A trip down memory lane

The instructions are as follows:1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!



2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Happy 4th ofJuly

Every year during the first weekend of July, we have the Bundy Reunion. This is Josh's family and it was in our "marriage contract" that we would go every year no matter what. I did miss one year because I was on bed rest, but he still went. Anyhow it is a lot of fun and sooooo dirty! We use porta potties and we rig our own shower up so that we can have at least one shower while we are there. They have tons of activities all weekend long and it is a BLAST! This year there were 1200 people there and that is the norm...tons of dirty little kids everywhere! They have a dance on Friday and Saturday night and it is great to watch cousins dance with each other. I must say they are great country dancers and I only wish I could be so good. In fact, all of us that have married into the family sit and watch while our spouses dance with each other because "we just don't cut it!" I have begged Josh to teach me how, but he just won't do it. Anyhow, they also have foot races, horseshoe tournament, roping contest, shotgun shoot, paintball, BB gun shoot for the little ones, and the famous auction. It is great fun and really there is never a dull moment.

Josh loves it and I normally do, but this year was a bit different. When you have kids you can't just leave and go play. I did have fun, but it was definitely different this year. Ty had a blast and that is all that matters to me. I figure I had my fun days and now it is time for my children to have fun. Tag did really well and basically stayed in the front pack with me the entire time. Ty loved to check out all the 4-wheelers there and took turns getting on each one. Thank goodness we were all family! He was filthy dirty everyday and we made him a nice warm bath each night because he was so dirty. Tag even had dirt on him and he never even touched the dirt. The weather was pretty nice this year because it sprinkled off and on. We meet on Mt. Trumbell, which is on the Arizona Strip, so it is usually really hot. To make a long story short, Mt. Trumbell is where the Bundy's grew up and went to school. It is by St. George, UT in the middle of nowhere. The road is usually really bad, so we count how many tires everyone goes through just to make it there and back.

It is usually during the 4th of July so we miss the fireworks and I really don't like that. It is nice to be with family though and I am so grateful to live in this wonderful country and to have all the freedoms that we do. One of our cousins just got back from Iraq and it was so good to see him and know that he made back home to his family. We had a great time and I am just grateful that next year I will not have a newborn baby to take with me!

Your Prize is Thrush!

The second time around of nursing has not been fun! First I get mastitis and feel like I am going to die and now I have thrush! I couldn't figure out what was going on! I was getting so sore, red, bumpy, and I itched like crazy! Then my visiting teacher came over and we got to talking...she has a 4 month old and she always gets thrush. Good thing she told me about it because the next day is when I started feeling the pain! I couldn't see it in Tag's mouth until we got to the doctors office yesterday. We are both on medicine and I am feeling much better! I just wish that nursing didn't have to be so brutal! Here us mothers are trying to do the best thing for our babies and we have to worry about all these painful things happening to us! It just isn't fair! Okay...I am done complaining now!

On a better note, Josh is home from his work trip and I am so happy to have him back! While he was gone I got to watch my little niece, Becca. Her and Ty had fun until Ty did something to make her angry. After that she wanted nothing to do with Ty. I had Becca (11 mo) on one side of me, Tag nursing (6 wks), and Ty (20mo) on the other side of me. Can you say "GREAT BIRTH CONTROL" At one point all three were crying...it was almost comical!

We got these really cute pictures of Ty and Tag this morning! Aren't they just the cutest boys...I am a little biased! Tag weighed 10lbs 2oz when I took him to the doctor yesterday. He is getting so big and he is giving mom nice long bouts of sleep at night...it is WONDERFUL!!!

Ty's PJ's and Mommy's Hair

It seems as though I am always playing catch up with my blogs! I am sorry, but for all you busy moms out there, I am sure you understand! Josh was gone this weekend on a scout campout, so I was left with the kiddos! Ty has not worn these pajamas in a very long time, but all his other ones were dirty so I thought...what the heck we'll give 'em a try. They still fit him, but not for much longer. He loved them and kept looking at his feet like, "what are these things, I can't get them off." He pranced around the house and seemed to turn into a different little boy once they were on. It was so cute and I just had to take pictures for daddy. Ty also loves to brush his teeth...I think he enjoys the taste of the toothpaste more than anything. I am just hoping that we are doing something good by brushing them. Ty is 20 months old in these pictures. I can't believe how big he is getting...he is my sweet and crazy little boy.

For those of you who asked...here are the pictures of my hair. I am going in on Wednesday to have a few areas fixed because I just don't think they are working right now. I also straightened my hair the other day, so it is much easier to fix without the perm in it.

Tag is a Month Old

I love my Grammy!

Tag with his big brother, Ty and his Grammy from Oklahoma!

Time has flown by so fast and I can't believe that Tag is already a month old. He has definitely gotten bigger, which is no surprise because he LOVES to eat. Little things about Tag: he loves to be cuddled and sleeps the best when he nestled right next to mom or dad. He has these great big blue eyes that love to explore all around. Whenever he is hungry or just wants some attention, he screams bloody murder until he gets what he wants. He still hates to have his diaper changed, which happens a lot because he poops, poops, poops, and poops some more! He enjoys bathtime, but only if you pour water on him the entire time. He really loves to sleep on his tummy and is trying so hard to lift his head up. He is a wonderful baby and we are so thankful to have him in our family. We love you Tag!

Happy Father's Day!

What a silly dad we have!

I must say that we spoiled daddy for Father's Day! We made him his favorite breakfast, French Toast. Then he got an IPod because he's been wanting one and he was so HAPPY he finally got one. Then I made him a T-Bone Steak and baked potato for dinner. Then to top it all off, he got homemade brownies too. He requested the brownies and I must say they are yummy! He even got to take a Sunday nap too while I wrestled with the boys! We love our daddy and we really wanted him to feel special on Father's Day! Ty loved helping him open his present and wrestling on the floor with dad after church. We love you daddy!

Ty's First Black Eye

Ty got his first black eye the other day and I felt so bad for him. He was running so fast, tripped, and fell right into the metal bar on the baby swing. His eye got worse and worse as the day went on. I had to call Josh and tell him I wasn't abusing my child. Right after that he was running full speed ahead again and ran right into the recliner with that same side of his face. It was a great and eventful day. What do ya do...boys will be boys! I thought this picture of Daddy and his boys was so cute that I had to post it too.
