Octomom

Everyone remembers the Ocotomom.  Today I was watching her on Oprah (from a while back) and first thing when I saw her thought "what a physco mom!"  Like other people thought why the heck would a single mother that already had 6 kids of her own that hardly could afford them have 8 MORE???  Well on Oprah she Nadya confessed she was running out of money and didn’t know where her next paycheck was coming from.
In an effort to help, Oprah suggested that Nadya get a financial intervention from money powerhouse Suze Orman.  Which I absolutely love love!  I think she is brilliant!)

On the Show:

Oprah: If you're watching at home, it's very easy to judge [and say], look how many kids [she had]. But how many of you had two and then had another one when you knew you couldn’t afford the two?

Suze: And that's the point. That’s a big, big point. ... If you can't afford one and you have two, if you can’t afford two and you have three, if you can't afford three and you have four...are you really that much different from what is happening here? I'm just asking you to think about it.

Oprah: And also, for [Nadya], the addiction is babies and medicating herself—literally. I think that's a great term that you call it: self-medicating with children. People do it with their things all the time. How many people have things that they can't afford, and then they go get something else that they can’t afford, living in houses they can’t afford?

This made me think how many people are having babies because they WANT them BUT can't AFFORD them?  Do you think you should continue having children if you CAN'T afford them?

COUSINS

Emma * Brayden * Khloe * Allie

5 out of the 10 Nuttalls are married with kids.  2010 was a busy year for the Nuttalls.  1st came Khloe, then Emma, Allie, and then Brayden.  One more is coming in April!  We are so excited for all these new cousins!  Life is going to be fun!

 Emma and Allie.  I think they look similar.

Grandma Nuttall with Allie

5 MONTHS

Oh my goodness how time flies!  Allie just turned 5 months and I have been saying for a month that she is almost 4 months.  On all the videos I have been recording I have said she is almost 4 months and then one day I realized oh my gosh she is 4 months she is almost 5 months!  She is too little to be 5 months :(  Oh this makes me so sad.  My baby is growing up too fast.  Allie is turning on her side, grabbing toys, holding her head up somewhat during tummy time, and figuring out how to hold things and put them to her mouth.  Allie is still not sleeping through the night.  She still wakes up 2 to 3 times a night.  Dexton was sleeping through the night at 2 months but it doesn't help that Allie has been sick a lot lately.  She is my Angel, my precious, my baby girl, my beautiful Allie!  Oh how I love this little girl!

Kylee turns 18

 This is my sister n'law Kylee.  She is the youngest of 10, the baby :)  Kylee just turned 18!  We celebrated with most of the Nuttall Family at our friends restaurant Chubbys. We had a fun time!  Happy Birthday Kylee!  We love you!

I made this cake for Kylee

 Didn't know what to get her so I called McKenzie to see if girls their age wear purses.  She said yes so that's what I got her.  I love purses!  You can never go wrong with a purse :)

This is Allie and her cousin Brayden.  He is a month younger then Allie. 

Bath Time

It's so funny, Dexton always plugs his ears whenever he is taking a bath.

Snowmobiling

Our brother n'law bought some snowmobiles.  I think Kendell has went snowmobiling every weekend since.  Ha ha.  Dave loves snowmobiling and enjoys hanging out with his brother n'law.

Run Dave Run!

Dave and I had our mind set that we were going to run the Moab 1/2 marathon this year but our friend convinced us to run the St. George 1/2 marathon instead.  It was 1/2 the price of the Moab, holy cow running is expensive!  I immediatly signed  both of us up back in October.  I thought for sure I could be ready to run in January...I wasn't.  We paid $40 each for us to run and I just didn't feel like I was ready nor did we have sitters so that was $40 down the drain.  This was the 1st time I got to just watch and support Dave running.  It was so fun watching him come in and cheering him on.  Man I miss running!  We had so much fun though down in Sunny St. George.  We visited my Aunt and Uncle which I haven't seen for a while.  Dave and Dexton went swimming.  There was no way I was going to get my chubby self in a swim suit lol.  Dave of course got us our hotel room and like always was so nice.  Because Dave stays in hotels a lot he always want to stay in nice ones when we go on vacations.  I'm so glad we got to come down for a couple of days and have a mini vacation with our little family.

Cheer Competition

My little sis McKenzie had a cheer competition that I got to watch at Timpview High School.  They did awesome.  I think they got 2nd place.  UVU cheerleaders performed and honestly most the schools were better then them.  They did not look like they knew what they were doing.  Congrats JHS Cheerleaders! 

Fun Times with my niece and nephews!

Back in January I got to tend my niece Madison and my nephews Parker and Jacob.  Dexton loves playing with kids in general but loves loves playing with his cousins the best!  While the boys were being boys I made some flowers for Madison and her little sister Emma's hair.  Dexton wanted me to put one in his hair and take a picture lol.  Dave is going to kill me ha ha!  Then Madison and I got on line to learn how to make a purse.  It was so easy and fun!  Oh how I love girls and doing girly stuff.  It was so much fun hanging out with Madison!!!

My hair is falling out!

Well I think I might have found the reason why I am having a hard time loosing my last 15 lbs.  It all started about a month ago when I was realizing in the shower a lot of hair was going down the drain.  Then I started noticing on my counter top while brushing my hair a lot of hair was appearing on the counter.  It was finally the day I was folding my laundry on my bedroom floor and noticed all the hair on my clothes...oh my gosh my hair is falling out!!!  In the shower I was noticing hand fulls of hair was in my hands while rinsing the shampoo out.  I thought for sure it was the diet.  I couldn't find anything saying it might be then I thought hmm maybe it's my IUD.  Well I researched it on line and I found tons of women saying the same thing, hair loss, not being able to loose weight, irritable, anxiety, etc.  I had all these symptoms.  I asked my sister n'law if she had these and she said she did but it finally went away.  She said just now her hair is growing back.  Now what to do...I am thinking more of getting it out.  I don't know how much more hair I can loose. 

I HATE DIETING!

So it has been 19 days and I have lost...NOTHING!!!

I am so freaking annoyed!  I have been doing so good, not cheating at all and exercising almost every day.  The thing that kills me is that Dave has lost 5 pounds and hasn't really changed anything he has been eating!!!  And my friend has already lost weight and inches but of course he is a MAN!!!  I haven't weighed myself but I have measured myself.  I don't even dare get on a scale.  I wish I could say my pants feel looser and my shirts feel bigger but they DONT!  I HATE DIETING!!! 

January

 $1 Game at BYU.
Every year we go to the $1 Game for the BYU basketball team.  It's always exciting because we see the BYU football team and it's gets us pumped up for the next season.  The BYU basketball team is doing awesome this year.  This was great for the kids.  Go cougars!!!

Dexton always puts on his "charlie" blankie and pretends I can't see him.
I've talked about Jacob before he is only a month younger then Dexton.  They are best friends and cousins.  It took almost 3 years for them to FINALLY get along.  They used to fight fight fight!  Oh it was so bad!  But now they are best buds and love playing together.  I had Jacob sleep over awhile back.  I put them in robes and they thought it was so funny. 

Random pictures.  Dexton loves these noodles.  Dave used to call them "chocolate noodles" when Dexton was younger because they were brown.  Since then Dexton either calls them that or Daddy's noodles because Dave takes them for his dinners while he flies.  If it was up to Dexton he would eat these everyday.  I would love that except they really have no nutritional value whatsoever.

9 Years!

Aren't we gorgeous!  Oh what a happy couple we are.  That picture was taken almost 7 years ago.  Lets just say moving to Arizona, both working at Chilis, eating at Chilis almost everyday made us gain a few pounds ha ha!  And the best part about it we didn't even notice then we just were madly in love lol.
Well seriously I can't believe it has been 9 years.  Our exact anniversary is on Jan 5th but this year we did not get a chance to celebrate it.  Now it's Feb and we both still have our cards that we have written to each other but haven't had a chance to exchange them.  Hopefully we will soon.  How life changes when you have 2 kiddos.
I love Dave so much!  I seriously pray all the time thanking my heavenly father for sending him into my life.  He has changed me so much!  He loves me for who I am and he has made me love myself for who I am.  He is my rock, my sole mate, my everything.  Thanks Dave for loving me and sticking with me through everything.  I love you Dave!!!

Our December 2010

I couldn't believe how behind I was in blogging my family.  So here's a quick summary of our December...

 We have started a new tradition in the Nuttalls home.  We are going to make Santa fresh baked cookies to leave him with a note by Dexton.  Dexton loved it.  He's just like mommy he loves to cook!

 Santa and the Easter Bunny always do the same thing...they leave a trail of candy to the grand presents!

 Santa finished off the milk and cookies.  Dexton loved gathering the candy.

 Because Dave has to work most holidays and it wasn't any different this year we celebrated our Christmas on the 22nd.  We made sure to ask Santa to come early this year but to also visit us at Nana and Papas too.

 That night we went bowling with Dave's sister Kim and her family.  Dexton loved it.

 Angie suprised us from California.  I didn't get a picture dangit but she rang the door bell and when I opened the door there was a huge box wrapped saying to the Nuttalls from Angie.  Dexton went to the box, the box started shaking, Dexton got scared and then Angie jumped out.  Dexton slammed the door and said "that's not a toy!"  Ha ha it was funny.
Angie got Dexton this whole set of toy story characters.  He loved loved it!

 Allie loves her papa

 Angie loves playing practical jokes so she wrapped up some christmas cookies and told Dexton it was his gift.  He opened it and looked so confused and again said "this isn't a toy!"

 New Jammies for Allie.  Couldn't resist to get these clearance $2 Jammies for Allie.  My mom and dad took Dexton to a basketball game a while ago and Dexton saw the refs with whistles and told my dad he wanted one.  So my dad got him one for Christmas.  Thanks dad my ears have been ringing since.

 Christmas Dec. 25th at my parents in Nephi

 Another joke from Angie.  She wrapped up an old dolls head of Kenzies and gave it to her for Christmas.  Dexton was horrified.

 Christmas evening we met up with my sister Jenny and her family to see the movie Tangled.  Dexton loves hanging out with his older cousin Nathan.  Not sure if Nathan loves it ha ha but Dexton is attached to his hip when he is around.  The movie was so so cute!  I loved it!

 Dexton hardly ever holds Allie, sometimes I wonder if he even knows she's alive ha ha.  Which could be a good thing though, he never tries to hurt her whew.  But here he is holding Allie in front of the tree.  He is such a good big brother.

 I LOVE MY KIDS!

 Allie is thinking "I have a headache"

 Sledding??? K so I didn't have a sled and it just snowed so I decided to get a towel and make our own sled.  It was actually pretty fun.  Dexton had a ball.  We also made snow Angels which he thought was so funny.

Angie built a somewhat snowman with Dexton.
