ok so I've been a little out of blog mode lately. sorry. moving just put my routine all out of whack. it has been a busy 2 weeks. when we first got to Utah I was so lucky to go on a "crafty" girls trip with all of the Bullock girls and cousins. I had such a good time and it was such a nice break. sadly I didn't craft a thing, but I did read the new Stephenie Meyer Book (The Host) Loved it. it was almost as good as Twilight. I just needed more of her amazing romance. I love how she writes. and don't worry there is still romance in it, I just wanted more. but I still loved the book and would totally recommend it. I'm just trying to stay occupied until August 2 and if you don't know what the significance of that day is then there is seriously something wrong with you. I should also mention that I am also excited for August 3, that is Ryan's birthday.
and since I've been back from the girls trip, we have had a lot of fun cousin time. I love that my kids have cousins to play with. and they all get along so well. (at least for now, we'll see how we feel after a whole summer together)
this first picture is honestly one of my favorite parts of summer. on the warm summer nights all of the Bullocks (or who ever happens to be at the house) will go out side and play kick soccer. It's so fun for the adults and kids. and I mostly love to watch my kids play. they have such a blast. I love this picture. Ryan wanted to get a team picture with the game ball. so here's to team Bullock.
here's Tyson and his cousin Dirk waiting on base. Tyson looks like he might kill someone.cute Bailee playing and of course in a dress.
cousin Dirk waiting on base.
here is all of us watching a couple of left over fire works that Grandpa bullock found.
Here is Davis and His cousin Austin. they are 2 months apart. I think they look so much alike. and I think they look so much like my dad. they are so cute and will be such cute little buddies. by the way that isn't a snagle tooth, Davis is just eating some cereal.
Here is Davis with his other adorable cousin Livvy. I think they both have the cutest cheeks.
I'm so glad we took advantage of the warm weather. It was like 90 degrees for 2 days straight. but of course it's back to freezing cold rainy junk. but at least we got a few good days, and at least this time I know they will be back soon.
Here is just a cute picture of Davis smiling. he is the smiliest baby. it's so cute. even if he doesn't feel good we can still get him to smile.
and this last picture I just wanted to give Ryan some props for doing Bailee's hair the Sunday I was gone for craft weekend. I was pretty proud that he could pull off a pony tail and I think he was pretty proud of himself as well.

Bailee the entertainment.
ok so first I have to preface that Tyson and Davis also do really cute things, but for some reason Bailee has been doing a lot of funny things lately. I just wanted to write down a couple before I forget.
these first two were really embarrassing for me. I was at her school and one of the teachers was talking, and Bailee comes up to her and says "did you know you have yellow teeth, don't you know you are supposed to brush." I was so embarrassed and taken back that I didn't really know how to cover it up. I just told her that Bailee tells that to everyone. and I later had a talk with her how that would hurt feelings and you don't say that to someone.
the next one also deals with teeth. so you know how Bailee lost her tooth about a month ago. well she really thinks it's so cool and has been so excited about it. I was cutting a lady's hair who had lost a tooth and Bailee noticed(I hate that she is so observant, I think she just thought it was cool) so she kept insisting that the lady show her the missing tooth. and the lady didn't want to. it was so embarrassing again and again I didn't know what to do. and I think since she wouldn't show Bailee, Bailee kept making a bigger deal that she show her the tooth. it was just funny and embarrassing.
ok for the last one. So apparently if you dial 922, it is the same and calling 911. ya, the other day they all of a sudden called me on my cell phone to see if everything was all right. (they said it was the 911 back up line) so I got really mad at Bailee she started to cry (really she is afraid to call them because she thinks they will take her to the poilce station if it isn't an emergency)and said she dialed 922 just as a joke. well sure enough I looked it up on the history of my phone and it was 922. so FYI if you are every in an emergency and 911 is buys just call 922.

Cleaning and Packing
So this has been another crazy busy week. My sweet sweet mom came up to help me pack and clean, and I have put her to work. (What would we do with out moms?) We got the whole kitchen packed up and the whole basement packed cleaned organized and CONDENSED. I had to emphasize that because I was so proud of Ryan. He had SEVEN BOXES of life time memories, as opposed to my ONE!!!(and he thinks I live in the past) So I finally sat him down and made him go through them. I don't think you can tell how big it is but I was so proud of him, he got rid of all those shoes. There was like 20 or more pairs in there! FINALLY!!! And we condensed his 7 boxes into 3 which isn't too bad. I think we are just about packed. I just have the bathroom and our clothes to go.Above is just a picture of Ryan hanging out with the kids. I think this was after one of his finals and they were all just relaxing watching the Disney channel. I just thought it was cute so I took a quick picture.
Below is Davis, he is starting to get the hang of sitting and does a pretty good job about keeping his balance, but every once in a while he lets out an impulsive jerk and goes flying backwards, but he's getting there. (oh and that's a clean sock by the way)
I just wanted to show you Davis's cute hand sucking. I love that he does this. I'll just hear him in his room sucking away on his hand. sometimes it's his thumb sometimes it's his two fingers, it's just so adorable.Above is just a funny Bailee thing. I think I've posted before to show you how she has to lay her outfit out every night. (by the way I am so sick of that stupid black velvet skirt. She tries to wear it at least 3-4 times a week and thinks it goes with every shirt, it's so funny) anyways my mom went to go lay down and Bailee had picked out her outfit for her and laid it out as well, we all got a pretty big kick out of it. Bailee is so cute with her grandma. she loves it so much when she comes to visit. it was so cute, at church she was introducing her to everyone. and one night she wanted my mom to babysit her but Ryan and weren't planning on leaving, she started to bawl and begged us to go so she could get babysat. I heard her go cry down to my mom and say "Grandma my mom and dad won't leave" so it didn't take much convincing by my mom to get us out of the house. then I hear her whisper to my mom again, "thanks for getting them to go grandma."
ok just a few more funny kids stories before I go.
this isn't really funny, more like sad. poor Tyson has had some weird bug all week where he just keeps getting a fever. I took him to the doctor and they said it must just be a virus. but anyways he has not been feeling good. so when he was fevered he just started to cry and told me that he thought his brain had a fire in it. it was really sad. and made me feel even more bad for him when he described it. I think he is finally on the up swing and seems to be doing a lot better. I am just praying that Bailee and Davis didn't catch what he had. I do think Davis has an ear infection he keeps pulling at his ear, and he hasn't been sleeping very well. but he is still such a happy baby. he has a Doctors apt. on tuesday so I hope he can make it until then. we'll see.
ok now for the usually funny Bailee comments and conversations
(background) I did something (I don't remember what) that made Bailee really excited.....
Bailee.... "mom you are almost the best mom ever"
me "oh so who is the best mom ever"
Bailee (pointing to heaven) "Mary... you know, Jesus's mom" (ok I guess she can have that one)
we were driving in the car and Bailee was trying to show me a picture in the back seat,
Bailee " mom look back here quick"
Me " I can't if I look back we'll have an accident"
Bailee "why will you pee your pants if you look at my picture?"
and last of all this was just kind of cute. we were going to pick my mom up from the airport and it was kid of late so I told the kids to get a blanket for the car ride. Bailee came out with all 3 of her princess blankets.
me " Bailee you can only take one
Bailee " but mom if I just choose one the others will feel left out and I don't want to hurt their feelings."
anyways she is always keeping me laughing and on my toes.

Bailee's Recital
Bailee had her dance recital last night. she did such a good job and was so cute. I asked her what her favorite part was, it was that she got to wear make-up and when everyone clapped for her.
the picture above is kind of our day in a nut shell. the only thing missing is Bailee isn't mauling Davis as well. and that is just because she just got her lip stick on and is as pleased as punch.
and the picture below is to show that they still are sweet and love each other. Davis is getting so big. This week he learned how to scream. so now if he isn't getting the attention he needs he screams for us. it's cute.
these are kind-of Random, but this is Ryan and his buddy (Josh) they had a golf tournament last week. I'm not sure why they went because it was 40 degrees and snowing, but they had a lot of fun.
This is Bailee and Tyson playing hide and seek from Ryan, He wouldn't have seen them but he could hear their laughing. and yes Ryan has a ridiculous amount of shoes. I wish you could see them all. and their is still a huge box of them in the basement.
One more sort of funny thing I wanted to tell you that Tyson had been saying. Whenever Bailee wants to get him in trouble she will use his full name for example, "Mom, Tyson Dean Bullock spilled the water." so lately if Bailee is in trouble he will say Mom Bailee Dean Bullock spilled the water, or whatever. it's funny.
I think that's about it for now. sorry I have been kind of a blog slacker lately. I have been so busy with packing and doing last minute hair, that I feel like I have no time. We are so excited to be done with school and be back by family and friends, but this is also a little bitter sweet. We are really going to miss our good friends here in Spokane. This has been such a good experience for us and we feel like we have made some life long friends. It's always so hard to say good bye. Hopefully we will get the chance to come back and visit a few times, and I'm glad that everyone seems to have a connection to Utah. So all of you Spokane people better look us up if you are in Utah.

SOLD


So I know this is a little premature. and Ryan is going to kill me for possibly jinxing us. But we got an offer on our house and we accepted it. so if all goes well then WE SOLD OUR HOUSE!!!! what a blessing. I truly feel like our prayers have been answered. we were planning on signing up with a Realtor this week, and we are leaving for Utah in 3 weeks, so it would have been a nightmare to keep up with the payments and with the up-keep of the house while living in Utah. Now we can actually be excited to Graduate.

Davis is 5 months
so here is Davis at 5 months. I can't believe how fast he's grown. he has been such a sweet baby. He loves to chew on everything, and drool on everything as well. he's not rolling over yet. I think all of my kids have been a little slow when it comes to rolling, crawling or walking. so I don't expect him to anytime soon. especially sine he has a sister who holds him ANYTIME she
gets a chance. (anyone who told me that the novelty of a new baby would wear off was sorely mistaken)
I don't have any pictures. (sorry I need to be better about taking them) but we actually had a beautiful weekend. it was almost 7o degrees. we had a yard sale with an awesome turnout. I made a little over $300. I was so excited. I thought if I made at least $100 then it would have been worth it so I was ecstatic with $300. and now I am proud to say that my Disneyland trip is all saved up for. I think we are going to go in October.
we all got a little sunburn. but it was a nice sunburn, that just made me excited for the sun and summer. and of course it was a short lived sun. were back to rain. but I don't even care. it was such a nice weekend. it will at least get me through the week.
a few funny comments my kids have been making:
side note: my kids have been so obsessed with "bad guys" and what they will do to them if they try to "get" them.
so this is Bailee and Tyson's and my conversation yesterday
one more side note ( Bailee once asked if she was allergic to anything and I told her penicillin so she doesn't even know what it is, she just knows she's allergic to it)
Bailee: mom, what if a bad guy tries to give me penicillin?
me: they wouldn't
Bailee: well what if they forced me
me: I just don't think that would happen
Tyson: don't worry Bailee I would just bite them in the face (a little graphic I know)
Bailee: ya I would just put it in my mouth and run as fast as I could and then spit it out:
it's so funny Bailee loves the fact that she is allergic to penicillin, she is always telling her friends how she is and she can't take it. and she is always asking me what is going to happen if she has to take it. it just makes me laugh.

Funny kids
so I just wanted to take some pictures of the funny things my kids do. Every night Bailee has to pick out her out fit for the next day. (sometimes it's a couple of out fits) she told me this this was her "extra special" out fit because Grandma Sally was coming today. oh and it's on the blankets because this was the bed she made for Grandma Sally.
My mom was going to come and help me start to pack for Utah, but I ended up getting sick ( I think I have the stomach flu) so we decided to wait. mom don't feel bad, surprisingly she handled the news pretty well. this is the way she sleeps every night (backwards) I think so she can see into the hall better.
ok and this is funny, Tyson totally copies everything she does. so here is his lovely out fit that he picked out. and because I was sick today, he totally wore it.
and this is Ty sleeping backwards he doesn't know why he does it he just knows that his sister does.
ok and since I was sick today (did I mention that I was sick today) Ryan came home early from work (THANK YOU) it was so nice. anyways he made the kids lunch and Tyson wanted a peanut butter and pickle sandwich, (barf) and he totally ate the whole thing. Tyson is so funny, he is like the pickiest eater he truly won't eat anything but peanut butter, and then I'll all of the sudden I find him eating the grossest combinations. he will dip his peanut butter sandwich in ketchup and mustard and now pickles. I guess when all you eat is peanut butte than you better be flexible as to what can go with it.ok this is the trail by our house. these pictures just don't do it justice. it is truly so pretty. This is one thing from spokane that I will truly miss so much. (we went for a walk yesterday)
and last I just wanted to show you the kids rocking out to a little guitar hero. oh ya.
