Family Pictures...

There were lots more but they aren't on this computer....

Happy Birthday TO ME!

My birthday this year was pretty fun. Jeremy was in Colorado, but I got to hang out with my blogging girlfriends shooting our February webisode. When I got home I got this delicious giant cookie cake from the cutest little girl I teach at church. She is so sweet, she brought Jer cupcakes on his bday and Valentines cookies too. There's something about getting a giant cake that makes your birthday special! (I kind of ate most of it before Jeremy got home from Colorado - it tasted as good as it looked. Later that night Andrea and I saw a chick flick together, just the two of us. Something neither of us have done since we have had kids. SO FUN!

Tyler in my favorite PJ'S

There is something that is just so dang cute about TYLER in these pajamas!

Tyler the Hockey Player

He was happy.... until we took his skates off- then he was MAD!

My husband is addicted to nose spray!

Christmas was fun this year. We had ALL kids home and in the house for Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. Martin and Colleen announced they are expecting their next baby! How exciting. The pictures include The Classic Godfrey Christmas Morning Picture that we all look HIDEOUS IN! The last picture is a picture of the girls getting Wondermills from my mom. I LOVE MY WONDER MILL (so much that I'm a dealer...)

A Winter's Day

Tyler CAN'T wait for it to be warmer... Actually, maybe it's me that can't wait. The cold doesn't seem to bother him. He' LOVES being outside.

Tyler's First Haircut

It was a sad day. The lady cut it too short. Tyler sat still - which never happens.



He's freaking adorable still... and now it's all grown back :) That's what you get when you delay your posts for months!

I'm LAME

I know I stink at making blog posts - I have plenty of good reasons:

-I post 2-3 times a week at http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net
-I have one crazy child that tells me "computer down, computer down" if I'm on too long
-I have a husband wh0 has been locked in the basement finishing school for 6 months - leaving me to chase that one crazy child around (HE'S DONE NOW THOUGH! YAY)
-Our pictures are on that computer that has been being used by that husband
-I'm tired

BUT NOW, I'm going to do like 5 posts in a row- all for Kayla. ARE YOU READY?

Seeing that I haven't posted for 2 months....

Does this count as a post?

Got Back Up?

So backing up your computer used to stress me out to no end! It's one of those things you always think you need to do but never get around to it, then CRY at the thought of having a computer crash!

Well a few years ago my husband sat in on this business presentation for a company named Mozy. Well this system automatically backs up all your files DAILY. It's AMAZING and you never have to worry about it. Mozy Unlimited Backup - $4.95/Month (or less if you buy a year at a time). How much would you pay to get all your files, photos and all that back?

I am FOR REAL Mozy's biggest fan cause it has SAVED me through 2 computer crashes. That's right 2! When the computer crashes you just log in and download all your files back on to another computer, or your fixed computer. It REALLY is amazing.

Anyways, I became an affiliate for them because I LOVE them that much and have no issue telling the whole world about it. For those of you who know me, SALES like this ARE NOT MY THING. I'm not hosting parties, or doing seminars or anything, just simply telling my blog readers to get this but really GET THIS! It's absolutely incredible.

FuN wItH fOoD sToRaGe PARTY!

If you haven't heard already, my sister-in-law and I joined up with some fabulous ladies to bring our Food Storage Made Easy site to more people. We started a site called the Fun With Food Storage Network. With Shauntell from The Obsessive Shopper, and Crystal from Everyday Food Storage, we'll be providing people with a one stop shop for all things food storage. If you haven't been to the site yet GO because today Jodi and I are the featured post. Make sure to read yesterday's post because it tells you how to win some AWESOME FREE STUFF... Like a Shelf Reliance shelf. Truthfully I really want to rig it so I win the shelf, but that probably wouldn't be fair, so go go go! Good luck. THE SITE IS: FUNWITHFOODSTORAGE.NET

Wow, my friend said it so much better

My friend decided to go private with her blog... and this is what she wrote..., so I'm retracting what I wrote earlier this week and saying this instead.....

Well, as much as we hate to do it we are going to take the plunge and make our blog private. We've waited awhile to do this to make it convenient for family & friends to get on and read or to reconnect with old friends. We by no means want to exclude or discourage anyone from reading that wants to, but just because the world is a crazy place and we have gotten a few strange comments before, we've decided to go ahead and make it private. Please leave your email address and I'll send you an invite or email me at "address here". Don't be shy...even if you are a friend of a friend we don't mind you reading, just leave your email. We'll probably make it private in the next week or two so hurry hurry! Thanks!

Going Private

By the end of the week I'm going to be going private. SO, email me your email address or post it in a comment and the shift will happen by Friday. Too many crazies out there.

Tyler on SKATES!

I'm risking sounding cheesy in this post - something I promised I would never do... But really, I love my little family and life we have together. This was a fun night...

There I won't go any further then that. Make sure to watch the last minute and 20 seconds of the video, it's the cutest part.

Tyler - the reason for blogging

So not too much out of the busy ordinary going on over here.

• Jeremy's playing hockey for BYU keeps him busy
• My food storage blogging keeps me busy
• Tyler continues to get faster and smarter everyday
• Jeremy is finishing up his school work for the semester only one more week of craziness
  
• I'm working on my real estate business and Jer on his mortgage business still
• We're getting ready for our Weiss Tech Hockey camp during the break
• We're getting excited for Christmas! My brother and his wife and son are coming for Christmas and we're so excited because its going to the first Christmas in years and years that we have all been together.

So onto the reason for blogging.....

yes - poker chips are just like pucks

Tyler was really happy to help Jer install my curtains

My curtains- half way up, we installed the center pieces the next day and ... I still need to get matching tie thingys

The answer is: The blond and the curls come from me! ok!

This was the morning Tyler insisted on wearing his swim diaper and swim shorts together, at the same time, in the wrong order, and his hockey pj tops, while riding a truck.

Won't You Be My Neighbor????

So I have been doing some creative marketing these days- let me explain.

As most of you know, I'm a realtor. Well I'm listing my neighbors house and I am holding an Open House this Sat, Dec 6 from 10-noon. I'm doing the standard newspaper ad, but in all honesty how many 20 something year olds looking to buy a starter home are looking in the Saturday Morning paper for open house ads? That's right - next to none.




Nowadays we all look online while in our pj's.

So I decided to go about letting people a little differently this time. Hence my facebook status, posted links on facebook, and now my blog entry.

If you know of anyone who is interested in purchasing a GREAT started home in Daybreak, please tell them to contact me, come to the open house, and send them this link. http://is.gd/9Lpm or this one http://www.ksl.com.

THIS IS DAYBREAK!

I am actually really sad to see these neighbors leave. They have been good friends and are really great people. He is going to law school and because of it they need to relocate. If you don't know much about Daybreak, come to the open house anyways. It is the BEST place to live. I live here, so I'm not just saying that. It has great trails, a lake, a community center with a gym, incredible parks, splash pools and pools for kids and adults, and fiber optic internet- yes I'm a computer nerd. Anyways, so there you have it - my creative internet marketing - but really it's a great house, WITH AWESOME neighbors, so PLEASE tell your friends!

My Weekend from H E double HOCKEY sticks! Really Hockey!

So - Yes you can say hockey can sometimes be the root of all my problems....
Here is the summary of my weekend

Wednesday: Jeremy leaves for Arizona for his BYU hockey trip

Thursday: Calm before the storm -nothing monumental

Thursday: I very irresponsibly didn't go to bed until 2 am at which point Tyler woke up in hysterics and stayed in bed with me, tossing and turning, and kicking me until 4 am at which point I snapped put him back in his room and passed out. At 6 am he was up again for good. Sleep total=2 hours

Friday: Yoga at 9 something, then a blur of work and Tyler chasing, then hockey practice at 4:45 (my own) late from a traffic jam, then went to Jeremy's parents house to watch the BYU VS ARIZONA D1 game on the internet because I didn't want to drive all the way back up to Salt Lake and miss it. Well by the end of the 2nd period BYU was loosing 6-2, Tyler was READY for bed, so I left. I thought I would make it in time for the last few minutes and besides we were getting creamed. Well somehow, we came back scored 5 unanswered goals in the 3rd period and I missed the whole thing- got home just 2 seconds after the game ended. Oh Ya - Jeremy's sweet sweet sister, backed into our car when it was parked in their driveway - a couple scratches.

Friday Night: Tyler freak out part 2 -partly cause he is sick and partly cause he misses Jeremy
Sleep Total: 4 hours

Saturday: Rush to hockey practice at 12:45. Tyler PUKES a big fat discusting cottage cheese looking milk bottle over the entire car seat. Go to hockey practice. Get home with high hopes for a shower for me, a bath for Tyler, a laundry cycle for the car seat, and a dishwasher cycle. So what do these 4 things have in common - they all need water. What was missing in my pipes? Water!

So I would turn faucets on and water would come out for 10 seconds then it would just slow to a drip. I called a myriad of people, asked my neighbors if their water was out, and even called the city. The city said it was my own problem, not theirs since no one else had the same problem. I stink, I'm tired, I hate hockey road trips, and all I ask for is running water. Well when Jeremy finally calls me after his game he says "oh that's an easy fix -Tyler saw me turn the water to supply to the outside off last week when I shut down the sprinklers, he probably just turned the house supply off because he thinks those pipes are fun to climb" Sure enough... that was the problem. I had only been in the basement for 2 seconds with him and he somehow did that when I wasn't looking.

So anyways, last time Jeremy went out of town I enjoyed the free time and quiet- This time- not so much. I enjoy having a partner in the Tyler chasing, bedtime fighting, every day water supply parts of life.

p.s -Tyler's car seat is now clean and it only took me 45 minutes to take apart, and 45 minutes to put back together. Oh and did I mention that at hockey I got a bruise the size of a puck - and black as a puck too.

Tyler Finds His Treasure

This is really old, but I realized I never posted it....

I don't think this sequence needs many words. Nope, it's not the bottle the BABY is going for.




I promise you all, I am doing my best to keep him away from ALL soda. It's not a vendetta against Diet Coke. Despite my best efforts, being related to Weiss's ... it's inevitable.

My Son the Crazy Hockey Fan!

So in our half unfinished basement we let Tyler mess with the TV a little more then upstairs. This is him figuring out how to turn on Jeremy's old hockey DVD. He's a riot. Watch until the end.
