HELLOOOO!!!!!

So the summer is coming to an end, and it is crazy how fast it's gone. My kids went to school for the first day, and I felt completely depressed, and panicked. This is a whole different ball game. Where is my life of purpose?!! Luckily Ashlyn has only half days, I can concentrate on me, and where I need to be, but I'm not used to that I thought I would be screaming FREEDOM, But no I want to sit on the ground, and BAWL!! Such different emotions running through me. I really need to focus on the good things like, I can go to lunch with a friend without screaming children running around the table. I can got to a store with glass in it, and not have to say, don't touch ten billion times. I can work on my book I have alway's wanted to write. I can go to lunch with my husband. I can go to the gym without a time restraint. I can work on my house that has gone to pot. I can volunteer once a week at the school with my kids. AHHH!!! This is what I needed there is lot's for me to do, in really little time so that is what I will focus on!! I'm not looking forward to next year!!

I'M 3 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is Ashlyn taking my picture!!! I am officially 33 years old!!!!!!! 33!!!!!!!! That is insane I am SOOOOOO old! But I actually feel younger than I did in my 20's, maybe it's because I am not a baby making machine anymore!!!! I truely feel more myself than I have in a long time, I'm getting that spunkiness back again, I just really love life!! I don't feel like i'm in a fog anymore, because let's face it you are in a fog for years, that what happens when you have babies you lose yourself in the service of your children, but you get soo much in return it's worth it. Now I am in a different phase, and it feels good. Not that your not serving you are just not sleep deprived!!! Boy that makes a difference!!!!!!

Preston!!!!!!!!!!!



We bought my father in -laws boat this week, it's the same boat Trent had since after his mission, so it was sentimental, and his Dad was selling it, and we owed him money anyway!!! It was a great payoff!! Now we can play for the rest of the summer, we are sooooo excited, we feel panicked to get as much fun in as we can, before school starts!!!!

Preston!!!!!!!!!!!



My brother in law Dorian, and his family are living with my in-laws right now, my kids LOVE them they are all the same age, as you can tell by the pictures they don't have fun or anything!!!!

July 24th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



We went to Preston for the 24th, and they had a horse there to celebrate Brinleys b-day!!! My kids thought that was THE coolest thing in the world!! It's so cute to see the different personalities!!!

The Match of the Century!!!!

I wish I could do this every time they were fighting!!! That's what Trent's Dad would do, they would start fighting, and he would say put the gloves on!!  Mimi, and Ash had a blast!!

And life goes on!!!!!


This is the first time that April has been out of the house in about two months!! For those of you that don't know she, and he girls have been living with me for a couple months, my mom and dad are also staying here until they build their house. April just had her third baby, and had an emergency c-section, then she got infected, and had to go back into the hospital, she is also going through a divorce!!! She is THE most amazing person in the world. Our family has truely been blessed having them here. My mom and I feel like Mary, and Martha. We take turns with who gets the baby, and helps her with getting up and taking meds. I honestly feel like this home has become a house of healing, it has been elevated, and everyone has stepped up to the plate, even the youngest. Trent loves it he feels like a POLYGAMIST!!! My parents are amazing with my kids, and we have enough space that we are not stepping on each other. They will be here for another 6 months so, we will have lot's of time to bond. It really has been awsome!! I will miss them when we go!!
