My kids

ok so first of all Harley came in crying because, Novalee told her that she (Harley) was going to be mean and never change. Does that make sense to you?
Second I told Gunnar to go get a diaper because he was soggy he told me no so I told him to get me a diaper because I needed a diaper for me. He said ok and ran off. Jason then came in and asked me why Gunnar was getting into my tampon box. I just had to tell you. It was so funny.

Part of our chaos

I know I need to do so many makeup posts but I just need to mention something so exciting for Novalee. She is going to start dance class and she is just so excited! Harley doesn't want to do it which is understandable because she is extremely shy and I am worried about kindergarten for her. She has a hard time going to Primary. Anyways Novalee is just so excited because next week she has a dance camp and they are going to learn a Hannah Montana routine and get a Hannah Montana purse (I think).

This is my hero. His name is Trevor. He is Jason's cousin. He is just so cute and when he is 16 he will have to fight the girls off. He mows our lawn now! I think he is now one of my favorite people. I wanted a picture showing his braces that came off today but isn'e he so cute!!!!

I will post more interesting things I promise!

So anyway we have been really busy. I have so much I should post on, like my awesome nephews birthday and fathers day and Jason's really exciting night at wrestling but my lack of motivation, my messy house, I need to upload lots of pictures, and I have a Nancy Drew game to play makes me not post. Its just not my fault you see. Do I need to mention Bonny is in Utah for a few months? Don't miss me too much.

Crazy Busy

Toronto

Does anyone know why someone from Toronto keeps looking at my blog?? =)

Looking for....

I have decided that this year I am getting nice pictures taken of our family. If anyone knows a great place to take pictures let me know. I don't want a studio picture because they don't really get the real family. Let me know!

My official WORST picture ever! ( I think)

I still don't know why I am putting it on. BTW That is a shirt under my black one.

I also cut my hair on Saturday. Now I think it looks like a mullet but its really easy to do. Talk about bad pictures. Good thing Nathan is so cute!

Novalee's last day of school 1st grade

This is Novalee and her teacher Miss Crane. We love Miss Crane!

This is her class. These kids are so great! I am going to miss seeing them everyday in her class! Those two boys with Novalee are the boys that she called her "boyfriends" They both wanted pictures of them. It was cute! Usually I say no boyfriends to Novalee but I love these kids!

These (if you can see them) are the balloons that they sent off in memory of Daniel and Jennifer. Their family was there. It was really nice.

Just Thinking

Don't you just feel lucky sometimes that you were most likely not born with portions of your butt growing out of your face?
Just thinking

Make Over Time!

The kids had so much fun doing their makeup. They also did mine.

My Trip

I just arrived on my long deserved trip. Isn't it beautiful here?

Gunnar gone wild!

I think he gets all this from his dad

Introducing.....Espinoza family obviously being lazy!

Looking at Jason's face you can tell why I fell in love with him. He looks so good with a clay mask. I don't know why my chin was up in all the pictures. I think I was trying to avoid the double chin. Gunnar didn't want a mask on.

Poor Novalee

Last night an accident happened up Provo Canyon and one of Novalee's friends died. He was in her class. Its so sad.

Mothers Day a week late

I think I should say how much I love my mom. She rocks. Too bad for Jason though I got some of her humor. She lets me tell her anything and still loves me. I have shocked her many times. That is love.

Jason's mom Kathy is also a wonderful mother. She is always willing to listen to me. Even when I am complaining about Jason. She is always willing to help us anyway she can. We love her so much.

My step-mom Kathy is wonderful for my dad. I am so glad he found her. She likes to laugh and loves our family for our weird faults. She is such a great person and we love her.

This is not even to mention our wonderful Grandmothers that we both have. Jason and I and or kids are so blessed by all these mothers in our lives

Confessions of a Bad Mom

I have some terrible confessions from this week!!
First on Wednesday, I was at someones house for a few hours while I was waiting to go pick up Novalee from school. I go to her school on time to get her but she wasn't there!! It turns out that she had an accident at school and needed a change of clothes since I wasn't home and I don't have my own cell, they couldn't get a hold of me. Luckily Grandpa Jerry was able to go get her and watch her for a few hours. I felt so guilty especially since I know Novalee probably sat there waiting for someone to come and get her.
The very next day I got a call at 1:50 finding out that it had been an early out day and Novalee was waiting since 1:15. I had no idea! If there was a not passed out I didn't get it and poor Novalee sat again in the office waiting.
Ok, everyone may send me the bad mother of the year awards

Happening around my house

Everyone knows how cute my kids are...............sometimes. Here are some recent things that they have done
Today Harley called Grandma Kathy and said, "Can we come over this year?" she was asking to go to her house today
Novalee was told to go throw her gum away before bed. She did but she also had to throw it in the toilet while Harley was going potty.
We had some friends over the other day and the 2 year old looked like he was hurting Gunnar and so I went and picked up Gunnar giving him hugs while the other mom was getting after her son. Gunnar stops crying, looks at the other little boy and says, "Nah, nah, nah" Where did he get that?

That is just some of the things they have done.

Happy Birthday Granddad!

Today is Granddads birthday! He is such a great grandpa. I am so lucky to be his granddaughter.

May

Not only does this month have a lot of birthdays for my awesome family but it also is the National ALS month. http://www.alsa.org/
Unfortunately I don't really pay much attention to these kind of things and don't talk about these kind of things until it affects me. I don't like to get into serious details but my wonderful Grandma was diagnosed with this awhile ago.
Hopefully everyone will take some time and read about this disease.
