Forever Glascock's

Guess who turned 4....

2012-01-22T21:12:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we celebrated a Princess's birthday in the Glascock home...I have been looking back through all my pictures from the last 4 years and remembering the moment she entered our family. I still can't believe it has already been 4 years since Miss Traci Lue joined our family. And let me tell you, we wouldn't be the same without her.

To celebrate her birthday, she wanted an all girls party, (seriously she kicked out Daddy and brother and it was just the girls) 8 3-4 year old little girls, dressed in pj's enjoying Traci's Brunch menu of choice and watching Tangled. Once the party was over, we told Traci that she was getting a little date night with Daddy and Mommy for her birthday. I told her she could pick any where she wanted to go and you know what she picked... GRANDMA'S HOUSE! That is right, we went to Grandma's house and had all her favorite foods, chicken nuggets, fries, cheese pizza and Mac & Cheese. Then we took her shopping for a new dress and some shoes.

I am so grateful to be the mother of this wonderful 4 year old. She is such a joy and a blessing to our family. Happy Birthday Traci Lue!!

Guess who is the BIG 28????

2011-12-23T16:18:00.001-08:00

I am finally going to sit down and actually post about.....ME!! I figure seeing I post about everyone else, it might be a change to do a little posting about what I am up to.

On Wednesday I turned the BIG 28! Now there really isn't anything special about turning 28, except my sisters keep reminding me that I am now that much closer to 40! (Who Cares about turning 30 right!) LOL!!!

My day was spent like any other day, except I woke up to my 5 year old cuddling into me and saying, "Happy Birthday Mom, I love you so much!" What a way to start your day right! The rest of my birthday was spent baking and frosting Christmas cookies with my kids, a Girls Night out for dinner, then some vegging out time with my handsome husband. Not too bad if I do say so my self! So here is to a great birthday! I look forward to what this new year has in store for me. :)

P.S. This is my birthday dress my hubby bought for me!! Just had to show it off because I like it so much!!

Pictures with Santa

2011-12-04T20:25:00.000-08:00

This year at our Ward's Christmas Party, I was asked to take the pictures of each kid with Santa! I loved it!! Watching the kids get excited and even the few who didn't want to sit on Santa's lap was fun. I loved watching my kids get closer to the line and my little Natali when she got right up to the stage looked over and saw Santa for the first time started to jump up and down saying "I SEE SANTA! I SEE SANTA!!" This year, I had ZERO criers!! That's right, nobody cried when they sat on Santa's lap. (Last year Traci wouldn't even get close to touching him.) So here are the pictures from our Christmas party.

Guess who turned 1.....

I am in TROUBLE!!

2011-10-25T15:03:00.001-07:00

See this face! This is the face of an 11month, yes 11 month old little girl who is keeping me on all 10 toes, all day long!! Let me explain...you see my other 2 girls, never walked until their first birthday....Jami here, well she has been walking since about 9 1/2 months. NOW she is CLIMBING!!! Her newest venture is my kitchen table. Sunday she decided she wanted to sneak back into the kitchen, and climb up on to my table and eat her sister's dinners. I used this a photo op. for her lovely book I am working on.. I can't wait to add this page in there.

I tell my parents how crazy she is and they just laugh and shake their heads... my dad today when he was watching her, saw her in action. Talking her little play chair, moving it to my kitchen, CLIMBING up on to the back of the chair to try and get whatever she can on top of my counters. Yeah, I am soooooo in TROUBLE with this one. :)

Ready for Halloween!

2011-10-25T15:01:00.000-07:00

This last weekend, Uncle Jon and Aunt Emi hosted a Halloween Party for the kids! The had a blast! From bobbing for apples, a cookie walk, cookie decorating, and a necklace making, they all enjoyed them selves.

My Jami...

2011-09-26T15:18:00.000-07:00

I just love this pictures and had to share!!! Love my big girl!!!

It's Bronco Football Baby!!!

2011-09-14T16:29:00.000-07:00

That is right! It is Bronco season at our house!!! I love this speical time with my kids. They know that on every game day, we get to put on our bronco gear and have a bronco party while we watch the game! They are so cute, they ask everyday when is bronco day? So if you need a place to watch the Bronco's play, then you know where to go!!

Look what Traci did....

2011-07-25T05:40:00.000-07:00

We finally cut Traci's hair! For the longest time, she would consider her hair being cut when Papa would trim her bangs. Recently she hated, meaning, cry scream and everything when mommy would need to brush her hair out. Her hair would tangle so easily. So I told her if we cut it, her hair wouldn't hurt when we brushed it. She has been afraid to cut her hair for 1, Papa joked and said she wouldn't be a princess anymore if she did cut it. (Thanks Papa) 2, Her favorite movie is Tangled, and her hair is just like Tangled and she thought if she cut it, it wouldn't grow back. But I finally got her to understand that it will grow back and so she said she wanted a change.
Here is the before...

Making the first Cut (we cut off 8 inches)

After!

Doesn't she look so adorable!!

Proudly showing off her new do!! LOVE you Traci Lue.

What has been going one with Neilsen?

Happy Easter

2011-04-24T22:36:00.000-07:00

Happy Easter Everyone!

Look Who's 2!

2011-04-24T22:21:00.000-07:00

My little Natali is officially 2! This year her birthday actually fell on Easter Sunday, CRAZY!!! So we decided to celebrate her birthday on Saturday and do just a fun little party for her which included an easter egg hunt. I found these awesome eggs with candy already in them with Dora and Diego on them. And what kind of party did she want....DORA and DIEGO!!! We had so much fun and still can't believe that she is 2. Our family wouldn't be the same with out her. Happy Birthday beautiful girl!

Guess who?

2011-03-27T22:34:00.001-07:00

So my parents are spending spring break in St. George. And my dad, wanted an updated picture of all the grandkids before he left. I love it! We had to wait for Jami to finally wake up to get the picture taken, then once we thought all the kids were ready and would be good for the picture, we get them all settled into their spots....then we added Jami into the

picture. And can you guess who decided they didn't want their picture taken anymore.....?

What

It's offical....

2011-03-09T12:54:00.000-08:00

OK Blogging world, I have finally finished it and am ready to share it with all of you. One of my goals I made at the beginning of the year was to get out there more with my Photography business. I have been holding back for quite some time. I have just been doing hit and miss with photo jobs and after everyone telling me that I REALLY need to take this to the next level, I said OK! So it took me 2 months longer then I wanted to but its finished and I am ready to start sharing and getting people booked for some pictures. So go on look, tell your friends and everyone you know. I am pretty inexpensive on my pricing, but I really don't think pictures should cost a person an arm and a leg. Here is my link to my photo blog.

Thank You for your support in my new adventure.

Picture of the Day

2011-02-28T20:41:00.001-08:00

"Hello, My name is Traci Lue and I have attitude!"

Earlier today, Traci decided she didn't need to wear her pants anymore. Then she found my sunglasses and put them on and from across the room looked at me and said, "Mom, you need to take a picure of me!"

Nothing like your 3 year old telling you how it should be.

Family time at the Dentist...

2011-02-28T20:30:00.000-08:00

Today we got to start our week off by a family trip to the Dentist for our 6 month cleanings. I was a little worried how each kid would act. Neilsen has been a little hesitant the last few times and Traci just kind of followed in her brothers foot steps. This was also going to be Natali's first offical checkup.

Well Neilsen was the first to go in and he did AMAZING!! He thought it was so cool that his teeth were nice and shiny, oh and he got his own tooth brush and a super cool toy. Then came Traci, she suprised me and did AMAZING as well. She was so cute sitting in the chair letting them check out her teeth and clean them with her favorite bubble gum flavor paste. I haven't broken the news to her yet that she has to go back to the denist for a small cavity that needs to be filled, so not looking forward to that appointment. Some how too, Traci walked away with getting 4 braclets out of the toy box. LOL!!! Then it was Natali's turn. She thought she was the coolest person because she got to sit in the big kid chair all by her self. They let the chair go up and down, which she thought was like the rocket ride at Chucky Cheese and didn't want to get off it at all. She also let the Dr. check out her teeth and he started to clean them, and in true Natali fashion, she started licking the toothpaste right off the brush and off his gloves. :) Oh Nat!

I came home so proud of my children for being such big kids at the Dentist. Lets just hope it stays this way.

My Valentines Sweeties

2011-02-20T22:12:00.000-08:00

Happy Late Valentines!

Guess who is 3?

2011-02-20T21:54:00.001-08:00

In January Traci Lue turned 3!!! She has waited all year for her birthday! And I am not kidding. This girl every time we would go to friends or cousins birthday party she would start to cry and want nothing to do with the party because it wasn't "her" party! I thought her birthday would never get here for her sakes. LOL She was so cute about her birthday this year. She has grow so

much in the past year I just couldn't believe it. Our family sure would be the same with out our beautiful Traci Lue. I am working on her 3year book right now and thought it would be fun to post a little flash back of some Traci Lue.

About the funniest thing happened when I took her to her well child check up. Traci is my little "girly girl" and everyday her dad calls her his princess too. She now has 2 princess outfits complete with dress, shoes and crowns! (She also reminds me she is missing a few princess outfits she REALLY REALLY WANTS!) Anyway, at her appoint

ment

Traci was asked a few questions by her doctor. Her doctor as her if she new her name, how old she was and if she was a boy or a girl. This was Traci's response to that, "I am a girl. I am 3 years old. and My name is Traci Lue Glascock and I am a Princess.

" Oh Traci!!

I love you my little mini me! I can't wait to see what this year has in store for you.

December in Review

2011-01-06T07:53:00.000-08:00

Sorry I am now just getting to posting about December. It was quite a month. We enjoyed celebrating 5 birthdays in December. That's right 5! (My sis-in-law Emi, my nephew Donaven who turned the big 1, my two sisters JaNeil and JoAnna birthdays, and of course my 27th birthday!)

December was filled with lots of fun things. The first big snow fall happened which finally caused a snow day from school for Neilsen. He enjoyed

playing out s

ide in the snow as long as mom would let him.

Then there was Christmas. I LOVED Christmas this year.

Finally my kids (minus Jami and Natali) really got into Christmas and Santa! We had our countdown out and all our Christmas up before December hit! LOL!! Neilsen and Traci loved singing their favorite Christmas song everyday. They sang it even after Santa had already came to town. :) After spending Christmas early morning opening our presents here and seeing what Santa had brought them we lo

aded everyone in the car and drove to American Falls to spend Christmas day with Chris's family. I just loved how into Christmas my kids were and they were just so much fun to watch open their presents from everyone. Each of them got some awesome thin

gs. Traci's favorite gift by far was her Cinderella get up from her Grandma and Grandpa Glascock. They got her the dress, the purse, gloves, ring, necklace and "lips" too! The only thing they left out which she quickly reminded them that she doesn't have the Cinderella SHOES!!

(Good thing her birthday is in January!)

Neilsen had a truck/car Christmas. And he enjoys trapping himself up in his room way from his sisters to enjoy them. And Natali finally got her own babies just like her big sister. Santa even thought of her when he brought both girls a princess dress up trunk filled with shoes, jewelery and an dress up outfit. So now she gets to have fun all day long being just like her big sister butwith HER own stuff!

We had fun ending December right by bringing in the new Year at two family parties. We had a blast with Grandma and Grandpa's Pizza party. Then Daddy showed up from work early and instead of taking the kids home, we went out to my aunts house and let the kids celebrate a little bit more by playing with their cousins over there and just enjoyed a good time talking and playing games with some more family. We did make it home before midnight and Traci and Neilsen were awake still to watch the ball drop and have a New Years Toast with mom and dad!

So as you can see we had an AWESOME December. I am glad it is 2011! I can't wait to see what this new year brings. I know there are some changes in store for our family this year and I can't wait to see where it takes us!

GO BIG BLUE!!

2010-11-21T10:38:00.000-08:00

WE LOVE BRONCO GAME DAY AT OUR HOUSE!!!

My friend Cheree made the girls these matching tutus. And we just had to get our pictures done now that Jami is here and matches her sisters!

Aren't they just stinking cute!!!!

GO BRONCO'S!!!!!!

SHE IS HERE!!!

2010-11-21T10:16:00.000-08:00

Our "not so little" Jami Lyn has arrived! Now I say not so little because well, she topped the charts at weighing in 9lbs 5oz and was22 inches long!! Yes for the record she is my biggest baby!!She is such a joy to have in our home. When Neilsen went to school this last week, his teacher asked him about his new baby sister, he said she was so cute but she sleeps ALOT!! He just makes me smile. Everyday be when he wakes up he has to give his sister a kiss. When he leaves for school he gives her a kiss goodbye, and she is the first thing he searches out when he gets home.

Traci is being my little helper and makes sure that everything is going ok. She loves to help out in every way and is content knowing her sister is just in the room with her.

Now when it comes to Natali she thinks that Jami is all hers! The only thing I can't seem to get her to remember is her sisters name. She calls her Tegan all the time. Which is my nieces name and we just have to correct her that Tegan is at her home and this is Jami. Pretty funny. But it has been hard with Natali because she doesn't understand why mommy can't do the things with her like she used to. The first few days were really hard, when she would cry for me because she wants me to hold her and pick her up and I can't. She is kind of getting used to the idea of mommy not being able to do things but its still hard.

I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for sending this new sweet angel to our home. She is just a wonderful addition to our family. She is probably one of the most cuddle babies out of all my kids so far. And she is making it easy on me right now because she is a WONDERFUL SLEEPER!!!

She will be 2 weeks tomorrow and I just can't believe it. So here our the pictures I took of her this last week. I hope you enjoy!

Our Halloween!

2010-11-03T21:46:00.001-07:00

My kids were so excited to dress up for Halloween that they asked me very day to wear their costumes! Finally when Saturday came, I let them wear their costumes all day long!!! They were all in heaven!!!! It was such a fun Halloween. Depisite the fact that my son let me know that our house was not as cool like his best friend Landens! Landen's house has spider webs and spiders and everything mom! He said I needed to decorate our house up too! (Thanks Brittaney!) LOL

Here are my cute little kiddos on Halloween.

Natali

2010-10-13T13:33:00.000-07:00

Ok so she deserved her own post today. My kids for some reason lately are camera hungry so everytime they see my camera out the want me to take pictures of them.

Well Natali just wants to watch her brother and sister act silly infront of the camera. But I did manage to get a few shots of her, and one of them is this picture:
In the words of Natali, which she says all the time, this is her "HUH" face!! Can't you just hear her saying it now.

The Countdown has begun....

2010-10-13T13:27:00.000-07:00

In just 3 1/2 more weeks, our little bundle of joy will be here! Now that its October I have kind of FINALLY got kicked into gear getting things ready for this little girl to get here.

It seems like time is just going by so fast and I keep telling my self if I don't get things going I am going to run out of time and then I really am going to panic.

Today my husband finally noticed my "to do" list on the fridge, and he looked at me and said, "I see you have made your nesting list" Thanks Dear!! LOL :) He did help by doing my dishes and vacuuming for me which was really nice.

It is just crazy to think that she will be here so soon. I am excited to get her here but at the same time I am scared.

So here is to getting all my "To Do" items finished, before little Jami gets here!

GO BIG BLUE!!

2010-10-13T13:20:00.000-07:00

Ok so I haven't posted for a while and boy is there alot going on. But I did want show off our BSU Pride at my house!!

Every game day my kids know its Bronco day and we get to get all decked out in our BSU colors! Thanks to my friend Cheree she has made my girls the cutest Bronco Tutu's (which they just love!) and so on the next game I will get a picture of their new Bronco outfits but here is what my kids look like when its game day at my house!!

GO BRONCOS!!!!!

6 years ago...

2010-07-23T12:01:00.000-07:00

6 years ago today I married my wonderful husband! I am so thankful for all that he has done for our little family these last 6 years and look forward to the many memories that are to come.

Last night when I thought I was going to pull my hair out because my two wonderful daughters thought it was a fun game to not go to bed, in walks my amazing husband carrying a dozen red roses, a card and a grin on his face when he looked at me and said, "I will take it from here." Me being the emotional prego that I am, just started crying. I knew he had taken the whole weekend off to be with me and the kids, but I had no idea he was getting off early so I wouldn't have to put kids to be last night. It was a perfect gift after the crazy time I was having.

Today we are shipping the kids out and having some alone time, which we haven't had in a LONG TIME!!!! And just enjoying each others company.

Thank you for all the great memories so far Chris and I can't wait to see what is in store for us still.

Baby # 4 is????????

2010-07-02T13:44:00.000-07:00

I had my 20 week ultrasound this week! And well I won't keep you waiting any longer but baby #4 is ?????? Well we don't know. It's true, this wonderful little baby decided it wants to remain a mystery! So for the first time, everyone, including my HUSBAND (who hates suprises) has to wait until Nov. 8 2010!

WE ARE MOVING!!

2010-07-02T13:28:00.000-07:00

YES!!!!!! It finally is going to happen. We have finally found a place of our own. After hitting the 1 year mark of living in with my parents, we are moving out! I am so grateful for the time we have got to be living with my parents getting things back in order. It has been quite a blessing. The hardest part we have had was finding the right place. We were in hopes that we could maybe be able to buy our own home, but it's just not in our cards right now. Honestly we felt good about it though, seeing that next October, Chris will be finished with his Master's Degree (YES!!!!) and not knowing if we will be staying in this area for work, its almost better not to buy a house just yet.

But the process of finding a place to rent has been very depressing! I have cried on my husbands shoulders many nights because things just weren't working out right. We wanted to try and find a house so the kids could have their own back yard and space, but nothing seemed to be right for us.

FINALLY we say a for rent sign on these apartment complexes in town, I will admit that I had my doubts. I almost felt like a failure because I was taking my family back to an apartment and not a house. So we went to look just to see what they looked like. We took our kids with us, and when Neilsen, my 4 yr old, walked in his eyes lite up like Christmas morning and he looked at me and said, "Mom this is going to be our house!" He was so excited and went through every room and told me what he found in all of them. Right then I knew, that it didn't matter if we lived in house or an apartment, as long as we were together in our own space is all that mattered. Besides a home is what you make of it right?

So we took the application for it that day, asked if they had anything besides an upstairs available. She thought she might have a downstairs but would let us know. By the time we dropped it back off, and got all the necessary paperwork in, we were told she had a TOWNHOUSE available. HELLO!!! What more could I ask for. So to make a long post short. WE GOT THE TOWNHOUSE! I am so excited and so relieved that things are starting to look up from here. We signed out contract today and walked away with our keys, and can start moving in on Monday.

We are so excited to finally be getting back into our own place. Once everything is in I will post pictures. But I had to post and share my exciting news. :)

PICTURES!!!

2010-06-20T22:08:00.000-07:00

OK, for being a photographer, I have been slacking in the department of updating my kid's pictures! But seeing that this crazy Idaho weather, has been hit and miss lately for the photo shot I planned with my kids, I finally got it done! So here are my favorite shots of my kids from this weekend's picture adventure! Natali's 1yr old pictures, Neilsen's 4yr old pictures and well, Traci needed updated too so here are her 2 1/2 yr old pictures!!

Happy Father's Day!

2010-06-20T22:05:00.001-07:00

I know, it is very sad the I have not had a post since Easter! Now that things don't seem to be as crazy right now, I wanted to just first and for most say HAPPY FATHERS DAY to my wonderful husband. He is such an amazing man and does so much for our family! Thank you for all you do! I love you honey!!

HAPPY EASTER

2010-04-04T15:02:00.001-07:00

So I thought this picture says it all! Chris and I took the kiddos out to do some easter pictures done in their outfits! This was one of my favorites from this afternoon.

I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their Easter Sunday!

Photo of the Day

2010-02-15T20:37:00.000-08:00

So my aunt posted this picture the other day on Facebook, and being the photo person I am, I asked her to email me the picture, which she did. So I took the liberty of using my made photo editing skills and just enhanced the picture and voila! This picture is just to awesome to not share. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

Traci is 2!!

2010-01-21T17:39:00.000-08:00

As I woke up this morning, I couldn't believe that 2 years ago I was in the hospital with my new baby girl! Traci was born bright and early in the morning, (thanks to a wonderful scheduled C-Section) and she still has like this time clock that wakes her up at the same time every morning. Regardless of the time she went to bed!! :)
I love watching her grow and learn every day. She is just so amazing and such a wonderful helper. We call her our little mommy. And no joke, she tends to repeat EVERYTHING that I say. As I am finishing up her book for this year, it is crazy to see how much she has changed in just one year!
So here is to you my little Miss Traci Lue! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Traci Lue just hours old. Traci Lue on her 1st Birthday
Traci Lue NOW!!

Mommy is one Happy Camper!!

2010-01-12T13:39:00.001-08:00

You see this cute little girl standing on that bathroom sink? All decked out in her princess pretties from her Aunt Neil & Uncle Travis for Christmas. Well let me tell you, she has just made me the happiest mom ever!!!!! Over Christmas Holiday we spent it in the Malad with my in-laws. And the whole time I was there, I was watching my little Traci Lue very closely and I new that once we got home and settled back down, we were going to attempt the big "P" word, Potty Training!!!!
Now for any one who knows me knows, that I had a heck of a time potty training my son Neilsen. I spent lots of days just crying and frustrated that I was doing something wrong with him, or that I started to soon with him because he just seemed to have taken quite a long time to finally get it down. It was quite the celebration once he finally got the hang of it all, that I looked at my mom and said, "Traci better do better then this or I so not doing it!" LOL.
I wasn't even planning trying to potty train Traci this early but hey, when she comes to me and is wanting to do it, by all means I say give it a shot. I mean, who wouldn't want to be down to only one kid in diapers right!
SO last week we started the Potty Training. The first day was a little rusty but by day two, I had a feeling that I just might have trained by her 2 birthday. (Which is next Thursday).
I am very proud and freaking excited to report that with just 6 days of starting her potty training, we have head OVERALL 3 huge accidents and 2 baby accidents (non of them were the poppy!) That is right my not even 2 year old has pretty much potty trained herself! THANK GOODNESS!!!!!!! We are going on day 3 of accident free!
I am so proud of her, and I am still amazed to believe that she is doing so well. So to any mothers who have had a rough time with potty training, trust me.........it does get better! :)
WAY TO GO TRACI LUE!!!!

I will miss you Uncle Neil

2009-11-29T20:27:00.000-08:00

I have debated on what I wanted to say all weekend about my Uncle Neil, alot of my family members have posted little tid bits here and there on facebook and stuff but I just wanted to take a little minute and just dedicate this post to my Uncle Neil.
Thanksgiving seemed to be going like a pretty normal Thanksgiving at the Lang home. My dad and I worked on our pies the night before, like we always do and fixing up all the awesome food that we would be cooking up in the morning. We put the appetizer foods out on the table around 11am. and the wassel starts warming in the crock pot filling the house with its wonderful aroma. Because my dad had to go to work that night, our Thanksgiving dinner was eaten around 3pm. and we just vegged out the rest of the night. Seemed to be going like any normal night. Up until 9:30pm that is. My mom got a phone call from her sister that lives in Utah saying that my Uncle had passed out in his hotel room and they could revive him. They were taking him to the hospital in Sandy and she would call back with and date. My uncle was in Salt Lake at the time on business with 2 of his kids. Within 15 minutes of the phone call, the next one came letting us know that he was gone. You never can prepare yourself for those kinds of moments in life. It really makes you look back at your own life and just be thankful for the moments you have.
My uncle ended up having a massive heart attack and left this earth at the age of 45. He leaves behind a wife and 6 kids and 7 grand kids. It was only a few weeks ago that we had gotten together to bless two of the grand kids.
My uncle was a awesome man and so full of love for everyone and anyone that he came into contact with. I will miss seeing is big beaming smile when he walks in a room. Thank you Uncle Neil for all the wonderful memories and for being an example in my life. I know that we will be together again. I love you. and We will miss you.

My beautiful work...

2009-11-22T21:23:00.000-08:00

So I just had to put these in a post.
Last weekend while I was in Malad/Pocatello, I took some family pictures for my sister and her husbands siblings families! Well needless to say while I was editing the pictures tonight I was just so proud of a couple of the ones I did so I have deemed the post worthy! This awesome picture is my beautiful sister and her hubby and the sweet baby bump is my nephew!

This one is my sister's niece Shayla! It was just too sweet not show off!
And this I just thought was fun! These awesome kiddos are mine and my niece and nephews!

My Pretty Purple Princess....

2009-11-02T22:19:00.000-08:00

So I thought this deserved a post of it's own! I keep forgetting to post them so here it is! The last time I went into Costco my sister and I had to check out the cute holiday dresses they had start putting out. I was excited because I knew that Traci could actually/FINALLY wear one! They smallest size they make the dresses are 2T and I was just excited cause I knew Traci could fit into them. Anyway...We were looking at them and came across the all purple one! Traci's favorite color is...purple...and once she saw it she was like "oww purple!" So I just had to get it right!!
That sunday what dress did she want to wear....her pretty purple one! So I decked her out with a matching purple flower that went perfect! I also planned a head and put sponge rollers in her hair the night before so she had curly hear too!! She was just dang cute and she new it!!!

Happy Halloween

2009-11-02T22:05:00.000-08:00

I thought that I should put up some cute pictures of my kiddos from Halloween. Neilsen was so excited to be Bumble Bee this year that he wanted to wear his costume everyday. I took the kids to our Trunk-r-Treat at the church and what was funny, Neilsen was waiting to go walk around and was just enjoying looking at all the different costumes. Well next thing we see was a little boy wearing a Mega Tron costume. When I told him to look at it, Neilsen took this defensive stances, turned and said, "MEGATRON! Where!!" It was too funny! I am sure that if that kid would have walked by us he would of tried to take him down!!

Traci of course enjoyed being dolled up as Dorthy! She also enjoyed the red lipstick I let her wear. And then I had my little Lion with me helping pass out Candy.

All in all Halloween was fun this year. Enjoy the cute photos of them too!

Thank You Swine FLU....

2009-09-22T07:21:00.000-07:00

Yes it has happened! The Swine Flu or H1N1 has entered my house! Well it all started last monday when my husband got sick with the flu. So by Wednesday we took him in to see what he had, and then said he didn't have the flu just a viral infection, thanks to him, I got his wonderful cold, but come Saturday, poor little Natali...that is right, my little not quite 5 month old little girl came down with a high fever and just feeling so crappy. We ended up taking her to the ER by the end of the day and yes She has SWINE FLU!! Poor Nat!! The good part, she was a candidate for recieving the vaccine for it, the bad part, the vaccine doesn't make her feel better it just helps speeds the process up of having the flu by knocking off one day! WHOOPY!!! So not only does mommy not feel good but she is pretty much the only person that Natali will even go to when she is ready for nap or bed time. Oh the joys of being a mom....

Now this is FUNNY!!

2009-08-25T18:41:00.001-07:00

So here is one of the funniest things that I have seen in a while...We were courious to see how much Natali had grown before we got the actual numbers from her doctors appointment. So one day I decided I wanted to compare my two girls together. Well this is the result I got..... Natali is the baby and she is 4 months, Traci is 19 months. That is right!!! my infant is almost as tall as my toddler!! We took Natali to the doctors today and her nickname rings true "CHUNKY MONKEY!" Natali weighed in at a whomping 19lbs and 27 inches!!! Boy she is sure eating well!! (all breast milk I promise!!!)

She is 4 months already...

2009-08-25T18:35:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Natali turned 4 months. I can't believe how fast time has flown by. She is just getting so big. Here are just some few shots of my little girl that I took of her yesterday!!

About Time...

2009-08-25T18:18:00.000-07:00

August fun...

So I finally thought it might be a good idea to get the pictures off my camera and finally post some. So here are just a few fun shots of August!!

I am going to be an AUNT!!

2009-08-10T23:02:00.000-07:00

I finally get the chance to say that I am going to be an aunt!! Well technically speaking I already got to say that seeing my sister-in-law already has three kids but it is just different when it's my sister!!
So finally I am not the only "Lang" contributing to the grandkid pool here! Seeing that I have had 3 kids in the last 3 years it is about time that some one else pitches in here! LOL
Don't get me wrong, I have loved my kids being the only grandkids for my parents to spoil, but come I know how it was growing up with not a whole lot of cousins to play with on one of my parents sides of the family and I just know what it feels like to be the "OLDEST" or only one. So when my sister annoucned she is having a baby in December I was so excited for her to be a mommy, and for a new grandkid to come in the mix. I told her she needed to have a boy so that mom and dad could be even on the numbers seeing I have 1 boy and 2 girls. Guess what she is having....a BOY!! :)
WAY TO GO JaNeil and Travis!!!!

5 Years...and Eternity to Go!!

2009-07-24T20:12:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Chris and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. It is crazy to think it has already been 5 years. Chris took the day off of work and I told him that I had the afternoon planned. We started our day out by attending a session at the temple. That was such an awesome way to start our day out together. The funniest part, we got there and got in the session at about he same time that we were sealed 5 years ago! Oh the memories! After that, we had to go back home and pick up our little side kick for the day. Seeing that I am still nursing and Natali refuses a bottle, she got to tag along with us. Which was fine cause she pretty much slept the whole time. I had planned that we would do 5 different things and all of them would have something to do with the number 5. Once we got to dinner I suprised Chris with my anniversary gift for him. I had made him a photo book that celebrated us and the last 5 years. We ended the night by coming back home, and eating nachos and watching the Mirror has 2 Faces, (both thing we ate and watched on our wedding night.) It was a perfect day. Here are just some blast from the bast wedding pictures I thought you all might enjoy seeing.

Traci and the shoes...

2009-07-15T22:28:00.001-07:00

So for anyone who knows me, the last thing I would do is teach my daughter to be a girly girl. Well one of my dads friends from work , gave us a bunch of little girl stuff. Mainly abunch of older little girl clothes but in this batch was a pair of those dress up high hills. Once I saw them I knew Traci would love them, I didn't think she would be able to walk in them quite yet, but I reguardless she would love them. She is in this phase of putting all of our shoes on, for some reason she loves to try and wear her brothers sandals, she falls everytime she puts them on so in my mind I was thinking well she can barely walk in her brothers shoes let alone these little hills! Boy was I WRONG!!!!

The minute she put the shoes on she was just cruzing the living room like she was born to wear them!! As you will be able to see from the pictures, she had to get all dressed up to wear them, and didn't want to wear anything else. It was even bed time and she still couldn't give them up!! Oh and I better not leave out her purse either!

I LOVE YOU TRACI!!!

New Smile...

2009-07-14T23:20:00.000-07:00

Well I seem to keep forgetting to post the fun pictures from our last trip to Malad. I promise to get them up by the end of the week.
But I did want to just say something that I am excited about that is happening. Well I am excited I am pretty sure Chris is getting scared. If you any of you know my husband, one of the things you might have taken notice to is that he never has an open teething showing smile. He also covers his mouth when he really starts to laughing. Well ever since I have meet my husband this is how he has always been. After we were married I asked him why he does it. Well he hates his teeth. Its not that they are bad, they just are crocked and stuff and well he just doesn't want people to see. I have told him for a while that I was going to put him in braces so he can feel comfortable with himself. Come to find out when he was younger they had started the process of fixing his teeth, and when it came down to getting the braces put on his parents backed out and said "Your teeth are fine, its not like you are having problems. So we are just going to leave them" Ya they pretty much just didn't want to fork out the money for it! That just doesn't sit well with me. Having gone through 41/2 years of having to wear braces, I just can't see why his parents just didn't do it.
Well I finally made Chris call and get an appointment scheduled for him to see an orthodontist. Its sad when the Dr. even said that his parents did the biggest disserves to him by not putting him in braces. So now we get to fix it and fork out the money. He is worth every penny of it. So I am excited that we are starting this process for him. He is a little scared seeing that he has to do an expander for 6 months first, which is REALLY going to suck, and then he will get the braces put on. But atleast he will be done with it all in about a year and half!! I looked at him and said, "Hey what a better anniversary gift then to say your wife is getting you a new smile!" (our 5 year is next thursday!!)
I will keep you up dated on how things go. Can't wait for the whining to begin! My husband I swear is the biggest panzy ever!!! He gets a cold and the world stops!! I can't wait to see what how he will be when his whole mouth is completly hurting!!!!

check this out...

2009-06-28T18:57:00.000-07:00

I got the the liberty of doing a family photo shoot this weekend. It was so fun, and well it was for my Aunt Cori. Part of the pics, I told her to have my cousin bring his suit and we would do some mission pics. Well as I was editing the pics, I got to his one and just got creative! I think the picture turned out freaking sweet!

What I did for Father's day

2009-06-28T18:53:00.000-07:00

So I know I am totally a week off but, oh well, I still think this derserves posting. I had this idea in my head for what I wanted to do for my husband for fathers day and well when I was taking the picture of the kids for it, the one shot I thought I wanted wasn't turning out, so I didn't a little different and well, I think it turned out way better. So here it is. ENJOY!

Crazy week...

2009-06-28T17:58:00.000-07:00

So we went to Malad for Father's Day weekend and I swear once we got home, life has just seemed crazy! I will post later the coolest father's day gift I did for Chris. I think its worth showing so I promise I will get it up.

But I just had to put this down, to top our week off, we took the kids to Roaring Springs yesterday to let them blow off some mid afternoon energy. I never thought that I would be walking out of the park so much more greatful for my kids. Neilsen decided he wanted to go down the kiddy slides by himself, mr. Independent, well, Natali was still sleeping in the stroller so I was standing guard watching him walk up and keeping my eye on Chris and Traci waiting for him to go down the slide. I look up to find Neilsen for one second, and the next few seconds became the scariest seconds of my life. I look back to Chris in the water only to see Traci floating face down in the water! I have nevered screamed so loud and with that tone before in my life. Chris turned to his side and instantly saw what I was screaming for. Luckliy for us, he got her and right before she stopped breathing. The poor girl took in to much water, but luckliy she is alright. But what just ticks me off is the life guard just stood there the whole time and just watched! He didn't say anything at all! You can sure bet that I turned his name in!

I am so glad that Traci is alright, and she still, for some reason, went back and played in the water.
What a way to end a crazy week. I sure hope I don't have to feel like that again for a long time!

A trip down Memory Lane...

2009-06-08T23:22:00.000-07:00

After a fun filled day of Chucky Cheese, snow cones and monster trucks...I can't believe that my little man is 3 years old. I swear he grew up over night. All weekend long he knew that we were celebrating his birthday. He kept his own count down and would always ask me to remind him of how many more days til he got to go to Chucky Cheese with Nanna and Pappa. He was so concerend about party hats that I took him shopping for them on Thursday just so that we would know that I hadn't forgotten. Who would think that my little 3 year old would be like that. It is just crazy to think that just 3 years ago we had the start of our little family. He came into this world and with just one tiny grip from his hand, it changed my world forever. Neilsen at his 1st birthday.

Neilsen at his 2nd birthday...

Neilsen at his 3rd birthday!

Natali Ann's Blessing Day 6/7/09

2009-06-08T23:21:00.001-07:00

And then there were 5...

2009-06-08T23:18:00.001-07:00

Nap time fun...

2009-05-29T16:52:00.000-07:00

So the other day, Neilsen had just got done playing out back with his monster trucks. He came in and asked me if he could wash his trucks off. I told him to go grab some shorts to get wet in and I would turn the water on out front so he could was his trucks. Well we got all the way to getting his flip flops back on when Aunt Anna pulled out some chips and he had to take a break to eat some. He decided that he needed more chips so he grabbed his chips and sat next to Anna to eat his chips. JoAnna and I started talking to each other for maybe five minutes and I could hear his chewing getting slower, well by the time I had turned my head to check on him, he had fallen asleep the his hand in the chip container! I just had to get a picture just because it was so stinking cute!

Natali's one pics

2009-05-29T16:47:00.000-07:00

I just thought that I would post some pics I took of Natali this last week. I still can't believe she is one month! Boy does time fly!

Crazy Hair...

2009-05-18T09:53:00.000-07:00

I thought this was worthy of posting. Traci just loves bath time, and one night when my dad was over helping me with the older kids getting them bathed and ready for bed, seeing that I can't do that for a while due to my c-section, he thought that he would have some fun with Traci in the tub. Just see for yourself! I think it really shows off how much hair Traci really has! :)

My Three Kiddos!

2009-05-18T09:49:00.000-07:00

Well I figure it was about time that I finally got some pics up of all my kids together. So here are just some of my favorite shots.

Outside concert...

2009-05-12T12:15:00.000-07:00

I just love my kids! The other day Neilsen just had to play outside with his monster trucks and well Traci had to follow, but she wouldn't give up her chips so they went outside with her. My sweet husband took the chance to go out side with them and took the free time to play his guitar. Next thing I know, my two kiddos are sitting on the step sharing the chips and listening to Daddy play his music! I just love those precious moments.

2009-04-23T19:06:00.000-07:00

Its 8pm and I have put my two little kiddos to sleep for the night, which got me to think this is going to be the last time that I will be putting two kids to bed! I can't believe that in less the 20 hours I will have a little one in my arms. Earlier today I looked at my husband and asked him if it was possible to be excited and scared all at the same time! I am so ready to get little Natali Ann here but am scared to think about how its going to be like with 3 kids!!! Anyway, I just thought that I would jot down my last thoughts of the night, and the next time and log on here will be to post pics of this new addition of ours!
Baby #3 here we come!!!!!!!

Easter Weekend Fun!!

2009-04-13T14:53:00.000-07:00

It was a fun Easter weekend with the kiddos. I was way excited that Chris had the weekend off, so I told him we should take the kids to the Easter egg hunt that was at the high school. It would be both their first official Easter egg hunt that we have ever taken them too, but Neilsen has already experienced the hunt for the eggs when we would hid our own. But anyway, we took them over to the high school and Neilsen best friend Landen came and the two boys had a blast waiting for the hunt to start. I didn't know how well Traci would do but she suprised me and picked up about 9 eggs herself. She pretty much stayed in a 3foot radius around her and was just fine grabing the candy and eggs within that radius! LOl Neilsen on the other hand once I told him he could go, he was off! He ended up picking up quite a few eggs and 7 of those eggs had prizes in them. He also picked up the 3rd prize egg and won a little people circus land toy, he thought he was pretty cool. After that, we went over to my parents home, and did their own little easter egg hunt in their back yard. Both the kids enjoyed picking up the eggs, but wanted to eat what was inside the eggs more! I hope you enjoy looking at some of the fun pictures from our adventure. I also got the kids Easter pics done yesterday once I got them all decked out for church. Enjoy looking at those too.

New Chair!

2009-04-02T13:06:00.000-07:00

My wonderful husband today went and bought the rocking chair that I have been asking for since January (our other rocking chair broke and I had found one that I really wanted, but I was a good wife and fixed the old one to make it work.) We had gotten an ad in the mail yesterday and it had the chair I wanted for SALE!!! So this morning he went and bought it and then came home and put it together! He is going to get good use out of it too, so he says it was well needed! LOL!!!!
While we were out, I also finally picked up Traci's freaking cute Easter Dress!!! I had showed her two different dresses in the store, and she grabbed the one that we bought out of my hands and wouldn't give it up!! She knows what she wants.
Anyway, I was really happy when he got the chair, it will make my late nights with Natali much nicer!!

Baby Countdown!!

2009-03-24T21:38:00.000-07:00

Today I had a doctors appointment, and its all starting to creep up on me! I can't believe that in exactly one month from today, this little person that keeps growing inside me will be here!! Neilsen today looked at my belly and said, "Mommy, you have a baby in there?" When I told him yes, he just kissed my belly and kept saying hi to baby!! I am so excited to get her here just so I can see how she will fit into our little family! I can't wait to watch how Neilsen will take to having a new little sister to watch out for, (which I am not at all worried about him) Traci on the other hand I have a feeling I am going to have to watch but we will see.
It was just crazy to walk out of my appointment today knowing that I only have 3 more doctor appointments to go to and then she will be here. My doctor also looked at me at gave me an official time for here to be here and now that just keeps making it seem like its coming that much faster!! I thought that with my other two I had everything ready to go by this point in time, but after today, I still have a lot to get done before she gets here! :)

Monster Jam!!

2009-03-17T22:41:00.000-07:00

So this weekend, Chris took Neilsen to Monster Jam at the Idaho Center! Neilsen is so into monster trucks right now it is crazy. He currently is the owner of 24 smaller sized monster trucks and added with his bigger ones, the kid has about 28 monster trucks!! (CRAZY I KNOW) But for a 2 1/2 year old, he is crazy about them. One of his favorite and the first one they he learned about was Grave Digger aka "the Black Monster Truck". Well for anyone who paid attention, Grave Digger came with the Monster Jam this weekend, so I couldn't pass up getting my boys tickets to the show. I was also excited because since I got them tickets to the early show on Saturday, I was able to get them pit passes too. This would allow for them to go before the show and look at the monster trucks up close and personal and get a chance at meeting the drives. Dennis Anderson the creator and driver of Grave Digger was going to be there!! Well so I got the tickets and the passes, Neilsen was in Monster Truck HEAVEN!! They show hadn't even started and my kid thought that he was pretty cool! Here are just some pictures from their adventure! Neilsen was so tired by the time the show ended but he was just too excited and didn't want to miss out on any of the monster trucks. Needless to say it is Tuesday, and all 24 small monster trucks are still lined up in front of my entertainment center like the trucks are lined up in the shows, and the holds his own monster truck races in my living room!! What a character!!

(Here is Neilsen standing infront of the Black Monster Truck!)

Neilsen with Dennis Anderson!

Here is Neilsen watching the show with his monster truck wheel headphones! Trying to keep the noise down alittle.

Just some Fun Pictures of the Kiddo's

2009-03-12T13:33:00.000-07:00

(Before the cut!)

I thought that seeing that I am going to start being good about posting, I thought I would post a some pics of my new hair. Last week I decided that I had enough of my hair and called my dad, (who does cut hair; he has his license to prove it) and said that I needed a change. I told him I wanted something a little shorter and this is what I got! I haven't gone this short in a while but I thought he did a really good job and gave me a really fun and sweet new look!

(After)

2009-03-11T14:00:00.000-07:00

So I figured since I had some time today, I would mess around with our blog and you know keep things updated! :) Some good news for this week was that the date is officially set for baby #3. She will be here on April 24th!!! CRAZY!!!! That is just about 6 weeks away which still seems like its not too far way but I looked at Chris today and said do you realize that we only have to do to 4 more doctor appointments and then she will be here!! WOW, anyway, that is about as exciting as I get for now.

Hello

2008-11-02T07:14:00.001-08:00

I have been told that I need to start up a blog so here it is! So bare with me will I am just getting the hang of this! :)
