Happy Valentines Day to my little Man!!

2010-02-11T07:10:00.001-08:00

We got the little one's together yesterday for a Valentine's Day Party! Heather did such a good job. Heather and Ryker, Arla and Kale, Kristy Boston and Parker, Becky and Hudson, and Mason and I we there. It was so fun. We had pizza, decorated cookies, and exchanged Valentines. I'm so mad I didn't get a picture of Arla and Kale. Sorry Arla you will have to e-mail me the one from your camera. Thanks Heather it was a blast!

Here's a picture of all the boys together on the couch. They are so cute! Poor Lily is surrounded by boys everywhere she goes.

This is Mason not cooperating and sitting on the other couch and not with the other little ones. What a stinker!!

My little man and Me!

Yes folks this is what my husbands intestines possibly look like. Crohn's disease something I wish my husband didn't have to deal with everyday.

Overview

Crohn's disease is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which involves ongoing (chronic) inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Crohn's-related inflammation usually affects the intestines, but may occur anywhere from the mouth to the end of the rectum (anus).

Causes of Crohn's Disease

While the exact cause of Crohn's disease is unknown, researchers believe that inherited genes, environmental factors, and the immune system all play a role.

Once closely linked to diet and anxiety, there is no clear evidence that either of these is a direct cause of Crohn's disease. However, stress and an unhealthy diet are associated with poor nutrition and may worsen symptoms.

Symptoms depend on what part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. Symptoms range from mild to severe, and can come and go with periods of flare-ups.

The main symptoms of Crohn's disease are:

Crampy abdominal (belly area) pain
Fever
Fatigue
Persistent, watery diarrhea

Other symptoms may include:

Abdominal fullness and gas
Clotting problems (deep vein thrombosis)
Constipation
Eye inflammation
Fistulas (usually around the rectal area, may cause draining of pus, mucus, or stools)
Gastrointestinal bleeding
Joint pain
Kidney stones
Liver inflammation
Loss of appetite
Pain with passing stool (tenesmus)
Rectal bleeding and bloody stools
Skin rash
Swollen gums
Unintentional weight loss

I'm not sure if my husband would appreciate the fact that I'm sharing all this information with you. But the fact is I have to remind myself time and time again that this is something my husband does have to live with everyday. There is not a cure for this disease. I also don't think there is enough awareness out there on this disease.

I love my husband so much and to see him suffer kills me. And the reason I've decided to talk about this today is because I have watched him the last couple of weeks so sick and miserable. Yet he gets up every morning and goes to work. His work ethics are amazing. It doesn't matter how sick he is he suffers threw it. He is an amazing father and husband.

I know this can't be an easy thing for him to have to deal with. Just tonight he had to give himself his bi-weekly injection. A medication called Humira. A medication without insurance would cost approx. $1600.00 a month. Humira is used to reduce the signs and symptoms of moderate to severe Crohn’s disease in adults who have not responded well to conventional treatments.

It pains me to know that he can't remember how it feels to not have pain in or around his stomach area. I pray that someday in the near future that there will be a cure for this disease. That my husband will someday be pain free.

Happy Birthday Mason!!

Kay I have the most amazing friends ever!! New Moon was so much fun!

Jeannie did so amazing!! We met at her house for dinner and she had gifts for all of us. And games planned. What a fun night before the baby! I couldn't have asked for a better night!

O.k. I know I look huge in this picture but I still love it. Thanks Misty for taking it!! Pocket Edward was awesome!!

Thanks Jeannie for planning it!!

So Excited!!

2009-11-17T20:32:00.000-08:00

I wasn't going to let myself get excited about New Moon. I thought Lily would be here by the time it came out in the Theater. I wanted to go to the Midnight Showing with my friends but thought that I would have a new little one. Since she isn't here yet. Guess what I'm going!!

Jeanie texted me this morning and invited me to go. She asked if I thought I would have the baby by then. I told her it wasn't looking that way so I'm so excited to say I get to go. It was almost like it was meant to be that she had an extra ticket. She is having a pre-show dinner and then were all taking off to the theater. I'm soooo excited. It's going to be so much fun.

Thanks so much Jeanie for thinking of me. I have awesome friends!! Love you all!!

Why? I keep changing my mind. I know this is so stupid. And I apologize to you who visit me often. But I think for now I will keep my blog Public. I read my horoscope today and this is what it said.

The possibility of new beginnings seem to dominate the day today, Scorpio. You may experience forgiveness, or you may give someone else a second chance, but either way, you'll have a personal experience with closing the door on the past. All you have to do is to be willing to accept change, and let go of whatever is holding you back. Be careful not to hold on to any grudges, and make sure you don't reference your present situation to the worst of the past. Find the meaning in past problems and move on, because this is a day of hope and encouragement for you.

This is why I've decided to go public once again.

FrUsTrAtIoN

2009-11-14T18:45:00.000-08:00

This is exactly how I feel today. I'm so ready for Lily to come. But she is being so stubborn. Camron and I went to the hospital this afternoon because I felt Lily wasn't moving very well. So we get to the hospital and the nurses aren't sure what to do with me because they don't really want to admit me just to do an NST. Well I tell them my baby hasn't moved today so you need to admit me.

So they tell me that is fine and get me into a room. Make me get into a gown hook me up to the monitors. And Lily is just fine. I'm so so glad that she is. But while I'm on the monitors I start contracting. So I think to myself this might be it. They keep me on the monitors for about an hour. And then they stop. WHAT!!!

I have to keep thinking that it's better if she stays in there longer. But with past experiences with my other pregnancies I can't help but be frustrated. I delivered all the boys at 38 weeks. And I'm 38 weeks tomorrow. I'm thinking this will go on most likely for another 2 weeks. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Hopefully something will happen soon. But for now we will wait. And try and be patient.

DoNe!!

2009-11-09T07:14:00.000-08:00

I'm done finally with my house cleaning. I'm starting to feel on top of things. I only have 3 weeks left. I'm going to get my bags packed today for the hospital. Camron is still working on the nursery. Maybe now that I'm done with my stuff I can finally start helping him. I'm not sure that painting the crib a different color was such a good idea.

I think my whole problem with starting the nursery is moving Mason in with Reese. Mason has done so good in his toddler bed. But as much as I would like him to stay in his own room. Lily will be here soon. We were thinking that if we bought him Thomas the Train sheets he would have no problem moving over to his new bed. I can't believe how big he's getting.

This week Lily's room! Next week hopefully Lily!!

Ultra Sound Pictures!

2009-10-30T18:34:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple of Ultasound pictures of Lily. She was hiding so they couldn't get one of her face. The good news is that her heart is looking really good. The bad news is they think she might have a Club foot. The doctor told me it could have been the way she was laying because I am so far along. (Clubfoot is a birth defect that causes a newborn baby's feet to point down and inward. While clubfoot does not cause pain, it can cause long-term problems, affecting the child's ability to walk. However, if clubfoot is properly treated, the clubfoot deformity can often be cured in early childhood.) The only way to tell for sure is when I deliver her. I just hope all is well.

Oh my Trochanteric Bursitis

2009-10-29T08:05:00.000-07:00

Well it's been something different with every pregnancy right. Well this time it's my hip. It started a couple of months ago. As many of you know my health as not been super fantastic this pregnancy. And I have spent a lot of time in bed. What do you sleep on when you are pregnant? You ask. My hips. And the damage oh the damage.

I don't really think that the fact that I've been busting my butt to try and get my house cleaning done has helped in the least. Last night was agonizing to say the least. I could barley walk. I felt like a 90 year old women trying to get up and make it to the bathroom before my bladder exploded.

I just keep thinking that a couple of more weeks and maybe this pain will subside. Giving birth I know for me is such and amazing thing. I get my body back. I'm really looking forward to that this time.

I shouldn't complain I feel so blessed that we have been able to have our four beautiful babies. They are all so special to both Camron and I in their own little ways. So I guess I will stop complaining and try and look and the upside of this situation. Only a couple of more weeks to go. Then I will be begging to put her back in so I can sleep through the night again. Oh the vicious cycle we weave.

A little Reminder...

2009-10-21T20:50:00.000-07:00

I wanted to post this again. It was one of my first posts when I starting Blogging. But since #4 is almost here. I thought I would remind myself.

Before I was a Mom
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't Stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom -
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the
satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

This week hasn't gone according to plan!!

2009-10-21T15:08:00.001-07:00

WARNING LONG POST!!

Hello all. My last post I was talking about how excited I was to attack my house cleaning this week. SOOOO EXCITED!! hehe:) Anyway as many of you know Reese came home sick last Wednesday with a sore throat and stomach ache.

My OB appointment was last Thursday and my doctor told me to make sure to get Reese tested for the Flu. So off to the Doctor we went. The test was negative. But all the symptoms matched the flu. The doctor told me to keep him home till he could keep his temp down below 100 degrees without medication for 24 hours. So he didn't go back to school till Monday.

Sunday Camron and Daylen came down with it. My sweet husband who has no immune system at all. Catches everything the kids bring home. He was soooo sick. I felt sooo bad for him. He stayed home from work Monday and Tuesday. Daylen didn't get it as bad and stayed home only one day on Monday.

Luckily I have the most wonderful In-Laws in the whole world and they have taken Mason so he doesn't come down with it. I think I have had a light case of it but not to bad. But the point is that I haven't done anymore house cleaning. I'm getting really stressed about it. Because before I know it. Lily will be here. Hopefully things will start to get better and we can get everything done in time.

We bought Mason a mattress to go on the bunk bed in Reese's room. We are going to get him a dresser and move him in with Reese so we can get started on Lily's room. I'm so excited to get her room going. Here is a preview of what it will look like.

We are so excited. We are painting her walls pink and I was able to get the wall hangings and curtains that go with it. Camron is repainting the crib and changing table to a dark brown. He is already starting to spoil her. She isn't even here and he's already wrapped around her finger. It's so cute!! Hopefully Mason can come home tomorrow and I can get some cleaning and disinfecting done so I can start back on my house cleaning next week. I'm so grateful for all of the people in my life that care about us so much. Thank you Rob and Trudy for helping us with Mason. We miss him soooo much but we are so glad he doesn't have to get this yucky stuff we have all had. I pray that Camron can get over this without his Chrone's interfering. So far he hasn't had any problems with his chrone's from this. Daylen has been the least sick and I'm also thankful for that. I hate to see my kids so miserable. It breaks my heart.

Update: While I was writing this Trudy called me and told me that Mason has diarrhea really bad. She wants to keep him but is really stressed he might get dehydrated. I'm not sure if they will have him come home yet because we are all still sick. Hopefully he's not getting what we've all had. I'm hoping it's just from not being home that is causing it. They are going to the store to get some Imodium AD and Destine for his bum. I just hope he feels better soon. I'm not sure how I feel about him not being with me when he's sick. But with me also being sick it might be for the best. I miss him so much. I don't like being away from him especially this long. But I'm still very grateful for Rob and Trudy. They are the best and are so good with him.

Nesting

2009-10-18T18:48:00.000-07:00

It's official nesting has started. I've spent 7 hours today in my kitchen house cleaning. I took all the decorations off my kitchen cabinets and cleaned them. Wiped every nick and cranny. Pulled the fridge out and cleaned underneath that. Pulled everything out of my cupboards and wiped everything down. I'm done but now I have to start on the rest of the house. It's going to be a long week. I just hope I can get everything done before I kill myself in the process.

Meet Me in the Stairwell

2009-09-21T08:09:00.000-07:00

MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL
PLEASE READ TO THE VERY END, IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

'MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL'

You say you will never forget where you were when
you heard the news On September 11, 2001.
Neither ill I.

I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room
with a man who called his wife to say 'Good-Bye.' I
held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the
peace to say, 'Honey, I am not going to make it, but it
is OK..I am ready to go.'

I was with his wife when he called as she fed
breakfast to their children. I held her up as she
tried to understand his words and as she realized
he wasn't coming home that night.

I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a
woman cried out to Me for help. 'I have been
knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!' I said.
'Of course I will show you the way home - only
believe in Me now.'

I was at the base of the building with the Priest
ministering to the injured and devastated souls.
I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He
heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat,
with every prayer. I was with the crew as they
were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the
believers there, comforting and assuring them that their
faith has saved them.

I was in Texas , Virginia , California , Michigan , Afghanistan .
I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news.
Did you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew
every name - though not all knew Me. Some met Me
for the first time on the 86th floor.

Some sought Me with their last breath.
Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the
smoke and flames; 'Come to Me... this way... take
my hand.' Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.
But, I was there.

I did not place you in the Tower that day. You
may not know why, but I do. However, if you were
there in that explosive moment in time, would you have
reached for Me?

Sept. 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey
for you. But someday your journey will end. And I
will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may
be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are
'ready to go.'

I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

God
During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are
doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it
is only 1 minute.) All you have to do is the
following:

Stop and think and appreciate God's power
in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to
Him. If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the
instructions. Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of Me, I will be
ashamed of you before My Father.'

If you are not ashamed, copy and send this message...only
if you believe 'Yes, I love my God. He is my
fountain of Life and My Savior. He Keeps me going day and
night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do
everything. Christ is my strength.'

THIS NEEDS TO GO AROUND THE USA MANY TIMES SO

KEEP IT GOING

What's wrong with this picture?

If you look closely at the picture above, you will note that all the Marines pictured are bowing their heads. That's because they're praying.

This incident took place at a recent ceremony honoring the birthday of the corps, and it has the ACLU up in arms. "These are federal employees," says Lucius Traveler, a spokesman for the ACLU, "on federal property and on federal time. For them to pray is clearly an establishment of religion, and we must nip this in the bud immediately."

When asked about the ACLU's charges, Colonel Jack Fessender, speaking for the Commandant of the Corps said (cleaned up a bit), "Screw the ACLU."

GOD Bless Our Warriors, Send the ACLU to Iraq

May God Bless America , One Nation Under GOD!

What's wrong with the picture? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

GOD BLESS YOU FOR

PASSING IT ON!

I am sorry but I am not breaking this one.....Let us pray

Prayer chain for our Military...please don't break it

THIS NEEDS TO GO AROUND THE USA MANY TIMES SO

KEEP IT GOING

Such a change from when he was 2. I can't believe how big Daylen is getting. He begs us to mow the lawn. It's so cute!! We've decided we'll take advantage while we can. Because before we know it he won't want to do it anymore.

Nesting!!

2009-09-04T15:58:00.001-07:00

K I saw this cartoon on someone's blog and thought it was so funny. I feel like I'm starting to get the Nesting bug already. I feel like there is so much that needs to be done before I have this baby. But getting the desire to do it is another story. Right now I want it done but I don't want to do it. Well maybe in another month it will be different because with Mason month 8 was the month.

My Favorite day of the Year!!

2009-08-24T10:23:00.000-07:00

The big #9. Yes folks I have a 9 year old. WHAT!! Were did the time go. It seems like I was just sitting in the hospital waiting for my little guy to come. We are so proud of Daylen, he is the most amazing big brother ever and is looking forward to meeting his new sister. Daylen has recently gotten into Gymnastics and is busy with that 2 times a week. He is already getting really good. He is on the Level 4 team and I think will be moving up really quickly. We are so proud of him, and his coaches say he is really awesome and has an amazing natural talent for it. Daylen we love you so much Happy Birthday!!!

Consumed by a different light

2009-08-16T09:11:00.000-07:00

I have let my life be consumed by facebook. What is everyone doing. What do people have to say about their day. And oh don't even get me started on the games. Those stupid games. I find myself sitting at the computer every chance that I get. Farmville, Texas Hold 'Em (my fav.), ect. Well I've lost all my chips in Texas Hold 'Em and have been unsuccesful in getting them back. So I'm going to try and resist playing it for a while. I can't say that I'm going to stay away from facebook completly but I've chosen to maybe but it on the back burner and start up my blogging again. I've missed so much. I'm going to find my smaller camera and carry that one around. I haven't taken any pictures this summer because the big SLR is hard to pack around. I've neglected my journal!! So I will try and get everyone caught up with our lives as best as possible.

SwInG SeT!!

2009-07-18T22:41:00.000-07:00

Have you ever seen such an amazing swing set. Would you believe it's around 35 years old? This amazing piece of playground equipment resides in my parents back yard. Who built this? My Grandpa!! When my grandparents bought which is now my parents house nearly 40 years ago. The swings have had to be replaced but it has kept it's main structure. My grandparents lived in this house my whole life and this is the swing set that I grew up playing on. From my Mom and her siblings, to us grandkids, and now the great grandkids. Going on three generations. What a legacy to leave behind. My grandpa Barton was an amazing man. We love you grandpa and we are so thankful for you giving us such a wonderful gift. It's always been the center of the fun at grandma and grandpa's house!!

O.k. people-Why are we taking our summer vacation to Mesquite. Because Rob and Trudy (My In-Laws) have free rooms down there. Rob and Trudy took Camron's nieces Morgan, Abby, and Ashlynn. Along with Daylen and Reese down earlier today. Camron had to work today so we are heading down in the morning. I'm actually excited to head down and go swimming with the kids and just have fun. I hope it's relaxing. The girls have never been to Las Vegas so I think we might head down there for a day as well. The girls really want to see the Las Vegas lights. I will pack up the camera and hope to get some good pictures while were down there. I will post them when we get back. Until then....

I'm really sad to hear of Micheal Jackson's passing. He was a wonderful person who did amazing things. I wasn't going to post anything about it but you can't get away from the shock or news of his death. So it's been on my mind most of the day. I hope that his Family and close friends feel comfort in this difficult time.

Happy Father's Day!!

2009-06-21T21:59:00.000-07:00

I hope that my wonderful husband had a good Father's Day. It started out a little rough but I think after this morning it ended up turning out to be a pretty good day. We woke up this morning and I made Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast. We sat around and did nothing and then I had to lay down. Poor Camron was trying to work and take care of the kids. I felt really bad but I knew if I didn't lay down I wouldn't be feeling up to going to Camron's grandma's. Camron was awesome. After waking up we headed up to North Ogden. It was awesome Camron's whole family was there. Grandma, and Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Aunt's, Uncle's, cousins, nieces, and nephews. It's been a long time since the whole family has been together. All the kids are getting so big. And of course I forgot my camera. But Camron's cousin is hopefully going to send me some pics. When I get them I will post them.

Camron I just wanted to let you know how much I love and adore you!! You work so hard so I can stay home with our kids. Two jobs for that matter. He never gets a day off! He even worked on Father's Day. You are so wonderful with the boys! I pray every day thanking our wonderful Heavenly Father for giving my kids such and amazing Father! I never have to worry about the kids when they are with Daddy. You make having another baby exciting. I really am excited to have another one of your beautiful babies! Thanks so much for everything you do for all of us. We love you so much!!!

Jeepin and Rock Hunting!

2009-06-20T09:52:00.001-07:00

My Cute Husband hunting for rocks in Farmington Canyon for the flower bed in our front yard. The kids were really cute helping. It was really funny Mason just kept throwing the rocks down the hill. He hit Reese right in the back and left a huge red mark. It looked like it hurt. Naughty Mason!!

This is over at Kristin's house the kids were playing on the Jeep. Mason and Gavin loved it. The kids would drive them around. Reese got in with both of them it was so cute!!

Each kid will play two sports and either take music
or dance classes.
There is no fast food.

Each man must take care of his 3 kids;
keep his assigned house clean, correct all homework,
and complete science projects, cook, do laundry,
and pay a list of 'pretend' bills with not enough money.
In addition, each man will have to budget in money for groceries each week.
Each man must remember the birthdays

and send cards out on time--no emailing.
Each man must also take each child to a doctor's appointment, a dentist appointment and a haircut appointment.
He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient
visit per child to the Urgent Care.
He must also make cookies or cupcakes for a social function.
Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house, planting flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times.
The men will only have access to television
when the kids are asleep and all chores are done.
The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily,
adorn themselves with jewelry,
wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes,
keep fingernails polished and eyebrows groomed.

During one of the six weeks,
the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps, back aches, and have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain or slow down from other duties.
They must attend weekly school meetings,
church, and find time at least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.
They will need to read a book to the kids each night and in the morning, feed them, dress them,
brush their teeth and comb their hair by 7:00 am.

A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information:

The last man wins only if...he still has enough energy
to be intimate with his spouse at a moment's notice.

If the last man does win,
he can play the game over and over
and over again for the next 18-25 years
eventually earning the right to be called Mother!

Which one??

2009-06-11T00:21:00.000-07:00

It's been awhile since someone has sent me an e-mail and I've posted it on my blog. This one looked really fun. Thanks Frankie....

Which fruit will you pick if you were handed these:

1. Orange
2. Apple
3. Banana
4. Coconut
5. Pineapple
6. Papaya
7. Mango
8.. Cherry
9. Black Grapes
10.. Peach
11. Custard Apple
12. Pear

What is your pick??? (Pick before you scroll down... do not CHEAT!!!)

YOU

BETTER

NOT

BE

CHEATING!!

KEEP SCROLLING!!!

ORANGE - If orange is your favourite fruit, it speaks of a person who has enduring patience and willpower. You like to do things slowly, but very thoroughly and are completely undaunted by hard work. You tend to be shy, but are reliable and trustworthy friend. You have an aesthetic bent of mind. You select your partner with care and you love with all your heart, and not in for just a fling. You avoid conflict at all costs

APPLE - If apple is your favourite fruit, you are an extravagant, impulsive and outspoken person, often with a bit of a temper. While you may not be the best organizer yourself, you make a good team leader and are good at taking things forward. You can take quick action in most situations. You enjoy travel immensely. You ooze with charm when you are with your partner. You have an enthusiasm for life, unmatched by most.

BANANA - You are a softy! Loving, gentle, warm and sympathetic by nature is the banana lover. You often lack in self-confidence and are quite timid by nature... People often take advantage of your sweet temperedness,and sheer vulnerability to a situation. You adore your partner in every which way, both for their mental and physical beauty! Because of the way you are, your relationship is always very much in harmony!

COCONUT - The coconut lover is a serious, very thoughtful and contemplative person. Though you enjoy socializing, you are particular about the company you keep and value your friendships highly. You tend to be stubborn but not necessarily foolhardy. Shrewd, quick-witted and alert, you ensure that you are right on top of any given scenario,especially at work. You need a partner with brains, and while passion is important it certainly isn't everything for you. You are a very loyal partner.

PINEAPPLE - You are quick to decide and even quicker to act. You are brave in asking career changes, if that is what is to your advantage. You have exceptional organizing abilities and are undaunted by the size of the task at hand. You tend to be self reliant, sincere and honest in your dealings with others. Though you are not given to making friends very quickly, but once you do, it is for life. Your partner is often impressed with your sterling qualities but disappointed in your ability to show affection.

PAPAYA - You are truly fearless and take much that happens in life in your stride. You give considerable thought to things you do. You have a sense of humour that, along with your generous nature, keeps you in most people's good books. You are a go-getter in your professional life, and have a knack for being in the right place at the right time. You enjoy meeting new people and seeing new sights whenever you can.Your sense of humour is what attracts members of the opposite to you more than anything else. It is simply charming!

MANGO - A mango lover is a personality to be reckoned with; quite often,you are a person who has quite fixed ideas and influencing you is not an easy task. You tend to be an extremist with strong likes and dislikes, and at times even like to control a situation. You enjoy getting involved in something that presents mental challenge. Strong as you may be, you are like a kitten when you are with your partner. You accommodate the love of your life, and make up for all the strong will elsewhere!

CHERRY - If cherry is your favourite fruit, life isn't always as sweet for you. You often face ups and downs, particularly professionally, and find that you make small sums of $$$, instead of a lump sum. You have a fertile imagination and are often involved in creative pursuits. You are a very sincere and loyal partner, but find that expressing your feelings is not very easy. Your home is your haven, and you love nothing more than being surrounded by close family and your beloved partner.

BLACK GRAPES - You are a polite person in general, but do have quick flare-ups of temper that cool down just as quickly. You enjoy beauty in all forms, including beautiful people. You are very popular because of your warm, gregarious nature. You have a zest for life; you enjoy everything you do, right from the way you dress, to your style and your day-to-day life. Your partner must share your zeal and zing for life to really enjoy all you have to offer!

PEACH - Like a peach, you enjoy the juice of life and all its lush ripeness! You are the friendly sort, and are quite frank and outspoken, which adds to your charm. You are quick to forgive and forget; and value your friendships highly. You have an independent and ambitious streak in you that make you a real go-getter. You are the ideal lover, fiery and passionate but sincere and faithful in love. You don't, however, like to display all that passion in public.

CUSTARD APPLE - You are a modest and conservative person who can be quite sensitive at times. You tend to be thoughtful and contemplative, and therefore are rarely rash in doing things. You are quite ambitious and are good at anything that requires much detailing or working with numbers. You are quick at finding fault with others . While looking for a partner, you value a person's intellect far above their looks or good old passion. You are quite shy and not very comfortable demonstrating affection.

PEAR - If you put your mind to something you can do it successfully, but by and large you tend to be fickle and have trouble completing a task with the enthusiasm you started it with. You need to know the results of your efforts almost immediately. You enjoy mental stimulation and love to get into a good discussion! You tend to be a restless and high-strung person, and are easily excited. Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect! It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections!

1 in a Million!!

2009-06-09T21:14:00.001-07:00

This is a picture of my OB Dr. Durbin. Google Images works amazingly. I have the most amazing OB in the world. She doesn't take new patients. Because yes I have been going to her for 10 years and changing doctors has never been a thought. I think all her patients feel the same way as me. As some of you know I have lost about 60-75% of my hearing in my right ear. Dr. Durbin found this at my yearly appointment. Yes folks my OB found I was losing my hearing. My mom was going to her 10 years ago and begged Dr. Durbin to see me. Thank you so much MOM!! As many of you know I've been on the sicker side of this pregnancy. I had a scare this last weekend. I got really sick and went into see her last Thursday. I think I mentioned that it was a yeast infection. It got worse as the weekend went on. I called Dr. Durbin on Saturday morning and told her that I thought it might be a Kidney Infection. She told me that when she saw me in her office on Thursday there was no indication that it was. She said there was a 10% chance of it being a Kidney Infection. She suggested that if I started to fever and have more pain to go into the ER. Camron and I decided since I didn't have a fever to wait and see if it got worse. Luckily I started feeling better. The pain in my back went away and I never did get a fever. Sunday night we were out at Camron's parents having dinner and my phone rang. I could tell right away that it was Dr. Durbin checking on me. Yes folks my doctor called me to make sure I was o.k. This is why Dr. Durbin is 1 in a million. 1 who still looks after her patients. She has delivered all of my kids and will deliver this one. I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks so much Dr. Durbin for everything you do!!!

How many of you can say I LOVE MY FATHER-IN-LAW!!

2009-06-05T07:57:00.000-07:00

I have two Father-In-Laws and I love them both so much. I have to talk about Camron's step dad for just a minute. Why because he is one of the most amazing men in the whole world, o.k. next to my hubby. Rob has raised Camron since he was six years old. He didn't have any biological kids of his own so what Trudy gave him was what he got. He is truly the most remarkable and wonderful Grandpa to my kids. He's always there for my kids!! Him and Mason have developed a bond that I didn't think was possible unless he was your own child. He comes to pick Mason up a lot since I've been sick and takes him for the day. They go do whatever Mason wants. Which is to go see the trains of course. I told Mason he was comming this morning and he watched for him for a half an hour. Mom and Dad don't matter when grandpa's around. I'm so thankful for Rob and all he does for our family. He truly is a man to look up too! We love you Grandpa!!!

This might be an energy sucker??

2009-06-04T22:19:00.000-07:00

I don't like to blog about anything negative. And I hate when people complain about how bad their live is. I think to myself shut the H**L up and get over it. Well I've decided that the reason why I haven't blogged in awhile would be because I have nothing exciting to blog about. The kids last day of school is tomorrow. I'm not sure how the heck I'm going to entertain them all summer long. If anyone has any suggestion please leave me a comment. I'm still so nauseated and tired that I could curl up in the fetal position and stay that way the rest of my pregnancy. I will be 14 weeks along on Monday and I don't usually start feeling better till 18 weeks. 4 more weeks of this YUCK!!! I'm totally stressed about having 4 kids. I've had a yeast infection for the last month and a half and has finally gotten so bad I don't want to get out of bed. I went to the doctor this morning and she put me on some medication. She looked for the Heart Beat and couldn't find one. I was terrified. We did an ultra sound and the baby was fine. But I still don't know the sex and won't know it till the 15th of July. I'm hoping things will get better soon and I will have something amazing, fantastic, and exciting to blog about.

We are planning on going to the Air Show this weekend. I secretly have an obsession with Jets and not many people know this about me. I'm totally excited I just hope that I'm feeling up to it or I will be totally disappointed if I can't go :(. I really know why we forget how sick and miserable we are when were pregnant or we wouldn't do it again. Good thing they're so worth it. I'm so sorry for the venting session I know reading this from someone else I already know my reaction. GET OVER IT!!! I have to keep telling myself this. Please I'm not looking for sympathy I'm just letting everyone know what the heck has been going on in my life.

Team Edward or Team Jacob??

2009-06-01T09:19:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Reese!!

2009-05-29T22:19:00.000-07:00

Yes folks my baby is 7!! I can't believe it. They grow up so fast. Reese has done some awesome things in the last year. Him and Mason have become the best of friends. He's such a great big brother and he is always a big help. Reese I want you to know how much you mean to me. My load of energy!! We love you baby!! Happy Birthday!!

We Love You But.....

2009-05-15T10:46:00.000-07:00

Here is our cute little Pumpkin. We all love her so much. But when mom is pregnant she does not do well with animals around the house. We are trying to find a good home for little Pumpkin. She is fixed and Declawed on her front paws. She is very potty trained. Little miss Pumpkin loves people, and kids so much. She loves tons of attention which we haven't been able to give to her lately. Please if you know anyone who would be interested in our cute little Pumpkin let us know. Leave me a comment I will bring her to you if you would like to have her. Thanks so much!!

A LITTLE REMINDER!!

2009-05-13T11:57:00.001-07:00

I think sometimes we need to be reminded of how precious our little ones are. I know lately I've been struggling in the mom department. This song by Celine Dion is in my playlist to the right of my blog. I play it when I need to be reminded of how wonderful my kids are. They mean so much to me and I want them to know how much I love them.

This is a while coming. I've had these pictures for a couple of weeks now and haven't had a chance to post them. I thought I would put them in a slide show so I could share all of them. We had a really fun week!! Thanks Kristin for all the fun ideas. Sorry if being on the sick side put a damper on things.

You're so Grateful When

2009-04-14T17:50:00.000-07:00

You're so Grateful when:

You're stuck in bed and can't get up. And when your forced to get up you get a rush of nausea. You start looking around the house you realize the kitchen sink stinks, the house hasn't been vacuumed for a week. Your fridge has leftover food in it that you know won't get eaten. There is a mountain of laundry. You do further investigating and find the kid's rooms look like bombs have went off and your near tears. You feel hopeless you are so sick that even getting in the shower and washing yourself is a challenge. You give up and reach for the phone dial the number and at this point you're bawling. The voice you want to hear most answers and you can barley contain yourself to get the words out. She drops everything and comes to the rescue. Drives for an hour, brings you lunch and gets to work as soon as she walks in the door. Cleans the bathrooms, does the dishes, mops the floors, takes care of the baby, changes everyone's bedding, vacuums the whole house, and does 6 loads of laundry. I feel like the luckiest person for having the most amazing mom on the face of this earth I love you mom thanks so much. FOR EVERYTHING!!!

It went from a Bump Bump to a BUMP!!

2009-04-13T12:08:00.001-07:00

Yes everyone Camron thinks I'm nuts!! I'm only 7 1/2 weeks along and yes folks it's already showing. I have this itty bitty little person in me no bigger than maybe my finger yet my stomach is already showing signs of being a bump. The tow bumps in my beautiful large belly are starting to come together. WHAT??? I'm not ready for this yet! Why is it when your overwieght you seem to have to be in maternity clothes sooner?? Given I'm not in them yet but I just need to get them back from Amy. I was in Maternity clothes at 2 months with Mason. I can still wear my levi's but HELLO Maternity clothes are more comfy!! You have this huge waist band surrounding you belly in comfort. Anyway yes it's probablly my imaganation but I was hoping if I ever got pregnant again I would have lost some weight first. There is only one good thing about being overwieght and pregnant ONE GOOD THING. I only gained 9 lbs. when I was pregnant with Mason. I already had all the wieght there so I didn't need to gain any. Hopefully I will be just as lucky this time around.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!

2009-04-08T19:06:00.000-07:00

Yes folks today is a wonderful day! My mom's birthday. For those who don't know my mom very well she has got to be the most wonderful person in this world. She is always there for us when we need her. I don't think that I can express in words how I feel about my mom!! She has been such a help this past week with my kids. I've been really sick and she has been amazing!! Mom we all love you so much and don't know what we would do without you!! Happy Birthday!

It's Official!!

2009-04-03T17:23:00.000-07:00

Was it planned? No! Are we excited? Yes! Do we want a girl? Cam does I'm on the fence about it. when am I due? Nov. 29, 2009 give or take. How far along am I? 5 1/2 weeks. Are we stressed about having four kids? Yes!! Am I sick? Not yet give me about another week.

I'm so Excited!!!

2009-03-31T20:38:00.000-07:00

It's been found!! My blog from before all my old posts, but it has been converted to a different address. I went to my dashboard tonight and there it was. I don't know why it's back but I'm going to take it as a blessing and use it to my advantage! I'm thinking about calling blogger and seeing if there is anyway to combine them. So we will have to see what happens. I will keep you updated. Life is finally getting better!!

Oh my fountain!!

2009-03-31T11:33:00.000-07:00

A lot has happened in the past week. Yes I got a job; so blogging has been on the back burner. I'm hoping to get some cute pictures of the Salon and get them posted and tell everyone about it. But one of the main events from last week is that my sister was back in the hospital with sepsis. She has been so sick and we are all worried about her. The baby is doing amazing, but we ask for you to all keep Amy in your prayers. She went back into the hospital with a severe Kidney infection and then developed sepsis. She was in the hospital for about 4 days and is now staying with my mom. But on a happier note the kids and I went down to see Amy in the hospital and while sitting in the waiting room Mason found the fountain. Yes that is him drinking the water from off of the wall. It was so cute I had to take some pictures but it was also very disgusting needless to say he got quite the wash down when we got home. Oh Mason we love you!!!

Happy Birthday Ryker!!

EAT AT JOE'S

2009-03-20T21:31:00.000-07:00

I'm going to write this post in hopes that is doesn't sound like a commercial but I'm afraid it might come out that way. Tonight Camron met us at my sister's in Sandy to see Baby Zach! Well when we were done we decided to go to one of my new favorite places to eat. It's right down the street from my sister's. Thanks Lindsay you are awesome. We might have never tried this place. For those who have never been to Joe's Crab Shack is missing out. If you have kids this is the perfect place. The Sandy location has a playground inside of the restaurant. The playground is in it's own room so you don't have to worry about and it interfering with dinner. You can request a table next to the playground so you can watch the kids while you are sitting at the table enjoying your evening. Given it's not the quietest restaurant but that is another wonderful thing about it. If your kids are loud you don't have to get embarrassed. In my case this is definitely a must. If you know my kids you know they are LOUD!! It was such a nice evening we were able to enjoy our meal, and the kids were able to enjoy theirs too. Another amazing thing is that to go to a restaurant and everyone get something they like is another challenge for my family. But there is something on the menu for everyone. WHAT A JOY!!! Thanks JOE!!! Sorry the pictures are not all that great I didn't have my camera and so I used the camera on my phone.

This was so fun. As most of you know Mason is OBSESSED with trains. Last Christmas we took him down to Provo Towne Center to ride the train around Santa. He was terrified he cried the whole time he was on it. But as soon as he got off he wanted to watch it and didn't want to leave it was really cute. Here are some of his cute pictures.

The last man wins only if...he still has enough energy
to be intimate with his spouse at a moment's notice.

If the last man does win,
he can play the game over and over
and over again for the next 18-25 years
eventually earning the right to be called Mother!

After you get done laughing, send this to as many females as you think will get a kick out of it and
as many men as you think can handle it.

Getting cozy for a movie

2009-03-14T08:13:00.000-07:00

We rented a movie last night and watched it with the kids. It was so fun!! The kids sat and watched the whole thing. Camron picked it out. Cloak and Dagger from 1984. It stars Henry Thomas the kids from E.T. it was really good. Camron remembers watching as a kid and really liked it. I guess it took him back. What fun!!

I love Amy Lee. If I had a voive like that life would be great right? Sometimes you just want to escape your life and live in someone else's shoes. My pick Amy Lee. This is one of my favorite songs that she sings. I get goose bumps when I hear it. If we only could all be that talented.

This is a picture of Daylen and I. This poem was one of my first posts on my blog! I love it I hope you ENJOY!!

Before...

Before I was a Mom
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't Stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom -
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the
satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

I read NieNie

So this was my last post before I lost everything. I'm going to try and remember what I wrote about. I saw this button on a couple of my friends blog. The first time I saw it I went to the site but didn't think that much about it and didn't pay that much attention. Then as I saw it on another friends blog I thought maybe I should pay closer attention. NieNie is an inspiration. I look up to people that can take a tragedy in their lives and pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and keep moving forward. I know if something bad happened to me I would hope that I would do the same. We never know when life is going to change in an instant. Are we ready? Do we know what we will do? I think everyone would learn a life lesson from NieNie.

What Happened??

Yes everyone I accidentally deleted everything. My posts everything. And Blogger has told me there is no way to retrieve it. I have to rebuild from scratch. I made myself a journal blog a couple of days ago and decided I didn't need it so I wanted to delete it. But I found myself deleting the wrong blog. Now I have to start over. I'm going to try and remember my post as best as I can and recreate them. Give me strength. I'll be at this all day!!
