Blessing day for Sweet Tenley Rae

Tenley Rae Messsersmith

Obviously, I am incredibley Bias but CUTEST Niece on this entire planet! Last Sunday was her Blessing day and it was a truly awesome day! Her little white dress was picture perfect and she was all smiles!

I love this family picture of the three of them, it is STILL so weird for me to see my little brother with not only a WIFE but this perfect little girl! Watching them develop and grow is such a blessing in my life and I couldn't be happier for them!

Trevor is EXACTLY the way I thought he would be as a dad! His sacracastic personality and rough side doesn't come out when he has his little girl in his arms which makes me laugh, tough guy is really just now a big teddy bear and Tenley has truly stolen his heart... and she knows it. I must say Tenley has both her parents wrapped around her little finger and I don't see that changing in the near future which is EVEN BETTER to watch. All the crap he has given me about being a SUCKA with my kids its awesome watching it all unfold :)

Grandpa Casperson, Josh, Dad, Trevor , Ryan and Miss Tenley.

It was awesome to have my grandparents drive down from Idaho for the weekend and spend time with all of us. My Dad gave Tenley her blessing and I definetly had the water works going as he blessed her life and all the things she will accomplish as the years go on. Ended the day with a Little BBQ at mom's house with some friends and family and although Tenley was stuck eating sweet potatos and applesauce we had some AMAZING food and a great afternoon!

 OF COURSE ... My kids could BARELY handle that the attention of everyone wasn't soley captivated by them! Look at Kamrynns Face.. she was seriously EYEING Tenley across the room as we were taking pictures of her ! CRACKS me up... my lil Sassy Sista!

Two the right the boys in my life look so DANG GOOD on sundays if I do say so myself!

Minutes after that photo Wyatt was refusing to take a family photo trying to show off and totally took a digger off the rock... his PRIDE was extremely hurt! Ugh I tell ya good thing I love them so much!

I love days like these, just reminders of how blessed we are to simply have family and love and the rest is just details. 

Vegas and The LeDuc's!!!

Last week the kids and I were able to make a trip to Vegas!

Carly, Jimmy, and Navee recently moved to Vegas and it had been way to long since we were able to spend some time with them so we planned a trip! Allegiant Air ROCKED with some AMAZING prices for us to go super cheap which made the trip even sweeter!

If I had my wish Carly would just move here to Galt and live next door so we could continue on all with all of our crazyness like we did in college but we have to be big kids these days so I am just glad we are able to still get our trips in to see eachother.

I could NOT get over how cute these two looked rolling their suitcases thru the airport, so grown up yet still so little! They did really well on the trip and security and even with a 3 hour delay they didnt destroy me!

I felt bad for the people sitting in front of sis, she enjoyed her tray table way to much as well as it capabilities to go up and down, but for the most part I had enough junk food and stuff to keep us good for the 57 minute flight. Compared to flying to New York this was a cake walk.

Navee LeDuc we MISSED you! It was so fun to get to spend some quality time with Navee she has grown up so much and I love her personailty. Kamrynn and Navee are only a few days apart in age but she actually LOVED wyatt! She is ONE TOUGH COOKIE (like her mother) so having someone to wrestle with and pick on her was like a dream come true. She is such an easy going little girl, just give her a jumprope or a rock and she will stay busy for hours! :)

A few of the days Carly had to work and the kids and I were out on the town all alone... so of course we hit the strip?! jk.. Vegas has some AMAZING PARKS, Casinos DEF have their perks for communities! All brand new, splash pads, and awesome equipment!

When I was more pumped about the parks then the shopping or anything else I looked and Carly and was like MAN things have changed! I remember the last time Carly and I went to Vegas and were all dressed up in heels and skirts hitting the big lights, this time sweatshirts, tennis shoes and PARKS :)

Oh the PIRATE SHOW!

Grandma Karol had told Wyatt all about the awesome Pirate show he would get to see in Vegas... little did she know that it has CHANGED dramatically from the sword fighting Cannon shooting show it used to be.

DEF targeted to the mature crowd with a girl and a boy boat trying to seduce one another! I was DYING laughing that my kids were so pumped to see this! Luckily they did have the boat sink and there was a few gun shots between the booty shaking and males flexing!

Later we asked Kam how the pirate show went and she said...

"The CAPTAIN took off his SHIRT" hahah! OH WOW!

Mom of the YEAR!

 Double Bob oh how I love you. WE got all three kids in it around town and it was awesome at the airport!

 $12.00 per POUND at the M & M factory but hey we did it !

 One of the BEST parts of our trip was being able to see the new home Carly and Jimmy just closed on!

It is BEAUTIFUL and they scored and AMAZING deal. Carly and I went there a few times to check on paint colors and all that jazz! They are starting the moving process this weekend and I am so excited for them.

We were visiting on Valentines Day so Jimmy was sweet enough to get me flowers too! :) Such a big teddy bear that guy is! These two are some of the best people on this entire planet! I love watching the dynamics of their relationship how much they care for one another! Jimmy tells the best stories and can seriously make me cry in laughter teasing my best friend and her hilarious life tactics! Never a Dull moment!

Packed up and ready to go home, Kids were tired but had a blast!

So thankful we were able to spend time just the kiddos and me as well as visit some of the people closest to my heart. There are few friends in your life that you can pick up right where you left off and never feel like you missed a moment. Meeting Carly at BYU almost 9 years ago was one of the biggest blessings of my life then and she has continued to touch my heart ever since.

Woody and Buzz and Jesse Oh YA!

Toy Story On Ice

Luckily for my kiddos sake I have this super annoying friend who loves to search out things to drag her kid to and usually convinces me to do the same thing so we were at it again Disney on Ice take 3 I think for us!

We did SCORE some really good seats this go around , right in the front of where most the action took place and pretty low so the kids loved that! The story was super cute but I would Definetly say the first half peaked our kiddos interest more then the second. It was one of the longer shows and being that it started at 7:00 it got a little narley at the end!

 My crazy kiddos getting down on their snacks ! Sis kept yelling where is BULLSEYE and Jesse, I had no idea that she liked them so much.  Wyatt was sure to find his Woody doll that I dont think I had seen him play with in FOREVER and show it off, also told me it was his favorite thing in the whole world, funny how that happens.

 Missy Joey and her Chicken Nuggets! It is so fun brining her with the kids because I feel like if every minute they are rocking her world! She is such a well behaved little girl, quiet little voice, and slow pace little mentality. I love IT! She adores my kiddos and do they her, she is still "baby joey" to them and I love seeing how much they care for her. Especially since Kamrynn is a whopping 10 days older then her :)

 Pretty Little Princesses!

They do get pretty crazy with one another at times tho, Kamrynn being the bully I would hate to admit but Joey will hold her own when they start throwing blows haha! Jamies assures me tho even when Joey is older and won't want to invite Kam to her birthday parties she is going to make them be friends regaudless!

 This was the BEST to watch, the were getting DOWN to the music. Totally Rocking it. I tried to convince Wyatt to go dance with the girls but he looked at me like he was no fool and way to mature for that.

 Ya, we left a little early. Kamrynn passed out in my arms, Joey was fighting to keep her eyes open and Wyatt was curled up in a ball on his chair.  We missed the Toys getting back to Andy's house which made us be able to get home WAY FASTER! That parking garage at the stockton arena is INTENSE and in the past we have been stuck in line of traffic for like an hour so Jamie and I were happy to leave a minute early and get out of the mess.... plus hey I had Toy Story DVD playing in the backseat so the kids fell back asleep thinking they were still at the show ! :)

Sooner then later I was teasing Jamie that unless one of us gets a bigger car we won't be able to ride together to these events and that will take all the fun out of it!

Life full of good memories , happy to get to make them!



Showering with Love!

Baby Shower for Mrs. Whitford and Baby Girl

 This past weekend I was able to throw a baby shower for my friend Jamie who is due at the End of March!

She is actaully a Stigelmayer, so when you told me at first she wanted to have a small shower I knew that it was virtually impossible! :) ... nor did I want her to exclude ANY of the people that love her and this new baby just as much as I do so we had a HOUSE FULL of LADIES!! It was great and turned out just how I had hoped. If you know me I LOVE planning events and thankful for the oppurtunity to be apart of this.

 After browsing through the wonderful world of pinterest I tried to get some new ideas to throw into the shower to mix things up a bit.... major problem is I am no where NEAR "creative" when it comes to actually getting the idea in my head out to the world. So, I did what I could to make it happen. Instead of your typical cake decided to do a PREGO BAR. Ice cream bar with all the goodies and treats for toppings. Thank GOODNESS for the dollar store with any party , right? Saves so much money for the same products! Got a bunch of the bulk toppings from that WONDERFUL trip I told you about at Winco .

I am not a HUGE game fan , I know what a debbie downer right? So, we did the Baby game. Got everyone these stylish Beads , courtesy of the Dollar store and you weren't allowed to say the Baby word. Kind of an SUPER EASY game that takes no real effort... Just my style! :0

Our second game became a real "stink" LITERALLY! We decided to go with the guess what chocolate was in the new born "poopy" diaper , NOTE Do NOT PLACE DIAPERS IN MICROWAVE! It was hilarious but rather smelly for a bit as we burned a twix bar and nb diaper trying to get the chocolate to melt. It did however add an extra element when tryign to guess burny chocolate!

Jamie Marie and baby girl about 32 Weeks PREGO I believe. She looks super cute ! She wil probably want to punch me for posting this picture but I think it turned out good!

 Jamie and Joey raking in the loot for the new sis! Baby J is definetly Well loved and beyond set !

 The Family Clan ! Such amazing woman!

I had so many friends help out with brining food, treats and everything else!

Josh had to stop by for a minute and he totally claimed that he could here the chatter of woman out in the shop outside and said it was for sure getting "deep"  inside :)

Can't wait for Baby J's arrival !!! 

Oh Winco !

Doesn't anyone else feel like going to Winco is like a complete workout?! Add the kiddos into the mix whom demanded that we get the HUGE cart that has like the kids seats in the front and then the basket so that we are literally like 8 feet long trucking down the aisles, always a good time! Of course I went on FEB 2 too , DUMB idea everyone gets paid at the first of the month!

Anyways we were checking things off the list, Kamrynn dumped out a huge scoop of flour all over herself and the aisle in the bulk section and of course they put the wrapped valentines candy in the front of the aisle to entice kids to beg their mothers whom are suckas!!

So as I am like starting to sweat with my 8ft cart gettting filled and heavier with the necessities and making false threatening statements to the kids that if they got out of the cart again I was going to beat them, none of which they actually even cared to listen to , and circling the store like 3 times looking for some stupid carmel we were to the end... or shall I say the WORST part!

Check out, now I totally understand and appreciate Winco pricing and making things affordable but bagging your own groceries is really just crazy!

Wyatt was super helpful THROWING things onto the belt to get checked which is always kind of weird because the person in front of you is doing the same song and dance of trying to unload their cart then run their cart the end to start bagging then run back of to the cash register to pay meanwhile my stuff is already like overflowing the belt and getting into theirs .

Well we are all unloaded about to start our check out and after Kam just knocked down 5 boxes of candy on the little side aisles she has to got potty.

I said okay honey lets just wait 2 mins and pay and then we will go....

" NOOOOOO I HAVE TO GO NOW MOMMY, HURRY HURRY NOW" As she dances around and yells.. Well no Fighting that. I look at the CHeckstand lady who I think is already over it for the day and I was like we will be right back there is no holding this 2 year old back.

All three of us run to the bathroom leaving the cart mid aisle .... what are you doing to do right?

Either a puddle on the floor or we keep the traffic moving in line.

We made it out , Smooshed cupcakes after Kamrynn decided to help me bag and literally THREW the bags into the cart and pushed the 8ft cart out to the back 40's of the parking lot.

After loading up the car and drinking like my whole water bottle I kind of just laughed, this is life and it's so funny sometimes but I am so happy to get these type of experiences with my kids pushing to my limits and making me realize that I really can't control everything and just gotta go with the flow, it will all work out and the ride will always be good.

Cooking....Carrot Protein bars..

Did some baking yesterday again, yes another shocker it wasn't from a box either!

I have to admit it was still pretty easy , it is just more work making sure you have all the ingredients, well since I Dont typically cook that is usually my stopping point becuase I don't have them and GEEZE oh PEET buying spices and what not is NOT CHEAP! Luckily we did get a awesome spice and cooking "what not" rack from the wedding that until recent has been a but little decor on my countertops but I have been pleasently suprised to find most these random ingredients in it for the recipes I have been finding!

I made Carrot Protein bars that I got off the bodybuilding website from the famous Jamie Eason. Thiriza had made some pumpkin ones the other day that were AMAZING so I decided to try the carrot. I have to say I think I will go for the pumpkin next time but these are still pretty good.

Josh said if we added Vanilla Creme frosting to them they would be over the top... but since I made protein bars and not CAKE , not gonna happen!

Here is the recipe

Wyatt's growing up..

This morning I was thinking about my little boy as he sat in the back seat of the truck talking my ear off on the way to school, asking me the most random questions and begging me to take him to get a doughnut, all I could think about is how is he such this little person already.

I know it is almost like cliche to say "they grow up so fast" becuase everyone says it but wow its just simply amazing. He is practically self sufficient when we wants to be, gets dressed on his own, can reach the sink to wash and brush his own teeth, reminds me to turn off the lights when we leave the house and tells me to go when its a green light! I am seriously in awe of him everyday, especially the way he deeply cares for his little sister. I love hearing him teach her about things and despite the fact that they fight he just loves her so much.

He told me today that its okay that sissy copies him , she just wants to be cool like he is ! haha!

The other weekend when we were at the Sportsman Expo walking around Josh and I were able to let Wyatt basically do all the cool kid stuff and I looked at him and said it feels like we were just here the other day saying and thinking I wish wyatt was big enough to enjoy this . He loves basically EVERYTHING! Hunting, Fishing, basketball, baseball, football, dirt bikes, rzrs, and doing "work". The best part about it is he remembers everything! Ask my four year old how to hook up your trailer and he will tell you not to forget to plug in the lights or lock the coupler! It KILLS me! Definetly something he got from his Dad ... I don't remember that stuff now!

This is Wyatt's Second season up on the kirkwood ski hill. We went to the Ski swap and got him some used skis and boots this year and he was PUMPED. Him and Grandma hit the mountain this past week and my little man is totally off the bunny hill and on chair 5! If you know Wyatt he is a little timid at first but once he gets the hang of things he is full force. He BOMBS down the mountain!

He loves hanging at the shop. He does Taxes, computer work, sales quads, filing .. you name it!

He also will sit with Josh at night at his desk and do invoicing and billing for hours.

I just love to see how he is growing , my little boy is just becoming so Grown and amazing me everyday!

So YEP I am totally bragging about my son today... I am SO one of THOSE moms! :)

He is a pill as well, I will never deny that but so blessed He calls me MOM!

Oh Sundays......

What a sunday! I love Sundays.. I know most people do but really there is just a sense of calmness on sundays that I LOVE. Today the kiddos and I embarked upon a lil 5K run in Elk grove with some friends of RSF crew. The run consisted of the EG automall and school.. very scenic and beautiful.. bahahah NOT! It was nice to have a run put on in Elk Grove tho , so I should not complain. The double BOB is getting heavier these days, with Wyatt growing like a weed his side is definetly harder for me to counterbalance with Kamrynns. They enjoyed putting me to the test this morning as well... yelling, fighting, attempting to bail out of the stroller ... needless to say not one of my most calm and peaceful runs but still felt good as always.

I will have to say tho I loved seeing some of the newer runners in my life do so well at the run. If you do run you know that amazing feeling you get when you run a little farther or faster then you have before its AMAZING and seeing them reach these points just makes me SMILE writing this.
There really is nothing like running, the runners high is something I yearn for and feel so blessed to have a body that I am able to experience it with. The past few years I have found some really great running buddies that have become some of the closest people in my life which probably why I do enjoy it even more. Running therapy ... great cleanse for this crazy brain of mine.

... meanwhile after the run the kids and I were jamming to church where I had the amazing plan to change in the car, which hey no big deal. Except for the fact that I forgot to pack my brush and makeup .... ITS CHURCH.. whoops. Not only was I "fake" clean.. I couldnt even cover up this face and hot mess of hair I had going on. Luckily my mama bear told me oh your silly you dont even need makeup.... gotta love moms they have to lie to you. Love her.

After church for some odd reason doesnt matter if you had eaten only one hour before you are always starving!! WHY is this? Its like you body just knows that hey its sunday, mom made dinner and you need to eat and then lay flat for a few hours. No matter what it just happens. Maybe its just that your body just finally knows you get to shut down for the afternoon and it is TOTALLY okay but honestly so glad it naturally happens. Another perk is my kids run WILD at my moms which means I dont have the mess.....

So I LOVE sundays! Church to reconnect and get on track for the week, Family all day, Meals , Rest and reminded of my amazing blessings.

Also this week just found some new recipes I am going to attempt ...
who am I? Recipes.. Thiriza is rubbing off on me to much :)

I like blogs, so why don't I write in Mine?

So, I was reading some blogs today, which I find myself doing all of the time alot of peoples that I know and some that I don't and I was kept thinking why don't I keep on my own blog?! Its such a great way to luck back on memories , document things, have fun posting and just a great way to express yourself... and what it all boils down to is WHO CARES if no one reads it or I am the WORST writer on this entire planet and post about BORING things it will be my blog.

I recently coarsed my friend to start a blog with a purpose for a fitness challenge and I was so overly excited to start helping her with her own posts and once again started thinking why aren't I writing in my own blog.

Okay so now I will once again VOW to starting documenting my life more then just FACEBOOK, I am so guilty of posting photos and life junk on facebook and forgetting or neglecting to do it anywhere else. I have these awesome scrapbooks (on my mac) if you know me I dont do the super creative stuff .. just all ready to print and make more and I need to get back on the stick of blogging and our family albums. No Excuses!

Kids are getting so big, Wy man age 4 just as active as active can be. Preschool everyday, shredding his dirtbike and quads, ponies, basketball, soccer and today we had our first Tball practice. I love his observant little personality I swaer if I could be as observant and great of a memory as him my days would be so much smoother. He is so tall and growing by the minute.

Miss Kamrynn Jade is 2 and half and she is the SASSY princess! She portrays herself as this girly girl with her purses and love for pink but watch her in action its a whole different story.

She calls the shots, pushes the boys around and knows how to wrestle. I love watching her personality unfold . She is a Daddys girl for sure.

Josh is still being his insane self working and pushing harder ... gotta love him for it.Maintaining about 100 head of Cattle most of the time "his hobby" and been blessed to stay busy on the construction side of things.

I have finally wore him down lately and he is on a health kick , which is fun for me to watch.

Being newly a "morm" has been fun to watch as well and been such a blessing for our family.

Rock Solid Fitness has really taken off and I am LOVING every minute of this opportunity.

Its funny that ists only been almost 2 years ago that I finally got enough courage to pursue actively training others and I am so glad that the things in my life played out the way they did to push me to do so. We are constantly growing but yet maintaining our small fitness family atmosphere and I just cant describe the HIGH I get from becomming close with all of my clients and really seeing them make these HUGE changes in their life. It MOTIVATES me everyday and I am so happy this endeavor keeps going!

I have been COOKING!!~~ SHOCKER~~\

But I am actually liking it a little bit.. well just the pure fact that we have food in the fridge like left overs is awesome! haha! Not to mention with not just me eating "crazy" and Josh on board it is almost a necessity.Cooking was on of my 10 goals for 2012 that I set with a 30 day challenge I am doing so far so good.

Up and Comming for Us...

I am taking the kids to go to vegas to visit CARLY in FEB! Can't wait, might get a little narley with us three handeling the plane and travel but I am sure we will get through it. We will be there to play for about 4 days, I got AMAZING deals on the flights -- all three of us for $200 TOTAL round trip.... yep just call be bargain shopper! JOSH is stoked he is too is getting a mini vacation from us! ... I know he is totally thinking that.

We are going to Hawaii in April with the Messersmith Fam! I am so excited to go !!

Josh has never been to Hawaii and I have only been to Maui years ago! EXCITED for the beach , relaxing and seeing the kids in the ocean!

So, if anyone is reading this... I will be writing more so check back, even if its to see if I failed at my vow!!!

My closet....

Seriously I know MOST all Females think the same thing while browsing the closet trying to find something to wear or more importantly when they are going on a trip... but HOW do I have a walk in closet full of CLOTHES that NONE of them I really want to wear or really even like!
Even more importantly why in the last 5 times that I have "cleaned my closet out" have I not thrown out all the sweaters from like HIGH SCHOOL, the jeans that have frayed bottoms or the MLLIONS of tshirts that I dont ever even get to wear. I am thinking that if I cleaned my closet for real I would be in SHOCK at how much empty space I would have left over rather then attempting to clean it out and saying that I could probably wear this someday! I also have that VERY TOP shelf going around the entire closet and it is PACKED of crap.. let me think of the last time I actually got on my step stool to see what was up there.. hmmmm YEARS?!?!
So my goal.. GUT this closet, seriously give all this nonsense cluttering up my closet/brain and I am guessing if anything comes out of this it will have an easy decission getting dressed... I will prob have like 5 choices!!

The beauty of working with your family.....

The beauty of this post about the beauty of working with your family is that about 2 HOURS ago I was so overly IRRITATED to be working with my family but the BEAUTY of it is that right now everything is A okay and moved on with. If you work with your family this might make a little more since but seriously on any given moment of any given day working with your family can either be ONE of the BEST things in the world or one of the most emotional moments ever, but the beauty of my family is that no mater how upset or mad we make eachother within a good half an hour we can somehow fix whatever was wrong and manage to finish the day being friends again. I think is primarily has so much to do with the fact that unlike a normal J-O-B this is our life, we eat, breathe, think and live this place and everyone is whole heartly invested in bring the best we can to make it all work it is hard not to have minor or major breakdowns (esp from this girl). There is no Sticking it to the man , calling in sick when you aren't really sick, or just getting by because everyday I feel as if I want to Do the BEST I can for not the business but my family. I know it goes the same for all of most of the people that work in small businesses or family businesses but I guess what I am getting at is that I feel LUCKY today to be able to work shoulder to shoulder with the people that I care more about then anyone in the world.
Family is what this life is all about and tohave the opportunity to be together no matter how mad we get or sick of "shop talk" we are I am thankful that my life took the turn to be doing this with them. I love that I am able to bring my two little "trailer trash" in the making babies here to spice up the days and tests the ropes like I did growing up but really happy that they will get the knowledge and experience of work at a young age and get to experience the behind the scenes details and energy invensted in a business. I know it brought a light to my eyes as I got older and I hope the my kids can have the same experiences.

So the moral of this little story is .... 1. Trevor I am not mad at you for making me cry today... ahaha... 2. So grateful for my parents who have taught me so many things but more inportantly for having the patience to teach me everyday and be patient enough to let me grow and better their business 3. Grateful for family lunches packed in moms office 4. Our stupid little fights or DEFENSE modes just because we hate to admit that we could of done something wrong or hurtful to this precious little place we call " the shop" 5. Thankful for the lessons I will continue to learn and the arguements, hugs, tears, sales, praise, and time I have to be here working with my FAMILY!

ohhh January!

Jan-- how did you get here so quickly, because if I remember correctly back in November I had promised myself I would be keeping up on my blog.. and then somehow its JAN and yep no posts! Christmas was great, it was was the first year that Wyatt
actually understand the whole Christmas concept. The spiritual side of baby Jesus birth and the importance of that (well sort of understood), Santa was a concept he finally fully understood but def didnt want anything to do with him when it came to sitting on his lap or taking pictures. He did manage to give him a high five while he told him what he wanted for chirstmas... but most importantly he was ALL ABOUT opening presents and what present was next! It was fun to see him get so excited about it all, making cookies, christmas caroling with Karol, his preschool christmas program, decorating the tree.. the whole sha bang. He was completly spoiled rotten as usual and the majority of it all wasn't even from us! He now keeps asking me when the next time we will be going to sleep and santa will be coming to visit. My wy guy getting so old and knows what seems like EVERYTHING! He is such an intent listener and watches everything that is going on in his surroundings, his attention for detail amazes me, especially my KID , you know me and what a spazz I am! He is such a good big brother always caring for her sister wondering about what she is doing, what she is going to eat for snack, where her babies are... truley her keeper.

Lil miss wild thang Kamrynn Jade! Still Famous for her crazy hair always a hot mess fills her house with her little squels!

This year for christmas she finally got some girl toys! Babies, dress up clothes, crowns, cribs, high chairs, the works! She still loves following Wyatt around the house yelling him and doing everything he does and loves taking showers, organizing her cards and toys adn my baby girls loves to snack! She is already 19 months old and is just becomming a little big girl!

I am excited to see what this year has to offer for our family! We already got the great news that Thiriza is prego and I get to be an auntie ! Wohoo! I am hoping that business stays busy on all levels of my life with Josh, Cal Custom, and with my new rock solid fitness training. I am seriously loving EVERY minute of how it is going , the people I get to work with and see change, and the new things I get to learn as well go along!
Taking a girls weekend trip this weekend to Seattle! I am excited to get away with my friends and have a great time!!!

I will blog more.. I promise! If this is supposed to be my "journal" then I definetly need to be better at it!!!

Alan Jackson, Football Game and some Oysters...

Wow what a whilwind weekend we had .. TONS of fun but I have to admit this 26 year old runs out of gas so much quicker then the good ole days!

Thursday Night we were lucky enought to head to Arco to See the Alan Jackson concert with Shannon and her gang :0 Josh and I. DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY HITS Alan Jackson HAS?! I t was insane ... I guess he has been in the Biz for EVER but WOW I didn't realize that every other song on country radio was by "AJ" as Josh was referring to him :0 Fun Fact: Alan Jackson has had more the 20 Number one singles and 20 more Top Ten hits all in the first 12 years of his career... It was cute he told the story of how his career had started he was about to give up singing cause his wifey was due with their first little one and then he finally got a hit! THIS DUDE is so LOADED... that was also a major topic of convo while Josh and I were singing to the tunes
The concert was also Chris Young and the Band Perry! They both were great performers and LOVED THEIR new songs.. not to mention Chris Young isn't to bad to look

Friday Night Wyatt, Shannon, and I made it over the The Warriors Stadium to watch the Big Galt High vs. Liberty Ranch football game. Thiriza is coaching the Liberty Ranch Varsity Cheerleading team and I have been trying to get to a game to watch.. I know cheerleading right.. haha, but the girls looked AMAZING, there halftime def set the bar HIGH for cheerleading :0

I did feel kind of like a TRADER as I walked over to the "visitors" side of the stadium and sat on the LIberty Ranch cheering section... but I have to admit I was cheering for the Galt team a bit, hey I am Alumni I gotta support my roots !!! Wyatt loves watching Football , he really wanted to know why his "Pudha" , Trevor wasn't out there playing. He has watched Trevor Play in college and then recently in the Alumni game and didn't understand why he couldn't play in this game! Too cute! Wyatt also informed me he will be playing half back .... my kid , someone tells him on e thing and he retains it all !



The annual Tri Tip and Oyster Feed was on Saturday night!

It is always a good time, although it is crazy to think that it has been over 8 YEARS that I was wearing that blue jacket serving out oysters as fast as possible for tips !!! It is fun to see so many people from the little "galt" country community. I am so happy that I was able to be apart of the FFA in High School I really believe it brings so much to the High School experience as well as brings connections and life skills for the future. So.. THANKYOU to my AG Teachers . I do hope that the program is still going strong when my kiddos are that age, it is just something different then sports or your typical extra curricular activites.

"I DON'T KNOW"

I was just pondering a REALLY bad habit that I am doing way to much... the words " I don't Know"... totally a COPOUT to not answer questions, avoiding extra work , and me being LAZY! Seriously, I have been catching myself telling Wyatt " I don't know"... Now It is probably after he has asked me 30 to 40 questions in a row and most of them being "why?!?!" but I know he is just wanting to take in as much as possible and me saying I don't know is LAME!! Same goes with work sometimes, Rather then stepping out of my little sales and finance box to help out in other ways I used the I dont know... to get out of it! SO NEW GOAL..... " I DO KNOW.. and IF I DON't I CAN FIND OUT! " .... So if you catch me , call me on it!

THis week will be crazy , getting ready to go to Disneyland and then turkey day festivities!!

October has come and gone!

The Last Week of October was a WHIRLWIND of FUN!!

WOW, did October seriously already come and go?!

Halloween was a ton of fun with the kids this year! We started the HALLOWEEN WEEKEND on friday with Wyatt having his Preschool Party during the day and then that evening going to a festival with Trevor and Thiriza. Wyatt decided he would be Mickey Mouse Wizard.. I know why isnt my kid something like typical.. :). Not my WY GUY! Kamrynn was two different costumes this year, starting off with her adorable candy Corn witch costume that Gma Wana got for her.

Then she turned into a cat for Halloween night that Julie got for her, Yes she is SPOILED!

Saturday night we went to the Church "TRUNK OR TREAT" which was fun with games and then all the cars in the parkinglot that the kids got to go trunk to trunk to.

Sunday evening we went over to the Whitford's home to do some real trick or treating!

WE HAVE CANDY coming out of our ears!!!

Every morning Wyatt would ask how many parties are we going on today mom!

Here are my little sneaks in action, Wyatt got the candy bowl down but not gracefully.

Trevor and Sis getting ready for the party!

Thiriza and the kiddos!

Shannon , Thiriza and I went as Ballerinas to our Friends house for a Halloween party!

It was fun to dress up and get sparkly for the evening.

Trevor and Josh were "Step-brothers" and they definetly played the part!

hmm.. I believe this picture is to just really capture the wy and sis love! haha, those two always yelling at eachother but really are the best of friends.

Grandma Karol took the kiddos to pick out pumpkins at the patch. They both picked ones bigger then them. Papa and Grandma came over and helped us carve the pumpkins.

I snuck up on these two yawhos watching cartoons just snugglin !

Molly and Elvis, aren't they cute! Well most the time they are!

Molly is curled up INSIDE their Dog bowl :0

Although they are crazy most the time so glad to have them around!

Well November is here and the HOLIDAYS have begun! I am happy about that just can;t believe they are here already!

My goal.. ONLINE SHOPPING, get it done early and best prices, so I shall begin that trek!

Josh was gone hunting for a few weeks , got home right before halloween which was nice, he shot a 4 by 5 buck that he is proud of, although I don't really care how proud he is , it WONT be in the living room!

yes.. I TURNED 26 as well!

I had a awesome birthday getting to spend time with my Mama most of the day , the suprised by Thiriza and Shannon with mani and pedis and then a SUPRISE dinner with all the most amazing people in my life to celebrate! The day went from what I thought would just be a "nice" day to AMAZING! Thanks to Mom , Thiriza and Shannon for all of it!

26 on the other hand.. UGHHH! Seriously I swear I am like 23 ... NOPE on the DOWNHILL slope to 30! Well I guess I should be counting my blessings for how lucky I am at 26!'

Till Next week, yes I am keeping up on my goal!
