Graduation

Today my baby boy graduates from Kinder. It's hard to believe a whole year has gone by. I (of course) cried like a BIG huge baby. I am so proud of him and all that he has learned this year. He is reading so good and loves math too.

I love his teacher and hope Kenzie gets her next year. She is amazing! My BIG boy!
Me, Jordan and Will.

Day 15 picture of you and a family member

Remember me as a little girl with my cousin Neya?

Well this is us all grown up about 2 weeks ago when she turned 30.

Day 14 someone I have known the longest other than family

That would be Nicole!! I have known her since 5th grade. And we lost touch after HS but have since became friends again. And the fun part is is that our Daughters LOVE each other! It's funny cause we use to joke about how we would have daughters that would be Best Friends and we do! So fun! This is Clare (on the Lt) and Nicole (on the RT). We were making homemade pasta and they wanted to make a super long one. So much fun! I laughed so much that night.

Day 13 Favorite movie.

I love movies so this was hard to pick so I choose two. The wizard of Oz has always been my favorite! I love Judy Garland so I like a lot of her movies but this is a favorite. And of couse I love the musical Wicked!! Kenzie and I listen to the music at least once a day. (I may have to take her when it comes in Feb 2012)
The notebook was one of my favorite books and the movie was just a good. I loved every second of it. And Will will even sit and watch it with me over and over again. It's a perfect love story (which I cry watching every time)

Day 12 something that scares you

The one thing that scarres me the most it losing one of my children. When Henry was born he didn't cry because he wasn't breathing (the cord was wrapped around his body). I saw the panic look on the Doctors face and then the tears from Will and I didn't know what to think. I wanted to HEAR my baby. And no one would talk to me.

I was in shock as I had just had a baby with no drugs and it was SUPER fast so that may have helped alittle in me not freaking out totally. But it took a LONG time for him to finally cry.

I remember looking up at Will at one point and I said "did we have a boy?" holding back tears he said "yes" Then walked away to be with him.

Just reliving it is hard. I am crying now! And he is OKAY!! (He did stop breathing two other times when we were in the hospital but he is great now!) You can see the purple in his hands, top of head and tummy in this picture. Make my heart hurt to see this!
And here he is a few hours later NO MORE purple! He is with Grandpa in this picture. (My dad Frank)

So thankful for the priesthood blessing I got to be able to step outside myself and deliever this sweet baby. Cause 3 hours later all the stress caught up to me and I got super sick and couldn't even hold him for about 4 more hours. Thank goodness for my mom!

Summer time

Looking for a bathing suit this summer? Then go to Harpari Swimwear. They are super cute and Modest too!! And lots to choose from! Check it out.

Day 11 something I wish I could change

The weather!! I wish it wasn't so HOT. I would like it to be 70 all year! I keep trying to get Will to move but it's not working so if I could change the weather we would be all set!

Day 10 something you find beautiful

My daughter!! I want her to always love herself to know that she is a Daughter of God and beautiful. She has the biggest heart already. She is so fun to have around. And I love her big dark eyes!

I just love love love this girl!

Day 9 you as a baby or child

I already posted one of me around 2 so here is one of me about 3 or 4 with my cousin Neya. This picture is one of my favorites.

Day 8. something you want to do before you die

Okay this is a hard one for me...One I HATE this picture but it's all I have and it helps with my point. I want to learn to love me. All of me. Not just some. I want to look in the mirror and love what I see. I use to but it's been a few years and I want to again. I was happier and so was Will. I am working on it. I am hoping it happens soon like this year! Wow that was hard to say but saying it is the 1st step right?

Day 7. Favorite band or musician

Musician is Michael Buble. I love the his voice makes me melt! I like that it has an old style to it yet it's fresh and new.
Band is Rascal Flatts! If you know me at all you would have already known this. If you didn't know then I guess we're not friends then:) (kidding) I love them. There hasn't been a song I don't like. I have every CD. Stacey and I went to a concert of theirs when they 1st came out and no one knew then and they were FANTASTIC!!!

Day 6. something you could imagine your life without.

Growing up I wanted to be a mommy! I can't imagine NOT being one. I love my role (most days) And being a wife to such a wonderful man is awesome!!!!

Also I couldn't imagine my life with the Church. I am LDS and I have lived without the church so I know life without it and I don't like it!! I am a better friend, sister, daughter, wife, mom and person because of the church..

Day 5. Pictures that make you laugh

Here are a few that make me laugh Kennan and Henry. The oldest grandkid and the youngest. Both sleeping. It was so cute and funny!
For Thanksgiving Kam and Russell dress their youngest two just like our youngest two!! We didn't even plan it.




We went to play and all the kids climbed on Chris's lap and wanted a picture taken. He looks so happy doesn't he?

This was summer 2005. Jordan is telling my mom something. It looks like NO!! Makes me smile!

Day 4

A place you would like to visit.

There are many places I would like to visit but this one place has only been on my list!! I hope to go some day!!

IRELANDIsn't just beautiful!! The green grass and the blue water. Oh and let's not forget the men with sexy accents! I am a sucker for a man with an accent!! (don't worry Will knows;) )

Day 3. A photo that makes you happy

I have a few so here you go.... I love this one of the kids. I just wish Bob was in it. Kenzie's head resting on Jordan makes my heart melt. Baby Henry so sweet and tiny love it!!

This one for Will holding all 3 kids (Henry was still cooking) They wanted to go to the other side but needed Daddy help. I love that he just picked them up and went! He is like that with everything..Where I leave off he will just pick up from and start.




Kenzie hugging the boys! I love that it's so hard, that Bob is trying to get out, that Jordan doesn't seem to mind. I just love that most of the time they love eat other!

This is Bob running after Christina (who was taking his picture) She did such a great job getting his smile on film.

Day 2

A picture of you from a year ago......

Well all the ones from a year ago are me swimming so I am NOT posting those...

So here is me from about 11 months ago... The kids and I waiting in line at Disneyland to ride the Toy story ride.

Baby Henry is in my tummy. I can't believe I was that pregnant when we went. I love Bob's face. He looks so little in this. Kenzie is being a silly girl. She likes to pose. And Jordan has a sweet smile!
