School Again

2010-01-11T07:33:00.001-08:00

I can’t believe I am going to go to school again, I feel like a little kid again with a back pack and school books!!! Well I am so excited it is going to be great. I am going to try to accomplish Nursing School, I have always been so interested in helping people and making boo boo’s go away! So we will see.

The funny things that happen to you when you are OLD!!!

2009-01-12T09:12:00.001-08:00

Well I am forced to blog today since I am laying in bed!!!! What a DORK I am for thinking that I can be athletic!!! Well, here is the story in my own words......ha ha. There is the wonderful group of friends that play this so called Ultimate Frisbee (how hard can it be to play Frisbee), well please don't forget the title UTTIMATE Frisbee!!!! So anyway I head on down to the high school and bring Conner and his friend and they are pumped and they are also athletic and 15years old. So anyway we get there and the main man Captain K is passing out jerseys hello we are now going pro!!! I am still thinking to myself how hard is this to pass a frisbee. Oh for the love that is all holy!!!! The game has started and I am dying, don't get me wrong it was so fun , but everytime I ran up and down the field I felt like I was leaving my legs back at the 20 yard line!!! Oh what a fun time this was until I really did wish that I had left my legs back at the 20 yard line! I was getting into position (doesn't that sound professional) and all of a sudden I turned and heard this amazing pop in my hip, at first I thought I was breaking in half, and then second I thought what the crap did I just doing to my body, thinking I can be out here playing with all these athletic people that I hated at that moment so much because they were still playing and I wasn't!!!So anyway I tried to walk it out, but where did I think it was going to go, ha ha ha ha!! So anyway my personal Dr. just happened to be there on site!!! And she helped me relieve some of the pain, thanks Cami. D!!!! And then the next morning, well what do you know , still in pain so I went to the hospital to take x-rays and make sure I didn't damage more than I thought of my elderly body! And the Dr. said I tore my hip flexor muscle and it just needs time to heal, that is it!!! Man I was so relieved, I really thought I needed a hip replacement or something!! So anyway I have to give it some time and take these crappy pain meds and I should be up and playing Ultimate Frisbee in no time!!! Yah right! And for all of you that are wondering what is this game that I speak of , it is just like playing football but using a frisbee instead of a football, and once you catch the frisbee it is like freeze tag you can't go anywhere until you throw the frisbee. It is so fun you should all try it before you get to my age!!!! Ha-Ha

Happy New Year!

2009-01-02T09:18:00.001-08:00

Well if Shannon doesn't post new blogs at least she'll have updated backgrounds from me! :)

If she were to write on here today I'm sure she'd say Happy New Year! :)

Sneaking...

2008-11-12T09:56:00.000-08:00

Well since I changed Shannon's background I thought I'd sneak in and make a quick little post her since she never does.

Since her last post (over 5 months ag0) ...school has started again and ALL of her kids are in scool this year. (tear!). Her family has enjoyed little weekend vacations camping, treking and just enjoying family time.

Shannon is as busy as can be (of course) being the fantastic wife, mother of 5, main Shark at the school (receptionist), PTO President, Volleyball coach, Primary Teacher, Taxi, Super friend and Server at the cutest cafe around. Ya she's pretty busy...thus the lack of blogging right Shannon? :)

And we don't want to forget... HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY on Sunday November 16th! We love you Shannon and are glad you were born!

Relaxing Summer Time

2008-05-19T21:17:00.000-07:00

I know summertime is usually a stressful time, because your usually home with your kids plus you have automatically adopted some extra kids for 2 months and then they go back to live with their real families. But I am so excited to stay home with my kids and even the extras this summer. I don't know if it is because I have been working and am looking forward to time off, or if it is because I really miss hanging out with my kids!! I can't wait till I have uninterupted time with them. And I really can't wait to hang out at the beach this summer with them. That is my chair and my umbrella where I will be sitting pretty much for 10 hours a day! I just need a bellhop boy to bring me my cherry limeade from sonic and string cheese to my side table there and I will be in heaven. Well I hope all of you enjoy your summer as much as I will!! And talking about Summer Time Vacation, I will be voting on what the best summertime vacation is, the one that I would love to go on, so hurry and send me your summertime plans and I will vote and the winner will receive a summertime survival kit!!! I am not telling you what it is so don't ask! Hurry and get your plans in!!

Cade Did It!!

2008-05-15T20:39:00.001-07:00

Well Cade Graduated from Preschool today! He was having a hard time, I don't know if he was being shy or what, so he didn't walk as they would call it, he stood behind the stage and cried. That is just not like him, but Ms. Nikkii went ahead with out him and he still got his diploma. He has learned so much from her and being in her class. He has also made some really great friends. His favorite buddies are Taden and Paige. Taden and Cade are already planning their first sleep over, they are the youngers in the family so they don't understand why they can't have one yet. But when they do I'm telling ya, they are probably going to stay up all night because they are going to be so excited!! It is so wonderful that they can make friends at this age and have such a good time with each other. What a wonderful day it was for Cade and all his preschool friends to graduate together. When Ms. Nikkii was reading their little spot lights of each kid, she came to Cade's and she asked him who he wanted to be when he grew up and he said Tony Hawk, Cade really thinks he is going to be this pro-skater and it cracks me up. Thanks Colton and Conner for doing that to your little brother. But anyway it was a great day and a big thank you to Ms. Nikkii and all her creative work and time with our kids. It really paid off that is for sure.

Running for the Border!!!

2008-05-07T22:06:00.000-07:00

Hilarious Story, I have to share. I was walking home today , and it was kind of far from home. And I didn't have a ride so I called Conner and asked if he could meet me and walk home with me, so I don't have to be alone. I am so afraid of being attacked by a dog, so what do I do call my kids and have them be my safety net and hello put there life in danger in case a dog comes along!! I am not a very smart mom sometimes. Anyway back to my story, so I call Conner and he totally comes to walk with me and we decide it would be faster if we hop over the wall to our backyard. Well two things one I haven't hopped over a wall in about 15 years and two I am wearing a skirt. So lets figure this out here. Conner suggested that he would help me over the wall, and this is where I started to laugh out loud! Well then I said maybe you could hop over the wall first and go get me a pair of shorts and then I will put those on and make my wall hopping a little more modest. So he got me a pair of shorts alright, hello Ben's shorts! I was laughing even harder at this point. So anyway I put them on and then here is the real challenge of trying to get my big booty over this wall. I felt so illegal!! But anyway Conner helped me over detail by detail of where my legs were supposed to go and where my hands were supposed to go and before you know it I was over the wall in approximately 10 min. That was pretty good and I didn't even get a scratch or anything. Conner was my hero and he didn't even laugh at me, thanks Conner for helping me cross the border!!! All in all I don't know if I really saved time by hopping the fence that took so long or just walking all the way around! But hopping the fence was a little more living on the edge I do have to say!!

Camryn's Special Day

2008-04-19T12:50:00.000-07:00

What a wonderful day it was today!!! Camryn got baptized and she was so excited. She looked so pretty and was so happy that everyone came to be with her on her special day. She had her Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and special Friends!It was a fun day for her and I am so happy that she wanted to get baptized. I love you Camryn and I am so proud of you, and so is your Heavenly Father.

I know close your mouths!

2008-02-24T21:27:00.000-08:00

Yes I am making a blog! I have so many good people around me and so many fun laughs to not share them. First of all we took a little trip up north this weekand and it was the fun of all funs! I have pictures coming so be patient with me. Me, Ben and our kids, Brian and Dorothy and their kids and Cami and Jera were all there and we had a good time learning how to jump for a picture, swimming in a nice heated pool when it is snowing outside, and having an awesome snowball fight- but I don't like Conner's snowballs they hurt!! Well it was Conner and Caitlin's first time snowboarding and they are stinkin naturals, I admire people that can just do things the first time and just do it!! I just think I want to be able to try things once and be good at it, but it is so hard!!! (hello wakeboarding!) But the kids had such a good time, but they are so soar today. And Cade thinks that he needs to learn how to snowboard when he is 6. He was so bummed that he didn't get to learn and go out there with Conner and Colton. Maybe someday Cade, it can happen, as soon as you can not cry because you are in the snow for more than an hour! It was so funny when we were coming home Cade said that he had an Ear Confection, you know how your ears pop and we adults don't even think about it we just yawn, chew gum or do like I do and plug my nose and blow out my eardrum (I know that's bad!!) But anyway Cade was freaking out and he couldn't yawn and the chewing of the gum wasn't working either. So we told him to take a nap and that it would go away, but he didn't seem to buy that. But anyway he just kept saying that his ear confection isn't going away, we were cracking up so hard. His ears finally popped and then he was happy! Then we got to visit our cousins, The Jones's! What an awesome family and they are always so welcoming. What a great time , with great people! Thanks for the fun! Well I have more to blog about but a different subject, so stay tuned!!

Camryn's Favorite T.V. Channel

2007-11-04T21:05:00.000-08:00

Well this was quite depressing but kind of funny too!! This morning I was getting ready for church and Camryn came and sat down waiting patiently for me to do her hair. She preceeded to tell me that I was going to be her favorite channel in two weeks, and I asked her what she meant by that, and she said that my birthday is coming up in two weeks and that I am turning 37 , her favorite T.V. Channel (Nickelodeon). I was laughing so hard. I said you are right I am going to be 37 and this will be a magic Nickelodeon of a Birthday!!! That means that I need to have Spongebob plates, and Drake and Josh Balloons, and Jimmy Neutron goodie bags. It's all about Channel 37, so hang on people its going to be rockin!!

The Beginning of Sponge Town

2007-10-28T10:47:00.000-07:00

Well yes I am finally updating you all on my crazy , wonderful and full of excitment of a life!!! I just want to tell you no matter what goes on in your life, it all depends on who you have around you in your life that makes it all worth while!!!
I think I have the best people in my life, they are all meant to be. I live in this neighborhood that I can't even explain - we have so much fun, and kids have so much fun. They have this little retention area that they play in all day and everyday. They have so much fun with the whole neighbor gang and the funny thing is that they named it.........."Sponge Town". We are going to have a little(which will probably turn out to be big!) block party on Friday and we are going to block off the street, bring out the fire pit, eat tons of food, and enjoy our laughing guts!!! I can't wait it is what life is all about! Every day after school the kids go to sponge town and play for a couple of hours and then we call them in and clean them up, they have never taken so many baths since we have moved into this neighborhood, I love it!! And then they do the same thing all over again the next day. They never get tired of it or the kiddos! They get along so well with each other. The other day Cade decided to go to Sponge Town in an orange shirt, cowboy boots, a purple pimp hat(halloween costume), and blue shorts, he was ready and didn't care about what he looked like! It was the funniest thing ever. I am so glad for sponge town , my kid's friends, and my neighborhood!

Shark Attack Week

2007-10-02T08:10:00.000-07:00

This week at the kid's school is Shark Attack Week!! It is so fun for them, I will add some pictures later, but they had Hammerhead Hawaiian Day, Today is Dolphin Doo's for crazy hair day, tomorrow is Fish Friends Day for Twin Day, and tomorrow is Silly Starfish Sock Day, and then Friday is Shark Spirit Day where you wear the school colors!!! The kids really enjoy being crazy and having a good time. Conner left the house this morning with a mohawk and it was probably 4 different colors. And the funny thing is, is that he didn't even care what he looked like! We also have a shark spirit store at school and they are selling, water bottles, shark tooth necklaces, shark stuffed animals and things like that. It is so cool to be Chaparral Sharks, what a cool mascot. Sharks Rule, even though they scare me to death!!

Life is Great!!

2007-09-30T22:12:00.001-07:00

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

2007-09-17T08:35:00.000-07:00

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!!!

2007-09-17T08:21:00.001-07:00

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

2007-09-10T20:11:00.000-07:00

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"

2007-09-04T06:56:00.000-07:00

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

2007-09-02T12:51:00.000-07:00

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!!

Too Much Fun!

1/2 small lemon.......2 tbsp. crushed lemon drop candies..........1 tbsp. sugar......1 quart vanilla ice cream........1 1/2 cups lemondade..... Rub the rim of your serving glass/cup with one lemon slice. In a shallow dish combine crushed lemon drops and sugar; dip glass/cup rims in mixture, set aside. In a blender combine ice cream and lemonade. Cover and blend until smooth. Pour ice cream mixtures into glass/cup. Top with remaining lemon slices. Makes 6 servings. Holy cow this is the most yummiest thing in the world. Hope you like it.

Bad Addiction!!

2007-08-23T07:17:00.000-07:00

Okay so this is the most exciting thing in the world!!! For Young Womens we decided to make a back to school book for our activity. Well I had to have a display for the girls to look at , so I attempted to make one. This is it the final product, Camryn was so happy that I made it for her. All I did was cover a composition notebook with scrapbook paper and added some ribbon and a jean pocket for her scissors and pencil. I think the girls had a great time doing all the crafty things that they do. I was really impressed with them and their creativeness!! I had a good time and now I am addicted, I need to make more of these.

Wax on , Wax off! Youth Conference '07

2007-08-22T11:03:00.000-07:00

What an incredible weekand I had with the youth in our ward. We went up to Show Low to a interesting ranch full of wild horses from the Snowy River! The weekand was filled with fun, exciting, wet and hard activities. I couldn't decide what was funner, they were all amazing. There were some good times and fun friends to hang out with. I went canoeing, rock climbing, and repelling. Now if I could just wakeboard I would be happy!! I had a great time hanging out with my kids, it was fun to have Colton, Caitlin and Conner all there with me. I usually just have Caitlin with me because of Girls Camp, but I got to experience dealing with the boys. Fun!! Thank you Conner for saving me from a broken Canoe!! I hope the kids enjoyed it as much as I did.

Back to School , Back to Reality!

2007-08-17T09:49:00.000-07:00

Well School is Back in Session!!! I actually miss all the commotion! But I really love having a schedule and knowing what I am doing during the day. Colton and Caitlin have their first hour together , which is Spanish. They are so funny, they wished that their dad would have taught them spanish growing up. They said it would have been very helpful to them in passing this class!! To bad Dad didn't even grow up speaking spanish!! Conner and Cam are loving their new school. Conner is making lots of new friends even friends of the opposite sex (which I am freaking out about!!) I don't know why! I have girls calling the house a couple times a day, and he gets mad if he misses a call! It is so funny. And lovely Camryn is having a great time in 2nd grade, she has a little girl in her class named Emma, and they WERE sitting by each other until this week, the teacher said that they talked to much. So now she is sitting in between two boys!! Yuck, Camryn Says! And Cade started Preschool with Ms. Nikkii and the first day , I told him I was going to go and leave him there, and he told me Okay, go already, I'm good!!! So I think he will have a great time. Especially because his good buddy Paige is in his class. He really likes her, and he said , Mom she is the only cool kid at my school!! So anyway everyone is happy and back on schedule. It is going to be a great Year!!!

Crazy Hot Tamale Summer

2007-07-08T21:50:00.000-07:00

Well my good friend mentioned to me today that I haven't blogged in awhile, so I thought I would jot a few things down!!! It sure has been a crazy hot summer so far. I went to girls camp the beginning of June, which was the most wonderful time of my life, I had so much fun and headaches from laughing so much, it was worth every dirt spot on every part of my body!!! I defintely made a ton of memories! Anyway after that my family does a traditional beach house every year at Newport Beach and it is amazing, I sat on the beach everyday and relaxed and that was pretty much it!!! It was just what the doctor ordered!!! I miss the beach and the dang stinking weather there!! But now I am just trying to keep the kids occupied so we are swimming everyday, it is so nice to have a pool and to be able to say get your suits on and I don't have to drive them anywhere.........holy cow I have lived here all my life and I never had a pool growing up or since I have been married. That is just wrong, I am going to have a pool everywhere I live from now on, that is all I have to say about that!! Anyway the pool is very helpful in these flipping hot gosh dang days!!! Well I can't believe School is going to start right around the corner, I am so excited for this year to start, because I volunteered to be the PTO President and this is a new year, new school and new people to work with and I am so excited about it!! Camryn has never really had me be really involved with the school that she has gone to, so this year will be fun, because I will be a little to involved! But anyway I will have a lot of fun activities and events to plan and I can't wait! Our first event is a Luau on July 28th and it is going to be a meet and greet the principal and see the school for the first time, it should be fun. Well I will chat later.

My Life!!!

My Life, My Happiness, My Excitement!!!

Hey just wanted to introduce my kids, aka.. my life. Here they are in no particular order...... this is Camryn and she is 7 and she wanted to have a tea party for her Birthday this year. She is going to be our Veternarian because she loves animals of every shape and size. She loves school and loves her animals. Next we have Conner and he is 13 , he is our Athlete and is not afraid to try any new sport at all, he loves to be outdoors and playing with his friends, his new thing is skateboarding (thank you Colton) he seems to be doing really good on that piece of board and 4 wheels. Anyway he loves hanging with his friends and he loves Candy!!! Next we have Caitlin and she is a hoot she is 15 , and she loves to be unique in everyway, here she is with Conner , and they are both being themselves that is for sure!!! She wants to be a Fashion Designer when she grows up (which I hope she grows up soon!!!) anyway she has alot of talent it just amazes me!!!

Next we have Colton and he is 16 and doesn't drive yet , I wish he would so he could take himself to his own dang friends houses!!! Well he

is our runner , just watching him makes me have asthma, but he seems to do just fine. He loves it and that is what is important. He loves to Skate and hang with his friends and he also loves to play the bass guitar. Now last but certainley not least is Cade , a.k.a Caders he loves to be called that. Anyway Cade is our Anger Management problem child. You never know when he is going to fly off the handle and yell at you are kiss you a hundred times. We defintely have patients with this guy!!! But we love him so and he sure knows that. He is our child that always has something funny to say. Like this one time he was at my friend Jess's house and she gave him a snack of some sort and he was sitting on her tile in front of the TV and he spilled some of his food on the floor and he looked around and then finally asked Jess " Hey do you have a dog" Another words he was so used to our dog picking up after his messes that he just assumed that she would have a dog so he didn't have to pick up his mess!!!! It thought that was so funny, and so did my friend Jess. Anyway that is the gang and they truly are my life, my happiness and most of all my excitement.

School Boy!!

This is it!!! All in one package of cuteness, Cade said to me today.......Hello are you not going to take me to Preschool. I said no son it is Saturday, he said mom you don't know what you are talking about it is Tuesday. So we argued a little bit about what day of the week it was and finally I just let him put on his backpack and he was happy and he thought he was going to school, but then I distracted him with a movie (Dinosaurs, his favorite right now, thanks to Jess) and some popcorn!!! And life is good again!!

Boys Gotta Love Em!!

Well I decided to write again, but when I write a like to listen to music so I decided to add a little bit of a jingle to my blog. Hope you all enjoy. My little guy Cade wants me to add that song by Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend, he is obsessed with that song. He is so funny he talks about having a girlfriend and that they are going to go to Sonic together and he might hold her hand. Okay people he is only 4yrs old , so should I be a little nervous about this one!! Anyway , Colton took off yesterday on a camping/boating trip with the Priests and Teachers and I was so excited for him to go and have a good time. I drove him to the church and said my goodbyes and he came up and gave me this big hug and told me that he loved me. And he didn't just do that once he did it twice , do you just know that made my day!!! I was so dang happy. With all the craziness going on in my life just to have a little bit of peace like that makes everything go away!! Well I am going to stop for now but I hope all of you have a great day!!

Women's Expo

Time with the Gals!!

Well I went to the Women's Expo for the first time. It was a lot of fun, and I can't believe all the people that were there, even men!! Me and Caitin and my mom went and we had a great time. My mom really enjoyed herself and she was so proud of herself for getting 15 bottles of nail polish for free. They were pretty cool. Caitlin was so proud of herself for getting 7 compliments on her hair that day, and the funny thing was is that it was just pulled up in a bun thingy majigy!! This picture wasn't her hairdo, but I thought it was cute of Caitlin. After the Expo my mom treated us to pizza and wings (great idea for my diet!) But anyway I really don't like wings, but boy let me tell ya a thing or two about these wings.... The place is called Ball Park Pizza and they have the best Golden wings there is , my mom ordered 20 wings and I ate oh about 10!!!! I couldn't believe it , for someone that doesn't like wings, I sure did that day!!! Anyway it was a great time I loved hanging out with my daughter Caitlin and of course hanging out with my cool mom!!!

I had to work up in Pinetop/Showlow area and I spent the time I wasn't working with this awesome family!! I had so much fun laughing, eating wonderful food and enjoying the best company ever. It was so chilly up there, I didn't even come prepared with a jacket. But I got my work done and drove home , already missing Showlow and the awesome people I was with. I listened to these cool CD's on the way home about a Millionaire Mind, and I popped the first one in and then the second and then the last one and finished them all before I got home, it was awesome and I am telling ya, I have a millionaire mind!!! That was the best upliftment possibe. It was the best car ride home, the CD's , black licorice and my fiber one bars!!! I loved it!! Anyway I had a great couple of days , but now I have to get back to life. Oh and I almost forgot, has anyone ever seen a brown pen before, nope that is what I thought, well guess what I got one and it is staying with me forever!!! Thanks for a great couple of days!!

Big Lots Big Fun

2007-04-12T20:50:00.001-07:00

So there I was in Big Lots with my little guy Cade and we were killing some time while Colton was in Physical Therapy. Cade was such a patient little fella walking up and down the aisles. Well finally we came to the toy aisle and Cade yelled to the top of his lungs "Now this is what I am talking about, Oh Yeah!!!" And then he started doing a little bootie dance. He was so loud and I was looking around to see if anyone heard him and there was one lady and she just smiled and laughed!! It was the funniest thing!! He sure makes my day.
