Hi from the Foy family!

Hair Cuts and Buffalo wings

2012-01-20T18:46:00.001-08:00

Jeremy took us out to dinner tonight! (first time in a long time!) Man it was a good place to eat! Has to be my 2nd or 3rd favorite place!

Casaya LOVES buffalo wings! She is the pickiest eater ever and she at all 6 of the wings! it was a huge shock to us! So now when she refuses to eat we can take her to get wings!

Ashley decided to cut her hair and Casayas hair yesterday! I was so mad!!! So we took the girls to cookie cutters today to try and fix their hair! They tried to fix Casayas but there was not a whole lot they could do to it, so they trimmed up the back and cut one side a little shorter. Hopefuly her hair will grow out fast so we can get both sides to match!
Ash after her hair was cut

Before and after shots of Ashleys hair cut! Last time she cut her hair we told her that if she did it again we would cut it short (she wants really long hair like Repunzel so we thought this would be a good punishment) Well after we got her hair cut Ashley took a look in the mirror and said "Mommy I look just like Repunzel!" (the last part of the movie where Ryder cuts her hair so the evil mom cant use her any more) Well crap!! There went my idea of a punishment! So I told her that if she cuts her hair again we will shave her bald. She did not like that so keeping our fingers, toes, hair, eye balls, and any thing else we can cross, crossed, that she will not cut her hair again!!!

IF YOU GIVE A MOM A MUFFIN

2012-01-07T15:57:00.000-08:00

"If you give a mom a muffin, she'll want a cup of cocoa to go with it. She'll pour herself some. Her three-year-old will spill the cocoa. She'll wipe it up. Wiping the floor, she will find dirty socks. She'll remember she has to do laundry. When she puts the laundry in the washer, she'll trip ove...r boots and bump into ......the freezer. Bumping into the freezer will remind her... she has to plan supper. She will get out a pound of hamburger. She'll look for her cookbook. (101 Things To Make With A Pound Of Hamburger.) The cookbook is sitting under a pile of mail. She will see the phone bill, which is due tomorrow. She will look for her checkbook. The checkbook is in her purse that is being dumped out by her two-year-old. She'll smell something funny. She'll change the two-year-old. While she is changing the two-year-old the phone will ring. Her five-year-old will answer and hang up. She'll remember that she wants to phone a friend to come for cocoa. Thinking of cocoa will remind her that she was going to have a cup. She will pour herself some. And chances are, if she has a cup of cocoa, her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it." by Kathy Fictorie

Happy Birthday Ashley!

2011-12-20T20:27:00.000-08:00

Ashley turned 5 today!!!! I cant believe she is that old! Did I not just have her yesterday?!?! She has grown so much this year! She went from being my little Ashley to my big girl Ashley. She loves to help take care of her sister, that includes changing diapers (with moms help of course), she likes to bathe her, dress her, do her hair. She is a great big sister. This year she developed an attitude, (if she is any thing like her mom was HEAVEN HELP US ALL) so we are trying to put a stop to that one as fast as possible. She is very smart for her age and has a memory like you cant believe! (she still will tell us stories about something that happened when she was 1 1/2! Her favorite thing this year were, Strawberry shortcake, Rapunzel and Princess and the frog. She loves to sing songs and she can probly sing almost all of the Christmas songs by memory. Her favorite holidays this year are Halloween and Christmas! Its amazing, she was only 4 and she all ready has a testimony of the church. She also can recognize that all people are equal (we were watching the help and she wanted to know why they weren't treating the lady's very nice. So I explained to her the best I could and she said " they should treat her nice, heavenly father loves her and so do I") what a sweet heart! She has the biggest heart of any one I know!
I love you so much Ashley! Thank you for letting me be your mom!!! I cant wait to see what you do this next year! I love you!

Evil Santa?

2011-12-15T22:18:00.001-08:00

Christmas activities!

2011-12-08T21:47:00.000-08:00

Jeremy and I at the Conference center waiting for the First Presidency Christmas Devotional!
The Fist presidency up on the stand with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir! What an awesome night! I was so grateful for the opportunity to listen to our Prophet and be in the same room as him! He is such a cute man! One thing I learned about Christmas, it is very rarely ever perfect, but most of all I learned not to burn down the curtains! (Thanks Dieter Ukdorf!) If you missed the devotional look it up! It was great!
Jeremy and his parents out side of the Confrence Center, they were able to go with us, and so was Jeremys brother Josh and his wife. Thanks to my mom she stayed home with the kids!!!
This is a pic of Casaya, we love it when she makes this face and this is the first time we were able to get a pic of it! They arnt the best pics but you can see how cute she was when she makes the face!

We were given a great opportunity to go to Thanksgiving Point as a family to see the lights! We had a blast! It was so cold but definitely worth the cold to see the lights from the wagon ride! I loved it and so did the kids! Casaya got scared right at the first when we started moving, (I think the part that scared her is the horses moved, and she was not expecting that) But we had a blast! I wish I could have gotten better pics but all of mine came out blurry!
Jeremy and the girls in front of a snow flake ice skuplture.
Sorry out of order, This is Jeremy and I out side of the Conference Center.
Casaya looking at Santas reindeer for the first time!
Love my pretty girl! She is growing up so fast!
I love the love that goes on between these two! This is the first pic that I have gotten of Casaya hugging Ashley! LOVE it!!!
Ash in front of a really pretty Christmas Tree at Thanksgiving point!
Two of Santas reindeer came to visit us from the North Pole! We would like to introduce you to Comet and Cupid! They are a lot smaller then I thought they would be! I was expecting something bigger like a moose, But they are about as big as a miniature horse!!! (Maybe even smaller the that) Its a wonder that they can even pull Santa and all of the presents!

Christmas arrived in Eagle Mountain!

2011-12-03T10:27:00.000-08:00

Ashleys two favorite things in the world! Santa Clause and Fire trucks!!!
This is how Santa comes to Eagle Mountain! Forget the sleigh, who need it when you got a FIRE TRUCK!!! This is Ashleys favorite day of the year! Its what she talks about all year long!
Ashley waiting in line to see Santa! She is talking with the "Princesses" She was in paradise to have both in the same night!
Ashley, Santa, Mrs. Clause, and Casaya, in the Eagle Mountain City Hall! Every year they have a tree lighting ceremony and Santa comes to help turn on the lights, then he visits with all of the children!
"When I grow up I am going to be a fire girl" When Ashley was 2 we went to my moms school to help her. Well it happened that on the day we went They were going on a field trip to the fire station. So we tagged along with them. Well that sparked a little fire in Ashley's heart. Now she LOVES fire trucks. She gets so excited just seeing one and when she hears one WATCH OUT, she may just be screeching louder then the truck!

A Christmas poem!

2011-11-11T22:40:00.001-08:00

Twas the Month before Christmas

Twas the month before Christmas

When all through our land,

Not a Christian was praying

Nor taking a stand.

See the PC Police had taken away

The reason for Christmas - no one could say.

The children were told by their schools not to sing

About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.

It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say

December 25th is just a ' Holiday'.

Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit

Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!

CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod

Something was changing, something quite odd!

Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa

In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.

As Targets were hanging their trees upside down

At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.

At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears

You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.

Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-is-ty

Are words that were used to intimidate me.

Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen

On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!

At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter

To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.

And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith

Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace

The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded

The reason for the season, stopped before it started.

So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'

Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.

Choose your words carefully, choose what you say

Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS,

Not Happy Holiday!

Please, all Christians join together and

Wish everyone you meet

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christ is The Reason' for the Christ-mas Season!

Sorry I am a horrible poster but here is some things we have been doing!

2011-11-05T10:54:00.000-07:00

Josh's retirement cake! I love looking at the pic in the back ground! How much he has changed and how much he has staid the same!

Josh posing with one of his gifts one of his Navy friends gave him.

Josh and his commander (I think)

Josh retired from the Navy after 20 years of hard work and service! I am so proud of him! Even though I did not know him for the first 12 years in was in the Navy, I am still very proud of him. I look up to him. Its amazing the love he has for his country! I am also very happy for his wife Diana and their sons! It will be so nice for them to have their husband/father, all of the time!

Thank you Josh for your service! I cant tell you how much it means to me that you were willing to go out and protect our country and all of the people in it! I am so glad to have you guys home now! I hope to hear for years to come about your different adventures while serving in the Navy! I LOVE YOU JOSH! Thank you once again!

Jeremy went to Spain to see Josh retire from the Navy. This is just a few pics but later I will let Jeremy do his very first blog about Spain and what he saw and his experiences!

Chena!

2011-08-22T00:44:00.000-07:00

This is the newest member of the Foy family! Her name is Chena! She is a pure breed American Eskimo. She is also a service dog. She is afraid of every thing! But the thing she does the best is cuddle! Her name came from a place in Alaska (where she was born) called Chena Hot Springs in Fairbanks Alaska. The night she was born there was the northern lights, so they decided to call her after the place where you could see the northern lights the best!
I love how it looks like she is always smiling!

Close up of the pic below! The ant is carrying the marshmallow!
More detail work done on the float!
Some of the detail work on the float done by my old stake!
My old stake made this float! I love it! It was so cool! (and no I am not just saying that for it was my old stake that made it, I really truly do think that it was the best one in the parade! I liked it before I even knew it way done by my old stake)
Ash loved that the bear was riding a bike!

Ashleys favorite float in the Parade! She came over crying to me after and I could not figure out why. Once I got her to stop crying she told me " Ariel did not wave to me!" Poor little Ash!
I wish he would have been on our side of the car so I could get a better pic of him! But it was so cool to see him and his wife at the parade! (It was so cool to see how much security that was around him and the armored car!)
I love this! the Missionary's at the parade! There was a protester later on in the parade, we saw him making a big fuss and being noisy. Then next thing we knew he was quietly talking to the missionary. The after he talked to them he took down his sign and left!
Went to the parade with my in laws! We had such a blast!
My Sister in law Diana. She loves bees and so she wanted her pic takin by this bee hive!
Casaya refused to go to sleep! She was up for almost 18 hours! She did not want to sleep through the night while we were waiting on the street for the parade to start. I had to go and grab something out of our bag, so I put her on the chair. When I turn around not even a minute later this is what I found! Poor girl!

Casaya sleeping! (finally!)
Ashley sleeping! I was just uploading these pics I did not relize they both slept the same way until now! HEHE funny little girls!

I have not posted pics in a while so I decided now is as good of time as any. Before the pics get backed up.
Ashley sleeping, I have not taken a pic of her sleeping in a few years so I thought I would take one of her now. I used to take her pic all the time when she was sleeping but unfortunately I haven't had time to do that, and with two kids, when they go to bed I go to bed!
Casaya sleeping on her pillow pet, I thought this pic was so cute!
Casayas first fat lip, she thought so could walk from the toilet to the bathtub, well she miss judged the distance and hit her lip on the bathtub.
I love this pic! She looks like my little glamor girl!
This pic makes me laugh, for she was helping me fold the laundry and even though you cant see her face her hand tells it all, like "well what am I supposed to do with this"
Casaya helping mommy!
Casaya thinks this is how we fold clothes, she has to eat them all first!

2011-01-02T18:24:00.000-08:00

Jeremys co workers took us out to eat at Texas Road House for his birthday! (that is my favorite place in the whole world!) So we had them sing Happy Birthday to Jeremy and when they did he had to sit on the saddle!! I know its not the best pic of him but hey at least we have a pic!

This is what Jeremy and I had to eat, well Jeremys stake did not have onions on it.

Tripple Birthday Bash

2011-01-02T18:14:00.000-08:00

(Sorry these are not in order to tired to try and put them in the right order) Casaya decided she had enough partying and passed out.
Ashley and Casaya both opening their presents.
Casayas first taste of Birthday Cake.
This was my first attemted at making a cute cake. It is supposed to be a LadyBug. But I had no red frosting or black frosting so I had to make a pink lady bug with m and ms for the spots.
Casayas cake is the pink lady bug, Ashleys cake was strawberry with chocolate frosting and Jeremys cake was German chocolate, with the home made frosting! Thank you mommy for making that for Jeremy!

I wish I would have gotten more pictures of that day but I was in so much pain I had a hard time even leaving the chair.

Eagle Mountain Tree lighting ceremony.

2011-01-02T18:04:00.000-08:00

We went to Eagle Mountain Citys tree lighting ceremony. It was pretty nice, there was the cutest little girl who sang one of the songs from The Poloar Express. She was four and did a great job! Then Ms Eagle Mountain stood up to sing a song (I dont remember which one) and she completly botched it! It was retarded. But Ashley still had a blast. Then after they lit the tress Santa rode in to Eagle Mountain on a fire truck, then all of the kids got to go and sit on Santas lap.
Ashley telling Santa what toys she wants, "Santa, I want toys and a repunzel game"
Casayas first time meeting the jolly old man.

Jeremys and Ashleys present

2011-01-02T17:58:00.000-08:00

For Jeremy and Ashleys Birthday, I gave them tickets to go to a Jazz game. It was Ashleys very first game. I thought it would be fun to have the biggest sports fan take his daughter to her very first game., I think he had a great daddy/daughter night!

Ashley when she was telling me about this picture, she said "Mommy I want to be a news dancer" (the nu skin dancers)
Ashley had a blast and she cant wait until she gets to go back to another game!

Thanksgiving

2011-01-02T17:34:00.000-08:00

Sorry we did not get any pics for Thanksgiving. So here are a few cute pics from the Thanksgiving dinner. We had a very good day, we went to my moms house for lunch then we went to Jeremys parents house and had dinner with his family. Very busy day and very fun!

2010-11-05T09:45:00.000-07:00

5 years!

2010-10-18T19:00:00.000-07:00

Jeremy and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary this year! Boy the time sure has gone by fast! We had a blast. My Aunt Gina took the girls over night, so we could go out. We went to up to Murray to got to The Olive Garden and went to the mall, It is a tradition that we do every year on our anniversary. After we went there, Jeremy surprised me by taking me to were we went on our honeymoon! We went to castle creek inn! I love it there! It is one of my favorite places in the world! Not only do they have cool rooms and tubs, but they also have this gorgouse yard out back , with a lot of trees flowers waterfalls and ponds with fish in them! I have posted a few of the pics! Hope you enjoy!

Happy 5 years honey! Here is to many many more years! I love you so much!
Thank you for being the best husband ever! I love you!

Circus parade

2010-10-18T18:13:00.000-07:00

Ashley, Seby, and Rylee
Ashley Casaya and I went to the Circus parade with our play group. We had a ton of fun. The prade was maybe 5 minutes long. But we had a blast hanging out with our friends that we dont get to see very often. I miss living up there by them some times. I miss hanging out with them! But I know we are supposed to be down here in Eagle Mountain. We love our play group!

Updates by photos

2010-09-18T21:02:00.000-07:00

I am posting photos of what we have been up to lately. They are backwords and out of order, sorry I am not sure how to fix that. I click on them to up load and then blogger puts them in backwards, not sure how not to have them do that. Oh well So here it is!

THE FAIR
Casaya at the fair, she loved to watch all the people walking by, never heard a peep out of her the whole time we were there.
Ashley rode the ponys again this year. She LOVES to ride the horses! I think she will be my little rodeo queen!

We told Ashley we were going to see baby pigs and she wanted to take them home with her until after we got by them she looked in and she goes "Mommy they are way to stinky to take home"

Ashley went to the little farm at the fair, She loved riding the bike traktor. She got on and said I know how to ride this.
Ashley, Casaya, and I at the fair.
We saw the cutest little seal there. I love seals, I wish we were there during the show but we just missed two of them they had one right before we got there and the other just as we were leaving so unfortunatly we did not get to stay and watch!
BEAR LAKE-LABOR DAY WEEKEND
We went to Bear lake for Labor day weekend. Please remember that the pictures are backward and out of order!

My grandparents have been together for 57 years now and they still love each other just as much if not more!

This is Kathy, she is my adopted aunt! She is one of the coolest people to talk to. I wish she and and aunt Susan lived closer to us so we could see them more then once a year!
My aunt Janette insited that they get a picture of all of her family while every one is in town. So here is my grandparents and their 8 kids. From left to right, or youngest to oldest: David, Daren Shelly, Sheri, Grandpa, Grandma, Janette, Gina, Diane(my mom), and Susan.
Casaya chillen on my mom while they were watching the pavers get put down.
Tim was a maniac! He carried 10 or 12 of these at once! Wow, he maybe skiny but he is strong!
Grandma and Grandpa laying the first paver.

My relatives smoothing down the sand before we put down the pavers.

The pile of sand
8 tons of paver! My grandpa was going to have my cousin Ryan bring them up to the cabin but my grandpa did not realize that for all the pavers it was going to be 8 tons of them!
Casaya fell asleep after eating one night! So cute!
Jeremy and Casaya chillen at THE PIE
We went to THE PIE for my fathers birthday party.
When ever Casaya eats she ends up wearing more of it then she eats, she does not like baby food at all so it is a huge tug of war to get her to eat it!
Casaya loves sleeping next to her bunny!

Sorry it took me so long to post what we have been up to, but unfortunatly I have not had a whole lot of time. Having two kids will do that to you! I hope all is well with you out there! Will try to do a better job of keeping you updated!

PLEASE REMEMBER!

CASAYA

2010-08-07T22:59:00.000-07:00

She is growing up so fast in the past couple of weeks!

- As of two days ago she is MOBILE! She does not know how to crawl but she rolls every where she wants to go! You put her in one spot and the next min she is rolling to another spot!

- On the same day she figured out how to roll she also figured out how to grow a tooth! She has been really cranky and drolly for the past few weeks, and now that the tooth has come out she is one of the happiest baby again!

-She got her first sun burn yesterday! We had her out swimming for a half an hour before we brought her in, (she is allergic to sunscreen like her sister) So we knew we could not have her out for two long, well a half an hour was just long enough for her to get fried! We all did except for Ash. I am so sore that I can not move my arms or any thing.

We are still on our vacation with Josh and his family, once they fly out on Tuesday I will try and post more on Wednesday or Thursday!

April

2010-08-07T22:58:00.001-07:00

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! You made my life a whole lot easier! THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Josh and Diana in town first few days

2010-08-04T01:11:00.001-07:00

Jeremys brother Josh and his family came into town from Spain! They are only here for a short while before they go back. Josh is in the Navy and he is stationed over there! So while they are here we are trying to spend as much time as we can with them for the next time we will see them will be when we fly out to Spain to see him retire! So I know the pics are not in order as things happened, but I have not had time to organize them. And I am sorry they dont have captions on them, but for what ever reason I try to load them, they come up with the code so I cant see what pics they are! Does any one know how to fix this?

A few things that we have done so far while they were here is have a birthday party for Josh! That was fun. Go to Murray park, to feed the ducks, but the lake is almost all dried up so we just waded in the water instead. We went to Thanksgiving Point, for $2.00 Tuesday. Thats all that we have done so far, I know we have on our list to go to Lagoon or Cow a bunga bay tomorrow. Then I am not sure what else for the rest of the week. But I will take a lot more pics and I promise to up date the blog when every thing is said and done!

Count Downs!

2010-07-29T23:59:00.000-07:00

I am so excited! I can not wait! Over the past few years I have started to really love fall and Halloween, I think its mainly because I get to dress up the girls and take them out. Nothing like stepping on the crunchy leaves while going trick-or-treating. I am not really looking forward to Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to the day after thanksgiving. I love BLACK FRIDAY! I love sitting down with the adds planning where I am going. I have to shop for three birthdays and Christmas! Jeremy's birthday is the 16th, Ashley's is the 20th, then Casaya's is the 28th! Lots to do this year! And then there is Christmas. I am not much about the holiday as I am about the spirit of the holiday, I love all the Christmas movies. And I REALLY love the music! That is my fav part of the season! PLEASE HOLIDAYS HURRY UP AND GET HERE! I AM MISSING YOU!

Casaya

2010-07-23T17:42:00.001-07:00

Casaya has figured out how to scoot on her back so she has been scooting every were! This is her favorite spot to scoot to, under the bed! I have pulled her out of there at least five times today!

Fourth of July!

2010-07-15T13:14:00.000-07:00

One of our family traditions is to have a prade. All the kids ride on a trailer pulled by the lawn mower, then they all get dressed up and throw candy at the adults who are all lined up to watch them go around and around on the tractor!

Casaya snuggling with my cousin Stephanie! Casaya loves Stephanie and will almost always go to sleep for her. Man I wish she would do that for me!

We went to the lake and it was ice cold. But we had a grand time any ways! Jeremy built a really cool sand castle, the people next to us kept on looking at it, then when we went to eat lunch, they came and took a pic of it! Made Jeremy feel great about what he had done. My cousins husband Tim is very talented at making stuff. This year he made a truck out of sand! It looked so cool! Casaya did not like the water at all! She sat in it for about two minutes then she was done! So she snuggled with grandma the rest of the time.

Part of our fourth of July tradition is we run races, Have a parade, look for money in the saw dust. I came in last, of course I did I always do. Ashley actuly got to run this year, She was old enough that she wanted to. They divied us up into age groups. Jeremy is in the same group as my aunt and uncle, unfortunatly I dont think they got the gist of the game!

Mommys little Fire Cracker!

My lenze to my camera did not open all the way but I got this cool looking pic of Casaya out of it!

Jeremy and I watching fireworks!

We made patriotic cup cakes and this is Ash making hers!

Every Year for the 4th of July my family has a themed dinner, this year it was Indian tacos, so we all made indian hats.

HAPPY LATE 4TH OF JULY!

2010-07-09T22:43:00.000-07:00

Happy Late 4th of July!
I will be posting as soon as I find my camera! I know it came home from the cabin, but I cant find out were I packed it, it might be in the car still. So I promise I will post as soon as I find it!

Hi

2010-07-09T00:35:00.000-07:00

I just made a new blog. Yes I will keep on posting on this blog, this will still be our blog for all of our family stuff, but my new blog is about my weight loss. I am going to try and document how I feel and stuff like that on my new one. I will also be posting my weight. So if you are going to look at it and laugh at me please dont read it. But if you want to encourage me, Please read it and leave comments with suggestions and praise! This is for me. It is so I can keep track of what I am doing right and what I am doing wrong.

6 months old!

2010-06-28T21:57:00.000-07:00

Casaya is now 6 months old! Its so hard to believe that it was six months ago, I was close to having a stroke, while pregnant with her! Then the Drs telling me I had a half an hour to get my husband there so they can do an emergency c section to get her out! Our little four pounder is now an eleven pounder! She seems so big and heavy to me, but in reality she is the size of an average two month old! She now is some what eating cereal, it does not agree with her very well but the dr told us that we have to fatten her up! She is also a tummy sleeper, once she figured out how to roll over, she has been sleeping on her tummy. Funny little girl. We had to move her from her bassinet to her crib for she was getting to stress with trying to roll over and not having the space to do it in! She loves rolling from her back to her tummy and back again, she also loves to try and scoot her self around on her back! I love you Casaya! Thank you for bringing so much stress and so much joy in our lifes! We can not see our family with out you in it now! We love you! Love Mommy and Daddy!

This is how i will be doing my christmas shoping this year!

4 NEW BLOGS!

2010-06-03T00:05:00.000-07:00

Hey I have 4 new blogs! Go and check them out! I am sorry to give them to you all at once. But life seems to happen that way a lot. You wont do any thing for a while, then all of a sudden you get hit with then different things at once! So here is what we have been up to lately.

Does my little girl have to grow up so fast?

2010-06-02T23:47:00.000-07:00

We went to the Dr today for Casayas four month check up and for Ashleys 3 year check up. Ashley now weighs 35 pounds which puts her into the 77th percentile for weight. She is also 38 inches high which puts her into the 57th percentile for height.

Casaya now weighs 11 pounds 4 oz which puts her in the 1st percentile for weight. She is 24 inches long which puts her at the 4th percentile for height. Then I dont know how many inches her head is but her head size is in the 44th percentile. So the dr said she is very little with a big head! He also said we needed to "fatten her up" So he told us to put her on rice cereal. Normally babes are not supposed to have it until they are at least six months old. But she is now five months old, but if we go by her adjusted age she is only 3 1/2 months old. Which is to young for cereal but he wants her to get big and chubby. So we gave her some rice cereal today when we got home. She did a lot better with it then her sister did. When we first introduced cereal to Ashley she screamed her head off. But Casaya just kind of sat there and could not figure out what in the world she was supposed to do with the stuff. She did pretty good at eating it, granted most of it still came out all over her, but at least she did not scream!

Bear lake for Memorial day

2010-06-02T18:56:00.001-07:00

We went to Bear Lake for Memorial Day weekend. We had fun, we were sad that it was to rainy and cold to go to the beach. But we still had a blast. Here is a few things that we did this weekend. And thank you Grandma and Grandpa for giving us a place were we could all come to spend time as a family! I know these are memories that my family and I will all ways be able to cherish!

"My favorite scene is standing on my front porch looking in" I know those are some lyrics to a country song, they may not be the exact words but they describe this pic. Kayia, Ashley and Dan all sitting on little chairs looking out on the back yard. I saw that and I had to take a pic. For the words are very true, the best things in the world are not what happens out side, but what happens in side the house as a family.

Casaya and her buddy Amiah!

Casaya and her Great Grandma and Granpa Orth.

Ashley and her Great Grandma Orth watching the tree being planted.

We planted a tree up at our cabin in memory of my uncle Jere, who passed away a few weeks ago. We are hoping that we can look at this tree and remember who he was, and how much we loved him.

Ashley having fun with the cousins while jumping on the tramp, or as Ashley calls it "the Jumpoline"

Casaya just chillin at the cabin, I love her great big eyes!

While we were at bear lake for Memorial day my grandpa had a new garage put in, i feel bad for I did not get a picture of the completed garage. But at least you can part way see what it is going to look like

Peanuts birthday party

2010-06-02T18:16:00.000-07:00

Peanut turned one on May 27th! We love our dog! She may be very stuborn but we still lover her. I wanted to try and be creative so I tried it make her a cake in the shape of a bone. Did not turn out very well but hey at least I tried. And the last pic is of Ash reading to Casaya! So cute! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEANUT!

My ramblings

2010-06-02T00:10:00.000-07:00

This is a blog about a lot of stuff on my mind. You do not have to read it if you don't want to. I just need a place to compile my thoughts. I am not looking to start any fights or arguments. This is just simply how I see things and how I feel about things. So like I said you don't have to read it if you don't want to!

I just got back from Bear Lake which I had fun at it was great to get out of the house, and to have people help watch my kids so I could rest and take it easy for a few days. But while I was up there I started to do a lot of thinking (like I said this is just how I feel about some things and what I observe)

-Why am I so diffrent from my family? They have a lot of things that I wish I could have, ex:
-They all for the most part seem to be geniuses. While I do not have the brains at all to do any type of schooling. I feel dumb for there are occasions where I have to help my neighbor kids with there home work, and a majority of the time I have no idea what is going on, how to do there math, the correct punctuation for there English. I wish I had the brains to go back to school to try and earn a degree in something that I really want to do. But I went once and I felt so dumb, while I was in that class, I quit and never went back. For I seriously felt like I had to go into special ed just to even try to understand it. And I really hated feeling like that.
-How come they all are so skinny and can eat any thing, and not gain an ounce. While I look at food and I gain ten pounds. I would love to be able to go on hikes with them again, and not feel like a big fat person who needs help along the way. That was so embarrassing when I went a few years ago, and my cousins and I went on a hike, and I was trying my hardest to keep up but I eventually had to sit down for I was ready to pass out. I felt so bad for some of my cousins had to wait for me while the rest of them took off. I want to be able to go on hikes, or to go geo-cashing. I want to be able to do every thing that they do. But because of who I am, and the size that I am it prevents me from being able to do what I want to do. So you are probably saying well why don't you excersize you fat girl. I have and I still do. I go for walks every day. And when it is to cold or to hot out side I go up and down my stairs (If you have ever been to my house, you know I have a HUGE set of stairs)
- A lot of my cousins seem to be a lot more in to the church then I am. Which I wish was not true but it is. They will wear there church clothes the whole day on Sunday, I used to do that but then I realized just how much I hate skirts and dresses, so that is out. While we are at our cabin, they will stay for all of church and not skip out like the rest of us after Sacrament. They don't watch cert-en shows on Sunday for they don't watch movies on Sunday that don't have any thing to do with the church. I noticed when we would say family prayers at night, many of my family members would kneel down to pray. Which I would love to start doing with my family. Right now we don't include Ash in our night time prayers. We just throw her into bed and get our self's ready for bed. Then Jeremy and I will say our night time prayers together. Which is a good start, but it is still not all as a family. And I sometimes wonder if we are screwing Ashley up by not including her.
- We don't have family home evening which is another thing that I want to do with my family, and we have not really done yet for Jeremy works so many hours, that when he does have a day off we are usually running errands and catching up on things, that we rarely have time to sit down and have FHE. Once again are we screwing Ashley up to much
- (once again my observation) Every time I am around my grandma I seem to say or do something wrong. I have no idea why, but I sometimes feel like I am being judged extra hard by her, like I could never live up to her standards. Which I probably cant, but all I can do is be me. I love her a lot and would never do any thing to make her mad at me on purpose, but it seems like I always do on accident.
- My family seems to be very, oh how do you describe it, fix it wise. Which I am not. I so times wonder if they ever sat down and taught me would I be able to help build a garage or shelf, would I be able to help fix a roof. I am sure I would be able to if some one taught me. But as of right now all I can do is sit back and go wow they are smart for they know how to do that!
- Another way that I am not like my family, is I believe in being true to who I am. I used to try to pretend that I am a Molly Mormon, I was smart and a hole bunch of other things. But then I realized that I was not being true to who I am. Granted I did jump off the scale for I have more then one hole in each ear, before I went to the temple I would wear sleeveless shirts and tank tops. When I was younger I used to swear,(which I am very glad I broke that habit) I do believe in the church but there are somethings that I will do on Sundays like wear my pants and watch movies.But that does not make me a bad person. Neither does having my ears pierced three times in each ear. I also drink coca cola but that does not make me a bad person either. It just makes me different. And as much as I want to be like my family, I also want to stick out in some ways. I like being true to me, and that's all I can do and if I happen to make some people mad at me along the way for it so be it. But I am me and nothing can change that.
- I need to learn how to become a better wife. My poor husband ended up getting stuck with a wife who does not know how to clean and does not know how to cook. I try my best, but our house always seems to be messy. I can partway do laundry, but I will either get it into the washer then forget to put it in the dryer, and if by some miracle it does make it into the dryer it usually does not make it out of the dryer. I can never seem to get all the kids clothes put away. I have the hardest time trying to stay organized. In my brain it seems easy, you just have to put every thing in its spot but then for some reason I have the hardest time actually doing that. I never have learned how to do the spot cleaning or vacuuming. When I was growing up there was no need to clean for I had a dad who would do all the cleaning in the house, so I never learned and I grew up not realizing how important it is. I have a sister in law, whose house is so clean, I don't think you could find one speck of dust in her place or one thing out of place. She has four young kids. I have no idea how she does it I know she is always cleaning. And I wish I could do that but I do something once and I expect it to stay clean, but then it seems to get messed up so fast that I just get so mad at it I refuse to do it again for a while. I know that is stupid and childish, but I cant seem to get out of the frame of mind. Like I will sweep the floor, then the next day I see it needs to be swept again, and it drives me nuts for I feel like I just swept it it should be clean still! As far as the cooking I know how to make three or four things, but they are kind of expensive to make, so we don't get them very often. And I am not very good at putting odds and ends together to make a full and healthy meal. So unfortunately a lot of the time we have Ramon, sandwiches, cacadillas, simple easy food like that. I wish I was a better cook, but that was something I never learned how to do as well.
-I some times feel like I really don't have a group to fit in with in my family. I don't know why, it may be because I am so different, or we just don't have very much in common. But I would like to thank my uncles and aunts who let me tag along this weekend while they went and got some ice cream. I know I was the third wheel, but it made me feel like I was some one. SO thank you for letting me tag along David, Ada, Sheri and Michael!

So out of all of that I know I kind of complained a lot about my self, but I was trying to include some good points in there. I cant complain to much about my life for I have the best job in the world a job that I have wanted my whole life, to be a stay at home wife and mother. There are just parts of my life where I need to work at them to better my self. I think we all need that don't we? I truly do love my life, so thank you Jeremy for letting me be me, and having the patience to deal with me while I try to better my self! I LOVE YOU HONEY!

I will be posting the few pics I took at Bear Lake as soon as I can find my camera!

Things comming up

2010-05-21T16:56:00.000-07:00

Well there has not been a lot going on since we left Idaho. Just a lot of sitting around the house. But coming up in the next few weeks we will have more to do!

Tomorrow I have my NORWEX party at my house. Then we are thinking about heading down to Provo to explore the town some more or at least orem and American Fork. Sunday we will be at his parents house visiting them.

Then next weekend I am not sure which day I will be leaving but the girls and I will be heading to Bear Lake for Memorial day weekend! We cant wait to go back, it is one of our favorite places to visit every summer!

The next week after Jeremy's Mom and I will be going to the Tracy Lawrence concert here in Eagle Mountain. Then that Sunday We have a family party with the Bryants!

Then we will have a summer full of yard sales and bear lake, then we are hoping to be able to go camping at Island Park this year like the good old days! So once I actually get pics and we do something worth blogging about we will post it up!

Our trip to Idaho May 2010

2010-05-09T12:11:00.000-07:00

We went to Idaho for our vacation. All of the photos are in backwards order I forgot to put them in reverse order. We went to Pocatello for my uncle Jere's funnral. It was a very nice service. From there we went to Jeremys sisters house and went to go see Leo the Lion from Real Salt Lake. Then we stayed the night at her house and then went to our nephew Londons soccer game, he was so happy he scored three goals! From there we left to go and see Jeremys other sister, went and saw their new house and went to go get the girls's ears pierced! We came back and watched The tooth farrie with the rock. When we got up and went to church Kevin, Chris, and Camaron all got ordained in to their possessions in the church. That is where we are at now. From there we will go and visit my Aunt Judy and then to the cemetery to visit my mom and dads graves. Afterwords we will head to my moms house to say HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, then we will head home. So here are a few photos we have taken over the weekend, remember they are in reverse order
Casaya chillin with Uncle Cody!

Casaya sporting her new pierced ears!
While we were watching the movie we Jeremys mom served as the Lazy boy, it was so sweet!
When they went to go and pierce her ears they tried doing them both at the same, but because she was so small they could not get in together to do it so they had to do it one at a time. But she did great at it, she cried for maybe thirty seconds then she was just fine. Did not bother her at all.
Just happy as can be waiting to get her ears pierced.
Kristin sporting her new pierced ears.
Kristen getting her ears pierced she did a great job, she did not even have to squeeze her moms hand.
Kristen getting scared waiting to have her ears pierced.

Ashley found some stickers on the way up so we took a pic.

Ashley-ism

2010-05-01T12:11:00.000-07:00

Here is how a conversation went between up today.
Ashley- "I hungry grandma I'm hungry!"
Me- "I hungry grandma I'm hungry, I'm so hungry I could eat a whole elephant" (from 101 dalmatians)
Ashley- " I don't want to eat a elephant mommy" As she said that with a sad face.
Poor little girl thought I was serious!

Do my girls have to grow up so fast?

2010-04-19T18:45:00.000-07:00

The girls Aunty Kris went to Las Vegas and brought back the girls some stuffed animals! This is Casaya enjoying her Eeore from her! She kept on eating it. When I went to pull it out of her mouth she got so mad at me!
Casaya started smiling last week!!! These are some of the first pics I got of her smiling! I love her smile!

Ashley got her first bike the other day! And thanks to Aunty Kris she also got a princess helmet! She is defiantly trying to learn how to ride she tries to get going and she tries to peddle back words! But she is getting it! She is so happy on her bike!

We went to a bouncy house today for play group.

When we first got there the girls did not want to play on the bouncy things they only wanted to play fallow the leader on the benches!

Got our back yard in!

2010-04-14T18:28:00.000-07:00

My cousin Ryan said that he would come and help us with our back yard, for a killer deal! So here are some before and after shots!

Our grass all rolled up in the back of the trailer and our stone is in the back of the truck!

Jeremy and Ryan berried our water drain hose.

This was Ashley's job, to play in her house and to stay away from the boys!

The bricks and the grass are almost together!
Our grass all done!

I dont have a pic of the finished bricks yet. Because they are not finished. We have to pull up all of the bricks that we layed and we have to put down some sand so then that way we can have level bricks that dont move! Ryan said he would come back out on Saturday if it is nice weather to finish the back yard! So I cant wait to have it done! Ryan did an awsome job with every thing. He was also nice enough to give us the grass out of his own lawn.

HOPPY EASTER!

2010-04-14T16:18:00.000-07:00

Myspace Graphics and Myspace Layouts

This was Ashley's Easter basket. The Easter Bunny found a really good deal on a princess table and chairs and she also got play dough, bubbles, coloring books, church shoes, big girl panties, and a princess bucket.
This was Casaya's Easter basket. She got a bunny, bottles, shoes, bows, pacies and a new blanket.
Casaya screamed and screamed because of her colic, right when we layed her down on her new blanket she rubbed her face on it and fell right a sleep. To this day she still loves the blankie and will still rub it on her face.
We went up to our cabin for Easter and Confrence. While we were there we had a big Easter egg hunt! This is Ashley searching for her eggs.

This is Casaya and her Easter basket, she was a sleep during the Easter Egg Hunt.

New Computer!

2010-03-31T20:35:00.001-07:00

We got us a new computer! Our old one bit the dust. But the thing that I am the most excited about it I will get to start blogging again! I have missed it so much! Plus that also means I can post pics of every thing we have been doing! So this is just a quick up date. I hope to get on on Monday to post pics from Casayas first time at Bear Lake!

Up dates

2010-03-23T11:26:00.000-07:00

Here are a few up dates on our family, our computer is still being fixed so we cant post any pictures! So hopefuly soon we will get it back.

JEREMY- He is still working crazy hours. The tendinitus in his knee is doing a little better he is down to wearing the brace only at walmart.

BONNIE- She is staying busy taking care of all three girls. And trying to keep up with the house. Which she has been failing at, but her new goal is to spend one ta two hours a day trying to clean the house and do laundry. Bonnie will be turning 26 on Saturday and has to go and renew her drivers license tomorrow. Yay! At least she found a baby sitter so she does not have to drag two kids to the DMV.

ASHLEY- She is being a typical three year old. Her favorite sayings right now is "I am the boss", "Get out of my room"," Give me my sister", "But I want to", "Why", "I have to watch it or I am going to die", and "I love you Mommy". Ashley will be going with a friend of the familys to high school to play in their day care center. They asked if they could bring Ashley so that they could get extra credit. So Ashley gets to go and play with playdough, build with blocks, read stories, and play with kids.

CASAYA- She had a very good blessing a couple of weeks ago, and she is very greatfull to all who showed up. Casaya has also been looking forward to going to high school with some friends of the family. She gets to go and show off to every one of how cute she is. She has also been keeping her mom and dad up to all hours of the night. She has Colic, so she finds it fun to scream all day and all night. Casaya will be having a nurse come out to our house tomorrow to have her weighed and to check on her development. Then on the 31st she has to go to the dr for her two month shots.

In other news my father fell down and broke his shoulder. He went to the dr yesterday to see when he will have surgery to repair it. When he went in the docter told him they are not going to do the surgery for if they do he will not be able to lift his arm up very far for the plate will stop him. But if they leave it alone he still wont have the range of motion. So why put him through all of the pain if its not going to help. So now we are waiting to see how he is feeling, and if he is feeling ok, we will be going to Bear Lake over conference/ Easter weekend. Which will be fun for that will be Casayas first time of ever going to Bear Lake, and my first time in a year in a half. I did not get a chance to go last year for I was preggers all summer and we had moved and I did not want to leave our new house! So this year I am looking forward to lots and lots of parties!

GET WELL DAD!!!

Up date

2010-02-26T15:35:00.000-08:00

We got the girls pictures taken from a lady named Cristy Rossi, We love these photos!!! She did such a great job with both girls! It was cool we went to her house and she had a whole bunch of dresses and bows and props for the girls! We had so much fun with them!

Here is a quick up date!

Casaya has her first ear infection! She has been up screaming since about 6 this morning! We went to the drs but because she is so small he could not see inside her ears so he does not know if she has a ear infection, but she cant eat, sleep suck on a pacie or lay down. And if we even get close to her ear she flips out! So we are pretty sure she has an ear infection! Stupid Dr!

Our computer got a really nasty virus! So thank heavens for my neighbor who is willing to take the time to clean up the computer for us! Also thanks to the same neighbor who took us in to the dr!

Jeremy is still working a ton! But we are very greatful that he is willing to work so hard so that I can stay at home with the kids!

Finally!!

2010-02-19T13:05:00.000-08:00

I finally got to go and see New Moon! Jeremy promised to take me to see it when it came out, but that never happened he worked to much and then the baby came. So my sister and I finally got to see it!!

Saturday my neighbor and I will be going to the chocolate thingy at thanksgiving point. We will be having a girls night out! Which will be the best for me cause ever since I had Casaya I have been craving chocolate like CRAZY!!!

Ashley has gone backwards in potty training! She is now afraid of the toilet!!! She keeps on trying to tell me that it is going to eat her! Poor girl, but I have got to get her trained! It is so nasty changing her diapers!

My brother Trevor just celebrated his birthday a couple of days ago!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY TREVOR!

My brother and sister in law are going to be celebrating their birthdays tomorrow! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIEMARIE AND KERRY!!!

My mother will be celebrating her birthday in six days! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!!

Jeremy works 18 hours today! So I am missing him like crazy!! I cant wait until he gets to be home! Jeremy gets to go to a BYU game next sat. After the game he will go out to eat with his dad and one of the players! He is so excited!!

So that is the up dates on the Foys!

Nothing much, just ramblings!

2010-02-07T15:35:00.000-08:00

There is not a whole lot going on lately we got Ashley back last night from my grandparents. She is having a hard time adjusting to being back home and having rules again. She liked having the freedom of being able to do what ever she wants, when ever she wanted to do it! Hopefully soon she will get used to being at home again. I am very grateful to every one who helped take care of Ashley while Casaya was in the hospital.

So I am just watching the super bowel at my moms house. Normally we are at Jeremys moms house watching the game, but this year she is sick with Bronchitis,(thanks Ashley for sharing your germs with Grandma!) So Jeremy is at his parents house watching the game with some of his best friends and his dad, while Ashley Casaya and I are at my moms house, far away from the germs! We are just watching the Superbowl now wondering why we are not crashing my uncles Superbowl party. He has one every year and I have never been invited! Hopefully one of these years we will be invited! I do have to say I dont like the commercials for the super bowl yet but it really does not help the game has been on for like ten minutes so far. I just hope we get some good ones this year!

I am looking at one of my favorite scenes ever! Ashley is reading Casaya a story, and Casaya is just sitting there with great big bug eyes, wondering what in the world her sister is talking about!

My head is killing me! I still have a lot of problems with my blood pressure. And I have not been able to get it under control. So I get these horrible head aches when my blood pressure spikes. I start seeing dots and some times my head will kill me so bad I feel like throwing up! When I get these headaches there is nothing we can do but let it run its course!

Up dates any one?

2010-02-02T18:20:00.000-08:00

Casaya- On Friday Casaya was starting to go blue around her mouth, she was not eating and she was acting like she was in pain. I called her dr she told me to bring her in so I did. He looked at her and told us that we needed to take her to Primary Children s Medical Hospital. So we took her there and waited around for seven hours in the emergency room while they ran tests. They decided they wanted to admit her for dehydration and to keep an eye on her oxygen. She was on moniters the whole time. She had a few coughing fits and forgot to breath a few times, she did lose weight while she was in the hospital which is one reason why they kept her there for four days. They would not release her until she proved that she could gain weight. Today she finally did! And they said that she could come home!!!!

Peanut- Is at our neighbors house, hopefully not tearing the house apart!

Ashley- Has a bad cold. It started out with a runny nose then a stuff nose and then it developed into a cough. We were going through every thing with Casaya, that we did not pay much attention to her cough. Well luckily my mom was watching Ashley for the weekend while we were taking care of Casaya. Ashley ended up coughing so bad that my mom took her into the insta care. It turned out she did not just have a bad cold, she has Bronchitis (or however you spell it) So they were able to get her some meds, and now she sounds 110% better then she did. Still has a small cough but she is no longer contagious. My grandparents offered to watch her for the week. So right now she is up in Pocatello with Great Grandma and Grandpa! She is having a blast!

Bonnie- Sat at the hospital for the past four days. Want to hear a funny story about Bonnie? Well here it goes! We were getting ready to leave the hospital and got every thing gathered up. We got home and I was trying to find my phone, and it was no where to be seen! I called it and could not hear it. So I then started panicking that I left my phone at the hospital. I then called the hospital to notify them that I left it there. They went to the room to look for it and could not find it then I really started to get scared. So I kept on calling and calling my phone over and over until some one picked up. Luckily I did that for my phone was in the bottom of the laundry basket! And because I kept on calling it they were able to hear it and fish it out before they washed all the clothes!

Jeremy- Still working 18 hours a day and is very stressed about money, and being able to pay the hospital bills we just got. But he is the only one out of the four of us who has not gotten sick!!! Lucky duck!

So that is the up of our family! Hope you enjoyed our family up date!

up dates!

2010-01-21T12:48:00.000-08:00

On Monday we went to the Dr to have Casayas weight checked. She gained 7 ounces!!! So she is now up to 4 pounds 14 ounces!!! She gained 7 ounces in one week!! The Dr said she is gaining weight so well she wont need to go back in until her two month appointment!!!! Yay! Way to go Casaya!!

Mom is healing nicely. We went and got the sterile strips removed about a week ago and the Dr said that it looks like the surgery was 6 weeks ago and not two!!! But my blood pressure is still screwed up! I keep on getting these really bad head aches from my blood pressure. I am taking pills for it, but I am not sure if they are working for I keep on getting the head aches. So I have to go in to the Dr for my six week check up, in a couple of weeks and I will talk to him about it then. Its just annoying for no matter what I do I can not get my head aches to go away. Caffeine does not work and I can not take Excedrin, for I am still nursing. So lets hope and pray we can get some thing figured out! And soon!

Jeremy is still working like a mad man. He is tired all the time, but that happens when you get four hours of sleep, and even then it is not straight. For he always seems to wake up when the baby wakes up then he has a hard time getting back to sleep.

Ashley is still spoiled. She has had a very hard time trying to adjust to being a big sister. That and being home and getting used to our rules again. She was bounced around from house to house for so long, that her little world just got turned up side down. But she is starting to figure out how mommy's rules work and what she can and can not do with her sister. But one thing Ashley did figure out how to do is share, and decided to share a nice cold with her sister.

Yesterday we went out and got Casayas pic taken at a Lady's house. She did a really good job from the pics that I saw that she took. I can not wait until we go back on the sixth to see the rest of them. I am hoping and praying that she has a thing where we can buy the copy right to the pics. For with what I saw we would be getting a second mortgage to pay for all the pics that we would like to get. They turned out so cute!!! And the lady even let Ashley get dressed up in a dancing dress and she got her photo taken and then she took photos of the two girls together! Daddy even got in on some of the photo taken fun!!!

3 going on 15?

2010-01-19T20:53:00.000-08:00

Today while I was making lunch Ashley kept on pestering me to hold Casaya. Well I finally let her. As she was holding her Ashley says to me " its ok mom, I got this! Go make lunch!"I thought that was so cute!

Photos!!

2010-01-16T19:38:00.000-08:00

My sister Ashley holding me for the first time! Ashley has waited a LONG LONG time to hold me. First thing she said when she saw me "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme"
Daddy having fun with me! He thought it would be fun to put me in Ashley's baby doll stroller!
Ashley got sick so right now she is with Grandma and Grandpa Smith. We really really did not want Casaya to get sick. But we are doing good either then that. Jeremy went back to work full time which he has had a really hard time with. He really does not want to be away from the girls.

We got some great news from Jeremy's brother in Spain! They will be adding a new little boy to their family in May!

Comparisons!!!

2010-01-14T10:50:00.000-08:00

Ashley Casaya
Birth weight 7 Lbs 6 oz 4 Lbs 2 oz
Length 21 inches 16 inches
Head Percentage 95% 5%
Weight Percentage 50% 1%
Heigth Percentage 97% 1%
Gestation 41 weeks 34 weeks
Birthdays December 20th December 28th

So that is the differences between our two girls!!! As soon as I can I will post the pics of both of them together!

Casaya is doing great! She is still eating every three hours weather she wants to or not!

Ashley is still very jealous of her sister and will is finding any and all ways to act out so she can get attention. Including wanting to suck on a pacifier and bottle. Any one have any ideas so hopefully we can put an end to this madness?

I love having my girls!! They are some of the best things that could ever happen to us!!!

Mom is doing well she went in for her check up yesterday and the dr said that her scar looks like it has been 6 weeks since the operation and not two!!! Mom is still very tired, and wants to sleep alot. But she is still loving life!!!

Guess What!!!!!!

2010-01-11T16:52:00.000-08:00

Casaya is Home!!!!!

We got a call on Sat morning. I picked up the phone and the nurse came on the phone. My heart sank, I thought that something was wrong with Casaya. First thing I heard was "Come and get your daughter" It took me a few min to realize what the nurse was trying to tell me. In the back ground I heard her tell another nurse "I don't think it has hit her yet" Right then it clicked! I started smacking Jeremy telling him to get out of bed, and I started throwing off the covers. He thought I was just being mean. Jeremy had no clue what was going on. Once I got off the phone I told him what was going on. He jumped right out of bed we got going and brought our little girl home!!!! We love having her home!!!

The first time Ashley saw her sister all she could say "Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie" "I hold her! I hold her"

Baby Casaya update!

2010-01-05T17:17:00.000-08:00

Casaya is still in the hospital! It is very sad and lonely with out her home, we can tell that some one is missing from our family when we walk in our door. Knock on wood, we have been lucky that we have been able to go and see her every day. She will take a whole bottle once a day,the other times she will take the feedings through the tube in her nose. Casaya will be able to come home when she can take all of her feedings through a bottle. Which we are hoping will be within the next week. But she is able to monitor her own temp, she is slowly gaining weight, and she has never needed oxygen. So the only thing keeping her in the hospital, is her learning how to eat. So keep us in your prayers and lets hope and pray she can come home soon!!!
Her pacifier is almost as big as she is!
I love when she sleeps like this!
Look ma! I have eyes!
Just to let you know the size she is!
I got to hold on to my hat!

Little Surprise !!

2009-12-30T16:26:00.000-08:00

Casaya Evelynn is here!!!!
She was born December 28th, 2009!
She weighs 4 pounds 2 ounces. and is 16 inches long!!

She was 5 1/2 weeks early. I had a cough for about two weeks and did not think much of it. Well on the 27th I started coughing so hard, I got one of those headaches you get from coughing too hard. I did not think much of it and I went to bed or I tried to. I ended up being up all night for my head hurt so bad. The next morning I got up and sent Jeremy to work. I called him an hour later and told him I think something is wrong. I called my neighbor and she came over helped me call the dr and helped me get Ashely ready so her daughter could watch Ashley while she took me over to the insta care. We got there, they got me checked in and went to go and take my blood pressure and it was 202. They looked at me and told me they were going to call an ambulance to take me to the hospital. So they took me over to Riverton Hospital and checked on me again, my pressure went up to 220. So they called my dr, he came in and said that we had 45 min to get ready for they were going to take me in for an emergency c section. I called Jeremy and got him to the hospital about 20 min before they took me back. We had no camera, no overnight bag, nothing was ready to prepare us for this. They took me back got me hooked up, put in the spinal, and I started to flip out, for every thing happened so fast I could not process it. The whole time they were doing the c section I kept on hearing Jeremy go, I see a foot, I see another foot, I see a butt, oh there is a sholder, ah I see some hair and there she is!!! They took her over to get her cleaned up. Her cry is so quite that I was not sure if that was her making the noise or not. After they got me stitched up they brought her over to me so I could give her a kiss, then they rushed her off to make sure she was ok.

My husbands birthday!!!!

2009-12-17T10:48:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was Jeremy's 33rd Birthday! He had a great day! We did not do much for him but we were busy all day! We woke up and had rolls, then got Ashley through the tub and went to Kiddie Kandids to get her pic taken, from there we went to Jeremy's moms house to say hi. We left there and went to the baby dr. Every thing is going great with the baby, dr said its still ok if we take her a week early! Yay! Hopefuly she will come two or three weeks early! From the baby dr we went to Arbys for Jeremys Birthday dinner. Then unfortunatly Jeremy had to go to work for 4 hours! Once he got off he came home and watched the Jazz win!! So all in all it was a great day for him! Below are a few pics that we took through out the day!

Ashley decided to help daddy do his hair, every daddy needs a headband right?

Ashley helping Jeremy open his Birthday presents! She kept on going "Ashees?" She does not get that her daddy's Birthday is just four days before hers! It is so hard to wait when you are only two years old!
We went and got Ashley's photo taken at Kiddie Kandids, While we were driving she decided she had enough smiling, So she passed out!
I asked Jeremy what he wanted to do for his Birthday, he said he wanted to wash the car, so we did. He had a blast.
By the time all the activities were done Ashley ended up pooped. So hard waiting for your Birthday! All day all she could ask is "Ashley s Birthday"?

If you see injustice, STAND UP
If something needs to be said, SPEAK UP
If you make an appointment, SHOW UP
If you make a mistake, FESS UP
If you’re overstepping, BACK UP
If you get behind, CATCH UP
If they knock you down, GET UP
If you’re out of line, STRAIGHTEN UP
When your boss instructs, KEEP UP
When your elders speak, LISTEN UP
When your teachers teach, SIT UP
When your preachers preach, WAKE UP
When your country calls, MAN UP
Ladies too... WOMAN UP
When the fight is over, MAKE UP
If you’re being hard, EASE UP
If your heart is closed, OPEN UP
If you want to buy something, SAVE UP--
It’s not an entitlement, so SHUT UP!
If you make a mess, CLEAN IT UP
If you drop trash, PICK IT UP
If a car is waiting for you to
walk across the street, SPEED IT UP
If you’re cold busted, GIVE IT UP
If people fall down, HELP THEM UP--
Not the government, YOU STEP UP
If idiots start fighting, BREAK IT UP
If the music is wholesome, TURN IT UP
If the message is poisonous, THROW IT UP
If your words are vulgar, CLAM IT UP
If your words encourage, KEEP IT UP
If your pants are baggy, PULL THEM UP
If the belt’s too loose, CINCH IT UP
If your fly is down, ZIP IT UP
If you’re dressed half naked, COVER IT UP
If you can’t afford stuff, PASS IT UP--
No “bailouts” folks, PONY UP
If you made a promise, you BACK IT UP
And you can take your whining and PACK IT UP
It’s called personal responsibility, so TAKE IT UP
This country was founded on it, you can LOOK IT UP
It’s the American way people, so TURN IT UP
Because when life gets boring, you SHAKE IT UP
When life is good, you SOAK IT UP
When life’s unfair, you SUCK IT UP
When life is funny, you can YUCK IT UP
When life is sad, just LOOK STRAIGHT UP
And life’s too short people, so LIVE IT UP!

Getting ready for two birthdays and christmas!

2009-12-05T17:22:00.000-08:00

Not a whole lot has been happening since I last blogged. I am getting ready for both Jeremy and Ashley's birthdays. Then I am trying to figure out what to get people for Christmas. We will be having a home made Christmas this year which I think will be kind of fun and different. Not sure what I am going to make Jeremy or Ashley for that matter. I always seem to make Jeremy scrapbook pages about sports or things that we have done through out the year. So I am pretty sure that he does not want any more pages, but I am not a very crafty person so I will have to figure out what to make him, and as far as Ash is concerned I will probably make her a new blankie or something. Not sure though, Any one have any ideas?

We just got Peanut a new coat at Walmart today, she looks so cute in it!!!! I will have to find batteries for my camera and take pics,so those will hopefully be up in the next week or two.

I am planning Ashley's princess birthday party for December 19th, 11:00 at our house!!! Please come!

What I am thankful for!

2009-11-23T05:28:00.000-08:00

There are a lot of things that people are thankful for here are a few of mine:

- I am thankful for a loving and wonderful husband who is willing to work several hours a day, so I can stay at home and take care of our girls.

- I am thankful for my daughter, even though she is heading into the terrible threes, she still finds ways to make me smile and laugh every day.
One of her latest stories,
Ashley comes up to me "Mommy, come here please"
I was laying down resting at the time, so I really did not want to get up. I told her " Can I come in a little bit? Mommas tired"
Ashley: No come now!
Me: Why?
Ashley: Cause I want to tell you something.
Me: What do you want to tell me
Ashley: I love you mommy!

- I am thankful for a mother who lets us spend the night, when it snows and is freezing, so we wont have to drive an hour home with black ice.

- I am thankful for a neighbor who is willing to go over and check on our dog while we are visiting our parents. I am even more thankful for the same neighbor who took our dog over to her house last night so Peanut could have a sleep over, so she would not have to sleep out side in the freezing cold!

- I am thankful for my Mother and Father in-law who is always there for us.

-I am thankful for our house we have to live in, a place were we raise our small family, and learn to love and be a happy family.

-I am thankful for our church. We may not be there every week for we are visiting our family, but I am grateful for no matter which ward we go to its all the same.

- I am thankful for my mom who comes down just to visit, and ends up taking my little one for a day or two so that I can get some rest!

-I am thankful for all the stores out there willing to give excellent deals on things, so we can afford Christmas! (Thank you Black Friday!)

- I am thankful to my extended family who is willing to drop what they are doing and come all the way down to our house to help us move heavy desks, filing cabinets and boxes.

-I am thankful for my Grandparents for loving and supporting us. I am also grateful that they are willing to collect clothes for our little girl, so she wont come home in a paper bag.

Wow! When I started this blog I thought I would have a few things to write down, I am realizing, there is so much to be thankful for. Even when I have trials, I am grateful that I can learn from them and grow better as a person. So that is just a few things I am THANKFUL for!

I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving! And if you go shopping on Black Friday that you will be safe!

Joke of the day!

My mom sent this cute little story to my email account, I think its so cute I want to share it with you!!

A little girl asked her mother: 'Where do people come from?' –
 wondering about the beginnings of the human race.  
The mother answered, 'God made Adam and Eve; they had children;
and thus was all mankind made.'
Two days later the girl asked her father the same question.
The father answered, 'Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved.'
The confused girl returned to her mother and said,
'Why did you tell me the people were created by God, and Dad said they came from monkeys?'
 The mother answered, 'Well, Honey, it is very simple. I told you about my side of
the family, and your father told you about his.'

Ashley's photo shoot!

2009-11-12T12:36:00.000-08:00

Ashley was sitting down reading a book when I took this photo. Then she thought it would be fun to have our own photo shoot. Yes I took the pics so I know they are not the best quality, but hey I had fun!While we were doing the photo shoot Ash did all of her own poses! She LOVES having her photo taken. These are just a few of my favorite pictures!
