safe and sound!

we're home from france and we are safe no worries!! just a quick "wanted to let you all know", that despite the use of an IUD, that worked fantasticly for 2 and a half years, i am pregnant again!.. so now we are getting ready for #3!!!!.....but fair warning to you all, because i have yet to removie my IUD, there is a possibly of miscarriage, so pray that i keep it! cause despite the fact that it's a pleasant surprise, i'd like to keep it... anywho, keep watching, disney land paris pictures coming soon!!

so we had our ward party the other night and it was way fun! it took us ALLLLLLLLL freaking day to get ready for it, mainly because i had to make a dessert, and get the girls ready, and get me ready and help merritt get ready and help her daughter get ready, (i like doing hair...) and yeah, any who, i gave the girls a bath and got their hair ready to be curled, it took a lot of hair spray and goopy stuff, and well, we had some fun with Kaylee's..it stayed like this for almost an hour!
he he, my little unicorn...:)

awesome...

so yeah, sot the dessert i made a cupcake cake. it was really good! if i do say so myself, it's not exactly professional, but then again i don't exactly have all the tools of the professionals... and honestly I've never been much for cake decorating...

however, i love getting my girls all dolled up!
they turned out beautiful!

and as always nikoys always up for a good pose! she's going to be my little super model, she doesn't care if it her turn for pictures, she's going to jump into the picture any ways!

Kaylee tends to be camera shy..at least when I'M the photographer.. she just wants to sit in my lap and watch the screen on the camera... it drives me crazy..

but ain't she cute!! my little Cinderella! she's the perfect Cinderella! unfortunately, despite the goop, the hair spray and the mousse, moose, foamy stuff, her hair didn't exactly turn out how i hoped.. but no biggie.. she's still gorgeous..

sorry no pictures of me, the only ones i had of me im standing with cory and he's being grumpy about letting me put him up here so.....sorry!

here's our princesses, aryka got all dolled up too, but heaven forbid they hold still for 3 seconds for a decent picture...

rulon, going along with the theme, was the night in shinning armour! prince charming to the rescue!! and he was quite the flirt....

merritt, seeing as how rulon was prince charming in shinning armour, and aryka was snow white, merritt was the super sexy evil-not-so-old-and-crony witch lady.. ain't she pretty?

ha ha got a good one of Kaylee....

the party was a candy land theme, and they had various rooms, with different games they could earn candy in, and the girls had a blast!! playing croquet for nummy-nums... (m&m's)

and our friend Angela and Jerome's room was a fun filled, balloon fest! the girls had a BLAST! they LOVE balloons, it was awesome...well done Angela....well done..

so yeah that was the party and such, lots of fun, we didn't do much trunk or treating, it was starting to sprinkle, Cory wasn't feeling well, and i needed to go to the store before it closed, so we left a little early. but any who, its Halloween today, the girls will probably dress up again and we'll take them out to a few houses and let them get some teeth rotting sugary goodness. any who. oh one more thing, the 3rd through the 5Th of November, we will be very difficult to get a hold of, because we'll be living it up at euro Disney!!!! (YAY!!!!) we are very excited ( i think Cory is more excited then any of us..) I'll have the camera on me and we'll be taking LOTS of pictures, so watch for the next blog! i can promise TONS of pictures.......since on one day our girls will be wearing their costumes... :).. we're going to see if we can get a picture of nikoy with aurora, and Kaylee with Cinderella.. any who.. wish us luck!! we love and miss you all! be safe! and as far as trick-or-treating goes, don't eat it if it moves!!!

:) do you like it? it only took three days to color, (note to self: buy tablet and mouse pen...makes things easier..)

we got a package!

so we got a package from nana the other day and it had everything we could ever need for the next little while in it...so THANK YOU NANA!!! anywho, before we get to the good stuff, i wanted to show my brilliance, i decided a while ago that i needed some hot curlers, and im very happy i did... it makes doing the girls hair a little easier since we've discovered Nikoy may have daddy's hair color but its definatley mommy's hair, even drowned in everything from hair spray, mousse, gel, you name it, the curl doesnt last long, if i leave it be after washing the natural curl is still there, but any long pretty ringlets i do are gone within an hour... so i got the hot rollers so before family pictures i could roll her hair and take out the rollers just before picture time, and heres the result!!



with curlers!

after curlers!!! GORGEOUS!!!

Kaylee with the littler rollers,
and after...GOREOUS!!!!
so pretty and curly!! and yes we are watching sword in the stone, its one of mommy's favies....

so in the package the girls and i got some super soft wibbies (thats anderson for blankies...) the girls have matching princess wibbies and i got tinkerbell...:) i love tinkerbell....:) anywho, yes, kaylee is curled up in a laundry basket, on her bed...........it doesnt look to comfy but she slept for an hour and a half so she must have liked it...

so i've done some fun decorating (if you can all it that....*sigh*) in the girls room, and other then the care bears on the shelf, and Kaylees pooh bear bed set its almost fit for a princess, i only wish i could paint the walls, they would have a soft pink room and i would probably cut stencils of tiara's and they'd have tiara's and hearts all over the place, i dunno, i havent decided... anywho.. i cant do it here so i have time to plan..

thier beautiful disney outfits (thank you nana!!) will continue to be decorations even after they have outgrown them..im going to MAKE some pretty padded hangars, each hangar will match the dress, and some even more fun
coat hangars, im going to see if i can find somewhere that will make me little wooden hearts, then im going to drill a big enoug hole to insert a dowel, and WALLAH! paint one pink, one blue and one green and i'll have some super cute dress hangars! anywho... im rambling..

kaylee's pooh bear bed set doesnt quite match the room yet, but give it time. as soon as we find out whats going to happen to us we'll fix that... (no we still dont know whether or not we're staying airforce....you'll know when we know....oy.. i hate the waiting!) anywho...just before we leave for our next base we are going to sell or just toss these cute little white metal toddler beds, and get a fun (safe-ish) bunk bed. we went to ikea the other day and nikoy found the bunkbeds and wanted one so bad, we watched her and kaylee climb up a few different ones so figure nikoy would be on top kaylee would be on bottom.. and when nikoys not in bed sleeping the ladder will be put up, so there wont be any accidents..... anywho...(we've already got the twin size bedding for them.. all we need is the bed! he he he.. )

anywho, in the packages nana was wonderful enough to send the costumes we've been searching for, these arent official pictures mind you, there will be more... oh yes there will be more, nikoys hair will be so curly she could get tangled in it... anywho... enjoy these...

nikoy is going as her hero, sleeping beauty. and it suits her... she's got the long blonde hair the blue/grey eyes (depends on which sleeping beauty picture your looking at..) and she's pretty in pink or blue.....

and Kaylee is CLEARLY cinderalla, no im not kidding she IS cinderella... look!^^^^^^ see!! yes we've replaced her head band, its a lighter blue one that matches the dress perfectly! and she now has a black choker instead of a blue...you'll see.... and in the spirit of the season, my dear friend merritt has decided to dress her daughter as a matching princess, unfortunatly, there were no cute ariel costumes that we could find, but merritts mom managed to find a beautiful snow white costume! so yes, aryka is a red headed snow white, and its beautiful!!

i took alot of pictures... you would too if your kids were this cute!!

Kaylee has unfortunatly discovered a new habit that drives mommy up every wall in the house at least twice.... as soon as the camera comes out she starts crying.....unless someone else is taking the picture.... then she's happy and fine....but if mommy's behind the camera....SCREWED!! we also learned that kaylee is terrified of my nice soft comfy velvet background... so as soon as the backdrop was taken away...she smiled.....oy...

all three of them make beautiful princesses, rulon, aryka's little brother, is going to be a very handsome knight in shinning armor! we just need him to get feeling well enough for a picture....

cory and i havent decided what we want to dress up as (if we dress up at all, i may just go in my pajams and when people ask what i am i'll simply reply: "tired"....) cory's thinking of doing something along these lines..

creepy, is it not? kind of dark and misterious.....i told him he needs to where his tux and be a evil prince or vampire, but he smiled and reminded me of his braces, and i giggled and said, "vampires can wear braces, who wants crooked fangs?" he didnt think it was funny... anywho.. sorry no pictures of sherry today, my rosaecea (rose-ay-she-uh) has decided to come back and haunt me... so... yeah.. it sucks.. anywho... if i ever choose a costume i'll be sure to take a picture..
we'll have family halloween pictures.. :)

anywho, on a last note, you'll remember when i mentioned going to ikea? well i've got a new addition to my fox family, most of you well know sherry has some psycho obsession with foxes, in fact my fox family has a total of 33 members so far... and this mommy and baby are my newest ikea members!
aint they cute!!
these are my german foxes, yes even my key chain is a fox... deal with it!! and yes that is a zoo animals plate, its a fox, so it belongs in my family and if anyone ever finds a copy of the book "i love you because your you" stop and read it, its sooooooo cute!! anywho...

this is the whole collection, except the two knives..:) yes 2... fox knives....what can i say? im obsessed.... and the drawing to the right, if you cant see it very well, really is amazing, i'll have to scan it in and put it on here, it is courtesy of my favie big sister, she is an AMAZING artist! so yes... my fox family is always looking for new members...:) anywho. thanks for sitting around and listening to my rambling.. i know i can go on and on and on and on and on..:) i LOVES YOU ALL!!! be safe and we miss you!

what a day, oh what a day....

OK first off....HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!!!!!!!!

what a weekend!

we woke up on saturday morning to prepare for conference, and well... we ended up just sitting around instead...:) then i took out the camera and decided to play and figure things out, and just when i thought there was nothing to take pictures of, the girls came through yet again!
Nikoy walks into the living room wearing my slippers, yes, big, fuzzy , and ssssoooooooooo warm!

after Nikoy made her grand entrance Kaylee chose to follow suit, and when mommy's slippers are taken, whos are left?? Daddy's!!!!

the girls then proceeded to fight over daddy's way cooler then mommy's, black bear feet slippers,



Kaylee finally got distracted and lost interest in the slippers, leaving Nikoy to her imagination..
and well Kaylee was having so much fun, i had to join..and well, being mommy i know everything there is to know about my babies (im a snoop...) and i happen to know where their most tickleish spots are....

TICKLE TORTURE!! MWA HA HA HA HA HA!!!


well...as usuall kaylee stopped being ticklish as she was once again distracted by the poor unsuspecting kitty cat...


poor tortured soul....

the poor kitty is capable of defending herself, but knows better where the girls are involved..she knows she can chew on me all she wants, but with the girls it's all show....

she says "why wont you save me???" i say "its so cute..."
(no animals were harmed in the taking of these pictures....and yes Kaylee was shown the proper way of treating the kitty cat.) anywho, sunday came and I went outside, cant for the life of me remember why i went outside, probably to get something out of the van... but i happend to look over in the bulk garbage pile and found the cutest little rocking horse! so after a moment of dumpster diving, I had Cory bring it up for the girls.. the only thing i can see thats wrong with it is the handles are missing and the poor thing has these little bolts coming out of it's head,,,,IT"S FRANKENPONY!!!!!!! anywho, it's kinda short for Nikoy, but Kaylee LOVES it!! it's her yee-haw, cowboy! and it's light enough that she can grab it by the ears and drag it all about the house.............hmmm kitty strangling, ear pulling on pony's..should i be worried?


after a busy day of...well...nothing....it was finally bed time!!! (YAY!!!!!) we put the girls to bed and cory and i enjoyed ourselves by watching a movie, with no constant questions from Nikoy or Kaylee useing me as a trompoline... it was rather nice.... after our movie i went to go check on the girls and found the adorableness... i remember when i slept with teddybears.....
this special bear was given to Nikoy by her Grammy for the last christmas we spent with my side of the family. Nikoy hugged it the whole plane ride over here, and she still loves her beary....
Kaylee was given a whole set of pooh bear toys, (pooh bear, piglet, tigger, and eeyore) for christmas last year from Nana, and it looked like tonight was tigger's night..:)


so i spent saturday taking ALOT of pictures..:)...yes very many... anywho, i've been complaining to cory because my little brother just went through boot camp and he sent my mom all his graduation pictures where he's standing in his nice air force blues in front of our flag, and Cory didnt get those pictures when he graduated from boot camp, so i dont really have any nice pictures...so he got in his blues and let me do my photography thing, and now i have some nice pictures!!!

mmmm i love a man in uniform..:) cory in his airforce blues.... and


cory in his ceremonials....not just anybody has this uniform. he got this uniform for being on the honorguard at our last base. he did so amazingly well, and he was thier favorite, so when we got his orders for germany and he had to quit the honorguard they gave him his uniform as a thank you....and he does look amazing in it.


anywho. we re going through some seriously stressful waiting.. cory has started his MEB (medical evaluation board) and they are currently deciding between a few different things, either they will medically release him (basically kick himout for medical reasons) and we'll move somewhere and get on with our normal civilian lives.. or they could medically retire him, which would be nice, he wouldnt be military any more, but we would still get access to any base, and commissary and BX, and we would get partial benefits, our medical wouldnt be completely covered anymore, we'd end up with a co-pay, but oh well, at least we're still insured! or they could just decide to retrain him into a job he can do, that wont destroy the rest of him, which would mean they would give him a list of jobs that are critical (meaning there arent enough people working them) and he would have to choose one and get retrained... so we could be home anytime from december/januaryish, to april/mayish. so, yeah and we'll find out hopefully by the end of this month.. so yeah...wish us luck and stuff..
