Happy Halloween!...

2011-11-03T00:24:00.001-04:00

Halloween was fun this year. Jeff and I had a fun party to go to and it was Pirate themed as you can see. It was so much fun! We had a blast. Adi had a fun school parade and was the cutest ladybug ever! I found the eye make-up idea on pinterest and Adi was so excited to wear make-up and I was the coolest mom for doing a lady bug on her eyes. Thanks pinterest! Kohen was a scary dragon with a big growl to go with it and Miss Haizley was a cute and cuddly cupcake. So dang cute!!! :)

Haizley and Kohen-September Birthdays!

Summer fun!...

2011-08-22T13:18:00.008-04:00

Adi's all done with Kindergarten/ Singing class

2011-08-22T11:21:00.004-04:00

Playing catch up because I have been a slacker this summer.

This is Adi's kindergarten end of year program and some of her art work from class.
Adi is in the white shirt and about ten kids over from R-L in the front row.

Adi stole the show!!!...This is just a little taste of our little performer. She did so good!

Haizey being funny!...

Disneyland Surprise...

2011-05-10T20:25:00.008-04:00

That's right everybody! The kids got a big surprise when we told them we were going to Disneyland instead of on our way to take Adi to school. So exciting!....'This is going to be a great adventure!' According to Adi. She was so funny when we surprised her. Watch some fun videos at the bottom of this post.

After a long drive we get to our hotel!

Surprise #2 is G-ma Pauline and Papa Kenny!
They came to join in the fun! So did Ivie and her kiddos.
The cousins were so happy to see each other!

Breakfast with Mickey and Friends!

Breakfast with the princesses!

Oh, you silly boys!

Ha ha!

G-ma and baby Haizley!

Haizley was such a good babyl. Look at that happy girl!

They had so much fun with they're cousins and with G-ma and Papa!

Adi's birthday breakfast and hugs goodbye!
When we got home we had another little party with the G-ma and G-pa King.

California in March...

2011-05-03T14:08:00.006-04:00

At the beginning of March we went out to Oakdale for my brother Jarett and Haylie's little baby boy Deegan's blessing. We had fun on four wheelers and hanging out with our cousins. It was awesome to see everyone and have so much fun. The cousins sure have a lot of fun together. I love it!

Adi lost her 1st tooth!

2011-03-02T15:35:00.003-05:00

I can't believe how dang big she is!

Haizley is a growin'

2011-02-07T20:29:00.005-05:00

The flash always freaks her out. Her eyes look like that in a lot of the pictures...I can't believe it! She is getting so stinking big. She will be 5 months tomorrow. It is flying by so fast.

Compaq Crashed so...Catch up!

2011-02-07T18:32:00.008-05:00

So my compact laptop turned on for it's last time and then we couldn't get it turn back on again. So here is a quick catch up. This pic below is Adilyn in her Indian outfit she made at school. She looks so dang cute!

Here are a few catch up pics from Christmas.

Christmas morning checking out what Santa left after munching
on some yummy cookies! Santa is messy...

For some reason we had to coax them
down the stairs to their presents...still waking up, I guess.

But soon they jumped right in and we started opening presents!

Here is Adi...just opened a pretty dress from Grandma Beth....and a glamorous purse to go with her dress! Kohen was happy with his cars watch, candy and one of his favorite movies, Despicable Me.

Christmas was awesome! The kids got spoiled like usual. Santa brought them a Kinect for the xbox and games to go with it. Great job all the Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts and Uncles! Everyone loved all the presents! I got an extra surprise from my hubby. I really wanted an amazon kindle but new i wasn't going to get one...but Jeff was awesome and won one for me from work. I was super surprised. Big thanks everyone... We are so grateful and love you all!

Here is a video of Adi playing the xbox kinect. Her favorite game kinectimals.

Congrats to Steve and Jenn

Haizley's Blessing Day

2010-11-10T17:07:00.004-05:00

When the busy morning was over, our ward was at 9a.m, she was happy to get out of her pretty dress and go to sleep on mommy's shoulder. She is so sweet! Thanks to all the family and friends that came and helped out! Love you all so much!

Jeff in the fast lane...

Happy 3rd Birthday Kohen!...

2010-09-27T20:46:00.005-04:00

Kohen's Birthday is tomorrow the 28th of September and our big boy is going to be 3 yrs. old. As you can see in the pics we had a Batman Party this last weekend. Kohen got everything batman and more. We had a yummy dinner with corn on the cob per Kohen's request. I have also been talking to Kohen about what kind of cake he wanted. He just kept going back and forth from motorcycle cake to Batman cake. Luckily I found Batman on a motorcycle! Yipee!!! The party was a hit and he is one happy kid! Happy Birthday to my baby boy! Love you Kohen!

Yep...Kohen is going tp be Batman for Halloween!...duh!

Baby Haizley Re-cap...

2010-09-21T15:02:00.011-04:00

How it all began!...

It's a girl!...(sorry it's blurry)

Here we go...ready or not!...I was ready :) Doesn't that IV look like fun!
I am the needle QUEEN by this point...

Yeah, I'm hot!...Ha ha ha!

She's here! The sound of her screaming was music to my ears since that was Kohen's problem and we had to live in the NIC-U. She is so precious!
This is me in recovery after being put back together. This is me holding her for the first time.
I fell in love with her instantly!
Back in the room and time for Adi and Kohen to meet their little sister.
They both did so good and they are so cute with her!
The Grandma's and Grandpa's had a turn as well.

...But once everyone was gone and I got to have time with Haizley all by myself I was one happy Mama. It's exactly what I needed to motivate my recovery. Jeff was actually the first one to hold her and he got to spend some Daddy time with her once everyone was gone but he was also in charge of taking pics so for some odd reason we have no pics of him holding her... Oops!... He was awesome in the hospital. Thanks babe for helping take care of me and Haizley. I had some emotional moments and he was great!

Haizley is dressed and ready to go home.

I was ready to go home too!
Let's get outta here!!!

Adi has been so amazing! She couldn't be more helpful. I have had to tell her no a couple times when she asks to hold her in the middle of me feeding her or right when she has fallen asleep after being a little fussy but I am so happy she is excited to help out. She is in love with being a big sister to Haizley. Kohen is doing good too but he is having a little bit more of an adjustment. He asks to hold her all the time but it usually doesn't last for very long. We are all doing very well. I love this outfit!

These last two weeks have flown by and I have been lucky to have help from my parent who came and stayed with us.
Puzzle fun!

I don't think I can thank my Mom enough. Thanks to my Dad too but there is nothing like having your Mom around when you need help. My mom was absolutely amazing in helping me. She helped with the house, laundry, kids and even got to steal some cuddles from Haizley. I hope she had fun while she was here. I appreciate her more than I can express. I love you Mom!!! Thanks again so much and we ALL miss you like crazy!

So as of yesterday it was back to the real world. No Mom and no Jeff like I had during the weekend...But... I did it!!! I am sure I have some stressful days ahead of me but so far so good.

So yesterday after we picked Adilyn up from school we had some fun outside. Haizley did a little sun bathing while the others kids rode their bikes and played. She is so gorgeous...I can't believe she will already be two weeks old tomorrow!...Ahh!
I love her and my little family!... I guess we are not really little anymore...there are five of us now!

Haizley May King

2010-09-14T21:14:00.006-04:00

Time to go home!...Finally!

So happy to be home!

big kids all around...

2010-08-31T15:05:00.004-04:00

There are big kids all around our house. Adi just started kindergarten yesterday and loves her teacher Mrs. Gray. She is making friends already and told me last night that she yelled in class,'I love Kindergarten!!!' and everyone looked at her funny. She is so silly!

Kohen thinks it looks fun too because he had a fit when he couldn't stay behind and play too. He just kept saying,'My class! My class! Stay with Adi!' I tried to tell him that you have to be five to go to kindergarten but he didn't care. I think nursery on Sunday is going to have to do for now.

After we picked up Adi from her first day we played outside a little bit because the day had cleared up from the rain that morning. Kohen is getting so big! Guess who else is getting BIG?! ME...and baby!
8 days and counting!
Ahh!

More Cali...Six Flags!

Just Married...

2010-08-22T14:22:00.007-04:00

Adilyn and Kohen were the cutest little flower girl and ring bearer (sp) ever!!!

She was very serious when it came to dropping the petals...very serious business dropping those petals!...So funny!

Yummy Cake!

Cali Trip...

2010-08-10T16:53:00.010-04:00

Okay, So we have been back from California for over a week now but it seems like my vacation just kinda got over. My Dad drove back with us and stayed last week. It was so nice to hang out with my Dad and I loved that my kids got to get a little closer with their Papa Kenny. He was amazing while he was here. You may all know how handy my dad is but man he is a freakin' SUPER DAD! We got a lot done in the house and just having him see out home was great. We got a brand spankin' new entry way with a new front door and tiled entry way. We also got our sprinklers working a lot better, along with a color coded map my dad made with Adi's markers so there would be no confusion of what sprinklers did what. Ha ha! So funny! We got a new light in our kitchen too along with his help outside in the yard and all around!... I love my Dad! He was awesome to have and is welcome back and can stay anytime. Whether he works all around the house or not he is always welcome. I wish we could have done some relaxing things while my dad was here but it always seemed we were doing something and having daily trips to Home Depot. Now matter what we did we always had fun with my Dad!

Thanks again Dad!...We love you so much! I'll post pics of the entry way very soon...stay tuned!

Anyway...as for California it was so fun hanging out with my wonderful parents out at the 'farm'! That is really what they live on now. They have horses, goats, and my my Dad works hard on his garden...and there is just freakin dirt and dust everywhere!!! I mean everywhere! We had such a blast. My kids could and did dig in the dirt for hours and enjoyed taking rides on the tractor and four wheeler. Papa also gave them a ride on his Harley. The first day we got there Grandma took us to Oakdale Feed and the kids got some boots...Adi also got some country girl jeans that she loves and looks so cute in. They fed the goats with bottles and helped Grandma paint the barn. On the first Saturday we were there we went out on Justin and Ivie's boat to Lake McClure and hung out with the Murdoch's on their house boat which is always fun. I was kind of a challenge for me seeing I'm pregnant and huge but the kids got to tube and they both loved it...well... Kohen a little more than Adi but it was a very fun day in the sun.

Another fun day we went to Six Flags Marine World and saw some fun animals, the kids rode a much of rides and got to hangout with there cousins. It is so cute how much the cousins love each other. Again I didn't get to do too much because being pregnant and all but it was still great to see the kids have fun.

I loved seeing my family and it's always nice to visit Oakdale because it still feels like a home away from home. I was there for about 10 days but it went by so fast. I could have stayed even longer but Jeff was missing us too much! I love my family and can't wait to go back and visit again after this baby girl gets here.

date is set...

2010-07-19T12:41:00.005-04:00

(It kind of looks like Haizley is punching Adi in the face... Adi is so funny!)

I thought this picture was so funny of Adi. She is just so dang excited for her little sister to get here. She is always asking me if she is moving and wants to sit by me so she can feel her. She told me the other day, just out of no where, that she loved her so much. I told her I loved her too and just smiled to myself. I cannot tell you how much help she is going to be. She was a big help with Kohen so I can only imagine how much more of a little mommy she is going to be now that she is older.

So the date is set for Haizley May to arrive. Most of you know about my blood clot issue and Adi was an emergency c-section so to be on the safe side we just plan a c-section so there is no risk of complications. I am totally fine with it. Then I can plan in my head and plan my nesting to have everything prepared and right for when we get to meet her...which is...

September 8, 2010

I go into the Hospital at 7 a.m. to get ready and the fun part starts at 9:00 a.m. So she should be here at approximately 9:30 a.m. So I have about 7 weeks to go now. I am really getting excited...I love this little girl so much!

4th of July Weekend

2010-07-06T16:51:00.008-04:00

We had so much fun this weekend. I have to say I thought we wouldn't have much to do this weekend. I was missing my family in California. They always go boating and go to the Murdoch's houseboat and I was kinda sad I was missing out. Our weekend was just awesome! Saturday we went to Costco and then in search for some fireworks which always gets the kids excited.
On Sunday we went to see the Capson's and their beautiful baby girl Halle. It was her blessing day. She was so cute and the food was awesome. Good job Blake and Kristen! After that we went and saw my Grandma and Grandpa that live in Bountiful and then Jeff's Grandma in Kaysville. That night since it was the actually forth and the kids wouldn't stop asking we had some fun with some fireworks. Adi was crazy excited...Just look at her!...It was a good Sunday.

Haizley was kicking like crazy during the fireworks. Only nine more weeks to go!
Monday was a fun day that started early at the other Krum's house. My Aunt Camille and Uncle Randy invited us over for breakfast and then we walked down to the Layton City parade.
We came back from the parade and got our swimsuits on. The Gibson family came over for a swim party and some yummy food. We had so much fun! After all day in the sun and the Gibson's went home me and Adi laid out to warm up before we went inside. Adi was so worn out she fell asleep laying out on the deck. What a cutie!

So I was debating whether or not to post this because...well...me in a swimsuit and pregnant but it's just too funny not to share. Enjoy the pregnant cannonball!....listen for the grunt....ha ha!

We went to the Layton City fireworks and then came home and crashed. Hope everyone had an awesome weekend. I know we sure did!

Here are some fun videos from Sunday night fireworks. The kids are so funny. It might be kinda dark. Enjoy!...

Eclipse...was...AWESOME!

2010-07-01T13:13:00.004-04:00

So last night was the big night. We met down at the Gateway and ate some yummy dinner and then we were off to the movie. It was so good! I think that even if you didn't read the series and just wanted to watch a good summer movie you would not be disappointed. I loved that there was a lot more humor in this one and a lot more action too. I'm happy we got to know more about the Cullen family. I wish we would have seen a little bit more of Rosalie kicking butt in her flashback but I was just happy to see that it was in there. The wolves were awesome and the back and forth with Edward and Jacob was perfect. I loved the tent scene and can't wait to take Jeff. I think he is really going to like this one. I also just want to see again. =) I had so much fun!...

... I do have to say though...I have my friends from Bountiful and my friend Brooke and she invites her friends and family to go. I organized everything for the night which I was fine with...But I have a hard time...I think I feel a little torn between the two groups. I feel like I need to go back and forth and talk to everyone and I just end up feeling like I am not in either group. I had fun don't get me wrong, but I drive down there and down get to talk too much because I am driving. Then when I get down there I am just kinda stuck in the middle of both groups who are only talking to each other. Ugh!...It just really makes me miss my family! I miss doing this kind of stuff with my mom and sisters. I am going to make sure that I am with one of them next time. Man, I miss my family!

Anyhoo...the movie was awesome!...Go see it!

Kohen's Hair cut...

2010-06-28T13:45:00.005-04:00

So when it comes to Kohen's luscious locks of hair I have always trimmed and cut when it got too crazy. He normally cries the whole time and I have to wrestle with him to get it done. So I was slacking off lately because the last time I cut it he was so difficult. I just started brushing it to the side like Justin Beiber. It was cute but it was starting to look like helmet head. So me and Jeff both needed to get our hair done so I made an appointment for Kohen too! He was so good. I couldn't believe it....figures! So I had my camera there but Jeff took these on his iphone. I am still getting used to it. I think we cut all the sweet off of him because he has been extra crazy since we cut his hair... My baby boy is getting so big!

Look at all that hair!...Kelsey was awesome! She had him feel the buzz of the buzzers and he thought he was Batman in his black cape. What a cutie!

Buzz buzz...Here we go!

Handsome boy!

what's up with us?...

2010-06-22T19:03:00.003-04:00

So I thought I would post an update. We are, as I said before, all moved into our house. We had some fun earlier in the week working on the yard and cleaning up outside a bit. I went looking around the other day and found the manual to the pool filter and Jeff figured it out. He cleaned out the shed in the back and found all the hoses needed and we are super close to having the pool ready to go. We have had the hot tub good to go for a little while and I think the kids would live in it if they could.

We are loving our house and Jeff is loving his job too! He was just made an account manager and he is so grateful. I am too of course. My job, however, is coming to a close. It was a year in March that I have been working at Famous Dave's as a server and I am happy to say that my last shift is this Friday. I am looking forward to having the last couple months before baby girl gets here to just take it easy and have a fun carefree summer with my kids. Adi starts kindergarten right before I have the baby so it will be nice to have some calm before the crazy.

Everything is awesome and we are super happy! We are loving our ward too! Everyone has been very nice and welcoming. This summer is going to be a good one. I am in my third trimester now and I am looking forward to meeting this little girl. I am so not ready for her quite yet but I am excited for when we do meet. Kohen is feeling it too. We were at the store the other day and he wanted me to hold him. I did for a little while but after a while I was done. I told him I couldn't hold him anymore because I was already holding baby in my tummy and he was sitting on her. He was not happy to go in the cart. He just kept telling me, "Get it out, get it out!" Like I could just get her out and then I could hold him. =) Silly boy!

We all look forward to the next couple months. Wow... September is going to show up fast!

Memorial Day Weekend Move

2010-06-04T13:48:00.004-04:00

So this last weekend was a good one because it was a nice three day weekend. Man were we busy! Everything finally got good and done on the house and it was time to move in. I am loving the new carpet and just having space and a place to put everything. We are loving this place. We have had some frustrating things from the guy who lived here before us. I think he thought he was handy but was just kinda dumb. We have also had fun figuring out all the stuff with the pool. We are still figuring out our plan to get it ready for summer. We will probably figure it out this weekend. I am happy to say I have every picture hung and all my curtains up. It really feels like home. I am loving my kitchen, too! I am still not super happy about the blue counter tops but I am okay with them for now. I love the quiet at night and the birds chirping in the morning. The kids are pretty happy too! Adilyn just keeps saying,'Mom, I love our new house!" We are still working on all the stuff we had stored in the garage. I need to go through all the kids cloths and the other stuff we have been moving around with us and get it organized. I need to go through baby cloths for this new little girl coming in only 3 more months. It is crazy how fast it seems this is going. We have just been busy and time has been flying by.

Thanks Jordan, Ty, Trent, and my awesome Uncle Randy for helping out with moving day.My husband was awesome too. I think his back is still recovering from our weekend. Love you babe! You guys were amazing! Thanks again!

We are getting everything organized and ready so we can have our first little house party! I think we are going to have an awesome summer!

Home...FINALLY!

2010-05-26T12:02:00.002-04:00

Man it seems like we have been trying to get in this house forever! We started looking back in March and came across this house and both me and Jeff really loved it. We are going to put some work into it to make it even better. We are both so happy that we are becoming home owners again. That has been our goal since we got back from New Jersey! I am so excited to just be done renting and be out of an apartment. We have had to sacrifice and work hard but FINALLY we are here! Woo Hoo!

This process has had a few snags along the way that were frustrating. Certain people just being annoying and not doing there job or over doing there job when it came to getting the keys. But we're all done with the crazy now and on with the MOVING. We took over a little bit of stuff last night and our new carpet goes in on Thursday. Then comes Saturday, the day of the big move! I just want to get in and get it all done.

Blake and Kristen have been in the crazy with us and we appreciate them so much! Thanks guys!

Preschool Graduation!

2010-05-25T20:02:00.001-04:00

Our Adilyn is all done with pre-school! She had her last day last Thursday. They showed us some songs and some fun things they have learned this year in Pre-school. Ms. Kate was an amazing teacher and Adi loved going to school. Adi really has learned so much! She was actually sad when we got home and was saying how much she was going to miss her friends and teacher. It's crazy she starts kindergarden this fall. What a big girl! Adi I love you and I am so proud of you!

ECLIPSE!...Trailer 2

2010-05-11T15:43:00.000-04:00

Baby #3!

2010-05-04T15:39:00.003-04:00

We had a nice little family trip to the specialist yesterday to find out how this little baby in my tummy is coming along. I talked to Kohen and Adilyn before we went and found out what they thought the new baby was, boy or girl. They stuck to what they usually say. Adi said girl and Kohen said boy. Even after the tech said it was a girl Kohen just kept saying,"No, BOY!!!" He is so funny! I think he's at peace with it now but he was cute to watch while we looked closely at the baby girl in my tummy. He just kept saying,"Baby, baby!" We all loved hearing the heartbeat and we got pretty happy when baby girl waved at us in the unltrasound. Adi was quiet and just watched in awe! So cute! We got some cute profile pics and they also sent us home with a DVD. Other than finding out that we are having a little girl they also checked everything else out and she was all good. Heart, lungs, brain, and all that other fun stuff that they check. So nice to know more info and know she is growing so well and is healthy. Until this unltrasound I think every mom has some worry of the unknown. I think they should do untrasounds more often in pregnancy. It just makes moms feel better when they can see everything is going and growing as planned. Maybe I am just crazy but that's my thinking.

I have to say that I had an hunch it was a girl. Just comparing pregnancies it seemed similar to my pregnancy with Adi. I am having a hard time finding any names I like. I am sure I will find something soon. I always like to figure it out pretty quickly because I like being able to talk about my baby girl by name. I don't know why, it just makes it easier for me. One less thing to worry about once it gets to the big day. We are so happy! A healthy baby girl! I am so blessed to be a Mommy. I love my kids so much and even though it is funny to think of adding another kid to the mix, I am beyond excited. I have been so blessed with a great husband who is aslo a kick butt dad! He's so good with our babies and I think sometimes he misses and loves them more than me...we'll call it a tie! I love my little family and I am so happy with life right now. We close on our house in just a couple weeks and I am so anxious to finally get out of this apartment! So many things to look forward to....Yippee!

Reunion and Cruise Craze!...

2010-04-27T18:19:00.016-04:00

So these last couple weeks have been super crazy! We had the Krum Family Reunion the 17th of April. It was so much fun. Grandma and Grandpa were awesome. The food was yummy and the games were so fun. We took one the days we were there and we did an early Birthday Party for Adi and her cousin Linken at Pirate Island. We all had fun playin' games, eating cake, and opening presents!...Adi and Kohen loved seeing there cousins and it broke my heart when we had to leave early to get back for our cruise. The girls were so sweet crying and hugging Adi. They didn't want to let her go. It was so cute how much they love and miss each other. It was great to see everyone!

We got home Saturday night really late. We unpacked and then packed up for our cruise. We got to bed about 3:30am and woke up @ 6:00am to get to the airport to fly to Long Beach to catch our boat to the Mexican Riviera. We started catching up on our sleep as soon as we got in our room.

Queen Mary Hotel @ our Port

Gettin' on the boat...finally!

The boat was beautiful!

Happily full after just the first of the meals on the boat. Then off to our room for that nap.

Pina Colada!!!

It was windy in Puerto Vierta

Mazitlan windy too!

Church in the background was really cool inside and out.

A few stops on our way back to the ship...still in Mazitlan.

Me and Val Shopping for jewelry!

Our Husbands waiting patiently.

View of our boat on the tender into Cabo San Lucas.

I love my hubby! He's the reason we are on this cruise! Thanks Babe!

Cabo Gold Pirate!

Last Dining Room night. Dinners were so much fun full of entertainment and great food.

We both had so much fun! It was so nice to get time together but man did we miss our kids!

Silly Kohen...

Kohen is so silly. We are always catching him doing the funniest things. Just the other night he was being a little too quiet. One of his favorite things to do is to clean, he even got a broom for Christmas and he loves it. He is always wanting to help me switch the laundry too. It seems that most times he is trying to help me clean that he just makes another mess for me to clean up but he just really likes to help. Anyway...I go into the kitchen to him cleaning the front of the fridge as usual but then he must have decided to clean his face too. What a goober!...Then he comes out with Jeff's shirt on which was funny but then a few minutes later he came back and had finished his look by adding Jeff's shoes too!....So SILLY!

I thought this pic below was hilarious! Looks like he is at peace with his outfit choice!

Disney on Ice!

2010-03-31T14:48:00.004-04:00

We went to Disney on Ice for an early birthday present from Grandma Beth to Adi. It was just us girls and it was so much fun. We had awesome seats and got cotton candy. This cute hat came with our cotton candy. We saw Cars, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, and Adi also loved seeing Tinkerbell. It was so much fun! Thanks again Grandma Beth!

New Stephanie Meyer Novel

New Stephanie Meyer Novella To Be Available Free Online

By Craig Morgan Teicher on Mar 30, 2010 10:49 AM

International phenomenon and Twilight series author Stephanie Meyer is releasing a new book with Little, Brown, her first in two years, both in hardcover and a free online edition. Entitled The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, the novella will sell for $13.99 with a 1.5 million copy first printing.

Here's what Meyer says about the free edition of the book on her blog: "There was one thing I asked for: since this story had always been an extra for me, and was meant to be released with the Guide, I wanted to be able to offer it to my fans for free. You all have bought a ton of my books, and I wanted to give you this story as a gift. My publisher was awesome and embraced this idea. We still wanted to also produce a physical book with a cool cover (see below) that you can add to your set if you like, but starting at noon on June 7th until July 5th, it will also be available online at www.breetanner.com."

Well, Twilight fans, now you've got something fun to read on your iPad.

King Family + 1 more

2010-03-09T15:27:00.004-05:00

Yep! Some of you may already know because I am not very good at keepin quiet about this kind of stuff. I am due Sept. 13th of this year and I am just about into my second trimester. I am hoping that once the second trimester hits I will get some of my energy back and the nausea will go away. Jeff and I are very excited but Kohen and Adi are so excited! They are both going to be such good little helpers. They are already so aware of the baby in my tummy and Kohen is always wanting to see the baby. Today he asked if he could hold the babies hand. He is still figuring all this out. He is such a sweetie! We should be finding out what we are having the very beginning of May. It seems so far away but it will be here in no time. I am excited, moody, and emotional and just plain crazy but I am very excited to have a new little one to add to the family.... We are very blessed!

Field trip to the Grocery Store

2010-01-22T16:16:00.001-05:00

Adi had a field trip today with her pre-school class. We went to Macey's Grocery Store and went everywhere. Each kid got a bag of goodies. In produce we got an orange and apple to take home. We got some go-gurt in the dairy section and went behind where they stock everything like the milks and juices. We got some candy from the shipping guy in the back and we saw the big ladder. In the meat department we got string cheese...I thought it would have been cooler if they gave all the mom's a roast or something but I guess the cheese worked. We did get to go in the back and see them make hamburger and put the plastic and stickers on it. The last place, my favorite, was the bakery. We saw them making donuts and they gave the kids a free cookie. Their donuts looked yummy! It took a lot to not buy one. Yea me! At the very end they asked what was the kids favorite part and Adi raised her hand and said,'I liked getting all the treats!' It was a fun day but we are all poooped out! It was a fun field trip, early, but fun!

King Christmas!

2010-01-01T17:08:00.004-05:00

Christmas Eve and it's time for bed! Got the goodies for Santa!

Brush brush brush!

Spoiled kids...man we just love 'em so much!!!

Adi absolutely loved her snuggie!

Christmas Videos 2009

2010-01-01T16:12:00.002-05:00

Kohen was watching Curious George and was cracking up! Curious George is a favorite in our house because this other video is Adi singing along with Curious George Christmas. Then of course we have our video from Christmas morning...enjoy!

Twilight Saga: New Moon...Ahh!

2009-11-22T15:27:00.004-05:00

So my thoughts on Twilight Saga: New Moon!!!!.... LOVED IT!!! I don't even have one bad thing to say about it. I really hope that Chris Wietz does Breaking Dawn! I am so glad we only have 7 more months until Eclipse is here! So freakin' excited!!!

Halloween!

2009-11-09T00:26:00.002-05:00

So I actually took more pics of the kids trick-or-treating on Halloween. I will post them soon I promise. I just wanted to post this pic from our fun Halloween party at the Capson's. We had a blast! I was the octomom (eight babies and big fat lips...attractive, right!?). Jeff was Tony Soprano (gun and gold watch are missing in the pic...he also talked 'jersey' all night... awe memories). Adi was a fairy princess and loves wearing make-up and glitter. Kohen was the cutest Superman ever...with the cute little curl and all...good thing his hair has natural curl because it made it so much easier. This is actually the only pic I have of my costume the way it was supposed to be. I have two others of octomom holding babies and more of Halloween night on facebook if you curious. Anyhoo...had a great Halloween and more photos will be coming soon...

Adi's Field Trip!

2009-10-12T16:36:00.004-04:00

Black Island Farms

It was kinda hard taking the picture and holding Kohen at the same time.

It was @ 9:30 in the morning so Kohen is trying to wake up still.

They both got to pick a pumpkin fresh from the pumpkin patch.

The train was a favorite last year and is even more fun this year.

Adi knows what to do!...Put your hands up!!!

They loved looking at the Pumpkins everywhere!...Big and small!

What a fun day!

The day we had Adi's field trip my Mom, sister Jalisa and her new Hubby Andrew were heading our way for the weekend. Kohen was a big fan of my new brother-in-law. He loves playing with guys...he gets enough of girls I guess. Andrew was so good with him playing guns and shooting stuff and each other. It was a a quick visit but we enjoyed seeing family.

Kohen's Favorite things

2009-10-05T15:06:00.002-04:00

Look at my handsome little man. He is so big! Here are a few of Kohen's favorite things from the last couple busy weeks....
Kohen turned 2 years old on the 28th of September and we had a small family party for him to celebrate. It was perfect for Kohen...he was just so happy to have his favorite person there...next to his mommy and daddy of course...

...his Papa is one of Kohen's favorite things for sure. He is always so happy to see his Cowboy Papa!

His cake was yummy and Kohen was happy to get the soccer ball cupcake! It has SO much frosting which made Adi very happy...the more frosting the better!
Kohen is a pro at opening presents! He had fun unwrapping every single one...with a little help!

Jeff tried to get pics of his presents! Nice smile bud!

This is the present Daddy found for Kohen at Costco and it was a hit!

Nice!

He loved trying on his new jammies! Pj's with a cape...what could be better!?

When Kohen is tuckered out he loves hearing papa sing cowboy songs while he takes a nap!

Kohen has been pretty happy to have two mornings a week with just him and Mommy. Adi is loving pre-school as well. She is having so much fun and learning so much already...thanks Miss Kate!Adi is always asking when do I have school again mommy! She can't get enough of it!

I am loving the fall weather and I am getting excited for the coming holidays. I am also excited for New Moon Movie that is right around the corner. Those of you who liked the soundtrack to the last Twilight movie...the soundtrack for New Moon will be released on the 20th of October and you can already pre-order it on itunes. Yippee! (I am aware I am a Twilight nerd!)

Happy fall everyone...going on a field trip to Black Island Farms on Thursday. The corn maze there is in the shapes of Team Edward and Team Jacob. Team Edward all the way! I'll post pics soon after!

New Extended New Moon Trailer

2009-09-14T00:39:00.002-04:00

Holy cow!!! There is so much in this trailer. I love, love, love it and I am super excited. Enjoy it if you haven't seen it yet or if you just want to watch it again...and again. =)

Side note:
I am happy to say I have finished reading Catching Fire, the book that followed The Hunger Games, and I loved it. But now I have to wait again for the next book and wonder what is going to happen next. Ahh...the suspense!

California Trip

2009-09-10T23:24:00.005-04:00

So our whole trip was go go go! We started out on Monday after Jeff got off work. We drove down to St. George and stayed over night at the King condo. It was a nice break and that is where we met up with G-ma Beth. We woke up on Tuesday and drove to southern California to our hotel just a couple blocks down from Disneyland. Adi was so excited when we pointed to the directions where Mickey lived. We got dinner and then headed back to get ready for our day at the park. We woke up early and even I couldn't sleep I was excited to get going. We went over to the Sheraton Hotel (thanks Lisa for the hook up!) where we were staying that night and hopped on the shuttle...

Can you see that they are excited...I think so...just a little! Ha ha ha!

These are the benches right outside the entrance to the park. We were waiting while Jeff went through the ticket line. Adi loved these Mickey's and it just added to her excitement!
We went right into the Park and through the castle where Adi was greeted and made a wish while she was sprinkled with pixie dust...bippidee boppidee boo! So cute...she still has glitter in her hair. It doesn't want to come out! Kohen was lucky too and got dusted as well. We were all covered! Kohen and Adi flexed their muscles trying to get the sword out of the stone! Kohen's really putting his back into it. =)

We couldn't pass on the tea cups even though I have had some bad experiences with my dad and him spinning WAY too fast. Jeff and Lisa spun like crazy and Me and Beth and the kids went on our own nice ride.

We lucked out and had barely any wait to get on the rides. Adi saw every princess she wanted and more. I love how you can have one on one time with every princess. They were all so pretty and Kohen thought so too. He hugged every one of them and was such a flirt. I love it! Check out his sly bedroom eyes. He was diggin' all the ladies! We couldn't have asked for a better day. It was hot but I expected that. I am excited to go back again....hopefully it won't be too long before we make it back.
We were tired and sore after our day with Mickey but we woke up the next day said bye to G-ma Beth and Lisa and headed up north to Oakdale. We got there and I had fun helping get bows tied, butneers(sp) made, hair bows glued, and teaching the hoedown throwdown...and so on! It was such a beautiful day!
Me and my sister Jannae were Maid of Honors and Adi was a flower girl with her cousins. Kohen was planned to be the ring bearer with cousin Taylor...as you can tell from two pictures up...he freaking fell asleep. I walked Taylor down the aisle. It would have been so cute...he did look so handsome anyway!
This pic is the best I had of all of us. We weren't ready for the pic obviously but you get the just , right?
All five of us married!!! Wow...I shed a few tears...not gonna lie...I am a Krum. I think I heard my dad say 'Free at last, free at last!' more than once. Funny thing...he cried more than anybody else! Love you daddy!
Jeff had fun getting some cute pics of Kohen. My boy is so big!!! I can't believe he is almost 2!
Kohen danced with Mommy!...and the Bride! Jalisa you are gorgeous...I love you and hope you and Andrew are having fun (wink , wink!) in Jamaica...spoiled!!!
Is was a fun and very busy trip. I am happy how everything went and I am happy to be home too! Kohen wasn't too thrilled to get in the car that final time but Adi just went with the flow. What a good girl! Thanks everyone...we loved seeing you all!

New Moon- Jacob Black Trailer

2009-08-18T14:41:00.002-04:00

So this is the trailer from Bandslam. I am not sure that I like the whole Taylor Lautner talking about the movie but I was excited to see more sneak peaks into the movie. I can't wait to see this movie. November is still so far away!...I'm so looking forward to this. I can't believe they are already filming Eclipse. Crazy!... Enjoy!

Fireworks and Family...

2009-08-04T15:57:00.006-04:00

So here is more pictures from when my family was here. I love my Grand-pa Fisher. Kohen loves him too. I think this is such I cute pic. What a good grandpa!

Adi absolutely loved helping out with my nephew, her cousin, Linkin. She has told me so many times she wants me to have another baby. I am glad she is such a good helper. She helped out a lot with Kohen and she is going to be even better with the next one. She tells me that she wants a baby sister next...I guess we will see.
Kohen loved baby Linkin too. He just kept saying 'baby...baby!' He would pat him on the head and try and give him balls to play with. I think he can't wait for him to get older so he can have a playmate. I am not quite sure he wants me to have another baby just yet. Every time I would hold Linkin or give him attention Kohen would get really jealous.

Yippee for boys!!!

For the 24th of July we seem to always end up @ the Capson's house for fireworks. They were nice and welcomed my family that was visiting too...the fireworks were awesome! Thanks again!
Well, everyone liked them except for Kohen. He liked looking at them but he didn't like the loud boom they made.
Doesn't he look happy! Ha ha ha! ( sorry but...from this angle my ta ta's look huge! ha ha!)
Ok, so this is Kohen dancing. I just love it! He straightens out his left arm and like bounces. He does it whenever he is feeling the groove of any and all music that he hears. It cracks me up! Then there is Adi trying to make sure she is getting some of the attention too. You go you crazy girl!

Private blogs...let me in!

2009-07-27T17:54:00.003-04:00

Alright everyone who has gone private!...
I want in so add me!...
kingleenie@gmail.com ...PLEASE!!!!...

p.s. here is Jeff's too! jeffkingut@aol.com =)

Family comes to visit ...

2009-07-24T21:08:00.005-04:00

So we had a whirlwind of visitors. We started out having Jalisa and her, awesome almost husband, Andrew. They drove here from California with my mom and Jannae, and with Jannae came baby Linkin (so cute!...and he loves me by the way...a lot!). They were here for wedding stuff and Jalisa was in a friends wedding too. It was wonderful to see them and hangout. Then on Sunday night my sister-in-law Ivie and my three nieces came into town for some cousin play. Kohen felt a little out numbered by all the girls but we had a blast. We went to the park and my mom got some pics of all the grand kids before Jannae left to go back to California. We got some good ones. I like some in color in and some in black and white but I can do both in one post because they don't match (I know I am crazy).So they are all in black and white. Thanks for coming family...sorry if it was kind of a tight squeeze...love you all!

All the grand kids!

Girls, girls, girls!!!

Kohen is happy that there is another boy
in the family...hurry up and get bigger Linkin
so you guys can play.

Baby Linkin

Yeah he thinks I am funny!

so cute right!

Summer fun and cake!

2009-07-12T16:05:00.006-04:00

We went to the pool yesterday and had a lot of fun.

Kohen is all about getting in the water. I actually put him under
a couple times but he doesn't like getting his face wet. Here he is
having a swim with Jeff.

Adi had fun laying out and listening to my iPod. She is
such a big girl.

She cracks me up. We just looked over and Jeff asked
me what she was doing...I told him she was laying out...
Duh, Dad! =)

What a silly girl! Kohen takes a minute to get in the
cold water.

This is when I was packing up and getting ready to move.
They were sitting on the back of the couch and sliding down.

G-ma Beth had her birthday and we had cake.
Adi and Kohen had fun chowing down.

Check out Kohen he has mad skills when it come to
to feeding himself. It is so funny! What a pig!(video)

homemade header!

2009-07-07T18:06:00.002-04:00

Okay...so I made this header and I am not sure that I like it more than the black and white I made a long time ago and keep going back to on the blog. I thought that black and white was kinda boring and that I should do something more colorful for the summer. I am curious what you all think. I know you would probably like to see some pics instead of my ramblings about being a perfectionist about my blog header but I need some input. I will get some pics of the kids and our fun in the sun soon...I promise!

finally!

2009-06-28T19:22:00.002-04:00

Yip-ee! We FINALLY got internet! I have a lot of catching up to do but I wanted to let everyone know we are all good and moved in...well the garage needs some organizing still but we are happy. Adi and Kohen are lovin' everything too. I will be posting some picks soon. Stay tuned!...

Pics and funny faces!

2009-06-03T13:15:00.008-04:00

I am glad they love eachother...
most of the time!

Adi took this one of herself!

Cowboy Kohen brushin' his teeth.
( I love this pic)

Adi's silly and crazy faces!

I am lovin' all these pics!
We had a lot of fun with the camera that day.
Adi just wanted to keep going crazy and wanted
me to take pictures of it. Kohen is even liking
the camera these days. We need to get
some updated family pics. Anybody have some
suggestions ?

New Moon Trailer!!!

2009-06-01T14:00:00.003-04:00

It is finally here!...The first trailer for New moon is here and I wasn't sure what I thought at first but I am really excited. I am excited to see a full trailer with Italy in it later on. I am hoping that the whole Jake transforming is from the Paul and him fighting scene and that it doesn't happen the way they show it in the trailer. Bella just sees wolves in the clearing with Laurent and doesn't know it is Jacob. They probably put those scenes together. I also thought that Jacob as a wolf would be more ferocious and bigger. We will see... I am still totally stoked about everything! I am not looking forward to Edward leaving but I know it has to happen. Taylor is freakin' ripped! I have to say I didn't hate it... but I am still all about Edward!I wanna see more dang it! I can't wait for November 20th!... Ahhhh!

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

Hoo Rah Mama!

2009-05-11T01:03:00.004-04:00

Happy Mother's Day to all! I wanted to let my Mom know how much I love and appreciate her. I am so happy that I am a mommy and that I have been blessed with my cute little angels... (sometimes devils!) I love Adi for so many reasons but she just has so much love for everyone. She is the sweetest little girl and is a huge help to me. She is such a happy girl and makes me laugh constantly with what she has to say. I love that she is starting to learn so many things and has so many questions and is eager to learn... but at the same time I can't believe how fast she is growing. Sometimes I want to stop her from getting so big so fast. Every morning she wakes up and is so happy." Look mommy I grewed in my sleep," She really is getting so big. I am so blessed to have her and I love that she is so content and over joyed with her life.

Oh...Kohen...this little boy is my world. I love his guts and the more he is starting to talk and communicate the more I fall in love with him and his funny personality. He's such a tender hearted boy and he plays with Adi so well. It's funny but most times he shares with her better than she shares with him. He loves his big sister so much. He is most happy when he has us all around to play with and that of course is when he becomes a little bit of a show off. Me and Jeff ask him,"Kohen, can you show me your smile?" We in return get the face you see in the picture. So cute right. What is not so cute is that Kohen is starting to talk and his favorite word to yell is NO! It was kinda funny at first but I like it better when he is puckering up giving me hugs and kisses over and over....speaking of the word, no...I thought that girls were dramatic but Kohen has his moments too. When he wants something and we say no, he throws himself on the ground and is sometimes a mad man. He will follow us into whatever room, if we walk away, and give us a repeat performance of the kicking and screaming. He is getting bugged right now because I am on the computer....

I love my kids and love being their mama! I am blessed to have an always willing to help Mother-in-law that loves me and my kids so much. I am so grateful for you Beth! Better give him some attention now...a mothers job is never done!...Hoo Rah!

Adi's 4th Birthday!

2009-04-27T15:11:00.005-04:00

On Adi's actual birthday...I had to work but we decided to move the party to Famous Dave's. Bob my boss hooked us up a little and I brought out a big chocolate sundae for Adi. She had fun seeing me work and I was still a part of her party. It was super busy so I didn't get to give them as much attention as I would have liked to but it worked out.

We had another birthday party on Saturday and invited friends and family over for a backyard BBQ. I made her cute cake and Adi had her good friend Haylie over to play with. They had so much fun playing dress up.Adi and Haylie put princess dresses on and Adi was a princess through almost her whole party.
We also had a tea party with fancy napkins and mini cupcakes. It was so much fun and I think Adi loved it.
Our tea was hot chocolate...mmm!
Adi's big present was her bike that she is riding everywhere, even in the house.It's a Princess bike and she even got princess knee pads and helmet from Aunt Jenn. She had two parties but on the days in between she was opening presents from all the family that doesn't live close by. So she had four days of celebrating her fourth birthday.4 for 4! Thanks everyone for all you gifts and love. We all had so much fun!

Gone Fishin!

2009-04-27T14:44:00.004-04:00

A couple Saturdays ago I had to work and so Jeff and cowboy Papa took the kids fishing. Papa even found night crawlers the night before to make the day even better. It was kinda rainy but they went anyway.
I love this pic of Adi...isn't that cute? Adi told me later that they didn't catch any fish and papa told her when you don't catch any fish that mean you get SKUNKED! So every time fishing was talked about she would announce to everyone..."We got skunked!!!"
Kohen loved bonding with the boys!

Dye eggs...dye!

2009-04-10T14:47:00.005-04:00

Here are some pictures from a night or two ago of us dying eggs. Adi had so much fun and loved seeing how each egg turned out. Kohen just wanted to put every egg in ever color and thought that every egg was a ball and would go to throw every egg he got a hold of. We had a fun time and I am pretty sure Adi's favorite part was the next day when we made some of the eggs into egg salad sandwiches. Funny thing...she has been asking a lot about what her brain does and what would happen if her brain broke and what her heart does and I told her some things. So while we were making the sandwiches, I told her eggs were good for her and they make her healthy and make her live a long time, she said," Everyone needs to eat egg sandwiches so that they don't die." I agreed with her and we decided we would spread the word to the people. So... Eat eggs so you don't die! Happy Easter!

California and Sparkles the Horse!

2009-04-06T15:28:00.010-04:00

So now that the whole training of my new job is done and things have gotten less busy I need to do some catch up on the blog. So in March we went to California and surprised my Dad for his 50th birthday. We had so much fun and Adi and Kohen loved playing with their cousins. The girls are so silly and have fun taking turns making each other laugh. We had an extra fun day at a fun house with the kids. They had a fun until we tried to get them all in the pool of balls. They got tired quick and when they were done they were most definitely done. It was awesome to surprise my Dad and see the rest of the family.

All the kids in the car!...and the babies too!

Kohen wasn't super crazy about the bounce house but loved going down the slides.
Happy to be in the balls...playing with the cousins!

Me and the babies... Taylor and Kohen! This place was fun even for me and Ivie. We're just big kids too!
Not so happy now...time to go!
This is our new addition to the family thanks to Cowboy Papa and G-ma Beth...everyone meet...

Sparkles the horse (yes...Adi named her...with no prompting from us...so funny!)

Welcome to Famous Dave's I'm Famous Juline!

2009-03-26T13:37:00.006-04:00

Alright...so me and Jeff have really been talking about wanting to take advantage of the housing market and get in a house. So our plan...so we can get our debts a little lower and just bring in some extra bucks we talked and decided I would try and find a night job or something. So we heard that being a server you can get some pretty good tips. So I went into Famous Dave's and got the job. I have been training for the past three days and start taking tables all by myself next week. I am actually really liking it. It is fun to go and do something that is just mine. I am also excited that I am contributing to our 'pay off debts, get into a house' cause.
So yeah...I am having a fun time taking on something I have never done before and I am learning a lot. I have always wondered what it would be like to be a server/waitress. It is something both me and Jeff have said we would like to experience one day. I am a little scared about being on my own but I think that is when I can figure out exactly what I want to do and how I want to do it with out being someone's shadow all day. So if your feeling like good BBQ and you want to drop in...make sure you tip me well, hint hint, or you could just say hi too. I am excited to take this on and hope that I can really rock it and we can get what we want and kinda need.

The Hunger Games

2009-03-06T16:03:00.004-05:00

So those of you who are fans of Twilight and go to Stephanie Meyer's website might have seen her recommendation to read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I actually got the book awhile ago but I got started reading it when me and Jeff went on our cruise last month. I just finished it today and I loved it. I think that everyone would like this book. Even boys! I know some boys think Twilight was kinda sappy but I have to say this book is pretty raw at times. I have already told Jeff that I think he would enjoy it. So I finish this book about ten minutes ago and am like what that's it. At the end it just says, 'end of book one'. I am glad to find out that book 2, 'Chasing Fire' is coming out in September of this year. I have been sad thinking that the Twilight saga is all done, but now I have this book to look forward to. I am curious if anyone else has read this book and what you think. If you are looking for a book to read and ant to get into something new this is definitely a fun read...and not just that but it keeps going starting in September. This book has romance, suspense, heart ache, and just kicks butt, literally. I had a hard time putting it down. Hope I have inspired one or all. Let me know what you think.

What the freak dude!?

2009-03-03T19:46:00.004-05:00

For those of you that watched the Bachelor this season...you know what is coming...WHAT THE FREAK!...I am beyond bugged with stupid Jason. I am totally team Melissa so was so happy when he picked her but then at the after the final rose thing after the finally he was like " Uh, I am a freaking prick so I am, uh ,changing my mind and want dumb Molly instead." I hate him. Melissa was able to get some of her feeling out and confront him on his crap but ugh! Seriously!!! Who does that? I hope Melissa finds an amazing guy and I wish her all the best in the world! All I have to say to stupid Jason is,"Seriously...seriously...you have got to be kidding me. I never liked Molly and now I don't like you either...you chump! Eww...man you suck!"

And that's all I have to say about that!... Boo to Jason and Molly...Boo!

I wanna be sedated!

2009-02-27T14:59:00.005-05:00

Adi went to the dentist last Saturday and both the dentist and I agreed that sedating her would be the easiest way to get in get things done and do a cleaning. Adi hates the dentist like most people in the world and it is quite an ordeal when she is awake. I pretty much have to hold her down and I assume it is not very easy working in a mouth of a moving kid. So we get called back and Adi is already leery but the nurse is really nice and gets her watching a movie. So to sedate her I thought they give her gas or something but it is actually a shot they give her in her arm. So they poke in her arm and she starts crying but the nurse is like," Just give it a minute and she'll calm down." She was right because Adi started to stop crying. Jeff asked her," Do you feel funny?" and she said," Yeah!" She was out. So they said for us to go out into the waiting room and that we could come back and check on her and they would come out and give us updates. You could say me and Jeff kind of freaked out a little bit. It was the first time we were seeing one of our kids sedated. It was weird! So me and Jeff would take turns checking on her and then a long while later she was starting to wake up.We took her into recovery where she needed to start waking up and eat a Popsicle. If she kept that down we could go. The funniest part though was when she started to talk. She said some funny things...

"I see two Daddies!"

"Did I fall asleep? Did they clean my teeth while I was sleeping?"
(she looked toward me and showed me her teeth and held her mouth like that for I swear was like 2 minutes. I had to tell her to close her mouth and just rest.)

"I feel funny!"

"I love sugarplums...they're my favorite vegetable."

as she shakes her head back and forth..."It's like being on a ride!"

pretty much everything she did was drawn out so when she said everything it was super loud and her words were all stretched out.

"Ahhh! Everything looks silly!"

"Mama how long til' my eyes fix, I see funny!"

So if you want more of a clue of what Adi was like check out this little kid after he went through the same thing.

Adi was pretty much just like this kid. I wish I would have brought my camera. It would have been pretty funny. Maybe next time...I was just thinking I wanted her to be okay and wasn't thinking how funny she would be.

Seriously just copy the link below and watch it....It is HILARIOUS!

Long over due and reposted best and worst of 2008

2009-01-27T00:18:00.001-05:00

Okay here is my list of the best and the worst of they year. Books, TV, Music and Movies.

Books. I read and listen to a lot of books and audio books this past year, (none of them published in 2008). There a few that stand out. The first was written in 1986, Watchmen by Alan Moore. Watchmen is a comic book or graphic novel, the story about a group of real people that start being Super Heroes. The Story is amazing. The movie will be out in march of 09. The movie is directed by the guy that directed 300 and we know how much I loved that movie.

The Road, by Cormac Mcarthy was written in 2006 is a post apocalyptic novel about a father and his son trying to make it to the coast with little food and a gun with only 2 bullets. This is a gripping novel Its so grim that I wanted to stock pile weapons and ammo after reading it.

Music, My CD of the year is the new Coldplay Viva la vida. Just as amazing as you can expect from Coldplay. I think that there are a few new to me groups that I have taken to this year. Parahamore is one of them. I am just going to list a few bands, Kings of Twilight. Silversun Pickups, Unicorn High school, The Raconteurs are all good. Also the Twilight sound track is really good.

TV: The best new show of the year has been Fringe. Try to get caught up on this show if you can. I am still enjoying the old favs Big bang theory and How I met your mother, The Office and Chuck, Also Dexter was extra good this season.

Video games: I moved from the Wii to the 360 in 2008. I will say the wii was fun for a month or so but it never cured my itch for hard core gaming. The 360 scratched that itch. Game of the year goes to Call of Duty 4. Rock band was the runner up. I played a few good games this past year but I still played Call of Duty 4 the most. Its the best game I haver ever played.

Movies: Okay so This is all about the Dark Knight and the Joker. I love batman but the Joker is pure awesomeness. When I watched the movie I couldn't even think that I was watching Heath Ledger It was just the Joker.

I really loved Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr was perfect for the role of Tony Stark. I remember that they were talking about making Iron Man a few years ago with Tom Cruise in mind as tony. He passed, moron.

Brad Pitt gave one of his best performances in Burn After Reading. He wasn't in the film very long but he was the funniest part of the movie.

Here are a few others, Across the Universe Pick up the sound track if you like the Beatles, Gran Torino , Tropic Thunder again Robert Downey Jr was amazing, and Defiance. I am sure there are others that I forget to mention.

My worst of 2008

Books: Twlight hahah I just put that in to tick off my wife!

I really can't list a bad book that I read this year, a bad book is easy to close.

Music: When we moved back to Utah I gave up my XM radio and has the displeasure of listeing to Utah radio again. In the after noons there was a DJ that did the drive time slot he called him self Parker well he sucked. He was a name dropping self promoting d bag. He also introduced me to the worst band in the history of music Thriving Ivory. I really can't say enough bad about this band the lead singer has the WORST voice ever. Here is a video to prove my point.

Sorry that I subjected you to that, but you understand what I am talking about now.

TV: I have to say that Heroes was a good show when it first started but in its thrid season every darn character got powers and they did so much time travel it was just too much. We as a family gave it up.

Movies: Last year was so easy I hated so many more films last year, I am going to say that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was a huge disappointment. Why did they have to go and screw up a great movie by adding a 4th film? Oh yeah money. Someone should put a leash on George Lucas. He only has 2 good movie franchises and he ruined both of them so I guess the worst is over.

Handcock was a steaming pile of garbage. The whole movie was in the trailer, well the good parts that is. Both of them. I don't care much for Will Smith but Handcock was crap.

Okay so this took FOREVER to write and finish. I hoped to have it out the first week of Jan but oh well I am a busy guy.

Puke Party!

2009-01-25T23:34:00.006-05:00

So you can probably guess what this post is going to be about just by the title but let me tell you all about our fun weekend...So on Thursday of this last weekend Brooke Gibson and I took our kids on the front runner train and to lunch. It wasn't too cold but I think that Adi was mostly effected by the lovely air quality we get from the inversion. Yuck! Anyway...we got home and Adi was coughing a little bit but nothing too bad. Well on Friday she was coughing more and then sick had arrived by that evening. Fun weekend right!? Well Saturday night was the peek of it all. Adi fell asleep watching one of her shows and woke up coughing and crying. She wouldn't calm down and started coughing so hard that she was gagging. Friday night she threw up a little so I thought we were lucky on Saturday...but the night was not over yet. Kohen had been asleep during all the Adi drama but just after she had fallen asleep and I was about to go to sleep Kohen started to move around and then the puking started...and again...and again. Spaghetti-os and milk he had drank before bed all over my bed. So we cleaned up, changed sheets and p.j's , and Adi woke up in the process. So the kids were up and not acting very sleepy. Kohen gave in first and finally Adi fell asleep too. Ahh! Sleep at last...and it was only just after 2 a.m...but...weird thing...Kohen didn't have a fever and wasn't coughing so I didn't know why he just started throwing up. Well, while Jeff was washing out the towel we cleaned up with Boots' arm from Dora was waving hello. Adi has a book and you can make your own scene with little vinyl stickers and Kohen was playing with it right before bed. It seems he was having fun pulling poor Boots apart and thought his arm looked tasty. I found poor Boots and he is also missing a leg. Hmm... So it's Sunday and almost bedtime. Adi just puked coughing too hard before dinner...hopefully that will be it for the night. I guess we will see...please please please I hope that we are done with puke party! What a weekend!

Hardworking Hubby!

2009-01-14T17:44:00.004-05:00

So Jeff is so freaking AWESOME!...There were a couple contests at his job the last couple months of last year and the big prize is a cruise. Well...lets just say Jeff did amazingly well with all the contests and we are going on the cruise. They weren't sure about the destination and date until about a week ago but we found out that the boat sets sail on February 7th. Yeah...pretty quick right! Well I kinda freaked out because that didn't give me much time to get Kohen weened. When we first heard that if Jeff did well we would go on a cruise... I was like, 'uh oh, what about Kohen?' Jeff told me 'if you don't want to ween Kohen and your not ready to go then I can just take my dad'...Ha ha!...I don't freaking think so! I couldn't let that happen. When we get a free vacation let alone a kick butt cruise...I am going to go!...So I started trying to ween Kohen last week and I am happy to say it is going so well. I have pretty much done it. Woo hoo me! Me and Jeff are so excited for the cruise. We haven't gone on a vacation alone since we had the kids. It is definitely about time for some mommy, daddy time away from the kids....I KNOW I am going to miss them like crazy but...what ya gonna do? I am super excited and I love Jeff for kicking butt at work. Freak yeah!...So the juicy details...the cruise is to the Mexican Riviera but more specifically we are going to be on the Princess Sapphire Ship to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas. Yippee! So...thank you, thank you, thank you to Jeff...Jeff's job...Quinn ( for helping Jeff get this job)...Brad (Jeff's boss)...Tim (other boss)...and Kohen for letting me be a little selfish and ween him a few months earlier than I had planned! Did I say I am excited?...I can't wait!

bye bye 2008!

2009-01-04T21:57:00.007-05:00

Alright... 2008 is over and hello 2009! Last year was a good year with the normal ups and downs but good. It is crazy to think that a year ago we were still in Jersey... it doesn't seem that we have been gone that long but it also seems like so long ago that we were there. Crazy life! It was hectic and stressful to move across the country again but we are so happy to get back to Utah...I think the blog showed that.

Right before we moved Adi turned 3 and in this last year she has become such a little lady. She loves tea parties, lip gloss, dressing up like a princess and anything else, playing mommy with her baby dolls and her little brother. She has been such a help to me and I can't believe what a firecracker she is sometimes. I love that crazy little girl.

This last year has been a fun one for Kohen too. A year of all his firsts. Crawling by May... then he took his first steps in July and all of that while teething...fun, right!? He seems to be talking so much more. It seems like a lot more just in the last weeks of 08. He has the most amazingly fun, and cute personality. He is such a BOY too playing with batteries, and pretty much anything electronic. (like his daddy!) He is always grabbing for the tools when they are out and he lifts up everything he can to show everyone how buff he is. Really, he does! I can't believe how much my little boy has grown. I am happy and sad to say that I am wrapped right around his little finger.

Jeff's new job was a transition but he's loving his job so much. It has been a struggle this year having to start over again but it is well worth it. I have so much faith and confidence in Jeff and his new job. We are just trekking along and happy with life...our goal is to save a then take advantage of the house market. I would be elated to get into a home...not too excited for the mortgage but to have a home again and be done moving for a while would be fantastic.

Life for me has stayed the same...rolling with the ups and downs of life...I am still in love with being a mom, almost always, and having my babies and seeing them grow is so rewarding. Probably more rewarding than I know. They really teach me so much and constantly make me laugh. I have enjoyed my time with my kids and me and Jeff enjoy the moments we get to ourselves. We have loved playing rock band as a family...mostly me... I am trying so hard to get better on the "hard" level. My big break through this year is getting some time in my head for myself by reading. It started up again with the 'Twilight' saga, then I moved on to 'The Host', then I tried Nicholas Sparks ( pretty good) and I am going to start reading 'Hunger Games', a book that Stephanie Meyer suggested on her website. I need to just start reading again but the holidays were kinda crazy. If anyone has a suggestion pass them along...I am always looking for a good book. Reading just gives me time in my head to myself and even some excitement. I love it!

I have to mention the excitement of Twilight the movie this year. I was giddy like a little child and I am sure I don't have to go on because you all know I am a passionate twilight junkie and proud of it! Twilight didn't let me down...(well some of the movie was a little cheesy)... but I still loved it and I still love Edward! Yeah yeah, I am nuts....TWILIGHT FOREVER!

Hope every one's 2008 was a good one and best of luck for the new year! Rock on!

Merry Christmas

2008-12-25T19:09:00.004-05:00

Merry Christmas to all our friends and family. We have been super busy the last month so you haven't seen many posts from the Kings. I am working on a End of the year list of best and worst.

We added a link to our link list Adi got a digital camera from Santa and were going to keep a blog of her pictures and art work she does. So check that out.

Everyone have a merry day!

just an update...

2008-12-05T14:28:00.002-05:00

Ok...so I haven't posted anything about what we have been up to. Well...here ya go! The week before Thanksgiving we were packing up and moving. That same weekend my brother and sister came into town and I had showers to go to ,both bridal and baby. Busy Busy! Then we went down to St. George to the King condo for Thanksgiving. We had a nice relaxing holiday and it was really just what we needed. We had so much fun! The only thing with having so much going on is that we were able to move everything over and clean but we didn't get much unpacked. We got back Sunday night and Monday morning the unpacking began...as of yesterday I am happy to say that we are unpacked and pictures hung and that fun stuff. There is a little bit in the garage we need to take to the storage shed but I told Jeff yesterday...I AM DONE! I am really getting sick of unpacking. I think my kids were getting sick of it too...mom and unpacking makes mommy a little stressed toward the end of the home stretch. Speaking of homes stretching ...just in case you were all wondering where we were moving... we have moved into Jeff's sister Jenn's house. She has been awesome in sharing her home with us while we figure out what we are going to next and save some money. Thanks Jenn! So life is finally settling again and Christmas is coming! Ahhh! I have got to get some shopping done...I think my camera is in my box in the pantry so I will post some pictures soon. Hope everyone elses Thanksgiving was turkey-rrific!

I saw Twilight!...eeek!

2008-11-21T15:46:00.004-05:00

Can you tell that I was excited? I was so excited....like Christmas morning excited. I even listened to the soundtrack in my car days before and on the way to the movie too. ( I know I am a complete nerd!) I have to say that over all I loved the movie. I was let down with all the stuff they cut out of Harry Potter from book to movie so I went into Twilight trying not to get my hopes too high. I won't go into any specifics so that I don't mess with your expectations but I have to say I was happy with the movie. I look forward for the next movies because you get know so much more beyond just Bella and Edward. I love these books so much and I don't think there has ever been a movie that has been better than the book it was made from. I have to say I love it!!! I look forward to seeing it again. I am curious to see what Jeff thinks....hmmm! Maybe I don't want to know what he thinks...we will see I guess. If you have seen Twilight post and tell me what you thought. Twilight...Edward....ahh....so good!

Disney on Ice!

2008-11-18T19:26:00.004-05:00

We went to Disney on ice last week. Just us girls! We had a lot of fun but there was some of the stories that Adi didn't care much for like Penocio(sp) and Incredilble's. She has seen Incredilbe's but just doesn't care for it much. She cared more about the princesses, obviously. They did the story of Beauty and the Beast but she still hasn't seen it yet because it hasn't come out of the vault for a while now. You would think they would think about what movies have come out lately and focus more on those.The did have some of the princesses but it was kinda quick. They were there and then they were done. Anyhoo!...It was still really fun and Kohen and Jeff had great manly might as well. I am not quite sure made it manly but there ya go. We are moving this week so I am going to post more pics once things are a little less busy. Oh...I forgot my camera in the car so I googled to get this one. Mickey and Minnie were Adi's favorite part anyway. She is now telling me a Jeff that we need to go to Disneyland. I am sure they have some subliminal messages in that show somewhere...I would love to go though...we will see!?!

4th Album 4th picture...

2008-11-14T15:23:00.003-05:00

My Friends Brooke did this on her blog and it was funny so I wanted to do it too. If you've seen it and get curious than you should do it too! Go to your pictures go to the forth album down and find the forth picture and post it...Adi is the photographer in this picture. She actually does this a lot. She just grabs the camera and takes pictures. Some make sense but others are just blobs of colors. Here is one that is actually really cute. She took a picture of her sweet little feet. Cute, right! We sure think so!

Going Private

2008-11-07T00:02:00.005-05:00

I think that were going to make the change on Sunday the 9th Prepare.

Halloween!

2008-11-02T22:51:00.003-05:00

We started our day with Grandma Fisher. We went to the Halloween party at her Senior Center and we had so much fun!

That night we did our trick-or-treating with the Gibson's...stopped at Aunt Jenn's and then moved the party to G-ma and G-pa Kings house....then stopped at Jeff's Grandma's. Quite a busy night....but a good night!

Dorothy... her ruby red slippers were her favorite part!

What a cute scarecrow!

He wasn't too fond of his hat...

....but he was the cutest anyway!

Happy Halloween!

back to the Black Island!

2008-11-02T20:25:00.010-05:00

I said before I wanted to go back with Jeff and we did. We had a blast...I think this is a new King Family Fall Tradition. SO MUCH FUN!!!Kohen knew the way to go...actually he fell asleep half way through and woke up right at the end. It was actually me who kicked the corn maze right in the butt and got us right though with no problem. Yeah I know I am amazing!!! Oh, yeah Jeff helped too! Adi was all about the maze at first but we kinda had to drag her through toward the end. I am sure she was getting tired. What Kohen?...go that way...?

Sitting on the hay bale waiting for the pig race to start....the pig race that Adi was picked for...she had the green pig... and the green pig won!....woo hoo! Adi won a cute baby pumpkin.

We all love the sweet nectar...mountain dew...woo hoo!
I tried to get Kohen in his own cow but he kept trying to climb out!

"He'll Carry you"

2008-10-29T00:10:00.004-04:00

So I heard this song two Sundays ago. I was in the mother's room putting Kohen to sleep and the speaker was still on. The singles ward was about to start and a girl was practicing this song for what I can assume was for the sacrament musical number. It was such a beautiful song! So as soon as Kohen was out I walked to find out what this song was called. So here it is...I plan on going and buying the cd. If you want to listen to it before you buy I think you should be able to www.google.com it or go to www.youtube.com and search for it and there. It's by Hilary Weeks and called, "He'll Carry You" Some of you may be thinking...duh...old news...already heard it... but I just wanted to pass it on. So if you've heard it and liked it good for you...but if you haven't and are in need of a new church cd or just curious...well here is my recommendation.

He knows your heart

He knows your pain

He knows the strength it took just too simply breathe today

He sees the tears that you cry

He knows your soul is aching to know why

He hears your prayers each humble word

When you said you couldn't face another day he understood

He knows the path that you will find

Though you felt alone he’s never left your side

Chorus:

He knew there’d be moments when no earthly words

Could take away your sorrow

And no human eyes could see what you’re going through

When you’ve taken your last step and done all that you can do

He will lift your heavy load and carry you

He’ll bring you peace and leave you hope

And in the darkest night he’ll comfort you

Until you know the sun will rise and each new day

You will have the strength to live again

Chorus:

And when there are moments when no earthly words can take away your sorrow

And no human eyes could see what you’re going through

When you’ve taken your last step and done all that you can do

He will lift your heavy load and carry you

He hears you when you’re crying in the night

He hears you when your soul longs to find

Till the morning will come

And the light of the dawn reassures

Chorus:

That in the moments when no earthly words can take away your sorrow

And no human eyes could see what you’re going through

When you’ve taken your last step and done all that you can do

He will lift your heavy load and carry you

Who are you?

2008-10-27T22:34:00.002-04:00

Take the Quiz and Share Your Results!

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great
importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be
sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and
appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

Halloween Party!

2008-10-27T21:19:00.005-04:00

Jeff and I were invited to a Halloween Party @ our friends Quinn and Meg.
My title: U.S. Marshall Juline King
Jeff insisted that I have the shotgun too!
Yeah that's right!....Watch out!

Jeff: Escaped convict, psycho ex-convict, crazy tattooed criminal!

Ahhh!

I think I should probably be driving...but hey...I have a thing for bad boys so I let him drive. I was fully armed at all times...Just to be safe!

Happy Halloween!
