Gemma is 8 weeks

The day this was taken Gemma turned 8 weeks old! She is finally smiling at us pretty easily and I just love her to death! She is sleeping 6 hours consistently too! I am loving this little girl!

I honestly think this is the 1st family picture we have had in 4 years. Thats pretty sad. The next step is to have a professional take one!

Warning......picture overload!!!

GemmaShe has been smiling so much lately, but wont do it for the camera yet!



Porter loves Gemma & is so much help, he has gotten her to sleep for me several times! Marli on the other hand......







me and my sisters after Gemmas blessing

Gemma's Blessing day

The guys in the blessing circle said she was wide awake looking at everyone! Todd gave a sweet blessing. Im so lucky to have such a good husband.

Halloween At Grandma Bischoff's

Halloween was rough on Todd. He needed a nap.

Porter turned six! We set up a pinata in our unfinished basement & the kids loved it!

He wouldnt wear the huge birthday pin to school...I dont know why not?I thought it was cool

This girl is a terror right now! She took some scizzors to her bangs last week. Good thing she is so cute!

I love this picture! He always falls asleep with his teddy bear!!

Gemma Jade Bischoff

She came on Wednesday September 23rd, pretty quickly and easily!! We didnt have to wait too long! She ended up being 2 weeks and 2 days early, and everything went so good. We have loved having a baby around and she is so sweet. Also it's our 8th wedding anniversary tomorrow!

My sister Brynne came to take some pictures of Gemma, I took some with my piece of crap camera. But she did look cute! Ill post more of what Brynne did when she is done with them!!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAMI DEAR

THIS IS MY GOOD FRIEND TAMI! SHE IS ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS FROM HIGH SCHOOL. IM SO GLAD TO HAVE HER AS A FRIEND AND THAT WE LIVE CLOSE ENOUGH TO SEE EACHOTHER. I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD DAY!

have you seen Becky's butt???

So this is really random that I decided to post this, after like what 3 months, but have any of you heard that Radio add, type thing. It starts off some girl saying, " oh my gosh have you guys seen Becky's butt?" We'll just about 2 minutes ago, while I was in my own world, I heard Porter say, "have you seen Becky's butt?" (then he laughs) I say POOOORTER. (Thinking he is talking about Becky, my cousins butt) then he finishes the commercial and says, "IT LOOKS SO GOOD!" If any of you have heard this on the radio, it then goes on to say her butt looks good because of the Laguana Beach jeans she is wearing..... Did I have any idea Porter was even paying the teeniest attention to the radio? No.......BUT NOW I DO!!!! Really, This kid will do ANYTHING to get a laugh.....Yes I am very nervous for highschool.

SAW IT...................

LOVED IT!!!!!

Seriously, maybe I should be back in highschool with the majority of the girls that were in the theatre, but I cant stop thinking about this movie. Im not too picky when it comes to movies, so maybe thats why I loved it so much, but it was just how I thought it should be! EDWARD was PERFECT! If only he could be real.........anybody need a movie buddy....Ill go again.

So far this month......

We celebrated our 7th Anniversarywe are still WAITING for HAlloween!!!
Porter had his 5th birthday!!
Does anyone else see the resemblence......this is how Porter will look in 40 years!

I am loving age 5! 2, 3, and 4 were real interesting, but so far, so good! He has turned into this sweet, funny kid, who will do anything to get a laugh out of ANYONE!! Im so glad I get to be his mom and hang out with him!

We Love Halloween

I am lucky my kids like Halloween as much as I do. They went to the dentist yesterday and I told them if they were good, they could pick a prize at the store. This is what they chose, and really they had a huge choice, all of walmart. Halloween always has some nasty, funny stuff at Halloween time! This one almost made me gag though! Porter thought it was hilarious. He wants to take it to preschool for show and tell. Probably not.

GRASS AND PAINT!!!

My sister Megan asked if she could have my kids for a couple days for a sleepover, and I was so nice and told her yes....during this time without kids, I really wasnt sure what to do with myself! So my mother in law said to start a project, and I did just that. I started in Marli's room, I bought the paint and really wasnt sure what my plan was at this point. Im still not sure what made me decide to try the stripes. I really like them and so do my kids, but they take A LONG time! Yes, I realize the date on the pictures is wrong. My camera dies so often that I dont care enough to reset the date every picture.....so sorry.....
Todd also finished the yard while the kids were gone! It is the best thing ever to finally have grass! We had a lot of guys from our ward show up to help and so did some of Todds brothers! Thanks guys.
This is my walmart deal! Im loving it!
Front yard
Back yard
Porter also wanted stripes after I said Marli's walls were striped, I just made his way thicker and only on one wall, instead of two! I loved the turnout! Now I need to find some cute bedding for both of their rooms!
Im so glad for these blogs! My mom and her side of the family pretty much never make it down our way, so we're happy they can see our house and things were doing this way!

HaPpY bIrThDaY tO yOu!!!

Kathryn Phelps Curtis---a very good friend of mine! We have had way to many great memories together! I cant even start!!!!Let me just name somethings that only a few will get! Slick 50, snorting cocaine(not me) getting kicked out of girls camp(was that just me), wart, choking on strawberries, raiding your moms food storage, becky blowing out your match, skinny dipping, and lastly the annoying beeping sound at 6 am!! You are such a good friend!!! Hope you have a great day!We had a little sleepover not too long ago at Katies house, these are some pictures of us before we stuffed our faces with cheese fries!!Many of you already know my friend\cousin, Becky who lives in California, just found out she is expecting twins!!! And probably BOYS!!!! I am so excited for her!

Fun at the Girls home!

We stayed a night up at the "Girls Home" in Mantua. We had a dodge ball tournement, made smores, did the slip n slide, and watched movies till late! It was fun! Thanks Kenny and Mary Ellen for inviting us! Ashton and Dalton hanging out where it was cool, by the big old fan!
This slip n slide was the best thing ever! The kids loved it and so did I! I did my first slide head first and landed in the pile of mud at the end! Chad followed me later on and had some fun in the mud too!
Can you "GUESS THE BISCHOFF?" It will be tricky, they all like to take naps, where ever they are, this person was asleep when I took the picture......Look closely......who is it???Those are some nice abs!!!!!

last month.....

We had a busy month of August.. I finished up the summer classes at the peak, teaching gymnastics(dont laugh) The kids were so fun! I usually get really sick of them after a few months, but I was kinda sad to see them go. I teach six classes, we forget the picture of one class! I really like the Peak. My kids will go to preschool there this fall. I am there only 6 hours a week and I really like it.


These boys were wild. Thats all I can say.

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!!

Thanks to Lisa, I got my book today! It's so big, I cant wait to start reading! We ordered our books off Amazon just a few days ago, and we got them today! Perfect timing! I so so so so hope for the ending that I want! I will be so ticked if Bella ends up with Jacob! I am a total Edward fan! Ive got to read it before the ending leaks out......
