Tabi's Wedding

2009-03-25T06:36:00.000-07:00

Real live butterflies.

the cake totally went up her nose.

Cake thief. She took part of the cake piece that

they cut and put on the plate my silly girl.

Yeah, My little sister got married this past weekend. It was so beautiful. Her and her new husband Kole were married in Kanab. (That is where he is from and tab loves it there so that is why they were married there instead of ST. G) I did all of her flowers and they turned out beautiful it was really fun and hectic to get them all done but they turned out good. She had really butterflies in glass jars for part of her center pieces and a candy buffet which was awesome. the kids and the adults loved it besides all of the really yummy food. I decorated their vehicle but silly me forgot to take pictures of it. But thankfully the photographer did. It was very nicely done, not all that peanut-butter stuff and nasty other things that people trash the cars with (i swear people are dumb not thinking about if they are going to ruin the car or not with the junk that they put on) It was a long short weekend put well worth it. I ended up having to go through Zions and pay $25 just to get to the wedding because I listened to my sister Lucy and we followed the directions from her GPS instead of gong how we were told to go. Thats what you get for not listening. It was a pretty drive though. Anyone who has been through there knows about the tunnels through the mountain, well funny story. We came to the first one which is way long and the only thing that the sign said was turn on your lights and don't stop in the tunnel. Ok so I turn on my lights right before entering and as i start going I notice that something is wrong. Well what could it be? I turn to my sister the lights aren't working something is wrong with my lights. She looks at me no your fine there on. Me: No there not i can't figure it out. So I start messing with the controls and get frustrated and reach up to my face and what do I find. du dud duh dahhhhh My sunglasses are on. What a dork i am My sister just starts laughing. I laughed it was silly of me. But when we got to the second extremely short tunnel its sign said. "Remember to remove sunglasses" Durhhhh. they should have it on the sign of the first tunnel, the long tunnel so airheads like me can be reminded to take off their sunglasses.

Hey everyone Long time sense I have posted. I have just been so busy with going to school full time and working full-time and of course being a mommy in-between it all. So trin and I 1 night had a mommy and Trin fest and we put on some chocolate face masks and soaked our feet and painted our pretty toesis. We also made a mommy and trin jar. I still need to get a ribbon for the top but I think that it is pretty dang cute. It was a really fun night. I bought her the movie Nancy Drew so we watched that too. It is always a wonder to me when I am spending quality time with my baby the things that she says and does. She is just such a smart girl. I am so very proud of her and all that she does. I hope you all like the pic's.

2008-12-27T18:23:00.000-08:00

I went to Donna's house the weekend of the 19th for my niece Paige's B-day. On Saturday We went to a place called Jumping Jacks and the girls had fun playing. Donna Tried to take a picture of Paige with my camera and for some reason it turned out like this. It was really fun and nice to have been able to visit with them.

GingerBread Houses

2008-12-18T09:23:00.000-08:00

Warning do not put the gluey frosting stuff on your face . It makes your skin rash. All of our faces (even though we have diff. skin) when we washed them were rashie red. But it Was still fun.

So it is like a week a way from Christmas and I am so excited. I have been coming up with little things for the kids to do. On Sunday we made little Snow men out of Those craft foam balls. The kids decorated them soo cute. (I forgot to take a picture of them though my bad). And then on Tuesday julie and I got the kids some Gingerbread house kits from Wal Mart. The kids were so funny making there houses and putting on the candy. I had funn helping and watching the kids.

Thanksgiving!

2008-11-27T09:39:00.000-08:00

I wanted to tell everyone in my life how very grateful I am for you, for all that you have helped me through. I am always grateful, but especially today for my family and friends for helping me through all that has been placed in my path. I still have really bad days and I probably always will. But i am grateful for the gospel and for temples. For all the many great things that are done in them. I miss my son and husband soooo very very much today. And I feel like curling up and crying but I am trying to be strong for my sweet little girl (My angel Baby) and for all the rest of the people around me. Holidays and certain other days of the year are very hard for me. But I am so grateful for all of my family and other people near to give me a hug and support and a shoulder to cry on. May god bless everyone of you for the good u do each and everyday, and for all the help that you give to me.

California Fire!

2008-11-18T16:48:00.003-08:00

The fire was really bad and scary to drive through. There were soo many police cars and fire engines everywhere. I think that they shut the Freeway down right after we crossed through it. The fires were burning on both sides, and there was so much smoke everywhere. I am very glad that Trin slept through that part of our trip home from California.

Disneyland Trip with the Putnam Klan

2008-11-17T11:26:00.000-08:00

We Had alot of fun. These are just some of the pics from our trip. It was nice to spend some time with my inlaws. I don't get to see them very often so this was a real treat for me and trin to spend a couple of days with all of them.

We went to the beach on our last day (Saturday) it was so nice. Trin loved playing in the ocean.. It was her first time seeing it and playing in it. The water was sooo cold, but my silly brother in laws dove in head first. Trin and her cousin Grady played just at the waters edge. The water was to cold for Shelby, so she didn't get very wet.

My cute sister in-law Jen helped the kids throw popcorn to the sea gulls and the swooped down and gobbled it up.

Grandma had a good time with her cute grandkids.
Trin waiting for the waves to come in.

Grandpa P. Helped Trin build a sand castle. He eventually got in his swim suit to but didn't go out into the water very Far.

My sister in-law Kristy got really tired so she sat in the stroller. It was really hot and kind of humid and muggy. She still gave me a pretty smile for the camera though, what a trooper. She is a sweet heart.

Tigger decided to start dancing with us. How silly he was.

The things people say and do at WalMart!

2008-11-10T08:07:00.000-08:00

I just started working at wally world like 2 weeks ago. It gives me flexability so that I can go to school. (Yes everyone I am going back to college, kind of scarry) I will start in January. But anyway, So far I have heard and seen very wierd things. From customers, oh gallll. Imagine standing minding your business (for me stocking shelfs) and some random guy comes ond gets like an inch away from your face and whispers (I won't say exactly what it might imbaress some of u) aghh what a thing to ask a girl imployee. Well let me tell u I was like uhhhh, and hurried and pointed him in the direction. I wasn't really thinking so I don't know if I actually sent him the right way. I just wanted him to get away from me. Weird and weirder walking down isiles and seeing things u don't want to see. Agyhhhhhh. Anyway that was just some of the going on's of this past week for me.

Halloween!!!!

2008-11-01T12:10:00.000-07:00

I love Halloween. I think it is so fun to dress up and watch the little kids run from house to house trying to get as much candy as they can (way more than they should eat in like 6 months Jk) Our ward does a trunker treat, so we went to that first and our bishopric cooks hot dogs and they serve hot chocolate. It is way fun. I think I have a way awesome bishop, he is the nicest person. THe kids went up and down the line of vehicles a couple of times and then we took them up and down a couple of blocks. All in all it was really fun. We went to a house that I thought was sooo cute/cool and it totally freaked the kids out. I laughed for like 5 min's. It made Trin and Brock kind of mad cuz they thought that I was laughing at them (I wasn't BUT). I think out of the 3 kids (Trin, Brock, and Brittany) Britt scored the most candy. Her bag was double what the other 2 had. She kept wanting to go to the next house and the next. She didn't want to stop. The other 2 were tired and ready to go home long before we got there. It was soo dark when we got home but it was only like 7:45 it was crazy. We had to pants dropping incidences, first Britt, we had just started walking away from the trunker treat and her pants just fell luckily she had on a leotard. funny funny. Then when we got home Julie started walking into the kitchen and her overalls fell off. The funny thing about that was she didn't have anything covering her granny panties. It made me laugh.. Laughing is good and Halloween night was a good night for me to laugh.. I have set a new goal for my self, to find at least one thing to laugh at each day even if it is one of my really really bad days and I really don't want to laugh and just want to be left alone. Anyway I hope that everyones Halloween was as good as Mine.

Kids School Carnival!

2008-11-01T11:59:00.000-07:00

The Kids (my Trin and my sister Julie's Brock) school had a carnival the Friday before Halloween. it was really fun they had games and food and lots of fun stuff to do. So look at this pic of me and tell me if u like this vamp look or the one of me on Halloween. The make up is similar but diff. and I have way cooler teeth on Halloween.

Very Long Week

2008-10-29T18:55:00.000-07:00

Well, it is only Wednesday and i am already so wiped out. I started a new job this week at everyones fav place, Wal E world. Yeah for me. So far all i have done for 2 days is there orientation. It is a very long process. We have gone over a lot of stuff, so info I have retained and some not so much but it has been thrown at me fast and in a big bulk. Trin has gone to school everyday, a halloween party, and a dance class, and lots of other thing in between. I feel as tho I have been running around a lot, and yet I still have more to come. All I can say is BRING IT ON!

Good luck to us all during the rest of this crazy week.

The Temple

2008-10-21T14:25:00.000-07:00

Well On October the 11th (My little boys B-day, he would have been 3) I went through the Ogden temple and recieved my endowments it was such a beautiful cold day and didn't start raining until after we left the temple. It was such a happy peaceful day. Thank u to all who came to be there with me and to all who wanted to be there with me. Then after the temple most all of my siblings and my parents and Miko's parents and a couple other family members went with me To Jordans grave site. We wrote messages to him on balloons and then let them go. It was hard to be there but also very comforting to know where he is and that I will be able to be with he again. I am one step closer to him and will continue trying to get closer each and everyday, no matter how hard the road ahead maybe. I have such a good support team. I just want to let u all know how much I love u all and am greatful for u.

Dance like you mean it.

2008-10-08T13:01:00.000-07:00

Trin and Brit are in the same dance class. It is a combo class for girls from 3 to 6. This is their first day of class.

Lava Lava

2008-10-08T12:54:00.000-07:00

My baby girl found her papa's lava lava in one of my drawers and decided she wanted to where it for church. So I wrapped it up around her (i hope I did it right). She looked so cute I had to take pic's of her.

Hair Cut

2008-08-29T16:02:00.000-07:00

Trin decided that she wanted her hair cut like her cousins Paige and Brittany (which is short right under their ears). I really didn't want to cut it that short cuz it is so cute long, but it was starting to get really thin at the ends so we did a compromise, I cut it but not as short as she wanted. I did it my self tell me what u think.

Lagoon That's what fun is!

2008-08-29T15:49:00.000-07:00

My sister Julie and I took our kids to lagoon at the beginning of August it was way fun. We didn't get to ride any of the adult rides but the kids had a blast and thats what matters right if the kids have fun.

First Day of School

2008-08-29T15:32:00.000-07:00

Trinity Had her first day of kindergarten on Monday. She was so cute and i think kind of nervous. I took the day off of work and took her to school my self and picked her up. Her teachers name is Mrs. Thorpe. She is a cute lady who is very calm and mild mannered. Hopefully it will counter balance trin and her rambunctiousness. She just is so curious and is so defiant and wants to de everything her way and she thinks she knows everything. She doesn't quite know everything but she is so anxious to learn everything and absorbs all that she can. We met with her teacher like a week before school and talked to her she is so cute and excited with trin's enthusiasm to learn.

the veggie dishwasher lady strikes again!

2008-08-05T17:20:00.000-07:00

So she randomly says (during a conversation clearly not involving her) "So I think my neighbor was trying to sell me drugs. Because he kept saying you know if you ever need anything you know for like pain or what ever I have like morphine and perks. So a just let me know." "I just couldn't tell by what he said it just didn't make sense to me. Why he would ask me that." I told her clearly he was, seeings how he said if you need anything. It baffles (ha ha funny word) my mind that she wouldn't have a clue. Oh well. whatever' s clever.

Fro

2008-07-31T11:13:00.000-07:00

We took Trin's hair out of her braids because her head was starting to peel from being sun burnt. then we brushed threw it. And woa the fro was created. Trin loved it she wanted her hair to stay pouffy for the next couple of days but I didn't wanted her to go that long with out a bath cuz that would just be nasty. She wants me to re-braid her hair. So we will see.

Bear Lake

2008-07-19T17:13:00.000-07:00

Trin and I went with my fam. and extended fam. on my dad's side to bear lake it was a blast. Except for the migraines I had but thats another story in and of it's self. We were there for 3day's. That was plenty long. I was so tired and ready to go home at the end. We got a little sunburnt and lots of sand in the swim suits and in the tent and pretty much every where. It was a nice break from work I hated to go back.

My fourth of july weekend

2008-07-19T16:37:00.000-07:00

Yea for the fourth. Trin and I went to orem for the 4th and spent it with some of my sisters and their families. We had so much fun we went swimming, and decorated cookies, and watched a parade (It was so hot and humid that day). And we did fire works (sorry no pic's of that though). I hope all of you had fun too.

Shower fight with Trin.

2008-06-24T17:14:00.000-07:00

Last night trin was having such a hard time. She has a lot of emotions and confusion bottled up and coming to a head. We have been working on finding a release for it so any suggestions would be appreciated. So last night she was just going off and I was just getting so mad and frustrated. It was very hard on me to see her this way when she is not usually like this. So we were arguing about different things and one of the was about her not getting in the tub, She would keep telling me I will tomorrow mom, and on and on. Never did happen so last night I stripped her down and put her in the shower. She cried and tried holding on to the door so I couldn't put her in. (She is very strong and can hold on tight by the way I struggled with it) I finally got her and and she screamed at the top of her lungs and cried, because she doesn't like water on her face unless she does it her self.. Me poor dad hollered down thinking something I don't know what I just hollered back that every thing was fine. I hurried and got her clean and out in like 3 mins. To her it seemed like longer and to me. She kept spitting water and spit at me and flipping water at me.. It was very dramatic. Then after that I wrapped her in a towel and we sat on my bed and talked and both of us cried for a long time. It was a release but I wish we both could have done it different. We hugged and said our sorries. IT was a hard night. I just need some peace and so does My sweet little Trintrin. I love my baby girl to death but sometimes we just butt heads. On a happier note today since her release she has been doing sooooo good. Children we love them!

Farmer Fred @ the Bakery

2008-06-24T16:56:00.000-07:00

Hello my blog fans. So a couple of weeks ago my manager (whimpy airhead) hired a kid who actually turned out to be a 24 year old guy, to help with the morning stuff. His name is actually Bret but before he started working the manager told us that he was an RM farm boy. In actuallity he has been home for awhile but his family are farmers he said that it is not a big farm though, so hence the name I gave him (which caught on by most everyone) Farmer Fred. I think it kind of bothered him that I called him that but oh well. So anyway are Farmer Fred only lasted 1 week. He said he couldn't handle the early hours because it didn't leave him with any time for a social life, and he worked another job in the afternoons. Still he couldn't handle it. I would laugh and laugh at him in my head and sometimes out loud because he would say that he wasn't a farm boy but he totally sounded like one example, We would be doing something and it wouldn't go how he wanted it to go so he would say, "Awwww come on now" with a very distinct Farmer/cowboy twang if can just imagine for me for just a second. He also wore the tight farmer/cowboy pants and the work boot/shoes. very funny made me laugh. He hardly would talk to me and the quiet girl but he had no problem talking to the guys and old lady's. I think us younger ladies were intimidating (and also cuz of my Farmer Fred comments) So funny, I still laugh thinking about it. Oh ya he also had this farmer/cowboy swagger when he would walk. Knock me over with laughter. Maybe yaall know someone like the bakery Farmer Fred.. Ha Ha Haaaa Let me know.

Trin's B-day party with the Mangelsons

2008-05-25T17:58:00.000-07:00

Trin and I stopped at Donna's house on our way back from St. George and had a b-day party for Trin. Her real b-day isn't until tuesday.

Trinity

2008-05-20T19:16:00.000-07:00

Yeah for Trin. She is done with preschool. She has learned so much this year and grown a lot. I am so proud of her. Last week she had a rodeo day at her school. It was soooo cute. The kids made their own stick horses and did barrel races around these buckets. They went on a wagon/buggy ride behind a horse. And they roped bucket cows with hoolahoops. They got to see rodeo clowns and got balloon hats. It was so cute. Tomorrow (Wens. May 21 st) she has her preschool graduation. She is going to have a little program at a hotel confrence room and get her year book. What a cutie she is.

Weird question!

2008-05-20T19:06:00.000-07:00

So at work a couple of days ago I was asked this really weird (it was just plain stupid) question by "the veggie dishwasher lady" (really weird lady) . "So uh Mary can just anybody drive on main street or like only certain people or what." Me-"Um, I am pretty sure everyone can. Why?" "Oh I was just wondering cuz I wasn't sure." Hello lady. I was like really that was a out of nowhere question. She often randomly throws out these weird questions and weird remarks. You have no idea if she is for real or not. It's uh yaaa.

The Bakery

2008-05-12T16:38:00.000-07:00

Ever wondered what it is like in a bakery? Well I will tell you, because i just so happen to work in one. Depending on your job, you get up before the rest of the normal human beings that you roam the earth with. (Like me it varies it could be anywhere from 1:30 am to 3:00 am. So that means I have to be to work between 2 and 4 depending on my schedule.) You people with children know that you can't go to sleep until the kids are asleep. My daughter sometimes has a hard time going to sleep. So I don't get as much sleep as I like. Anyway, you would think it would be a nice calm job, Because all you have to do is bake pretty much the something everyday. Ya I thought so too until I started working there. There is so much drama at a bakery. Well, the one I work at anyway. If you think girls are back stabbing conniving b___, you have no idea how bad guys are. I have worked with a lot of girls to having previously worked in the dental field. The girls are bad and cry babies the guys are extreme and aholes. They tell you things about the other and try to get you on there side, and then are nice if not tolerable to the other guy/person. Then they get in yelling matches and pull whose ever there into it even if you have no clue what is going on. They expect you to choose sides at this point and time. They back stab each other and go behind the others back to the manager and above to the boss/owner. There is no middle ground you can not just be a pretty picture on the wall. You can how ever just nod your head and once in awhile say uh huh and oh the sucks. DRAMAAAAAA. That is just with the actual bakers. Good gravy!! It is not easy work it is very bodily demanding. You constantly are lifting a good 50 pounds or more. And running around making sure things don't burn and you have orders to fill and the phone to answer and constant heat. Oh the heat, It feels as if you are standing out side in the middle of summer in that stifling can't breath heat. At times you feel as if it might be alleviated some and then a gust of it comes billowing up in your face as you put something in or pull something out of the extremely large oven. The smells are great but after eating so much of it, ughh, after a while of bread and pastries and cookies and brownies and cinnamon rolls and bagels and soda and all that yummy junk all you want is a freakin carrot or a piece of fruit. Then you are covered in flour and who knows what other bakery products, all you want to do is go home and crash out. But most of the time you can't because you have errands to run and kids to take care of. It is tiring. It is fun too but there is lots of drama and lots of hard work.

Stay tuned for up coming real scense of "The Bakery" hopefully posted every week.
