Sissy's

I have posted on almost everyone mom, dad, beck, rock but not my true friends. My sisters they are the absolute favorite...(I wish I could type that word the way rock says it but sadly I cannot.) My most favorite thing is all the stuff we have done and experiences together. I love it when something at work or at home happens and it reminds me of something from our childhood. It usually ends with Rosey and I laughing at Sarah but over the almost 23 years together she has gotten some pretty tough skin. For example:

High School - We use to park over by walgreens because we didn't have a parking pass and the girls had drivers licenses so my mom stopped taking us to school. Rosey had eaten an old or unthawed eggo that morning for breakfast and had made her sick so we were of course in our ROTC uni's and she got out of Sarah's car and puked and at the same time got a blood nose (no surprise) but Sarah didn't know it was a bloody nose she thought rosey had puked blood so then she tried to get rosey back in the car to go home because she "puked blood." ...needless to say rosey still went to school because she was not going to wear her uniform by herself the next day.

Sleepy Time - When we were kids we had the 3 little bears bed all in a row. Rosey had a canopy so it didn't have a foot board and I remember she would run in the room and just bounce in her bed to go to bed, which is shared with a bagillion stuffed animals.

Or Rosey and I would be up watching tv and Sarah could see it from her bed so she wouldn't need to get out. Then our mom or usually dad would get us in trouble and sarah would be fake asleep.....dad never believe she was awake when we would be yelling "sarah was watching too"...I guess we weren't exactly loyal.

Or when we would be talking to each other and our mom would yell "NOT ANOTHER WORD" that was our uncles favorite.

My favorite is when one of the girls would sleep talk and you would try to carry a conversation with them until they woke up because there mind could answer your questions... definitely hilarious all of a sudden the sleeper would say "leave me alone, I'm not asleep"

*sarah told me about when we would play where is your head game. where one sister would leave, one sister would lay on the bed and the 3rd sister would cover you up with blankets and pillows and the sister that left would have to try and find where your head was... super fun!!

Bathroom Trouble - Once Sarah was in the shower and Ben heard this huge noise and so ben rose and I were at the bathroom door and we were like are you ok, and she said "ya i fell down" bahaha who falls :)

Voting - We would vote on who would have to do something. Often it was Sarah or I who were on the outs, and sometimes it was suicidal ;)

TV - There was always a rule in our house and at grandmas who ever was in the room first got to chose what was on tv, the rule was never broken. Rosey and I would race to grandmas's (where our mom was probably working) to get to the living room so we could watch step by step and california dreams and all of those shows because if sarah beat us it was dr quinn....

Or sarah would stay up late and tape growing pains. at the time I thought we were up super late but now I realize it was 11pm. Just the other day Uncle Jimmy said the only show he could get on his tv in the truck was playing growing pains and he wanted to call Sarah and ask her how she could watch that because he wanted to stab himself in the eye! bahaha (again) it was the 90's thats what was cool.

*Thrifty! - when we really had to clean our room and get rid of things we no longer wanted we would put it all on our bed and try to "sell" them. Usually it was to ben and nathan because they thought out stuff was awesome. but our mom would usually yell at us and say you can't sell anything you have to give it away. What can I say...we all want to make money ;)

What I love about them the most is that I can text them and tell them anything. That we have our inner circle. I love you too...Even if you two don't know my name.

School/Tooth Ache

Fair warning look away there will be no pictures of rock in this post. I do apologize but I will say I will try to make this a humorous dialogue between us. Not promising but I will try.

Today I started online school at Colorado Technical University, or CTU. GOOOOOOO COUGARS! Ooops that BYU. So far so good I know I just aced my first assignment ;). It was an introduction of me what I'm nervous about and excited about. Who knows me better then me right. I could write an introduction about you or even a intro about....Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett. (her bio a must read.) The classes are 5.5 weeks long so I think I will do ok. Beckett is super smart so I know he can help me if I need it.

Also this week I have gotten a toothache. An old filling has started hurting. Which has then lead me to examine my teeth at any moment where there is a mirror and good lighting. And what I have found is what I thought was good dental hygiene is not. Good thing I found that out so on Friday when the dentist stabs that hook instrument into every single tooth I will know that for 24/7 the last week I have erased what damaged I have done the last 22 years, I hope. Every time I stare at that tooth I think it looks worse and worse. But I don't know if its one of those things where you think your pregnant so then every feeling good/bad you have must be a sign your pregnant. example: oh my gosh my head hurts so bad I have such a bad headache I must be pregnant, (you knowing that its probably a caffeine headache you haven't had a coke all day.) You'll know what I am getting too. I have tried to get beckett to examine it but he's no good help. Alright enough about me on to Rocky.

Rocky is doing great! We went to the Dr this week, he did not want to get undressed so that nurses and dr could see his yo gabba gabba undies but he did for the sake of "pounds." Translation: so he could step on the scale and see how much he weighed. If you asked him he weighed 5 but for us that converts to around 31.0 pounds. I don't know the exchange rate ;). All checked out. He is in the 90th percentile in height and head size and 75th in weight. He is very large for his age but not in a bad way. He does struggle with constipation which the dr said give him extra fiber everyday so we are on day 4 and no real progress but its not as bad as it once was. You may be eating so I won't give you the gross details.
He also went to the cardiologist as a follow up for his Kawasaki's disease and that also went well. We will go back in a year and then every 2-3 years after and when he starts playing sports for a heart stress test. Now that he is healthy the dr's let you know how dangerous this could have been. Alot of the follow up is for data because it was just found out and treated in the 80's so they don't have solid data on how it can come back or if it comes back in teens, adults, and oldies.


Beck has been singing him I'm a child of god and Spirit of god at night while putting him to sleep and one night rock started sing to himself. It was goooooood GOD! GOD!! So cute til he realized we were listening. I am proud to say that he is so close to completely singing the ABC's. He starts off strong and then around HIJ-NOP he struggles and then back to being strong Q-Z.

Makes this big momma proud!

He watched cars for the first time last night. We rented it from Hastings and he carried it around all by himself when I would ask to do you want me to hold it he said no. Even when he struggled. I think he worried that it would not make it to the check out if he gave it to me or pops. (he's been bamboozled a few times that way.) He sat and watched for a good hour and then got up and got his little mater truck out of the toy box. Then would get up every 20 minutes after that. He's 2 I think he did really good sitting through it. A little long but we may need to purchase this movie.
