dragon for dinner. Before dinner we had family time. here are some pictures that I got.

We must not give Kayda enough to drink... she had to get it straight from the sink...
We had a huge strom that day and we are at the "bottom" of our street. So all the water comes to our yard. So we were flooded. Here Brock is running in the water before we left for dinner.

Dad and Kayda safe under the umbrilla.

Monday 4 and Tuesday 5- Kids went to grandpa's mom slept. Not much happened these days! Derick worked.

Wednesday 6- Mom spent all day getting ready for grandma Sue to come and cousin Jake. Play catch up on housework. We did not go to playgroup, we have missed out a lot but will get back into the swing of things here soon.

Thursday 7 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROCK!! Today Brock turns 4! I can not believe it! Time flies to fast. My mom and cousin Jacob made it into town around 1 in the morning. So when Brock woke up he had friends to play with! I was a mean mom and made him go to school that morning. But with him gone it made it easier to get things ready for the party. I was very tired still so instead of making him a cake like I usually do he got a store bought one... Sorry buddy! Anyway Jacob just loves the puppies he fel asleep with them all on him!

We had Brock's party at Grandpa Coco's house. It is cooler out there and we did what I thought would be a small family party. We had about 17 adults show up and 30 kids. So my small family party turned out big! I am glad that I bought a cake because it all got eaten! Here is Kayda after eating a blur sucker...

Brock was King that day and made all of his cousins pull him around in the wagon all day. It was really cute.

I found this cake.. it is a dog Brock just loved it. So he got his own cake!

Brock was the one to break Spiderman! GO BROCK!!
Kayda tried...
But Spiderman won!

Brock go this boat from Grandma Sue so Brock and Jacob put it in the hot tub that night so they could get in it!!

Friday 8- Mom and Brock had gymnastics. His coach had them all dress up as their favorite superhero. Brock get a spiderman outfit for his birthday so he was Spiderman! Jacob got to do gymnastics with him so it was a pretty fun day.

In the afternoon we went to Out of Africa for his birthday.

Kayda just loved the bears! She kept trying to get closer!

Here our guide is getting kisses from the giraffe... don't know what to think.. it was cool but gross at the same time.

July 28- August 2, 2008

Monday July 28- Well after working Sunday night then Babe having her puppies I really don't remember much due to lack of sleep.

Tuesday July 29- I was able to catch up on sleep after getting off of work that morning. By 2 that afternoon I was rested enough to go to Camp Verde and get my kids and play with the puppies! Kayda and Brock think that these puppies are the best thing ever it is so fun to watch them around the puppies! Kayda then decided that Babe's water dish would make a wonderful hat! She then walked around the house the rest of the night like this!

Wednesday July 30- That morning I woke up and decided to take a pregnancy test. I have not had a period since being pregnant with Brock but I was just not feeling my best so...
It is kinda blurry but it is postive so yup we are going to being welcome Fringer baby number 4 around April \ May... This will be the 3rd one born around this time.

That afternoon we met up with Shantell and Robert and went to lunch at "The Tarven". Brock ordered a salad. Yes that is what he wanted, a salad, he then got chicken fingers. But he had to have a salad. But no fears he is still a man and gets his meat!

Here is Kayda and Shantell just waiting for our food to come.
That night we had to doc the puppies tails. Which means cut them off. I am ok when it comes to humans but I could be nowhere in sight or hearing when the men did this. But for some weird reason you get more money when their tails are short. After that we went home to bed!

Thursday July 31- Today Brock had his preschool. That morning Kayda came in while I was using the bathroom and then decided that she wanted to use the toilet too! So we got out the old potty training one and she has used it ever since. At home she is pretty much potty trained. I still don't believe it so when we go places I put a diaper on. But if I am not careful she will take it off and try to find a toilet. WOW!!! What can I say?!?! I guess Kayda is getting ready for the new baby to come.

That afternoon we had a friends birthday party to go to. We went swimming and had a good time. Then we brought the puppies home! Kayda just loves to lay down and watch them.

Friday August 1- Brock and mom had gymnastics in the morning. That afternoon we got a very bad phone call. The family who was going to be baptized on Saturday 9Derick frist one that he would have done) was just in a motorcycles accident in PHX. The wife was killed and the man is in ICU at John C. Lincoln hospital. This is also the family who's birthday party we were at the day before. We were in charge of telling the son that his mother had just died. This was a very bad day for us. After the horrible news I took the 15 year old son for a drive to just get away. He is doing ok for the most part but what can you say? This is a mixed family so they are all coming together for it. Step sisters and brothers are all very loving and caring. That night we rented movies and games to try and change the atmosphere. Alex the son said this was probley the best thing that we could have done for him. Well as we are watching the movie I look over and see this GAINT spider crawling. We had left the front door open but had the screen door closed. So we do not know how this sucker got in. The spider is the size of Joseph's hand!!Saturday August 2 - Today was an ok day. The family drove down to PHX to see the dad. Since Brock's birthday is on thursday and our week is going to be very busy we went to Wal mart and got his birthday present early! Brock has been saving his money to buy a new Spiderman bike. Well he has done such a good job at saving he had over $56.00 saved up! Brock would get money for doing extra chores and collecting soda cans to rasie money. But on our way to the store Brock had climbed out of his seat to get his glove and fell alseep! Brock can fall asleep in the blink of an eye. And so he had!
