Halloween Costumes...

Bailey was a Dragon Fairy, Natalie was a Popstar, Kylie was Cinderella, and Kenzi was a witch.
Kenzi's candy got too heavy for her to carry so she started dragging it. She wouldn't let anyone help her.
All of Natalie's candy. All of them got about the same amount. We had a good Halloween this year. The girls had a lot of fun and are ready for next year.

Cutest Thing...

This morning as I was on my way back from taking Natalie to school. Mackenzi wanted to stop a little ways from home, get out and run home. All my girls have gotten in the habit of wanting to do this. So cute. But this morning, Mackenzi didn't have shoes on. This is the conversation we had.

Mackenzi: "Mom, can I run home?"
Mom: "Kenz, you don't have shoes on."
Mackenzi: "I have pretend shoes on."
Mom: "Well, you still can't sweetie. Not this time."
Mackenzi: "But I have pretend shoes on."

I couldn't help but to laugh and tell her I love her. She's just so darn cute. When I got home I told Connie, my mother-in-law, about it and we both started laughing hysterically.

Another thing she does is when she asks to go to Grandma's house she always includes cousin Vance. This is a typical conversation about Grandma's house.

Mackenzi: "Mom, can we go to grandma's house please?"
Mom: "I don't know I'll have to call her first. Do you want to see Grandma?"
Mackenzi: "And cousin Vance. But not cousin Reed. Cousin Vance!"

She loves Grandma but seems she loves cousin Vance just a little more. =)

Kylie is the queen of hair accessories. She LOVES to put clips and headbands and anything you can think of she'll put it in her hair. I don't have a picture for some reaon but next time it happens I will be sure to get pictures.

All of my girls love to play video games. I think they mostly get that from their dad. Throughout the time they play these games, they are always saying, "Hey mom!! Look at me." "Watch me." They are getting very good at their games.

Well, that is all the cute things my kids do for right now. I'm sure something will happen tomorrow or even later today. =)

Unfortunate News....

So my mom text me this morning telling me my Uncle Herman had passed away. I felt sad, but the weird part is I haven't cried. For the past week or so I have been feeling emotional less. I don't really know how else to explain it but there have been several things that have been upsetting and there have been a few things I should have cried over but...I didn't. I feel the sadness about my Uncle's death but the emotion has shown. Just by looking at me or talking to me you would have never known anything bad had happened.

About an hour ago I picked Natalie up from school and when we got home she was upset at me and started crying and I knew what was wrong but being a mom I asked her anyway. "Natalie what's wrong?" No answer. So instead of getting upset or raising my voice a little bit cause she wouldn't talk to me like I have done in the past (horrible mistake) I just said very calmly, "Ok, go to your room then please." She went to her room and that was that. I was very surprised at myself for being so calm the last couple days. I like this new me because I haven't been losing my temper at all. Very much an improvement since last year. I just don't know about anything anymore. I just don't care about anything anymore. But somehow that just doesn't seem true because I still love my kids and my Matt. But other then that I just don't care. Something is wrong with me and I would like help to fix it. I'd rather not see a shrink though. Matt was messing around with me and said I was bipolar.

I'll figure it out someway. Hopefully Matt will take this more serious when I talk to him when he gets home tonight. Other than that things are going very well at the Price home.

We Work too Hard....

As you can see, we work way too hard during the day. =) Ok so maybe not but we just took time out to play the Wii for a while. =) Kenzi is bowling in this one and she is getting really good. She occasionally needs help but not as much anymore.
This is Kenzi playing the new game we just got. It's really fun. Matt and I are almost at the end of the game already. This is pretty much all the kids want to do. Luckily when they are bowling or playing any of the sports games they have to stand up and get some exercise. It's really fun for all of us. We very much enjoy our Wii. Thank you Jay!! =) You do so much for us and I appreciate it more than you will know. Thanks for being there for us.

Other than Wii Time, I usually get as much as I can done during the day before I need to pick Natalie up from school. It's been REALLY nice now that she is in school all day now. I don't need to rush to get things done. I'm enjoying her being in school than she is. haha Its been really fun though. She loves it. She's learning a lot.

Then there is Kylie and Kenzi who are playing the Wii or on the computer and just playing games all day. They are having fun too. =)

Matt is working hard at work. He's been having some neck and back problems which I can't seem to fix as a Massage Therapist. So I've been trying to get him to check on the insurance policy they have at work so he can go see a Chiropractor. He needs to see one really bad. If they say that massage every week for how ever long will help then it's massages for Matt every week. It's been tough on him but he's hanging in there. I'll keep you posted on him as soon as we find out what the deal is.

Nothing really new with me. Just getting music together for my mom. I can't seem to figure out what music Jared used to listen to. It's been way too long and I can't remember. But it's been fun for me to listen to music and just relax.

Bailey is doing really good too. She's doing fantastic in school. She recently had a progress report and she got straight A's. I'm so proud of her. School has been really good for her so far. She usually comes over here on the weekends which is no problem. We love having her here with us. I know that she is safe when she's here. I think thats why she comes over here so often is that she feels safe with us and there isn't any fighting or contension going on, unlike with her mother. She always ends up fighting with her mother and its so said because they get out of hand and Bailey ends up crying and calling me to see if I'll come get her. I'm glad that she knows that I'm here especially in these situations.

Anyway, that is the exciting life of The Price Family. Oh and one more thing.

I miss my best friend. =(

Tough Times...

I miss my best friend.

I love my hubby-to-be.

The End.

Exciting Times to be had...

Well, everything is going great with us. Except for one minor detail, but we'll get through it. She won't come around that often anyway. Well, Natalie starts school on Monday!! YAY!! I'm very excited. She's more excited. Plus her birthday is the same day she starts school. Which is fine for now but when she gets to be in 6th grade or so she'll hate it, just like I did. Kylie and Kenzi are just loving being able to play all the time. Not having to worry about school or chores...yet! hehe Nothing really major has been going on. Just that SHE has moved back to Vegas. If you don't know who SHE is then you are much better off but when I refer to SHE, I am referring to Matt's ex-wife. The biological mother of Natalie and Kylie. Notice I didn't say REAL mother. She is not a real mother. She is never around to be a real mother. They are MY kids, and never will be HERS. Sorry, I really don't like to speak ill of others but she's the worse kind of person you could imagine and then worse than that.

Anyway, enough about that. Here are some pictures from the recent weeks.

We had the cousins over for a weekend and they wanted to be cute and play in the pantry.

After it rained at my house we saw a rainbow and my kids insist I take a picture of it.

We went to my mom's to visit and Vance was just so cute. I think he was looking at his mom.

Update...

Well, my birthday has past which was a huge success. I had one of the best days of my life. It was fabulous. Although we did not do so much at all I think that's what made it fabulous. Matt got me a very awesome new camera, Connie gave me a lot of money to spend on myself. :D My family got me those awesome vampire books I've been wanting for a while. Heather got me Wii games. And of course Jay went a little overboard and got me a Wii!!! I think this covers Christmas and my next birthday. Possibly next Christmas too. :D I love Jay so much. He is such an awesome friend. I don't know what to get him for his birthday now. I've got a lot of time though.
This is Mike Gardner, Jay Dorrity, Heather, and Bailey. I was reading the girls a story and Matt is taking the picture. These guys made my birthday fabulous.

Bailey has started school and of course being a teenager doesn't like it but she's doing really good so far. She's been getting all her homework done and comes over here to do homework on the computer and such. On the weekends spends the night and spends time with the girls. It's always fun to have her around. She's growing fast too. I'm not sure how much taller she's going to get but she's getting pretty tall. She's a really good girl.

Natalie will be starting school on Sept. 15th, which is her birthday. Not fun but she's really excited to start school. We have all her school supplies and next week we will be going to get her some new clothes. She keeps growing way too much. She's eating like crazy too. She's got a hollow leg. Kind of like my sister Tifani. :D

Kylie is excited for Natalie to start school too because she gets Natalie's old backpack. Now she wants to play school all the time. Kylie is growing fast too. Not as fast as Natalie or Kenzi but she's getting there. We've been working with her a lot. She knows letters and sounds and is reading small words like, cat, dog, milk and stuff like that.

Kenzi is just being Kenzi. She's getting all her toys out and doesn't want to put them away. She's learning a lot of things from her sisters. Some are good things and some not so good but I'm trying to correct them to do what's right. Each of them do a lot better when the others aren't around. But I guess thats how it goes.

They are getting so big. It's crazy how fast they grow but you don't realize it until you look at pictures from only a couple months ago. It's a lot of fun having them though.
This was taken a couple weeks ago. I haven't gotten them all together for a while but they haven't changed much since this one.
