Why I am like, so totally happy

So my mom and dad bought us a camera, how nice is that?!? It was a fathers day/late mothers day gift. I was so happy... now I can start posting some pictures.

I am getting a cell phone... just need to figure out what plan I need. YEAH!!!

JJ is FINALLY potty trained.... FOR SURE this time. He woke up one day wanting to wear underwear, he was sick of feeling icky in diapers. And BAM... that was it. THANK GOODNESS!

I am going to start teaching aerobics at the YMCA, I am going to certify this weekend and I've already started training. I am so excited to get paid to work out.

And the weather has been awesome this week.

Funny Phrases From my 3 Year Old

So I come walking out of my room ready to leave the house. I may or may not have washed my hair that day... I can't remember. But JJ looks at me and says....
"and why are you dressed like a muskrat?"

I just about died laughing!

Why I am slipping into a deep depression.....

okay... this might end up being a long post... I'm not sure yet... we'll see.
so basically I'm really not depressed... but I might be on the verge ;)

I am pretty much the worst blogger on the planet... no one will ever look at my blog again because it's been so long since I've posted, and let's face it, that's the funnest part is reading people's comments.. AM I RIGHT?!?!

My camera broke about 2 months ago... haven't gotten a new one yet. I'm getting anxiety over it because I've missed out on precious moments.

I don't have a cell phone... that would pretty much put anyone into a depressed state these days

My pants started to get tight about a month ago... I totally gained some weight from eating too many high calorie snacks... and a few too many over flowing bowls of cereal late at night.

and...
well okay, now I'm just trying to make up some more negative things.
REALLY things are going well.. pretty much. I just thought I would hurry and post something since I've been avoiding my blog for a few months now due to guilt and shame from not posting. Thanks to the friends and family that have been harassing me about my blog.... this post is for you guys!!!

Here's some guilt and shame for ya.....If you care about me at all, I will expect you to leave a comment, help me get motivated to blog again.

March in a Nutshell.....

Wow! The month of march just flew right by! Here's a few pictures of what we've been up to these last few weeks....

I went down to Utah a few times, thanks to a reuniting on facebook I was able to get together with some olf highschool friends that I haven't seen FOREVER. It was so fun to catch up.

I threw a baby shower for my best friend Kassidy. She is such a glowing and beautiful pregnant woman. I just love her! AND she just recently had her little boy last week.

Josh's sisters came to visit for a whole week. It was so fun to see their kids.

Josh's sister Gentry competed in the Miss Kimberly scholarship pageant. She's the one in orange. She did soooooo well, and she even won Miss Congeniality. You looked so pretty Gen!

My mother in law got this crazy idea to do tee-shirts to wear to the pageant. They say "Funky Bunch"

I tried to take a couple pics of the boys in their tee shirts. They were so excited to wear them.




We all went to Hop to It. All the kids had so much fun, and no one got hurt.... which is amazing. It was so fun to have all the neices and nephews here to play.

Worst Music Video Ever Made! MUST WATCH!

Okay... I know I haven't been posting things that are going on right now. But this video was just TOO FUNNY to not post on here! I was laughing so hard. Hope you like it. Watch it all the way through, there's an awesome crotch grab!

Modbe's New Swim Line Is HERE!!

I am so excited! I went down to the modbe fashion show this last weekend and got to see and try on all the new suits.
The fit is just awesome this year! I have a couple favorites so far, but there's no way I can decide. If you see a suit you LOVE and if you're interested in hosting a party or even doing a catalog party, when sell 5 suits you get yours FREE! It's awesome!
So I love them all, but after trying them on these are my three favorites...
The tie front, I just love the colors in this one, what can I say?

The knot top
This suit fits soooo good. I love the ruching on the sides, it makes it so flattering.

The Ruffle
I love the ruffles, they've changed a few things about this suit from last year, it fits even better. I love the pink and white, it's so cute in real life too.

You can shop online at my website www.modbeclothing.com/gillyfunk
Let me know what you think! I'm really really excited about them this year.

And update on Carter.... before I forget

I wanted to make sure I wrote a few things down about Carter lately. He has been so funny and I just don't want to forget some of the things he's doing now.

First: He has an obsession with plastic spoons. He keeps one in each hand and NEVER puts them down. He plays all day, eats, drinks, even sleeps with them. They are the first thing he grabs in his crib right when he wakes up. It's hillarious

He has started saying alot of words, my favorites are
Eyes- he loves to jab at your eye ball while he says it
stop- this has been a bitter sweet word. It's so funny to hear him say it. But at the same time, I realized this whole time I thought he loved me to chase him down and tickle him, but now all the sudden he keeps telling me to stop, now that he can say it. And this whole time I thought he liked it.
Milk, cheese, dance, car, nose, ears, "hop up jump in" (handy manny song" button, up, down.
I love hearing his sweet little voice.

He's also really into hitting me with a plastic golf club, which isn't always super funny. :(

And he is WAY good at jumping, he hops around the house all day. I think he got that from JJ.
I love my little C-Bob

Mom Jeans

Okay girls..... we need to make some kind of pact that we will NEVER wear pants like this!! I give anyone permission to punch me in the face if I ever do.
This is so funny!


My favorite line is,
"you're not a woman anymore.... you're a MOM!"

Carter's Hair

Carter has the most interesting hair. It's course on the bottom by his neck, and on top it's all thin and fine. Me and Josh were playing with it the other day. Here's a couple of the funniest styles we did.


We finally gave up and buzzed him.

Better late than never

My parents and brother came up to visit after Christmas. It was so fun to have them here, the kids had a blast. We had fun opening presents, watching movies and playing.
Some of their favorite things they got from Grandma and Grandpa,
JJ got a kids digital camera and a Zurg (the villan of toy story)
Carter loves his truck, his toy phone and blocks.

Ho Ho Ho It's Christmas, He He He it's Here, Ha Ha Ha it's Christmas, My Favorite time of Year!

Another Christmas, come and gone. We had a lot of fun celebrating with the Funk's.

Here are the boys

Josh got his NBA all league pass, so he can watch all his basketball games. ya!

Funk Family Weekend of Fun Minus the Fun

We decided to pack up the family and go to park city with some good friends. We got a smokin deal because we signed up to do the time share presentation. I had dreams of it being so much fun; eating out, swimming, playing in the snow, shopping at the outlets, and just hanging out with friends.
Well to be honest.... Iam going to sound like such a brat but.... It was HORRIBLE! Now that it's over it doesn't seem so bad, but when we were there all I wanted to do was come home. The weather was so bad, our rooms were SO small, JJ decided to throw the worst tantrums I have EVER seen. I felt so bad for the people next to us because JJ was up till after midnight screaming (and he has a loud voice) "I want my stripe bed!" and "My poo is coming!" and "This doesn't look like our house!"
I feel like we didn't even see our friends.

SO, we decided we would love to do it again, but without the kiddos. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids, they are great and make me smile everyday. They just didn't make things very fun.
I sound like such a brat. OH WELL. Just being honest.

Okay, I'll be positive now.... Gas was so cheap we had to take a picture And it's dropped a lot since then. It was a very economical trip.

I think the boys MIGHT have had fun. I'm not sure though.


The best part of the trip.... going home with two sleeping boys.

Today I learned......

That it's possible to go into Costco, get ONLY the 3 items you went in for, check out, and be back in your car in 16 minutes flat. That's with two kids!
Amazing don't ya think?

A little late on my Thanksgiving post

Thanksgiving weekend was so great this year. Here are some pictures of the festivities.

I love these girls, I consider them my sisters

We celebrated Josh's dad's 53 birthday!

We tried to take family pitures, as the family grows so does the amount of pictures you have to take..... and you still don't get a good one. Oh well, this is such a REAL picture

The Family!

I shot a gun for the first time, it was a Thanksgiving miracle I didn't shoot SOMEONE.... seriously!

The kids table before the feast

The pretty grown up table

The woman who makes it all possible. She is such a great partier!

What a fun weekend

This weekend was such a blast! Friday night it started off with the ultimate girls night, dinner (new york burrito) and a movie..... Twilight. I have been looking forward to this for quite some time. I even had a friend hook us up with tee shirts that had our favorite twilight quote or saying. The movie was good, it was entertaining, not quite everything I hoped for, but how can they include all your favorite parts of the book in the movie, it's nearly impossible. The night was great though, good friends, good laughs, and Edward on the big screen. It's a winning combination if you ask me.






Saturday I took the boys to the Holiday Festival, they got to see my favorite round, jolly man. JJ was seriously so excited. He couldn't wait to tell Santa he wanted a kitchen (which sadly he probably won't get) And then after we had to go back and tell Santa that he didn't want the kitchen, he actually wants Zurg (the villan of toy story) Should I be conerned that the only characters he wants lately are the "bad guys"

And Saturday night me and Josh got invited to go to the CSI men's bball tournament game. We took the boys with us and plenty of licorice to keep them entertained. After the game some of our friends who were hosting invited us to come have some pizza and cheesecake. Nothing like a meal at 9:30 at night! It was so fun though and we all had a good time, even the boys.
