FaMiLy FuN!!! 4-25-2008

Looking Back, WAY back!

I am cleaning house-going through EVERYTHING-and I came across some pretty funny pictures from long, long ago!

In the very top photo I believe that is Shelli Losee on the left-me on the right. The middle picture is Mitch Wasden, My sister Jennifer, and myself. The last picture is at one of my birthday parties and I can name most of them- Jenni Mangum, Krissy Whitney, Me, BreAnn Edwards, Bethany Cramer, Talea Toress, & Mitch Wasden! I must say a BIG thanks to my Mom-thanks for the AWESOME hair-do! I am thinking of going back to that style! TOO FUNNY!

July 2007 Vacation- Punta Mita

Here are a few pictures from our trip last summer to Punta Mita, Mexico. Jaden turned 7 while there and the Four Seasons threw him a party with a pinata, cake, fun and games! It was a lot of fun-the food was amazing! I think if he had his way we would go on a vacation every time someone has a birthday!

Longing for another Vacation....

OK-it has been six months since we have been on a vacation and apparently that is about how long it takes for me to get back into vacation mode again. I miss the sound of the Ocean, the relaxed atmosphere where there are no schedules, no cell phones, nothing but my husband and cute kids. So this post is dedicated to our last vacation to Cabo. I am now looking into the newest four seasons that opens mid-2008 in Bora Bora (those of you that know me know this is my dream vacation) if the flight wasn't so long it would already be booked. Actually it isn't the flight that is deterring me it is the layover-with three kids I know how bad layovers are! So for now I will keep dreaming of my Bungalow over the beautiful turquoise ocean-but hey - you never know!!

J-Dog Team Wolfpack!

We have had such a fun time watching the kids get better and better each week as the season progresses. We have 3 weeks left of soccer and about a month left of baseball-I asked Adam what am I going to do not having to be two places at once? He said I am sure you will stay busy-it's what you do. It is true I always take on and do more than I should, but my kids appreciate it, right? Well at least they hopefully will someday!

Koda bear and Harley Girl! Best Buddies!

Field Trip 4-8-2008

I went on a walking field trip with Jaden's class on Tuesday. I am glad I was able to go and take a few pictures of Jaden and his friends! We walked to Burger King, The Bank, Albertsons, and Little Caesars. At each stop the managers would take us on a tour and tell us more about how their business runs. It was very interesting and I was surprised to learn that a LOT of people order Whoppers at 9:30 in the morning!! OH MY!

I WON!!!!!

I just had to post-I am so excited that I had to share with the world! I WON! We put together a game every year for the NCAA and we had 15 entries at $10 a pop-I took 1st place (99% in the COUNTRY!) winning $100 Kimberly took 2nd winning $40 and Gary took 3rd winning back his entry fee of $10. Congrats to all-and good luck next year!

Our FUN Quick trip to SLC!!! 4-5-2008

I surprised the kids Friday morning- checking them out of school early and heading to Salt Lake for a mini get-away since Adam would be working late again and would be gone most of the weekend. When I told them where we were going they thought I was kidding-but soon found out I wasn't-We had a GREAT time staying at my parent’s house, shopping, eating AWESOME food, and having a blast at the Dinosaur Museum!

My Little Corn on the Cobb! 4-3-2008

J-Dog was in a school play and he was the cutest little Corn! He said his part loud and clear and sang all of the songs as loud as he could! We have loved having Sandra as a teacher this year, and will miss not having her next year! Way to go Dog!

On the bright side of this crazy life…

The past couple of months has gone by in a blur and I feel that I haven’t had time to sit and enjoy my children like I should or my poor husband. I feel like I am constantly nagging everyone to hurry up so we can get here or there. So I would like to take a minute to say...

I am thankful to have a HUSBAND who works harder than he SHOULD. I am thankful to have a DAUGHTER to teach me how to be a better MOMMA. I am thankful for J-DOG without his tender heart the world would be BLUE! I am thankful for KODA to remind me to LAUGH. I am thankful for my SISTER who listens to ME. I am thankful for my SWEETS who puts up with ALL of me. I am thankful for my DAD who has shown me what UNCONDITIONAL love is. I am thankful for the HARD times to help me APPRECIATE the good. I am thankful for a MOM for being a great GRANDMA. I am thankful for the INNOCENCE of my children to help me see life through the eyes of GOD.
