Way too long!!!

2010-10-02T14:08:00.000-07:00

Holy Cow it's been forever since I've updated my blog!! Well just to make sure everyone knows...which I'm sure you already do, we moved back to AZ!! Clifford got a job with Career Builder and is loving his job. We have been here since the end of July. When things get less crazy I will put some pics up. Sorry for the slacking of blog updating on my part!! I will try to do better!!

The State Fair and Halloween Festivities!!

2009-11-01T14:57:00.000-08:00

I've been slackin on the bloggin so I have a big post here of the past couple months! In September we went to the Eastern Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot! It was pretty fun! It wasn't any different than any other fairs we've been to except for the yummy fried potato spiral things we got and the huckleberry lemonade! They were so good! Here is Corban riding the rocket!!

They had a little kids center with different activities like milking the cow and roping the bull! Here's Corban roping the bull!

And riding the tractor bike!!

Then we went to the petting zoo! He thought he was so funny riding this goat!

Brighton Loved the puppy!!!

This is the yummy Huckleberry lemondade...

and the yummy fried potatoes!! Gotta love fair food!!

In October the week before Halloween we went to a pumpkin patch at someone's house in Rigby! I was a little disappointed...it was an ugly field with a bunch of nasty rotten pumpkins all over the place!! They said they would have a scarecrow for pictures but they didn't have it when we went! Next time we will go to a real pumpkin patch! So we got a couple pics of the kids to say we went and got our pumpkins and left!

He wanted a pumpkin but had to pee really bad! haha

Then this past Friday night the night before Halloween I decided to let the kids paint their pumpkins since we hadn't carved them and Halloween was the next day! haha I'm such a slacker when it comes to carving pumpkins! Clifford was at work so I let the kids have at it! It was fun to watch them get all messy! Here's Corban painting away!!

Brighton wanted to help so I let her...

I turned my head for a couple seconds and this is what I saw!! haha Corban decided to paint his sister! lol It was pretty funny!!

She was havin so much fun!

Corban has been bugging me to paint his silver Iron Man toy red so he was asking me while painting the pumpkins! I told him we didn't have red that we would have to go buy some red paint! Then he said he wanted to paint it blue since we had blue at that moment so I said are you sure bud? He said ya so he did! Here is him with his blue Iron Man toy now! haha Whatever floats his boat! He's happy now! haha

Then last night on Halloween Clifford had to work again till 10 so I took the kids with our friends Chase and Jeri and their 2 kids Emma and Seth (who are the ones that I babysit) to Chase's parents house in Chester Idaho for their "town" trunk or treat at the park! haha The town has like 300 people total in it! haha The kids had fun though and got a ton of candy! Corban was in heaven! After the trunk or treat we went to his parents house and had cake and ice cream for Seth who turned 1 on Halloween and the kids played in their huge backyard! Corban had so much fun playing with all the boys! Brighton was just taking it all in at the trunk or treat so I didn't really get a smile from her! haha Here's me and here just arriving!

I talked Corban into taking a picture with me and Brighton! haha

He's happy to get candy!!

Little duck eating her sucker and loving it!!

Here is Corban the bumblebee transformer and Emma the princess!!

Seth the dog and Brighton the duck on our way home!

It was a fun night!! We wish Clifford could have been with us too! Thanks so much Chase n Jeri for letting me come with you guys! Corban ate so much candy and didn't eat his dinner that he ended up throwing up at 5 oclock the next morning!! Eww! I knew it was gonna happen though! He did it last year too! I learned my lesson so next year he will eat dinner and not have a ton of candy! I hope everyone else had an awesome Halloween! I am so excited for Thanksgiving and for the wonderful holiday season!!!

Exploring!!!

2009-09-10T20:34:00.000-07:00

On labor day we were bored so we decided to take a drive! We ended up going to a little town called Heise which is where Clifford and Corban went camping for Father's and sons! We went to the campground and walked around for a bit! We were just messing around and got some fun pics so I had to post them! This is a bridge that is over a little creek at the campground! Brighton was a little hesitant at first to walk on it!

She's being extra careful!!

Looking at mommy!!

Corban is in heaven being outside on a bridge by the water and rocks! haha

So sweet!!!

We saw this really old farm truck that was abandoned so we stopped and took pics by it! All the windows were broken! It was pretty sweet!

Chillin on the hood!!

He was trying so hard to reach the pedal! haha

This one cracks me up!!

AZ Visit, MEXICO, and BRIGHTON'S BIRTHDAY OH NINE!!!

2009-08-30T16:00:00.000-07:00

It's about time I update since our trip to AZ and Mexico since we've been home for 2 weeks now! We were super busy the whole time we were there! We took Corban and Brighton to the Phoenix Children's Museum one day and that was really cool! They had a blast! The highlight of our trip was going to Mexico! We went for 6 days with my family and stayed at the Mayan Palace in Rocky Point! We did a lot of relaxing and swimming on the beach mostly and did some shopping and eating of course! We took Corban with us and left Brighton with Cliffords parents! Being with family is always fun! Here are some pics from Mexico! This one is Corban being silly while waiting patiently for our lunch at the best restaurant in Rocky Point...Flavio's! It's so yummy!

Our first day on the beach Corban found a crab! He was so excited to show daddy!

It's Mr. Crabs

We went to the tide pools and tried to find sea creatures early in the morning! It was way fun!

Me and my sexy hubby

Our little family minus Brighton! It was nice not having her there though! haha

Corban and his cousins Max and Myles! They became best buds on this trip! It was so fun to watch them play! Keep in mind the twins are 6 and Corban is 4! haha

Corban is boogie boardin like a champ!

He loves taking pics! haha

Lovin the nice warm water!

Me and my mom and sisters that went this year! We are missing Kristin and Holly!

Here's Corban holding the starfish at the aquarium!

Corban and Daddy waiting for the turtle so they can pet it!

Our attempt to take a cute romantic pic with our initials carved in the sand! haha Our arms are supposed to be in a heart shape!

Me and my awesome Mom!

Here we are just before leaving to go home! We didn't want to leave! It went by so fast! Hopefully we can go back next year!

We left Mexico on Brighton's 1st Birthday! I can't believe my baby girl is already 1! Time flies by so fast! We got home and had cake and ice cream and gave her presents! She wasn't too sure about the cake at first but then dug right in! Here's a couple of her bday pics!

She loves cake just like her mommy!

She's riding the horse she got for her bday! She also got a purse with a necklace and bracelets, some books, a baby and a bottle(which is her favorite present and has to sleep with it every night), a stroller and another baby, and some pom poms! She loved them all!

Corban missed her so much while in Mexico so he's giving her big hugs! Awww!

She loves her big brother!

The day before leaving to go home we drove out to Scottsdale to eat at LoLo's Chicken and Waffles! Oh my goodness it is sooo gooood! You have to go try it sometime! Their cool aid is the best I've had in my life and the waffles with chicken is pretty dang good! If you like chicken and if you like waffles then you have to go! They have grits and all sorts of stuff to eat and you don't have to get the chicken with your waffles if you don't want! haha

Me and Heath!

Brighton is officially walking now too! Right around her birthday she started taking a few steps and after being home she figured it out! I love it though but she is starting to get fast and is running from me now! haha We took her to the Dr for her shots and here are her stats:

weight: 22.6 lbs 71%

height: 30.3 in 80%

head Circ: 19 in 99%

So she has a huge head! haha She is now sleeping in a toddler bed! We got a twin bed for Corban at DI for 10 bucks so we decided to put her in his toddler bed! He loves his new big bed and Brighton is doing pretty good in her bed! She fell off once but is doing better! We took Corban to get his kindergarted shots and he is still 100% in everything! I love my big boy! Here is Brighton walking!

Pretty girl!!! She loves her sunglasses!

We got this couch from DI for 25 bucks! What a smokin deal! We saw it and we couldn't pass it up! It was originally 60 but the guy sold it for 25 instead! It's one of those couches that is so ugly but so cool and most of you are probly like "that is the ugliest couch why would they buy something like that" haha but we love it! So let me know what you think of our couch! I love it!

Corban's 4th Birthday!!!

2009-07-23T10:14:00.000-07:00

My little man had his 4th birthday on Monday! I can't believe he is 4 already! It's so sad to see how fast he is growing up! We had to celebrate a little early since his bday was on Monday Clifford had a ton of stuff to do that day bcuz it is finals week so we went on Saturday and took the kids to Bear World then after that I took them to the lake with our friends while Clifford could get some stuff done before we went to see the new Ice Age that night! We had a fun filled day except we've been to Bear World 4 times already so Corban gets bored of being there really fast! haha It's funny that a 4 year old gets sick of it...but it was fun to see Brighton's reactions to the animals and the rides! I don't think we will go there any time soon! Here are some pics!

Corban trying to feed the deer!

Brighton wasn't too sure about the ginormous pig! haha

Brighton and her Daddy!

She loved the rides!

He's been tall enough to ride the rides for a couple years already! haha Brighton's getting close!

Mommy and her birthday boy!

This is the lake in Rigby we discovered that has a sandbar all around it so the kids can play in the sand and the water is shallow so they can just swim by themselves! I love it too! I really don't feel like I'm in Rexburg when I'm there I really kinda feel like I'm in Mexico sitting on the beach without any waves and the water is a tad bit colder! haha It's way fun though!

Brighton loving the sand and water!

Splashing around having so much fun!

My white Idaho boy that needs a tan! haha

Corban and Emma playing with someone's whale! They loved this!

Brighton just chillin!

On Monday his actual birthday we invited our friends to come over and have cake and ice cream with us! My friend across the street makes cakes and offered to make Corban his birthday cake without charging! Saaweet! So of course I took her up on that and she did such a good job! She made him a transformers cake! The top was cake and the bottom was rice crispy treats! It was delicious especially with birthday cake ice cream! Here is the awesome cake!

The birthday boy with his sweet cake!

Me and my little man!

Birthday boy and "Daddy Scott Mills" as Corban calls him! haha

haha She thinks Corban is trying to bug her because usually he is! Gotta love big brothers!

The birthday boy blowing out his candles!

It's crazy how fast time has gone by! I really feel like I just had him yesterday but at the same time it feels like I have had him forever! Corban is truly a blessing for me and our family! He is always always busy and keeps me on my toes all day long! haha I love all of the energy he has! I don't know what I would do without him! I am so thankful for him and that he is all mine! Mommy and Daddy love you so so much Corban and I'm glad you had such a good birthday!

Circus, Half Marathon, and Yellowstone!!!

2009-06-16T10:28:00.000-07:00

There was a circus here in town last week that we decided to take the kids to! We had buy one get one free tickets and free tickets for the kids so we decided why not! Corban liked all the animals but didn't really care about all the acrobats! haha Brighton liked to dance to the music! It wasn't bad for Rexburg! haha I think this might be Corban's first time eating cotton candy! He wasn't too sure about it at first but then started liking it!

The tigers and lions!

Here we are watching the circus!

Just this past Saturday I ran the Teton Dam Half Marathon! I talked my good neighbor into running it with me! It was alot of fun and I am proud to say I finished! It is worth it and I plan on doing more! Here is me and Erica afterwards! We stayed together the whole time until about the last mile she kinda went ahead of me and finished a minute before me!

About to the finish line!

On Sunday we decided to go on a family outing to Yellowstone! It was a rainy day and thought Yellowstone would be beautiful in the rainy weather! We were right! We saw this sign and Clifford had to take a pic with it!

The mountain behind us has some story behind it! haha It's pretty cool!

While there we decided to take Brighton's pics since she hasn't had them taken since 4 months old! Here are some of the many Clifford took!

We had to take a pic of the snow still remaining in June!

Cute one of Brighton and Daddy!

Family pic at the artists paint pots!

The animal we see the most of when we go! haha I'm convinced there are no bears in Yellowstone! Although we almost saw a baby bear in the tree but the park ranger stopped us and made us move our car! Gay!

Corban stepped in this huge pile of buffalo poop and was not happy! haha He kept saying "ew poop on my foot, get it off" haha We were laughing so hard and thought it was funny because it kept him from running around so we kinda liked it! haha You can see the huge pile below!

Waiting for us to clean it off!

His not happy face! haha

Mommy and Brighton!

Driving home!

Fathers and Sons!!!

2009-06-02T13:09:00.000-07:00

Clifford took Corban on the fathers and sons campout this past Friday! Corban was so excited all week to go camping with daddy and sleep in a tent! They left Friday afternoon and came back Saturday late morning! I think Clifford was excited to take him and just have it be Corban and daddy time! I got to spend time with just Brighton and my friend Elisa was in town so I got to go out to dinner with her and get a cupcake! We had a fun girls night! Here is a pic of them in the car driving!

Corban is testing the freezing cold water!

Here he is just waking up with a Jones soda! That's how you know his daddy is watching him! haha

Corban and his friends are going on a bear hunt! Notice how the kids are bigger than him! They think cuz he's their same size that he's their same age but really he's really like 3 to 6 years younger! haha

Playing in the creek!

Roasting marshmellows and making smores! YUM!

The nasty bug Corban killed!

Going on a hike! Looking for bears!

Just playin in the woods!

Chillin!

9 months, Bike Riding, and More!!!

2009-05-07T22:08:00.000-07:00

Brighton is 9 months old today the 8th! Where has the time gone? She is all over the place and is now pulling herself up and standing on everything she can reach! haha She is the happiest baby ever! She is always content just crawling around and playing with Corban unless she's hungry or tired! I could not ask for a better baby! Although she is quite a little buger when I put headbands on her she now rips them off within seconds of me putting it on! haha So I haven't been putting them on her which makes me sad! I hope she doesn't look like a boy considering she looks just like her daddy! We love having her as part of our family! She's gonna be walking before we know it! Here are her 9 month stats~

Weight: 20.7 lbs - 82%

Height: 29.8 in - 98%

Head Circ: - 18.3 in - 97%

Goin for a stroll on an extremely windy day! We were outside for not even 5 minutes when we decided it was too windy and cold to be outside any longer! I'm sick of this weather! I'm ready for summer!

As I was doing laundry I thought I would peek in Corban's room to make sure the kids were ok and I saw this....

haha Corban beating his drum with his Kung Fu Panda as the drumstick and singing "I am Iron Man" while Brighton was standing on the edge of his bed dancing! They were having so much fun!

I had to post this as well! I don't know why Corban is the world's pickiest eater because both me and Clifford will eat anything! There's only about 5 things he will eat! Well lately I haven't been giving him a choice for dinner! I give him what we are eating and nothing else and if he doesn't eat it then it's his choice but he can't have anything else! (I figure if he's hungry, he'll eat it eventually) So it worked a couple nights ago! I made husband's delight which is one of Clifford's fav's and gave him a bowl full and he ate the whole thing! I was shocked! haha So I had to blog about it! I'm hoping he will start to venture out and try new things! Here he is with his dinner!

Here's his bowl almost all gone! Woo Hoo! We're making progress! I hope!

Also I just had to mention that Corban has this pirate outfit that he wears all the time! In fact he even wears it when we go out! He always gets people's attention! It's hilarious! I think it's actually pretty cute!

Finally Corban can officially ride his bike! Yay! I have been trying to teach him for a while and he finally picked up on it! He loves riding it now that he knows how and I can't get him to stop! It's so nice now that the weather has been good enough to play outside! I am so proud of my little man! He's growing up so fast!

He's riding like a champ!

And riding some more!

VEGAS AND AZ VACAY!!!

2009-04-28T15:57:00.000-07:00

I finally got pics up from our trip to Vegas and AZ! Sorry it took so long! We celebrated our 5 Year Anni on April 10th by going to Vegas! My sister in laws drove to Veg and met us there to pick up the kids and take them back to AZ while we stayed a few days by ourselves! It was so nice to be able to be by ourselves and not have to worry about anything! We stayed at the NY NY Hotel which was a perfect location since it's almost right in the middle of the strip! We also went to the Tournament of Kings dinner show (would not recommend it) and the Mystere by Cirque Du Soleil! Can I just say AMAZING! That one was totally worth every penny! I want to see all the Cirque shows now! We took alot of pics so it was hard to decide which to post so there are kind of a lot! This one is before the kids left outside of Rainforest Cafe! It was too busy to eat there so we showed Corban the elephant!

This was at the Shark Aquarium at Mandalay Bay! It took us about 5 minutes to do the whole thing! Corban didn't care about anything but the sharks! Kind of a waste of money but oh well! haha

We took them to M&M Factory! Corban loved it! As we left he told the M&M Man outside that he had him in his bag! haha It was hilarious!

Clifford wishing he could win the Jackpot!

The kids left on Saturday afternoon so then we had some time to kill before our show! We went to the Coke Factory and we did the thing where you taste 16 different types of Coke products from all over the world! It was fun! Here I am with all the drinks!

In this pic I am tasting one from Italy!

It was freakin disgusting! haha

Here we are with both of our Favs!

This is us before Mystere since you can't take pictures in the theatre!

Here we are after the show at the Texas De Brazil Restaurant celebrating 5 years! It was pretty dang good!

Here we are on the Brooklyn Bridge on our way back to our Hotel!

I was so excited when I saw they have a Serendipity in Vegas! We are waiting for our reservations!

The Amazing Frozen Hot Chocolate! It was Heaven! I didn't want it to end!

We met quite a few celebrities like Cameron Diaz, Denzel Washington, Ben Affleck, Jenna Jameson, Hugh Heffner, Shaq, Simon and Ryan Seacrest, tu Pac and even Barrack Obama! It was a popular weekend for celebs! I guess it's cuz they knew we were gonna be there! Here is Clifford jammin with Stevie Wonder!

Here I am talking to Oprah!

I thought this was the cutest room ever so I had to get a pic in front of it! This was at the Venetian! We were gonna do the gondola ride but opted not to when we got there! haha I guess we just weren't feelin it!

Here we are at the Tournament of Kings Dinner Show before it started! We had front row!

After the show we walked to the Bellagio for the water show! Here we are after! It is so pretty to watch! The next morning we got up and drove to AZ! We were Vegased out but had a good time! We were ready to see our kids! I missed them like crazy!

While in AZ I had the chance to go out to Gilbert and meet my old roomies for dinner! It was so nice to get together with them! We all brought our kids too! It was quite a fun reunion! Here are all of us girls!

Here are me and my roomies! Minus Heidi and Kristi!

The whole group including the kids! It was so much fun and I'm so glad we did that!

We got to take the kids to the county fair while we were there too! Corban was so happy to see Spongebob!

Here he is riding the cars! We had a fun day!

We had such a fun trip! It went by way too fast! I'm sorry to those we didn't get to see while there!

Early Easter!!

2009-04-05T14:51:00.000-07:00

We celebrated Easter with the kids a week early since we are gonna be in Vegas next weekend! So last night we ate pizza for dinner then colored Easter eggs as a family! Anything that's messy Corban loves to do so of course he was in heaven! It's always so much fun to do things with your kids that they love! Here is Corban doing his thing with the eggs!

Daddy with Brighton! She was having fun just sitting and watching everthing we were doing!

She thought the crayon was pretty tasty!

Corban's Hulk hand!

Us and the finished product!

The Easter Bunny came last night also and here they are getting their basket full of goodies!

As you can tell Brighton is so excited about all this! haha She got a couple little books and a stuffed duck that laughs!

Corban got the movie Pinocchio and also a super hero activity book and tons of candy! I look gorgeous in this picture! Don't be jealous! haha

After the first session of conference we did the Easter egg hunt! Here's Corban wondering where to start looking!

There's one!

Showing Brighton his eggs!

Still looking!

Brighton's egg!

I think it's funny because we're gonna be in sin city celebrating Easter! haha I hope you all have an awesome Easter next weekend! We go to Vegas for 5 days then we'll be in AZ for a couple days! I'm so excited! Bring on the heat!

Brighton Crawling, Movie, and Shopping Spree!!!

2009-04-01T21:07:00.000-07:00

So Brighton is officially crawling! She has been rolling over and getting all across the room for a while now but she now has the crawl down I think! She's still trying to get the hang of it but she is getting it! No more just setting her down somewhere knowing that she'll still be there after I leave the room! haha She is so much fun! She loves to watch Corban and will soon enough be his little shadow! Here are a couple pics we got of her in action!

Here she is in her new high chair we got off of ebay! We have one similar to this one that is a metal frame from back in like the 70's but the tray was plastic and when Corban used it he destroyed it! haha There is a huge crack in the middle of it and I tried to Gorilla glue it back together but he managed to break it again! So I found this cute one with the metal tray so it can't be destroyed! Brighton hopefully won't be as rough as her brother! haha I don't know why they don't still make these high chairs anymore! They are awesome!

We took Corban to see Monsters vs Aliens on the opening day! He loved it! At first he got scared but then he realized the monsters were good so then he was ok! He watched the whole movie without getting up once except for the very end he had to go potty so I missed the end! It was a cute and funny movie! Here is Corban after we got home wearing his 3D sunglasses! He liked that we got to wear them in the movie! haha

On Saturday I drove down to Salt Lake by myself and met Jessica and Justina and her baby girl Eva at Gateway Mall! Clifford stayed home with the kids and was Mr Mom all day! I hadn't seen Jessica since before her mission so it was awesome to finally see her! We spent the whole day shopping! We ate lunch at CPK which was so good! Then we shopped more and then ate dinner at Z Tejas which was super good too! After we left the mall we headed over to Nordstrom before it closed! We were finally done at 9:30 at night! It was the funnest day ever and I'm so glad we did it! I had to drive back to Rexburg that night so I didn't get home till 1 in the morn! haha I was dead but it was well worth it! Here we are at Gateway!

Us at Z Tejas!

Jessica, Justina, and Eva! Gorgeous girls! Doesn't Eva totally look like she is Jessica's baby! haha Love the red hair!

All 3 of us bought the same pair of sandals! Aren't they so cute!

Thanks Jess and Stina for the Fantastic Day! I love you girls!

Brighton's Stats!

2009-02-25T22:01:00.001-08:00

So yesterday we took Brighton to the Dr for her 6 month shots and checkup!
Here they are~ Weight: 18.1 lbs = 80%
Height: 28 in. = 97%
Head Circ: =90%
She is quite a big girl! haha But not as big as Corban! At least she will be able to hold her own when she grows up! She will be one tough chick...especially with a big brother like Corban! She now has 2 teeth on the bottom with more on the way I think cuz she is pulling on her ears and chews on everything! She is getting pretty dang close to crawling and almost sitting up all by herself too! It's so much fun to watch her learn new things each day! Brighton you seriously brighten up my life! We love you baby girl!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME/CLIFFORD & HEATHER BDAY CELEBRATION!!!

2009-02-22T15:32:00.000-08:00

Last night for our birthdays we celebrated by going to eat at Red Robin in Idaho Falls! It was delicious as always! Here is Clifford and Corban!

Brighton and Mommy!

The Fam Dizzle

Then we went and walked around the mall! I bought a really cute hat that I've wanted for a while now! I love it! Thanks Clifford! Corban did a good job pushing Brighton in the stroller (most of the time haha)! We had to watch so he wouldn't run over people's feet! She loved it though! He is such a good big brother! Here he is pushing her!

Here's Brighton just chillin in the stroller lovin life!

Then after the mall we went back to Rexburg and hit up the local pizza joint Craigo's and got pizookie! Here it is! So good!

Here's Corban thinkin his mommy is a weirdo! haha Also the cute hat I got!

Brighton eating some pizookie! She loves it already!

Valentine's Date Night!!!

2009-02-15T15:05:00.000-08:00

Thanks to these 2 awesome ladies...my friends Emily and Mary were nice enough to babysit for us on Valentines Day so Clifford and I could go out on a date without the kids! It has been so long since we've gone out so it was awesome! We didn't do anything outrageous we just did the usual dinner and movie but the fact that we went without kids was a Big deal! haha Here are the 2 awesome ladies Emily in red and Mary in pink!

We took a pic before we left to start off!

We went to Ruby River Steakhouse for dinner first! It was so yummy! Here is Clifford making a weird face as usual!

Here I am with the carnation Ruby River gave me! All the ladies got one that night! I thought it was cute!

Here we are after eating the awesome dinner! Man we were so full!

Then after dinner we went to go to the movie Just Not That Into You at 7:30 but it was sold out and that's the movie we wanted to see so we waited until the 10:30 showing! Needless to say we had some time to kill so we went to the mall and walked around and found a steal of a deal on some shirts for Clifford! Gotta love the sales at Old Navy...half off the original sale price! Love it! Then we went to Barnes N Noble...the mall in Idaho Falls is so small with no good stores...but I do like Barnes N Noble and we looked for a while...then found ourselves playing Would You Rather! haha So here are a couple pics from that!

I am so short! haha

We didn't get any pics after this but we went to the movie and it was so good! I didn't even fall asleep! I was surprised I stayed awake that late! We got home at about 1:30 in the morn! I can't remember the last time we stayed out that late! We got home and ate some yummy cupcakes from Cocoa Bean! The best cupcakes in the world! Thanks Emily and Mary! You girls are awesome and Thank you Clifford for the fun Date! I love the time I get to spend with you! I love you with all my heart! I hope everyone else had a great Valentine's Day too!

Half a Year Old Already!

Today our baby girl is 6 months old! Where has the time gone? She continues to be such a happy easy going girl just like her mommy! haha She got her first tooth on the bottom about a week ago! She hasn't quite mastered rolling over yet but I'm sure she will soon! I'm ok with her not moving everywhere though! haha She is eating baby food like a champ too! She is the joy in our lives! I don't have her stats yet since we haven't been to the Doctor but as soon as we do I will put them up! We love you Princess Brighton! Here she is after church today!

I just had to add this one to show how sweet Corban is to his little sister! She puts her feet on his head and kicks and he doesn't even care! He just lets her do it! haha How cute!

Cold Snow, Baby Food, and Birthday Visit!!!

2009-01-31T10:21:00.000-08:00

A few days ago Corban wanted to go outside and make a snowman! So we went out with him but the snow wasn't good enough! It wouldn't stay packed, it was just icy and Not fun! haha So he played on the playground instead!

Then Clifford made a little sledding hill for him to go down! It wasn't the biggest hill but Corban thought it was the coolest and funnest ever!

He would slide all the way down to the road! The sidewalk and road are pure ice!

We don't have snow clothes for Brighton yet so we just have to bundle her tight! I'm not gonna spend money on expensive snow clothes to have her fit in them for a month! She looks cute in her little eskimo jacket my mom made her! Thanks Mom!

I started her on rice cereal and baby food a couple weeks ago! She loves it! She doesn't look like she likes it in this pic though only cuz she is super super tired! She woke up early from her nap! Little stinker! haha

Last Saturday my Mom and Dad came up for my Uncle's funeral in Utah! The funeral wasn't until Tuesday so they decided they would come up to Rexburg on Sunday and have dinner! It was my Mom's birthday on the 29th so I made her a Layered Birthday Cookie! Let me tell you...this was AMAZING! It's 2 big chocolate cookies on top of each other with a frosting made out of cocoa, powdered sugar, cream cheese, and some other minor ingredients, with mini m&m's and chocolate chips on top! It is super rich but to die for! It was my first time making it and it turned out just like the picture! haha Here's the finished product! If anyone wants the recipe let me know!

Here we are singing to my mom! Happy Birthday Mom!

I do have to mention that I have been going to the cycling classes up on campus on Tues and Fri mornings at 6:30 in the morning! I wanted more of a variety other than just running 5 days a week so it's been fun! It's hard to wake up but it's so nice to have my work out over with that early in the morning! Anyway on Tuesday when I went to leave I looked on the thermometer in the car and it was a whoppin negative 20 degrees outside! I thought I was gonna die I was so cold!

Catching Up!!!

2009-01-11T20:29:00.000-08:00

I am just doing some catching up on some things that I haven't blogged yet that needed to be done! So On December 1st 08 one of my best friend's Julia (Ju) Hunter got married to Jeff Larish! Their wedding was awesome and she was gorgeous! Here are me and Ju at her bachelorette party!

Here she is the Beautiful Bride! Her dress is the prettiest dress I have ever seen! It was amazing! She was the most beautiful bride and she looks so happy!

Here are the 3 of us! Ju, Berkie, and Me! Best Friends Forever!

Ju and I

Breakin it Down

On New Years Eve we finally got to get together with Amy n Kort and Brenna n Cody! I'm so glad we got to meet up! We were in town for a month and only saw them once! What the!

Then after that we went to the Webster's House and Partied for the New Year! We played games and ate and I got paid 26 bucks to jump in the pool with my clothes on! It was worth it! Thanks Jeremy and David for the $! haha Here are the MP girls! Heidi, Stef, Taush, Christina, Jodster, and I!

Here are Corban and Brighton with Santa! Brighton's first time meeting him! They both got spoiled for Christmas!

Brighton got to swing for her first time at the park! She loved it!

Corban having fun at the park in the perfect weather!

And finally...Brighton turned 5 months old on Friday the 8th! I can't believe how fast time has flown! She went to the doctor that day for her 4 month shots! We are a month behind since we were gone for the whole month of December! Here are her stats:

weight: 16 lbs 76%

height: 27 in 98%

head circ: 17 in 86%

She is super tall already! I think all of my kids are gonna be taller than me by the time they are in 1st grade! haha At least she's doing good for her weight! She is such a good baby! She sleeps from 8pm till about 6 am! She laughs alot now and is very alert! She makes us happy! Here she is on Friday! She is in a summer outfit but I have to make her wear it since it's 3-6 months and won't fit in it much longer! haha

New Pics!!!

2009-01-02T09:04:00.000-08:00

Clifford's sister Megan took the kids pics and our family pics a couple weeks ago! She did such a good job it was hard to decide on which ones to put up so there are alot of them! It is always fun trying to get them to cooperate! haha Here are the ones of Corban and Brighton together!

Here are the pics of Corban

Here are the one's of Brighton

Daddy and his Princess!!!

Me and my Hot Husband!!!

This family pic is one of the only ways we could get Corban to cooperate with us so we are blowing it up not for our main picture but it will be on our wall! haha It's a classic! The boys are crazy and the girls lookin cute!

This is the main picture that will be the huge one on our wall! I just love it! Thanks Megan for taking our pics! You are awesome!

Brighton's Blessing!!!

2008-12-11T09:26:00.000-08:00

Last Saturday December 6th we did Brighton's blessing! She is now 4 months old! I can't believe it! She's getting so big! We wanted to wait and do her blessing while we were here so all of our family could be there so it worked out perfect! My nephew Anthony was baptized on the same day so we did the blessing first then the baptism! It was a very special day! The blessing was really neat and she did so well during it! She is such a good baby! She smiles a ton and loves her big brother! She is very easy going and I couldn't ask for a better baby! We love her so much! Here she is on her special day!Here is one of our typical family pictures! haha
4th Generation picture! Clifford's dad, his grandpa, Clifford, Brighton, my dad, and my grandpa! The Mills Family

The Mills Fam Dizzle

Finally!!!

2008-11-23T19:40:00.000-08:00

Corban has begun to get the hang of potty training! We made him a potty chart and told him if he filled it all up with stickers then he could get the hulk toy! He got it today! For about a week I had to literally follow his every footstep around the house to make sure he wouldn't go potty in his pants! When he was in diapers he would hide every time he pooped so I had to catch him and put him on the potty because he wouldn't tell us when he had to go! I clean the house every Monday and I couldn't even clean this last Monday because of this! haha It's been a very frustrating and stressful couple of weeks but very rewarding! He's not fully potty trained yet but at least he is to the point now where he will tell us when he needs to go! Now he needs to work on holding it and telling other people he needs to go like at church in nursery or at school! I can't blame him for not being able to hold it though since his mom has the same problem sometimes! haha I'm sure those of you with kids can relate! Maybe! haha At least now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Here is a picture of his potty chart!

Here he is putting the last sticker on it!

He's wants the dang toy opened already!

Corban loving his sister this morning before church!

Just a pic after church to show how big she's getting!

We are coming to AZ this Friday! I am so excited! Wish me luck flying by myself with both the kids and no stroller carrying Brighton with my purse, diaper bag, and carry on bags trying to make sure Corban doesn't run off! Man I can't wait!

Corban Loves School!!

2008-11-04T20:48:00.000-08:00

Corban is now going to the preschool up on the BYU I campus! He just started going there 3 weeks ago! It's fun for him because he gets to go to Daddy's school! I am so proud of how good he is doing! We can really tell a big difference in his speech already! He has also been going to a private speech therapist for about 3 months now and between that and preschool he has already progressed alot! We are so proud of him! Here he is so excited to show me his name tag! His glasses broke so that's why he doesn't have glasses on...and we're waiting for the new ones to come!

Here he is this morning waiting for the bus! It comes at 8 o'clock which means I have to get my butt up out of bed earlier than usual to get him ready! It's fun though!

Here's the bus! He's on and ready to go! It's pretty cool they have carseats on it and bus assistants to help the kids! When I picked him up after the first day of riding the bus he saw me waiting at school and looked at me and said "no mommy, ride the bus" haha! It was hilarious! I told him "you only ride the bus to school and I pick you up"! At least he likes riding the bus!
Here is a picture he painted at school! When he brought it home we asked him what it was and he said "Hulk and Iron Man" haha So cute! We love you Corban and are so proud of you!

Happy Hallow-Weeny!!

2008-11-01T10:38:00.000-07:00

Earlier this week we carved the pumpkin! We went to the grocery store and all they had were huge pumpkins and I wanted to get a big one and small one for Corban and Brighton but we just decided to get one! So Clifford started drawing on it before he gutted it then realized he needed to gut it first! Corban was not a fan of the guts! haha We couldn't get him to touch them at all! Here they are before gutting it!

Here's Corban and the guts!

Corban is helping Clifford carve! It's a little scary with a knife in Corban's hand! haha

The finished product! Clifford refused to do anything hard this year since last year's Spongebob pumpkin took forever! It's ok! I don't blame him!

Yesterday we had our ward Halloween Trunk or Treat! This was the first trunk or treat we've been too! It was quite fun! Corban had fun going around to all the cars! This year was really fun for us because Corban actually understood more what to do! Here is a picture of The Hulk and Brighton before the trunk or treat!

Brighton with her cute owl beenie from Aunt Heather! Thanks Heather!

Her cute pumpkin headband and smile!

Daddy and the kids!

Mommy and the kids! I know we are lame for not dressing up! I didn't want to spend money on costumes we would wear once! haha Maybe next year!

I didn't get any pics at the trunk or treat but then after we took Corban down our street to trick or treat! Here he is showing off his pumpkin full of candy!

He had so much fun!

After trick or treating Clifford has some friends at work that invited us to their Halloween party! They had lots of yummy food! They did so good decorating! We ate and played some games and hung out and talked!

We had so much fun!

Corban was in heaven with all of the yummy treats they had to eat! haha We didn't get home until 11pm! I felt bad for Corban and Brighton! They were both awake the whole time! Brighton was spoiled by all the girls there holding her! Hopefully I can get her back on schedule after last night! Here is The Hulk just chillin on the Love Sac eating a cupdake after a super long day! The kids were troopers! I hope you all had a fun Halloween!

African Safari!!!

2008-10-29T09:56:00.000-07:00

Clifford and I had the chance to go to Africa....So of course we had to go on an African Safari since it has been my lifelong dream...and this Tiger was the first of many animals we saw!!!! It was AWESOME!!!!

JUST KIDDING! I wish I could go to Africa! Instead Clifford's Dad, 2 of his sisters Heather and Shelby and Heather's boyfriend Devin came up to visit us this last weekend! So the first place we took them to eat was Big Juds! The best burgers ever! Of course I did make them pumpkin pancakes for breakfast! Here is Heather, Dev, and Shelby!

Grandpa and his grandkids! This was their first time meeting Brighton!

Aunt Heather and Brighton!!

Then we took the kids to the zoo one day! Here is Corban and Brighton ready for the zoo!

Brighton's little J Lo outfit! haha

Once again our awesome family picture! Corban loves family pics! I really might have to blow this one up and frame it! At least I'm not pregnant in this one! haha

Heather and Corban being chickens!

Grandpa and Brighton looking at the monkeys! They were funny!

Saturday night we took them to go see the sand dunes in St Anthony and on the way we stopped at this park! It was pretty cool! I haven't been on a teeter totter since I was a kid! I forgot how fun they are!

Corban and Daddy on the teeter totter!

Corban loved this merry go round thing!

Shelby, Heather, and Me! Look how much shorter I am! haha

Me and Shelby in front of the Snake River! So pretty!

Then on Sunday we drove up to Jackson Hole, Wyoming! This was the only picture I got that day! Me and Corbs on our way! Then they had to leave Monday morning! We had so much fun this weekend! Thanks to the Mills for coming all the way here! We love you guys!

Photo Shoot!!!

2008-10-19T09:23:00.000-07:00

Since we don't know any photographers here I just decided to have Clifford take the kids pics! Luckily yesterday it was a beautiful day so it was nice to be outside! There were alot of cute ones so here are just a few of them! I think they turned out great!

If you look closely you can see a ladybug on her headband by the flower! haha

Winter is Here Already!!!

2008-10-13T20:33:00.001-07:00

So this past weekend we had a fun weekend! On Friday night

we went and ate dinner at a local restaurant called Smitty's! It's a pancake and steak house which I highly recommend the next time you are in Idaho Falls! haha Their pancakes are awesome! I could seriously eat pancakes for every meal! Speaking of pancakes I have an awesome recipe for Pumpkin Puff Pancakes that are to die for if! So I might just have to post the recipe for you all to try! Then after we ate we went and got Brighton's ears pierced! She only cried for a couple minutes then she was fine! She looks so cute! I tried to get a pic of her cute little earrings the best I could!

I caught her smiling on camera! I forgot how hard it is to take pics of babies cuz they move so much! She was in such a cute mood!

Then Saturday we woke up and started painting some stuff we have for the kids rooms! This rocking chair took pretty much all day for us to paint! Minus a couple hours for lunch and nap time! I love my nap time! So it was blue but since I have it in Brighton's room we decided on pink! We didn't think it would be that bright it definately is! Here is Clifford enjoying the fun of painting! We had fun!

Here is the finished produch in Brighton's room! It goes with her name I'll tell ya! It totally looks like it belongs in Cat in the Hat! haha I love it though! I am gonna keep it forever!

Her name we painted! Clifford did the princess one!

We bought some Lightning McQueen decos for Corban's room! He loves them!

Here's Corban doing the fish hook!

Then after a long day Saturday we woke up to this on Sunday morning! EWWW Snow already! I couldn't believe it snowed already! So not fair! It hasn't stuck to the ground yet but it sure is cold! We have a long winter ahead of us! I can't wait to come to AZ!

2 Months!!!

2008-10-08T20:43:00.000-07:00

So today Brighton is 2 months old! Time flies! I took her today to get her shots! It was so sad! Here are her stats:

weight: 12 lbs 81%

height: 23.15 in 81%

head circ: 15.5 in 68%

I am glad she is nice and healthy! I'm hoping she stays the way she is and doesn't spike up to the 100th percentile in everything like her brother! haha So far so good but we'll see! She is such a little angel baby! She has started to smile and is starting to coo and make little noises! She is starting to be awake a little more! She is so much fun to have in our family! We all adore her so much! Brighton we love you so so much! These pics are right after her nap after her shots so she was a little out of it I think! haha I had to share them cuz they are still cute!

Corban and Brighton!

2008-09-28T10:12:00.000-07:00

She was wide awake so I thought I would take a few pics! Sorry about the spit up on her shirt!

He loves his sister!

Here he is being silly for the camera!

I thought this one was so precious!

Girls Night Out!!!

2008-09-28T09:43:00.000-07:00

Me and my cousin Jamie and Baylei had a girls night out! We try and do this once a month and it works out great! They got a big group of girls together and so there were about 9 of us that went! Most of them are still single but there was one other girl that is married and has a baby also so I didn't feel quite out of place! haha We went to Olive Garden for dinner and then we did a scavenger hunt! We got into to groups and had to go around town and do different things and our pictures were our proof! It was so so so much fun! So here is a picture of my group!

Here is us in front of the Falls... Idaho Falls by the Temple!

Here is a picture of us getting NAKED...The juice that is!

Here we are doing the human pyramid! The girl on top is a random girl we asked to help us since we didn't have enough people in our group! She is a cheerleader so she had no trouble at all getting up there!

We had to get a pic of our group in a bathtub so here we are at Lowes!

And then we met up at this place called Leatherby's for dessert! The losers had to buy dessert! So we asked the general manager to be the judge! He looked at all the pics and whoever's pics were the best one! Well....My group Won! This was the dessert!

We all shared it though! haha It was heaven! This is all of us that went! It was a blast!

Major Bloggage!!!

2008-09-25T07:55:00.001-07:00

I decided I wanted to go hike the R Mountain we have here, which is from when the college used to be Ricks! It doesn't look very big looking at it but I promise it's a good workout! I think I did good considering I did it 5 weeks after having a baby! haha It was nice to get out of the house without the kiddos! I went with my cousin Jamie! We had a good time! If you look behind me you can see the Snake River! The Temple is down there somewhere too! Looking down you can't even tell it's on a hill! haha It is though!

There's the Snake River! Now I know why they call it the Snake! Rexburg actually looks pretty from the top of the mountain!

This is my cousin Jamie! She goes to school here! I just love her so so much! She is so awesome! She is still single so if any of you know any awesome guys to hook her up with let me know!

So when my mom was here after I had Brighton she decided to invest in a brand new town house! Since we live here we are the lucky ones that get to live in it! That is why I have had no time for anything lately because we have been so busy moving! Man it's a little crazy with 2 kids trying to move! Lucky for us Jamie was here to watch them when she wasn't in class! Here are some pics of the house! You probably can't tell which one is ours! (wink wink) haha

Our new kitchen table!

The kitchen with granite counter tops! I love it!

The family room!

My little man started preschool this week! He loves it! He goes twice a week at the elementary school! After a few weeks there they will transfer him to the preschool up on the BYU campus! They just need to figure out what his needs are before he goes to the actual preschool! He is doing better already with his speech! We have him in private speech therapy as well! I am so proud of him!

Here is a pic of Brighton I took last night before bed! Just to show you all how much she's grown already! I will put more up soon!

Hillary's Visit

2008-09-08T18:04:00.000-07:00

My awesome sister in law Hillary came up to Rexburg to visit! It was so much fun to see her and for her to see Brighton too! Here we are at G's Dairy! They have the best huckleberry milkshakes and ice cream ever! So if you ever come to visit we will take you there for sure! We didn't get to see her that much but it was still fun! We love you Hil!

Brighton Picy Poos!

2008-08-26T12:57:00.001-07:00

I have finally had a minute to myself so I thought I would update my bloggy blog! Having 2 kids is alot of work! haha I hardly have time to breathe now! Some days I feel a bit overwhelmed but for the most part it's going good! It's so much fun! I can't believe I have 2 kids now! I am also back to babysitting Emma, so when she's here is crazy! Corban loves her though! Brighton is doing really well! She will be 3 weeks old on Friday! We all just love her so much! She is such a sweet little spirit that "Brighten's" our home! She is just a little angel baby! She does really good at night! I feed her at about 9 or 10 and she won't wake up again to eat until 3 0r 4 then goes back to sleep until about 6 0r 7! I am not complaining one bit! My mom got to come up here a few days after she was born for 5 days! I was glad to have her stay with us! She kept me company and helped us out a ton! Brighton is her 30th grandchild! Crazy huh! Thanks Mom for all of your help! I love you!

She had jaundice so we had to put one of the bili blankets on her for a couple days! She had to lay with the light on her back 24/7 till she got better!

Here she is enjoying the bath tub! She loves it! She just hangs out in her little chair while I get her and Corban bathed and doesn't make a peep!

Corban loves his little sister "Biben" Ok funny story...So when he was holding her we looked down at him and he had his shirt lifted up and was trying to feed her! He was saying "Biben eat!" It was hilarious! I love my little man!

These next 2 were just a few days ago! She was wide awake so I had to bust out the camera!

Check this out!!!

2008-08-10T20:36:00.000-07:00

Sorry I forgot to do this on the last post but check out how much Corban and Brighton look alike at birth! Compare with the first picture of the last post, its funny!

Brighton's here!!!

2008-08-08T12:14:00.000-07:00

Ladies and gentlemen of the blogging world, in behalf of my beautiful wife that is still at this moment in the hospital, I bring to you spectacular news! Brighton was born!!!!

Allow me to break down the story. It was Heather's wishes to have this baby on 8-8-08 and Heather gets what she wants. Like she has posted before we went to the doctor on Tuesday and she was dilated to a 3. That's all she needed to hear, this baby was coming out on the 8th. Yesterday afternoon we made a trip to Walmart to purchase some Castor Oil. With much coaxing from her sister and others, Heather was determined to give her child the coolest birthday ever. Last night while I was away at jiu-jitsu Heather dropped in 4 tablespoons of Castor Oil into an 8 0z. cup full of Sunny D and chugged away. When I returned home she seemed in a pleasant mode and had not yet received punishment from her choice of induction. Heather fell asleep around 11 and I managed to stay up to watch Americas Best Dance Crew (I'm such a sucker). I fell asleep around 12 only to find myself awakened nearly an hour and 15 minutes later. "Clifford, I thought I pee'd my pants but I couldn't control it. I had to change my bottoms and everything!" At that moment we both new it was on. Within minutes she began to have contractions every 3 minutes for the duration of a minute. We called up a friend to come watch Corban while we rushed to the hospital.

Upon arriving to the hospital we were greeted with immediate response. My wife was in a lot of pain and I wasn't the only one noticing it. Shortly after getting Heather on the bed the nurse checked her cervix and informed us she was dilated to an 8 and was completely thinned out. By this point Heathers contractions were every couple seconds and she was yelling at the nurses in pain to "call the doctor and get me an epidural!" 10 minutes later and still no sign of the doctor the nurse checked again and declared that Heather was ready. Heather had reached the point of no return. She was going to give birth the ol' fashion way. Heather continually had the urgency to push but was told to hold it until the doctor arrived. 20 minutes from the time we arrived to Heathers room the doctor show up, indentation along the side of his head from the pillow he slept on and all. With 12 grueling pushes the baby was out. Around push 9 the doctor had to ask Heather to calm down because she was turning into an animal and was going to hurt the baby if she continued to push the way she was (I don't blame her one bit). The baby came out for a minute not breathing. The doctor said she was just shocked from the labor. The nurses gave her oxygen and within seconds she was fine and breathing on her own.

It was an amazing birth. My wife was made to bear children. "She's got dem child bearing hips, the kind that pop right of socket" (name that movie). So all is well now the pediatrician came in and gave Brighton an exam and said everything looks wonderful. Heather is taking a nap and relaxing. She looks sexy as hell for just having a baby I might add. I picked a good one. So until we are able to upload the pics that is all for now.

GET THIS BABY OUT!!!

2008-08-05T20:44:00.000-07:00

So I went to the doctor today and I am dilated to a 3 and he said I am thinning too! I can't remember what percent he said but I did hear I am making progress and he also stripped my membrane to hopefully help but we'll see! I hope it works! Have any of you had success with stripping your membrane? He said it works for 30% of women so I am crossing my fingers and praying that I go into labor soon!

Bear World!!!

2008-08-04T21:03:00.001-07:00

Bear World is this wildlife park that is just a few miles from our house! When you first get there you drive in your car along the path and it takes you through all the animals they have there! They have all the animals that Yellowstone has but you can actually SEE the BEARS! The only difference is you can't get out of your car but it's still fun to see them!

I had to take a picture of the bear! There were a ton of them and they were all walking right by our car! It was awesome! Corban loved it!

Then you get out and go to the park where they have some little kid rides and a petting zoo! Corban of course loved all of the little rides! Here are some of the pics!

You can drive through the part with the big animals as many times as you want so we decided to drive through it one more time before we left! The bears had just gotten fed so they were still looking for more food I guess and this one decided to get up on our car! Holy Crap! It was so funny! We did not expect it all! Luckily it didn't scratch the car at all! He was just chillin on his paws! It was pretty cool and Corban thought it was pretty funny! He kept telling the bear to get off of the car!

Rexburg Dance Festival!!!

2008-08-04T20:26:00.001-07:00

Every year in Rexburg they have a Dance Festival where people from all over the world come! They actually close down main street and do it all along the road! Each country has dancers that represent them and they dance along the street! They also have a ton of stuff along the sidewalks like food and different activities and little stands to buy different things! It was pretty cool to go to and fun to watch! It's definately a small town thing to do for sure!

As you can see here is Main Street and pretty much the entire town of Rexburg comes to this!

Here is the huge blow up slide they had for the

little kids! You know it's big when Corban looks little! haha You had to pay $2 for 3 slides so after Corban did 3 he was just a little upset! I think it should've just been free! It was hilarious

to watch his facial expression as he was sliding down!

Yellowstone For A Day!!!

2008-07-26T09:49:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday we decided to go up to Yellowstone for the day! We wanted to go do something fun but couldn't decide what so at the last minute we decided on Yellowstone! It's only about an hour and a half from our house so we are pretty lucky! I love how we don't have to drive far at all to see such a beautiful place! I must mention that Holy Cow the gas prices there are $4.36 a gallon! Isn't that just ridiculous! This picture below is of my boys in Island Park just before Yellowstone at a creek where the water runs right off of the mountain! We had to stop and look at the fish! It's amazing how clear the water is and it's freezing cold too! So pretty though!

Here is an awesome waterfall we stopped at in Yellowstone! It was so powerful and just gorgeous! Can't really tell in this picture but it was! It was like we were standing right on top of it! So cool! So while me and Clifford were looking at the waterfall and getting pictures we turned around....

and we saw Corban had climbed up this rock! haha I guess he decided he wanted a better view of the waterfall! He probably saw that other kid was up there so he had to go up there too! He thought he was so cool! So Clifford had to climb up there and get him down so we could get a family picture and....

this is what we got! haha He was not happy we made him get down! We told the people taking our picture to take it even though he was throwing the hugest fit! So funny! We thought about blowing it up and putting it in our big frame in the family room as our new family photo! What do you think?

We finally saw some buffalo after a couple hours of driving! Good thing we did cuz Corban would've been sad! He was saying "fuffalo"the whole time in the car! This time we got lucky and there was a bunch of them right by the side of the road so we got out! Here is one I got to get pretty close too! So scary!

I had to pick Corban up otherwise he would've ran straight to it cuz he wanted to pet it!

Then one of them decided to go in the middle of the road so we all hurried and ran back into our cars!

You just can't go to Yellowstone without going to Old Faithful! It was a bummer though cuz we had gotten there right after it erupted so we didn't get to see it this time! It erupts every 45 minutes! We didn't feel like waiting that long so we didn't get a very good picture! It would've been way cooler to get one with it erupting but this will have to do!

Here's Corbs in front of Old Faithful!

...and here is Corban sitting on Old Faithful

I am still bummed that I haven't seen a bear there yet! I am determined to see one! Even though we didn't see a bear we did see a few deer! Didn't get any good pics though! We had such a fun day!

Corban's 3rd Birthday!!!

2008-07-21T13:45:00.001-07:00

I can't believe that my baby boy just turned 3 yesterday! Wow how time flies! It makes me sad to think how fast he is growing up! I just want him to be little forever! Well I guess he's not even little for his age...we took him to the doctor a week ago and he is a whopping 46 lbs! My goodness! He is already in little boy clothes! He is so sweet though! I just love how much joy he brings into our home! I love my little man so much!

We decided to try and make him a cake this year! As you can see he picked Wall E! I baked it then Clifford actually decorated it! It was quite a project! I don't how people do this for every kids birthday they have! I think this was the first and the last time we will make it! haha It turned out cute though! Good job Clifford!

My sister Denise and her family are up here visiting her husband's family so we were lucky enough to have them come over and sing to Corban with us and then eat the cake and ice cream! These are the pics I got of Corban and his cake! He loved it and had like 5 pieces I think! haha

So for his birthday present we got him a bike with training wheels! Now he just needs to figure out how to pedal! haha He still doesn't quite get it but hopefully soon!

We also took him to the zoo! We invited our friends to come with us! They're little girl Emma is 16 months old and just a tiny little thing but just cute as ever! She's the little girl I've been babysitting ever since she was little so Corban absolutely loves her to pieces! It's so cute to see them play together! He was so excited when I told him Emma was coming with us to the zoo! After the zoo we took them to this place called Leo's Place! It's a fun place for kids! It's got a huge jungle gym type thing in it that the kids climb and play on with 2 huge slides that are probably 12 feet high! It's so big I couldn't even get a picture of it! So you order your food and sit and eat and watch the kids play! They had a blast! So here are some of the pics at the zoo! It's a pretty small zoo but it was still fun for them! It took us less than an hour to go through the whole thing! It's definately not the Phoenix zoo! haha

They were more interested in the fake tiger than the real ones!

Oh just have to point out the orange sticker on his forehead! He found it in the car and had to have it sticking to his forehead the whole time we were at the zoo!

Happy Birthday Corban! I love you Dude!!!

Demolition Derby!!!

2008-07-15T20:49:00.001-07:00

This past weekend there was a demolition derby in town at the fairgrounds so we decided it would be fun to take Corban! It's funny because I think the whole town of Rexburg was there! Demoliton derby's are a big hit in a small town! It was pretty fun! He liked to watch the "cars crash"! I really think I want to be in a demolition derby sometime!

If you look real close at the black car in the middle below it says "called to crash" on it and had missionaries names on the sign on the top! We thought it was funny!

New Belly Pic!!!

2008-07-07T13:08:00.000-07:00

Here is my belly from the side taken by Aubrey at her house! She told me it was time for an updated belly pic on my bloggy so here it is! I am almost 35 weeks now! I can't believe that I am almost done finally! 5 more weeks! Woo Hoo I will put one more up right before I have her in a few weeks! We'll see how much bigger my big belly will get!

4th of July Weekend!!!

2008-07-07T09:30:00.000-07:00

We went down to Utah and stayed with Aubrey, Nathan, and little Deacon at Hotel Hunt! It was alot of fun! Friday morning Aubrey took us on a little nature walk behind Lagoon so Corban could see the buffalo and elk they have there! Here are some pics from our adventure!

Later that night we bought some fireworks and lit them off at Aubrey's house for Corban! We thought we would be able to see the fireworks that they do at Lagoon from their house but we couldn't so we didn't get to watch any this year but it was still fun lighting them ourselves! Corban had a blast and loves the "fire"! Here he is playing with the sparklers!

Thanks Aubrey for letting us stay at the Hotel Hunt! We had a great time!

Random Corban pics and Goodbye Friends!!

2008-07-05T20:53:00.000-07:00

The other day we were outside playing and Corban wanted to climb the tree so I helped him climb up and he just stood there for like 15 minutes! He kept telling me he wanted daddy to see him in the tree so I had to run inside and get Clifford and I grabbed the camera too! I got a couple cute ones of him chillin in the tree!

Also my good friend Kara and her husband Danny and their new "baby Ben" as Corban calls him just moved back home to Illinois! They lived in our apartments just a couple doors down! Corban loved to go over and see the baby! He is gonna be sad when he goes over there and they aren't there anymore! We are gonna miss them! Here's a pic of me and Kara and Corban with baby Ben!

Green Canyon!

2008-07-05T20:35:00.000-07:00

Last weekend we went with some friends to a place called Green Canyon! It's about 30 minutes from our house! It's a natural hot spring that they made into a huge public swimming pool! It's so cool because the shallow end is huge and only about 3 feet deep so Corban could just go off and swim by himself! He had so much fun! He also jumped off of the diving board into the deep end a few times and did so good! The water is pretty warm just like the swimming pools in AZ in the summer when it's so hot outside that the water is like the bath tub...ya that's what it felt like but it's supposed to be warm so it was awesome! In random places throughout the pool you can feel holes where there is hot water coming up from the ground into the pool! They also had a super hot one outside but of course I couldn't get in that one! haha These are the only pics I got to take of us just after we got done! That's the pool behind us!

Corban's New Pics!!!

2008-06-22T20:10:00.000-07:00

We finally got Corban's pics back that Clifford's sister Megan took for us in April when we were there visiting! She had to get him in action because he will not pose for the camera! I guess he is just a typical boy... I hope! Here are a few of them! The very last picture of him standing up is our favorite! They turned out pretty dang cute!

Clifford and Corban!!!

2008-06-22T19:48:00.000-07:00

I know it's a little late but I thought I would just post a couple pics of Clifford and Corban all ready for church on Father's day! Corban loves to get ready for nursery!

I think it's funny because whenever Clifford holds Corban he actually looks kinda small or at least average! haha I am thankful to have such an amazing hubby! He is such a wonderful daddy! Corban adores him!

Corban has Glasses!!!

2008-05-16T12:50:00.000-07:00

We took Corban to the doctor last week and they checked his eyes! They said he is extremely far sided and has an astigmatism and that he needs glasses! We got them today! We got ones that bend like crazy and they wrap around his ears so they stay on pretty well! When he first put them on he moved his head all around and was looking at everything! It was cute! I was a little worried at first that he will try to take them off but so far he's done pretty good at keeping them on! He actually didn't want to take them off for nap time but I just told him his glasses need to take a nap too and we put them in the case! Here he is saying cheese while eating a cheese quesadilla! It's the best we could get! haha I'm hoping he will want to focus more now that he can see!

My New Bike!!!

2008-05-13T12:45:00.000-07:00

This is my Mother's Day present from my awesome husband! I am so excited! I have been wanting a bike for a while! Well in order to ride the bike I have to have something to pull Corban so we got this trailer too! I love it and Corban loves it too! We haven't gotten to ride a whole lot yet because the stupid weather can't make up it's mind so one day it's perfect weather then the next it's cold and snowing! What is up with that! So we found this park that has ducks that Corban absolutely loves! It's too far to walk but not far enough to drive so I am gonna ride my bike and take him! Plus I figured it's good exercise while I'm pregnant too! Then when Brighton comes the trailer fits 2 kids so it will be perfect! I need to take advantage and ride as much as I can since I can only ride it like 4 months out of the freakin year! haha I love it so much! I love riding bikes and it's been so long since I've had a bike! Thanks to my wonderful husband! You're the best and I love you so much!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

2008-05-11T11:19:00.000-07:00

Happy Mother's Day to all you Mommy's! I hope you all have a fabulous day and get to sit back and relax! Sorry about my hair in the first pic, that's what just what you get living in Rexburg...nonstop wind!

Belly and Hair!!!

2008-05-08T22:26:00.000-07:00

Here is the belly pic that has been requested! I am 25 weeks in this pic! I am now 26 weeks! I feel great! Everything is going smoothly! Also if you notice my hair is short too! So I went to get a trim and my sister was combing through my hair and it was just a huge knotted mess! She couldn't even comb through it even after it being conditioned! Well apparently from me dying my hair black and then having to strip it to get the black out completely fried my hair! She told me I needed more than just a trim and this is how short we had to go! I was not happy at all! Now I just need to keep taking the prenatals and grow it back out! I learned my lesson and will never dye my hair black again!

Slippin and a Slidin!!!

2008-05-08T21:30:00.000-07:00

While in AZ Corban really wanted to go swimming! I had been telling him before we left that we could go swimming but when we got there the pool was still too cold! What the! Well at least it's hot enough outside for some slippin slide action! We put some soap and baby oil on it and Corban had a blast! He loves water and especially when he gets to play in it!

UPDATE!!!

2008-04-29T14:01:00.001-07:00

So I thought I would give you all an update! I am definately slackin on the updating! Sorry! The computer that I use to upload all of our pictures is dead and wont recharge so we have to get it fixed! Thats why I haven't been able to put new pics up! We did have a blast on our little week long trip to AZ! I loved every minute of the heat! The baby shower was so much fun! Thanks to all who came! We definately got some great stuff and will be much needed! I've had some requests for a picture of my belly too! So very soon hopefully I will get that up with some other pics from the shower and also of Corban! Clifford's sister took his pics while we were there and they are dang cute! I am so excited because the weather is perfect! Yesterday was 75 and today is 65 degrees! Love it!

Making Room!!!

2008-03-28T14:31:00.000-07:00

Clifford's mom and sisters are so awesome! They helped me go through all of mine and Clifford's stuff and Corban's stuff and we rearranged Corban's room to make room for Brighton! She was so nice and bought us a porta crib and some little drawers for her too! I am so exited! She also bought us a pink car seat for her which we still have in the box in the closet since we still have a while! We were thinking of moving into a 3 bedroom for more room but we decided that it would be cheaper and less of a hassle if we just stay here! So we made room and it turned out pretty good for the little space we have! I have one awesome mother in law!

Corban and soon to be Brighton's room too!
Here is Brighton's little corner of the room!

If you look closely at the blanket it says Brighton on it! Marsha had it made! I love it! I hope she's really a girl!

Quite the Scare!!!

2008-03-28T14:01:00.000-07:00

So I was excited that Clifford's mom and sister's came to visit because the hotel they stay at is right across the street from our apartments! It has a heated indoor swimming pool and a spa which meant we got to take Corban swimming! Yay! This is such a rare occasion here so every chance I get I jump right on it! So we took him swimming 2 of the nights they were here! Well I don't know how many of you are aware that pregnant women are not supposed to sit in hot tubs! I didn't know until this lady told me that was in there with me the 2nd night! I am a sucker for hot tubs too dang it! I love them! I was kinda freakin out because the 1st night I sat in it for about 45 minutes and the 2nd night was about a half hour! Well since she told me that I looked at the sign and sure enough it says "if you're pregnant consult a physician before sitting in hot tub!" So the next day I called my doctor and talked to a nurse and I asked her about sitting in hot tubs and her immediate response was "NO" "DO NOT SIT IN THEM!" So then I told her I already did and how long I sat in it and how hot the water was and that I was nervous about the baby! She told me to come in so we could make sure everything was ok and that the heart was still beating! So I immediately went in and it took a couple minutes to find it but sure enough we heard it! Yay! The doctor told me if I was earlier in pregnancy it could cause spinal problems but since her spine is already developed I shouldn't have to worry! Well Good! That made me feel so much better! So now I won't get in a hot tub uless I am not pregnant! I am officially half way done! Yay! I do have to mention how much Corban loves to swim! He holds his breath and goes under water all by himself! It's so funny! Here is a pic of him and his Aunt Heather in the hot tub!

EASTER!!!

2008-03-28T12:23:00.000-07:00

We had a great Easter weekend! Clifford's mom and sister's came to visit us so it was nice to have some company and have something to do for a change! They got here Saturday night so we decided to color easter eggs! It was Corban's first time doing it and he loved every minute of it! It was so much fun to watch him do it! It got a little messy but it was worth it! He did all 11 of them by himself! He cracked one of them...typical for a 2 1/2 year old right! haha Here are some pics of him going to town!

He noticed his hands were dirty so he was showing us! haha

He is concentrating really hard!

Mommy is actually letting me make a mess! This is awesome!
I just had to throw this pic in here! I dont know how to rotate it! Sorry! And yes I lightened my hair! The black was just too much for me and when it grew out it looked like I was going bald because my natural color is so much lighter! Also we can't really afford for me to keep dying it so I figured I would go down to the beauty college and have them do it for me! Well it took 3 people to work on my hair and 5 hours for them to do it! Yes I said 5 hours! Forever! I was so glad to have the black out but when I was finished my hair was bright blonde and orange! Awww So the next day I had my friend from AZ who does hair dye it more and this is how it looks now! Not bad but we'll see when it grows out if you can see my roots or not! All I have to say is I will never dye my hair black again!

This is the finished product! Corban did all of these eggs himself! I must say he did a dang good job! I don't think I could've done that good!

Corban is on a mission to find the easter eggs! We were outside for probably about 10 minutes then we got too cold so we had to go inside! It was fun while it lasted! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

ITS A.................

2008-03-06T12:25:00.000-08:00

So we went to the doctor today just for a regular visit! We weren't supposed to find out what it was because the doctors office I go to they say not till you're at least 22-28 weeks! What the crap is that? I found out with Corban at 18 weeks! I didn't want to wait that long! haha So the doctor was in the room and I asked him if we could find out and he was like"well it's a little early" but then he left the room and when he came back in they moved us to the ultrasound room! We found out its a GIRL! He just did a quick peek so he said it wasn't 100% sure but he was pretty positive it is! Next time we will get a better ultrasound and make sure! haha Her name will be Brighton Mills! I'll put some pics up of my belly soon!

NOT Moving!!!!

2008-03-05T14:28:00.000-08:00

So I just thought I would let everyone know we are not moving back in September now! Clifford went on this amazing travel study with his art class to California and went on several different tours to different companies like Dreamworks, Sony, and art museums! He came home and realized how much he loves art and wants to pursue his career in art! He said if he doesn't at least try then he would hate himself for the rest of his life! So he decided to stay 2 extra semesters instead of graduating in July he won't graduate until next April and take a few more art classes to help him improve and so he can develop a portfolio! He will then apply at a bunch of places including Dreamworks and hopefully land a sweet job doing what he loves! I was bummed at first because I had my mind set on moving and getting out of Rexburg! I don't know if I can handle another winter here! haha I really am ok with it now because all I want is for my husband to be happy! We both feel good about the decision he has made which is a good sign that it's the right decision! I am kinda glad that I won't have to stress about moving 3 weeks after I have the baby now! What a relief! So I am sorry for getting all of your hopes up! haha Hopefully we will be coming to visit in April! That would be the last time we can probably come before the baby comes!

My Bday Present!!!

2008-02-20T18:48:00.000-08:00

Clifford's mom gave us both money for our birthdays! I had a hard time trying to figure out what I wanted to get for myself! I didn't really want to go buy clothes because they won't fit me soon and I didn't want to go buy maternity clothes because I'm not that big yet so I was actually stumped! Normally if I wasn't pregnant I would just go buy clothes and be happy but shoes on the other hand are my other weakness! I love love love shoes! My theory is a girl can never have enough shoes! So we went to Utah this weekend and had a good time! We decided since Clifford didn't have school on Monday we would take advantage and get away for the weekend and have fun for our birthdays! We were at the mall and stopped at the Buckle to look at the shoes and I found not just one, or two, but 3 pairs I just had to buy! I am so excited about them so I decided I would blog about it! I am so excited about them and I want you all to see how cute they really are! I love them so tell me what you think! I can't really wear the flip flops yet but I figured since we are moving back to AZ I definately need to get back in flip flop mode and I thought these ones were adorable so I couldn't pass them up!

Arizona and Durango

2008-02-10T20:48:00.000-08:00

I finally updating my blog from Christmas break!!! I know it's already February and I am just now putting them up! So here is some of the stuff we did while we were home! We also got to go to Durango for a couple days with my entire family so that was awesome we all got to go! That was probably the last trip in a long time that we will all be there since my nephews are starting to go on missions now! That is just crazy to me! My NEPHEWS are old enough to go on a mission! I just love my family and spending all the time I get to spend with them! They are great!

4 Corners!!! By the way any of you who haven't been to the 4 Corners, don't go! It's 3 bucks a person and you drive up to this concrete slab, walk up the stairs, and take a picture, and you're done! It was really super cold and windy which made it worse so maybe that's why too but really it's nothing special! Trust me! We were in and out of there within 5 minutes! haha

On the Polar Express in Durango, Colorado!!
My whole family took up one cart on the train!!

Me and Corban and the Polar Express!!

Corban and his cousin Taylor sledding in Durango!

Me, Tausha, and Stefany having fun with our cameras at Brooke's wedding! haha

AZ HERE WE COME!!!

2008-02-07T12:36:00.000-08:00

I just want everyone to know that we have decided to move back home! Yay! I am so excited! Clifford will graduate in July and I and I am due in August so we will be moving back in September! We thought we would just stay here and live because it's cheaper but then after thinking about it we decided there is more job opportunities for Clifford there! So he will work until he either gets accepted to PA school or Nursing school! Plus it's more exciting to live close to family and friends! You better be excited right now and we should all just throw a party! I can't wait! But September is still forever away so I just need to be patient and take it one step at a time! I think I'm more excited to move home that I am to have a baby right now! haha

POTTY TRAINING!!!

2008-01-17T18:22:00.001-08:00

OK So I need some help with potty training! I am starting to potty train Corban and I need some advice on where to start and what to do! Especially those of you with boys! How did you do it? So lets say I start tomorrow what do I do?...Do I just start out the day by putting underwear on him or do I put pull ups on him? Which work best? I really need to get him trained before the baby comes or I will be sorry! He turns 3 in July so I think now is a perfect time anyway! I can use all the advice I can get so please let me know what works, what doesn't work, and all the things I need to do to get this ball rolling! Thanks in advance for the advice!

GREAT NEWS!!!

2008-01-17T11:57:00.000-08:00

I am PREGNANT! I am 10 weeks now! I feel pretty good so far! I am not sick at all and with Corban I threw up the entire 9 months! Maybe this one is a girl! We shall see! I'm not getting my hopes up though so I have my mind set that it's gonna be another boy!

I am sorry I haven't put any new pics up in a while but they will be coming soon! I have a bunch from Christmas break and our trip to Durango so I will put them up soon! I promise! I hope you all are doing well! Happy Day!

Girls Night Out!

2007-12-23T15:26:00.000-08:00

So last night I went with my mother in law and sister in laws to the Spicery in Glendale and Glendale Glitters! We had alot of fun! The spicery is the cutest ever and the food was actually very very good! After dinner we went for a little ride on the horse carriage around and saw all the beautiful Christmas lights! It was fun! We walked around Glendale glitters and got hot chocolate and had a grand ol time! We even saw the Grinch! Here are a few pics! And YES I DYED MY HAIR BLACK! haha I just had the urge one night so I did! Let me know what you guys think of it! Be honest!

WHEN IT COMES TO ARGUMENTS OR SOMETHING (NOT SAYING WE ARGUE ALOT BUT WHEN WE DO) I HAVE TO BE THE ONE WITH THE LAST WORD AND I AM ALWAYS RIGHT! ANYWHERE ELSE I AM VERY EASYGOING AND JUST GO WITH THE FLOW!

2) NOW THAT I HAVE LIVED IN IDAHO FOR A YEAR I WOULD MUCH RATHER BE OUTSIDE IN THE SNOW THAN IN THE RAIN! AT LEAST IN SNOW YOU CAN STAND OUTSIDE AND NOT GET SOAKING WET AFTER YOU JUST GOT ALL READY TO GO OUT!
EVEN THOUGH IT'S FREEZING COLD YOU DON'T GET SOAKED! I HATE RAIN!

3) CLIFFORD SAYS THAT I AM A REALLY GOOD COOK! SINCE I HAVE BEEN A STAY AT HOME MOM WITH CORBAN I HAVE BEEN COOKING USUALLY ABOUT 5 DAYS A WEEK AND I DON'T MEAN TO BRAG BUT I HAVE ACTUALLY MADE SOME REALLY GOOD RECIPES! ALSO I HAVE ACTUALLY ENJOYED COOKING JUST AS MUCH AS I DO EATING IT! DON'T GET ME WRONG, I AM A HUGE SUCKER FOR EATING OUT THOUGH!

4) MY ABSOLUTE DREAM IN LIFE IS TO BE AN ASTRONAUT! I REALLY REALLY WANT TO GO TO THE MOON! IF ANY OF YOU KNOW HOW I CAN DO IT LET ME KNOW! MY 2 OTHER DREAM JOBS ARE TO BE A BRAIN SURGEON AND A PILOT!

5) I REALLY REALLY WANT TO TAKE SCUBA DIVING CLASSES AND BECOME A PROFESSIONAL SCUBA DIVER!

6) THE 2 PLACES I WOULD LOVE TO TRAVEL TO BEFORE I DIE WOULD BE AFRICA SO I CAN GO ON AN AFRICAN SAFARI AND ANTARCTICA SO I CAN SEE THE PENGUINS AND GO ICE FISHING!

ALRIGHTY THEN! HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY 6 THINGS! NOW I TAG EVERYONE THAT HASN'T DONE IT YET! I HOPE YOU GUYS ALL HAVE A MERRY CHRISSY POO! HAPPY HOLIDAY SHOPPING!

This weekend we went with our friends Roy, Alisha and their little boy Elijah to find christmas trees in the mountains. We also went sledding and had a fun time hiking in the snow! We saw two moose and Corban and Elijah went nuts!!! They had a blast!

We took Corban bowlin last weekend for his first time. He did good for a first timer! He actually beat Clifford on the second game! Heres a few pics!

Do you think he's excited?

Check out his release! He's got the form of a pro!

We weren't able to convince him that it was a bowling ball, not a shot put!

Some Halloween Picy-Poo's for Everyone!

So for Halloween we took Corban trick or treating up and down our street! He had a blast and kept sneeking pieces of candy between doors! He was trying his hardest to say trick or treat to everyone, it was the cutest! Alright Tausha these are the most recent pics! I will try to take more pics, but we don't get out much so I will do my best!
