Yep, no doubt she is mine. Should I be worried about OCD?Addy is such a "little mama" she follows me around and has to do whatever I am doing. It is really special and oh so helpful when she "helps" with the dishes. Usually by the end of it I have a pool of water on my counters and floors. But, oh how she loves it. She also helps empty the dishwasher by putting the silverware away. She

I have been a blogger slacker lately, this is why:In June we went up Springville Canyon and spent a week at Hal's Uncle's cabin, it was FANTASTIC! The kids enjoyed every single minute of it! No cell phones, T.V. or friend's to distract us from spending time together as a family. We played LOTS and LOTS of games, shot some pool, learned how to shot bb and pellet guns, built a fire pit with

We have had a little Robin couple move into our tree in the backyard. It has been SO much fun watching them build their nest. They fly around the back yard squawking, picking up twigs and mud. They built a beautiful nest.And then, the mommy bird started laying eggs. Oh what fun! The kids have been watching all of this happen and ask everyday if the birds have hatched. Jack asks over and

It is 4am, I am up. I am mad. I am frustrated. I am having a pity party. All. By. Myself. My little people won't sleep. I have basically been up with them all night long. The actual 1 hour when they were both asleep, I sat in bed listening to Hal snore, wondering if he has sleep apnea. So, I tossed and turned. Trying to will myself to go to sleep. To not let Hal's snoring bother me. To not

Ever since we told the kids that Reggie was dying from diabetes, they have been researching dogs. What kind of dog we should get next? What kinds of dogs are good with kids/babies? What kinds of dogs need little to no grooming? What kinds of dogs are not yappy? The list went on and on. Trenton especially spent a lot of time on the internet reading up about dogs. He once concluded that we

Reggie was our beloved fat little poodle. He came to live with us in the spring of 2004, we found him through a really great organization called Lost Paws, he was 6-7 years old at the time. So, we have had a wonderful 6 years with him.Reggie was best known for his smile, and lovely disposition, not to mention his laziness and LOVE of the garbage and all food that was within reach. Hot dogs

Never assume that the other parent has an eye on the naughty 2 year old. Otherwise you both get to be surprise with the fact that your naughty 2 year old has taken up the art of painting toilets with nail polish.

Hal and I, for some crazy reason decided to refinish our kitchen cabinets. Okay, I convinced Hal to do it for me, for a Christmas present. I mean lets get real, Hal only took on the task because he really and truly loves me!I wasn't super fond of the orange-oaky color that came with the house. It looks so cheap and out-dated.So after much pleading and convincing. Hal set out to do the deed.

My "Little's" will now be known as the "Naughties". This is one of the many moments that I either scream and yell or get the camera out and laugh about it, obviously I chose the later. Addy saw me pull the camera out and looked up and said "cheese!", Jack followed suit and smiled big too.

Gosh darn! We were all (Hal, Jack, Addy and I) sleeping (NOT) in my bed last night when something went "bump" in the night, what was it you ask? A picture is worth a thousand words.Poor Addy is now going to have a scar on her beautiful little face, thanks to the corner of the nightstand table next to our bed.

So, tonight Hal needed to borrow a tool to fix the car and our neighbor has this particular tool, so we went over to borrow it and ended up hanging out and chatting for a bit. Hal actually went to school with this guy and they were pretty good friends in high school and now he is our hometeacher - small world.ANYWAY...We we got home, Hal and Hallie had this conversation:Hallie: "So, you and Hugh

July was a BUSY month for us, but oh so fun! First Salem Pond then 4th of July and camping at Payson lakes and we ended the month with a small family reunion camping at the top of Ephraim Canyon.I haven't ever been to Ephraim Canyon before. When we first started heading up the canyon I was a little disappointed, I was thinking that we would be camping in dry, ugly sage brush and high

One of the other things we do almost every summer is either a day trip or camping up at Payson Lakes. This year we camped for 2 days. It was so much fun! Although the campground didn't have running water this year because of construction.We camped with my Cousin Christine and her family. They have 6 kids which makes it so much fun for my kids. I loved getting to know her kids better and

For the last few years we (my side of the family) have made a yearly trek to the Salem Pond. it is so beautiful there, it's close too, just one city over from Spanish Fork and best of all FREE! I don't know why I don't take my kids there more often, maybe I am just too lazy. Anyway, we went there for a picnic and to play and swim. The kids had a BLAST! Jack loved chucking slimy mud all over

Starting out on one friends blog and then clicking through to other peoples blog and you happen upon a friend or acquaintance and you click on the link only to be disappointed because it is a "invitation only" blog, do you contact the blog owner and ask for an invite, or just assume that if they wanted you to read their stuff that

So, a few days ago I was driving down the road with Hallie, Jack and Addy in the car and Hallie is talking and talking and talking. I was mostly ignoring her and trying to concentrate on driving, but then this question popped up.Hallie: "Mom, what does sensual mean?"Me: Feeling very unprepared and not sure how to answer this. "Sensual?"Hallie: "Sensual"Me: "Ummmm, it is kissing and stuff like

A lot has been going on in the Throckmorton's house...All last week has been busy chaos! Hal finished up the basement (for the most part). Trenton and I painted the rooms with color. Trenton picked Olive green and Hallie got pink and orange. We moved EVERYTHING out of the family room into the kitchen, front room and garage because we re-carpeted, so I have been living in a MESS!

Hallie was born fuzzy, she had some amazing fuzz on her back, bum and thighs. The poor girl has stayed fuzzy, actually a better word for it is HAIRY! She is only 9 years old, but she has the hairy legs of a full-grown MAN! Yes, she knows it. I told her that is the way God made her, too embrace and love it, but really how can a girl enjoy being hairy? I really don't want her to be shaving yet

Hallie turned 9 years old yesterday! She had a super fabulous day! When I woke up yesterday it was to a 9 year old girl standing next to my bed, she was beaming! I looked up at her and said "Happy Birthday Hallie!" She giggled and thanked me. She then looked over at her Dad and asked when he was going to get up and tell her happy birthday, I told her to wake him up. She walked over and

I really need to get this written down, so if you don't want to know all the gory details, know that you have been warned. Cause here they are:9 years ago yesterday was just a normal pregnant day.

These are the kind of "dishes" I don't mind doing.I love bathing my babies in the sink, especially when they can sit on their own. It uses little water, the sink is at the perfect height, no bending over, kneeling by the tub. I also have the sprayer kitchen faucet, so showering them off is easy.This morning Addy had a MAJOR blow-out! Dang disposables if she had been in cloth this wouldn't have

Look what I got today!!! My sister Marci knitted it for Addy, I am so in love with it! This sock monkey skirty is 100% wool, so it makes a PERFECT soaker for cloth diapering. I used it today with pre-folds and it worked so well! I just think that Addy looks so cute in it! Marci is going to also knit a top to go with it, so pics of that will be coming soon.Okay, I promise my next post will

Got ya with that title didn't I! When I first started thinking about cd'ing (cloth diapering) I never thought that I would actually find joy in it, I thought it would be something that would save me a little money, but that it would be a pain. In all actuality I thought that I wouldn't fully commit to it and that I would have spent money on something that I hated and gave up on and in the end

So, after an absence of almost 14 years, I used a sewing machine! I think I need to find a class and take some lessons, because I don't remember much and had to play around with the machine for a while to try and remember how to use all the pieces. So, after working for a few days on some scraps, and putting together a couple of really UGLY diaper inserts, I finished a (cute) project!I

And I happened to come across this.Never Grown UpGag me now!And this seriously, this made me laugh out loud!This is WAY cool, but beware if you look at the other things this seller has listed, YIKES!Check out ETSY and see if you can find some strange things, then report back and link me to your crazy

Most of the time they love each other, but they do have their moments.It was actually a lot of fun having her here! They entertained each other and Jack learned a lot of new words from

Out of my 4 children I only have 1 that enjoys the day, Trenton thinks he is too old, Jack and Addy are too young, so that leaves Hallie, she LOVES stuff like this, so I do this for her.I bought her a shirt and socks.

Someone on one of my diaper groups alerted me to this so I thought I would share!Basically if you go to the website www.diapers.com and order any products they carry and order at least $49 worth of product, you can use this code: SUZI5444 and receive $10 off your first order. You are then eligible for a $15 rebate which you apply for here, so you can get $49 worth of diapers or other baby gear

On Monday, March 9th Hal and I will have been married for 14 years! I can't believe that it has been that long, but at the same time I can't believe it has only been that long. We celebrated our anniversary yesterday, we went to Red Robin for lunch, Addy and Jack tagged along with us. It was fun being out with Hal, but Jack could have behaved better. The little guy was HUNGRY, so he wasn't

My little lady is growing up, she is hitting some milestones, such as....Sitting upShe has been sitting up for the last couple of weeks, but in the last 4-5 days has officially become a "sitter", I can sit her down and she will just stay there for as long as she wants, or until a bigger (little) brother pushes her over.

My little man just came up to me and said "poo, poo, poo". I could smell that he had done the job and thought he was wanting his diaper changed. No sooner than I thought what a good little boy to come and tell me about his situation that I realized that something wasn't right. What do you think happened next? The little man was grabbing me by the hand still telling me "poo, poo" when I

I am feeling so gray today, I just want spring to be here already. Instead I am looking out my window at a very gray day! Cloudy, cold and a little bit of snow. I am stuck inside taking care of 2 sick babies. Jack and Addy both have new colds to add to the long list of sicknesses this winter.I long for the warmer days when I can take the kids out for a stroller ride or to a park to play. I

My last few entries have been about us being sick....So is this one! Since I am using this as a journal I just have to jot it all down.I was super sick last week. Super sore throat, fever and achy. I am now convinced I had strep. I am still not up to 100%, but I am getting there.Yesterday I took Jack to the Dr. because he had a rash on his little man part, which turned out to be nothing. The

.......even when Mommy is sick. I have a horrible sore throat, so sore that even after taking 800mg of ibuprofen it still hurts to swallow my own spit. I have a fever, so I am also super achy and just feel down right rotten. I have spent the day in my pj's and fuzzy socks. Addy & Jack are in diapers, I took their jammie's off, but don't have the energy to go find them something to wear. The

My poor little Jack-Jack is having a bad time. WARNING this is a WAY TMI post, if you are weak stomached DO NOT READ!Jack is in a bad way, he is CONSTIPATED! So, constipated that when he does finally poo (after a suppository) he bleeds. The poor boy acts like he is giving birth, to a BRICK! It is the saddest thing I have seen. The little boy prances around crying all day long. Saying "poo"

As a mother I can't imagine the pain, grief and emotional toll this must be taking on her and her family. If you could find a little extra time in your thoughts and prayers for the King Family, I am

I don't know what has gotten into me lately. Maybe it's the economy, maybe it's the fact that I only work 2 hours a week, maybe it's because I have 2 kids in diapers, maybe it's because I have a lot more free time to sit at the computer, maybe it's because i feel like "saving the planet", maybe it's because I really am going crazy - losing my mind due to no sleep.

I have gone to extreme measures to make it so that Reggie's food is out of reach of Jack, but, to no avail. We cut a hole in our bathroom door, purchased a small doggy door (that Jack can't fit through) and really try to always remember to keep the door shut, but Jack always finds a way to grab a handful of the gritty, smelly, disgusting stuff and shove it in his little mouth before I can stop

We had a fabulous Christmas!On Christmas Eve we went to my Mom's and had dinner at their church, it was fun being in the gym, we played volleyball, basketball and a little football. We had tons of yummy stuff to eat and I have to say that I overstuffed myself. I also just had to have a tiny little food fight with my nephew Bradyn, he was REALLY asking for it, so I obliged.Jack and Scarlet "The

My little sister and the kids that she nannies came over to play in the snow and to hang out for the day. Bryce (Shelley's charge) loves to play with "Jack-Jack" and since he started kindergarten this year he hasn't had a chance to play in a while. Mabel (Bryce's sister) gets to play with Jack a lot and Bryce is always jealous when he hears what May-may has been up to. So, he was super excited

Guess who has a degree????HAL!!! I just couldn't be happier and wanted to share it with the world! Way to go Sweetie!Okay, so it isn't totally official yet, but he had his exit interview and his professors professed their love for him and he has finished all of his classes and is getting a 4.0 for this semester, so I am sure that we will have the degree in hand soon.This isn't truly life

I found a new favorite blog, thanks to Libby. I only wish I had a daughter that would let me play with her hair and I also wish I knew more about hair. Anyone want to teach me how to french braid? I have to tell you that I have tried to learn before, but I am seriously handicapped when it comes to hairstyling.Princess HairAnd so I can enter a drawing for a CUTE hat, here is a link to a darling

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! We had dinner at my parents house, it was nice and quiet. My Parents, my brother Mike and his family and my little family were the only ones there. It was a nice change of pace for the holiday, we had yummy food and the conversation was great. It was nice not to have all the chaos of 16+ people there trying to figure out where everyone will sit and

Here are the promised picturesThis one was taken right as Trenton was being admitted.And this one was taken after he had been on IV antibiotics for about 18 hours, notice how much worse it is! This is when they got the infectious disease Dr. involved. He recommended a 3rd antibiotic be added, which made a HUGE difference.And then this is taken from our home today, just a few hours after being

I need to get this all written down before my memory starts to fade, with how tired I am I bet my memory is already fading.Friday through Wednesday~Trenton started out with a cold last week, he stayed home from school last Friday and spent the weekend miserable, laying on the couch, coughing, feverish and in general feeling pretty dang lousy. He was feeling quite a bit better by Monday morning,

I am SOOO tired, I have been up for the last 37+ hours. As some of you know, Trenton was admitted into the hospital yesterday. He has a sinus infection that has migrated really quickly through out his whole L sinus and is near his eyeball, in the socket area, but not actually in the eye. He is one sick boy! They have him on 3 really strong IV antibiotics that will kill anything in the spectrum

Hallie is our first daughter, 2nd child. She is 8 years old and is our resident drama queen. Not a moment goes by when she is in the house that we don't know that she is here.Hallie is so beautiful, I get comments all the time about her and how I need to keep an eye on her because all the boys are going to be gawking at her sooner than I want them too (not that I want them to EVER be looking

Trenton is our first son, he was born 14 months after Hal and I got married. He is now 12 years old, 5'9" tall and wears a size 13 shoe! I love him so much.He is one of the sweetest older brother's that anyone could dream of having. He is mostly patient with wacky Hallie although he has his moments where he likes to tease her and pick on her. He is so sweet with Jack, they are best buddies!

Okay, not my whole life, but my entire weekend!I spent every waking moment, minus a few diaper changes, nursing and actually pulling myself away to cook a roast and homemade rolls for Sunday dinner to read The Host by Stephanie Meyers. I really enjoyed it, in ways more than The Twilight series, although I started to feel dark and gloomy just like the cave, but that was probably from not moving a

I have meant to start a blog a few different times, but this time I really am going to do it! My days are filled with running after Jack and constantly telling him "No!", but lately I have been the one to be told "No!" too, it is his favorite word these days. He loves to love on Addy and is always wanting to give her slimy kisses and hugs that are a little too tight for Mommies comfort. I also
