Hello world how you been? ...

Ok so I really sucked this up! Goodness I have the best intentions with our blog but man 3 kids is alot and when I have time to myself I want to sleep! So this gets left in the dark, or I look at it while I look at all of my friends and see how they are then I say I should write, but I don't I find something else to do ... clean, clean, oh maybe clean, I may cook, or sleep. Wow I know some of you are so not missing out!

So where in the world do I start??? The last post was 8 months ago, time flys no joke, and goes even faster when you have kids. So lets just start with this ...

June:
Let see here. I'll try to tell you how Cache was born, without boring you. The saturday before we went up to East Canyon to go fishing, hoping the drive would help move things along, I was at a 2 and 80% and I really wanted to have him on the 27th it was just a good time with our vacation coming up. So we did that and walked around with the girls and they got really bord of fishing like that cause face it when you aint catching it's no fun for 3 and 4 year olds. So we decieded to go to the fish farm and they girls love no like really love the fish farm. They ask if we can go all year. So we did that and i was having pressure and contractions but nothing too serious yet. So we decided to try castro oil - Note i do not recomment this it was GROSS!! I couldn't even finsh my milk shake, ug I still get the gag reflux when I think of it. So we just had a fun night in and settled in the ice cream and a movie with the girls, well I couldn't for the life of me get comphy, and I was in pain. I had to get up and move around, I was up at 2 3 4 5 6 and finally at 7 I couldn't take it anymore, we got everyone ready for church (it starts at 9) and I told brandon that I would see how i was doing after that, well it was just painful and we decided to go up to the hospital and just have a look cause my contractions were hurting. My brother and sis in law were speaking the their ward and my parents were to speak in theres later that day, so we dropped off the girls to my parents who went to hear them speak and told my mom and sis in law to come up after if the keep us. So we get there and get checked and they tell me i'm at a 4 and call my doc and he says to check me in. I'm so excited! So we get to our room around 11ish and start with the monitors and iv and things like that well I get to a 5 or 6 and ask for the epidural (very much heaven sent) and everything is going like clock work my doc was out on a hike in the mountains and came right from there to break my water and then he said he was going to go home and change etc, that was around 1 and come 3:30 they were getting me ready to have another baby! So excited! It was so easy too! They are like push and I do and push again and I do ( ok not that I have any idea why they say that cause I really don't know how to "push" or if I'm even doing it right I just kind of squint my eyes and act like I'm pushing!!) And then there he was our still un named boy! With lots of hair and as cute as a button! Well the name thing was kind of a big thing to us. I wanted Payson first and B wanted Cache first, and all in all i kind of really didn't care cause I love both names. So we got all done and then everyone left the room and it was just me and B and baby and Daddy was holding him and I told Brandon that he could choose the name, so we had a prayer with our boy and then Brand just started to cry and it was really an amazing experience, we both were filled with the spirit and brandon told him his name is Cache Brand Manscill. And we both cryed and hugged and kissed and then kissed our boy and spent a few more moments with him before we let everyone back in cause that is just how it was, they were all taking bets on what we would pick to Bran wrote his name on the white board and they all came back in to see what it was. And it was a really sweet moment. And now we have our super cute little boy who looks just like his daddy! And I love it! I loved seeing Brandon with our girls, and still do but I love seeing him with his boy! He is an amazing father! And he loves his babies so much! They really do change a boy into a man and then they have a very tender spot in his heart, My honey may look like he is tough and not nice but he is the gentalest man ever, kids really do soften them up. Love it!
Cache was born! Yahoo! He sure was a cute baby!








July:
Family Vacation to North Carolina; drove with my parents and 3 kids, and got there in 2 1/2 days, non stop! Brandon flew. Lucky. No serious it was so fun! I would do it in a heart beat again. The girls were awesome and Cache just slept, and we made some great memories. We celebrated my Grandparents 65th Wedding Anniversary and then also turned it into a family reunion, the last one was there 50th, been a long time. And we hit the beach( but not my proudest moments in a 2 peice after 3 weeks of having a baby, still look at the pictures and gag) And we got to see the country and it was amazing! I love driving and I just wish Brand could of drove with us, dang that owning your own business crap. Hopefully soon he will be able to do a drive with us and we can spend some more time in different states instead of driving threw and just stopping at gas stations and food resturants. But still so fun! And the girls loved swimming at the pool and playing in the ocean. And I loved seeing my family! Sure do miss them!






















I could add TONS of picts to this one but I won't, I'll wait for another day!!!

August:
Celebrated Hooper Tomatoe Days. The girls tryed out for Lil Miss Pink Tomatoe, Hadley got 1st Princess!!! She was a freaking cutie! Holy cow! ( Don't worry pictures will be at the bottom) And she just loved it! We even got new cowgirl clothes for it! And everyone told Brandon to watch out cause this is just the beginning! And trust me our future is looking scary with the bank account if she and Taylor keep this up!! Ha ha no just kidding we are excited for all that they are doing! And they have an amazing Daddy who will work his butt off to support them! Love that guy, just thought I would put a plug in there for my honey! Love you!! Lets see oh yes we also celebrated our 4 year anniversary, we didn't go anywhere just to dinner, and Brandon got me some really cute horseshoe earrings! He is amazing! We spent some time at the fish farm and doing family things like that!













September:
The girls both started pre-school, Hadley for the 2 time and Taylor for the first, thier Daddy cried! He is such a tender guy! So for 2 1/2 hours it's just me and cache time, or we are at the grocery store, it's no fun taking 3 even thou they do good, some of the time. The girls also started up dance, I love it, they are so good and learning to much. And Cache turned 3 months, and is growing so fast he can hold his head up and is sitting with support. Crazy how time flies. We also blessed Cache this month too! Brandon gave him a great blessing. And he was really excited too!









October:
Hunting season ... enough said. Dad gone for a couple of weekends, and nothing "cool" to "report" I was going to go but didn't cause I didn't have a sitter(my mom) to watch the kidos. And it's ok. It was fun to be home with them. I hung out at my parents which was just as fun and like a get away for me. We also celebrated Halloween, Hadley was a witch/nice one, Taylor was a nice devil(ha ha right) and Cache was my bear cub! He was pretty cute. They had fun trick or treating, and the trunk or treat was great it just finished down poring in time for it! And the girls had parties at school, it was fun! We also got school pictures taken from my moms school at the beginning of the month, they turned out pretty cute!








November:
Mowing season comes to an end and Christmas Lights go up. Meaning my honey is up on roofs making peoples home pretty! So exciting! And life risking! Oh my days are never dull! We had a fun time with Brandon's side of the family for Thanksgiving down in Orem. And we got ready for the holidays to start up. And ya ... doing all this from memory and it's kind of hard. Brandon also got into an accident this month too!!! Don't worry it wasn't his fault and he is ok(remember this for march)

(Ok I don't have any pictures of this stuff, I can't find any right now but just know we did eat turkey!!!)

December:
Happy 26th Birthday Honey! Wow amazing! We have been together 6 years! We went on our first date on the 3rd and pretty much have been together since! Don't know what I would do without this guy! Worthy to take me to the temple every month and to hold the preisthood and to have an amazing calling as the 2nd coun. in Elders Quorm. And still loves me and wants to be with me! That is amazing cause sometimes I can be .... well like me!!! I love you Babe and I can't imagine life without you in it!
The girls also put on a Christmas program at school, it was so cute and they still sing the songs. And I rode front runner for the first time with the YW to see the lights at Temple Square, that just really sets the mood for the season if you ask me.

Merry Christmas! What in the world was up with the pillow pet crave this year?!?!? Oh well my girls each got one! Hadley got the unicorn she wanted and Taylor got the Bumble Bee. They love them. They also got new boots and leapsters!( best money ever spent) They had a great Christmas! Cache got lots of clothes, he was more interested in eating the paper than anything!! Brandon said I got spoiled, and in a way I did! Hey sometimes Mommies go without for lots of things and sometimes we deserve it! And Brandon got some pretty awesome things too! My parents also gave each of us 4 kids video cameras that have the option of taking pictures on it as well! I love mine! It's so amazing! They really are the best and my mom started to cry when she was telling us why they got them for us. Love my parents they are totally amazing! Don't know what I would do without them! My mom is so funny she says that Brandon is one of the hardest people to shop for, which he is sometimes, but she's like but when I find a "theme" for him it's so fun and I find so much for him! She is funny! We of course did cookies and my mom and hadley made a gingerbread house, taylor fell asleep at the table waiting to start. But me and her made one the next day! And the girls were spoiled by all the grandparents, we have amazing families that love us so much! Truely blessed beyond belief!













January:
New Years was so fun! Brandon and I went to Bull Wars before the ball dropped with his Dad and his date, it was fun I love getting all Cowgirled Up! We looked pretty hot. Then we went down to my brothers house to bring in the new year!!! It was fun! I celebrated my 26th Birthday!!! Wow really?!?! Can I be this old??? We didn't really do too much to celebrate just dinner and cake and presents!! I'm still in the YW's program as the 2nd Counslor and we do a thing called "Winter Camp" which is just a fun way to say sleep over and play time mixed with a bit of Personal Progress. We went down to our Pres. Cabin in Manti and it was a blast!!! We went snowmobiling and had good food and even planned some fun activities for the year and even had special spritual time too! We have amazing YW in our ward they are so strong, I don't think I was ever that strong when I was thier age or even had a testimony like they do. Sure are an amazing generation. We also celebrated my Daddy's Birthday! Love him lots! Amazing man right there! And loved me and my family like nothing else! Oh and big news!! My brother and my sister in law had there sweet lil baby Addison Kate too!!!! Oh man she is tiny! And cute! They are the cutest new parents! They moved into there new house last year.

Febuary:
(Almost caught up, good cause my brain is almost fried!) Happy Lovers Month!! That is what I texted Brandon on night, and he texted back what does that mean?! Really? Gees some guys! He's totally not thinking like me ... TMI??? But lets see here, Happy Birthday Nater Tater!!! Happy Birthday Heidi!!!! Happy Birthday Adam!!!!! Is that all .... yes it is. The first like 6 months of the year are full of birthdays!! Love it! I also LOVE valentines day! I have so many decorations that I forget what I have!!! Love decorating the house for each hoilday! The girls had a tea party with there friends and bubba is still the only boy!! Bubba is Cache's nickname. I love it and he responds to it, but when you say his real name he gets this big ol smile on his face!! So stinkin cute! Love that boy! The girls are great sisters to him and love him lots! Wow I haven't talked much about the kids, they grow so stinkin fast it's hard to keep up. The girls are awesome and learning lots! Wow so love pre-school they are so smart! And they love going! They are also doing amazing in dance! I can't wait for the recital! It will be busy but fun!!! I love my girls, even if I don't get to do there hair the way I want and you only see them in pony tails, sorry but they both have lots and I don't think I will ever cut it! I'm afraid it won't grow back!!! I do trim it and they get there bangs cut, only by my mom ( again too scared and not the best at cutting just look at my honeys hair, I cut his too) and bubba is tryin to catch up to his sisters! he's eating food, baby food, and sits like a star! He taught himself how to sit up from laying down this month! Crazy! and he just rolls all over! Not excited for the next step... crawling. He already rolls everywhere! And then he gets stuck and cries! It's kind of funny! And he loves to play with his sisters, he likes to sit in thier room with them or in the front room and just be around them. He also says Dada. he is in love with his Daddy! Such a fan! Don't get me wrong he loves his mamma, who does't?? But when Daddy walks in he is the only thing he follows and gets a big ol grin and so excited to see him! Love it. This next year is going to be so fun, he will have such a shadow at his feet! Can't wait. The girls are the same way! ( How did I get blessed to have such an amazing husband whose kids love him so much? They want to be with him all the time and always ask where his is if he is gone. Love it) Lets see here, we made our valentines breakfast too, love pink pancake hearts. And spent time with the honey! During the winter months he works a grave shift to keep busy and out of my hair!! So he's home during the day well half of it and then goes into work. it's not too bad and he likes it, it keeps his mind going for business, he comes home and tells me all these ideas he has and we run from there! So if you see us during these months (jan Feb and March) that maybe why we look like we are crazy cause we are for one but we are getting ready to start up a new season! ( If you need some yard work give us a call! GrassBusters Yard Care! 801-710-2433, tell him Lindsey sent you and you may get a discount!!!;) Or that you saw it on our blog!!!) Anywho, like that I so just thought of that on my own! Yep I'm pretty business smart too!!! No not really, anyways.... That seems to me like feb.
