Life is Great!!

Sometimes do you just sit and wonder what life would be like if you made a different choice. I think we all do that at least once in our lifetime(I might more than others). But then you see in futuristic movies that you can make a different choice and it totally makes the whole entire movie a different picture to watch. Is that something that I would like to jeapordize, I don't think so. I want to have my same bff's, I want my children to be who they are, I want to have my callings in life,and I wouldn't change anything about my family, they rock!!
Sometimes life can just be hard and sometimes you think what can happen next, but in all honesty it is all about how you handle it. This world is a crazy one, and there are so many things that can make or break you. I just have decided not to be broken.
There is a song I love and it pretty much says it all........

Never had an ordinary day
Never lived your life in an ordinary way
For everything you loved you paid a price
But you couldn’t let the world see you cry

Never had a moment of peace
Never felt the sunlight when the worries set you free
Every time your life turned a page
It seemed like your heart might break

With the world on your shoulders
When the nights had grown colder
You seemed to weather every storm
With a queen’s grace
I’m sure the angels stood in reverence as you prayed
How much can one heart take

It is so true, how much can one heart take, well apparently my heart is pretty strong and I think I can give one darn good transplant when I am gone from this earth. Can I just tell you that I love my testimony, that is the most wonderful thing a person can have. I think it is the band-aid on my ouchies(mama talk). I am not going to be broken!!

Ward Campout

I am a little late on writing about our Ward Campout!! But there is the funniest story that I couldn't keep to myself!! I have got to share this with you all. There were quite a few funny stories, but I will just tell this one. A group of people in the ward were gathered around and Cade was asked when his birthday was and how old he was, so he proceeded to tell that his birthday was 2007 and that he was 4 but he looks like he is 6!! I just about lost it, I was laughing so hard!! He is a character and his funny little playmate Paige is the exact amount of funnyness!!!They were cracking everyone up at Camp. This is a picture where they were told to do a cheer or something funny for the camera and Cade turns to Paige and says lets do the Cowboy, so they got there lasso's ready and turned in circles and did the cowboy!! I love little kids and there sense of humors!! It really make my day.



This was the gang of the Teenage Mutant Ninjas, with a litte dollop of Cami D.!! They had alot of fun, being crazy, sleeping out under the stars, and catching snakes!!

Now here are two perfect little girls playing and having a great time. They were the cool Second Graders!! They loved to be imaginative and having a good time.

And then there are the two trouble makers!! What a great friend I have, I am so lucky to be blessed with someone that I can laugh with, chill with (whenever, and I mean that), she understands me, she is there for me, and most of all the whole family is the perfect package!! I love them all. Thanks for being a Great friend!!

Is there a Dr. in the house!!!

Well now here is a story for ya!!! My wonderful, awesome, friends in the world who I could never live without......... The Betz Family!! They rock and boy do they know how to play a pranksta Joke!! The whole family came over last week, and Jess came inside and had the look of death on her face. She told me that there had been an accident and that it had to do with Conner. He was skateboarding and fell and broke his arm. And he was standing there with a broken arm and a bandage on his head. I was freaking out, I felt so bad for Conner. But he looked like he was dealing with the pain fairly well. Well then they proceeded to tell me that they took care of everything and got Conner all bandaged up and took him to the hospital and everything. Now holy cow I felt so bad that they had to take care of all that, and that they even took it upon themselves to deal with all of this(not knowing it was a joke yet, I was freaking out)But anyway, then Jess broke and had to tell me that this was not for real, she couldn't hold it in any longer, I would have kept believing seriously!!! She is so hilarious, and then after I found out the somewhat disappointing news that this was all a joke, I couldn't stop laughing about it, even later that night, I was just giggling!!! But the funny thing about being disappointing, I know this is going to sound terrible, but I have never had a kid that has had a broken an arm or leg and had to get a cast on. So I was kind of looking forward to signing a cast for my kid!!! Is that the stupidest thing ever, what terrible mom I am!!! Now I will probably jinks myself! Well anyway, it was a great prank and Conner played it very well, he even looked a little pale. It was a great prank Betz family, thanks for the Fun!!

Under the C's

My kids seriously live in the water. What a blast to have a pool!! The kids have so much fun and they do the funniest things, I think water really makes them crazy!! But I know one things is for sure it defintely wears them out, they sure sleep great when they have swam for the day. Conner and Colton thought it would be cool to put this fun Pool Party sign under the water and then , Conner thought it would be even more fun to go under water himself. I wonder if I ever thought of these crazy ideas when I was a kid, if you talk to my brother Brian, I am sure he would have something to say about that!!!
So if anyone wants to come over for a pool party, there is not much more swimming time left!!! Come on over and join in the crazy fun.

"My Missionaries"

Well this is the funniest story about Cade and his suit. When I was a kid , I remember this story like it was yesterday. But my little brother Stevie loved going to church and he would get so proud of wearing his light powdered blue suit. I have a pictue of him, so when I find it I will post it, it is just the best.
Well anyway, I don't know why but I have never got my boys a suit, probably because they were so expensive or something. But I went to the DI just recently and found this little suit that would fit Cade so I had to buy it, not to mention it was only $2.00. So when I brought it home, Cade just about had a heart attack. He wanted to wear that suit to Bed he was so excited. So when church came , I put that suit on him and his tie and he said where are my scriptures, so I had to get him his sriptures. And he was set, he was so happy and I just had to take a picture of him. And it totally reminded me of my little brother Stevie. And now Colton and Conner are mad because they never had a suit. I need to work on that one. But these are my boys but most importantly - My missionaries!!!

The Ben--inator Strikes again

The things to deal with, when you have a teenage daughter!
The other day their was a very cute boy that came to our door and asked if Caitlin was here, well is just so happened that Ben answered the door. And the story went something like this....... he answered the door and the kid asked for Caitlin and Ben asked him for his ID. The kid got a little nervous and pulled out his wallet and gave Ben his ID, then Ben politely said thanks and shut the door on him. Then he proceeded to take the ID and go downstairs where Cailtin was and asked Caitlin if he knew who this kid was, and she said yes, Why!!! Ben told Caitlin, oh nothing, it is not important. Then Ben came back upstairs and opened up the front door again and gave the kid his ID back and said thanks and you have a great day!! That was IT!! Holy cow I was so embarrassed, I couldn't believe he did that. But it was hilarious. Caitlin said later the next day, that the kid said, Man your dad is scary , I don't know if I want to come to your house again. And the funny thing is ever since Caitlin was born, Ben would always say, he is going to have to get a shotgun for when Caitlin starts enter into the dating scene. Well look honey all you have to do is ask for their ID and you will never see them again!!! Ha-Ha!!
