Don't forget the Eldest

You won't find Jaxon letting you take a picture of him anyday soon! In fact your lucky if you do see him! Jaxon is a freshmen this year and decided to try playing football for the first time. He broke his shoulder the first week of practice but is now healed up and got to play in his first game last Wed. It was an away game so I haven't seen him play yet. Can't wait for a home game so I can go see his moves! He is about as tall as me know. A whoppin five foot two to be exact! He has grown a lot in the last couple months and now looks like a young man! I hate that my baby is growning up and making me get older every day! His voice is low and deep now and it is so strange to see your baby turning into a man! I don't like it! Not one bit!

Back to Reality!!!

I can't believe that the kids have been in school already for over a month! I really need to get a new computer!!! Ours is about six years old and very very slow. I think it is infected with numerous viruses which makes it very slow and so not fun to update my life on! But I have myself a few hours while Kris is watching the USU - BYU game. We are back to reality and back to a schedual since school started! Lots of playing after school, homework, and still fighting kids to get in bed at a decent hour!

I was able to squeeze Mylee into a preschool at the last minute because someone dropped out and she is loving it! She goes on Tues, Wed, and Thurs. I take her to work with me for an hour and then clock out and take her to school at 1:00. I get off at 3:00 and go pick her up. It has worked perfectly with my work schedule and relieves my sister from having to watch her everyday! She loves it and thinks she is so big! She is learning to write her name. Her nickname lately is THE QUEEN! And if you know Mylee at all you know it fits her very well.
Next year is kindergarten!

This is Paydon and Shelby the first day of school. They go to the same school this year and hopefully will look out for each other. Paydon is in 2nd grade and Shelby is in 5th. Maturation program here we come!!!!

What is it about a plate of skanky nachos from 7-11? Gotta have me some every now and then!

And for a little laugh. Why do they have to make girls panties so hard to figure out which two holes your legs go into! You almost need to be Einstein to figure it out! This girl doesn't really care. Get them on and get on with breakfast!!!

Bashaw Headlines

Between my computer being down with a nasty virus and me stalking everyone else's blogs it has been a while since I have posted. There have been a few things to catch up on so this is what has happened in the Bashaw household these last couple of months.



The Bashaw boys burfday extravaganza!

On April 10, 2010 Jaxon Charles Bashaw and Paydon Ross Bashaw celebrated their 14th and 7th birthdays! The day was rather uneventful because Mylee ended up throwing up mid day scaring everyone away from our house. We had a small party with grandma Carol and grandpa Bob. Man I love these boys!

The Easter Bunny came for his annual visit!

All the Hillyard cousins!

Mylee Elizabeth Bashaw turns 4!

The baby of the household turned 4 on May 31st. She was so excited to be the same age as Halli again! I can't believe my baby is getting so grown up! I get very few glimpses of her as a baby anymore. She has grown up so fast with 3 older siblings to show her the way!

Girl gets spoiled to death on her birthday!

IN A WEIRD SPOT

I feel like I have come to a point in my life where I don't really fit in. Kind of like when you are a Junior in high school. When you are a sophmore you are just glad to be in high school and about to earn some freedom by getting a drivers liscence. When you are a Senior you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. You are just a moment away from moving on to bigger and better things in life. When you are a Junior your excitement for high school is gone and you feel like it the end is nowhere in sight. I feel like a Junior again! I am no longer the young mom with little kids running around. Don't get me wrong, I love the freedom I have earned with my kids growing older and more independent! I have loved getting a full nights sleep for a while now! But I love babies so much and can't see myself without them. It is a little hard to think that I will never carry and give birth to a baby again. It is been really hard for me to face that reality. My kids are getting to the age where they truely believe they know it all and are smarter that me. I don't blame them, it feels like just yesterday I was thinking the same thing about my own parents. They don't really need me, they just want me to give in to their every demand.
I am having a hard time with what to wear lately too. Even though I still feel like I am 17, I can no longer pull off dressing like one. But man, the old lady clothes aren't too appealing either! Where do I stand? I don't know! All I know is that the days are flying by!

This Too Shall Pass (but maybe not anytime soon)

So me and Kris were getting a kick of how many jobs we have between the two of us right now. The total is 5! We decide to build a bigger nicer house right when Kris's job decides to do not so good. So to make up the money we haven't made for the last two years it is taking 4 more jobs to cover it. So now I am back to work working at Cantwells from 12 to 3 Mon thru Fri. Saturdays I work 8 to 2. I also donate plasma twice a week. Kris still works his regular at Cantwells and has added a 5 am newspaper route 2 mornings a week with Jaxon, and teaching computer applications at Steven Hennegar on Mon and Wed nights from 6 to 10. Needless to say we are both busier than ever! We get to see each other a little bit working together. Otherwise we kiss each other and head off to another job. Hopefully things will get better and we won't have to work ourselves to death to make it. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do! That is our motto this year.

Double Digits! A Decade!!!

I can't believe my baby girl is 10 today. At least I think she is mine. I did give birth to her, but she sure looks a lot like my little sister. I just found this picture of my sister Rhonda, and Shelby. I love it!!









Ten years ago I gave birth to this girl after 3 hours of labor and 2 pushes. The last ten years with her has been just as easy and pleasant. She is 5 in this picture.




She had a sleepover with two of her friends last weekend because her and her friend have the same birthday. So we have to coordinate parties.
You have got to love a ten year old girl!













Shelby does not enjoy a good chocolate cake like her mother. She decided on doughnuts and ice cream instead. So this was her version of a birthday cake this year.
