Lots of stuff to talk about

I have a few things that I would like to get off my chest.
First of all, I can't WAIT to see Twilight!! I get all warm and fuzzy inside just thinking about it. I have been trying to tell Rayce all about the books, but he doesn't seem to care. He asks the questions, and then when I tell him, he realizes that he really doesn't care, zones out as I go on a HUGE spill about it, and how much I am in love with a vampire. So he has pushed me off to go see it with family when we get down to Idaho Falls on Sunday. I am excited to spend both time with the fam, and get to see my beloved Edward.
Secondly, is I am SSSOOO sick of people pushing me to do things that I really don't want to do. I guess that people think that because I was raised LDS, and at one point was active, that I am still just as motivated to go to church, but lack something, so they remind me. So here it goes: PEOPLE!!!! If I really wanted to go to church, I would be there. This is nothing against any of you that go, to whatever church you want. It just means that I don't. And I am sick of getting asked about it all the time. I am a big girl, and I can make my own decisions. And when I am ready, I will go, and enjoy. But as of now, I don't. I swear, if I get asked one more time I'm going to SCREAM!!!! (I have been asked a ton of times in the last 2 months by at least 6 different people. There must have been an announcement in Relief Society or something) And now we have the missionaries knocking on our door to. GOOD GRIEF!!! But like I said, I am not looking down on anyone that goes to church, and I would hope that you do the same for me. Believe me, when I am ready, we will come.
The third thing, (yes, I am venting!) I am so sick of cleaning!!!! I swear, I should be paid for all my services! It's not enough that I am a full time student, work and extracurricular activities, but I have to wipe butts while I'm at it (only figuratively speaking, my kids are all potty trained [one thing I have going for me!]) I just want one day where I can walk in the door and say "Rayce, you put all the clothes away, and the dishes are done. You are the best!" Now, don't get me wrong, Rayce is a big help, but we have relatively the same work load, and yet here I am slaving! But oh, well, life goes on, and I will get through it.
So lastly, I would like to end on this point, I LOVE MY FAMILY!!! And if it wasn't for the love and support that they show me, I could never get through a single day. My kids make me smile even when I feel like bawling, and my husband shows me love when we should be screaming at each other.
So now that I have vented, I feel MUCH better.
Thanks!!!

Icelynn's Birthday

My Little Girl is 5!!! I can't believe it. These are mostly of her birthday party we had for her a few days before her real birthday. She had a hayday! She is so artsy, that is why we made our own trick-or-treat bags. She was the first to start and the last to finish.

She loves "Fancy" hair (aka curly hair). So the night before her birthday we put spiral rods in her hair so that she got what she wanted. She was so excited about her Cinderella dress she got. We decided that because we got a big cake for her party, and there was just enough left for the 3 kids, we would just put candles on that and sing to her. She thought that I was crazy, but she went right along with it. What a good sport! She also insisted on wearing this "Beautiful" dress.



A few things about my little 5 year old Icelynn Cyan
*She is SOOO smart! She has been able to count to 100 for months now, and she can put together 7 year old puzzles like they are nothing.
*Icee LOVES to sing, and she is really good at it. Her life is a musical and dance theme. She is such a wonderful little musician!
*She is so loving! She is always wanting to snuggle and kiss on everyone! She always is the first one to tell ya she loves ya in the morning, or before you go anywhere. She is such an angel sent from above just for us!
*Icelynn is probably one of the funniest little girls I have ever met! She keeps us laughing and on our toes all the time. She is the entertainer in the fam!
We love you Icelynn, and hope that your next 5 years are just as fun, full of life, and happy as the last 5!
