My dad was very ill and in the hospital on her birthday. We made sure to stop by to see him and let the birthday girl give him a big hug. I also gave him a picture of her at her party.<br />
Some fun things about our 3 year old.......She loves chicken. I think it is her top favorite food. She loves to snuggle and she can't go to sleep without me laying with her until she does fall asleep. She likes to play with her barbies and play dress up with her sister. She is very funny and says funny things every single day. She is sensitive, She likes the color purple ( and almost everything else that her sister likes), She is not big on healthy food such as vegetables or fruit. She does love strawberries though. give her a plate of strawberries and chicken and she will eat like there is no tomorrow! She can't wait to go to school.........I however never want to send her. She is my side kick while Carson and Kylie are away at school. She walks with me as we drop them off each day. Most of all we love her with all our hearts, and couldn't be more grateful to be her parents. I feel more blessed than what I deserve, to have what I have!!! I love celebrating their birthdays with them, and I have as much fun as they do as the day arrives!Thanks to the keeper of the starshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13401204724845790595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-865333416640886426.post-28361340977031952412012-07-26T15:13:00.000-07:002012-07-26T15:17:19.743-07:00More winter fun<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Kylie had been really sick ever since we came home from Eastern Idaho. I really needed a fun night out. We had taken her to so many Dr. appt's and even ended up in the E.R one night. She had severe stomach pain that lasted for weeks. It was awful and I felt so sorry for her. :(<br />

The night Kyle came home from the hospital, he told me that he bought a dog for the kids for Christmas. I couldn't believe he did that. I was so so excited! His surgery messed up his plan of keeping it a secret. We told the kids before school one morning and showed them pictures of her. We then drove to pick her up about an hour away. It was such a fun day.</div>

They got to decorate these cute houses. There was a milk carton under them. Great idea! They also made me the cutest ornaments that had a poem attached and it made me cry.The poem was a tear jerker! They were so proud of themselves for making me cry over it. ha.ha. It was seriously the sweetest thing ever!<br />

On Christmas Eve we took the kids to our favorite theater that serves food. Kyle loves to do lots of fun things with the kids on his days off. I am so glad that he is such a wonderful dad and loves them so much. I know all these fun things will give us great memories that we call all look back on.<br />

We let the kids each buy presents for us and for each other. Carson picked me out these awesome slippers. I have worn them a lot and he is so happy every time he sees me in them. The funny part is that he can't keep a surprise a secret very well........just like me. He told me when he got home from shopping that he bought me slippers that were monsters. ha.ha</div>

I finally found a place that had flocked trees. I think they are so pretty. My little Carson was devastated that I picked out a white tree. He cried so hard, that the nice people at the tree lot offered to give him his very own small green tree. I was so thankful that they offered that, because my white tree was already loaded in the truck.<br />

Lex and Carson snuggling in his bed. I love to see how precious they are when they are sleeping. They look so innocent. ha.ha Carson is a sweetheart. At night sometimes he would say " I love you more than ice cream" and then I say I love you more than something else. Finally he found, in my opinion, the best way to describe your deepest love.........he said " I love you to infinity and beyond" (from toy story), and now we all say it. We tell each other that every night, and I hope we always will.</div>

And last but not least, my poor hubby had to have his gall bladder out. He had been having some miserable nights due to it. After having an ultrasound, the Dr. found a large gall stone in it and recommended that it be removed. Lexi and I went to hang out with him before surgery.<br />

When they call it "after Thanksgiving" that is what it means. Just as it is time to go to bed, the sales start! Melissa loves shopping as much as I do. We searched the adds during the day and planned our route. It would probably have been a nightmare without her there to keep me laughing. We waited in lines for hours, and we got some great deals. We didn't get home until 5:00 in the morning. That is what you call Shopping until you drop! We were pretty goofy and giggly at around 2:00, so we got a snack and geared up for some more. It was actually so much fun. I got to sleep until about 8:00 and then Kyle was ready to head to the mall to get tires on our car. I couldn't pass up another shopping trip. ha.ha I think I may have a problem!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEintXEtqpVnAEEFe2DeQTyb8CmLPTwtABJIdW1LHVFanxk6LpQBFalyiJfBi_gPtarUjtSYg4_Sj-LGyHgNwVLFLRc5TlRPvKOh6l7LztqnJyDphJlIuCYHKQM23HleCR4YLgH7xi9Hv2D3/s1600/IMG_0047.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEintXEtqpVnAEEFe2DeQTyb8CmLPTwtABJIdW1LHVFanxk6LpQBFalyiJfBi_gPtarUjtSYg4_Sj-LGyHgNwVLFLRc5TlRPvKOh6l7LztqnJyDphJlIuCYHKQM23HleCR4YLgH7xi9Hv2D3/s320/IMG_0047.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730216864440114930" /></a>Two days later was a BSU game.

The last few months of 2011 were very hard for my family. I found out in August that my parents would be getting divorced, which tore me apart. It really broke my heart. These are two people who together made my life beautiful from the moment they took me home from the hospital, and I just couldn't imagine things any different. I was literally sick over it. Two months after learning about this, my dad was diagnosed with cancer of the larynx. I really don't know how I held it together as well as I have. I just felt like maybe I had things too easy during my life, and now it was my turn to experience some really hard times for the rest of it. I went with my dad to his appt. and I was trembling as we heard the news from the Dr., yet I tried to put on a poker face, and act like I wasn't too worried and that he would be fine. I must admit that I did a dang good job that day. It was a terrifying experience....talk about hitting rock bottom. Anyways, he wanted to spend lots of time with the kids, because he knew that he would be out of it for several months to come. We did have a great time going to around the neigborhood.</span></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWIxI3uL1mUqrxJvR0Di9Sd3E2-XsmzWbVHd5xVUd0f-bPutonzOQTt26Ah30JbsrpbEBZytuVh6zqNbt_3_Tzu7zD4JOBHnYTIGAAvm_tXZn1KJBsT9JTkb7iYuT0j_Dld6vyQPkpkxzT/s1600/IMG_0013.JPG" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWIxI3uL1mUqrxJvR0Di9Sd3E2-XsmzWbVHd5xVUd0f-bPutonzOQTt26Ah30JbsrpbEBZytuVh6zqNbt_3_Tzu7zD4JOBHnYTIGAAvm_tXZn1KJBsT9JTkb7iYuT0j_Dld6vyQPkpkxzT/s320/IMG_0013.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724594655550643234" /></a><span ><span style="font-size: 100%;">Our awesome neighbors really get into the holiday, by dressing up like pirates and sitting around their fire pit.</span></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCwET27GLhDFRzrO2RQdeWqVz2VqE3fCVXKLGhsC5FpHvxmwhYFoE_eg-myJxB0M3PSYpdh9LzTuxR9-eTz5UGhUM_RBJcTsyzMIA_si7WHh3JZ-KfS92nhIWMp4R73ZTQplD9Iz-OLo9i/s1600/IMG_0010.JPG" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCwET27GLhDFRzrO2RQdeWqVz2VqE3fCVXKLGhsC5FpHvxmwhYFoE_eg-myJxB0M3PSYpdh9LzTuxR9-eTz5UGhUM_RBJcTsyzMIA_si7WHh3JZ-KfS92nhIWMp4R73ZTQplD9Iz-OLo9i/s320/IMG_0010.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724594641795988002" /></a><span ><span style="font-size: 100%;">I love how excited my munchkins get!

Her and I have so much in common. Our birthdays are exactly two weeks apart and we are the same age, our daughter's share the same birthday, we LOVE shopping and makeup, and we have a great time together. For her birthday I took her to lunch at Cafe Rio, where we can never get enough of their chicken salad! Then we went to have our makeup done at MAC. It was a fun day. Here we are showing off our makeovers, and trying not to laugh. It took a few tries to get a decent picture without us cracking up!

Kylie did too, because as soon as the teacher told the kids to say goodbye to their parents, she became very upset. I held it all in until I got around the corner in the hall, and then I lost it too. I felt so bad having to leave her when she was scared like that. Not to mention I just felt so sad that my little side kicks are now in school. I was also so excited for them. It was just a mixture of emotions. So again, thank goodness Kyle and Lexi were there to help me out! Kylie actually cried everyday of that first week. I got teary eyed the second day too, but I was good after that. She did fine from the second week on. I CAN'T believe how much they are learning and how smart they are!!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxFkWG70VziZFBGOGHivNK_WWxB9raBxuKok8bfn-yoJxWJY6hyphenhyphen1AR1iM6vC_wmEfaiDTiUVh_CwfkhQQ0I3rVjKU1Kn-Sb4WR3NatWFC6DaoVwUGD3jcKGRH6zWwRuZTHIuZEakhoi1fX/s1600/DSCF2018.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxFkWG70VziZFBGOGHivNK_WWxB9raBxuKok8bfn-yoJxWJY6hyphenhyphen1AR1iM6vC_wmEfaiDTiUVh_CwfkhQQ0I3rVjKU1Kn-Sb4WR3NatWFC6DaoVwUGD3jcKGRH6zWwRuZTHIuZEakhoi1fX/s320/DSCF2018.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674960790201028770" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxFkWG70VziZFBGOGHivNK_WWxB9raBxuKok8bfn-yoJxWJY6hyphenhyphen1AR1iM6vC_wmEfaiDTiUVh_CwfkhQQ0I3rVjKU1Kn-Sb4WR3NatWFC6DaoVwUGD3jcKGRH6zWwRuZTHIuZEakhoi1fX/s1600/DSCF2018.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); ">I couldn't be more proud of these little cuties!</span></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><u><br /></u></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtLysPlZ2KaX7P_JwlxxH37INWo2LTWVFLXFZ4xoNLMDPxfLycWu47n6-cDkiancF5DQlwk1QFE0WuQGL9jk5qglGgukQJkBmkO-9Zn6PkIB17cXg7w2nGgM18IVbK0hHEwVMLpMeq-GVj/s1600/DSCF2023.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwqyrZij9gPdFKZondEDIM6K0omdJ3PlJ6IF_4EMzK2AgV3jQAM0mJjGlFgAljhph8VsDPrMC3zPhJDPB0pFgClhzF1bCrlUIViTjLawZZ3JzjfcAy4KZ9pAB5ddbo1eUrSBbOpIJH8D3y/s320/DSCF2014.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674959476541790034" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;">Kyle was feeling pretty bad about the traumatic morning too, so he asked us to meet him for lunch after I picked the kids up from school.

The rocket ship was one of our favorites.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEY4hugsZvnjoi7NGETbIh4QfxIdcybcy4JFK8IPbTtnu9IqBR6PL60h0yt8ZIetNoC0QXFpwmOEC8kqBqp_7FtqzM32fFQrHZJ4X76KwIXCHRmFzJ78GdueCH4Y7PCrPJsAdGWQuTKunh/s1600/DSCF2037.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEY4hugsZvnjoi7NGETbIh4QfxIdcybcy4JFK8IPbTtnu9IqBR6PL60h0yt8ZIetNoC0QXFpwmOEC8kqBqp_7FtqzM32fFQrHZJ4X76KwIXCHRmFzJ78GdueCH4Y7PCrPJsAdGWQuTKunh/s320/DSCF2037.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674959461894676178" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGEVNT0RrlZGLb0jZf8TD-3fE_iCTwCaFZmwolUo99jKvDlJb5IDUph5aHAKD8RFEIXm_JM4E3D0-133pVD7T25QKC-wkBT6HaEJDkZMvWa5zjX1_jKXrx86mENziksdjSoS9Cf6f5VoxZ/s1600/DSCF2051.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGEVNT0RrlZGLb0jZf8TD-3fE_iCTwCaFZmwolUo99jKvDlJb5IDUph5aHAKD8RFEIXm_JM4E3D0-133pVD7T25QKC-wkBT6HaEJDkZMvWa5zjX1_jKXrx86mENziksdjSoS9Cf6f5VoxZ/s320/DSCF2051.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674959459661129906" /></a><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><u>It is always fun to see and ride the horse's in Kyle's parent's backyard</u></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5iWIoPe1nsPbxqc9F6xEOxAc_spZb3S28Y58Bm8NfQsIWsmjlkL8KqwdHtebTcNXssbY4P0l-RHar_KXMX9PpCWB5Gsf0FHmb8u7gQhyzUIuMNJhShz4I7FpTnM8N8akOZzFd4U0Zcb6j/s1600/DSCF2066.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5iWIoPe1nsPbxqc9F6xEOxAc_spZb3S28Y58Bm8NfQsIWsmjlkL8KqwdHtebTcNXssbY4P0l-RHar_KXMX9PpCWB5Gsf0FHmb8u7gQhyzUIuMNJhShz4I7FpTnM8N8akOZzFd4U0Zcb6j/s320/DSCF2066.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674957906274235138" /></a><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><u>and go for a spin on the four wheeler too</u></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSooFYxNt8RpNwIZ44iT-BwBvLhZddYGTRYudmURF4uiA3JwlLou8qkuN-iKn05AP9vjsUorV6Io3vLudJ-Gk8wyGyDS0OPhaqy-W0eQ0ZDl1vDYS4ggoHG7N6CxC9XoJ6d6tIoEEUNf3-/s1600/DSCF2074.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSooFYxNt8RpNwIZ44iT-BwBvLhZddYGTRYudmURF4uiA3JwlLou8qkuN-iKn05AP9vjsUorV6Io3vLudJ-Gk8wyGyDS0OPhaqy-W0eQ0ZDl1vDYS4ggoHG7N6CxC9XoJ6d6tIoEEUNf3-/s320/DSCF2074.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674957878308102738" /></a><div style="text-align: left;">and play with cousins of course!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitwX1rSNJ39O2M_8gbNKdnBm8lI-e85bx2CQaERl_Q2hi6qayXP7QduNrTw-w_vx3YAfpW9ff-JcqxIXQLngt9tSO0GGA_gsyeeavwmqZ1YZemN_RMWusGqFtI-dM2_rGOEvNWRUAZ8ZX_/s1600/DSCF2076.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitwX1rSNJ39O2M_8gbNKdnBm8lI-e85bx2CQaERl_Q2hi6qayXP7QduNrTw-w_vx3YAfpW9ff-JcqxIXQLngt9tSO0GGA_gsyeeavwmqZ1YZemN_RMWusGqFtI-dM2_rGOEvNWRUAZ8ZX_/s320/DSCF2076.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674957874963222322" /></a><br /></div>Thanks to the keeper of the starshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13401204724845790595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-865333416640886426.post-79119450954296940822011-11-11T08:10:00.000-08:002011-11-11T08:33:11.685-08:00<div>We had a rough couple of weeks after that last camping trip, but it seemed like we would at least have one or two days off in between the next person getting sick.

We sit across the street from it and hang out until it is time for the fireworks. We always have a lot of fun, and the kids love it too. They bring frisbee's and hula hoops and we have lots of snacks while we wait. We met some friends there, and some family too.<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdnhygiW7tAKxtr1ncZkiEcIVPyHrdjBbFI16hyphenhyphenBxp-EjTf_RMzd0tKJNdCc_FbLqwAeVbRRoyODZ9UtKY_RagJbb11vfzsdsh_9c2z105bLNaPNG8ZGoVMrUvxqaOV0yQlTHTePE5Q9N7/s320/DSCF1423.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643698380773156578" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /><div style="text-align: center;">My friends Melissa and Keri</div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK9FPc2HkrQfgkl4UBDMV8GasMC68ysAxJ9NYL7H-X-ukv9OOo2UWELUVnPkhXKOvgAwGSG-WV_nrmhpGXq-obla_wYB3OOvKRGcl24KyzmznNnaeQMqGvcGzp2YiZyjz9iYSxgu7pphRV/s320/DSCF1425.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643698392594744130" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /><div style="text-align: center; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCahkMNq0msI8bwMx1yW3yj0C9GTqXbYeLzaePG6-O0XYbQdzJE59fxxoPGCgrCN6321FBOQrEB3hY62e_5kmwbRQl0pLOYf8tZstWAzCMWqcjcPLnbOpKVO2STDTN_nfcu3LtMczvIZe-/s320/DSCF1424.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643698386188582002" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG-C-5fe7Mlx3jctA8y7ZeJJJTEELEc8c3kKcewnT6CqdewNPookkZNpVm0uUIx9QKJ-B3UEBFt7piEFGTJBPEw55nuADkD17wEHUfOn4OdmtMRPzqjh2Tl56kJiVznQ4wk9mtT82c5Mfz/s1600/DSCF1524.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG-C-5fe7Mlx3jctA8y7ZeJJJTEELEc8c3kKcewnT6CqdewNPookkZNpVm0uUIx9QKJ-B3UEBFt7piEFGTJBPEw55nuADkD17wEHUfOn4OdmtMRPzqjh2Tl56kJiVznQ4wk9mtT82c5Mfz/s1600/DSCF1524.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2tiq2ratICWNz5_6_EA2ufP8rsW-C4ZKSu4YbnNrLVqEZnDzKhi-nAgUVjPQCqpTqqaqyiP5NIn2Eiowcmc95Y0VPAxRxVgfDFHXvQvmeJlwECHNJ0FgJir_W7KWpKNv3I9LX8LHGKGRb/s1600/DSCF1528.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2tiq2ratICWNz5_6_EA2ufP8rsW-C4ZKSu4YbnNrLVqEZnDzKhi-nAgUVjPQCqpTqqaqyiP5NIn2Eiowcmc95Y0VPAxRxVgfDFHXvQvmeJlwECHNJ0FgJir_W7KWpKNv3I9LX8LHGKGRb/s1600/DSCF1528.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifP85RImaArleDuRBQ_4eEkPHPBngCoRtcPTzDoU9Anw1K0ISFPJ46e_hNVJHXd4hdyHq6U8zHlaJk7SfkXp08TmBb6q-K7guIKHOf7R4o1tOaQVpJfjZvfuNmtFYguxgcq1tzu0g83sbQ/s1600/DSCF1532.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifP85RImaArleDuRBQ_4eEkPHPBngCoRtcPTzDoU9Anw1K0ISFPJ46e_hNVJHXd4hdyHq6U8zHlaJk7SfkXp08TmBb6q-K7guIKHOf7R4o1tOaQVpJfjZvfuNmtFYguxgcq1tzu0g83sbQ/s1600/DSCF1532.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1AjD2ug84MI-co10iJtKNhH_uyslLfCv2c_HVM7foGpnnukBq-IBiJSQa7C2ua-uQBmjhr-p5M11cvxw7FM4sGb1HYial8krMZnsquC04Ux3aJsbnMSOFO5g7Dm8fnUB9gzcTfWml12XQ/s1600/DSCF1534.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}">T</a>hen for the fourth, we went to a parade.

My friend Audrey is having a baby next month! One of the reasons for our trip to California was so that I could go to her baby shower.<br />

Sandra, Diana and I. Sandra is another reason for my visit. She has been fighting cancer for over a year now, and she is still giving it her all. She has a bone marrow transplant scheduled for next month. I am <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">SOOO</span> proud of her. Words can't even express how proud. She looks beautiful and does her makeup everyday, dresses up everyday, and most importantly she has the best attitude about everything. I know she has her moments of break-downs........but who wouldn't. She is amazing and I really admire her. It sucks not being able to be there for her more right now, but I am so thankful for technology and the opportunity it gives me to talk to her often. We had a wonderful time. We talked and laughed and even forgot about what she is going through for a little bit.......which is priceless! </div>

On the way there we had a soda spill and leak all down the isle, on the way home I couldn't find my boarding pass ( the kids had a meltdown a few minutes prior to getting on........it's amazing that I was able to remember what my own name was after that! ha.ha. Then we had a couple of gift bags filled with small toys and it ripped when I picked it up, so I transferred it to another bag which also ripped..............really??<br />

Kylie and Carson graduated from pre-school. A few other moms and I took turns teaching the kids at home. Kyle was impressed at how much they learned in this short amount of time. They both can write their name and they know the alphabet along with the phonics of each letter. We went on several fun field trips and made lots of fun crafts.

Kylie and Carson really blossomed, and it was fun to watch them make friends and learn so much in such little time. These were their questions and answers..........<div><b>Favorite Color?</b> Kylie: Purple, Carson: Blue and Orange ( I am sure that has nothing to do with BSU) </div><div> <b>Favorite Food?</b> Kylie: hot dogs, Carson: Macaroni and cheese </div><div><b>Favorite thing to do?</b> Kylie: Color, Carson: go to Disneyland </div><div><b>Favorite thing about preschool?</b> Kylie: Writing letters, Carson: making stuff </div><div><b>When I grow up I want to be? </b> Kylie: just like my mom, Carson: a shooter</div><div>The last answer was my favorite. I am sure Kylie will want to be something more exciting than just like me, but I couldn't ask for a better compliment from her. That is the nicest thing she could ever say. Melted my heart for sure! And as far as Carson's answer................I am not so sure how I feel about that one. ha.ha. </div>Thanks to the keeper of the starshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13401204724845790595noreply@blogger.com2
