Barbie Sitch

I got this awesome Email letting me know that they are coming out with "Utah Barbies" - SWEET- what a collecter's item :)

' Provo / BYU Barbie' She's perfect in every way, mainly due to the high levels of antidepressants in her system. We don't know where Ken is because he's always at church meetings.

' Park City Barbie' She comes with an assortment of Kate Spade Handbags, a Lexus SUV, a long-haired foreign dog named Honey and a million dollar home. Available with or without tummy tuck and face lift. Workaholic Ken sold only in conjunction with the augmented version.

'Ogden Barbie' This recently paroled Barbie comes with a 9mm handgun, a Ray Lewis knife, a Chevy with dark tinted windows, and a meth Lab Kit. This model is only available after dark and must be paid for in cash (preferably small, untraceable bills) unless you are a cop, then we don't know what you are talking about.

' Logan Barbie' This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long straight brown hair, arch-less feet, hairy armpits, no makeup and Birkenstocks with white socks. She prefers that you call her Willow . She does not want or need a Ken doll, but if you purchase two Boise East End Barbies and the optional Subaru wagon, you get a rainbow flag bumper sticker for free.

'Brigham City Barbie' This tobacco-chewing, brassy-haired Barbie has a pair of her own high-heeled sandals with one broken heel from the time she chased beer-gutted Ken out of Tremonton Barbie's house. Her ensemble includes low-rise acid-washed jeans, fake fingernails, and a see-through halter-top. Also available with a mobile home.

' St. George Barbie' This collagen injected, rhino plastic Barbie wears a leopard print outfit and drinks cosmopolitans while entertaining friends. Percocet prescription available as well as newly built high rise condo.

'Bountiful Foot Hills Barbie' This yuppie Barbie comes with your choice of BMW convertible or Hummer H2. Included are her own Starbucks cup, credit card and country club membership. Also available for this set are Shallow Ken and Private School Skipper. You won't be able to afford any of them.

My Little Treygalish

Happy Birthday Treygalicious!! It's hard to believe I've had this sweet little rascal around for 4 years :)

He had a great day- Jas & I took he & his friend Jaeger to DQ for lunch & then had a party a few days later at Pirate Island Pizza! That place is AWESOME for kids & I thought the food was good & really reasonable. His gma also took him to dinner on his bday & we had a yummy ice-cream cake. He enjoyed opening his presents: Spongebob Camera, cool Crocs, Plug-n-Play Game, clothes & Money$...............

Here are some reasons we love our Treyg's:

* He is really easy going (didn't care to even have a party!)

* Fun Loving- teaser -but tender hearted

* Loves to cuddle with his mommy & still gives me hugs & kisses in public

* Pretty independant - likes to do things on his own most of the time...

* Loves to play games with family

* SMILES 99.9% of the time - even when he does things he shouldn't

*Loves to sing songs, with daddy especially! (fav- "Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven")

LOVE YOU Little Dude---- soooo glad you chose us :)

Cayzli Girl One Month

I still don't believe it has been one month since I had this little bundle of Joy!
Cayzli now weighs 6 lbs - way to go girly :) I love how little she is, because I know she'll grow up way too fast.......

*Already sticking her tongue out for the camera!!

**I also got my Wound VAC off on Monday- woohoo, I am free & healed!!**

*Happy New Year's! - All but Cayzli was Bright eyed!

HAPPY NEW YEAR & ANNIVERSARY (to my lover boy-January 2nd we celebrated 10 years!) We had a great time with the Brown Family for New Year's playing games & eating @ Mom's. I think this is the first year all of my kids were up for the "ringing in the New Year" - then they slept awesome & didn't wake up until like 9:30am. It was sweet for me & J.

Jas took me & Cayzli (his girls) up to Springdale "Cable Mountain Lodge" for our Anniversary. It was so pretty & really quiet this time of year. I missed the boys & think it would be fun to go back with all of them. Creed wanted us to take Tekai & leave Cayzli-haha. Mom & my neices Julia & Emily watched my kids- thank you, we had a fun time.

Jas even got in the ginormous jetted tub, while I got to feed Cayzli & watch "Lipstick Jungle" & be jealous since I couldn't get in w/ my wound! We watched him through the two-way fireplace- as he loved making the jets do "waves" "rolls" & whatever else concoction they did...Our's at home doesn't do all the neat stuff, just jets..... bubble baths are one of my favorite things- so, I was a little ticked about the whole sitch! But happy he got to enjoy it.

So here is a list of 10 reasons I love my lova boy Jas.......

*1- He is always willing to help out, not only me - anyone!

*2- He is a hard worker & does whatever it takes to get the job done.

*3- He loves me unconditionally & is very affectionate :)

*4- He puts up with my craziness & WilD IdEas-- I don't have too many, haha.

*5- He is an amazing Daddy & loves to play with the kids & is a great story teller!

*6- He is so Easy going & stays calm about Life -whether it is chaotic or not!

*7- He is a Peacemaker & gets along with everyone.

*8- He honors his Priesthood & values the Gospel. (gets the kids ready & takes them to church- even when I don't feel up to it!)

*9- He makes up awesome songs & sings in the shower :)

*10- He likes sports & will challenge me to games- he knows how competitive I am & still plays!

***Here's to 60 more years*** Love ya

Time Flying

Wow- time flies when you're having fun with your kiddos! We had a wonderful Christmas, especially since it came early this year- with Cayzli :) She has been a sweetheart & the boys still love her... good sign! I am trying to get back to reality, slowly but surely. I still feel like a bit of an invalid with my wound- but it is starting to heal. They take pictures of it each time I go into the wound clinic, & it has shrunk down quite a bit- here's to my healing :) .......

*We were supposed to get family pictures done- but the weather was crappy all week, so here is a snapshot of the kids until our decent pics!*

*Our little Princess sleeping Christmas away....

*Treyg's with his fun stuff*

*Kai having a blast with his Christmas toys* - all but his "tickle me Cookie monster" - he doesn't love that toy, in fact it down right scares him! We already had to put him in the box & in the closet- haha :)

*Creed showing off his Fish Aquarium- Treyg's enjoying it too*-- only 3 were bellied up Christmas morning- 8 survived Santa's sleigh!

*Cayzli- all dolled up! We love to get her all "prettied up"

*Sportin' her BYU shirt for the Big Game! (& baby legs)

*Cayzli met her grandparents from Texas- we were so happy they came for Christmas!

*Creed & his "goods" - Jason made the boys "BigFoot Pillows" with their pictures on them & fun other fabric on the toes....

*Tekai the "TANK" - he is sooo Big to me now that we have this little itty bitty baby!

*The "Block Fort" - Jason decided the week of Christmas to make blocks for the boys- we stayed up until 4:30am Christmas Eve painting all 355 of them! He did not mess around & it was the HIT of Christmas :) What an awesome daddy! Jas also made me 2 big frames & got me a new Video Camera :) how do you top that?! Thanks babe you have been a Saint this Christmas & put up with a lot around here, you are truly the BEST.... Love you Always & Forever :) it's crazy to think we will have been married 10 years this Friday!

More pictures to come..............

Princess Cayzli

*I am loving all of this hair :)

Cayzli Raine Curtis - Yes she finally has a name!!!

I was having an amazing recovery with this 4th C-section, & feeling so GREAT--until Sunday when my doctor looked at my incision & saw a couple spots that hadn't sealed. I still didn't think it was any big woop, until the wound clinic doctor came in to check it out, & decided to open the rest of my incision!! Youch....Yeah, I was a little freaked out to see my open insides, even if it is just the top layers! I asked if they were going to just stitch it back up & they told me that now it has to heal from the inside out by packing it daily with gauze stuff. My pain has since increased & now I am popping pain meds that I don't like to take, but better to help with the pain when they are messing with my guts. I was a bit down & pretty frustrated with this whole sitch, knowing the recovery of this open wound could take a month!

I have Home Health coming out daily to help pack & seal it & I will be getting a "wound Vac" on Friday that is supposed to help speed up the recovery. Thank heavens I have my Mom & family that have helped so much. Jason & I could not do this alone. Tuesday before the home health nurse came in, I tried unwrapping the bandages myself. I got in the shower & pretty much passed out :( It was a little scary to see this gaping hole in my stomach & feel water running over it! (sorry for the description- I won't post a picture of the wound!)-haha!

I still feel very blessed to have my liitle girl here & all of my boys adore her too. We are praying this heals quickly, so I can get back to playing fun mommy :)

I still can't believe how little she is. All of the newborn clothes & 0-3months just drowned over her- it is crazy! Here I thought they would only fit her like once- they will fit for probably 2-3 months. I have taken several hundred pictures so far, & my friend Kel came to the hospital & took a bunch also :) there will be plenty of pics of our little princess & her hotty bros!

Love you all - thanks for the prayers....

*Ginormous hat on her little bitty head*

*Sleeping sound in her bassinet made for a princess :)

*Ooooh, I just love getting her all dolled up! She is so yummy :)

Baby Birthday

Hello to all ---we arrived at 5:30am for a 7am surgery. My C-section went so well & I have recovered today splendidly :) -I don't know why I just used that word! Anywho, our little angel girl is here & we are still thinking between 3 names. We wish she just came with her name tattooed on her hiney!

This has been by far the best C/S recovery for me & I know I have had a few angel hands involved in that. I was a bit nervous when they had to take her to the NICU. She had swallowed some blood & fluid, but after some suction & oxygen she came out of it smoothly. Jason brought her to my room while I was resting & said he had a "surprise" (I thought she would have to be in there for 3 more hours) He had her with him & I got so excited- we immediately pulled the headband / bows out & dolled her up :)

Creed, wants to hold & kiss her lots. Treygen loves the activity books & such that she gave him. Tekai just loves eating all the snacks at the hospital :) - & he did hold her for like 10 seconds. He's still a little confused about the whole sitch.
We are all so happy we have our new addition, bundle of pink girly girl. Yes, she will have GINORMOUS Bows, bracelets & toes painted. So, if that bothers any of you, this might not be the blog for you to look at :) haha!

I am feeling a bit loopy & think I need a little shut eye. Jill will put some pictures on here for me. Thanks for the Love & support - I have the BESTEST FRIENDS / FAMILY in the World :)

She's Here!!!

Howdy everyone, this is Jodi's sister Jill posting. She and the beautiful baby GIRL are doing Great! She had her at 7:15 am and she is 5 lbs. 14oz. and 19 inches long. We are still waiting for the little angels name. I will post more picts when I get them.

6 Hours To Go...

Yep, I am CRAZY staying up this late when I am delivering in 6 hours!!! I always get pretty nervous & can't sleep the night before. Even though the house has been dusted, mopped, vaccuumed, sanitized 18 times & so forth.....

Jas & I went out to eat & saw "Four Christmases" (Hilarious, highly recommend it!) We have done this each time the night before I have my babies. Only we usually take the kiddos to dinner with us, my kids didn't want to go out with us tonight :( - They were too excited for Grandma to be sleeping over-haha!

The night before I had Tekai we went to the "Howard Jones Concert" - it was awesome! People thought I was crazy & my doctor did too, since I postponed having him by 3 days so I could go to the concert, sweet!!

Next time I post we will have our little babe & hopefully not be too lupored up, or in too much pain.

Loves to all :)

Random November/December Photos

Luck? - I think not!

Alright so I have 4 days left until my c-section & as always, my 2 other friends due after me, had their babies this past weekend & today!!!! Just my luck- haha, but really I was excited for them, & it took my mind off of my misery :) & saw their beautiful little girls. I was really happy when Amy called to tell me to hurry & get to the hospital so I could be there to take pics of the birth... 5 minutes late for the actual birth, but so glad I was there!
I can't believe we will all have baby girls within days of each other! Congrats Amy & Sara- little Hailey & Maizy are darling, I am excited for my princess to meet them.........& Lyndi will be right around the corner, woohoo!
