Horoscope!

My horoscope said I would "turn heads with my beautiful words"... So I figured I'd blog... Not much to blog about, we have been painting the house since Monday night and I am starting to see an end to all this maddness!!! We decided to paint "the entire" house... Big chore! Peyton has been quite a trooper, she wants to help but instead she just entertained herself and made our lives a little less stressful! She is quite the girl. I'll post pics when the job is comlpeted. My life us great I couldn't ask for anything more!

My Monday

Today started out to be a slow day... I didn't really want to even get out of bed. I hit the snooze like 3 times and then decided I better get going... Work was good... I had all the ambition I needed to get things done. But part of me kept watching the clock... I had lunch plans with the girls for a friend's birthday. We met up at 11:45 at Pizza Factory... it was a fabulous lunch with beautiful people. I have some of the best friends anyone could ask for. After my 2 hour lunch I went back to work and I must have left my ambition at the restaurant... cuz I didn't have any anymore. So now I just watched the clock till it was time to go home. I was excited to come home for 2 reasons... my family and I knew I got to go see my friend Brenda and her family for a little visit. I truly had a FABULOUS night and couldn't have asked for a better evening or end to a day. My heart aches for my friend but knowing they are "healing" though their faith makes it somewhat easier for me. Peyton cried tonight because she misses her friend Rebecca and Rachel... it is hard to explain to a 3 year old that her friends are with her Father in Heaven but she will see them again some day. I cried along with her just remembering their little faces and their smiles... that truly melted my heart and those around them. I had a great visit and look forward to visiting them more. I love them with all my heart and my thoughts and prayers are with them constantly! Thank you to all my family and friends for all you do and who you are too me. Love Alway Forever No Matter What...

Ok Ok Ok... I'm so bad at this

Ok, so I honestly have to be the worst Blogger on earth. I think I get too "involved" with facebook. There have been so many things going on in our lives it is hard to know where to start. Christmas was AMAZING... we had all three kids for Christmas Morning which made for one early start. It was a great day that turned well rather boring with Chance and Kelcee being with their other family for the rest of the day... all in all it was a great day!

Valentines day came and Justin and I decided that we were going to get the kids something and that was it. I picked up a couple of cute blankets for the girls (which turned out to be a big hit) and some chocolate kisses for Chance. Peyton loved her blanket so much that she has replaced her "baby blanket" with her new "big" blanket. We spent the day in Bear Lake and just enjoyed time together as a family. The week before had been a "rough" one and we needed a little get away. Not sure if any of you knew but our little neighborhood had a tragedy hit. Our neighbors lost 2 of their sweet little girls. They were taken to the hospital with problems with their breathing and later died. They were the cutest little girls you have ever seen. We will greatly miss them and their smiling faces. Our entire neighborhood has been affected by this tragedy and will always feel their loss. Witnessing this tragedy first hand has given me a whole new perspective on life. I have made a few changes in my everyday life, I'm trying to be more patient with my kids and just hug and hold them a little tighter. My love for the Gospel and my Savior has doubled in size. My testimony of Eternal families has been strengthened through the testimony of the family. I know that Families are Forever... and I look forward to the day that Justin and I can take our little family to the temple and be sealed for Eternity. Life is short and there fore I will hold on to it with everything I have. When Peyton wants me to lay with her at night for just "a minute" I take that minute and maybe a little more... the dishes can wait the clothes will still be there when I am done. When I send Kelcee off to her mom's I hold on just a little more and give a few more kisses than "she would like". Chance gets hugs and kisses before he heads off to school and I hold on just a litttle tighter to my honey when he leaves for work in the mornings and when I get home from work in the evenings. Life is great! I couldn't ask for a better family and set of friends. I am truly blessed in my life to be surrounded by such an abundance of LOVE! To all my friends and family who read this... please know I love you all and feel very blessed to have you in my life. To my friends and family who have lost loved ones please know they are in good hands... and that we will see them again soon! Love to all and ((hugs)).... Just hold on to LIFE!
