OCTOBER IS FINALLY OVER!

Pooper scoopers

Halloween 2009

Me relaxing on the comfy recliner


I think it is tradition every few years, and those in my family can testify to it, that Octobers can be HORRIBLE for me. One October I was in 4th grade, my step grandfather had a heart attack, my sister was in a horrible car accident rolling down Farmington canyon...being okay luckily. A week later I messed my knee up very badly at school needing a years worth of physical therapy..and then my brother had some time he needed to serve..don't know why..he just did.





this October...I was Audited a couple of times at work...because of forgetfulness and not being careful enough, I guess? I am ALWAYS VERY VERY CAUTIOUS with the money, we work with a lot of it, and I AM NOT lax about it at all!!! The kids and I and now Wes have a stupid cough that will not go away...no swine here. THANK GOODNESS!! I TURNED 25 this month as well, hard HARD year for me for some reason. BUT IT WAAS THE MOST AMAZING birthday ever! My work put a lot of thought and attention to me and it made me feel very loved and great. I have a wonderful place to work!!!! I love my co-workers more than I could ever imagine I would. My husband was FINALLY home for my birthday after 3 years of not being home! There were alot of Uggg moments this October but many great moments to split up the stress. We had a great Halloween this year, and had friends to spend it with, which was awesome! Oh and on my birthday Wes and I went on a date...FANTASTIC!!! The kids are doing well, Rylan has had some HORRIFIC moments at school this year that made me furious and dissapointed and sad and everything you could imagine. BUT his grades are coming up and he is doing MUCH better! It is amazing thing kind of things the expect out of these 2nd graders. They are definately much smarter than those in utah...sorry no offense...I just don't think the teachers realize how much kids can do at that age, theya re pushing these kids down here to their limits...and they aer reaching them with flying colors! I wish they would do the same up there..





Wes is almost done with the academy about 6 more weeks. His parents are going to be here to come see him graduate!! I canot wait to see my mommy in law!! Here are some pictures from the recent weeks. Love and miss you all!!!

So much to do so little time...

















Well, it has been a while since I have posted anything, since my last post, the kids have started school, and Wes is half way done with his police academy. I have been at my new job for 4 months and i still LOVE it very very VERY much!!! Patrick broke his poor puppy leg, choked and almost died...1000 dollars later...he is fine. We bought a cat from a cute young couple that just had a baby and were worried about the cat laying on their baby. ummmm yep..that is pretty much all. I am on a mission to lose this stupid weight that has slowly crept up over the years of stress and anxiety. HOPEFULLY I will let my self succeed. Funny that it has been so long since I have written anything and there isn't really anything more to say. Hopefully everyone is doing well. We all are doing great. Just always SUPER DOOPER DOOPER busy. Love to everyone!

Fourth Of July

Wes Jumping with the kiddo's...and loving every second of it!

Rylan and Addie...Rylan is getting WAY TOO BIG!!

Rylan being goofy
Wes loving his new uniform
Our pretty Fourth of july kitty
"Freeze dirt bag"
See what I mean?? He is SMOKIN HOT!
OUR FIRST FOURTH OF JULY WITH WES IN 3 YEARS!!! It was FABULOUS! We went to a parade in the morning...no pictures sorry. Then we went and saw the new Night at the Museum. Then we went to Sams club and bought a trampoline...those of you that are close to us know that Wes HATES them.....because he had a very great friend of his become paralyzed after a horrible accident that Wes unfortunately saw. Since then has had a great fear of our children getting hurt on one. But we figured that if we got one we could at least instill in them what is okay to do and what isn't...and have that to help them understand the dangers..So then we set it up and then played on it for a good while...the kids are in love and ALWAYS want to jump. Wes is a kid on that thing and terrifys me..I use it for the benefit of excercise. And it is just fun! Also my Handsome hubby is now officially a part of the Temple Police Department...and man is HE HANDSOME in his uniform!!!! So I wanted to share some pictures of him in bare minimum uniform...meaning not everything is on it...pretty much just the uniform...he loves it!! It is great to see him excited about going to work every day. He will be going to his academy for a few months then off to the races he will go....well he will start riding along and see what he will be doing then gradually move up from there. We are so grateful that our Heavenly Father has blessed us with this beautiful home, our health, our children...our two puppys...and our wonderful jobs. With todays economy being in the state it is....we are both very fortunate to find such great paying jobs..and stable ones at that. We are so grateful for the friends all around us and the great people who take care of our children for us while we are at work...the daycare that we have them at couldn't be better. Anyway, I hope all of you are well and enjoyed their day of independence I know we did!!

What we have been up toooooo.......








Hello to anyone that still reads this....I figure no one does anymore cause we get no comments...so maybe this is a a waste of time on my part...it is just nice to get to let out all our accomplishments.
1st off, new bikes..the kids got new bikes to ride around they love them and are doing well. We are probably going to start getting Addie used to the dreaded two wheeler. She is so big, and fiesty...the little stinker. She really thinks she knows more than all of us. And it is getting really OLD really fast!! She is so smart that she honestly thinks she knows more than all of us.
Second, Rylan has graduated 1st grade...I am going to have a second grader and a pre-k'er...or a kindergartener....weird...they may be sending Addie a grade up. Rylan walked very proudly up to the principal and his teacher to recieve a plethera of awards...starting with
Academic Excellence, the citizenship award, independant reader award, and the Accelarated Reader goal award...he did absolutely amazing this year IN TEXAS....I really wish that his teacher in Utah saw how amazing he really his. Too bad for her she didn't get to know my son, he has so much to share. He is so wonderful, my Rylan is my life. He has helped me get through so much in my life....don't get me wrong...Addie has taught me a thing or two...and I LOVE HER WITH ALL MY HEART! But Rylan and I have shared alot of hurts together. He is my strength...Anyway...he is doing fantastic, and LOVING that he is done with school....off to daycare full time for him, which means he can play his DS everyday..he is pretty excited about that. He has been reading Fablehaven and is almost done with the first book...also a book series called....hmmmm....something whimpy kid....don't know...I cannot remember....anyhow..he has read two of them fully, and I wasn't sure if he was really reading them so I would test him on it....and he knew the whole book...pretty amazing!!! It is very crazy to me that my 7 yera old is reading chapter books. Wow I am ranting on Rylan today...obviously I am proud of the little man! Also...funny thing, we are able to share shoes, and shirts..he is just getting too big too fast!!
Wesley is doing great with the lawn service, but unfortunately will have to put up his mower and weedeater during his academy for Temple PD. He is so excited for his new career. We cannot wait for him to start....still a little nervous, but I am excited because he is excited.
I am doing great at my new job at Extraco Bank...I LOVE IT!!!! This is truly my knack...I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT! I felt very confident going into the job, and still feel very confident....probably a bad thing is that I show the confidence a little much on my sleeve...and maybe get a little arrogant. I shouldn't...but I do sometimes...I just love it and know I am doing well...and it feels great!!!
Next weekend we will have my Mother in Law, Sister in law Tiffany, Brother in law Dan, and their two children Mckayla and Hyrum over and we are so excited to see them all...best of all we will have our Puppy back! We miss her so much and we will finally have her home with us.
Anyway...that is what is going on here, I am going to put pictures up of this past few weeks...Love you all!!!!!!

St Patty's Day, Easter....Getting OUT!

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, well we have gone a few weeks with no posting...crazy me. We have had alot going on the past few weeks with Wes getting out of the army, life is a little.....unstable at the moment. BUT things are great!! On St Patricks day I had lots of fun at work getting all dressed up and if you all know me...which you all do, you will understand these pictures. Also we had a great time with some good friends of ours down here in TX, at an Easter egg hunt the place had over 50,000 eggs...YES people, it was CRAZY! WE DIDN"T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR ALL THE EGGS...so the kids got jipped..ha ha. Oh well, it was a great time!! Also, Wes heard from the Temple PD yesterday, so FINALLY we can breathe alittle bit. We at least know he is still in the running...WHEW! ALSO, I was offered a job at Extra Co bank. A guy that comes into the store daily asked me if I would be interested...at first I w as a little hesitant, but I will be getting 40 hours a week, paid holidays, and 3 dollars more an hour than I am right now...so I would be dumb IF I hadn't applied. So I applied and go in for my interview next week. Wish me luck!!







The kids are doing fantastic!! Rylan has all A's in school still and his lowest grade is a 98 percent and he only has 1 the rest are 100's. GREAT!!



Addie is doing awesome as well, she is starting to spell things from memory and writing them down. It is absolutely amazing this little girl. Her 4th b-day is coming up in 15 days...it is incredible how time has flown with our two beautiful children.



We have two pet rats, Daisy and Indy...they are fun to have around and a good sub for our little Tash...man we miss her. (Tash is our boxer that is currently still in Utah ) Anyway, things are going as well as possible right now. We love and miss each and every one of you!! Here are some pictures from the past few weeks.
