Church

I went to church today, It was the Primary Program. Both of my girls had speaking parts. If you remember last year you can see why I was a little nervous about what was going to happen. But they both did great. Bailey was singing her little heart out on "I am a child of God" and Laira was singing all the songs.. and you could tell she was trying so hard even on the songs she didn't know so well. I was so proud of them both. Even though I had to walk Bailey up there when everyone was going cause she didn't want to go.

My girls are getting so big. They are so great, I often feel inadequate as their Mother but I feel blessed that I was entrusted with them here on this earth. As untraditional our family is we have a lot of love and support. And I am so thankful for that.

This article touched me so deeply. It's also the most open anyone has been about Stephanie and her injuries. She is an amazing woman who is constantly in my thoughts and prayers.

Updates

Thank you for the many emails and comments letting me know that I am loved . I AM doing much better it was just one of those days.

I got the job with Phlebotomy. I will be working with them PRN or as needed right now but I am hoping to slip into a permanent position soon. The only downside to this is that I had my holiday schedule all figured out the way it would work best for me. And now I may have to work some more holidays. But I am very excited.

I have been working on pulling Thanksgiving together and am very excited to spend some quality time with my extended family members that I don't get to see very often.

Well I have to get in the shower and get ready for work.. I know .. its 3 in the afternoon and I haven't showered.. but hey.. my kids are bathed, fed and happy and that is what matters.

I am having one of those terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days!

Laira's 6th Birthday

This is Laira, its her Birthday
This is one of the presents Laira opened for her Birthday.
This is Xander, Xander cried and cried when none of the presents were for him. So his Mom wrapped up one of his favorite old toys and gave it to him like a new present.
This is Xander when he opens the "new chow" sooooo excited. We all laugh.
This is Xander helping blow out the candles.

Kallie

Those who know me well know that I am not generally an animal person. The cons out weigh the pros by far to me. But today our dog Kallie was put to sleep. Kallie was a great dog. She obeyed really well. She liked the cats. She was a great protector and she was scared of little kids which always make me laugh. She loved to play Frisbee with her boys (my brothers) We had Kallie for a very long time. She was old and hurting and it was time. I am surprised at how emotional I am over this. I don't know what happens to animals after they die but I would hope that she is now free from her pain and suffering and is running somewhere with a Frisbee in her mouth waiting for someone to tell her to 'drop it'.

IF I ever have a dog of my own I hope that it will be as good of a dog as Kallie was.

Lots of little things.

Well I guess I have more to blog about than I thought. SO I will blog about several small things and make it one big post.

1- I have new hair, I decided to go dark and so far I love it. My fabulous friend Emily does my hair and I never leave there not feeling beautiful. She works at Suggestions Salon in Orem. Go see her.

2- I love my job but I want to do something new, learn more. So I took that Phlebotomy class. I applied for a position about a month ago and yesterday I have my interview. She told me she only interviewed 3 people and that I had a good chance. I will find out today hopefully. I am also hoping to take an EMT class and then be able to work in the ER.

3- My Dad was put in as the 2nd counselor in the bishopric Sunday. He will do great.

4- Bailey is starting to show signs that she is still not feeling well. I don't know what to do or how to make her better. The Doc can't find anything wrong with her other than she was dehydrated.

5- I love the fall but I HATE the snow. I am not excited for winter.

6-I love my children.

My blog is seriously lacking, So I am asking you what do you want to hear about? Should I spotlight my friends? should I post recipes? Should I just talk about my kids?

I don't blog because I don't know what to write about.

So please.. help me out.

Dragon

So my Dad always likes to tease me and my siblings about when we were little, found the baby powder, and blew it all over the room. Playing Dragon. Like the smoke out of his nose. He says that every time after he would sit in that chair that there would be a little poof of powder that plumed into the air.

Well today that story came back to bite me in the bootay!

Laira was at school and it was just Bailey and I. I told her I needed to take a nap and asked if she wanted to watch a movie. So I put on some Halloween movie, and fell asleep in the lazy boy next to Bailey. When I woke up I could smell the baby powder. I looked over to the chair that Bailey use to be sitting in. It was all white, except for the small area where a little body had been. I looked over in the corner and there she was spraying away. She looked like a little ghost, Baby Powder all over her head and clothes. No I didn't take any pictures, I was too angry. I sent her to her room and proceeded to clean up the mess. Then I put her in the bath where she apologized profusely.

Later when my Dad got home and I told him what had happened he chuckled and said something about every generation doing the same stuff. I think he got a big kick out of the fact that Bailey was playing Dragon.

Happy Ex- Anniversary!

Today would have been my 7 year anniversary.
How fitting that he is spending it with our children.


I count my blessings that I am not married to him anymore. It took me long enough to realize that it was in fact a blessing.


So today I want to thank him. Thank you for giving me 2 of the most beautiful children ever. Thank you for showing me that I deserve more than you could have ever given me.

THANK YOU!

QUESTION

2 hot single women
1 day of rain
0 kids

what do you do?

If you answered :go to lunch and then spend the rest of your time going to 3 movies in a row then you are correct!

Halloweentown

I remember when we were little and had 'basic' cable, every so often they would do a promotional week free of Disney Channel. We loved it. They always had the greatest shows and movies on. Now we have a lot of kid channels but I still love Disney, the cartoons and stuff generally have good morals and teach good lessons.

Well my girls have recently discovered the "Halloweentown" movies. The first one was on yesterday and the sequel was on today. They get a little intense for the kids but they love it. I am glad that there are good 'wholesome' Halloween movies out there that aren't going to scare them so bad they can't sleep.

Apparently there are 2 more Halloweentown movies. We will see if those will be on too. In the mean time.

Happy Haunting.
