Way to long!

I haven't posted anything for a REALLY long time! Maegen is here visiting me again!!! I am so happy to have her here!!! Last night we went to see The Proposal. It was pretty funny! Then I got a call from the Elders and went and helped them with a walk through of the church. It was SO awesome! The girl, Jordan, was really sweet- and has lots of really good questions! I felt a little bit bad... Chris (one of the guys in the ward) had invited us to go frisbee golfing with them... and we didn't end up going because the missionaries called. Lol. Its a good thing my friends are all for missionary work! Haha.
Other than that, I have just been keeping super busy! I love my job, but it can be super tiring! So can my social life. haha. I am SUPER sad though, because a lot of my friends from the branch here are going back to school soon... hopefully they make it home for the holidays! Well... hopefully I make it home for the holidays!!!
I am super sorry and will try to post more often!!!
Love you all!!!

Pics from St. Patty's day

The case of the missing phone

Sorry its been a while since I have updated...

But- today we were playing hide and go seek... Aiden was supposed to be "seeking" and looked for us in my room... where he saw my phone. So I go in my room... and notice my phone is missing... yeah... I had to hunt for it for a really long time. haha
As for other news, Amanda got a nursing job that she is excited about! And for me, I have met some pretty fabulous people here! I have made a bunch of friends... and crushes :D

anyway.
Love you all!!!

Love and Memories

Well... I'm sitting here next to my bedroom window listening to the rain pound against it. It is coming down so hard that it seriously looks like I am in a car wash or someone is spraying the window with a hose. Anyway, Emily wacked a good 8 in off her hair yesterday... now its super short! She also pulled the dresser down on her yesterday morning... we were glad nothing broke! We went to the zoo a couple days ago, that was way fun! They love the Balugas, Walruses, and otters. We spent the majority of the time in the aquarium part of it.
I also went to church (keep in mind here that it is my 2nd sunday and they just got my records today) and I was asked to give a talk- next week! Joy! I really shouldn't be so sarcastic about it... but I have never been good at writing talks... and prefer not to give them in front of certain people either. Anyway... Picture time! Emily (a couple days ago before she cut her hair) was loving the camera. Here are the products of that!

Life is a highway!

so, today was my first day without Amanda. She had to go to the orthodontist appt. So, naturally, the kids had to see how far they could push me. But its ok. I think we set some boundaries. Emily is actually the one that is having a harder time adjusting to someone being here... I would have thought it was Aiden... but he is taking it really well! I am sure Emily will get used to it... but for now she is spilling her juice and crying 100x's more than she normally does. Anything can set her into a fit of tears, and she quite often spills her juice and last night spilled her food (applesauce and steak) all over the carpet under the table... its been an adventure. But a good one!!! Also, Amanda came home and handed me an american eagle bag... she replaced the shirt Aiden bit.. haha. (just to clear some things up he was just wound up, not throwing a fit... haha) and she bought me 2 new shirts to replace the one. haha. (oh! at the kids gymnastics today, there was a kid in an older class who had spend 5hrs. prac. everyday! (moms orders) he was AMAZING!!!)
Love you all!!!

As The World Spins Around Me I Laugh and Roll My Eyes

Well... Today Emily said Aiden was here mommy... haha. We played outside for a long time playing like we were putting people in the dungeon (I dont know who was good and who was bad... It changed alot...). Aiden was playing and, for some reason... I dont know why... he decided that to grab ahold of me, he would use his teeth... not on my skin, but on my shirt... here is the ending to that...
That is my arm... not my back where the shirt was ripped. The other pics. are of the house. The chandeleir is in the living room, and then there is a pic of the kitchen, and the "wall" where amanda just kept putting more and more pics up. Then a little video following Emily down the hall (from my door) past Aiden's room and into the "bonus" room where they do all the homeschooling and such.

All Hail the Heartbreaker

sorry... its super short... and my voice sounds creepy cause I am sick. blech. But on a somewhat lighter note... a guy asked me for my number tonight... but not the guy I was hoping would... darn it! The other guy was super duper cute! Though he was there when I was asked for my number.. maybe he will see it as competition? Or just ask me out anyway??? I hope... anywho... I am super glad to have a camera and a social life! :)

Do Do La!

Well... went to the singles ward today... it was pretty good.

Poor Aiden has a rash that covers his bum and spreads all the way up his back! Amanda thinks it might be cellulite... its really bad... and the poor little man can barely move with out hurting alot.

My nose is SOOOO stuffy and I have a really bad cough and am sneezing constantly... Pretty sure I got this cold from Emily...

I dont really have a whole lot more to update on...

So for now,
I love you all!!!

Trying to find relief down a one way street...

Hello Everyone!!! Well today was most certainly interesting... I had thought that it would have been Aiden that tried my patience... But seriously, I love that kid! He is such a sweetheart! Nope, it is the other two (especially the oldest) that try me so much. But I think once I get my ground a little more, it will be good. I am starting to get sick... so I guess its a good thing that I have one more day till I am off for my two days off. haha. I don't know what I am going to do... probably go out in the van with the GPS and run some errands, and explore a wee bit. Hopefully I will be able to accumulate a little more of a social life soon! haha. I do get along really well with Amanda, so its ok... I really would like to meet some ppl around my age though. haha.
Anyway. I am going to crash for the night!
love you all!

I'll keep tossing rocks at your window...

Hey all!!!
Sorry I missed a post last night... I was pooped. Nothing especially exciting happened yesterday... Today we went to the library and the to downtown Olympia to the children's theater... we ate at a rest. on the puget sound (SOOO pretty!!!!). Aiden kinda got to break his diet today...he had a cheese sandwich and fries... and a burger... I swear... that kid eats more that brock!!! Anyway... Amanda and I ran to the store tonight and go chocolate ( I got M&M's!!!!). None of the kids were there... they were home with Scott. It was fun. I have some really cute pictures of Aiden and Em dressed as doctors. They are on my phone though... But it was really funny because I was talking to Aiden and called him Aiden and he ignored me... so I was like, "Doctor Sanders?" and he turned around and was like, "yes?" It was so cute!
I hope all is well with everyone!!!

What would you think of me now? So lucky so strong so proud?

They LOVE the camera on my computer. It was SOOO funny to watch them watch themselves. Emmy and I went outside and played and walked around while Sasha and Aiden were at school. Then we went to Lowes (with Amanda) before Aiden got home. So we splurged while we could, and got some burger king. haha. Then the little ones took a nap and Sasha and I went and worked with Rosey and Abigail (the dogs) for her 4-h. And we all played outside again. Aiden was SOOO funny. He would go down the slide in weird positions and once face planted and just got up and shook his head and ran bakc to do it again! haha!

First Day off :)

This is Kiah- reporting for duty. haha. Actually I have been off today, but still have spent some time with the kids. Most of it was just when they took me in to Olympia (its actually Lacey... but pretty much Olympia) and we went to Costco, and Big Lots.
I used the camera on my comp. to get some pics... I hope they work alright... they are of my room (it used to be Emily's room) and of the view from my room.


Hopefully I will be getting a real camera soon so I can share more with you guys!!!
A quick update on the kids- Sasha likes to follow me EVERYWHERE! She wants to come with me everytime I take a walk or anything. So to be able to get away just me for a little bit, I went out by myself (when Sasha and Emily were in homeschool) and went and explored in the woods. Aiden is a sweetheart- I have a bit of a soft spot for him. He is less demanding of my attention than the girls, and everytime he tries to talk to me or sit on my lap Emily is there wanting my attention too. haha. Emily is a little firecracker. She is brilliant. SHe is also way cute. She is always wanting to follow me everywhere too. haha.
well I hope all is well with everyone!
love you all!

Here!

Yesterday I flew out of Spokane, and Amanda came with her two girls (Sasha and Emily) to pick me up. I didn't get to see a whole lot yesterday because it was nighttime when I got here... but today I looked out the window and was taken aback by how gorgeous it is here!
The family is great too! My room is upstairs by the kids... down the hall aways... and I have a bathroom across the hall from me- and all to myself :)
I will write more later.
love you all!
