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...

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.

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????

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!
