So you might ask why is Erin doing a post about Clorox Anywhere Hardsurface Daily Sanitizing Spray? Well I will tel you why... We did an art project and Isaac decided he wanted to be like the great ones and drew on my counter! He pressed so hard it was just caked on there! I didn't even know he was doing that! Where was I?!!! This was right before Conference started so I think I was getting things set up. Man he is quick! Anyway so I put the boys to bed I think for a nap, I can't remember. I was talking to Kate and was telling her what Isaac had done, as I was doing so I said I don't know how I am going to get this off. I will just have to scrub and hopefully I will get this off. Well I thought try the spray! I Love this spray!!! It has been my friend for a while now but this has made it be my best friend!!! Anyway so I sprayed it and got a paper towel and just wiped to see what would come off. It all came off! No scrubbing or anything!!!! It was AWESOME!!!!! I told Kate what had happened and took a picture of the bottle!!!! I was so Happy!!! So that is why I am doing a post about this spray!! If you don't have it, man you are missing out! It has saved me so many times!! It makes cleaning up hard to do jobs easy, and with out having all the hard chemicals to clear a room! I Love IT!!!!!! Well it is just my opinion. There are lots of good cleaning supplies out there but this is the one for me! : ) Just thought I would share! : )

Pumpkin Patch at Britt's Farm : ) 2008

Make a Smilebox slideshow

We went to the Pumpkin Patch last weekend because Malachi had Friday off, and his field trip to the Pumpkin Patch was canceled! Such a bummer!!! That is their only field trip. He was really bummed out so he asked if we could go. I thought about it and was like yeah lets go and get some pumpkins! Well they really stepped it up this year. A couple of years ago when Lim was home we took the boys and it wasn't that great. It was okay but just not exciting. Anyway this time we had our friends the Rowley's and the Timmons and my friends daughter Katelynn come with us. We also had my friend Sarah (Timmons)neighbor's daughter come with us too. Okay so that is who we went with. We also went with my friend Amy Croft but they had to go soon so they only stayed for a little bit. I don't think I have any pics with them. : ( We will get some though. They had a petting zoo, a blow up climbing thing, and an obstacle course for the kids. Plus the cut out board things to take funny pics with! Then we went on a hay ride to a corn maze, which lead to the pumpkin patch where we picked out a pumpkin for each of us and then headed back to the petting zoo and such to take awesome pics! We had lots of fun! It was awesome to see how happy the kids were! Isaac and Alma were too afraid to go into the pin to pet the animals so we stayed out and took pictures. That is why you won't see very many of us with the animals. It was awesome!!! I can't wait till Lim can come with us next year and see how cool it is now! Hopefully they won't take anything away next year! It was AWESOME!!!!

How many people get a chance to go up and go flying?! We have some friends who are able to fly planes and they took us flying!!!! My friend Amy and her husband went on a date one night and I watched their three girls. (Not like they had to twist my arm) It was lots of fun watching girls!! Their girls are close to my boys ages. Shayla 5, Hannah 3, and Makeala 3 almost 4 months. It was a lot of fun and the boys had a blast! They keep telling me that they don't want another brother, they want a sister! It is so cute so I have told them to ask Heavenly Father about that one. To get back to what I was saying before. He flew her to another town near by and took her out to dinner. So they took me and the boys out flying!!! It was so much fun and the boys had a blast! I have a picture with Isaac and Alma sitting in the front seat and all you can see is two little bumps it is so funny!!! I Love it!!! We had a good time. I really like flying. It is funny how the first time I flew was this past May and then I was able to go flying in a small airplane around Kansas! It was a lot of fun and I really liked it. I wish Lim was here for this! It would have made it perfect! I know it has been a long time since I have made a post but lots of things have come up. Life has been very busy but that is good it makes the days go by quickly!!! Yeppie!!! Okay I better go. Have lots of things to get done before tomorrow so I will add the pics and hope you all enjoy!!! : ) Love and miss you all!!!! : )

Happpy Birthday Babe!!!

My hubby's birthday was on the 16th. I know that it is late but I have been crazy busy and no I didn't forget his birthday. I did wish him Happy Birthday on his birthday when he called me that day! With my friends help we made him another dvd for his birthday. This time we included video's that I had taken. It turned out awesome! My friends husband is going to give me a copy or copy it to my computer so I will always have it I will have to share it sometime with you all! It was awesome!! He doesn't know what he is getting. I sent it with my friends husband when he left back from his R&R so he knows he is getting something, he just doesn't know what it is. Hehehehehe. I know I am so bad! He was a bit on the naughty side too. He was trying to ask the boys what it was that we got for his birthday. Isaac spilled the beans on us getting him Iron Man. That is all that I let slip out of his mouth. I took the phone away and told him that is cheating and then told Isaac we have to keep it a secret and that we can't tell Daddy! He was a little confused but seemed to understand it later. He laughed and then wouldn't tell him. It was funny. He just kept on saying Iron Man. It was great! haha I sure wish that he was here right now but it won't be long. I can't wait for him to get the package that we sent with him. He emailed me and said babe if Don (that is the name of my friends husband) tries to kiss me, I am going to punch him! I laughed and said don't worry babe I didn't ask him to give you a kiss or anything! He is so funny!!! Lim still loves the dvd that Leslie helped me with when I went down to visit her before Father's Day. He watches it every night! Thanks Leslie for that!!! You Rock!!! I am all about things that come from the heart! I think that means way more to someone then something that you buy from the store! I mainly bought the Iron Man to keep him entertained since he has moved into the tents!!! Yeppie!!!! Not much longer now. I can't wait!!!!! Happy Day!!

Update : )

I have lots to update everyone on our family! I want to share that my hubby is getting an award for winning the Soldier of the Month board as well as passing his E6 board!!!! Yeppie!! I am really excited!! He is too. Another great news for our family is that Malachi's adoption will be final on the 23rd of October!!!! I can't wait!!!! We all are really excited!!! He will be adopted before Lim even comes home! Total answer to our prayers!!!! We have been so blessed! We are praying that his points will go down in November. I will explain that real quick. You have to have so many points to be promoted when you are enlisted. Right now the points are up really really high. The points are 798 Lim has 744 which is awesome and he has been working very hard to get any point possible! November is when the points are supposed to drop. It could drop one point or more just depends, so please keep us in your prayers. : )

Another big news in our family is that Malachi's adoption will be final on October 23, 2008!!!!! We are so excited!!!! This has been such an answer to prayers. He will be adopted before Lim comes home!!! If that isn't a tender mercy from our Savior I don't know what is! We feel so blessed! Here is some update on my health issues :( No fun! For those of you who don't know I will get you caught up. I have been having lots of pain in my lower left abdomin and my lower left back as well. I went into the ER like two months ago I think it has been a little longer then two months but yeah. I thought it was a UTI going into my kidneys because I have had that several times. Not such a good activity. Anyway so the doctor didn't even check me out and just gave me lots of antiboitics and then sent me on my way. I also told him about the lower abdomin pain and he said that he thought it was a cyst and that I needed to get an ultrasound. So I was trying to get one for the longest time and I was given the run around, which is so much fun but I was able to get an appointment. So I was still having pain and I thought since the ultrasound appointment was so far away I needed to go into the doctors to find out if I did have a cyst. My doctor is a Sister from my ward!!!! How cool is that!!! She is awesome and I totally trust her!!!! Anyway so her office got me right in and she confirmed that I do have a cyst and that it has leaked like three or four times!!! That is so not fun! It feels like your insides are burning up not to mention that you feel like you have been punched in your stomach! Anyway so now I am on birth control and was taking aleve two times a day for almost a month for the pain. I was supposed to take it for a month but anyone who knows me knows I am not a pill person and would rather deal with the pain. I know it is wrong of me to do but yeah. My body just doesn't like taking pills like that. So the pain and dulled but I still have it from time to time esp when I am doing a lot of physcial activity or on my feet a lot. So I have to take time to rest. So my ultrasound appointment was cancled and then they set me up for another one and they cancled that one too the day of! I was really upset and frusterated to say the least. They did set me up for an appointment yesterday and I did finally get my ultrasound. I don't know anything yet. I am waiting for them to give me the results so I can give it to my doctor. I won't go into that one but yeah so I have to pick them up when they are done. I am going to bug them tomorrow to see if they have them done. The tech said good luck with everything and that was it. So I am not sure what that means. They did an external and internal ultrasound. First one not so bad except I had a really full bladder! The second one was not so fun. She moved the equipment a certain way and man it hurt so I am hoping that she was able to catch on film why I am getting pain there!!! I am praying for that so that we can fix this. My doctor said that I need to be on the birth control for about four months all together. I have been on it for one month. So yeah. Things are getting done at least and we are moving along to find out what is going on with me! hahahaha

Malachi is loving school and is getting so big!!! His teacher said that he is one of her favorite students because he listens and is respectful! I think that is awesome!!!! He has many friends at school including lots of friends that are girls. That makes me a little nervous, this is why...... A couple of weeks ago Malachi came home and this girl had given him her necklace. He didn't think anything of it but I am like yeah you need to give that back, and don't except things from girls like that. Just say thanks but no thanks! He loves PE and Music. More PE then anything! That seems to be what he talks about the most. The other day they had the firemen and firewomen come to his school and he was so excited! He told me all about it. It was a fun day for him. I don't know when they are having school pics yet so when I do I will let you all know. I can't wait!!! He will have a field trip this month but I can't remember when. I will be volunteering for his class pretty soon. I am excited about that!

Isaac is having lots of fun being home but sometimes wishes that he could go to school too. He misses Malachi a lot of the times. It is really sweet! He is however he is using the time away from Malachi to teach Alma not so good things. Like to climb the fence! Alma has almost gone all the way over! They have been getting into everything!!! Clearasil all over my carpet! Not such a good activity!!! Toothpaste, A&D, Babypowder and soap! I know there is more but I can't remember them all. hahahahaha yeah they keep me very busy and on my toes! They have to stay in my eyesight!

Alma is loving his age and exploring everything! He has tried to eat conditioner, A&D, and many other fun things, that totally scare me!!!! He is working on being a big boy!! He has said goodbye to the Binki!!!! I am so happy about that!!!! He has gone with out it for a couple of weeks now and doing great!!! One time he saw a baby have a binki and he threw a little fit but he got over it quick and that has been it since then. He doesn't have it for bed or anything, he quite cold turkey!!! hahahaha Now he is trying to potty train himself so it looks like Lim is going to miss out on the fun! I have potty trained Malachi and Isaac by myself so I was hoping to let Lim have the fun but yeah it looks like Alma wants to be a very big boy for when Daddy comes home! Alma is talking up a storm and is always repeating what we say! He loves saying prayers even when it isn't his turn. I Love it!!! He is so sweet. All three boys are being really sweet right now and I am throughly enjoying it!!! They are really baby hungry I think worse then I am! They have requested no more boys but they want some baby sisters! I told them to talk to Dad on that one. Hahahahaha. So we will see if they do. That is all that I can think of to update you all on our family. We miss you all and hope everything is going well in your families!!!
