Unsuccesful Blogger

Well it has been established by more than one person, (this includes myself) that I am officially one of the worst bloggers ever! I am sure not THE worst but one of them at least!
I have to give credit to those who can blog faithfully, especially when you have 2 children that do not give you 2 seconds to do anything alone, in fact the only reason I am able to write this blog now, is because I turned on Kung-Fu Panda....yes my children are watching T.V.! And just to let you all know, I do this when I need to clean, do laundry, organize bills, take a shower or even just breathe. So Kudos to those who manage their time wisely and manage to fit blogging in as well!
So recent exciting events include Olivia getting ready for kindergarten (more on that later) The millions of birthday's that occur in May! (Happy Birthday to....Dad, Jamison, Olivia, Krew......) and Happy Mothers day to all of our wonderful mothers.
Also My Step-Brother Jacob will be graduating high school next week and my Brother Brad will graduate on June 5th. Congrats!!!!!! And I got to see WICKED, which was amazing! I am so happy I was able to go!
Oh ya, I also stopped drinking soda, and to be honest, it wasn't so hard. No headaches or anything. I mainly did it to just prove Levi wrong....he didn't think I could really do it, and we are now going on 3 weeks. Let me say this, Blueberry Pomegranate and Black Cherry Propel water is great! Water I actually like drinking and I am NOT a water drinker! ;)
I am sure there are many other things that I cannot recall at this time, maybe that's why I should be better and blog more often!
I know I have promised before (promises, promises) but I will try to do better!!!!!!

Memories...



Awhile back I was posting some older pictures and I found this one of my Grandma and myself. It's so funny to think back on what was going on in my life. I was 15 and my grandma was 57. It was Christmas and because I was the oldest grandchild I had to sit on her lap too! I am so grateful that I have this picture and those wonderful memories. When she got sick I thought my life would be over if anything happened to her, now that we are going through the process and now that she is finished with the Chemo, it's a little easier to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I love her so very much!
A couple of weeks ago, I took some pictures of Olivia and Krew with her as well and they turned out very cute and a little silly.

Halloween 2008

A little behind on the blogging....

A little behind on the blogging....
Sorry!
I am going to try to be better, life gets crazy at times and so I will attempt to remember everything exciting that has happened in our lives lately. I am guessing most of the next few posts to update this blog will be about the kiddos, just because that is my world.
Not that I would have it any other way!!!!!

Happy Birthday Brad!!!!!!

Yesterday was my baby brother Brad's 18TH birthday. I cannot believe it! Of course to me, he will always be that "baby brother." He is such an amazing kid...smart, funny, and crazy just like me and the rest of my family. I am an overprotective sister as well as a mother, and I would trust my kids with him without question!
Of course, he is living the teenager life, so hanging out isn't as often as it used to be, but we always have the best time. It's funny to think that when Levi and began dating he was only 5 years old! Wow!
I can honestly say that if my children turn out to be even half of what he is, they will be very close to perfect! They have a good start because he spends time with them and is a very good role model! I am so proud of him and I love him so much, I hope he knows what a wonderful Brother he is to me, as well as the best Uncle a kid can have.
I could never ask for a better brother!
Love you Brad, and Happy Birthday!!!!!

What's next?????

When you become a parent, you also become a safety freak. You love your baby more than anything and you want to do everything you possibly can to ensure you have a happy, healthy, and SAFE child.
You do everything necessary to baby-proof your home, Putting up safety gates so they can't injure themselves falling up and down the stairs, putting anything toxic up high, so they don't get poisoned from the harmful chemicals, and putting plug covers on your outlets, so they don't get shocked.

So what are you supposed to do when the baby starts learning how they can get around those safety precautions that you have implemented?????

Krew is nothing like his sister....he fears nothing! His recent mischief includes trying to walk down the stairs as an adult does, getting mad when I try to help him, climbing onto the couch and jumping off, and now he has learned to pull the plug covers out.
So now I have very heavy book tape on top of the plug covers, which are in the outlet. I am wondering how long this safety measure will last.....

Whats next?????

5 WHOLE DAYS?!?!

So Levi is going out of town tomorrow...Heading to Vegas for a convention of some kind. I am really going to miss him! I know I am such a sap!!!! I was thinking about it and realized that we have not spent more than 2 days apart since I moved back from Arizona....in 1998!!!!! 10 years ago! WOW!



VALENTINE'S DAY 1998


We will celebrate our 6 year anniversary in November, but really we have been together quite a bit longer. It's crazy to think that I met him when I was 15, and the day I turn 30 (yuck!) I will have spent over half of my life with him.
I wouldn't change one single day of it!
I am so fortunate to have Levi and my precious babies!
This will be the longest time we have ever been apart and as much as I love my house, I don't like thinking I will be here by myself! Livi and Krew will be here and we will make the most of it..I know that they will miss him as much as I will....almost!


AUGUST 2007 I think it's time for a new Family picture!

We have been together through the good times, and through the worst times of our lives but that's when you realize how much you truly love a person! He is the strongest person I know......I don't know how I made it through the difficult time after Olivia was born, but I do know that I could have never done it without him!
As much as 5 whole days sounds bad, it doesn't even compare to some of our other life experiences.
Hopefully these next 5 days pass quickly!
Levi, please come home soon! And Safe!!!! I love you!
