I am getting super excited, this week I am going to Little Shop Of Horrors with My Mandy, and Kelsey. Jordan is coming Saturday, and next week is Thanksgiving with Tina and her family. I am looking forward to the holidays for the first time in years!

Busy Busy

It seems I have gotten so busy I never have time to update my blog. Things are finally slowing down for a sec so I thought I would share a little. I am super excited about things coming up, one Jordan is coming down for Thanksgiving, Two we are getting family pictures while he is down, three I am having Thanksgiving at my house this year my my super Sis-in-law, and her cute little family.
I have finally got to a happy place in my life I have given up the fight of things that are not important and am re-discovering the things that are! I love my family, my kids and my husband are great I am really lucky! My Sister is awsome.. don't know how she does it and still has a smile! I am getting to know my step Mom Amanda and learning she really is a sweet person. I look forward to getting to know my other Siblings and there families a little more this holiday season.
For the first time in a long time I am excited to have the Holidays fast approaching!

Attitude Adjustment

I am in need of an attitude adjustment! I have been so mean and angry lately and I cannot get my attitude under control! I need more sleep, more money and less stress please, please serenity now!
Baahh I hope that this ends soon!

Slacker.. ME!

So I did the very thing I hate others to do and have not posted in about a month. My life seems so crazy and I thought with the kids back in school I would be able to get "control" again, but with two drill practices a day, games on Fridays, football practice three times a week, and Kayd's games on Saturday's I cant seem to even keep up on my house. This is all in addition to working 55-60 hours a week, cooking dinner, grocery shopping and paying bills. Whheeww I am exhausted!

So now that summer is over we will not get to see Jordan for a little while, he also plays football and cannot miss any games, He is trying to make a name for himself, trying to show them he deserves his spot on the JV team as starting QB! I am super proud of him and his determination and drive, he is a good boy and we are lucky to have him in our lives!

As a last minute trip we took the kids to Sand Hollow in ST George this last weekend we had a good time we went with some good friends, it was nice to share our vacation with them.

I still have one little puppy left to sell it has not been an easy task with the economy the way it is people are just not spending the money on new pets! She is super cute and may end up our new addition!
Today is Tony's birthday and we are going to dinner with our friends Tab and Dallin, they are taking us out.. How sweet. So Happy Birthday to you my sweet husband! I love you so much and hope that your day is full of happiness and I hope all of your dreams come true!

Our anniversary is coming up on the 29th and I cant believe it has been 12 years. It is so crazy, but I would not change it for the world I love him very much and cant imagine my life with out him!

Bllahhh

I am finally feeling better, not much but any counts I guess. After being sick for almost 5 days, not just sick, but in bed cant get out sick. I am back to the daily routine trying to get by and do it with a smile. I was going to watch my cute little nephew for my sister who is in Texas but I am not up to par and I am sad about that!
We have the parade today, Kelsey is in it with the drill team, and they are having a fundraiser tonight, Band Jam should be fun, food, music, family what more could you ask for?
Jordan, Veronica and Justice are here they got in late last night and we are super excited to spend some time with them.
Sorry for the blahh blog today just how I am feeling!

My baby

I have been struggling lately with Kelsey, being thirteen going on 25 is a hard place to be, and I do know that! Every day I see this sad little face with tears streaming down it and no way to stop her hurt. What is a Mom to do, I have tried to talk to her tried to tell her she is better than this and that boys are not worth all of this heart ache.
She had a "boyfriend" for about 6 months or so, Curtis, and he broke up with her last week, Breaking her little heart. Now I know how that feels I am no stranger to a teenage broken heart I had a few myself, mostly I gave them but once in a while I got one, now being an adult I see how silly it was, is, and want to help her avoid the pain.
Most people laugh at her, laugh it off like it doesn't matter, but to her it does, no matter how you feel about it, it matters to her. The worst thing that has happened to you is STILL the worst thing that has ever happened even if it seems silly to others.
I know this will pass and I guess this is part of growing up, but man I hate to watch her so sad!

SNNAAAKKE

So we went up the Canyon last night to roast hot dogs, and make smores. We were sitting around after we ate, and Kayden being the adventurous boy he is, went running up the mountain to see what he could see. Little did he know that would be a baby rattle snake, he managed to get past it without seeing it on the way up, but on the way back down, not so lucky. He stood at the top of the mountain, stiff as a board and scared to death. Tony went up to help him and they both got down without incident. We are very lucky! Kayden was pale as a ghost and crying, so sad!
