Single's 2nd Ward

On Saturday, July 28th my hubby, Dave spent half the day with Halestorm Entertainment doing a small part in the upcoming movie Single's 2nd ward. I have connections with friends who are in the business and was able to get Dave the part. They even offered me to be in it but I decided that it would be too hard with my state board exams and three children. I was excited that Dave would get the opportunity!!!

Dave had a great time getting to know the people on the set and going over his small part. Dave is a city worker in the movie along with two other guys and Kirby runs by them thinking they are the three nephites. So if you want to look for Dave in the movie, it is scheduled to come out this November!

Babysitting Five

Well, I took care of two of my nephews, Elliott and Oliver, along with my three kids from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Vanessa, 4, Elliott, 4, Chandler, 2, Ashton, 4 months and Oliver 2 months. Five children all under the age of four! It's like caring for twins with Ashton and Oliver because they are so close in age and are babies! It is a little tricky because your are out-numbered five times! It's really hard to get any one on one action for the older children because the babies need constant attention when feeding, holding and changing them when they aren't sleeping. But they are all so cute! I do have some dang cute nephews and of course I think that of my children too! It does make me think if I can handle more kids, but of course they all won't be so young when another one comes along. I enjoyed caring for the babies the most because they just think you are so awesome in this time of their lives!

Look at Oliver's cute smile!!

Look at all of that hair! When you have Ashton next to Oliver, he looks bald!

Resemblence?

What do you think? Does Ashton look like me? Here is a picture of me as a newborn with my mom and a picture of Ashton while we are sleeping.

Say Goodbye to Elder Frisby

Our youngest bro has left for the Birmingham, Alabama mission!!!! He left last wednesday, July 18th! We celebrated with lunch at the Sizzler! We wished everyone could be there! Jake is now in the MTC and from what my mom has said he is really enjoying it! He will be a wonderful missionary! We'll miss you Jake!

The Best Day EV-ER!

Today I woke up about 6:45 a.m. and moved as fast as I could to get the children ready to be dropped off at Dave's mom's house, because it is the day I take my stateboards written exam! I was a little bit nervous because if I fail the test I would have to pay another $75 to retake it again. I studied my little head off in the time I could between crying, diaper changes (two kids I might add), the kids "needing me", bathing, babysitting other kids and everything else under the sun. etc. Etc. ETC. So I arrived at the Thomson Prometric testing center and signed in at 8:40 a.m. and took the long-dreaded test. The time frame being 2 1/2 hours and I finished at exactly 2 hours! ...and guess what? I PASSED! I PASSED! I PASSED! YAY! HOORAY! LET'S PARTY! I took my stateboards practical last friday and I was there from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. doing things like perms, chemical relaxers, tapers, haircolor, uniform haircut, and sculptured nails etc. For all those who don't know, cosmetology was a hard thing to do! Let me remind you I did it in the middle of having three kids! I did it when I was pregnant and going to school from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. straight! I did it when at times I didn't want to and I could have quit. It took for-ev-er to do but I can't believe it's done with! No more worries! Now I can really concentrate on my family! I also want to thank my husband Dave for standing by me and encouraging me when I thought I couldn't do it anymore! For all the support he gave me when I needed it the most! Your awesome Dave! I love you!
You know everyone thinks cosmetology is easy, they think it's for people who don't care about education, or for those who are dumb, but you will never know how hard it is until you are there yourself! It is hard, you have to know so many things that you didn't even think cosmetologists would even have to know! Chemistry, formulations, ergonomics, physiology, business, and much, much more! ...AND I DID IT!!!

4 months old!

Yesterday Ashton turned 4 months old! Dave and I guessed he would be at least 14 lbs. now, but we were off just by a little. I took him to the doctor today and he weighed in at 13 lbs. 12 oz. so pretty close to our guess. He is only 26 percentile in weight, 50 percentile being average. He is now 24 inches long being 22 percentile, and his head measures at 41.5 cm being 30 percentile. So overall, even though our little Ashton looks like a chunk, he is really below average in growth. He is such a cutie! He is now rolling over, he is starting to grab at things with his fists, he can follow you in a room with his eyes, and he is pretty ticklish and loves to giggle! He is such a patient little boy! Which makes it easier having three children! He now sleeps through the night at least 6 hours! Yay! We are so blessed to have him in our family!

Boondocks

On Saturday, June 2nd, 2007: Dave's work has a summer party each year and this year we spent some fun at Boondocks in Draper, Utah. There are many different things you can do to entertain yourself such as go-karts, bumper boats, miniature golf, batting cages, laser tag, kiddie cove, arcades, rock climbing wall and tons more! We also had lunch there with all of Dave's co-workers and had tons of fun. Everything was paid for by Authorize.net which made it that much more enjoyable. I think Vanessa and Chandler had the most fun because when it was time to go they cried and cried! (I know this was a while ago but I am so backed up with our postings because I am studying really hard for my state board exams that are on July 14th).
