HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Happy New Years Bradshaw girls! I am so looking forward to a new year! We have an appointment with two different Attorney's on Friday to get the ball rolling. I need all of your prayers right now I would love to have a child in my life again! Joshy's birthday is coming up Feb 5th he would have been 18 yrs old... wow it is a hard bday! He will be dead as long as he was alive this year. I miss him all day everyday you think it would get easier but it is heart wrenching. I love you all girls!

Mom's Birthday

Anyone want to meet us for dinner somewhere? Outback maybe?? Let me know Beck. Otherwise, consider yourselves informed! ;-)

Family Network "out"

:-)

Hellloo?? (echo, echo)

Are you girls around? Just talked to Wee and Becky today. Wee and Donna, we will be coming down March 1st to Utah, that's when my new nephew's blessing and niece's baptism are. Looking forward to seeing you two and my adorable niece's and nephews! March is way to far away though, her baby is going to be pretty old by then!

I'm feeling pretty worn out from Christmas and feel like I need a little energy jolt! Wish I exercised, but our treadmill broke (boo!). I think we need a new one. Any New Years resolutions going on in your house holds?

Mom and Dad

Are on their way back home!

We had a great time, it was so good to have them here. Man, I love our family! Mom and I went shopping yesterday and I showed her how I use coupons. She got:

10 packs of batteries
5 boxes of chocolates
and 3 bags of hershey's kisses

for $6.00 after coupons! She was so excited! The day before I took her and she got,
8 packs of rayovac batteries
2 tubes of Cologate Total
2 tubes of Colgate Freshmax
and her total was only .91 cents! She was so excited about it! You know how mom likes a good deal. It was alot of fun! You girls can get free batteries too at your Targets, if anyone is interested, let me know and I will post a link to the coupon, you'd need a printer to print them though. Love you girls, and miss you tons!

Morning everyone!!

Christmas was the best ever at Becky's. YAY! And Payday is today. Woohoo.. couldn't get much better. Unless I didn't spend so much last week that it trickled over into this Pay Period. :-( Oh well... Christmas comes but once a year...and I got spoiled!! Laurie...sorry I missed your call. We were watching a Dexter marathon upstairs in Becky's sweat shop. (she'll try to roast you slowly and "claim" the temp is on 65).. some people just love the sweet smell of Hodgey sweat! Oh, btw. Did everyone know that Jimmy nearly took off my entire big toe? It's hanging by nail polish. Ok, so maybe he accidentally kicked my foot under the table and took off a 4th of the toenail. But there was BLOOD everywhere... and Jimmy just laughed... laughed...and laughed some more! :-P

Love you all. Hope you continue to have a good time with your families. No calling me. I'm going to be in a "siesta" with my pillow here in a couple of minutes. LOVE YOU EVERYONE (but mom)... lol Ok, Mom too!

Hodge

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

Hey all, I hope you are all having a wonderful, snowy Christmas. Jordan got his Xbox 360, he's thrilled! Justin got his class ring, we packed it in 3 different boxes and wrapped the ring box in wrapping paper and put like a mile of tape around it to make it harder to unwrap! It was a fun morning. Every one stay safe and have a wonderful day!

Love you all,

The Goodrich's

Here comes the Nazi Mama checkin in!!

I feel like a mailman, we came through sleet and snow and finally arrived in Idaho Falls at 2:30 a.m.! We are two very tired pooped out grandparents that are so excited to be here! I've read through your mail and have decided to censor it! Holly no more "P" word! Becky, you have enough purses no need for any more! Laurie, no more throwing good clothes away! Donna May, put the whip away and let those boys live! Mindy, keep the chocolate chip muffins coming! Have a very Merry Christmas, miss you all!
Love,
Mom

So happy for you Laurie

I felt your pain this morning. Had a TERRIBLE migraine, followed by throwing up so hard that I peed a little. Just came to work, as is. Of course I'm feeling fine now that my Maxalt (migraine med) kicked in. I just look like shizz! lol Can't win em all.

Laurie YAAAYYY

She's havin a baby... can't tell you what...but she's having a healthy little ___!! :-) Call her to find out.

Made a big mistake

I told the boss that I thought this young guy was "eye candy"... I came in early for 3rd Sunday changes...and here he is. Right up in my face, "Hi, how are you doing?" I feel muy stupido. I'm wearing a scarf today. I hope I get in a fight with someone, so I can throw throw it over my shoulders and run out the door in huff! ;-)

I love my ipod. I would die without it this morning. The night shift is silent. Not a peep. Oh and I got bored in the bathroom...(I was fixing my hair..pony tail day) and I see a delicious little pimple..just saying squeeze me. So I comply with my urges... Now I have an even more red bump on my face and the pimple fooled me. No gusher. Just the opposite. It hid from me. :-(

This is a post Becky would deem not important... but i like writing to you all. I love you Beck, even though you don't love my early day mumblings.

Another failed

shopping trip. Bought for me me me again! :-( Merry Christmas to me..:-) Love you all

Flashback

Hi ladies, do you all recall growing up with Dad and how we all avoided him when BYU was playing. Sean is watching the Bowl game, Byu Vs Arizona, same exact thing. Cursing sideline coaching and overall crankyness. Fun for me. I hope all is well. Such a busy time of year. Too much to do too little time. I am getting close though. I hope you all are as well. I will be calling you all on Tuesday to let you know the sex of the newest little Sullivan. I am trying to talk Sean into coming to the ultrasound. He missed the last two. Hopefully he will come to this one. I sure do love you girls!
Merry Christmas Bradshaw sisters!
Love Wee Wee

Alright, time for a new post

How's everyones day going? I've got Brig home for the next 4 days, so we get to prepare for Christmas and mom and dad! So excited!!! Wish you girls were coming :(

Anything happening with you all?

Mindy's Weight

We haven't had one of these posts in a while! lol

Hello Becky!

Glad to see you back online. Mom's going to bring the turkey up for me to pick up tomorrow. Is it snowing out there? Love you!

Oh yeah and to the rest of you.. pfffttttbbllll. That was a moist one! ;-)

Cheap gift for Wee

Hi Wee,
I found a good deal on Wall-E if you were looking to buy it. Best Buy has it for 14.99, it was in their Sunday ad. Take that ad with you too Walmart and price match it. Walmart gives you a $5.00 gift card when you purchase it and here is a coupon for 3.00 off of a disney movie.
HERE

That makes the total for the movie 6.99. Only great if you wanted to get that movie for your cute girls.

Also, This life size castle is a great deal for 35.00 and .97 shipping or free if you choose to ship to your store!` and the vanity to go inside it is only 15 dollars!

YES I AM AMONG THE LIVING!!

Well hello all!! Where do I start? Justin asked Sarah out to the dance and she said she "didn't know she'd have to think about it" and she never gave him an answer, this happened at the end of October. Now he is trying his father's method and being the "friend" hoping she will come around and start liking him. OK now you know the scoop on Justy. (Justin says "MY BAD" to aunt Hodge)
OK now on to the best turkey ever recipe! Girls if you all try this you will never go back to the regular way. To brine a turkey you will need a defrosted turkey and a big bucket, cooler ect. Place the turkey in 2 gal of water and 2 cups of salt add what ever 2ltr of soda, apple juice or what ever turns your crank (we used Fresca citrus) and any spices you want Rosemary, Basil, Paprika ect. then put ice in it to keep it cold for at lease 36 hrs before cooking it. (we kept it in a cooler in the garage and I didn't have to add any ice the whole time) I also did a dry rub of all of the spices I put in the water before I cooked it. Same cooking time in your roaster or oven, however you will have the moistis turkey you have ever had! Everyone who came over for Thanksgiving said it was the best they have ever eaten, Yea for me!
Sorry I dont post more, work has been crazy. The buyer I am working under had to go in for a hystorectomy and had no time to train me until Saturday during the snow storm. So now I'm winging it on all of the orders coming in and hoping I wont screw things up too bad with 3hrs training. Wish me luck.
Laurie sorry your soo sick and lord knows I dont get out to see you either so dont feel bad. Beck and Hodge I hope you have a wonderful Christmas together and Mindy your family and Mom and Dad will have a ball! All right I've rambled enough..I love you all very much!!!
Merry Christmas my sweetheart sisters!

Celebrity Rehab watchers

Something has bothered me since I began watching that show....WHAT IN THE HECK IS STEVEN ADLER CHEWING ON???? It's driving me crazy, does he have a tooth loose that he sucks on and moves around in his mouth constantly, it makes me a bit ill.

As for me, I have a Van full of snow that I need to go clean off this morning. Ugh, it's so hard for me to clean off that van being so darn short. I also have horrible cramps today, I usually don't get cramps during my "time", but they sure are strong this time around! I have a heating pad calling my name.

As for the picture, I got both the bw and the color. The color for my studio, because I don't have any adult photos in their and the bw for my bedroom since it was free. What are you all up too today, Laurie feeling any better? Hodge, dating anyone nice? Becky, hows baby preparing going? Donna, Justin's going to be out of the house soon, that must be strange! Does he have a girlfriend, I've heard rumors of a girl named Sarah....

How's everyones night going???

I bought myself some really yummy perfume today! It's Ed Hardy, the pink bottle. Sniff it next time you're out. I almost bought the geisha bottle. I'm glad I smelled the pink one first!! :-) I'm wearing the cutest high heels right now. I'll take a picture and upload them later. NOT good for the first major work day of snow :-( I've had to wear my coat all day too. I didn't realize when I sat down that my shirt showed MAJOR cleavage. It didn't show that when I was standing...hmmmm.... Anyway. I love you all. Hope everything is going good for you! Becky, let me know when you need the money and how much for Turkey Dinner. Also do you have a refill of Seri? I'm about out. I'm so excited to go home and watch the final episode of Dexter for this season! YAY!!! BTW I miss you all terribly! It's good having Becky here in town to be with... Mindy, you must go through total withdrawl! :-) Donna..where the heck are you? And Laurie.. I hope all is well with you and baby Holly/Hollence :-P

I just got an e-mail from James

...Look what Charlie gave him now?? He's the man who just keeps on giving.

Need help choosing a photo

I won a free 20 by 24 photo and I need help choosing. I can't decide on Black and white or Color. Click on them to make them bigger. Which one do you all think I should choose? Little Brig took this one, I'm teaching him well! It will go in our bedroom (most likely). Love you girls!

Much Love

I sure love you all. Laurie...I'm excited to hear on the 23rd. What a good Christmas present for you. If you feel that christmas spirit...name her or him Holly...or some varient :-) Love you Donna... where are you? I hear Justin and Jordy read this from time to time. Tell them we love em. You too Jackee'. Becky, thank you for Dinner. That was super yummy. Look forward to your Christmas turkey dinner. (down with the hock ham) Mindgey..hope you feel better. You don't start throwin up. Your kiddos need you. (and as you heard, my weenies need me) Love you all...and to all a good night. :-)

Old reliable...

that's what I call myself. Let's see... what does today have on the horizon. Oh, everyone say a prayer for mom. She lost her set of keys to the car/house/everything. She knows she had them when the bus picked her up. She thinks she left them in the van...but the lady is messing with her and not telling her if they're their or not. Anyway.. work's going going. Love you guys.

This blog needs a little Cuteness!

Man, bigger is better Click HERE
Figured it's been a couple of months, better post a picture of Jaxen so you can all see what he looks like now. Can't wait to see future updates of Becky's and Laurie's babies. Laurie, I need a Sullivan girls fix please, they change so much at these ages. I don't think Jaxen looks like my other boys so much, he's got his own look. As for me today, I plan on eating the Pumpkin Chocolate chip cookies I made yesterday, excercise (this ones always on the end of my list, I think I should move it up a few notches), do laundry (huge mountain, I'm afraid to go in!), get the kids to do homework, chores, practice piano and I need to do regular household chores, dishes, front room, etc. I'm writing it here so I can be accountable. Here's hoping I'm able to squeeze it all in as I also desperately need a shower this morning as well.

What are you all up too? Beck, did you see the biggest loser last night? I totally called right after and voted for ED!!!!! I hope the rest of America did too, that would be so funny!

....

Concert was good. I knew a guy who was working the floor, so we got to be down on the floor! YAY!! Good concert though. Trent Rezner is actually pretty hot. His voice is really good too. They sang a bunch of songs I hadn't heard... but it was still good.

Becky

Did you message the hag back? How are things going??

Hi Girls!

I'm really missing you guys right now and just want Becky to know, it broke my heart to hear you crying like that on the phone. You have wonderful blessings coming your way, so don't be down O.K.? Remember, the Lord keeps his promises and he loves Becky Bradshaw Degen (Sorry Dale, that name makes me shutter too!) HOCK*****

You will be a fabulous mommy to some lucky baby and that baby will move Heaven and earth and all obstacles inbetween to be with you and Dale! Keep the faith, I love you!

Hodge, glad you are getting some extra cash, now you can come home to Idaho Falls for Christmas and give Becky, Dale, and Jim a ride with you!!!!! It would seriously be the best Christmas ever, we have lots of fun plans made, good (really good) food planned, and Mom and Dad. Come on, you know you want too and it wouldn't be Christmas without you guys there! If I promised we will make it up for Christmas next year, would you come???? No pressure...hee hee.

On call sucks!!

Have ER call at 4am for "must fix now" problems...Now I'm up and there are "urgent keyboard replacement" calls and "I can't print" What a bunch of winers!!! All of them needin a tech to come hold their hand. All I can say is... CHA CHING!!! Yep... I've had at least 8 calls which means 16 hours of call back...at 11/2 times the pay... Make 22.80 an hour...how much is that boys and girls?? 547 dollars. :-) YAY ME!! Also 3 bucks an hour just for holding the phone....I really needed this extra money before Christmas. I'm happy it came!!

taking photo's of myself today...oh so much fun

TADAAAAAAA!!! :-) Yeah...at least I'm posting here.. :-) Love you all. Becky have a better day, you're in my prayers!!

Great to hear that all is well with Baby and the tests were negative!! WOOHOOO!!! :-) Love you wee!! Can't wait for little Hollence to be born! (or Holly)

Let me guess.....

No one wanted to talk to me yesterday?? :-( How's everyone doing. I was having a decent day 2 hair day, then the rain came in. It was already a tricky one, as I went from natural curl to curling it with an iron...so now it's kind of frizzed...me no likey. I've learned that the mirror is not my friend. I've also learned that when you have a little weenie dogs who pooh's in the room in the middle of the night, and wakes me up with her little "shenks" dug into my thigh.. (she carves her nails into little knives)...Oh then I admit defeat. Go downstairs and she wants to play! Not to mention, I hate Becky. Now Bell stinks to me thank you very much Becky... (becky said she needed a bath...I didn't think so... now I'm siding on the side of the clean weenie...notice i didn't say the P word)

Mindy

where is the youtube of Aiden?? I wanna see it.

What a nice Thanksgiving

We had a ton of fun for Thanksgiving at Mom and Dads! We spent the night with Holly, she took the good bed... imagine that! Dad told us a new story we had never heard before and everytime I think about it I crack up again! We had a great time the only thing that would have been better is if the rest of you were there! Mindy how was your fried Turkey? Did you have a smooth Thanksgiving since you were hosting it at your house with 7 kids! Mindy I also emailed Briggy and Sarah for Thanksgiving and they sent the sweetest emails back to me! They are great kids! Laurie hope you had fun with the inlaws and were able to keep your meal down! Hopefully the morning sickness is getting better. Donna it was so nice talking to you I really do miss you and those boys of yours! Holly loved the bare diamonds collection on you! You are so much fun! Love you all, boy it is nice living so close to mom and dad we really had a fun time! Love you all

Happy pre turkey day celebration!!

How are all of you doing?? What plans do you all have? Becky Dale and I are going to Mom and Dad's. Anyway... I have a lot to be greatful for this year. I didn't marry an abuser...I still have great puppies. I'm staying in touch with my sisters because of Mindy... I'm so excited Becky and Laurie are getting new babies. Donna has her weight loss and 2 great boys!! Financially it's been a bit difficult, but we all (or your hubbies) have great jobs with security. Anyway. Love you guys...and BTW, I'm putting the "rumor" to rest. I Holly Bradshaw, have NEVER had a crush on any of the brother-in-laws. I did however have one on Brigs brother Logan, and incidentally said, "speaking of hot brother in laws" lol

Love you all!

What a

shizz day. :-( Work is not fun today. I had 60 calls by 1100. :-( I had 61 calls yesterday from 8-7 at night. Miss and love you all. Have a good day.

So let it be bagged...so let it be taken

Yes, Last night I cleaned out my closet and laundry area. 7 bags of clothes I don't want, need, fit into anymore, etc etc etc. Becky is the lucky recipient. :-) Love you all...

Hodge

Missing ear parts and other adventures....

Just have to tell you about yesterday. Ever have one of those days that just seems unreal it's so bad?? That was yesterday for me. Starts out with me babysitting for Laramie, when the school calls and says, "There's been an accident here at school and Dallen is really hurt. We think he needs Stitches." So, I call my brother in-law who just called me to inform me that he was home so I could send Ladriel back, and I told him what she said and ask if it would be alright if Saige, Alora, and Aiden come to his house and play for a bit. He says sure, so I grab the kids and smell Aiden is poopy, so I scoop up a diaper and wipes on my way out so I can change him at Josh's house. Well, his diaper fell off inside his jammies and he was COVERED in poo. It was every where. Josh offers to run him a bath as I finish up wiping him as good as I can. So then I have to run back to my house and get him something to wear (meanwhile, I'm really, really worried about Dallen and all this is done at warp speed.)

I finally get to the school and Dallen's ear is bad. It looks like there is a whole chunk of it missing. He's crying and they've got him wrapped up in a blanket and they are trying to stop the bleeding. I call Brigham, and have him taken out of his meeting and luckily he comes to the clinic to meet me because Dallen really needs a blessing at this point. He's scared to death about getting stitches. I promise him that he won't have to get them until his daddy gets there to give him a blessing. Girls, I do not handle my kids getting hurt well. I really tried to remain calm, but I was still frantic. Where's Donna when I need her?

Dallen and I prayed that he wouldn't feel any pain with the stitches and that it wouldn't be too scary, and Heavenly Father answered that prayer. He didn't feel any pain, it was a miracle as I was watching and OUCH that really should have hurt a bunch!!! Right after the stitches, we took Dallen to Cold Stone Creamery and he got the largest size ice cream with two toppings mixed in. Now he just needs to keep it dry and be careful with it. It's bandaged and I'm literally scared to see it again, it was all so traumitizing. I'm such a wimp. Brig and Sarah meanwhile are both at school sick and throwing up in the nurses station, but we were too busy with Dallen to pick them up. They took turns throwing up the rest of the night, What a crazy day.

A new post to catch up

I am typing a new post to catch up. Becky sometimes you say the most inspired things. Thank you for your kind words to me about the baby, and your kind words to Hodgie. Both were truly inspired messages. Thank you! Hodgie I totally agree with what Becky said to you too. Thank you also Hodgie and Mindy for your kind words.
Love Laurie

Hi Hodgie

Just got off the phone with you and just wanted to tell you that you are such a sweetheart... I just love you! Keep on hanging in there you are just turning the corner on life getting so much better! Keep on loving yourself like we all do and everyone who knows you loves you too!

Hodgie

Bare Diamonds is here and it is beautiful! I think you are going to love it!!! Maybe you can give me your lip gloss :)

Wee Wee

Just wanted to tell you I love you and to share support with my sweet sister. When Savannah went to the Dr. He went on and on about having Savannahs baby tested for all of the defects this baby can have with Savannah being so young. He went on and on about how many things can be wrong with the baby because of Savannahs age and how important this testing is so we have the option to abort if something is in fact wrong. I said I could care less about the testing that I did not even see a need for her to have it that we want this baby NO MATTER WHAT :) I know you know how that feels... we want these babies NO MATTER WHAT. Heavenly Father is in charge of all this not the Dr. and for sure not your age. You are only one year older than the last baby... one year! You are a person of great faith! This is a miracle that you are pregnant! Heavenly Father is in charge! I love you do not stress this is in Heavenly Fathers hands not your Dr! We all love you Wee Wee and we already love this baby NO MATTER WHAT!

Dare you to watch this

Becky...how's the NEW CAR????

did you ever find out what model it is? Hey...do you want to come meet me for lunch today?? That would be way fun. I can see your new car! Love you... let me know about lunch.

What a surprise....

James just sent me 13 of the most vile text messages...telling me how I would pay for what I've done. What a psycho. I'm with Becky on thinking he's too lazy to do anything. I sent him a text message saying, "You contact me again, and I will contact your PO and tell your sister that you're harassing me on her phone. " He sent about 7 more text messages...the last one telling me how he loved me so much and it was driving him crazy.

Good morning former Bradshaw's.

How is everyone doing today? I know I'm half Gay, and half Bradshaw. You all are too. The marriage was by name only. So hello you gay bradshaws! :-) I've benn having panic attacks lately. I don't know what to do with the rest of my life I need to also get on a good workout regime. These are all just possibly passing words. I need to get off the coke, forshizzle. Oh and go grocery shopping so I don't have to buy fast food all the time. Anyway, I had to work at 4 this morning. So I've got such sleepy eyes. :-( I was up til10 last night with heartburn. Yet another"lucky" thing that comes with age. However I'll have to get a new pedicure and show you guys my new pair of heels. SOOOO cute. Anyway. Love you all. Hope you have a great day. Oh and Mindy...when are you going to update your other blog.
Signed,

Impatiently waiting for niece and nephews pictures. This means you too Laur and Don. Beck, I'll have to get you a good digital camera for when your baby comes. :-) That way you can have pictures of him left and right.

Beck, guess what? I got

Bare Rubies...here's the end result.

Whaa???

No one else posts but me? Where's the heart beat of this blog? Oh wait, right here. Anyway, how's everyone doing? Doing anything exciting? Love you all

Hodge

Good morning freakies!!

:-) How is everyone doing today. Becky, you've been bumped out of the call rotation for my drive home. Sorry to do this to you... but you're just not in our circle anymore..

*Update on James. Apparently, it just got through to him yesterday that I was serious. He called over and over again. I picked up the phone and he was crying like a baby. He said that his mom was going to write me a letter. Then he accused me of cheating again. "I know you have to have someone else, this is the only reason you would do this to me", I wish I would've never opened up to you because you broke my heart. Etc. I get off the phone with him. He calls me back. I answer. He says, I just wanted to have a converstation where I wasn't crying. So, I get off the phone with him. Calls back another 7 times. I just picked up my phone on the 7th and he says, "What did Connie say to turn you away from me?" I said nothing. He said he called her and left her a bad message because he knows he couldn't have screwed this up on his own. It must be someone sabatoging him. So he called and left her a mean message. I told him I didn't talk to her until after a week after breaking things off with him. He says, "I have to blame someone for this" Then said, "well I guess I only have myself to blame". I called up connie and left a message with her that the only thing I told him was that she asked me if I was seeing someone. Man, what a nut case. Love you all!

Shopping

Went to the Mall today and stopped by Bath and Bodyworks and picked up some Christmas scents buy on get one half off. I got Vanilla Bean Noel lotions, and Twisted peppermint lotions and body sprays. Yum! Then I went to Sephora and picked up the Bare Essentials Bare Ruby collection... PRETTY and Ojons Tunu hairspray! Oh and we picked up Baby boy Hocks blessing suit. It is all white from Dillards and a suit for church at Mervyns for 12$ since Mervyns is going bankrupt. Fun shopping trip! Merry Christmas to me :) How is everyone? Love you girls

New picture request

Can I have this as my sisters pic?

Hodge

Is that Jessie in the front row with the dark hair/orange tie?

Bah! It's busy here at work

How is everyone's day going?? Anything fun going on?

Laurie, I got this email from Teresa Collins

hi mindy,

you do not know me, but i am very impressed with your work. in fact,
i used to be in your sisters ward in murray. i have been praying for the
last year to find someone who i can add to my small team. it is small and
exclusive because i do not want a large design team.

i would love to ask you to be on my design team. you would help with show samples, work
at the shows( I KNOW you may not be able to do this with such small children)- but
the opportunity is there if you want it!- and basically be on my teresa collins team.
i have one person-jamie harper who is my marketing director and helps with designing
projects etc. too. i want to ask you if you are interested in helping to promote my company.
i would send you products (before they are released) and have you do your magic. they are
usually quick turn around times-

you will get lots of TC product and if you are getting published with my products we
will work out a fair compensation for you. I will also cover all your postage to mail
your samples/projects etc. You will get show samples back immediately- I do not
believe in keeping them for a year-

anyway, i felt like YOU are the one that I need on my team. if you are interested
and want to chat let me know. no matter if you can or can't just know that I think you are amazing!!!!
please tell Laurie hello for me!

teresa collins

Publish Post

Of course, I said no in the nicest way possible. I just don't even have the desire to scrapbook anymore. I haven't done any scrapbooking in over a year.

Here he is BENTON LUNT

You wondering who? Top row, second from the left. Handsome Kid eh??? (born in 80) I think he and I should date! lol

Mindy...it is on you

to change our photo's. I'll submit my new photo that I want.... Here in the next 24 hours. Great. The rest of you all can keep what you have, if that's all you've got. However, I know you can pull the digital camera out and work it...own it...drop it like it's hot!!

What's up Bradshaw girls?

Where has everyone been? Went to dinner with Becky and Dale last night. It was really fun. Becky in her faux fur...what a beauty! :-) Uh...Natalie's a lame-o Beck. She doesn't like Dexter. Oh and btw, Found Benton Lunt on Facebook. Landon Lunt was even on there. He was just a baby when we lived in Utah. Interesting eh? He's all grown up.

Holly....

Holly....Holly.......move the pillow..........I'm expanding the city!

Becky says "Holly you are asleep"

"No I'm Not" Holly says.

"As mayor of the munchkin city!" Becky sings.

Becky is funny.

Are you awake yet Hodge????

Plus, I got 40 packs of diapers this week for only 2.50 cents a pack. They were regularly 8.99 a pack and they are dang good diapers! We hopefully won't have to buy any more diapers! And, I got 5 tubes of Colgate Total toothpaste free, paid .19 cents each for 5 goody ouchless hair things for my girls and got an 8 pack of the prettiest smelling Dove soap for free too! I'm getting good at this!

Good Morning Ladies!!

It's my Friday night. Oh yes it's ladies night...and I'm feeling right...Oh yes it's ladies night...OOOOH what a night! (that's lyrics you know) Anywhoooo. How is everyone doing today? Anything exciting going on in your world? I've got nothing. Except the Bare Mineral's kit Becky showed to me. I need to get that one Beck. I'm currently rotating between my rockstar eye. Purple face of fashion and greenblue face of fashion. I'm sure Becky will give me some of hers though. She knows I love purses and make up. Soon she'll give me all of them.

Baby update

I went to my Doc yesterday and heard the heartbeat and the baby kicked twice while we were listening to it. He said that he thinks its another girl based on the speed of the heartbeat, ( he was right about the last two). I am having my ultrasound on December 2nd (trucker Bon Bon's b-day). I may also get an amniocentisis at the same time because of my advanced age, they want to make sure that the baby is healthy. He also prescribed medicine for the nausea because I had lost two pounds and I have been so sick. I read all of the posts I missed. I didn't get the inside ones on shows (celeb rehab etc., that I don't watch). I am sorry I am so lame with posting, blame it on my works new internet policy. When I get home I am usually curled up in a ball whining, or busy with kids, young womens, dance class, fixing dinner, attempting to clean my house etc. Becky, how are you doing. I haven't talked to you for a while. I hope better. I hope you are getting excited about little Aaron Joshua. Before you know it he will be here. Hodgie, that was a lame compliment that guy gave you. Mindy I hope all is well. Hey Donna, I haven't talked to you for a while either. Hope all is well. I love you girls!
Wee

Mindy is alive and kickin

She claims to be sick.. ;-) I'm sure she was. Mindy, you were missed. Same to you La la and Donald. Now where's that Becky! I bought her new baby a 500 sq foot play house. Turns out, she already bought one. I guess I'll have to take it back. :-)

I just got a compliment I think

"Dang, Holly almost looks sexy"... yeah, it's like someone taught men how to give the compliment, then take it right back!

why the frack

am I the only one who starts posts around here? lol Laurie will whenever she gets to feeling bad for ignoring us :'( Becky is the peanut gallery (very appreciated) Mindy is still so enamored with my costume, that she can't speak...and Donna?? What happened to DONNA???

Go Kermit for '08

It's the 8 minute countdown

Becky, you're almost free to call people. Just don't make it MY circle of folks. You call mom and dad...you do it on THEIR home phone. OOOh and if you want to talk to ME, send me a text and I'll call your home phone. That's right. MY circle is now elite, to Laurie, and Brig while he's at work, mom and dad. :-)

Another thing to beware of....

Mom thinks this statue I got in Mexico (6-8 years ago) is a Hindu God. Everytime she comes to my house she takes it down, or tells me in the "shlap his face" kind of voice that she doesn't like that. Then quotes the 10 commandments. Uh..am I the only one here who doesn't think this is a big deal?

Maybe I should give it to her for Christmas! lol

Warning...Warning to anyone who has becky's

new number. SHE'S NOT ONE OF US. She's on sprint. While she can talk nighttime minutes after 6....we cannot until 9. She may try to convince you to talk hours with her. Just beware. (If only mom and dad could see this Becky. They'd be ashamed and disheartened) :-P

How's the new phone treating you? I assume not so good as I haven't gotten any new picture messages from you. I'm sportin a ponytail and some attitude today. What can I say??

Pics I found on my camera

Pictures from last night.

Hope you all had fun!

Happy Halloween ooohhh hahh haa haa haaa!

I heard a few blasts from the past on the radio on my way to work this morning. Oldies but goodies like "Dont fear the reaper", "It's a dead man's party", and a really unusual one remember one of the theme songs from Lost Boys that say cry little sister(thou shall not kill!!!). Weird huh, I found myself in a Halloweenie mood and wanting to watch Lost Boys again. I knew you girls would remember that one since we only watched that movie a thousand times growing up. I hope you all have a great and spooooky day. Hodgie, I hope you have a blast but have a designated driver my friend. I see too many bad Police reports in my office and I want you to have fun!! Hey post a pic of your adorable self on this blog my friend. Mindy, Post the kids too, and Beck if you and Dale dress up you too! Have a fun and spoooky night my friends oohhh ha ha ha!!!
Laurie

So sorry for the absenteeism

Sean has been working on our home computer system again for the last 4 days, so I haven't had access to the internet. I just read the posts I missed. Holly, I love you soo much, I can not believe his sister said that to you what a b?$**!!!! you are gorgeous! I wish I could have seen you dance in front of the school. I am sorry I missed your call, please call me I am very worried about you. I hope you have fun on Halloween! I am sure you will look beautiful. Becky, that was so sweet of them to give you that card. Sounds like its time to start buying some boy clothes. Concentrate on your sweet baby boy, he needs you and he loves you he is coming just for you. Trust me, the lord always has suprises up his sleave. I never in a million years could have immagined that I would have 2 suprise babies after years of infertillity, my doctor said you are becoming a fertile mertile, I said I know, what the heck? Mindy, I don't know how you do it all, you are amazing to me. Never let anyone get you down. You too Hodgie and Becky, those feelings do not come from eavenly father. You girls (Donna too) are beautiful amazing women that anyone would be lucky to know. I admire each of you. This ones for the girls!! Girl power!!! Take care sister friends I love you!
Laurie

Hello?

Is anybody in there....just nod if you can hear me....is there anyone...??



Beck, doing better today? Just remember you get your big TV tomorrow! YAY! Mindy, just know you laurie and donna will have your choice of free candy tomorrow night!! And I will be dressing up as a dark Fairy. BECKY I need my camera back. Do you need me to come pick it up tomorrow? And if do, will you help me put my hair inserts in??

Mindy

call me tonight if you can. I called you, but you didn't answer :=( I'm sure you're busy... You know I called Laurie last night and SHE didn't answer me either :'(

Talked with Connie last night

She also said she wasn't sure what James would do. He could be violent. She doesn't think he has the money to come up here and do anything though. (usually she's his "sympathy" money giver") He called me last night and asked what I was doing. I said getting my costume ready. So he says, great, I'll be there Friday night at 6. I said huh? I didn't get a flight confirmation, but ok. (I was doing the reverse psychology that I do on mom if I have a boyfriend in town...she'll want to come spend the night at my house to make sure there's no monkey business...I say sure thing, then she backs off.) Yeah so he asked me last night if there was any chance we could get back together. I told him he scared me, and no one has ever talked to me like that...and then got off the phone. Connie said on the phone.. "I think he selected someone with kind of a low self esteem...and a little heavy set because he thought you would take anything you could get"... :-( I just really dislike that family.

Day 1

hair really sucks. I really would rather have day 2 hair. So...yay! Can't wait until tomorrow. So this morning, I was blow drying my hair. Petie puts his ear to the ground like he's listening to something. Only it was on top of a heater vent I closed..lol He did that twice. It was pretty cute. The guy at work offered to seel me a weenie (boy) for 450 dollars. Should I be a 3 weenie type of gal? lol

Mindy...did sarah win???

How did the election go???

Did anyone see the movie

Atonement? Not a church flick. Won a bunch of awards. I hated it the first time I saw it because I didn't understand it. Second time I watched it, started to make sense but I still have questions. Anyone?? Anyone??

Father and Son

Just wanted to post some recent photos of Jaxen, he's 8 months today!

Becky, pretty soon you will have a beautiful son in your arms, it's all going so quickly. Don't worry or be down. This is all part of Heavenly Fathers plan for you. You have grown so much within this last couple of years, I see so much strength and faith in you that I have never seen before. Joshy is proud of his mama and that beautiful blessing of a baby brother and sister will be yours. Just remember you are in the lords hands and Laurie is living proof that Bradshaws are very fertile!! It'll happen, have faith.
I love you!

I miss you all soo much!!!

I am sorry that I have not been posting very much lately. I can't believe that they actually expect me to work at work what the heck?? I miss hearing from you girls and all of the witty banter it always brightened my day. Becky I am soo happy for you guys, better start loading up on boy stuff now that you sold some of your girl clothes. Mindy, I hope Sara won in a landslide, she's the best. The weirdest thing happened today. Sean's friend Marc came over to take some beautiful pictures of my girls in the fall leaves. They are amazing. I told him I was pregnant, because I knew Sean wouldn't tell him until after the baby was born. His wife is pregnant too at 40. The weird thing is that we are due around the same time. We both went to the Journey concert together and got pregnant shortly after. Seems a trip down memory lane brought two suprise babys with it. Pretty funny stuff, we were saying if its a couple of girls they should be named Ann and Nancy after Heart. Ha ha. I sure love you girls!!
Love
weedity

Good morning everyone

Going tanning and to the Hydro Bed at the salon. Should be fun! Love you all

STAY STRONG HODGIE!!!!

You are worth so much to us sisters we love you so much! Know your own worth and don't settle for any less! You make people happy just to be around you. You are funny as could be and absolutely beautiful. You deserve the best... this is the Holly love train toot toot!

Vote for Sarah!!!!

My Sarah is running for class president!! We just spent the last hour putting "Vote 4 Sarah" printed wrappers around candy bars and she has got THE sweetest speech I've ever heard. You all need to call her and have her read it too you, she wrote it herself. So tomorrow we find out if she is the new 3rd grade class president!!

Insert crickets....

this blog is dying... :-(

Help a sister out!

Local debates were on tonight and we did not get THE OFFICE what happened! I need to know. We also did not get the biggest loser... inquiring minds need to know! And Holly stop scaring off the lesbians in this family!

So, while I was under the influence

of Perkocet, and I may have asked Amanda (AJ) if her sister is still a lesbian. Do NOT ever take that. It makes you write questions that have absolutely no tact! I feel like I just asked her her favorite color! Hmmm..she never responded back. Wonder why? lol

Goodmorning all

Happy day after Mindy's Birthday! How was your cold stone last night Mindgey? How did the blanket bartering go last night Beck? Donna, adjusting to work... Laurie, we MISS YOU!! :'(

OK.....So NOW it's your birthday!!

Na na na na na naaaa They say it's your birthday! Na na na nana nanaaa It's my birthday tooo!!!

LOVE YOU MINDY!!!

Luv you Mindgey! Did you have fun at the haunted house with the kids?? I sure hope you did! YEAH! You're 33! Look at these accomplishments you've made!

You don't look a day over 40! lol Love you Love you Love you!!

Justin and Jordan Rock!

The boys and I have been having a lot of fun! We got pizza yesterday for lunch, made cookies (Jordan ate around 15, that kid can pack it in!), and went to the school to get the kids. Justin has held Jaxen quite a bit and Jaxen loved it.

We stayed up til around 11:00 (shh, don't tell Donna), and watched a clean flicks version of "The Happening", which is really quite disturbing and the whole idea of what caused the happening, makes me roll my eyes.

Tonight we do the haunted house. They are so much fun to talk too and hang out with! Right now all of my kids but the babies are hanging on their arms and legs! I'm just about to make them the homemade bread. Yes Becky, bread. They do deserve it.

Good Mornin everyone!!

Love you all! Yes it's my day off, but I'm still posting! I've gotta go to the dentist. You know how I hate it. I'm an Anti-Dentite. Right now James is running from the cops. Meaning is paranoid for good reason. I guess they forwarded the mail over to Vicky's (the accountants) he thinks it's just a matter of time. I asked him if he would do it again if he had the same opportunity. He said yes. Right now I'm feeling like he chose this over us. And that whatever happens, happens. I feel comforted in the choice. Also, when he started to get mad at me, I told him I was going to get off the phone because he was being a jerk. Wow, I didn't know that this would calm him down. He was kissing up left and right. I'm not going to date him if he goes to jail... takes more money...or tries to run to my house as a safe haven. I know this seems obvious to the rest of you, but I had to kind of come to the decision on my own. :-) I love you guys! Have a fun day.

Big fat bummer

I found out at work today that the City increased its internet capacity and it was immediately full. So they have installed a barracuda fire wall system that allows them to track who's using the most, what web sites etc. They are also doing a secret audit. I am screwed. I get on line when it is slow. It is slow most of the time right now. I guess I won't be posting during lunch like before. Sorry, it has been really fun for me. I am not sure what I am going to do to appear busy. My boss said not to complain when I am out of work and to find something to do, because I could loose my benefits if they were to reduce my hours. So I guess I will have to bring something to read or something. Any suggestions? I love you guys!! Laurie

An invitation

I would love to have what ever family members can make it, down for Thanksgiving or Christmas this year. We would make a big Turkey dinner, desserts, rolls, and all the trimmings. We invited mom and dad to take the shuttle down so they wouldn't have to drive, but they could ride with Becky, or Hodgie if either or both of you two want to come and share gas costs! I think it would be so fun, if no one can make it I understand, but I'll make home made bread if you come!!

Just got back from the store...

and had a whole Cart FULL of food, had my coupons and got the whole cartload for 80.00. After all the discounts and coupons I had saved $112.00!!!

If anyone is interested, how it works is you buy in bulk. Alberson's has deals, 10 for $10 and if you add a few coupons to that you save big! Utah as well as Idaho has a special paper deal, where you buy the paper 18.00 a month and they will also give you 5 sunday papers (click link for details), so you have 5 sets of coupons to apply too that 10 for $10 deal. That's how it works, they also have online coupon links that you can print. Check it out. Here is a link.

If you check that second link I sent too you, you can see that the 4 and 5 star great deals are in red, the end column is the final price you will pay with the coupon. It's totally worth it, and whoever owns this website does all the leg work for you. Here is the link for the main Utah coupon board. Laurie, they post other deals besides food.

Ok...so now let's have some fun

Who's going to name their baby after me. After years of pleading and 9 babies later (Mindy's and Lauries)... I still don't have a namesake. Come on people! Holly is the new "in" name. Becky. It's IN to call your boy by a girls name. :-) Laur, you too! BTW, when do you find out what sex your baby is going to be. Either way, I want to put Holly in the hat for this one.

Good Morning All!!!

Holly, I beat you to it! Any whoo..Mindy just to let you know we took Justy for a hair cut over the weekend and he wanted it cut like his hair was in the pics you all looked at on line. Apparently the gay guy cutting his hair didn't get it and buzzed him. By the time the first swipe of the clippers was done it was too late! Oh well, we might have follow-up pics from you when his hair grows back if you don't mind.
Jordan is trying out for the wrestling team and seems to like it. Yep I raised the boy to wear a leotard! He's the girl I never had..he has more shoes than me!
Glad I got your new # Becca, I'll try to give you a yell later this afternoon when I get home.
Holly, no zits yet...hmmmm wonder if your little curses work at all??? Oh wait Jordan has some zits, mabey he's the one who is suffering from the curse! Way to treat the nephew Hodge!
Love you all!

Becky's new phone number

922-1174 We will be turning off the cell phones next week! Love you all :)

Well...goodmorning!

Seems like I was just saying goodnight.


To anyone who reads this and does not post on it... I wish you uncontrollable acne! :-|
Oh yeah, and you're dead to me.. .er... as Beck would put it...ASLEEP to me!
anyone??? Buehler?? Buehler?? Buehler??
Have you no pity??

Good night sisters

Love you all. Happy Day for you and Dale beck! ;-)

Monday Morning Blues

How come you can wake up in the middle of the night...be wide awake, but when it comes time for you to get up for work, you can't seem to open your peepers? Goodmorning everyone. We get to find out what sex little baby Hock is today! Looking forward to that. YAY!! ;-) I just had to turn on my heater at work. That and my pale skin is telling me that winter is well on it's way. (the snow kind of clued me in as well) Love you all! :-)

To summarize....

Becky is really good at touching her feet to her head. Mom came out as a lizbian in Dairy Queen, Mindy is still selling her milk on the black market...and Dad believes that all those annoying "increase your penis size" e-mail are directed to make us all love the "Negro's" .... all in all, a very good weekend! LOVE YOU GIRLS!!! Hope we can all get together soon. Donna, sorry mom pulled you away from my ear so quick! It was good to talk to every one of you this weekend! :-)

Luff you doggapooh's.


Hodge

Girls! Quick!

I'm leaving within the next hour, should I bring my camera???

YAY Today Mindy is coming!!

Mindy, hope you're packing those little kiddies up now so you'll be ready to go by 2. I'm so looking forward to seeing you. I have my phone turned off and will most of the day. Last night they gave James some bad news. That he would have to start paying his own power, they didn't give him a raise, said he can only work 40 hour weeks, and basically they won't need him here soon. So, I talk to him on the phone. He tells me how sad he is, and he feels like a drink. Mentions drinking about 15 times while I'm on the phone with him. Mentions taking a 20thousand dollar check that is yet to get there...OH and he says he's going to say it got lost in the mail. I told him we wouldn't have a future if he started drinking again. Same if he took the 20 thousand dollars. So, we got to joking around, by the end of the conversation he's laughin and eating icecream. So I call him back an hour later, no answer. I call him again. Leave a sweet message for him about how I just wanted to make sure he's ok and all this other sweet stuff. Doesn't answer. So I call him again thinking that by now he's binge drinking. His phone is turned off. So I call his home phone once. No answer. I call it again, it's busy now. He's taken it off the hook. About 15 minutes later I'm on the phone with his sister telling her about how james was talking about drinking etc and he won't answer his phone. He calls me then.. Screaming at the top of his lungs, Why can't you just leave me the f$#* Alone. G*d leave me alone I'm trying to get some F#&$ing sleep. I say now with tears in my eyes...I just wanted to make sure you were ok. and he yells again LEAVE ME THE $*&% Alone. To which I yell, You make it real easy for me never to talk to you again a*&@#$$ back at him and hang up on him. At this point...he's dead to me. I've never had anyone treat me like that. I have my phone turned off, and will most of the day, and weekend. I love you all. I'll turn it on an call you when I can. It might seem odd that I tried to get ahold of him so much, but that's what we both have done this whole relationship. All's he had to do is send a text, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Instead he yelled at me like a crazy person YELLED.... I hate him right now. Still love him,but really I hate him. I love all of you. Sorry, this was just a place to put my feelings. He's such an a$$hole. This behavior was really eye opening. Something I don't want to happen to me, or my children to come. Honestly I think that was the worst day of his life. But come on. he's still doing what he wants to do. Farming. Just not under his terms. I love you all.

Some good news :)

It is legal, Savannah is legally Kerri's and Johns. That is one huge thing that needed to happen! On November 11th Mikey will be sentenced and the Lawyer prosecuting him is supposed to terminate his rights at that hearing. Now we will have to get our own Lawyer to do the paperwork for the adoption. We are going to wait to get the lawyer until after the hearing just in case the prosecuting attorney does not terminate Mikey's rights and we have to. We find out Monday for sure what baby Hock's sex will be and see the 3D ultrasound. Yea! things are rolling ahead!

MAN You all suck!!

I just called Laurie Beck and Mindy and MOM. None of you answered your phone. Donna, I don't know your cell or I would've called you too! lol I'm feeling so alone! ;-(

Funny Video, I loved this one!

Say a prayer for Mom

The van lady and her had it out yesterday. Daddy was up until 5 in the morning worrying about Mom. Call her if you can.... or send her an e-mail. Thanks!

Good morning beautiful....

And Becky, Donna, Laurie, and Mindy! ;-) So yesterday I went to PF Changs for lunch... I got my fortune cookie and it was speaking to me in 3rd person. "Fortune cookie says you will have a great time no matter what you decide". Never really had my fortune cookie talk to me like that. Oh and to you working women...today is my Friday!!! To you women doing the housework and everything else... my Monday is tomorrow. :-(


Love you all! BTW, can we erase my horrible words to Lt Dan Taylor. :-)

You guys know the guy who sent me flowers?

The one before our family vacation a few years ago. Well he kept coming back..anyway This is what I said to him when I was on Percocet. :-S OMG how mean am I.....
I've tried and tried. You're so dull. You can't even answer a question without using a one word answer. THis wasn't meant to be rude, hopefully you will realize if you want a girl someday ayou'll need to become comfortable with conversation. Which you are not. IN THE slightest. Why don't you just walk up to strangers and start making small talk. I dont' think TV is the best for you if you don't know how to interact with the opposite sex. Yeah, no, and uhuh are not acceptible answers to questions. Also I was begging you to begin a conversation with me. You should be able to think of 1 question. My one question to you is, What's your favorite song right now. Who's your favorite artist. Who you going to pick for presidential candidate. uhhh... what do you think of white supremecy. Are you in the same thinking I am that women should maintain the roll in which they were designed. To take care of a family and not work while she raises the children. Do you believe in higher education for women. Do you think that wages are equal between men and women. What do you think of the new show that they're trying to find paris hilton a new "BFF" that's just off the top of my head. You've got NO skills in the interpersonal department. Please, for the love of your family to come...learn some! It's key in holding the priesthood, in giving blessings to your families, holding church callings being a Home Teacher..not just one that reads out of the manual. Come on...are you kiddin me? Sorry to rip into you like this, but that 6 minutes was pure hell. I've never had anyone be so disenaged in a conversation. Good luck to you and yours.

This is crap

The only people on here, are those who work outside the home????? What gives Beck and Mindgey? You two will pay for the abandonment issues I now have!!

News flash. Guess who showed up at James house yesterday? Deena. Yes, the highschool girlfriend who was his girlfriend before I started dating him. He said he just wanted to make sure he told me everything. Told her that he was moving here and that we were going to get married. BTW, his mom wants to get in touch with me. To stick up for him missing his flight, car not working etc. I really hope she doesn't do that. I don't know why he would allow her to do that? Still no arrest..lol

Good morning Everyone!!

Yes... I'm awake. Finally got out of my feather bed with down comforter. Who knew ducks could be so comfortable! I'm having a remarkable day 4. My hair is mucho caliente! I don't know if I'm ready for this cold spell. My sweaters came out today. reminds me I need to get a cute coat for the winter. All this shopping to do. It's a shame I don't have money to do it! ;-) I did fill up my 4-runner with a tank full of gas for at least one trip to Mom and Dad's. Mindy, when are you leaving? Early on Sunday? I know I'm going to spend one night over there.. not sure on 2 though.

Hey ladies it's me again!

Well hello all!
Just have to tell you all that yesterday Tim and I met for lunch and he tells me he's taking off work tomorrow at noon. I asked him why and he said "I told them it's our anniversary"?? Helllloooo??? Did he tell me he wanted to take the afternoon off??? So I immediately went back to work (yes I ate lunch first) and got the afternoon off today.
Last night I told him I thought my rear tire was a little low on my car, he looked at it and said "Donna it's flat!" Woops. Had to take it for 4 new tires this afternoon.
Also he got a check for a referral he made to another dealership and gave me the $70.00 to play with this afternoon. I finally got a new purse and boy was he uncomfortable shopping with me at Vicky's! But he did it! (he did however retreat to the fragrence and makeup section while I paid, and kept saying "whatever you want" alot!
Laurie, no tounge brushing any more! Sorry your having such a hard time. Mindy, right on with the coupons! I would'nt be embarrased either, I'll have to look up that site as well. Becka Lou I'll give you a yell....did someone say you have a new number? Let me know. Holly hair looks great however the photographer who took the pic sucked, need to use Mindy next time.
You all have fun this weekend and I wish I was there!
Love you all!

For all of you who didn't get my Cow Bell reference

This is PG friendly...thanks!

New post for Lodge!!

How are you doing today Lodgie? Weedity?? I'm wearing my sketchers at work right now. Oh and a hoodie. Do you think my attire will get me moved ahead in my career? Also did you know that Mindy can't spell? lol

I guess I'm on my own

with regards to costumes. it's a good thing I already bought one. Yep, I'm going to be Lady Luck. :-) I luff you guys! Laurie thanks for FINALLY calling me last night! ;-) Hope everyone is doing well. Becky let us know your new phone number as I know you'll be outta service...and Everyone needs More Cow Bell... er...Becky and Dale. :-) lol

Who wants to make me a costume?

Come on...don't we have any sewers in the house??? Where are you? I want to be queen of hearts.They're really cute outfits. So, who's up for sewing me one. Of course you will be held to a confidentiality clause if I give you my measurements. :-)

Oh Laurie!! Where are you???

If she took the day off, she'll pay! ;-)

BECKY!! DONNA!! MINDY!!! Where did you all go?

Ooh, and here's the brown hair

with a little bit of highlights. Don't hate me cause you aint me. :-)

Hospital Bill so far...

4600.00. Yeah I faked it alright.. :-(

Check him out!

Aren't those baby feet the sweetest? I love this little guy. Laurie, I really need a picture update of Ally, she's growing up without me. This age they just change so much, so quickly. So, I've got to keep all of his aunts who live far away updated. Love you girls, I can't wait to see Justin and Jordan soon! We're planning on taking them to a haunted house, it should be fun! I'm glad they are coming with you so we can hang out with them Donna, their cousins are SO excited!

I can't wait for

Holly Hock and Hollence Sullivan to be born! YAYAY!

Happy Saturday!!

Love you all. Going to get my hair done now. I think I'm going to do low lights and highlights. Best of both worlds eh? I'll upload a picture when I get home!

Mindy! Quit making us worry about the economy...and tell your kids to quit eating so much 1300??? That's a lot!!!

Becky:Do you laundry. You know you love washing those baby clothes you just got! ;-) I love you Beck

Donna: It's good to see you posting here more and more! It's really nice. Like we're the 4 musketeers (of course I'm the best looking musketeer) ;-)

Laurie: Hope you feel better. No more nausea!! I love you wee. Tell your family I love them too! (I guess that could go for all of you)

Hodge

Anyone a little freaked out right now?

About the economy? Brig and I are worried. He's out right now getting some more food for our food storage. So many things going on, I worry about my family and my extended family. How do you all feel about things?

Aunt Donna is in serious trouble

I spoke with Mom this morning. Aunt Donna's heart is misfiring causing blood clots to flow throughout her system. She is scheduled for a very delicate open heart surgery on the 20th of October. The Dr. did not pull any punches and said she may or may not make it to the surgery or through the surgery. Mom is going to visit Salt Lake from the 18th till the 22nd in order to be there for Aunt Donna. Donna May, Mom told me to tell you about this, you are at work at your new job and she did not want to cause any trouble by calling you there. She did want you to know, since her and Dad will be coming that weekend and will likely stay with you guys at some point. Anyway, please everybody keep Aunt Donna in your prayers. The Doctor also said this is what the heart does when it is failing near the end of someone's life. It doesn't look too good for her. Although she has had several close calls before. I love you girls!! I told Mom I would give you all the heads up. Have a great day, Love you!

Wake up people!

Yep, I'm awake, and yes it's my day off. You can call the weenies the alarm clock that doesn't quit! My dr said if I wanted a regular sleep schedule to get up the same time every morning, and go to sleep around the same time at night. I'm about to take my butt right back to bed! :-) Against Dr's orders. However I wished that I would've prepared for this. (not only do I not have 800 lbs of wheat, I don't even have a bagel to munch on) Bahhh! Alright, see you ladies later today! one big LOVE YOU..and one last poll. You all think I should go darker right? lol

Rubba dub dub

How did it go Mindy? The "massage"? Wonderful eh?? Be sure to drink your water so you don't let those toxins sit in you!

This just in...Donna is actually on agian!!

Alright ladies, I keep getting on here every night and all of you are gone!!! I read all of your stuff and because I have to be good at work....i think that's why they call it work...Holly what do I know?? I never get to have any fun with you all.
I just want you all to all you crack me up..Laurie keep up the stuttering..Holly keep giving her s@#t!! lol ! Mindy good one on the Bipolar 5.1 (high five Brig) Becky keep getting your pot shots in as well.
I love you all and miss you. Mabey one day when my job gets more defined and I dont have to go to someone to get work every 5 min and I have some me time I'll try to sneek on here and there.

Love you all!

Busy Busy morning ladies

Where are you all at? It's freakin freezin in this office right now. I just had to turn on my space heater. I feel like Bob Cratchet. Anyway. Love you all. Have a good morning.


Btw, criminal minds was lame.. OWIE, My EAR!! lol

This just in...Guess who called Mom tonight???

That's right... BON BON!!! :-) Called mom....she says they got her diagnosis right finally. She's a Bipolar #2. ??

Anyway, she's doing well. Timmy and Amanda were on Drugs. Right now Timmy is in Job Corps near Newport Oregon. He's almost 18. Amanda's engaged as I told you all. Tonya is "living with 2 women, and is friends with the daughter"....

She told mom "You sound really happy" and mom said "That's because I am. I'm really enjoying how close we've become as a family" Something to that effect. AND Mom told her the way to our blog.




Ok, so she didn't. :-) I guess she told her a little bit about how we all are doing. The 2 impending baby arrivals...etc. Oh and I'm dating someone. lol Let's see..I think that's all for now.

What night does this

Criminal Minds come on? I'm assuming tonight. I won't plan on watching it due to being on-call and not wanting to jinx myself. However, has anyone watched The Mentalist yet? It was a little corny, but has potential!

Cool video

This is the most amazing video ever! Wow, I love photography and someday I want to be this good, check it out!

Happy Anniversary! Oh and guess who turns almost as old as your relationship this month. Mindy! :-) lol

Dad..is he going to be 71 or 72?

15 years today

Hi all, Sean and I have been married 15 years today. I wish I had such a lovely picture of us. Maybe someday. We have actually been together closer to 20 years. Donna's anniversary is coming up as well. By the way in case you all are too lazy to go back several posts to the offensive pic of me, HOW RUDE!!! I see how you mock me when I am away. Payback, you won't know where you won't know how, (jumpy kermit).
Laurie

Don't Tell Santa Ive Been Real Naughty

Becky

If only she would still do her hair like this. She looks hot as a "sistah"! ;-) Oh lala...I like this picture more bettah of you! I think we should put THIS as your main picture. Just wait Mind. I'll find one of you too!

Sorry you couldn't sleep Mindgey

I'm way excited for you guys to come down. Which day are you comin? Oh and I might bring the weenies to Beck's for the BBQ. They love getting outside. I know the thought of this makes you two happy inside and out. :-) Ok, not so much. But they need to get used to kids....and MINDY, guess who has kids??? ;-) I've gotta go to the dentist. Yes, I'm putting his youngest child through school. I have to get a filling done. :-( So I'll be one flex less than a full nostril flare. What will I ever do? Last time he got me, my eyelid was even numb. I don't think that's supposed to happen...but hey, whoever uses their eyelid? lol Jumpy Kermit.

1:00 and Still awake!

Yes, it's 1 a.m. and I'm posting on the internet, sleep is over-rated! I just can't seem to get any tonight. Thought I'd share a recent Jax photo with all of you so you can watch him grow via the internet. I would love to see pictures of your kids if you've got em! To add a picture, when you are typing in a main post like I am doing, just click on the little blue skied square on the same line as all the font stuff and it will open up your browser window. I feel like I'm the only picture poster on here, what's up with that? Love you, going to go now and try and get some sleep.

Anyone around still?

Man, I'm on-call this whole week. Knock on wood...I hope nothing breaks! Usually when it rains it pours though...

Lunch Time Banter

Where my girls at?

Good Morning Idaho!!

Oh and Utah! ;-) How was everyone's weekend??? I had an interesting weekend with James. More details later. Becky...how did things turn out at your house? Laur? Anymore spotting? How was your weekend Mindge?? Donna, anything new?

Check these out.

Just was surfing around the internet and found these, thought they looked pretty cute, so I decided to show you all! Hodgie, what's going on with James? Did he come visit? Becky, how's the dumptruck? Laurie, you enjoying having a yard for the kids to play in? Donna, how are the boys doing? Love you girls!

Mom wanted me to let you know...

I just got off the phone with Mom and Dad and they wanted me to let you all know about a miracle that just happened to them. A few months ago, they were trying to get their food storage in order, so they called a man that owns a couple of wheat farms from the ward they are in and dad told him that he needed 700 lbs. of wheat and said that they would pay top dollar for it. Well, the man said, he would give the wheat to dad, that he was his friend and it would be an insult to him for dad to pay for it. So even though he could make alot of money off of that wheat in todays market, he gave it to mom and dad. Miracle #1.

This weekend, he was having it delivered to the house. Mom had bought cans, oxygen packs, lids and rented a can sealer. She was expecting to spend 8 to 10 hours canning wheat and was exhausted by the thought of it! Well, when the guy showed up to give them the wheat, it was already sealed with oxygen packs in giant buckets and ready to be stored. Dad helped bring in 800 lbs. of wheat, and he isn't hurting, which is huge because usually just carrying a gallon of milk sends his back into spasms. So they are feeling so blessed and grateful right now, and should the world fall into chaos, our family will have food. Love you!
Mindy

Yea!!! My home computer works!!

Hi guys, Sean fixed my home computer last night so I can check the blog at night now. I hope all is well. I saw part of Survivor and all of the new Office. It was a slight disappointment, however there were some pretty funny parts. This has been so much fun talking back and forth. You girls can be so witty, bouncing off of each other. Hodgie as always you are hysterical. Love you guys, I will be on and off today depending on how busy it is.
Laurie

Will you go and look and see if you can see my new website? It's still under major construction, but I just put up some galleries if you look under the title Photoshop, Holly your cute mug is on there. I tested it with one of my Cross Process actions and I loved the look of it so much I decided to use it! Here's the address

Laurie

Ok I am an idiot. I keep double posting on the comments, I wonder how??? I am at work during the lunch hour. Hope all is well my sister friends, even though some of you comments about me are causing me pause...................................................... hmmm.................................../??????????????. Started my morning off kind of crappy today, (see double post under Brigs home section, gotta love my husband). I spotted again last night which I do not feel comfortable about no matter what the Doc says. Anyway, keep me in your prayers. Becky I love you, remember your blessings about this baby and don't let anyone take your peace away (Pray for peace). You girls crack me up!!!! I forget how funny we all inhearently are. Jacklyn inhearited the Bradshaw wit also. She is hysterically funny at times. I think she wants to be a commedian. When our computer is up it wouldn't suprise me if she sometimes posts. Hope that is ok. Donna keep it up, sounds like life is good, good for you!!!
LOve
