May Dance Review

Last night was Avah's Spring Dance Review. Avah LOVES putting on makeup, getting her hair done, dressing up in costume and performing. She looks forward to it ALL YEAR LONG. I love to watch my little girl get up with all the confidence in the world and perform. I dont really like to get up in front of people and I hope she will alway love to perform. They had 2 songs that they danced to the first was calld Sprinkle Sprinkle Little Roses (it was about watering your roses and they had little watering cans as their props) and Lollipop (they had a BIG plastic swirl lollipop's). When I was little I danced to Lollipop and from what I remember it was one of my most favorite performances. I was able to find flowers to match the color of Avahs dance costume. Darn I cant get my pics to load. I will keep working on it.

thought i would DIE!!!

with my new shift twice a week i have to be to work at 4am which means that my alarm goes off at 2:50am and i am out the door buy 3:45am. today i decided to dress up for work so i work a long black skirt with white and teal blue swirls on it. all day at work i walk around and answer agents questions that they have. today i was 1 hr from being off and i was helping an agent and the agent behind me and to my right was trying to get my attention. i asked her if she could please wait just a min and i would help her. she kept trying to get my attention finally i turned around to answer her and she pointed out that i had a tear in my seam about an inch and a half long right on my butt so my hot pink and white pokadot unders were showing to the entire world!!!!!!! i thought i was going to die right there in the middle of the bay. i am so glad she told me because i was able to turn my skirt and have this amazing lady Ronda sew my ripped seam. it embarrassing that i walked around for 7 hrs with no one mentioning that there was a rip in my skirt and everyone being able to see my unmentionables( i hope no one saw but i have no idea since no one told me about it), i survived and I CAN DO HARD THINGS.

St. Patricks Weekend

We had a great weekend. it was wes's birthday its so weird that next year he will be 30!!!! LOL I remeber when i thought that was old. Thursday night we went to Poky to get Colten and then went to Jerome to stay the night, the next morning we drove to Boise to have a fun time with the family. We did some shopping, swimming and LOTS of hanging out togeter. Saturday we went to Joe's Crab Shak..... its was fine but i dont know if i would go again, the food was ok but it was over priced. if we go again i would get a dish or maybe even the kids Captin Basket it looked Delicious LOL. we also saw Mars Needs Moms I thought it was pretty cute, i cant wait to see Rio when it comes out i think it looks FUNNY.
Tonight Avah and I ran to get subway (im on the new EARLY morning schedule and IM EXAUSTED.... NEW GOAL be in bed NO LATER than 9pm)i was asking avah what she wanted on her sandwich "i want tomatoes, olives, pickles, the other pickles (cucumbers), AND salad " LOL the girl behind us in line started busting up. she was eating some sun chips (harvest cheddar) "MOM, the chips have crumbled cheese on them and the machine made them have lines" ill be so sad when she doesnt say cute things anymore some cute saying i want to remember :

*She likes boys with squishy cheeks(thought i was going to die)
*Willy Wonker = Willy Wonka
*Oat Milk = Oatmeal
*Marry Potter = Marry Popins

when i think of some more ill post them.

HOT WATER

for those who dont know already last tuesday i got a pretty bad burn on my stomach. i was making dinner and went to pour out some boiling water. i was holding the strainer in my left hand and the too heavy pot in the other and when i went to dump it out i wasnt strong enough with one hand and the water poured on my stomach above my belly button and i got a burn about 3in x 6in. i cant even tell you how badly it hurt. i cant imagine ever getting a bigger worse burn. i follow nieniedialogues and she was in a plane crash with her husband he was the pilot and burned 80% of her body. she was in a coma for a month or more, i cant imagine going through that. my burn was tiny compared to her accident. i am so thankful that my burn wasnt worse. when i got burned i called my mom who is a wound specialist in idaho and she told me what to do. im so glad i didnt have to go to the hospital. i have new skin growing where the burn is and it itches really bad. i hope we stay burn free for the rest of my life :)

September & October

i've been slacking on blogging. its been over a month!!! SO Wes and I celebrated our 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!! it was so fun, we went to Wendover for the night. we did a few slot machines and i lost all my money, wes actually won money so that was fun. we saw Jim Gaffigan he is freakin hillarious!!! we were center stage and 3 rows back. it was so fun i laughed for the entire show i think it was 2 hrs long. we went to one of the buffets there and it wasnt that great... if we go again we will eat at a sit down restraunt instead.

My mom had her 50th bday!!! they had a huge party for her it was on a weeknight so we werent able to make it. the first weekend in Oct my high school girl friends and i went to my family's cabin for a girls weekend/good bye party. it was SO MUCH FUN!!! my friend Hailey is leaving for 18 months to serve a LDS Mission. we stayed up way too late talking and laughing. we watch movies that we made in high school and all i can say is WOW was i immature LOL and i hope avah has as much fun as i did when she gets older.

my dad also had his 50th bday, the night of his birthday my mom and sister came down to help make some crafts at my wards fun friday craft night. the next morning we got up and went for a walk and then came home and had breakfast. at about 10am we started our shopping marathon LOL. around 2 we broke for lunch and wes came and met us. little miss had enough shopping for the day(we all thought she would out shop us because she LOVES to shop. us 3 caught our 2nd wind and shopped till 6 that night. i had so much fun with my mom and sister I WISH we lived closer. Yesterday was my birthday, it was such a great day. i got so many birthday wished from friends and family. we went and had a yummy dinner at Olive Garden, we got calimari and i think avah at as much or more than wes and i(she suprises me with the foods she likes... how many 4 yr olds do you know that love sushi and calamari and other "grown up" foods). Today my aunt katie and cousin Alisa took me to lunch with our girls and we had a great time. my friend katie gave me the movie P.S. I LOVE YOU oh my gosh that movie is so good. i can not wait to watch it, it is a tear jerker and I LOVE IT!!!

i need to share my appreciation for my birth mother giving me to my parents. she could have choosen to have an abortion, im thankful that she didnt. growing up i couldnt wait to have a family of my own and especially children. it was hard for me to not look like my brothers and sister. i love when people tell me that avah looks like me. its amazing to me to think that i look like someone. i just want everyone to know that i am so thankful to my birthmom for giving me the gift of life. even tho i have never met her she holds a special place in my heart. i hope that some day i can meet her and let her know that i am thankful that she gave me a great childhood, amazing parents, a great husband and a beautiful daughter.

At around 8:00 Friday night Preslee(my cousin's baby) fell into a canal in rigby. About 2 miles down the canal a farmer who was working in the water saw her and immediately started CPR. His brother was with him and called 911. She was air lifted to EIRMC and then flown down to Primary Children's Hospital. The Sullengers could really use all the prayers, thoughts and help anyone can offer. some friends of Pat and Ashley set up a website that people can donate money on the website. Thank you in advance to anyone who keeps Ashley, Pat and Preslee in you thoughts and prayers. **I linked the two sites to the right side bar**
