Lipizzaner Stallions

It's been a little while, but on June 8th, we went with Matt and Melisa (our friends and realtors) to see the Lipizzaner Stallions. Matt and Melisa had some extra tickets, so we jumped at the change to go. It was a lot of fun. They are sure some amazing horses, very well behaved, indeed. And very beautiful, too!

Lil' Miss Apple Bottom

Okay, I was debating on whether or not to post this, but it's too funny to pass up. The bad part about all this...you guys now get to see what a bad mom I am. lol!

Have you guys heard the song, "Apple Bottom Jeans"? It's got a really catchy beat, but terrible lyrics. When the song first came out Chris fell in love with the beat and burned it to a cd with a bunch of songs. We listened to it a few times, until we realized what it was saying. After we realized what it was saying, we stopped listening to it, but it was still burned to the cd that we listen to in the car.

Well, my mind was somewhere else and this song came on, while I was driving. All of a sudden, I hear this cute little blonde haired little girl in the back seat saying (perfectly copied, might I add),

"Let me talk to her. Let me talk to her."

Then PERFECTLY on beat she starts, word for word, singing,

"She wore them apple bottom jeans (jeans)

Boots with the fur (With the fur)

The whole club was lookin' at her

She hit the floor (She hit the floor)

Next thang you know

Shwaty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low."

Now, you'd think by this point I would have turned off the song, but my jaw was dropped and I was in shock. I'm looking back, through my rear view mirror, at this adorable little girl who has this "I've got attitude" look on her face, just singing her heart out to "Apple Bottom Jeans". So, while I sat there dumbfounded she continues on,

"Them baggy sweat pants

And the Reeboks with the straps [With the straps]

She turned around and gave that big booty a smack [Ayy]

She hit the floor [She hit the floor]

Next thang you know

Shawty got low low low low low low low low"

And I wont give you any more lyrics after that, 'cause it gets pretty graphic. Now here's where the "bad mom" comes in. Not only did I not turn off the song, (because I was dying to see if she REALLY knew the whole thing....and she did), but it had to have been one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I didn't laugh (out loud), but if she could have seen my face, she would have seen me trying real hard not to giggle, although it was not a succesful attempt. (Thank goodness I was in the front seat.)

Since this time I have explained to her that we don't listen to that song because it has naughty words. But, recently, her mom gave her a new doll. Today I asked her what she wanted to call her new dolly and she thought about it for a while and then said, "Apple Bottom". lol!!!!!

Me and the kids...

Well, you got Chris's update, so now for the kids and me.
Landon graduated preschool! He's going to start kindergarten, which I just can't believe! I'm so nerveous about the bus ride! lol! I guess I'll have to get over it.
He's still skating a lot, but is currently mad at the skateboard because it ran Kamber's fingers over. lol. At the moment, I am trying to help him meet new friends, which is proving to be a hard task. There just doesn't seem to be that many kids around, I'm sure when we start school we'll get a better chance to mee them. Although, he does have to twin boys over right now.
Kambree is making huge improvements! I think I've got her totally potty trained and her speech is improving already. She is in weekly speech therapy. She is really starting to come out of her shell. She's just a cutie pie and her schedule keeps me VERY busy.
Between visits to mom, step dad, dad, step mom, grandma & grandpa, grandpa, great grandma, a new sister (no one knew about) and speech therapy, my week is very busy! This is a wonderful experience though and I love meeting the family. Helping the family is just as exciting as helping Kamber. I think they are going to do *it*, so we are very proud of them! Even our caseworker has said how impressive they have been and said they *truly* are going the extra mile. She said our case is quite unique. It's so rewarding to see people grow and we truly hope their family can reunite.
And as for little Korbin...he's just living the baby life. He's chatting away, saying all kinds of little things, like "thank you" and he now calls me, "Momma Christina" because he hears Kambree saying it. His eyes are still really bad and he'll probably be getting them probed soon, which we aren't looking foward to. And he's got rotten allergies, so he's a bit of a cranky baby, but we still love him!! lol! His new favorite thing is climbing up onto the couch. He's so proud of his new achievement.
And that's what we are up to....

The Jerky Guy

Well, for those of you that don't know. Chris is now working with Farr West Outfitters. They sell beef jerky to convenience stores, grocery stores, etc. Chris is managing established accounts and opening up new accounts. "Technically" he is in business for himself, with his own business lisense and such, but he works hand in hand with the owner. Basically, it's his own distributorship.
It's wonderful because he is home anywhere between 3-5pm and off all weekends and holidays. Right now he is still training, but when training is over he can work his own schedule and should be working Monday to Thursday, so I am very, very excited about the three day weekends this summer!!
He is really loving it! He is so awesome at sales and so good with people, it's an easy job for him. He has been excited about the hours and hey...we get loads of beef jerky! lol!

Our New House

We moved to our new house on May 21st in Liberty, UT. Liberty is a beautiful little town near Eden. And for those of you that don't know where Eden is, that's near Huntsville....and Hunstville is were Pineview Reserviour is. And if you don't know were Pineview is...well...you'll have to mapquest it! lol! We are close to Ogden, though, tucked away at the bottom of the mountains. It such a peaceful, quiet area with beauitful views all around!

Our house is a cute little rambler with 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms. It has a very open floor plan, which so far, I am enjoying. We really like the house and the yard is nice. The views are just breath taking! In the front, we are directly across the road from North Fork Park, where you can camp. In the back, we have this "castle house" (they say it's worth like 25 million with all the land).  Behind their property, is Avon.  We are surrounded with mountains!

So, if you want to go camping, skiing, boating, jet skiing, whatever...you can make our house the home base. We'd love to have visitors! Come see us!

Home Sweet Home:

Here's the front yard.

And here's what we back up onto.
