by orders of her highness

kylee has said that I CAN'T TALK ABOUT HER ANYMORE. what to do? what to do? technically, i am speaking about her right now. now i am going to get my head chopped off. crap.

it's my birthday...

enjoy a good laugh on me

i am 33

the kylee burrito

the outer wrapping
the pillows to cover the face
and everything else she can possibly get on top of her head.
seriously, what is wrong with my kid? she does this in the middle of SUMMER!

i do have pictures from the SHE AND HIM CONCERT but, i really need to recover from it before i get all goofy and funny about it. those who were there with me will understand.

see ya tonight

i just lost 60% of my life

goodbye old friend. just so you know, you totally screwed me out of 60% of my electronic love affair with you. all of my TV shows...GONE! why did this have to happen while i am PMSing? i have to wait 3 days now to get a new one.

brenton survived

first day of school. i let them pick out a new shirt to wear. kylee wanted to wear some of the "new winter clothes" that i had got at the gap. i had to explain to her that you only wear those clothes when it is colder. she still doesn't get it. i am letting her wear a new pair of levi's today. although, knowing her, she won't complain about it, she is willing to put comfort aside for beauty (i am so serious). boys, on the other hand, are all about comfort. and those shoes B is wearing, he found them at a campsite last weekend and they just happened to fit him. YEAH!

why is ice so cold?

in case you are not an avid AFV watcher...YOU MUST WATCH THIS. we have never laughed so hard at a video. HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! this means winter is on its lovely way to utah...



did you pee your pants?

crossing the line

so, i have wanted to talk alot about certain things that may be considered "crossing the line" or "TMI". i just really really have a need to scream it from the top of a mountain, "I HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IT REALLY IRRITATES ME! does anyone out there hear me?" it has mostly to do with "body stuff". so please, my dearest internet readers, is talking about some of my body issues (not weight, something else), considered "CROSSING THE STUPID IMAGINARY LINE"? or in other words...if you are sensitive do NOT read on...can i talk about how much i hate my boobs? will you let me do that? seriously, if you don't want to hear about it, i won't. just please let me know where to draw the line. because, ME?, I DON'T BELIEVE IN LINES!

LOVE AND LIGHT TO ALL!

p.s. i have a girl date tonight...woot woot!

it's with my sister...SHEESH.

i am not alone in this world

i am still on my "no brain function holiday", and yes i am getting along quite nicely, thank you. so go here to find out why i don't feel so alone in the world of living with tessa. THEY ALL GET BACK TONIGHT....DUN DUN DUUUUNNNN.

my kids start school next monday. i don't know how to feel about this. happy-that the kids will have something to do. anxious-for brenton (obvious reasons). depressed-summer is coming to a closing. oh the dread that sinks in my chest can sometimes be unbearable. there is something that i want to share but, i can't. as soon as i get permission i promise i will. until then, LIGHT AND LOVE TO ALL. (that is so me, isn't it molly?)

New Mexico til Monday

my husband and kiddos are going to New Mexico. shwoo, i got it right, i keep saying Arizona. they won't be back til Monday night. i am going to be gone too....MENTALLY, THAT IS.

THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT!

ps i just realized it is Friday the 13th. neenoo neenoo, neenoo neenoo.

also, happy birthday to the One and Only LISA PRICE on Saturday. i will be mentally checked in for our PARTAY that night.

two little monkey's jumping on the bed, one fell off and...

instacare anxiety

so i am going to do my "wordless day" tomorrow. brenton did a somersault. into the corner of the wall. i was not upstairs when he did it. kylee came and got me, with a horrified look on her face. i came up to find a head of blood with a goose bump on his head. this bump was unlike any other bump i have ever seen. i then said, " i think we need to take you to the hospital". brenton then screamed. we went to the instacare instead. he was much more calmer about that. when the nurse interviewed us, she asked him questions that you would ask a head injured person for a concussion. does your head hurt? no. do you feel dizzy? no. do you feel like you are going to throw up?...ALL HELL WAS UNLEASHED ON THE INSTACARE! lucky for him he survived. he got a transformer for being so brave. but, i think he was happiest about never feeling like he was going to throw up. HE NOW KNOWS ALL THE SIGNS OF A CONCUSSION.
i think we may have a new phobia to discuss in therapy on thursday...

censored

quick story: first off, i should say that i like to curse. i know, it is evil, and foul, and how low can you sink in your language. well, let me tell you, i can sink low and sometimes i kinda like it down here. so, being given this weak characteristic, my kids have gotten used to some of the words that can sometimes come flying out of mommy's mouth (but never the really really bad ones, those ones i save for when i stub my toe and yell at the kids to get out of the room...then i let it rip). so there you have it, marci curses. this is not news to my family and this is why i am so open about it to the internet (and i have also let go of the guilt, i am living guilt-free right now). oh, who am i kidding, the guilt is still there, i am just letting myself be more prone to ignore it.

here's the real story: so on saturday night my sister drops off her two kids for a date night with her husband (and in return they will be watching our kids, it is a GREAT DEAL). already my sister is thinking, "crap what word did my kids pick up from marci?". ok, i am outside with saylee, who is three and lucky for me, still working on her speech. i then walk into the garage to find that she has fed the cement in our garage Roxy's dog food. to which i respond (to myself, and i honestly said it softly too) DAMN IT. i then flipped around and said, "oh crap, you didn't hear me say that did you saylee?!". to which she replies,..."CUCK". and i then said, "yes saylee, you can have all of aunt marci's coke if this stays between you and me." and then she points to her throat and says, "CUCK". and i said, "RIGHT ON, WE HAVE A PERFECT UNDERSTANDING."

side note: i am reading EAT PRAY LOVE. i am at the part where she is in Italy, learning the Italian curse words. now put two and two together.

out of office

so sorry.

came home from my parents house last night.

found a freezer and fridge catastrophe had happened while we were gone.

mostly the freezer.

yes, it all had to be thrown out.

CRAP.

baby hungry

no, not THAT KIND! sheesh, get your mind out of THAT AREA THAT MY BRAIN DARE NOT GO. everywhere i go, i see the CUTEST PUPPIES EVER for sale. i kid you not, there are puppies everywhere. and i am like a zombie when it comes to puppies...i start walking with my arms in front of me and saying, "CUTE PUPPIES, MUST HAVE".

we are planning on breeding Roxy right now and are just waiting for her cycle to start, so she can get it on with a happening Labrador...HEY OH! and everyday, i am checking for blood drops...anywhere...where are they Roxy? ooooooo i found one...right there...it is bright red...oh yes, i am going to get my puppies...wait, what? that is dried playdoh...dammit! WILL YOU JUST START YOUR CYCLE ALREADY DOG!

in the meantime, Walter is going to come home one day and i am going to be all, "sorry hon, puppies are non-refundable." and then i will lean over and show a little cleavage and say, " i am sooooo soooorrryyy." if you are a FRIENDS FAN, you will get my last reference.

in awe

SUNDAY NIGHT
AT DUSK

LOOKING UP

it smells like wet kids

kyle in a TUBE TOP

you are so totally welcome.

the newest convert

i remember having this "photo" done with MY dad, so of course, i had to do it with MY kids. (minus the pest in the pink tutu)
i let him pick out a new shirt to wear after his baptism and this is what he chose. he was limited to the shirts at the gap, but he found this winner. why is it a winner in his book? cause of all the friggin pockets, there are even pockets on the sleeves. the winner in my book, IT WAS ON SALE!

i think if you ask anyone what the most touching moment of the baptism was, it was when brenton, kylee, and charity (their cousin) got up and sang. it was the FIRST TIME BRENTON HAS EVER OUT SUNG HIS SISTER! and maybe the other contender would be when he popped out of the water and said, "HEY EVERYBODY".
