Bread, Cache, and Beiber :)

I got a breadmaker! We went to the Conners for dinner last sunday and she made the best cresent rolls from dough out of her bread maker. She made it look so easy! When we got home Moana kept talking about how much he loved home made bread. ( i very rarley make it ) So we looked on Craigs list and found a great bread maker for $25.00. Since he likes the bread that is like $5.00 a loaf we decided it would pay its self back in like 5 weeks. :) I LOVE IT!! it has this great feature.. the delay setting.. The night before i add all the ingredients to the pan set the delay timer for when i want it to be finished, and when we wake up in the morning we have nice hot bread!! This is our newest loaf.. MOANAs first and Newest. He made this Cinnomon Roll bread Loaf almost all by himself :) It tastes AMAZING!! I love it!!

We found our first GEO CACHE yesturday! Teagan loves to find the little treasures! We live really close to some great trails and parks. One inparticular has like 15 Caches along it.

The Beib! :) He sings almost the whole chorus sometimes.:)

Heavenly Father to the Rescue!

Sometimes when it has been a really really long day and my patience are running Very low. One of the kids will do something that makes me feel like i am going to snap. Occasionally i will Fold my arms and bow my head and Say a prayer out loud So they can hear me then i will let Heavenly Father know that Teagan or Aaliyah has done something i asked them not to do for the 1 millionth time and that my patience are almost gone. Then i ask him to help me get threw the next few hours till Moana gets home and then i will end my prayer..
Today after telling Aaliyah to please sit down and eat her food,like 5 times i walked away to get something.. Teagan then Gasped and said Mommy! She had gotten up again. Then he Said this as he folded his arms with his head bowed "Heavenly Father Aaliyah is Testing Mommy, can you please come over to our house and help Aaliyah sit down. Jesus Christ Amen" Then he looked at me and smiled and said "Hes on his way" :) I didn't think they really payed attention when i would do that but i guess he does :) It made my and Day!!

They are so Sweet... Most of the time.

Teagan lately has been Super cute to Aaliyah (when they are not fighting). He is so sweet with her. He loves to help her do everything. They are both getting so big so fast. When the disagree about something it normally starts with Teagan Saying NO! or MINE! and then Aaliyah will Shout it back at him. They will Go back and forth getting louder each time until there is an intervention. Most of the time he is sweet though. We were on a walk the other day and Teagan looked up at Moana and Said Daddy you are my BEST FRIEND :) it was so cute. He has lots of friend! He loves his friends. Aaliyah is starting to talk quite a bit she can say NO and MINE, really well and I LOVE YOU, and Momma and Dadda. I cant believe how fast they grow up.

On a side note. After almost 5 years i am finally going to finish my Beauty School. This last month i got up really early and spent 3-4 hours a day 6 days a week ( besides the long weekend of Kevins wedding) studieng to be prepared for my Evaluation. I had to test on theory and practical. Depending on how good i did determined how many of my hours would transfer. I am proud to say i did really well and i get to keep all my hours and it will only take me 1 month and 3 days to finish and get my license here in MD. Im pretty excited, its LONG over due!

Kevin and Martha's Wedding

This Weekend My Little Brother Kevin got married! His new wife's Name is Martha. She is such a sweet girl! It was such a fun, busy and crazy weekend. We had around 15 people staying at our house from thursday to sunday. It was so fun! The day couldnt have been prettier! It was sunny and almost warm for the pictures and the rest of the day. Kevin Looked So handsome! and Martha looked So beautiful!
The reception was Amazing! i have never seen the church gym look so good! It took alot of work! But the end result was So worth it! Kevin had asked Moana to sing the 1st song they danced to as husband and wife. He did such a great job! Their dance was so cute! Every little detail of the reception was perfect! It was a great night! More pictures to come.(these were just off my phone) CONGRATULATIONS KEVIN AND MARTHA

Valentines / Wizards Game

Last night Moana and i Went to a Wizards Game! It was so fun! That was his Valentines Present. My cousin Emily's Husband Jake works for them So they hooked us up! ( Thanks Emily and Jake!) I was expecting like nose bleeder tickets, Which i was totally pumped about. But No they were VIP tickets!! We didnt even realize it. We go find our row and are trying to find Isle BB. They kept ushering us further down. BB is right behind AA which is ON THE FLOOR RIGHT BEHIND THE BENCH!!!!!!! it was FREAKING AWESOME!! We could see ourselves on TV :) haha But it gets better! Jake came down to say hi and told us there was food and pointed to a corner. There was a lady worker at the end of the row so i went to double check.. She looked at our tickets and said OH YEAH VIP right over there ALL YOU CAN EAT!!! We ate a little before we came just so we wouldnt starve but i ate as much as i could in there! Oh My Gosh it was Awesome. One of our best dates!:) So fun! Thanks again Em and Jake :)

New Place New Friends

Our new home is a town home.. Still like 300 $ more than what we where paying for our old place (dont get me started on how expensive everything is out here!) My neighbors are AWESOME!! and we have a POOL! The second day we were here my neighbor Marja brought us banana bread still warm! it was Great! She has been So good to us. Always letting me know when there are things going on. We live like 10 min from Columbia. There seems to be so many fun things to do there. Every Thursday they have a kids Thing at the mall. It is an hour long. They are so entertaining and the kids loved it! And you get a free Carousel Ticket at the end.

Shoot Out

Long Story Made Shorter: On the Ninth of January our neighbors that i knew were drug dealers, Had a drug deal go bad. After going to bed i was hearing something, i couldnt decide if it was Teagan walking around upstairs or if it was out side. When i realized it was out side in the back yard Everything happened Really fast.. We had an Aluminum Shed in our back yard, I heard something like someone walking on the roof of it and then POP POP POP POP. REALLY LOUD!! I wake up Moana really quick and ask him if he is hearing this, he then ran to the front window and POP POP a little bit further away. Then we see one of our neighbors running up the street limping and then layed down in the back of someones car. I called the police they got there with in a few min. Again long story short.. At least 10 cop cars and a helicopter were surrounding our little street. They brought out dogs. Never Found the Shooter, and had CSI at the house all night. After talking to detectives and letting them know what we heard and saw found out the shooter came into our back yard stood on-top of our shed, Fired 4-5 shots threw our neighbors window hit two people. Ran threw our back yard to get away. They returned fire and hit another neighbors car. No one died just got hit in the arm and one in the leg. A few days later i found Blood in the back yard by the fence. I am guessing from either the shooter or someone that got hit. So We decided we needed to move. Found a place, packed up and moved by the end of the month. So we moved from our Cute little home So close to DC up to Laurel.. But i LOVE it Here so far! Pics of our new place to come soon!

Baby Shower

I had the opportunity to throw Lexie a girl in my ward, baby shower. It was the first one i have ever done and i had so much fun doing it. The party we had on New Years were the same decorations and stuff so we were able to use it twice. It was just a few days later so i left everything up. The Theme was "Shes about to POP" we had a few different kinds of pop corn, Pop, Popcicles, Blow Pops, and pop Corn Chicken. Robin did the games and they all went along with the theme.. it was really cute.

Sleep Over

Jessica, Daedon, and Heaven came to visit for a weekend. Teagan and Daedon had a little sleep over then we got up and rode the metro down town to one of the museums. It was a lot of fun.
