Kayslee

We are so proud of Kayslee as she is officially potty trained. She has been potty trained for about two months but now she has no accidents during the day or at night. We are very proud of her. Now since she is pottie trained though she is in love with toilet paper and has to make sure she has enough to wipe with and sometimes it a little much. She was pretty much very easy to pottie train. I say over all we had about 5 - 10 accidents. I'm now looking forwayd to Maddee's day when it comes. I hope she is as good as Kayslee.

Kayslee's favorite treat right now is Oreos and milk. Every night she has to have a glass of milk and a package of oreos. Papa loves to enoy them with her.

Thanksgiving at the LVMS Track

This is our fourth year spending our Thanksgiving out at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Drag Strip. I look forward to this trip as it is a place to escape the normal life to a fun active life. We pack up our toy hauler and kids and head out to spend the whole weekend at the track. The head Chef of NY casino is our weekend Chef as well as his wife Teressa. The weekend if full of Kerokee, bomb fires, laugh, drama and o ya and racing. This year we had a specail treat with my cousin Shyanne coming down and spending the weekend with us.

New York

So last month my mother and I had a wonderful girls trip to up state New York. Yes I left the kids home and thanks dad for watching them and surviving. It was a last minute deal for me to go, but I'm sure glad I went. My brother Jimmy and his wife who live in DC met us there and we had a awesome time. We first started at Niagara falls. Wow so pretty, we even brought our passports and went on the Canadian side man can I say beautiful! We then did the sacred grove and all the historical church sites. We stayed near the Palmyra Temple were my brother and sister-in-law and I managed to get a session in. In this little town there wasn't to much to eat but we managed to find hole in the walls (the only two in the town) to eat at while we were there. It was such a fun trip to just spend with my mom and my brother Jimmy and his family. We even got to see were my grandpa (mom's dad) was rasied and got to see the house he was raised in. The lady who just bought the house was home and she took us for a tour in her home. It was a little awekward but in the long run a great expreiance. We also saw the beautiful campus he went to medical school at and still provides someone every year with a scholorship there. Thanks fam for the memories. I love you!

Sacred Grove

Happy Halloween!

Were do I start? Halloween was SOOOO much fun this year. Kayslee was a cow and Maddee was a chicken. Kayslee made Richards and I's Halloween. We started the night off at the church doing trunk or treat and riding on the golf cart ride then we took off to do the real trick or treating. Kayslee was so cute going up to doors and saying, "trick or treat." Then she would tell them thank you. Even if the house was scary she didn't get scared and would march right up to the front door step to ring their doorbell. Her bucket was getting to heavy so we gave her Maddee's bucket (that had no candy in it.) This was a good stragegy on our part now not knowing it but when she would go up to the doors with no candy in her bucket and they would feel sorry for her and give her lots and then when she got back to the stroller she had to empty it into her bucket afraid Maddee would be able to keep it if it was in her bucket. So every house she was getting not just one piece of candy but a handfull. It was so cute. Then when we got back to grandmas and Grandpas to pick up Maddee, Kayslee would tell her grandparents about the scary houses and how she told the monsters, " no monters don't get me" and she would put the hands up to protect her face. She was SOOOOO cute. This is such a fun age. Maddee was getting tired and really didn't understand what was going on so thank you Grandma and Grandpa who stayed home like lumps on the log. And I must add their lights were off by 8:00pm. What a fun night this was!!!! Happy Halloween everyone!

The Babtism

At the beginning of this month my family had a special blessing take part in our lives. On October 2nd my husband got baptized to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It was such an amazing event that I will cherish forever. He has been taking the discussions for well over a year and has also been going to church for well over a year. Everyone in our ward, and me especially, didn't understand why he wasn't a member when he was more active than most members in our ward but the lord and him will only know why. I never pushed the issue as I knew it would happen eventually. Well the week before his baptism, the missionaries were over (but that's nothing new because they are here twice or three times a week for dinner, bathrooms, a drink, whatever they need) Well My husband looked at Elder Ferrero and told him, "I'm ready!." We all then looked at each other waiting for the "just joking" to come out but then we looked at Richard again and his eyes were filling up with water. Richard and his best friends daughter Rheann made a pack that when they were ready, they would get baptized together. So it happened. What a remarkable long journey this has been for my family. Now comes the countdown to be sealed to my wonderful family. Thanks everyone for all your support and love you showed and show to my family.

The two best missionaries!! Elder Ferrero and Elder Thedale

My dad baptized both Rheann and Richard

Madee's Walking

So instead of having up dated pictures, I decided to post a videos of what's been going on this past month or so. My Maddee is now walking. It's been about a week or so since I can say she's walking. It's so cute. She walks on her tip toes and looks like a drunk sailor. She has been teething a lot lately. Her first tooth was the middle bottom. Then her two K9 teeth came in. So she kind of looks a little silly. Well this morning it looks like her front two teeth are breaking through as well as her other bottom middle. So.......My Maddee is finally getting teeth. She still has no hair though.

Kayslee is now sleeping in her own bed. She will still get up though around 3am and come get in bed with us but we are breaking that as well. Last night was the first night we didn't give into her coming into our bed at all and what did my husband say? Let me tell you....he said, "I miss Kayslee sleeping with me, it's like mu security blanket." O no I need to now break him too!!

Richard is in his pre academy with CCSD Police before starting the real thing a week from today. He has been getting his butt kicked. He's doing a better though. Today they ran 5 miles instead of three and he didn't fall behind or throw up. They have now moved on to a new guy to pick on.

I have been busy working and talking care of the kids as well as taking on being one of the coaches on the neice/daughters team Taylor. I just call her my daughter now cause she pretty much is. I love her and being able to do all this with her. She's a cutie but still has teenager issues.

Well that's the update on the Price family. Enjoy the video. Kayslee loves to sing but got bashful when the camera was on, now days she doesn't as you can tell. Her singing and her playing with the hose was taken this summer. Enjoy!!!

Racing

One of my families favorite things to do is to load up and go to the race track for a night of family fun. We haven't been racing for a long time because we keep blowing up engines. Well we finally got a engine together, got new tires and off to the track we went. Wow did race fuel go up. For just 10 gallons of fuel it cost us $97.00 Holly Molly must I say. Well Richard ran the car because he didn't know how the car was going to run with a new motor and and new tires. Well it ran very slow for what Richard wanted it to do. All night the fastest time was 10:94 in the quarter mile. He went red the first round so the night wasn't to long. We ended up leaving the track at 1am. So that goes to show you how much fun we have out there.

Here are some pictures of Tyler being hallarious.

Taylor and Kayslee, Jordan and Kayselee, Kayslee with her pizza the size of her, Maddee eating goolosh, and me feeding Richard pizza as he's trying to tune up the car.

Richard racing while we are all cheering him on except for Maddee as she is passed out.

Can't wait till we go again.

Happy Birthday Richard

Maddee's Party

Maddee's first Birthday Party was a big success. So many family and friends came that I was to busy catching up and socializing that I didn't get to many pictures. I first want to thank everyone for coming and for all the cute gifts that Maddee got. So.....THANK YOU!!!!

Last minute I decided to rent a jumper since we were having so many little kids over. I don't know who enjoyed it more the little ones or the older ones. When eveyone was gone I went outback and found the older kids jumping in the castle and it was bent all the way over. Kids/teenagers???????........what are we going to do with them?

These are some pictures I managed to get.

I did however set a goal for myself to take a picture of all kids and I managed to do it. This was even the first picture to!!! When it was time to open presents I left for a quick second to say bye to some friends and came back to everything torn apart and misplaced so I have no clue who got her what.

Now time for the cake story. I think this is why we have parties is is to see how cute they are with the cake. She was much messier and more into it than Kayslee was. I had to hurry and blow out the candle cause she was reaching fast for it. After I pulled it out Kayslee stuck it in her mouth for her portion of her sisters cake.

This was such a fun night. Again I want to thank everyone for coming and making this one of my favorite memories. I hope Maddee will remember and know how much she is loved by so many people. Again Happy Birthday Maddee we love you!!!

Maddee is 1!!!!

8/18/08 Happy Birthday to my one year old little princess Maddee!! You are the MVP of our family. You have been through so much and with many miracles in your life your first year. You are a true angle sent to us. We love you!!!!

Where Has Time Gone???

It has been over a month ago since I have posted anything so were do I start to update my blog? Things have been so crazy at my house (but whose house isn't right?) On the Fourth of July, Richards mother at age 59 passed away. She got a internal Virus called C-Dif and the doctors couldn't figure out what was going on until it was to late. Slowing but surely all her organs shut down. We are so sad for her loss and will miss her tremendously.

Since Ann's death we have had an angle in our house named Shyanne. She is my second cousin who is now my new child Taylor's best friend. We have been trying to cope with things as a family and get used to having another child, Taylor, (16) in our house. So.... if you haven't figured it out with Ann passing she was raising Taylor so now she is ours!!!!! She is such a sweetheart and are lucky to have her part of our family. We just need to teach her now that it's not all about boys at this age right?????? So we have been trying to do activities to make the family closer. Here we are bowling.

July 21st my brother Stephen and his wife had another baby girl Riley. She is so cute. Here are all the little ones in their matching dresses hanging out. Since they were all here, we called Grandma to come over and to take pictures. It was hard trying to get them all to cooperate.

With me having weekends off we have been traveling up to Utah a lot. This past month we have been up there twice riding horses, bikes, milking goats, picking peas, jumping, and so much more. It's so nice to get out of town once in a while. Most of my pictures I need to get from my moms camera but here are ones for now.


To finish our post for the month of July..... RICHARD IS A GRANDPA!!!!!!!! Brittany had a baby girl July 31 and named her Brylie. So Congrats to Brittany. We Love You!

SHOPPING!!!!

Wow I love coupon shopping!!!!!! This bill came to a total of $27.00 With that I also got $15.00 off my next shopping trip so really I spent only $12.00 FOR ALL THIS!

7- fruit roll ups 2-fruit gushers-4 boxes of Reese's cereal-4cake mixes-3 icings-6 browning mixes-3 fruit snacks-and 4 ready to bake cookies.

I know its all fatty food so my husband isn't to excited about this but I was. Maybe this is why I'm getting so fat but hey it was a great deal I must say.

Fun with Cousins

This last Tuesday we had the opportunity of having my sister over for dinner. She is in town with all 5 of her kids. Aspen was up at girls camp so she wasn't here but the others were. After dinner we made cupcakes and the kids had fun decorating..... especially Marina and Kayslee.

The Past Month

Well it's been a month since my last post. I have been very busy having fun with my brother Jim and his family who have been living in China for the past two years. Now since things are a little calmer I decided to post tonight (almost midnight) and having to be up at 6 am to get ready to go to work but for some reason I am not tired so here I am in the computer room getting ready to blog a long post. Well the month started out with Jimmy, Kayslee, Maddee and Jessica spending a lot of time together.

Here they are out at Red Rock in Cowboy Town.

The next weekend we went to our first ward party breakfast were the kids had a blast playing on the big slide and Tyler, Richard and I played water balloon toss and catch.

All month the kids have had so much fun together.

We had cement poured for our RV Parking.

Boys going golfing with breakfast afterwards.

Then this past weekend was a very special weekend. I went and took my endowments out at the Las Vegas Temple 06/19/2009. What a very special memory and day this was for me. Words just can't describe. All I have to say is..."What took me so long?"

The next day my Brother Jimmy and his Wife Jamiee adopted a little girl in China named Jessica and they had her sealed to their family for time and all eternity. Once again what a special day.

I just love being surrounded by my family.

So this is the end of the blog. A lot has gone on this month but I wouldn't change it for anything. I want to wish all the Fathers out there a very Happy Father's Day!!! And thanks Tyler for going to church with us. It ment so much to your dad to see you at church with him. What a nice surprise.

Happy 30th Birthday Brian

For those you didn't know my stunning brother, here he is. Today he would of turned big 30. Even though he has passed away, his memories and spirit still carries on with us everyday. Happy Birthday Bro I love you and miss you soo much!!!!!!!

Taylor's softball banquet

Grandma Annie (Richard's mom) has been in the hospital with a yucky virus that was shutting down her organs. We thought we were going to loose her, but with her fight and determination she is getting much better. Today she was finally transferred out of ICU after being in there for 3 1/2 weeks. Since she has guardianship over Richard's niece Taylor, she has been staying with us now going on 4 weeks. She is a freshman at Eldorado High School and she made the Varsity Softball team!!! They took 3rd this year in their division and that is very good cause they are a young team with only two siniors graduating. Last night was her awards ceremony. It was nothing spactacular but we are still very proud of her. It has been a fun chalanging experiance having her live with us. We love you Taylor Ann!!!!

Upstairs of new house!

Okay we are starting to get situated in our new house. Here are some pictures of the rooms upstairs. We will first start with the boring guest room/taylors room.

Maddee's room is not complete. I'm not sure what to do with her's yet and then the work out room has my brothers cats in it for now. So there is so need to post those.
