Here is Kaden after opening one of his presents from Grandma...walkie talkies. He was very impressed!!
Here are the kids all dressed up in their Christmas outfits for my birthday dinner at Ruby Tuesdays. Don't they look cute?!?!
What a fun weekend we've had!!!! It was my birthday yesterday, and we've celebrated fantastically!!! Friday night was Creeksides Chrsitmas party. It was a yummy prime rib dinner. Yesterday morning my friend Roxann brought me a yummy homeade cinnamon roll for breakfast and a recipe box full of her own recipes. I'm so excited, she's and AMAZING cook!! My two best friends Kellie and Kim got me my very own espresso maker!! It is so great that I can be my own barista now!! And so much cheaper!!!. Last night Jason took me to my favorite restaurant in town The Sandpiper. My friend Paula surprised me with a cute pink and white sparkly cake that was chocolate peanut butter. I realized I'd forgotten to take a picture of it until after I had cut off a couple slices so that's why the picture of the half eaten cake is there. We were just so excited to taste it I got ahead of myself!!
Today the kids have decorated gingerbread houses, and we also all went to see the movie Bolt in 3D. The boys really liked it, however Kaden refused to wear his 3D glasses, so he didn't get the full effect. I had never seen a movie in 3D and enjoyed it a lot myself!! Tonight is my family birthday celebration. We're going to Ruby Tuesday for dinner. Thanks for all of the cards, texts, and presents. I love you all!! Thanks for making my day special and making me feel very loved and spoiled!!! 
So, here's the last of the pics that I wanted to get posted. Sorry they're a little out of order. The family pics and kid group pic was from Family night at Portneuf Medicals Employee Appreciation night. They were taking pics for free and then I can purchase them later. So I figured why not. I'm not so sure I love how they turned out, so I'm not sure I'll order any yet.
The middle one out of order is of me and my cute grandparents in Oregon. Over Thanksgiving weekend I had an opportunity to go to Portland and see some family. So I snapped a pic with them. I hate hate hate myself in pictures, but I think that one turned out pretty cute.
This weekend the kids get to be at Daddy's house. I'll be droppin them off and then hopefully getting some much needed Christmas shopping done! I do have Santa presents bought, but that's about it.
I work Saturday at the hospital, Saturday night is a girls night out celebration for the December birthdays. It'll be fun to go out and be with friends . We've made reservations at a resturant in town called Senang. We've been there before and been impressed, so hopefully we won't be disappointed this time.
That's about all for now!! Hope everyone's enjoyed the pics I've finally posted!!
Here's a couple pics of the boys with their pumpkins that they carved. Daddy came over one night and helped them carve their creations. They had a lot of fun. 
So I had a few minutes, so here's just two quick photos.... The first one is the boys in a tank at the air show that we attended in Mt Home in September. It was such a great weekend with family! My grandpa and grandma flew in for the weekend, plus my brother was there showing his stuff off. The boys just adores that Uncle Kevin flys in an airplane. He's my boys hero. We love you dear brother of mine....
The second pic is Miss B from Halloween. She was the cutest duck ever. She even had the waddle down!!
I promise to post more pics in the next few days!!!
So honestly, I can't belive that it's December. And I know that I've been saying since October that I was going to post pictures of the kiddos, and I am, I swear. It's just so dang hard to get to a computer to download photos...I know it sounds like a likely excuse. I am going to put some up soon I promise!
Hope everyones Thanksgiving holiday was fabulous! The kids and I got to eat together at my great friend Roxann's house. It was so much fun! The kids loved playing with the other kids and when we were backing out of the driveway to go home, they were asking if we could go back tomorrow. The kids spent the actual Thanksgiving holiday with their dad and his family, and I know the kids talked a lot about all the fun they had with their cousins.
I'm working home health again this weekend, so this is going to be a super quick post. But I swear, pictures to come!!
Hello!!! Life has been fun and crazy! My posts haven't been quite up to speed since I don't have a computer at home anymore! But I will post pictures soon, promise. We had a busy October!
Halloween was fun for the kids as usual. Candy overload is always fun right? Jackson has his usual party at school and Kaden had a little party at daycare that we went to. Jackson dressed up as a ninja, Kaden was Batman, and Miss Brooklyn was a duck. Super cute they were! Jeff came over and we carved pumpkins the night before Halloween. The kids enjoyed that. Brooklyn just enjoyed eating her pumpkin. It has little bite marks all around it. I swear that girl will eat anything!
Brooklyn had her 15 month appt this month. She was 27 pounds. She's now offically a walker and is loving it! She's finally gotten enough hair that I'm having lots of fun styling everyday, and she's having lots of fun ripping it out as soon as I'm not watching!!! Naughty!!
The boys are just runnin around wild as usual. Jackon has a program at school on Friday where he plays the part of a skunk. Should be cute!!
Hope everyone is doing well, and again I promise to post pictures as soon as I can!!
Ok, so I know it's been a super long time since I posted anything, but in my defense I've been super busy!!! So I'll do my best to try and remember everything.
The airshow in Boise was awesome! It was every little boys dream to be able to climb on the planes and see tanks up close. It completely satisfied my boys we are soldiers thoughts! It seems like they play soldiers more often then any other children I know, and that weekend there was a lot of shootin the bad guys going on! It was a great weekend with family!
We've had picture day at school, so as soon as I get those, I'll try and post them. We've also had another dentist appointment for Jackson. He was super brave and got his little cavity filled without a problem.
This last weekend the kids and I went to stay with my Grandpa in Logan. It was their time to get filthy dirty and play outside all day. There was some super pretending going on. I love to just listen to them while they're doing that. The highlight of the trip was when Great Grandpas dog killed a chicken. Poor Kadens eyes were as big as saucers describing it to me. It's all they've talked about since.
And finally during this last week, our wonderful Uncle Kevin has been here visiting and staying with us. My kids just adore him! I wish we could see him more like once a week instead of once a month! There's been lots of family dinners this week...Sunday was at the Texas Roadhouse for Kassandra's birthday and Wednesday night was at Remos since that's Kevins favorite place to eat. We go every year when he's in town.
The kids have been adjusting to life I think. They seem to be getting the schedule down. Jackson got to go to his Grammy's house overnight with two of his other cousins and have Grammy Camp! He was so excited to come home last night and show off their projects! Brooklyn has been taking more and more steps this week. Probably by next week she'll be off and running. Kaden's been loving preschool at Paula's. He love to tell me about what they've done when I call him from work.
So, that's it in a nutshell!! Sorry for it being so long! I promise to post pics as soon as I can!
It's amazing to me that it's September already!!! Before we know if we'll be doing Christmas shopping I think!!
Another busy week flown by. Jackson is doing great in school so far!! He says he still likes his teacher, so that's a bonus. His dad let me know that Jackson did choose to walk home all by himself yesterday. He thinks he's so big! But, at least he beat the bus home!!! There's a big lecture from mom coming tonight about riding the bus!!! Kaden has started preschool at daycare! He was so excited when we went to buy his very own school supplies!! This week was the letter B. They even have show and tell. He chose to bring his bird binoculars. They also wore aprons and were bakers and made banana bread. Paula said it was quite adorable! And Miss Brooklyn is just as cute as ever! She is still just walking along furniture. She will be daring once in a while and let go, but only for a few seconds! But, I'm sure she'll be taking off in no time! She did have a molar break through the other day. I didn't even realize she was teething, cause she hasn't seemed extra grouchy or anything! What a good girl!!
The kids and my mom and I are off to Boise on Friday morning. We're leaving at around 5 am to be able to get to the airport by 8am. My grandparents from Portland are flying in! And then my brother will be in that same morning! There is an air show in Mountain Home this weekend and Kevin was able to get his plane in it! I'm so excited to see him and I know the boys are gonna absolutely flip when they get to see Uncle Kevin with his plane! They love anything to do with soldiers or airplanes! I'll be taking lots of pictures and post them when we get back!
Well, this last week has been a busy on!! We're here and doing well though. I moved and am settled into the "brown house". The kids are happy with their new set of bunk beds. We've been enjoying our days together hanging out and watching movies at night.
Jackson is doing well in school so far. He breezed through his homework without a problem, and is continuing to read just fabulously!! Kaden and I are enjoying our extra time together just him and I while Jackson is in school and Brooklyn is napping. Plus, I'm enjoying just having two kids while I run errands. You wouldn't think not having one would make that much of a difference, but it sure does.
We spent yesterday in Blackfoot, watching the parade and then enjoying the fair together with my mom and sister and her two kids. The boys love lookin at all the animals. We also watched Erica do her demonstration on how to shear a sheep. The boys were mesmerized.
This next week will be a busy one. I work tomorrow, Labor Day, and then I take off to Utah after work. My grandpa will be having triple bypass surgery. So if everyone could remember him and my family in your prayers this week. We'll be at McKay Dee in Ogden most of the week. We're all a little nervous to say the least, but we know he's in good hands. I'll be coming back either Tuesday night or Wednesday, to have my days with the kids, then they spend the weekend with their dad. I'll be working home health this weekend. So you may not get another post for a bit. Hope everyone is doing well.....
Well, it been awhile since I posted last. So sorry!! Not too much going on until this week.
The boys had a dentist appointment. Jackson has an old filling that needs repaired, but other then that they both got clean teeth awards!! The denist they go to is so cute. The waiting room is decorated so cute! They have a huge tooth fairy flying from the ceiling. Makes me wish that they took adult patients instead of just pediatric!!
Jackson also had his first day of second grade!! He posed himself in the pictures I took. In one he's holding up peace signs. He told me this means peace out mom. My little gangster. His teacher this year has a reputation of being quite strict. I'm hoping that that will help Jackson. He definetly needs discipline!! Hopefully he'll come out a better student. So we'll just wait and see. So far so good. He seems to like her just fine.
I've found a townhouse to rent. I move on Monday. I'm hoping to get most everything put away by the time the kids come on Wednesday night. But, we'll see. It's a really cute place, came with a washer and dryer. The place has been well taken care of and it looks practically brand new. I drove the kids by and they seem excited. The place is brown siding, so now Kaden associates where he's going by either the brown house or the yellow house. Kind of cute I think. They seem to be adjusting well to the changes. I think it'll be good to have our own place with our own routine. Although, we've all enjoyed being at Grandmas, we're excited for our own home again. I'll let ya know how moving goes!
Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend!!
We've been pretty dang busy this last week or so!!! So, I'll do my best to catch you all up on the comings and goings of us.....
Let's go back to last Thursday... We went to the summer movie at the Reel Theater. It was Horton Hears a Who. The boys loved it!! Miss B however....is not the least bit interested in movies! Imagine that huh? But she happily crawled around the theater aisles and enjoyed sneaking popcorn off the floor when her mommy wasn't watching. We went with a couple gals from work and their kids. My friend Susan has a litle boy named Jacob that is the same age as Kaden. They had fun together. At one point they were sitting on the front row together thinking that they were pretty hot stuff!! But, they also enjoyed that they were both potty training. The little boys and I made 3 trips to the bathroom during the course of that 1 1/2 hour movie!!! But it was a great time spent together.
That night I left to my quick weekend trip to the Seattle area for my cousins wedding. This was a huge accomplishment for myself since...... I HATE TO FLY!!! After much anxiety, I landed safely at SEA-TAC airport it was a busy couple days with family. The wedding had all the key components...a beautiful bride, great food, and of course....the father daughter dance where all the dads were crying just as much as the daughters. (Thanks for that dad!!!) I drove back with Dad, Teresa, and Erika. We pulled back home at 1 am.... remember everyone that I work at 445am! So...needless to say I was pretty dang exhausted Monday!! Not to mention quite grumpy too!!
I worked today, but now am off till Saturday. The kids are with me until Friday night. So we enjoyed dinner together tonight, thus the corn pictures. It was really tastey and everyone loved it!! Jackson will be getting registered for 2nd grade on Thursday, other then that, not much planned for the rest of the week....
Hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying the last few weeks of summer vacation!
The kids and I had a great afternoon with my friend Kim and her kids Eben and Tenley. We ate the automatic choice when you have 5 kids under the age of 7..... McDonalds!!! After the cheeseburgers and nuggets were eaten and several trips down the Playland slide we made our way over to the afteroon showing of Pixar's newest flick.... Wall e The boys seemed to really like it. Miss B was quite grouchy since it was nap time. After I finally got her to sleep then I could attempt to enjoy the show myself. And my grade on this movie.....C It was definetly not my favorite by them. I was a little disturbed that all of the people in the cartoon were so overweight and lazy! Maybe it's just cause I started watching late, but I'm not sure why they had to look like that. Does anyone know? But, my opinion isn't the one that really matters......the boys liked it, so.....worth it!!
Hope everyone is having a great week!!!
On Sunday my mom and I took the kids to Ross Park to do a little cooling off. The kids loved it of course. Brooklyn loves the water just as much as her older brothers! She splished and splashed till she finally crashed for her nap. The boys really enjoyed the slide and high fiving the lifeguards. I just love Miss B in her pink bikini! Girl are so much fun!!!
So, here's a lot of pictures to catch you all up. We had a great birthday party for the kids. The cakes were fabulous as ever. Jacksons was a chocolate fighter jet. He is obsessed with anything and everything to do with being a soldier. His personal hero is Uncle Kevin because that's what his job is. Jackson has been saying for over a year now that when he grows up he wants to be a soldier.
Brooklyn's cake was a whismical version of her favorite blanket. Her Grammy made it for her and B doesn't sleep without it. The cake looked exactly like the blanket! Great idea Paula!!
I've also put one pic each of football and TBall. The computer was being really slow at downloading pics tonight, so one of each is all you get for now....sorry...
Brooklyn had her 1 year old dr visit. She weighs a healthy 23 pounds now. She is starting to pull herself up a lot on the furniture. She has even been brave once or twice and used only one hand. So I'm sure standing alone and walking are just around the corner.
The kids are doing great as you can see. And I.....am hanging tough. Hope everyone is doing well too. 
Well....my baby is 7 today!! I can't believe it! Seven years ago today we had a 8 lb 13 oz baby boy at 12:13 am. He started out big, and continues to be big. Jackson was the most active kid I've met. He's kept me on my toes since he was little, and continues to do so now. I have so many favorite stories of Jackson, but one of my all time favorites I'll share. I think he was around 3. We had just moved into our home. My sister and Chad were over visiting as well as my mom. Jackson has always been my escape artist and this afternoon I couldn't find him. So a search party was sent out and everyone was looking. Outside, inside yelling his name. I was beginning to panic cause no one was finding him. I stopped and listened and heard a funny noise. I went to my bathroom to investigate. There was Jackson laying in the tub, bubbles and all, relaxing. He was so proud of himself for making his own bath. He's very good at giving his mom multiple heart attacks. We love you Jackson!!
Now......another birthday will be Monday...Miss B. One Years Old!!! How did that happen? My 6lb 10 oz so sweet baby girl has turned into a 23 lb screamin diva! She has discovered that the only form of communication she likes is screaming at the top of her lungs. She will do this for anything, if you're not feeding her fast enough, if you're not looking at her when she thinks you should, if her brothers are ignoring her, any reason at all. And wow can she scream! She obviously loves to eat! And she has been my least picky child of all. I absolutely adore her chubiness. She has the cutest tan lines in between her chub rolls on her arms. So when she straightens them out, you see white lines! So cute! I'm gonna try to capture a picture to remember them by! Happy Birthday sweet girl! We love you Brooklyn!!
I of course ordered them cakes from the amazing cake maker, so I'll post pictures of them this week. 
So some of the folks that read this may already know about the life changes going on with the Yearsley family. But, for those of you that may not know Jeff and I have been working through some problems over the last couple of years. And the last few months have been even more difficult and we have come to the decision that us going our separate ways is what is best for the both for us. We both realize that our attention needs to be on the kids and will continue to be the best of friends and devoted parents to our three fabulous kids.
Well, I haven't blogged in a couple weeks! That is so strange for me!! The kids are all doing fantastic. Jackson is still going strong in Tball and football. I do promise to get some pics on soon! The kids and I went to Utah last weekend and had a great time with my friend Holly and her boys. We went swimming one day and then to Hill Air Force Base and this great park that is like a pirate ship the next day. Kids had a blast, and mom got sunburned. Lesson learned, don't forget to sunscreen yourself as well as the kids!
Well, we've been busy playin and it's been fun! Jackson had a football game last night. It rained. I took some pictures, but since it was rainy they aren't that great. So if next weeks game is better I'll post some from then. After the game, his two friends Jake and Adam came over to spend the night. We stopped at the dollar store and got lots of candy, popped popcorn, and they watched Kicking and Screaming. It was the first time they had friends over and it went quite easy. They were asleep by 10:30.
Then this morning the four boys plus my sisters boy Paxton and I went to the summer movie today at The Reel. It was the veggietale movie, The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. They really enjoyed it. After that we went to the park for the free lunch and they played. It's been 70 degrees today and we've soaked it up!!!
I work tomorrow at the hospital. Jeff is playing in a golf tournament. My mom and sister are having a hard sale here tomorrow and the kids get a babysitter, which they are excited about!!
Hope everyone has a great sunshinny weekend!!! And Happy Father's Day to all the awesome dads in my life and all of yours as well!!!
Ok, so I swear that if this weather doesn't get warm soon, I'm moving to the east coast! I'm so jealous of their heat wave right now!
Today Jackson had a TBall game at 9 am. One of the very few I ge to even go to. So I bundled the kids up in what I thought was warm enough clothes ad off we went!! Reading the thermometer in the truck on the way....it say 40 degrees... Wow, it's gonng be chilly I think to myself. Chilly does not even begin to describe the cold wind blowing when we got out at the ball diamond. The kids were saying they were cold and wanted to go home before our feet even hit the sidewalk! But, we went. The coaches (bless them) deicided that we would only play one inning. Which was great, because for that whole inning Kaden did nothing but cry and say he wanted to go home. I think Miss B was in shock and didn't make a peep. Jackson on the other hand was still having fun playing. He made an awesome first catch of the game when his team was in the field, and then made a great hit when he was up to bat!!!
After the game we went home and the boys sipped hot chocolate while I cranked up the heater! Completely ridiculous since it is June 11!!!!!
Take care and STAY WARM!!!
So sorry for how slow I've been! My excuse is that my computer has caught a virus and runs at a snails pace! So everytime I get on to update, I get frustrated and give up!! But today, I decided that I had to do it! So.... Jeff's birthday cake is the pic on the bottom. It's a pool table obviously. Everyone thought it was cute and it tasted amazing! Yummy chocolate, can't go wrong!
The boys and I had a date night on Friday night. We went to Idaho Falls and ate at Leo's place, the went to see my girlfriend and her kids in a dance performance of The Wizard of Oz. It was so fun to watch! The boys really loved it! Kaden kept asking about the witch. My friend Karla was one of the witches in it, so after the show we hunted her down for a pic. As you can see Jackson thinks she looks fabulous. Where's Kaden you ask? He's standing with his face buried in my legs crying big crocodile tears saying "I don't like the witch" Oh well.... Now when he starts having nightmares about green faced witches, I won't have anyone to blame but myself. Besides that though, the performance was wonderful and we had a great date!!
Not to much else happening right now. Jackson continues playing TBall and Football. I get to finally make it to a TBall game on Wed, so I'll take some pics then and post them as soon as I get some patience!
