HELP!!!

I have a problem that I just don't know how to deal with and need HELP immediately!!! She's a 6 year old spit fire that does whatever she darn well pleases with no regards to what either of her parents say. Hannah Jane!!! Every morning its the same thing...get up..get up Hannah...Hannah if you don't get up right now your grounded!! Get dressed...Hannah get dressed...That's it if your not dressed in five seconds your really grounded!! Take a bite, Hannah take a bite, holy crap take another bite.... Find your coat, get a pony tail, take a bite!!! You catch my drift?? By the time we are in the car I am so frustrated I want to yank her hair out... Please someone, anyone give me some advice that will help me with this stubborn child. We pick out her clothes the night before, if its not the clothes its the shoes... I would love a morning with no yelling and no tears!!! Any suggestions!!

Happy Valentines Day to me!!!

Taylor and I went to the mall Saturday with 2 missions, get me a new bra and a something to wear to church!! We started at Nordstroms (I had a gift card from Christmas burning a hole in my purse). We went over to the lingerie department and after realizing how small it was we were about to leave. As I stood up from looking at the bras a cute little sales girl said, "Can I help you find something?" I came out of my shy shell and said "I need a bra with tons of support, one that when I bend over my boobs won't fall out and I hate having the 4 boob syndrome!!" Taylor was kind of shocked I let it loose like that!!! The sales girls asked if I would like a bra fitting and I thankfully said "YES". I didn't realize that meant they were in the room trying on bras and actually touching you, but in fact it does!! I have been so desperate in my search for a new bra that I didn't even care!!!! She poked and prodded, I wiggled and jiggled and WAH LAH!!!! I have TWO, count em TWO new bras that I absolutely LOVE!!!! I don't fall out when I bend over, I've got support up the wazoo and no more of that nasty 4 boob syndrome!!! I am so happy!!!!
We didn't find a Sunday outfit at the mall, so we went to several other stores. Target was our jackpot!!! After trying a cart full of stuff on, we found 3 dresses that actually looked decent. Not because my body is in such great shape, but because we found these two lovely little inventions. One, a smoothing thigh shaper and two, a waist cincher!!! Put them both together and you get one foxy mama!! That may be taking it a bit too far, but I thought I was looking PRETTY good!!
SO now, I am sitting here tying in my new bra feeling foxy and loving every minute of it!!! I hope your Valentines Day is as great as mine!!!

Snowbird fiasco!!

Snowbird is always SO much fun, but it wouldn't be exciting without one of Hannah's little fiasco's!! Her & Lexie (9) decided to take a little adventure, without telling anyone. They someone found themselves locked out of the condo. They went through a door (see pictures) that said "EMERGENCY EXIT NO RE-ENTRY!!!

They were on the 7th floor wearing a bikini, flip flops and a little cotton cover up for Hannah. Lexie was in sweats a t-shirt and no shoes. They were definitely in a pickle. Hannah in her infinite wisdom decided they should climb up the mountain and go around to the front of the condo. (That was really the only thing they could do!!) Halfway up, Hannah lost her shoes and they were both barefoot & freezing. Some guy from the 9th floor saw them climbing up the snow and called 911!!! By the time the police had gotten their they were on the canyon road. The canyon patrol picked them up, hysterical and freezing. They told them they were staying at iron blossom and he took them back to the condo. The police wanted to call an ambulance to be sure they didn't have frostbite, but the girls just wanted their mommies!! Aunt Holly went down to get them and we were all shocked to hear the story when they got back!! I have to say that Hannah has been SO watched over in her short little life. She has a guardian angel sticking close to her!! THANK HEAVENS!!!!

This world IS a great place after all!!!

Last month Dan surprised me by paying our rent with his own flippin cash. Well, I got a call yesterday from our landlady that said she hadn't received our December rent $$. I was confused...Dan had paid it. So I sent her December & Januarys rent (a huge lump sum...ouch!!) and had Dan do some checking. It turns out he put the money into someone else's account, not the landlady's!!! LUCKILY the person's account it went into was VERY honest and told the bank. They have been waiting for someone to come in and claim it. Dan went their today and they gave it back to him in cash!!!! WHAT A BLESSING!!!!!

The Holidays are OVER, finally!!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year and have been truly blessed!!! I am so thankful for everything we have and that the holidays are OVER!!! Let me explain!!!! On Christmas Eve night, Dan and I were getting everything ready.... As soon as everything was done he got a HORRIBLE headache. We went to bed around 2 am and woke up at 6:30, the headache was still there!!!! We visited Grandma H. & Grandma T. which was wonderful, then headed home. The headache was there all weekend and then he decided to add on some tightening in his chest. On Monday he went to the doctor. They said he had a sinus infection and was starting pneumonia. He was given a 5 day Z-pack. That night he told me he was feeling really weird. On Tuesday, Taylor and I headed down to Grandma H.'s because Hannah & Makena slept over (it was also the day of a yucky storm and the roads were awful) Ethan called and said Dad fell and cut his head open.."I put a band aid on it" it took us 3 hours to get home because of the storm. Dan's head looked OK, but there was a 1 inch cut on his forehead. That night around 1 or 2 he sat up in bed then all of a sudden fell out. He had passed out again. Then on Wednesday, he was walking to the bathroom and passed out AGAIN.... and fell and hit his arm on the corner of the wall. It immediately was swollen. We waited for Taylor to get home (she went to Sun dace with her friends to snowboard) at 5:30 we went to the doctors to get an x-ray. The doctor scared me to death...he said it was not normal to be passing out and falling like he was. He was very concerned that he was having an aneurysm, brain tumor or meningitis. He wanted to send him to the hospital in an ambulance!!! Dan told him that we would drive ourselves, the doctor made me promise that we would go to the hospital. (his arm was not broken). At the hospital there were tons of questions, blood tests, and urine tests. About the first urine test, the nurse gave him the jar and a wipe pack. He went to the bathroom by himself, but called me in to help him get up. He was trying to get the pack open. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was supposed to wipe the pee of the toilet with the wipe they gave him!!! I just laughed, that's to wipe yourself off before you pee!!! His answer was he wasn't dirty... What a spaz. Well.....5 hours later, (thankfully Laura came up to help Taylor with the kids, Thanks again Laura!!!) They were ready to send us home. They said everything looks normal and that it must be a reaction to the z-pack. WHATEVER!!! They gave him a new prescription for augmentin. New Years day (a couple days later) He said he was feeling better and that I could join my family at my sister Wendy's house for a party. Ethan stayed home to watch him. He passed 2 more times and the second time hit his arm again. When I got home his hand was huge. I couldn't believe it. He went to the doctor the next day and it was so swollen they had to send the x-ray to a specialist. The doc did say they got more info from the hospital. He had a STAPH infection and that was what was causing him to pass out. (My sister Jeanette went through the same thing with staph and mentioned it to us. She was right!!) SO...after a week of passing out and worry we finally get an answer and a BROKEN arm!!! LOVELY!!!! Today, 1/4/10 everyone is back in school, Dan went to work and my house is so quiet it is freaky, I LOVE IT!!!!
