Happy Thanksgiving!

I don't really have much to say right now. Too many thoughts to articulate. Honestly, I don't want to do much talking at all just didn't want to leave Halloween up.

Almost Fall!


It's almost my very favorite time of the year...Fall! I love the way the air feels crisp and clean and carries just the slightest hint of drying leaves. Nothing says fall like a hot cup of apple cider and the smell of cinnamon. Halloween has always been a favorite holiday in my family and if you have fallen victim to the pranks my family plays, you know what I am talking about. If you have not fallen victim, no worries, you could very well hear a strange knock on your window or have your power go off suddenly one night this fall. Just know we are out there...watching and waiting.

Summer 2010!

So many wonderful things have happened in the last little while. Summer has been filled with many fun memories with the people I love the most. There has been some hard times as well (mainly heart surgery) but, as always the people who I love the most were right there by my side to offer comfort and support. I have taken many pictures but I post most of them on Facebook. There are too many to put post on a blog so I will post some of my favorite pics from Summer and summarize the event! Haha!

Heart Surgery 6/2/10..I had a Pacemaker put in to correct a slow heartbeat of only 30 beats a minute. It's now beating at an average 91 beats per minute. My family and Chris were right there by my side the whole time. Chris took care of me during an intense first 3 weeks of recovery! It has taken 8 weeks to start feeling better.



Camping @ Currant Creek!



Justin Bieber Concert with Ayana, Me, Audrey & Mikayla!



The Homestead with Chris's Mom and Sister over the July 24th Holiday Weekend!



Daughter/Mommy Date @ Lagoon!



I took Kelly's advice and took Mikayla and Ayana hiking to Cecret Lake!



Random fun times with my kids!





My adventures with Chris! I love that man! We have a fire almost every night, we have hiked Timpanogos Cave, we have gone rabbit hunting but mostly we just enjoy each others company and don't need to do much at all!





So...that's pretty much it in a nutshell! It has been a great summer so far. The wonder and awe in my kids eyes every time they experience something new makes it all worth it. I have enjoyed most of the summer....but BRING ON THE FALL!!!

Mother's Day 2010

Mommy this post is for you because I know you don't Facebook!
Mother's Day was great this year. I felt like such a princess. My kids mean so much to me and I am grateful and blessed to have them in my life. Saturday night started off the festivities at Chris's dad house in Grantsville. He had a BBQ for all the Mom's in his life. The roses in the picture are from him. I woke up on Mother's Day morning to Chris saying "Happy Mother's Day" to me. We went to Brunch with his family and his mom gave me the bowl of goodies with the recipes for fun and simple snacks to bake with your kids. She gave me this really sweet card thanking me for being so good to her son.

Ayana made me the "Mom" card, necklace, homemade card and coupons I could use for chores and other things. My boys gave me kisses! My mom and dad gave me some much needed beauty products and a wonderful Scentsy room spray! Yay!!!

Chris gave me that beautiful ring!! He is so sweet to me. So different then what I am used to. He genuinely enjoys seeing and making me happy. The man I have children with didn't even acknowledge it was Mother's Day.

Anyway, I am truly blessed to be a Mom and be able to celebrate this Holiday with my children, the people that mean the most to me and especially my Mom.

My Mommy!

This Sunday is Mother's Day! My mom is the best thing that has ever happened to me. When I was young, she cared for me. Changing diapers, feeding me, teaching me and loving me. My mom has been there for me through the good, the bad and the down right ugly! She never judges me, although she might not agree with the decisions I make or the way I do things. Mom always offers up the best advice and the best meals!

I have so many memories growing up, too many to put down. So to sum it up in general, the best memories I have are with my family. My mom was always the center of those memories, be it a vacation, wiping away tears the first time my heart was broken by a boy, or being to EVERY single performance or game or school function. Basically my mom is the most wonderful woman in the world. She is my friend, my confidant, my support system, my teacher, my everything!

I love her with all my heart and every ounce of my being. I will never be able to repay her for all the things she has done and continues to do for me and my children.

Mom, I love you! Please know that I could never articulate how I feel about you and all the wonderful things you do. I know I am not always the easiest child to deal with even at age 32, but know that I never meant to hurt you or cause you stress or worry. You are an incredible Mom and Nana and person! I hope we are able to celebrate many more Mother's Day's together!
