MARK'S ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's right you read it correctly,my brother Mark IS GETTING MARRIED!!!!
They haven't set a date yet, but the WHOLE family is super excited. I worked with Michelle the photography studio and the rest is history. They are so cute and very perfect for each other.
In other happenings, I am not working for the above said studio anymore :( I'm really sad about it but it just isn't the right time for me in my life right now. It was very difficult to find a babysitter and when I got to work I was so flustered by getting babysitter getting everything ready and worrying about the kids I was not able to give my best at work. It wasn't fair to them that I wasn't giving my all and that's NOT good enough for me. We also strongly believe that the main reason I got this job was to introduce Michelle and Mark. I love the people there and miss the friendships but it just isn't right timing. Maybe again someday I will be able to get into photography at the level I want to, but now isn't it.
HOLY CRAP NEWS!!!
On Saturday Max and I were sitting down watching a movie together during naptime, and out of the blue he asks very casually:
Max: "Mom, is this where babies come from" pointing to his bumb
after a brief silent scream and panic attack I casually answer back
Me: Well kind of, why do you ask
Max: Because a friend at school said there is a hole and that's where baby's come out. Is it the same place the poop comes out because that's just gross.
Me: well there is a special opening or hole where they come out it's separate from where your poop comes out.
We then went into a little more detail of correct anatomical names (which we have talked about before)then I asked if he had anymore questions he said no and that was that.
But to me it wasn't just that, it made me start to think of 10 million things and how to talk to them about sex and everything that goes with that. I'm SO NOT ready for my babies to be old enough to be talking about that. I do know we want to keep it open questions and casual sex talks and not over react (in front of them)so they will be comfortable coming to us about things like that BUT STILL HE'S ONLY 6! AHHHHHHHHHHH
On a lighter note:
I gave the R.S. lesson this Sunday. It was on Children From the November Ensign. It was a wonderful article. But I would like to share an article that was mentioned to my mom and she mentioned it to me. IT IS THE MOST AMAZING TALK I THINK I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!!! Whether you are a member or not please take a second to read it. HERE
It honestly will help you feel better about struggling with everyday battles with the kids.
We are also starting the process of fact finding process as we call it for a new house. I found the layout I think I like we know the area we want to live in but we are definitely taking our time. The biggest hurdle right now is deciding if we want to sell our house or keep it as a rental. We've done a lot and put Money into the house and in this market we aren't sure if we will get out of it what we put into it. That is the hurdle we need to clear next is that BIG decision - any advice on this topic is very welcome!
And that in a nut shell was our week ...

WE ARE BACK !!!!
I have to admit I'm pretty darn excited, we finally got the internet again. My goal was to have it sooner than this, but hey beggers can't be choosers right?!
Some things that are new with us...
Max is six and going to be starting baseball/ t ball soon. He's in Kindergarten and loving it, we have all day kindergarten and he is doing amazing! He is reading some simple books. We are SO proud of him.
Michaella just turned 5! I can't believe it already. She is in Pre-school for 4 hours everyday but Friday, of course she loves it and has made many friends and talks non-stop! We just recieved the packet in the mail to register her for kindergarten and I am still in awe how fast she has grown up.
Abbey and Rusty will be 4 this August and that KILLS ME!!! This fall Max will be in first grade, Michaella will be in all day kindergarten and Abbey and Rusty will be in pre-k from 9-1 mon- fri. I can't believe it's already here!
Ty is growing up so fast he's 19 months old. he talks like ther's no tomorrow.
We also have a new family member, her name is Daisy she is a 4 month old shi-tzu. She weighs 4.4lbs (4 oz less than what Rusty weighed when we came home from the hospital) she is really good and fits in well.
As far as everything else goes life is crazy as usual, we are holding on tight until Abbey and Rusty are in pre-k. They have really started giving me a run for our money since Michaella has gone to school. Man I thought it was hard when they were little but this is NUTS! They are ALWAYS getting into trouble.
Something new for us, Rusty is potty trained!!! WOOO HOOOOO
We haven't had only one in diapers since March 5th, 2007. The day before Michaella was born. I never realized how much time and money it took to change everybody. I sure am glad that that's done with.
We have started doing some spring things again and thinking and planning for summer, so far we are thinking hiking camping (I'd like to find places that are free), and lots and lots of playing. I have painted the kids rooms I will have to take some pictures and post them.
I'm so excited that I finally can start blogging again, more than anything this is my way of keeping a journal for our family sadly even though we have missed more than a year already butI can't think about that it just depresses me. So until next time ...

THE THINGS KIDS DO TO US ...
Maybe I can get on track again with updating my posts. I hope. Life as usual has been very busy for us, but man I am so glad to say that the snow is melting and we can go play outside again - even if it is only in the mud.
Recent Happeningswith us:
Max has started soccer again and doing much better this time around. We are thinking about letting Michaella have a go at soccer (this is going to interesting)
Abbey and Rusty are growing like WEEDS!!! They are talking non-stop it's so cute but it can also be tiring at times.
Talking about weeds ... Tyler is outgrowing the growing weeds. He is now 8 1/2 months old and out weights Abbey and Rusty ( although thats not a suprise) he's sitting Talking and has 2 teeth. He's almost crawling but if he ever wants anything his brothers and sisters get it to him before he knows he wants it. They are so loving and caring to him.
Mike and I are the same as usual. I recently have hurt my back I have 2 Slightly slipped disks and 3 Herniated. So I started going to physical therapy to get that under control and we found out that because of my most wonderfully beautiful amazing children ... I AM A MESS!!! My hips and pelvis are totally out of alignment and my muscles and ligaments are just hangin out in there :) As my therapist was doing the initial exam she was having a hard time trying NOT to laugh. As I was watching I started laughing and that didn't make anything easier. " You are certifiably a train wreck" she said. A total of 4 others heard that and started laughing as well. If you remember just 2 weeks before I delivered I was measuring 48 inches around and I'm a total of 4'10" which means that I was 10 inches taller than I was around. It makes sence I am such a mess.
Because of all that I had to quit my job at the gym, I wasn't able to complete all the duties of keeping that job. Infact at the same time I was offered a position as a Photographer with Taylor Made Images and Tot Shots Photography.
I AM BEYOND EXCITED !!!!!!!
My passion for photography has exploded and this give me the oppertunity to learn, grow and develop my talent ( well at least I've been told I have a talent, but I'm to nitpicky to see it for myself). I'm taking pictures for athletic teams, schools, River rafting, rodeos and family and senior Portraits. I AM LOVING IT !!! I have been thinking about starting my own business a lot lately, but that is most deffinately on the back burner for a good while. with this position have have the freedom and liberty of doing my own things as well as under the business. It truely is the perfect job and has always been such a passion of mine. And better yet it doesn't interfere with my back - well my back doesn't interfere with the job.
I will post some pictures soon, it's lunch time and duty calls!

What's new with the Wynder family? I got a new job, it's actually perfect for us. I work at PiNK fitness for women in the mornings. I just help people check in and assist in weight lifting stuff like that. The best part is it gets me up and I can workout while I am there And get paid for it. I love the atmosphere, the people and their attitudes just make my day. The classes are AWESOME and TOTALLY are kicking my butt. Monday I did a Body Shop body sculpting class and I WAS DIEING yesterday, today I can actually walk again. I work Tuesday and Wednesday Mornings from 5-9 Mike brings the kids to work and we switch cars and he goes to work and I go home. And I work every other Monday night from 4-7:30 which is great but at the sametime we are having to change Family HOme Evenings and we haven't found a day that works great yet.
Max is still loving school except this week he has spent the week at my parents house because everybody else is so sick
Michaella is in dance this rotation they are learning Ballet, she is SOOO cute and can't get enough of it. She is one of the Sickies and didn't go to dance this week and is SOOO bummed and askes me everyday when she can go again. I tell her when she is better she can go her immediate responce is " Ok, I'm better now lets go"
Abbey to no surprise is the sickest we are going in to the Dr. everyother day doing lots of suctioning and breathing treatments from home and go in today avoiding being admitted to the hospital again.
Rusty even though he is sick is still antagonizing and loving it. He just cries when I tell him to stop instead of laughing and running away.
Tyler has gotten this bug too, but luckly he isn't really bad, just some suctioning and extra TLC
EXCITING NEWS: Tyler turned 6 MONTHS on the 23rd, today we go in for his 6 mo. well check and we will FINALLY see how much he weighs. I'd love to put him in a new carseat he's SO heavy in the infant seat, but he's not quite ready to be forward facing yet - good thing I am working at a gym now :)
I'm hoping you don't get this sickness at your house. The kids have had high fevers sticking around 106.3 - 102.5 it's nasty and they have really bad cough causing vomiting. We have been disinfecting loke crazy every night. At least the kids love washing hands and watching movies that's about all we've been doing this week.
KEEP SAFE AND HEALTHY

WE ARE STILL ALIVE !!!
First I'd like to thank everyone who has been checking our blog, even though I haven't been updating. I know it has been over 3 months. Sorry for that, we disconnected the internet and cable thinking that it wouldn't be a big deal to go to a play place that has wi-fi and update but as you can tell that hasn't happened. I can promise you we can totally do without the TV that's easy! But I have come to the sad realization that I can hardly do without the internet. I do have it on my phone but that is very limited in the sense of updating a blog and things like that. So here is somewhat of an update to let you know we are still a live and I am going to be getting the internet today ! Thank you for checking up on us

The Last Month
Since It's been 1 month since I last posted I thought I'd do a picture update. Most are self explanatory, but for the birthday cakes we did cupcake cakes, My brother has had his motorcycle for over 1 year now and loves giving the kids a ride and Max made the first goal his first day of soccer! GO SHARKS !!!!!!
New news, This last week I was in the Hospital for 3 days due to my inscision being infected. I am now home and I am almost on bed rest - YEAH RIGHT - so we explained to the kids that I got in trouble for doing to much and I got grounded and put in a MAJOR time out. Michaella started dance lessons which I have no pictures for because I was in the hospital for her first lesson and Max's first day of school. The twins turned 2 I still can't believe they are 2! And the least of all I turned 28 holy cow! I can't believe I am 28, but I could not be happier!
And A HUGE thanks to all those that are actually reading this, you make me feel special and I will from now on try to update more than once a month. I know I said that last month too, but I hope you would understand. I thought I'd update while I was in the hospital but man wound care is a KILLER !!! oh and by the way I am allergic to penicillian and While in the hospital they gave me a cillian family member and I had an allergic reaction to that too. I started having problems breathing and ended up not breathing a few times and on oxygen - so that is why I didn't post from the hospital. I'd also like to give a special thanks to those family members and firends that have helped us through this difficult time. MOST OF ALL my mom who took ALL 5 KIDS BY HERSELF while I was in the hospital YOU ARE THE BEST MOM WE COULDN'T LOVE YOU MORE !!!!!!! Oh I am also doing an update on my blog address, some I have figured out i have the address wrong. COuld you please leave me a message or message me on facebook with your blog addresses PLEASE I miss keeping up with you too.
Enjoy the pictures, we sure do !!!
