We are losing two dear members of our household soon! Maybe as soon as this weekend. They have been with us from the day we moved to our home in clearfield. BUT for every family the time comes to move on and leave the past behind. I will not talk about all that you did for our family with our kids because lets face it they don't care! I have appreciated you though but lets face it I am glad t0 see the two of you go! You have served us well for many years you warmed our baths and your hot water cleaned our dishes. You kept our food nice and cold and our yummy ice cream frozen. You have to realize this is not personal but one of you run all the time you have a hole in your bottom and all your cold air escapes. I cringe at the power bill you are causing me. As for the other one you I REALLY wont be shedding any tears over. You run out of hot water half way through my shower. Just when I start shaving my legs you give up and blast me with ice cold water on my bottom! That totally defeats the whole shaving process! Yes I think I am a little angry because of this. So yes I will be replacing you with a new shiny stainless steel freezer on the bottom model and I will now have 10 gallons more hot water. But thanks for 8 great years!

PS....... No I have NOT lost my mind! lol

Another sunday another embarrassing moment!

NOTE: For those with children and who have been at the 1pm time at church will completely understand the following story!

So we are at the 1pm time slot this year in our ward. Well we got the kids ready and I offered ty a snack which he didn't want right then so we left for church. Well he was doing really good the first hour and a half and then right before sacrament I see the primary president coming toward me in sunday school with Ty in tow. Oh no what now! Well she hands him over to me and I asked what was wrong really hoping she would say he just had to go Potty. Now really in my gut I new that was not it. Well she begins to explain how he got tired and hungry and decided he was going to leave and come get me and Steven to go home RIGHT NOW! Well his teachers tried to stop him and wouldn't let him leave. Well he got very upset and began hitting and kicking them THEY ARE IN THEIR SEVENTIES! Here is my 3 year old BEATING UP little old ladies. OH MY GOSH I was soooooooo embarrassed . So then after class I had to go find his teachers and apologize. They were really nice about it. They told me he was really good till he got tired and hungry. Anyway by the time sacrament rolled around and Ty was running in and out getting drinks and the two other boys were giggling and had to pee at least 5 times each we were done. I grabbed my kids with 30 min left of sacrament and left. We will try this again next week and I am praying it will go better!

It is DONE!

Torri Bell Photography website has finally launched! I am so excited. This is truly my baby at this point. I have been working so long on getting myself online but it has been worth it.

I have expanded I will now be doing photo's In Garfield and Wayne counties and I will also be going to Tooele. I am also going to be doing a give a way soon so check www.torribellphotography.blogspot.com to find out when!

Oh how I need summer.

I was sitting at my computer going through my photo's wanting it to be spring. I have cabin fever. I want to walk outside with nothing but a light jacket. I want to feel the sun again. I want to plan a motorcycle trip. I want to go camping and sit by the lake for the afternoon. I want to watch the kids faces as their roasted marshmallow catches fire and they hurry to blow it out! I want to sit in the backyard all day on saturday and BBQ. I now believe winter is God's way of making appreciate the beauty of summer. Now don't get me wrong winter has defiantly got it's perks but we are now in that in-between time. When there is no snow for sledding but still to cold to go for the day and too muddy. SO for now I will just post some fun photo's of last summer while I wait for the time I can start posting our adventures of this summer.

New bed spread!

I got my new bedspread today!

I was so excited. I got it off of KingLinen.com. I love it. However it is dry clean only so we will see how nice it stays with my boys. I added a link so go ahead and check them out!

Oh yes I know my text is two different colors. It got messed up when I tried to change the text color on the link and well I don't know what happened. lol

Valentines Day!

So a few weeks ago I asked Steven which he would rather plan our anniversary or valentines day? Our anniversary is the 10th of feb. Well after putting the decision off for a week he finally decided to take our anniversary so that left me with valentines. Well it was a ton of fun. I booked reservations at Corbins for four and I invited my parents to come along since they were in town. Dinner was so much fun! Corbins is seriously my favorite restaurant it is so good and has such a great atmosphere. We had such a good time with my parents there. Well after dinner my parents went to my sisters house and Steven and I went home and watched Couples Retreat. The whole evening was to much fun. So I think my date night was a success! Now we will see what Steven has up his sleeve for our anniversary. Oh I should add this I moved our anniversary date night till the end of Fed. because it is so close to valentines day.

Hello all! It has been busy busy in our home the past few day's and will only get busier in the next! So here I am when I should be doing a million other things. Ty is doing really well! Now if we can just keep him that way and everyone else. Steven is working hard. I feel some days as if I don't know whether I am coming or going! As long as I always come home I am all right lol ! Big plans are underway for this weekend but more on that latter. Oh before I go I posted 2 new photo's below. Check them out and hopefully enjoy!

Ok here it is!

So the new project I have been working on! I am in the process of getting my web site up and going for my photography! So this past weekend I did some photo's and below if you scroll down is a few of the Hunt, Hampton and Torgerson familes. They are towards the bottom. So scroll on down and see!

Fun weekend!

Yesterday we went to my nieces baptism. It was really nice and fun to be around family. I have some seriously cute nieces. It is always fun to visit with family. I did some photo's of my nieces for my sis-in-laws and will post them when I get them edited. Well I gave Steven a choice a week or so ago. He either had to pick Valentines day or our Anniversary which is on the 10th and plan the whole evening. Well he picked Anniversary sooooo that leaves me with Valentines day. So I am looking for some great ideas. I like to stay in that weekend (hate crowds) so I will keep all posted on my findings.

Oh so tired!

Ok so if it could get worse it did yesterday! I had to go to Rachel's Parent teacher conference yesterday afternoon so my sister came to watch the boys while I was gone. Well we had no sooner finished and started looking at the book fair when my cell phone rings it is Christine "you need to come home right now, Slade is throwing up everywhere". AAAAAAAAAAAA I felt like screaming. Ty CAN NOT be around anyone sick his immune system is down right now. So I came home and have now spent the last day and a half trying to keep them apart. I was up all night between slade throwing up and Ty coughing. I feel like a walking zombie today. At some point today I am going to force myself to get dressed and go to the boys parent teacher conferences and maybe just maybe pick up the house! lol

Ok I feel better I have complained, felt sorry for myself and whined a little now I will get busy! lol

We are home!

We are finally home! Ty has spent the last couple of days in the hospital with pneumonia (yes I had to spell check that one lol). Let me tell you it SUCKS sleeping on the chair's in the hospital. You just doze off when respiratory therapy comes in or nurses so you are back awake. At one point I had fallen asleep and both my hands lost circulation and were numb. Well the nurse came in woke us up and asked if I could help her . My hands were NUMB! Now she is standing there waiting looking at me, at this point I was sleep deprived, in the same cloths as the day before and blind from the light she had just turned on! So what did I do I started laughing uncontrollably I am talking till there was tears in my eye's. Well she stands there staring like I have lost my mind. At this point she ask's "are you alright" which makes me laugh harder. I finally get out " I can't feel my hands"! After a few minutes they were down to just the tingling and we were done. He is doing better but we are quarantined to the house until further notice. Now the Dr had told me we couldn't take Ty out and to keep anyone away who has a cold or has had one recently away form him. However when you pick up your prescriptions and the pharmacist gives you a ten minute lecture on the effects of his medicine and what can happen if he is exposed it kinda make a knot in your stomach. We are home now and he is soooooo happy to be here. If he wont take his medicine all I have to say is "Well we will just go back to the hospital" oh boy he opens wide! lol

Above are photo's Ty took. He started getting sad and a little restless so I handed him my camera.

Long long nights!

I sit here and write this tired and with a headache. I spent most of last night up with Ty. Yesterday he started with a slight cough but by bed time it was quite bad. The only problem is it was a asthma cough so cough syrup didn't help. Then he ran a fever ALL night. Tylenol didn't help and he slept right next to me so I melted all night. We were up at least every hour. So now we both sit here yawning I however have to much to do to take a nap. Poor guy I hope it doesn't last long.
