"30"

Yesterday I turned the big "30"! The day that is suppose to change your life forever, the

day that everything falls apart, tragedy strikes. There's so many people that are so

worried about turning 30, but I would have to say that it was an amazing day

for me. No tears rolled down my cheeks!:) And I got to spend the day with the

people I love the most, Clint and the girls.





We started off the night with dinner (tacos), then we whipped out the gingerbread houses.

I don't know what the girls enjoyed the most making the gingerbread houses or eating the candy before it

even reached the house. It was so fun to watch them make there's. Makayla wanted the most perfect house,

Kassi wanted to build one just like the picture on the box, and Dakota of course wanted

to lick and try every piece of candy there was for the house. The night was filled with

such love and laughter.

 Clint and I were suppose to be doing the house together but as you can see Clint was

handling it just fine all by himself so I let him do the work. The best part was watching everyone's

faces and how much candy they could eat without me noticing.:)

Here is the girls master piece! I think they did such a great job.

But after it was all put together the house came a tumbling down.....

Once it tumble all the way down they got such big eyes and asked me

can we eat the candy now! So sadly to say there was no gingerbread

house to be found after they were done with it.

 Here's me and my amazing man! What a great man he is, he has

treated me so great! When I ask for a back rub or a foot rub he is

always willing to do them. He is always willing to take care of me when

I need to be taken care of. He even bought me a dozen roses

yesterday. He knows how much I love roses!

And last of all.......

6 cupcakes...

Things "R" goin'

I can't believe it is this time of year again! It feels like

yesterday to me.....

Lately life is a little overwhelming and emotions are 

running high.... Man this boy has sure done 

something to me....

The past 6 months I feel extremely blessed, we have been

struggling with money so badly I had no clue what to do.

Stress was at a ultimate high and just thinking that we

had this baby on the way, just how are we going to

afford to buy anything for him? 

Christmas was even gonna not come this year.

Something had to change and fast. I didn't want

to see the disappointment...

We sat and prayed to know what to do? We have

made sacrifices that I know that we did not want to do 

at the time but we have been blessed greatly for our

decision. We sold the truck! Clint's joy, the

thing that makes him feel cool, I guess.

You know how men are in there toys!

Plus we have been giving to others. I feel like if I do

something great and amazing, in return I know I will

receive blessing for what I have done. Just being able

to make a meal for someone, give a little gift it

makes everything worth it. I'm full of lots of 

gratitude. I'm thankful for the blessing and for the 

wonderful family and friends that I have.

I have been extremely bless in my business I have been getting 

busier and busier. It always seems to come when we

need it the most. Truly truly greatful for my Savior.

 

Baby Update!

                   Just a little update on the baby. Well we went in to the paranatalist on Monday October 17. She asked me how many kids I have at home and what they were...... Our answer was of course 3 beautiful girls. Her response was OH WOW!  (We get that reaction a lot.) So are you wanting to find out the sex of the baby? Of course we do... what kind of questions are they asking us let's just get on with the show. The week before that, it dragged forever. I know I need to learn patience but who has that... Ha Ha! I just needed to know that sex of the baby and I needed to know it right then. Well the baby was squished right down to the bottom and in this weird position. It didn't want to move... Already stubborn I see. The baby must get that from his father. But the lady managed to sneak a peek and finding result was IT'S A BOY! I think Clint was going to have a heart attack, literally. Clint has always got the wrath of it all from his family about being able to produce a boy. I felt sorry for the poor guy. That day everyone had to make the same remark. Well Clint you finally got it right? I'm just glad that we will have this opportunity, but man will he be spoiled the only BOY! How I'm I going to do this? I guess there's a first time for everything. He's going to be so handsome.
           Everything else is looking great, I feel like he is growing so rapidly that my inside's are all twisted up inside me. He measures big but that doesn't surprise me, that's all I know how to have is big babies. Well they did find a cyst on the babies brain but they said that he will probably grow out of it. There's only a less then 1% chance that he won't. Dakota had the same thing but hers went away within time. I feel like he will be just fine and do the same thing. He's hanging out at the very bottom just waiting to come out the doc tried to get him to move but he is way to comfortable. Mommies not though. He's so low they had to check my cervix with the ultrasound machine. I guess they will let my doc know, I hope there is no bed rest. I've been taking it easy I even went out and bought me a big pillow to put in between my legs. Can I just say it is heavenly. Clint says he will be throwing the pillow out before it's all over but if he wants to keep his women happy he probably shouldn't.....HA HA. 
        Just a little info on how far a long I am.....21 weeks..... wow time is going so fast. Holidays are coming that I'm not ready for too.
         

Monte Valley

 HOLY crap! What pics should I post? I took 100 pics this last weekend and it was very hard to decide on what to post. I just love the moutains this time of year, I would have to admit it doesn't last long and then it begins to look ugly. But til then look at what I got to see, what God created for us to look at every year at this time. BEAUTY!

Utah has the best Mountains EVERRRRR!

Huntin' on Monte



I had to grab a few snapshots of

the girls with the beautiful fall

colors. We went for a walk on Sunday

just to snap a few pics. What a beau-

tiful time of year?

 

 Dakota never slows down, who knows what she is
doing in this pic. She is so cute though. We also had the girls sit in this tree that was dead it was pretty tall th only one that got nervous was Makayla, Dakota wanted to stay in it forever. She is to darn brave.
Cindy was so nice and watch the girls a couple of
days so I could go walk the trees with Clint. Yesterday we walk wasatch and wow was that straight up, but it was worth it. We could hear the deer all around us then all of a sudden 2 deer pop up and take off. Its so exciting being able to watch Clint hunt. No luck this year with a buck but next year me and Clint will be putting in for the Elk hunt! YAY! I'm so excited, it will be my first one that I actually get to shoot something.

13 Week Ultrasound

These are my most resent Ultrasound picture's from a couple of weeks ago.

the baby is doing great! It had its's hands up by it's face it was so cute!

Just to get you up to date I'm 16 weeks. Wow! time is going super fast. Next week I will have my next

Ultrasound they should be able to tell if it's a boy or a girl?

2nd Grade and Kindergarten

These picture's are from my phone forgot my camera but at least I took one.

This year Makayla has the opportunity to be taught by 2 teachers.

She loves both of them.

Mrs. Bonner and Mrs. Wood

Kassidee started Kindergarten

She loves it but man she doesn't do mornings but I would rather get

her ready for 1st grade. She loves her teacher Mrs. Thurgood and

enjoys going with her big sis.

Telling Parents

This is how we told the parents.....

(thanks to Julie's help)

 This is Makayla's shirt....

 This is Kassidee's.....

Here's Dakota's.....

BABY #4

Yep, as you can see there is a baby. Clint and I are expecting baby #4 March 8, 2012. This

was a very hard decision for me. I guess you could say that it took me 3 years to

decide this. I thought we were complete, I was happy with the 3 so was Clint.

But after all the fasting,praying and attending the Temple we came to the

decision that there was one more waiting for us. I was still pretty iffy, maybe I was not listening

to the spirit correctly so I waited and waited and kept getting the same answer.

I received my answer through a dream. I woke up the next morning and told Clint.

I guess even knowing the answer I was still scared and sceptical. I didn't want to

do another pregnancy I felt like I did my fare share. I have done 3 full pregnancies and 2

miscarriage's. So you see I don't like the stress of it. Worrying all the time whether the

baby's okay is not the most ideal. But then I knew I was going to be selfish if I didn't,

I didn't want to look Heavenly Father in the eyes and say I just didn't want to do it.

How selfish would I be? I could I pass up these amazing miracles.

July 2011

For 2 weeks in July I got to spend some time with my sister's

Amy and Julie. Amy worked most the time for the many of

you that don't know this but they moved up there (West Yellowstone).

Julie came to see the family for the whole month of July, Evan her husband

came too and stayed for 10 days so we were able to spend time with

the both of them.

I think we made some wonderful and amazing memories. The pictures I have

are the ones when we took a trip over to Wade Lake. It's a really pretty blue clean

lake that the kids loved to play in. We didn't pack there swim suits so yep

you do see them in there underwear and shirts.

Of course, we did other things. Some mornings we would wake up

and go play basketball with Braxton and Easton. Braxton had to practice so

why not against his mom(Julie) and his favorite aunt. We will not speak of

who won but we all know who kicks butt!

I could not resist taking this picture of these 2 together.

There the same age they are only 2 months apart. Look how

cute they LOOK. They play so good together. Landon just melts

my heart everytime I see him. He has come so far, one amazing boy

he is.

I wish I would get to see these 2 more often but it is what it is. I keep

telling them they have to move closer so I can atleast do driving distance. Clint and I

are hoping for next October to go out there and see them. We love and miss them.

Turning 3

Let's just say that a slacker I have been. I guess you could say that I have been to

busy to blog which I always seem to find time to do but lately I feel like there is no

time for blogging but I promise I will try to do better.

"TRY" that doesn't say much but what can I say busy, busy.

Well back on May 24, Dakota turned 3. WOW! my baby is sure growing up.

The last few months I have seen  a big change in her some good and

some bad, but mainly good. Where has my baby gone? Her face is no baby

face, she's getting taller, and her personality is amazing. Amazing but

wild I should say but with out her crazy personality me and Clint

would not have the wonderful memories that she has givin' us. She

makes us laugh conituously.

Wouldn't life be boring if none of us had childern? I 

love this little girl to death. 

She took forever to blow the candles out and she sure tried her hardest

to do it all by herself. It was funny to watch her. For some reason she was into Tinker

Bell this year for her birthday, so that's what her cake was. She also got a Tinker Bell

Beach Towel that she just had to have cuz it had Tinker Bell on it.

Dakota I hope that you had an amazing Birthday, I love you......

Easter

Well Saturday we started off the morning doing yard work. I always look

forward to this time of year, being able to enjoy the weather and putting

my yard back together from the long winter.

As the day went on we took our adventure inside, of course

making cookies. We do this tradition every holiday.

Never forgeting those amazing sugar cookies.

 Brynlee and Garrett were invited over to do this activity.

 The activity went super fast a little slap of icing on a couple cookies

and outside they went.

 Dakota was of course enjoying the frosting. I snapped

the perfect pic, caught in the act.

That night we went to Willie and Lou's for a night Hunt. We packed up

the flashlight's that we had and off we went. It was really fun.

The kids thought that it was a blast! I think we will have to continue

doin' the night Hunt.

After we finished the Hunt we stood by the fire and just talked.

 Sunday Morning I was awoke by a girl coming to my bed side ready

to go see what the Easter bunny had brought her this

year. (Makayla)

We had a great Easter!



Spring Soccer

Well lately my life consist of being a soccer mom.

Monday thru Thursday we spend our evenings at the soccer

fields. This is our first year to experience the adventure

of the kids playing sports.

 2-0

Makayla has played twice. Her team is actually really good.

With a  little practice she can become really good herself,

(I think will become a really good player).

I love to see her out on the field enjoying the game.

 Kassidee is starting to listen to her daddy's words.

" Get in there and push people out of the way and

kick the ball as hard as you can."

This last game that she played she took those words to heart

and got right in there. Good GIRL Kassidee!

 0-2

Unfortunately we have not won a game. But I think with the

next game right around the corner we might get lucky and

make a goal!
