7lbs 15 oz, 21 in May 31st, 2000 at 9:47 am
Congratulations Zach and Jenny! (Jenny is Chad's baby sister). Ty is such a cutie, and a tough little bugger! This baby and Jenny went through HELL to get here! Thank goodness for Dr. Judd the angel of mercy who came in and saved the day even when he wasn't on call to save Jenny from a c-section after being dialated to a ten for 6 hrs!! He had this baby out in 6 yes SIX minutes after a long hard night! Good job Jenny, I can't quit crying about how tough you are, and how I wish it were me having a baby! Its such a fun and happy time. Especially when you have Judd for a dr. and have babies as easy as me! I'm really sad we are done but I know we'll spoil little Ty to death!!
Jenny's baby Shower
Michelle(Chads sister) , Karen(Chads mom) and I had a baby Shower for Jenny ( Chads other sister) on the same day, as I got to go with the 3rd graders on their field trip. I managed to squeeze in 3 patiens that day some how. Chad of course saved my bacon again. I love how he just steps in and does things when he can see I am scrambling. Shelbee was having a melt down and wanted only me to get her dressed and her hair done. I still needed to cut up fruit and put the chicken salad sandwich mix in the cressants. So, after I got Shelbee ready and sort of myself I hurried down to the kitchen to attempt to finish, the shower was supposed to start in 30 minutes. Old Chaddy boy had cut up all my fruit, put in on a tray and filled all my sandwiches. I LOVE YA BABE! He is always picking up my slack. He is a get er done kind of guy and that is one of my favorite things about him.
He's got wheels
This kid is so funny! He is good at every sport I swear! He has got some serious wheels. Chad and I are always laughing at the way he moves around the bases and can't resist a slide into the base where ever he stops! A few games ago he caught a pop fly that was way up there at this t-ball game, and he hit 2 home runs! It is hilarious to watch. He is all business during the game. I'm thinkin he didn't get my genetic defect, and takes after his dad and grandpa Blain!!
Mrs. Lacrua
I just have to make a little note about Syd's teacher this past year because she is over the top, awesome!! Syd bawled and bawled on the last day of school because she didn't want to leave Mrs. Lacrua. Can you say you ever felt like that about a teacher?? I know I can't! I went on their field trip with them to the Clark Planetarium and the State Capital builing. The kids were REALLY good, but these teachers DO NOT get paid enough!! Mrs. Lacrua is always smiling, happy and so loving with those kids. I really think she actually enjoys her job! I've watched the kids always hanging on her & hugging her and she never quits smiling. I absolutely love the way she interacts with these kids. Besides the fact she is an awesome teacher. Syd learned so much this year and really tried hard all because of her! THANKS MRS. LACRUA!! We hope and PRAY that our other kids get to have you for a teacher!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!

Erika and Sydnee with the lambies
I love this picture of the girls with their lambies! They had so much fun with the lambs and both of them bawled when it was sale time! Syds got bought back from a sheep farmer to multiply and replenish!! So, my jokes about eating it for dinner were in vein. All the kids LOVE the stock show thing. I'm not sure if its because they miss school and run wild with their friends, or if its the animals. But, what ever, they had a great time!!

A "bump" or two in the road
I am a little hesitant to blog this since it could get back to my kids. But, I'm hoping it will relieve some guilt! Of our 7 puppies we had a few months ago, the kids begged us to keep one. We let them even though we already have 2 dogs. All 3 of the kids LOVE this dog. His name is Patch and he is sooooooooo cute. He is black with a white patch over half of his face and white paws. The kids go out everyday and play with him. Even Shelbee walks outside and yells "PATCH"! Devin especially loves to play with this puppy. So, Saturday night, I HAD to run to Payson market for a little more sugar. How pathetic. I already had enough to fix my sugar addiction for a month. The kids and Chad were watching a movie, so I "snuck" out. I'm driving down my driveway and all of the sudden, I felt a thump.....thump underneath the tahoe. AHHHHHHHH.... I knew immediately what I had done. My stomach dropped and I started to bawl, I stopped and looked in the rear view mirror and saw this bump in the driveway. I was freaking out. I rolled down the window praying that patch wasn't crying, and there was only silence. I am frantically trying to call Chad and it felt like an eternity before he answered the phone. When he answered I was bawling and I said, "I ran over the puppy"! He came right out, luckily the kids didn't seem to notice Chad had come outside. All I could think about was how upset the kids would be! Chad said, we'll just have tell them he's lost or something. So, when I came back in the house, the kids knew I had been crying and were asking me what was wrong. Of course I am way too big of a chicken to fess up. I told them I was just tired and had a lot of paperwork that I was behind on. The next day we went to church and the kids didn't seem to notice since we go at 9. But, when we got home the drama began. As soon as we got home from church, the kids were looking for patch. To my surprise Sydnee was bawling the most. We were busy going to Chad's moms then my moms, and gone pretty much the whole day. But, we managed to fit in the drive up and down our road hollering out the window yelling "Patch, Patch"! Talk about a tear jerker! Once again, I win mother of the year! They seem to be okay a few days later. Chad told the kids we could have some more baby puppies soon that they could keep one again. Every once in awhile Syd or Devin will say "I miss Patch" just out of blue. The salt in the wound will continue for a long time I'm sure. HAPPY EASTER, SORRY KIDS!

MY LIL SIS, THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!
In case you don't know, this is my little sis - Lindsey. For some unkown reason, I got lucky enough to have her for my sister! I just want her to know how much she means to me, she saves my bacon on a daily basis. She is ridiculously gorgeous, kind & patient. I can't imagine my life without her, I totally know that I DO NOT deserve her! She is always happy and is tougher than any other girl I know. Today is her birthday and I want her to know how ABSOLUTLEY WONDERFUL she is!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDS! I had a great time digging up these old pictures of us, which I CAN NOT quit laughing about.
One of my favorite memories growing up is of watching her do gymnastics. I could tell her to go out on the back lawn and do a round off, back handspring, back flip, back tuck, and she seriously would do it! When I think of her as a little girl I picture her with her dark black hair, freckles, lots of missing teeth, a tube top, shorts, and moon boots. (Which my mom still gets crap for). I also remember biting, yes biting her on the butt!! This was long before twilight, so I'm not sure where I came up with that method of torture....... I found it hilarious at the time. I woul totally open up a can if one of my kids did that! There seriously was a oval bruise days later with teeth marks!! Oh my gosh, wild days out on the farm at the Huff's.

The Funny Farm
Well, we do live on a funny farm, and absolutely love it! We sold our subdivision living, brand new home 4 years ago and bought this 50 year old home with ground just so we could "live out". I wouldn't go back for anything. We love living out here. Since Syd is 8 now, she can do stock shows. Chad of course is in his glory. I am trying to get into it, but...... well they all look the same to me!! We got Syd a lamb this past week for the Benjamin and Spanish Fork stock show. Syd is so excited, she named her lamb cotton and has been working with it every night, pulling it around on a halter. I think Chad wanted her to show a steer since that is his "happy place" , but I convinced him that she is a little, well too little to be pulling a big old fat steer around. The Benjamin show has a jr. show that Devin can participate in, but we are still up in the air on whether it will be a bummer lamb ( a small lamb) or a baby steer. Both kids are eating it up, and look forward to working with the animals after school. I think its been really good for them and teaching them a little responsibility!
