Catch UP!

2011-11-01T13:04:00.000-07:00

This is what my life is about! It never is about staying on top of things, it is always playing catch up. From the bills, laundry, the blog, homework, date night, car cleaning, the salon, all of it. If one thing would stay caught up on I would be in heaven. So clear from March this is what has happened with are family!

MARCH
Ty and I had our 6year wedding anniversary which was great! It was my year to plan so we went to Salt Lake and stayed as the Little America for the weekend. First we stopped at Color Me Mine and made a Mug that says DAD and a Plaque that says Messes Make Memories, because that is what I always try to tell my self as the blankets and stuffed animals are being pulled from every knock and cranny of the house. After Color Me mine we went to Smart Cookie and grab some Sugar cookies for the night, went and checked in, went to Pizza Factory and then to Kingsbury Hall For Romeo and Juliet the ballet hip-hop(He was a good sport for going with me that is not his favorite) When we were there we saw Cher and Matt they were there for their anniversary, we sat by them for the show it was so much fun.

Broden has been taking speech help from Kids on the Move and it has helped tremendously. I hope that it will continue to help.

Rides Home From Getting Daddy

2011-03-04T08:26:00.000-08:00

SO the last two days have been kinda fun! On the way home from picking up Ty we were all repeating lines from Mega Mind (Love this show) Ty ask Tegan do you know what LOL means, because my favorite line was "LOL Smiley face!" He said he did not. So Ty proceeds to tell him that it means Love You Lots. I busted a gut! I said do you know what LOL means and he then thought for a min. and said why would they use a O instead of and then it clicked. ("Light bulb!") anther one of my Favorite movies (Despicable Me!) I said it means Laugh Out Loud and LUL means Love you Lots. It was Funny! Then the next day we had to take are car in to get it fixed there was a recall on it so thank heavens i did not have to pay for it. But we were able to get a loaner car to drive a really nice Kia Berrado I loved it! It made me miss my Kia Sorento so much. But like Ty said do you want to end up in the same place we just got out of. No I don't but it sure would be nice! I will just work really hard to get the car I want one day! But for now I have a car and it gets me and my family where I need to be. The lord always works miracles to make you smile again.

Parenting Trying Another Way

2011-03-01T21:48:00.000-08:00

Maybe I will find a way!So I read this book on parenting called Love and Logic. I really loved it! I had heard from a patient when I work and Dr. Pitts office that it was a great book. I thought well maybe one day I will need that, well that day has come. Sooner then I thought actually. So yes I have been using this way of parenting for about a week. I think it is working because it is getting harder before it gets easier so I hope I am doing something right with it. I seem to not get so upset and seem to not be yelling as much. (shocked I know we don't yell here at our house do you at yours?)

A Day of Frustration and Love

2011-03-01T21:26:00.000-08:00

Today was full of the ups and downs of parenting! Of Tegan showing me he is a big boy and getting up and ready and eating all of his breakfast without me having to remind him at all. Then coming home and rushing around the house clean microwave, self clean oven on, washer loaded and going, Broden dressed(even when he did not want to and I had to chase him to get him!) Grandma Great coming to get her hair done was great she went red it was so cute on her! I hope she likes it. Me getting Tegan off the bus, He tried to tell me that his friends mom was not home so that he needed to come to our house! Silly kid I know his mom they were home! Came home finished grandma's hair and she made them a corn dog, because they were fixing it by them seleves cooking it in the Microwave at 21min long ( I think they were done)
Grandma went home and Teg had been playing the xbox( I hate that thing right now) He did not listen and was yelling at me, ty called said will ya come get me yep, changed a stink bum and left, tegan still mad and lecturing me the whole way! (Frustration) Dad gets in car, hears teg doesn't say much then stop please, Me (frustrated say something dad), get home I need to get dinner done before hair comes so I can eat, Potstickers and rice yum! Ty helps, teg yells about chores and homework some more, I yell (frustration), cut hair, help with homework, he chooses to yell at me I walked away. He came and we did homework and he did great(LOVE) Tub, and boys laughing and playing(LOVE), Mom came and looked at my tree (I will post later) Boys played and laugh with fam! They love breena and bryan! Scriptures and prayers, water spills after being told to sit still listen and stop! Dad's upset, puts his foot down me (finally), then teg crys we feel bad and explain to help him understand! (LOVE)!

Congrats to My Hubby!

2011-02-09T11:10:00.000-08:00

He received a promotion at work a couple of weeks ago! So he is now the lead installer for Magleby Companies Cabinets. He was working on the framing crew, and was ok with it, but he would have much rather been doing this he loves detail and is so good at it! He will now be the one to read the plans and make the calls instead of being the go for... guy! GOOD JOB honey! I knew you could do it! You just have to work hard and believe in your self! LUV YOU!

Happy B-day to Mom!

2011-02-09T10:54:00.001-08:00

It was in January but we had a fun time. It was her 50th b-day, last year we did a party and this year it was just our family. It was fun! We went bowling and play games at Jack and Jills in Lehi, then had cake and Ice Cream at her house. Sabreena made a Wrangler Bum cake, we tried to make it black, but it was more of a gray color! Thanks for being a great mom , I wish you the best this year!

Life changers!

2011-01-27T11:29:00.000-08:00

Ok so real fast before Tegan gets home I have to share three things that have changed my life.

1. Deals to Meals! Amazing blog about food storage and she makes your meauns each week for what you are going to eat with the deals of the week. The food is AMAZING! She is so worth the 4.95 a month I pay to get the grocery list and menu! I save so much money in food items and it is so much easier to shop for it!

2. Freebies2Deals tarted couponing last year because of her and she has made it so easy and fun I am addicted! I have so many free good shavers! And we got good deals on circus tickets last year!

3. FHE for a year! Love this every Saturday or Sunday she post the lesson. Its all there activity, lesson song and you just print, share, and comment about her site and it makes FHE so easy! The boys have really liked it!

Thanks to all these fine folks my life has been simplify a ton! I get to do the things I love and still spend time with the family!

Check them out they might just help you change your life!

The daily moring routine to get to the bus stop!

2011-01-27T09:34:00.000-08:00

"Teg you have 15min before my alarm goes off, you better get ready, your going to miss the bus."
Tegan, "Is it friday?"
"No, we have ___ day till friday."
"Oh ok when I get home can I play Halo"
"You have to"
He interrupts "I know I will do my homework , I know I know geeze"
"Not everyday is a game day, you play way to long when you play."
Nothing from him.
"Teg come eat please are you dressed yet you have 10min before my alarm goes off"
"Ok can you help me with my...."
"Yes come here, Where is your...."
Watch T.V a little longer.
"Teg I am going to shut that off if you don't hurry. My alarm just went off, are you done eating?"
"Yes, but I didn't brush my teeth!"
"Hurry Tegan you are going to miss the bus, you need to get up when I ask buddy, this drives me crazy!"
"Do I have to do my hair today mom?"
"It would be nice,but we don't have time, get you jacket, your gloves are in the bag, don't forget to turn in your.... hurry get in the car."
"Mom its a van."
"Oh sorry, the van"
Driving to the bus stop
"I hope we didn't miss it"
"I don't see anyone walking mom, oh there they are, we didn't miss it."
Waiting for the bus with 2min to spare
"Mom when you turn 21 you are old."
"Really"
"Yep and when you are 26 you are really old."
"Dad is 26"
"He is not going to die is he?"
"I hope not!"
"Oh there is the bus!"
He scrambles for the door every time and it is always locked. Is is like the bus is only going to open the door for 2 seconds and I am going to have to throw him on it.
So then I scramble for the unlock button to get to it by the time he says
"MOM geeze open the door, I going to miss the bus!"
"Bye have a great day, be good, listen to your teacher. I will be" slam door "when you get back and we will." Uh never mind I am done.

Early Mornings

2011-01-27T09:10:00.000-08:00

We are a one car family, we sold both of our cars to help with our finances and got a minivan I know, but it has been nice with the kids not like I have enough to feel it but hey it works. I am getting off the subject. Anyway we are hoping with our tax return we might be able to get another one, but for now this is what we do. We have been taking Ty to work early, packing the kids up and going to Lindon. Not that far, but getting them in the car, with their dead wait sleeping bodies is giving me strong muscles I guess. For a little while Ty had to be there by 10min to 6:00am so I was getting up at 4:45 to make sure we left by 5:15am, because the group he carpooled with would leave if you were not there on time and then I would have to take him to Bountiful( never had to do that, but did not want to.) I have really enjoyed our morning drives together, even if we don't say anything but hold hands, it has made me realize how much we need each other, even when I still have to drag him out of bed to get him there on time and am waiting in the car with the kids. But he at least say thanks for making his lunch and things he has noticed I did that night before. In the silence I at least know we are in this together. Which I have not felt that way for a while so the effort has been noted and seen. That makes me feel like I am good for something after I have been waiting for him in car in the early hours of the morning. Love ya sweetie! We now get up at 5:45am to be there by 10min to 7:00am much better! Tegan hated it first, Broden did not care. Tegan now says are taking dad in the morning,night. Because he can't decide if it is moring or night when we leave and get back.

Fun Saturdays

2011-01-16T10:24:00.000-08:00

The last two Saturdays Have been great for the Fam! Two Saturdays ago the boys and Ty went Ice Fishing at Strawberry with Grandpa Franc, Ben, Jer, Jordan, Rion, Logan and Grandma Franc. They Said they had a blast. I stayed home and worked from 10:00-5:30, but it was a great day. Brodens little face was so red and chapped, but he said he had fun! Jordan stepped in a hole they had drilled, I asked Ty if it was cold for her he said I don't know we didn't worry about it. But she still has a foot so I guess it wasn't like frost bitten or anything.

This last Saturday my friend Cherie, moved her nail stuff down to start doing nails from my house. I am really excited to have her here and I hope it all works out for her. We went to Del taco for Lunch (there went the diet when I ate the fries, but I will burn them off tomorrow I hope.) At Del Taco Broden was to short to get up the playset, so we told Tegan to kneel down like a Lion and let him stand on his back to get up, there was like four steps he had to do each time he did and did not complain once. They played so good and just helped each other out. They really do love each other! Then we went to Target while the boys went to Home Depot, because we were getting a mat for her chairs so the did not scratch the floor, and they were getting stuff to paint her desk and bathroom. We had decided that as long as we had been friends we had never been shopping together. So crazy, we both are on a budget and feel guilty so we just don't go. But it was way fun! The Bathroom is finally painted. (I will post some pictures when I get it decorated) Ty said now I don't have to hear about "When are we going to finish the bathroom?" My response was "Well you should have done it sooner and then you wouldn't have had to listen to me ask!" I am way excited! They stayed for dinner (which was pizza another thing to burn off) and then we set up her stuff some more! They are such great friends and have always been there for us I hope one day they will need us to do more stuff for them, because they are always helping us out in some way! Thanks Jim and Cherie we love ya!

This Saturday Ty made Hot Chocolate and Toast, Broden eat it just write and made him look like this!

New Year New US!

2011-01-16T10:15:00.000-08:00

We went to the Cabin for New Years and had a good time. The snow was crazy out of control. My brother in law built a snow cave at Thanksgiving time, and it was covered by at least 4ft of snow! It was fun! Broden was asleep but Tegan was awake, because he wanted to do fireworks! We watched movies and had food as always! Tegan I think played Video games for like five hours(I know bad mom), he loves it and it was New Years! As the New Year came I felt a since of peace and energy come over me. I still feel it to this day I am so excited about things and feel I have more motivation to do things. Here is to a good year of doing what the Lord has in store for me, not what I think the Lord should give me!

OUR Christmas Magic

2011-01-11T09:07:00.000-08:00

This post is dedicated to all my tender mercies that happened this holiday season. This year will be a year I will never forget, the Lord has been by my side at times when I could not see him, holding my head above water more then once. It all started out at Thanksgiving time, we were up at the Cabin and we have always had a living tree, not a plastic (hey if you do it is ok!), but we have a 3ft tree fake tree that we let the kids decorate, this year that was going to be our tree. We were sitting at the table at the cabin eating some lunch and our neighbors came by they had an extra tree permit and asked if anyone over here would want one! Ty jumped up and said "YES! We would!" and said quietly " If no one else does". He went outside to get it from the man I went a shook his hand, He said "I didn't know that a tree was that big of a deal!" I told him "You have know idea". Blessings come in all different shapes and sizes ours came in the shape of a tree! I had a hard time getting into the Christmas Spirit so it did not get decorate til Christmas Eve but it was done.

We have had gift cards in the mail from anonymous people, with great messages on the cards and some even left at our door. Thanks the gift cards helped with so many things from food to items needed! Thanks you so much!

Next My mom told me that someone wanted to be Santa for our family this year. I had no words and was amazed to see what they had done for us. It will never be forgotten and one day I will be able to do this wonderful, amazing life changing experience for someone else who will be in need. Thank you to whom ever you may be one, or many, you will never understand what warmth and joy you have brought in to our family's soul, because of your willingness to give to someone in need. We are so eternally grateful. It has brought hope, love, faith, peace, and gratitude back into our home and hearts. It has made us look to this new year with a open heart and mind and feels as if there is a lightened load. Thanks!

Next was Santa showing up at our home, with a bag full of goodies and two airplanes and candies for our boys. Tegan talked to him and Broden was asleep I was at my in-laws working on Christmas presents for the boys which I will show later. But he wanted to check in on us and say hello to the boys! In the bag was flour, sugar, brown sugar, choc. chips, oil, and many other goody cooking things. Candies, homemade goodies, and two envelopes to Tyson and I. Which contained some gift cards and letters to us. They were from a family who had gone through some of the same things we had been through and wanted to share their feelings with us. Each letter nailed to a T how me and Ty were feeling as individuals and as partner and as moms and dads, I still read this letter and it gives me courage to fight my battle, the effect of this will last a life time and generations to come.

Next me and the boys had gone somewhere and come back and Tegan says mom who is that present for. I said what present, on a dresser in the garage was a box that said to Tegan and Broden do not open till Christmas, So we put it under the tree and waited Christmas morning we let the boys open it and WOW it was a Nintendo DS with a game I could not believe it. My boys have enjoyed it and even shared really well. Thank you this has made me see that it is fun to have those kind of gadgets, I have forgotten with these hard times that kids need to be kids and have kid things to. Some of theses things are what makes growing up so much fun, Ty has enjoyed it to!

One night I came home and the light is out in my garage I went to go up the stairs and ran into a box, a heavy box. We don't have a garage door opener so we leave it open when we have to go some where quick. I knocked on the door to have Ty come and get it because I could not lift it. he said who did this I said I do not know did you hear anyone. He said No, so we brought it in side and in it was a whole dinner for our Christmas Eve , Turkey, homemade rolls, potatoes, stuffing, tootsies rolls for the kids, pumpkin pie, cool whip, salad you name it. It was all there. We shared with my mom and dad because we would have never ate it all. This will be a tradition in our home. It was so nice to sit around the table with each other and enjoy a meal that had so much love feeding our soul.

I know there was so many more things I did not see, but I sure felt everyone's prayers and love this year. Thanks to everyone who ever you maybe and know that you are thought of and prayed for daily.

For Christmas for Bonnie and Jim we had the grand kids pictures taken at PhotoFly in Draper, They did a great job for so cheap! Then we had each couple and kids write a letter to them and it was just suppose to make it look like a bow on top, but it looked like a tree because of how many people we have in our fam! It was fun to make and easy!

The Budget

2010-10-24T21:42:00.000-07:00

Well we have been on a tight budget, but I feel that we do kind of get side tracked here and there like most people. Recently my sister-in-law started the envelope system and I have always thought that maybe I would be bad with that because I see cash and I spend it, but I have decided to give it a try Ty just got paid from a side job and he gets paid on Friday so this will be my adventure this week I just found a cute way to make cute envelopes so I think I will try it! Wish me luck! It is hard to make money work when you do not make enough to make it on the basic items, but maybe this will help me stretch my dollar!

Things on the Mind!!

2010-10-24T20:18:00.000-07:00

I wish that you could not worry sometimes, but then the times you don't worry you end up kicking yourself later for. For example: The dishes, I wish you didn't have to worry that you had to do them. But if you do not worry about them and just don't do them, guess what happens they pile and your house stinks and then you worry that tyour house stinks and how to make it not stink and then you worry that someone will come over and they will see and smell it and then you worry about what they think or if their house is clean, because they for sure have it all together at there house and so on and so on! I hate it!!
So the things on my mind:

Home stuff: clean bathrooms, organize closets, how to decorate each room and how to get the money to do that, bills how to pay them and when to pay them, clean turtle tank, put clothes in totes, clean spare room, get pee off ottoman (the dog did it), have the courage to get rid of the dog I hate the dog, clean the garage, mow the lawn, weed the flower beds, worry about the neighbors who hate our weeds so badly,paint guest bedroom, paint hutch, dresser and bed. how to keep the desk area organized it drives me nuts, clean carpets, hate our carpets so bad think of how I can get money for carpet, ty's b-day gift what to get,halloween parties, halloween candy going crazy!!

Work stuff: clean salon, get another person to rent space from me, get things ready for Cherie, clean towels, budget money save for cabinets, org closet, paint other room and do boutique stuff. It is hard running a business sometimes I wonder what the heck I am doing.

Kid and Church stuff: homework, reading, not yelling then yelling and then not again, cleaning the same area three times in 20min, teaching to be nice, loving the enough, disciplining enough or not enough, spending enough time teaching them the gospel, reaching out to them in times of need. Going to church, being on time, getting ty to o with me, praying that ty will come, wanting to go to the temple, know that if I do it will work out, but fighting him every week so the boys don't ask one more time where daddy is and me telling them that this is what daddy chooses, wanting to do to RS, but knowing that the lord needs me in nursery.

WOW ok so just getting that out there did let my mind breath a little.

My husband

2010-09-27T09:19:00.000-07:00

Ok funny story! Saturday I am getting ready for the RS Broadcast and am in the bathroom, my husband in the Kitchen my phone rings which I thought it might be my friend who I was riding with. Look at it and it is Tyson yes he is in the kitchen to remind you. He says "Where's the cheese?" I said "In the crisper" He says "No" Me: "You used all the cheese on your homemade pizzas?" Let me fill you in, last week at the store I was getting cheese and thought to my self I don't have any teenage boys at home this cheese should last me at least two weeks it was a 5lb bag. So this week when I made my list I did not check and did not add it to my list because I thought it would still be there. NOT I forgot I have a CHEESE LOVING HUSBAND!! Ok back to the story. Him: "Yep" Me: "What else did you make?" Him: "Nachos" pause silence "maybe a couple of times". So off to the store we go for cheese! This is why I love him and get frustrated with him! That was a lot of cheese!! Love ya sweetie!

Things they say!

2010-09-15T16:47:00.000-07:00

Broden has started to come out of his shell and is saying so much more then I thought he ever would, but the things he says are just not fully the word!!
Like
"ooby, ooby where you?" For Scooby do where are you
"ink ink" for Drink
"izza" for Pizza
"eeeegan" for tegan and he really does hold it out that long
"eav m lone" for leave me alone
"sh sh show mom ease" for Show mom please
"tank you" for thank you and he says this all the time
" mewo" is No wired i know he sounds like a cat
"shoooes" for Shoes he loves his shoes

Tegan on the other hand is all about going places and it starts like this
"Mom one day when I go to the and you could fill it in with anything, the park, the dinosaur place, Hawaii,the beach, camping, hunting, fishing, the circus, the radio which is the rodeo, the ocean, church and there is a whole long story of what we are going to do and what he will do. His uncle said you have big dreams kid, and he said yep I do, then was quite for a moment and said what dreams, I then explained that dreams are somethings you want to do later like a goal and you try to get there some day and he said no not later now. I know I would love to go to Hawaii right now! Most of the things he talks about he has already done and just wants to go back, but some things like going shark hunting, and to Africa, going to work with ocean animals he has not, but i am sure glad he sets his goals high, because I know he can do it!

I love you both very much, I now one day you will not be talking to me about these things and I may be wishing you were really going to church and not somewhere else, but maybe i can look back and this a remember I let you choose, then and all I can do is guide you and pray for you always. Thanks for letting me be your mom!!

Broden's 2!

2010-09-04T06:56:00.000-07:00

His b-day was the 24th of Aug!! We decided to go to the Zoo for Broden's b-day! We have not been there for ever and they have changed it a lot from when I was little!! We thought the earlier the better so we were on our way out and the dog ran away form us so we had to find him and that took longer then expected and the whole time we were looking Broden was yelling out the window US!! US!! in a mad tone! (Our dogs name is Gus and he HATES! me) So finally we got to the zoo and we were meeting Grandma and Grandpa Franc, Jer, Jordan, Rion, Logan, Jimie, Ori, Emmette, Francelle, Bryan, My mom, and Sabreena there! WoW what a group! But it was way fun we watch a bird show and the elephant show, Broden wanted the ball in the elephant pin! HE loves balls! he was a little scared of the Gorillas! There was one that came right up to the window to play with him and look at him he liked it at first and then decided he was starring at him to long!!

Broden we love you Very much!, you have started to talk but are still trying to get the words out!! You say Ball, izza for pizza, dog, atch for catch, ater for water, ink for drink and mommmmmy! (you really do drag it out that long!) You like to volunteer for the prayer but nothing is ever said, but hmmm hmmm hmmm Amen,and no one can help you But you do a great job! You are mister independent for sure! You LOVE music and LOVE to direct it is sacrament! You are my pal and know how to push daddy's buttons! We love you and are grateful to be your parents! And as i write this you are pushing a chair across the floor to find food you love to munch!

2010-09-01T13:27:00.000-07:00

I have started getting up at 6:00am and I feel my body is not fighting it as much as it use to! Which I am glad about because I was not getting out of bed until 10:00am for a while just because of the thoughts I had about life and its out comes, not that my is as bad as others, but I felt as if I was in a hole. I think we all have peaks and holes. But to today's activities I got up cleaned up the mess from last night because I was so mad at the boys that I wanted to veg as soon as I put them to bed so I left the mess. Then did some study in Preach My Gospel I took the attributes test in there a couple weeks ago and am trying to work on my lowest scores, because every little bit helps. Watch the Morning Rush News and then went to wake up Ty for school. Tegan is liking school and has been pretty good to get up when he needs to. This morning he did well but wanted to wear an army shirt he is so into the army thing right now! He has been wearing this light jacket to school that is army and even has been wearing it in the classroom! I would be so hot!! His teacher wanted him to wear purple, but I did not know of any boy that would wear purple, maybe I am wrong! So I found a shirt with guitars on it that had purple on it he was ok with that. Broden today woke up later then normal which is wired for him, but he was ready to play with brother. As I watch them play stick horse running around the kitchen table I realized it doesn't get better then this. I am so lucky I get to stay home and be able to see these moments between them and am blessed to have kids that really do love each other. Then that brief moment was enter by the thought of oh yes Tegan had homework last night and I was busy we must do that on to the next activity of life!

How people open our eyes

2010-09-01T13:11:00.000-07:00

I am grateful to our Heavenly Father for making so many kinds of people, to teach and learn from their examples and trials. I hope that I can take a little of what has happened to this woman and work it into my daily life. Because I have been thinking of more of what I could do to be more like our savior and it is always a work in progress, but sometimes you wonder am I going on the path that has been laid for me or am I fighting back so hard that my eyes are not even open to the path that I need to see. I love the part that she says her children are a privilege. I think I need to focus more on them and helping them to find their little inner spirits of talent. At times I wonder if I should be doing hair. I love it and enjoy it very much, but I stress so much about the time it takes away at nights and the contention it brings i wonder if it helps us out as much as we think. Which this is a bad time to think about this because we just put in another station and were going to have someone rent the space from me! I know bad timing, but when I think about it I feel sadly at peace, because I know I need to be with my family. I guess I will ponder some more about this and see what the lord is wanting me to do! Here is the video put from lds.org but she also has a blog as well.

Lake Powell!

2010-08-31T16:42:00.000-07:00

Crazy Yes!! Did we almost turn around and go home yes! Did we have fun once we got there! YES YES YES!!

Ty's fam has a house boat and we go for a week and always have so much fun!! We have not been because of me going to school, me having a baby and money! This year the money thing was worse then other years and we decided we for sure needed a break from life!! So we got together what we could and said off we go!! Sabreena my sister had never been and we said you are coming no choice!! I think she had fun it was fun to have her there! On the way down there we blew a tire and waited for them in Scipio not much there but some squeaky cheese. So that was fun!! Then got on the road and blew out another tire, waited to get that fixed and it was a down pour of rain! By this time I had packed enough stuff for entertainment I thought, but they were now bored of what I had brought! Got back on the road made it to well almost Kanab. A barring went out on the boat trailer. Left the boat there and truck and went into town to see what we could do by this time kids were hungry and parents were tired!! So we the women and Bret (Ty's brother), decided to stay at this park and let the kids play, it was a fun park so that was good! We had pizza and played, we waited and waited and waited. We even were to the point of playing red rover and laying on each others tummies to laugh! It was late and we were done!! The men returned, but the parts had not worked, but at this point we said who cares we are making it to Powell! So 13 hours later and I do not know how much money later! We made it and had a blast!! Tegan is a fish and was in the water all day! Broden hates the water and was in twice the whole week!! It was my 25th b-day and Jim and Bonnies b-day down there to! So we made dutch oven for everyone and had peach cobbler for my b-day! They even put balloons and sang to me when I came down from upstairs! They are such a great family!!

Tegan's First Fish he caught on his own!

Ty The Pirate

The park that we stayed at while the boys went to work on the boat trailer! The play ground instead of bark or sand it was made from left of rubber stamps from Stampin UP!

The rain storm we waited in while the other tire was fixed!

The tire shop before the down poor!

Tegan's 5 !

2010-08-31T15:58:00.000-07:00

For Tegan 5th B-day he wanted an Iron Man party and to have some friends and family over! So we did water activities and had cake later that night!! He wanted a pool for his b-day so we took him to pick out one I am so glad I did not pick it out or I would have been a lame parent! He picked out the Jurassic Pool with this T-Rex that shoots water out of his mouth! The kids had a blast, he has made some cool friends this summer and it has been hard for me to say ok you can go to so and so house! So scary for mom! He wanted me to make his cake and by all means I am not a cake decorated(leave it to Liz if she reads this hers are awesome!) But I tried and he loved It!

To our Tegan:
We love you and are very proud of who you are! Thanks for being a great Big brother and playing with Broden! Dad loves to play games with you and you are very good at Mario! I hope you will always love the water and ocean! You are funny and silly! You have learned how to whistle and write your name! Thanks for being our son and friend!

Up dates!!

2010-08-31T15:45:00.001-07:00

Ok so thins year I really wanted to make a book out of this blog and maybe I still will if I can get caught up!! But we will catch up real fast and then try to update once a week! I know I have said this and we are all just saying sure she will NOT!!!

Here it goes! So after having Tyson heart attack he was off of work and then went back for light duty which he did obey pretty good! Now the eating healthy thing did good when I could make him lunch in bed and see what he was eating and of course he has to have his pop and candy bar everyday(for those of you who know him you know it is just not a little it is a lot of POP!! like 144oz of POP!! NO WATER I could only wish!!)
Well a week after he had been back to work they laid him off! So yes that would make sense right! No I do not think so! So we once again were back to trying to figure out how to put food on the table! since our last difficult trial I had said not matter how much even if it is a dollar I am putting it in savings! So they say every little bit helps and it for sure does we had enough for at least 3 house payments and now we are unemployment looking for a job! The fun never ends!!

Click on the link it will help you to know that your Heavenly Father knows you and loves you. Especially through the rough times.I saw this today when I went to search for some answers and it brought me to tears. I know there are good things to come!
Good-Things-to-Come

To the one I love

2010-07-07T18:28:00.000-07:00

Memorial Day Weekend was a scary time for us. Tyson was not feeling well earlier that week and of course I was like you are such a baby. Friday night he went to bed and was not feeling well. Saturday morning we are in the ER being check. They checked him over and said that they were going to run some blood work and see what came from that. The nurse comes in turns and looks at me and says your husband is having a heart attack. I said are you kidding. Of course he was not. So as fast as we were in the room was as fast as he was off to have his heart looked at. I could see that he was really scared and you could see his discomfort. At this point I was in shock, but thought I need to be strong for him and let him know he will be ok. He started to cry and told me to tell the boys he loved them and we were off down the hall. I give him a kiss I went one way and he went another. There I am standing in a waiting room holding his belonging and wedding ring in my hand. Praying that it will be ok and leaving it up to my Heavenly Father to decide our journey. Family came and was me, which I am so grateful to have. After an hour I think, I was trying not to ponder on the time, it may have been longer. He came out and was to not move for the next 6 hours, so to ICU we went to recover. After 3 days in ICU and a really bad nurse. The conclusion was that a piece of plaque had broken off in the heart and bacteria had attached itself to the plaque, then his body created a clot to get rid of the bacteria. So now we are on 2 RX for life most likely, an Aspirin a day, Ibuprofen and 3 different kinds of vitamins. We are walking and eating are fruits and veggies. When I was standing there holding his things I thought to myself I thought we would be old before we had to do something like this, and what would I tell the boys, how would Broden remember him, have I done everything possible to let him know that he is my only one, and have I taken care of him and said the things I should have instead of things I shouldn't have.

So To the one I love:
You make me smile bigger then any one ever could
You make my dark days light
When you come into a room I am clam
I Love you
I am so proud of you and your ability to fight your weaknesses
I am grateful for the time you work to provide so much for our family
Thanks for playing with the kids
Thanks for doing the dishes, laundry,and other chores
Thanks for listening to me at 11:00 at night and still talking back
I Love you
Thanks for remembering the things I have looked at in stores and getting them on special occasions.
You make me laugh (really hard)
You are my friend since i have no girls to talk to. SO Thanks for being a good girly friend J/K
You make me feel pretty
Thanks for letting me pick the movie when we go out.
Thanks for letting me tell you what to do and doing it.
Thanks for going to church the times you do.
Thanks for going to dinner at my moms and staying until 10:00 at night
I love the way you can pinch with your toes(ouch)
I love you for your laziness(if makes me stop and enjoy the ride)
There is so much more, But how about I LOVE YOU FOR YOU!!

Thanks for staying with us and I hope our journey is never cut short.

I thought!

2010-07-07T18:23:00.000-07:00

I thought that I would be doing better at this and I was until the stupid computer things and I really did not want to have to drive to use some ones computer to update but now I think It would have been better then to have missed out on all the fun things and challenges we have had! So one day (or should I say night I will stay up late and update. Thats the ony time I really get anything done!) I really want to make a book out of this so I will try harder!

COMPUTERS!!!

2010-04-14T13:26:00.000-07:00

I am updating from my inlaws house! Are computer is officially done for! Can not wait to get taxes back! There have been alot of things going on I will have to go back and update. But we are making it! Tegan graduated preschool crazy he is so big! Broden is just jibber jabbering up a storm at home, but shy around everyone else! Well I have to go so they can use the coomputer. I have a tone of pictures to put on I really wanted to do good this year so I could make a book, well we will have to go back and redo!! Oh well I tried!

Show and Tell

2010-01-29T11:59:00.000-08:00

Tegan today had show and tell he had to bring something with a tail so he wanted to take his turtle he was so excited and wanted to write what he was going to say, so we jotted down a few things and he was so happy to be doing this today thanks Mrs Summer you are awesome!
Well I was thinking that the title show and tell was great for me today because I have a few tell items I guess I will get pictures on later. So I have decided to start a little boutique in my salon and am making headbands, bows, clips some crafts and will have other peoples stuff in it as well so I will be making a post in Febuary of all the things that have been gathered and made. Then the other thing is I have decided to start doing the coupon thing because of this nice lady I have a button on the side! Check it out she is awesome and takes most of the work out of it besides the organizing, I need to be more prepared for rough times ahead and I have decided to step out and do some things about it. I also want to do dry mixes(the premade mixes) and 72 hour kits. One thing at a time but there are some goals. My other tell was this lady in my ward does awesome photo's! Check out her blog scrapsoflifephotography.blogspot.com

January Moments

2010-01-22T10:09:00.000-08:00

It has been a good month from playing in the snow to doing raspberry's at the dinner table! This month has seem to fly by I can not believe it! New Years resolutions are still going on! Hair was a good month and was busy! Tegan has been learning about dinosaurs this month at his preschool, he loved to go to school this month and wanted to know what they where learning about each day, he loves preschool anyways, but it was an exciting month they were going to the Thanksgiving point today for the museum, but of course I was not invited because he is a big boy! One day I will go with him! Broden is growing but is still small! He has the funniest personality he makes our days a little bit lighter with his sweet spirit!He is also my little destroyer! I love my fam very much!

Mom's Surprise

2010-01-22T09:54:00.000-08:00

My mom turned 49 this year and my dad thought it would be a great idea to throw her a surprise party! So the week went by and I I hand not talked to my dad, but when I called he said he still wanted to do it on that Saturday and it was wed night by the way! it was a little crazy, But like my Grand ma said "what did ya expect when you left a man in charge" I know Grandma thanks for the advise! Any way it turned out great and we had both sides of the family there Rassy and Mecham. She new something was up because my dad does not plan all the time so he told her we have to be back at 3:00pm, but she did not know everyone would be there! It was great we had hamburgers and salads and all chit chatted as Tegan would say! Happy B-day mom Hope you had a good one!

New Years Night

2010-01-12T15:48:00.000-08:00

What a good way to start off the year! We stayed home and had two couples over that our are best friends. Really great people! Jim and Cherie Kenison and Jason and Marlanie Martinez and their family, they have 3 boys and 1 girl. We had pizza and munchies! And played Rock Band it was a blast we actually did not start rock band until 10:45 I think, because we were so busy having fun that it just flew by!

A new year with a new attitude!

2010-01-12T15:39:00.000-08:00

This past year we have been through our ups and downs, but with a new year here it is always time to start over as some may say! But I do not want to start over, and leave things behind but, start with a new attitude and approach of how I look at things I guess you would say! Like my sister-in-law has brought to my attention is the "Time is Now". She heard it in a talk given by someone (the name slips my mind) in conference. She is always reminding me of this and I am glad! My other favorite is "Come what may and Love it". This is in my living room so I can look at it daily if needed. The time for me is now, to make my life a better place for me and family and whoever may wonder my way! I am extremely grateful for family and friends, and their great impression on me, in ways you may not know. But you never know who is watching and you always know who is always watching. Thank to all of you who help to change peoples lives for the better!

Reality,its what makes you stronger!

2009-12-09T09:49:00.000-08:00

I am hoping that I can now update more and that my computer is done doing whatever it has been doing so we will see. You know how you seem to write about all the good things that seem to happen and the trials seem to get pushed under the rug or maybe it is that you need to tell someone, but that you don't want a pity fest, you just want someone to listen and say it will be ok. Things have been a struggle lately and it's ok because everyone goes through them. It is just what you end up doing to come out of that so called hole you have hidden your self in for so long, not asking for help and then crying to the Lord, because for so long you thought you had everything under control or so you thought. This year more then ever I have learned that without my savior I would not have survived literally. I have gone through things before to make me understand this, but they were for me personal things I needed to learn, but this year it has been a whole family experience. I am extremely grateful for my savior and watching out for us to make sure we were able to keep our children feed, and roof over our heads this year. It may not be the food we had wanted,such as the pop and chips that my husband soooo loves, but it was enough to keep our boys satisfied and full. I am grateful that he has sent me clients at slow times of the year to help the short times, I am glad my husband still has a job, even if wages have been cut, at least we still able to provide the basics for our family. This year has been a long journey, but what a year of learning, my testimony of prayer and tithing have been added to more then I know.

Since the last up date which was a while ago we have been doing good, the kids have had a few minor colds and the swine flu did reach our home this year,but just for one of us, Tyson, it hit him pretty hard and we were all confined to our home for 8 days. He went back to work the next week. The boys are growing like weeds. Tegan is loving preschool and building forts with the couch cushions. This summer he loved sneaking out our front door and building lakes and rivers in the front flower bed!(Thanks to his daddy who showed him this!) He still loves his turtle that he got for his b-day! He loves his brother and loves to wrestle with him! He can not wait until Christmas! Broden will be 16mon on the 24th and has grown up so much! He loves buttons,balls and cell phones(which my ended up in the toilet). He also loves brother and likes to sit on his head(we do not know why but this is what he does to win). He is not saying to much, but mum, da da, oh, and pointing and grunting, he does jibber jabber in his own way. he loves getting on the table and playing in whatever has been left there or someones drink. Tyson has been working very hard and is very tired, he is a great dad and husband. He is great with his hands and does a tremendous job at his work. He finished my salon this year and many thinkgs around the house a closet organizing system for tegs room, chalk boards for the walls, a gate for the bottom of the stairs, the playroom. He is wonderful and I am very grateful to have him in my life. What have I been doing, hmm let me think, I think I have been driving my self crazy! I need to know when to stop and I just can't. I may sound like a broken record but oh well. Get up, breakfast, clean, clean, clean, go, go, go pick up, pick up, dinner,worry, worry, worry, try to fall asleep. That is what I feel like, but it is ok. I watch my sister-in-laws kids on Mon.( It really is so much fun!) Teg goes to preschool at 12:30 and it is laundry day,Tues I do hair, try to keep the house picked up and keep the kids happy while I am working, Wed is preschool and Kitchen and living room cleaning, and hair from 4-10, Thurs day is hair, master bedroom clean, keep the kids happy and Friday if I haven't given up for the week it is run errands day and clean bathrooms and teg to preschool! Weekends are what ever seem to pass through them. Start over on MON!! WOW But it is a Fun Life!

I really want to blog!

2009-10-16T09:48:00.000-07:00

My computer has a virus and is not working! I will update when I can!

2009-07-06T17:33:00.000-07:00

And you are I am so proud of my Teg-man.I can not believe how old my little man is going to be it is so sad, but has been exciting to watch you grow!

Pony Express Days NextFit

2009-06-11T12:50:00.000-07:00

We did a booth at the Eagle Mountain Pony Express Days for NextFit Business! It was a great experience! The weather was bad on Friday, but Saturday turned out alright! Business is going good so that's all that matters! One funny thing that happened was we had a drawing to win an exercises system and the mom and daughter enter on two separate papers to win and they ended up each winning one. I went to High school with the girl who one it her name was Jen Romero in school, but she married a Johnson I hope she will use it. Tegan had a blast on the rides, we were lame parents and forgot the camera the night we went on the rides! He was sacred to go on the big slide, but went with his uncle Jim(who by the way is awesome and loves our kids to death! It isn't really even his uncle just a good friend!) We had a good Time!

Congrats Grads of 2009!

2009-06-11T12:40:00.000-07:00

My sister in-law graduate this year and we went to celebrate at Los Hermonos! It was a little crowd, but it was all good! Congrats! We wish ya the best! My cousin also graduate! Good Luck to you to Brad!

Fun in the Park

2009-06-11T12:28:00.000-07:00

Ok Wow! I am alive!

2009-06-09T22:30:00.000-07:00

Wow it has been a while! Life goes by way to fast! So where to start! We will start with Tegan's Preschool Program. He did not graduate, I still have one more year for that! He was so cute and stole the show for sure, he sang so loud and wanted his grandma to get here hands ready to sign the songs with him! He mad sure to tell her that, he also made sure to tell his teacher that one of the kids from the audience should not be up with them. The little stink! I can not believe he will be turning 4 on the 9th of July Crazy!! Next we have been working on a lot of projects around our house I wish we could just finish one of them! The back yard is a dirt, because there were so many weeds back there we decided to dig it up, I guess would should have waited until we could get grass oh well, one day! The next one is the basement! i wish we could get it painted, maybe for Teg's b-day we will get it done for him so he will have a fun play room! Broden is crawling all over the place and the pic on here do not even look like my little guy any more, time to get some new ones done! He is so mellow and shy, but don't let him fool ya he can cause some serious damage. His new favorite thing is to push the button on the DVD player and watch it come out the problem is , he does it when everyone is watching the show and then we put it back in, skip to where we are at and start all over we do this all night until he goes to sleep. At least lately we just do not watch it so we don't have to deal with it. I am so grateful for my kids and the happiness they bring to my life, I know sometimes I may not show it, because I am to busy giving orders, but I really am glad to be a mom and a wife! Ok p.s funny story my husband would die if he new this was on here, but it is such a funny story I have to write it so I remember so my husband got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night like usual he goes so much I wonder if he is a pregnant mother. Anyways, He did not lift the toilet seat up, i have one of those decorative toilet seat things on there, so pee was all over that. He said he thought i sounded funny so, he looked down and yep he forgot to put the seat up. I was asleep heard him get up, thought it sounded different, but thought it was because i was so tired, nope I was wrong and so was he! We laughed for the next couple of days! I will post some pics of what are fam has been up to hopefully tommorrow! Hope all is good in your neck of the woods!

Busy Busy!

2009-05-05T12:35:00.000-07:00

Easter Weekend 2009

2009-04-14T20:20:00.000-07:00

Good Times I must say! Saturday we went to the BIG Easter egg hunt at Thanksgiving point! We went with my mom and brother! WOW lots of people and lots of eggs! It was fun! But I wish parents were not so I don't know how to say it maybe childish is the word. I don't want to offend anyone, but it is for ages 0-3 or 4-6 and there was some bigger kids out there I must say please just let your kids get the eggs not you! OK, but it was fun and Teg had a blast it was very cold! I would do it again just because they had other fun things to do for the kids! We then had a Easter party at Grandma Bonnie's house and had a blast with the kids they are at such fun ages! The best part was Emmett was there he is my nephew who has the heart defect and had just come home from his last surgery and has been doing great! I was so glad to have us all together as a family! Then we went home to dye Easter eggs which Tegan has done before but, I think he is starting to get the concept! The reason I am not so sure is because of his comment! This is from his own mouth! So I was getting the stuff ready for the eggs and I said "Are you ready to dye the eggs?" Tegan "Mom don't kill the eggs!!!" Me "I'm not going to kill them" Not understanding what he is saying! Tegan again"Mom don't kill the eggs please mom" then it registered "OH" "No honey we are going to color the eggs". Then he was OK with what we were going to do! We only did 12 eggs and the Easter bunny hid them all and we did find them all thank goodness! He was very excited to have the Easter bunny come but he made sure that I new that he did not want the bunny to come in his bed because, Dad had told him that the Easter bunny likes to nibble on little boys ears. So of course that made him scared! Sunday we went to my Grandma's for a hunt and had really good food and fun! She is such a cute Grandma and started to cry when we all left, she has had a lot happen for the better in the last couple of months and these moments we have are even more close to heart now! I have pic that I will post but my battery says it is exhausted!

Cute Cousins!

2009-04-03T09:55:00.001-07:00

In the same weekend we had are niece Francelle with us and we told her we were going to go to my mom's for dinner, we told her it was kind of like a farm with horses and cows and goats. She said she wanted to go and get her cowboy boots, so we went to her house and got her boots, which by the way are Baby Pink! Very cute. But anyways we went to see the horses and she said that they are her pets and she wanted to take one home. I told her we would have to ask her mommy about that one! But Tegan and her get along so well and they have so much fun together! I love to have such a great family that lives so close I am so blessed that way!

We had a blast taking her with us! I am so glad for now she likes to be with us! They grow up so fast, and forget how close you really were to them, but for now I will enjoy the moment!

Doing Our Duty!

2009-04-03T09:11:00.000-07:00

I know it is almost the weekend again, but I figured I better write about last weekend, because it was so much crazy, but Fun!! Tyson is the building facility manager( I guess that is what you would call him) So Saturday we went to clean the church, Tegan likes to push the broom in the gym, I do bathrooms, (Yumm, not!!) Please tell your husbands to clean up after themselves just a little, It is nasty!, But any who!

We are going to clean the Church!

Then I did my mom and sisters hair they needed trims, Yeah for my mom she actually came in for a trim. Two times before this she waited almost 2 years for a trim, Crazy! Then came home to a crazy house because my dear great wonderful hubby was trying to get the water ran for my sink in the salon down stairs, so i can work here and not ant my mother-in-laws. Then my father-in-law received a call from my sister-in-law(wow that was a lot of in-law's) that she wasn't feeling well. She had hair she was doing and they had came from Wyoming so she did not want them to have to come back down. So I went over there and did hair until about 6:30. It was a long day but it was fun to be doing something I love!

Yeah!

2009-03-26T09:32:00.000-07:00

I have officailly found my camera charger be ready for lots of pics!!! Oh and by the way snow is not just snow it is water snow, because you can open your mouth and drink it. So Tegan says! Words from the mouths of babes!

I'm Back!

2009-03-19T11:48:00.000-07:00

So I think I answered my own question on the post awbout wondering! I've decided that I do not need to wonder about those things. But need to ponder on the things the lord would want me to do and wonder about the things I should be doing for others and how I am going to be a little better every day to grow closer to my savior. I read a quote on Kira(Kooie) Smith blog and it made me relize what i need to be trying better to do! Thanks for the inspiration!“You are good. But it is not enough just to be good. You must be good for something. You must contribute good to the world. The world must be a better place for your presence. And the good that is in you must be spread to others.” -President Gordon B. Hinkley I think this has just become my favorite quote!

Today! Living in the Now

2009-03-19T10:48:00.000-07:00

So as I am sitting here typing my son Tegan is upstairs making some kind of mess I can only imagine! You have to love them! I wish I could find my camera charger, Tyson swears he did not take it down stairs with the box, but I can't find it any where and I am missing out on good pics! So I started this job it is only a temp job(kind of sounds like the office) It is only for six weeks, but i think it might be the longest six weeks of my life! It is at night so it took some adjusting to the sleep thing, but we will survive hey and its extra money. Ty's doing a great job taking care of the kids and the house so i can do things like this during the day and relax! We are still in the process of finishing my salon.(A very long process i must say) But my hubby loves me very much and has done a great job so far! I'm just glad we can do it ourselves and can save money! We are also doing a side business of Nextfit Key Chain Trainer Personal Trainer, so far so good it looks like its going to take off! We are excited! My kids are adorable Tegan this morning wanted pizza for breakfast I normally am a stickler and say no way, but you have to have fun every once in a while so when I said yes he said Oh Thank you Mom your awesome, but he new he had pushed it to far when he said can I have pop. He immediately said I'm sorry how about water. I love Him! Broden just got a walker and loves it, he follows me everywhere and gets so excited to be able to come with us to the kitchen instead of being left in the living room!We had our anniversary on the 13th Happy Anniversary to us! It has been 5 years, time flys when your having fun!!We went to the Mayan(BAD food do not go again it taste like feet!!) Then the next night went to The Hines Mansion it was a great time together! We have not had time alone in a while we try to do the date thing, but we hate to bother anyone to watch the kids! Plus we like to be with them! For now I feel like I am going a million miles an minute and I know it most likely will not slow down but the platter is pretty full! Oh and by the way my son just said He loves me! Wow I am blessed!

Sometimes you wonder?

2009-03-07T12:46:00.000-08:00

I don't know if wonder or ponder is the word. I seem to be wondering a lot lately. I always wonder or think about a stuff and think do I really need to think about this, but then there are things that I just can't get out of my head! Like this for instance I wonder if I am really losing wait or if the scale is a lie or I wonder if I've made the right financial decisions or I wonder if I turned on the dryer? Things like this it is kind of crazy to think about and I know some things I should not, but you do. We as a family are doing great! We received are taxes back Yeah!! I was so excited that means I can finish my salon downstairs in our house and not have to go to my mother-in-laws. Not that I don't love my mother-in-law she is great it will just be nice to not have to leave home to do hair! Tegan is loving Preschool and his Teacher she is great! He has learned so much and does not even go to Kindergarten for one more year! Broden is growing like a weed and he looks like he might be really tall! He rolls over and laughs and loves to hear his own voice! Tyson is still go strong and installing cabinets and loves who he works with! I am still being a mom, wife and business owner. I feel like I am going every direction! But I love to be busy! Well I must go because I have a client coming for extensions! Hope all is well with everyone out there Love ya all!!

Things that make you think about life

2009-01-21T13:42:00.000-08:00

We have been very busy since Christmas it seems life doesn't slow down even when it's a new year! Christmas was great! We stayed at home as usual, but now we had two boys for Christmas it was great! Tegan was so excited, to see what Santa would bring him( I love having kids for the Christmas Magic is there all over again)! He had been sick with croup so we had taken him in to the Doctors the day before Christmas and they gave him a shot which of course he freaked out about! But anyways he didn't feel good when he woke up so he looked at his presents and decided to get in the shower to make him feel better. I was proud that he didn't through a fit because he was not able to open his presents right away! He got a giant Dinosaur that walks and him and daddy have a blast with it. He also got Hungry Hippos which I love to play with him. He made a haul! Mommy got a new camera so I can put more pictures on my blog yeah! But as I said in the beginning, life doesn't slow down and as Christmas was over I just kept thinking how much longer do I have to be with my family and friends and what memories I have with them. All I know is that I want to make as many as I can and let all of those that have been a part of my life how much they have meant to me! These are just a few of the things that made me think about life. We had my Grandma and Grandpa 50th wedding Anniversary It was great and so many people were there and it just made me think how many people they have touched including me. I also thought 50 years is along time, but I hope that I can make it that far with my sweet heart. HE is the best and works so hard for us to have the things we need and want! Before I had written about my sister-in-law who had a baby born with a heart defect. He was doing well, but had to go back to primary children's because he became sick. I was at her house one day I realized how much she does for her family and what a trooper she has been through all this The lord has been by her side to give her the energy to do the things she has done. Monday night he went back because he choked and had to be taken by ambulance. It makes you realize how life can be taken so fast, but also given a second chance. Sometimes as a mom you wonder if you are even noticed as you load the dishes in the dish washer for the second maybe third time for the day or maybe the clothes just magically appear to be clean in the closet. But this was the day I knew I was being watched. I couldn't find the keys to my car and Tegan was going to be late for preschool. I tried calling Ty like 20 times and he never answered. I finally found the keys and went to the car. The night before Tyson had tried to pull the car in so it would fit better next to his truck so we could get out of our doors easier. Well it was so twisted that I did not do a good job at pulling it out, it kind of scrapped the paint off my car. As the car hit the garage I said Dang IT, but the other word and all of a sudden Tegan repeated it. That is when I knew it did not matter how many times I loaded the dish washer, that my example meant more then the clean clothes in the closet that he never noticed. Well these are the things that have made me think about life and the direction I need to be pointed in! Hope all is well with all of your friends and familys Love the Franc's

So to my family thanks for always being there for me and letting me boss you around or change my mind a million times! I love and am extermely greatful for you!

Love your mom, wife and friend Clarissa

What a busy week! Well worth it!

2008-12-10T12:35:00.000-08:00

It all started with the ward Christmas party on Tuesday the 2nd. Which was great Santa came to the party and the kids were able to sit on his lap. But of course Tegan was not so sure about him! He did tell him he wanted Batman stuff, a Spiderman train and army guys. He also wanted to show Santa his little brother, which we thought was so cute! They had other fun things to do but the line for Santa was so long we never were able to do the other things. Wednesday the 3rd was my Grandpa Clyde's wedding. Yes I did say Grandpa, not cousin or friend. Kind of wired I know! But any who! This is his third marriage and she is very nice. I have know her my whole life actually. Because she is my uncles mom. But it was very nice and they are so in love! We had a blast as family we had good food and country line danced until we were all to tired to move! I wish them the best of luck and love my Grandpa to pieces!! Thursday the 4th I did hair all night, but I love it so it was ok I was just tired from the night before! Friday I came and cleaned my mother in laws house so it would be ready for the baby blessing on Sunday. Saturday we went and took family pictures at our family cabin it was great. When I get them I will post them. But it was great fun to see Tegan and Broden together. I could believe I actually have two kids, but I wouldn't change it for the world!! Sunday the 7th was Broden's Blessing it was wonderful!! I will write in detail later and post some pictures with the post. It was a crazy week but great family time which is always welcome in my book! OH yeah we had a Rassy Family Christmas party on Sunday to!

Happy Thanksgiving!

2008-11-25T14:03:00.000-08:00

I am so excited for Thanksgiving! We love the left overs for sandwiches! This year just keeps going faster and faster! Buy the way only two more pay checks until Christmas I sure you all wanted to know that!
I am just so thankful to be able to have a roof over my head and food on the table as the weather starts to get cold and Thanksgiving is near
My sister-in-law was able to bring her baby home today and I was so excited to go see him, but I have a cold and he is still in a very fragile state, until his next surgery. He came home with oxygen and a feeding tube and has to go back to the doctor to see if he can start eating from a bottle on Fri. His next surgery gives him a 90% chance of living when the last one only gave him a 60%-75% chance at life. We made it through this one, but time will tell us what is to come. Heavenly Father has answered many prayers for our family!
Tegan has been being such a good boy lately, I have tried to not yell as much. Sometimes I feel like all I give is orders. So we have been trying 3 warnings and then time out. It works pretty good, but I hope it last.
Broden is growing and will be three months old on the 24th! I can't believe he will be that big already! We are going to bless him on Dec. 7th.
I wish every one a very Happy Turkey Day! Don't get to full!
Love the Franc Family

Being Thankful!

2008-11-18T11:48:00.000-08:00

With Thanksgiving nearing I have been thinking of things I am grateful for! I am extremely grateful for my family, my husband is so good to me and loves me to pieces. He comes home from a hard day at work and is still so willing to help with kids and around the house. He does so much for us and loves us very much! We love you daddy! I am also in love with the other two dudes in my life Little Broden and Big Bro Teg Man. They bring me so much happiness to see their smiles every morning!! I am blessed to be able to stay home with my little sunshine's! At times I wonder if I get anything done but, I know that I am teaching them things about life by being home!
At this time I am also so grateful for LIFE! My sister-in-law has had a baby born with a heart problem that has had to have major surgery just within a few days of being born. He did live and is still at primary children's hospital and everyday is a blessing to have him in our family! We love him very much and are so grateful for Heavenly Fathers hand in everything he has gone through! As I look at my little one I realize what a blessing it is to be here on this earth with my family and that I have the air to breath and that we are healthy!

Why I started to blog!

2008-11-09T20:03:00.000-08:00

I have decided to start this blog because I have a sister-in-law that started one to keep people updated on her little boy who had to have heart surgery. It really helped people stay in touch with her and was fun to get updates from friends and family. I also wanted a better way to keep a record of our family fun!!

I really don't know a lot about this but it sure looks cute and fun!!

Tyson and I have just moved back into the same neighborhood we moved out of 2 years ago I guess you can say we missed it! We have had alot of things going on in our lives! We had are 2nd baby boy named Broden, moved into a knew home and finished cosmetology school with in the last year! I guess you can say things are going fast for us!
