Change

Well I moved. OK not officially yet, but hopefully by the end of the month. This has been a super hard decision for me. There is a lot involved....some people are mad, others are grateful and me, well I am somewhere in the middle.

One thing that A LOT of people do not understand is that sometimes we are put in places or decision that are not entirely our choice. Sometimes choices people make affect others....and there is nothing that the person it affected can do about it. I am one of those people. The move is a culmination of a lot of other peoples decisions that affected me. The best choice for me was to move. It was not what I wanted, but I am grateful I had a place to go.

I need to thank the Taggarts for ALWAYS being there for me. I could not ask for a better family that technically isn't my family. They have been here for me for the past 11+ years. Thank GOD I have them!

To my ward family (6Th ward) I am going to miss you all so much! I love all of you! I loved my calling, my kids teachers, and the bishopric! Please keep in touch and know that I would not be where I am today without all of you!

This week has been especially hard. The girls started a new school, I started school, and I had court with the EX. Court was so hard for me. You look at someone, who at one time you thought was your everything, and then you realize what he has become and you are confused at how you could ever have loved that person. I honestly cannot believe he is the father of my 3 kids. He has made some bad choices and the outcome of court this week was not what I wanted, I actually thought the judge was harsh, but the decision was not mine.

Sometimes change can be a good thing and I am hoping this change turn out to be just that.

Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive of me. I couldn't do this without you.

Burn Camp 2010

I just got back from camp this week. This was my 9th year at camp Nah Nah Mah. I truly am blessed to be apart of this awesome organization. I hope to do it for many more years to come. The pics I post are only of me and no kids. We live in SMALL LAKE CITY and their stories are theirs to tell. I will post all the links to the news storys and the burn camp website.

Thank you to Brad, Ratch and Kristen who are the backbone of this organizion. To Mitch, Brandy, Janette, Leonard, Janet, Sam, and Matt you are truly some of my best friends and thank you for all your love.

The highlight at camp this year was that I fell and broke my knee cap! It SUCKS! I am no going to be able to run for a couple weeks, but hope ta make a few races in Sept.

If anyone is in need of volunteering and having a blast at the same time, look into this organizations. It is amazing!

I'm Alive!

Wow its been too long since I last blogged! The kiddos and I are doing fabulous! The last few months have not been the best, but as always I pull through and am stronger for all the trials that come my way.

I am going to post about Gorgoza Park in Park City. I took the kids while they were off track in January. Bryn's friend Lexi came with us and it was so much fun! It is right off the Jeremy Ranch exit, and is easily seen from the road. The kids had so much fun! Bryn and Lexi were able to go on all the tube runs, but Jaycee and Cam could only do the smaller ones and the cute kid park thing they had. It was a little pricey, but honestly worth it. Here it is July...OK August and my kids are asking when we can go again.

AWE!

Here is the link to our photographers website again http://www.shamelessphotography.net/

She said some of the nicest things about me and my kids.

I will be using her again in the future:)

Dear Jaycee

Dear Jaycee,

You turned 7 last week...7!!!! I cannot believe you are that old! I love you more than you'll ever know. I am so thankful for you and your sweet sweet spirit. You are so mellow compared to Bryn and Cam right now.

I am so sorry that you have been so sick lately. You definitely got my grace...well lack of grace. :) You are my personality twin, I know what you are thinking before you think it.

Thank you for giving me your awesome hugs and kisses everyday!! They make my day everyday! You are getting so tall and pretty, your big blue eyes seem to give you away when you try to lie or have a secret.

I am so proud of all your accomplishments in school, and cannot wait to see how you do in softball.

Always know mommy loves you!

Love,

MOM

Camden Crack-ups

Camden: Mom, guess what?

Mom: What Cam?

Camden: I gotta big one in my pants

Mom: (mind went straight to the gutter) You have a what?

Camden: I have a big one in my pants

Mom: You have a big what????

Camden: Farts very loudly while running away laughing


I was very very very glad that he had a big fart in his pants and not what my mind was thinking! He is very much a little boy! LOL

Hello again

It doesn't help that one of my New Years resolutions was to blog more...oops:)

Well January has been a very interesting month! My poor Jaycee has battled more UTI and kidney infections, staples in her head, and her daily clumsiness. I sometimes wonder about my little sweetie...she seems to be so accident prone.

On Sunday she missed a chair at the Taggarts and cracked her little head open. It required 1 staple, but the worst was when they said they were going to staple it and she FREAKED, scratched the crap out of my face, and required 4 people to hold her down!! Yep, it was AWESOME!

Then today she was combing her hair and pulled part of the staple out. So we headed to the DR again (5th time in a little over 30days)and they removed it. Her scar will be worse, but I didn't care because it was on the back of her head.

I have decided to not do the testing on her right now to determine why she keeps getting UTI and kidney infections. She needs a break and SO DO I! If she gets another one I will for sure do the tests, but she is pretty afraid of the Dr right now and I don't want that to continue.

More post to come from the rest of Jan...we had a lot of fun!
