Shout Out!

Happy Birthday to Boompa, My dad has become William's best friend. Even though he is getting up in age he still wrestles and plays cowboys, bullrider and bad guys. Ever since I was small I knew that my dad was someone I could count on. He is a gentle man, never losing his temper and always made me and my siblings feel loved. I appreciate all that he does for me and my family. He is the greatest man I know.

Easter

Our Easter started out with eggs all over the house and a delicious breakfast. The kids looked so cute for Easter, Cheyenne had a blow out just after Sacrament meeting and got pooh all over her dad's shirt and her dress. We went to some friends house for a wonderful Easter Ham and rushed home so that I could make it to our Stake Easter Concert. I had the opportunity to direct the childrens choir. It was a very spiritual night and the children did wonderfully. I love Easter when we celebrate the resurection of Jesus. It has been a challenge teaching William about it, he doesn't comprehend the cross but I know with time and years he will grasp it. Happy Easter to everyone.

Our little Miracle

Having children with me is always a surprise. William was supposed to be Reagan (Surprise) and my little Cheyenne came a little too early. Cheyenne has brought so much joy into our lives. She has been such a wonderful baby since we have brought her home.

My water broke on Thursday and the hospital according to their calculations stated that I was only 28 weeks and that they couldn't deliver my baby. I was airlifted to Good Sam and laid in bed until the following Tuesday when Cheyenne was tired of waiting and came into this world. She was born at 2:22am weighing 3lbs 5oz and 18in long. We love our "Annie". This has been a great 1st year and her brother is just crazy about her. Happy Birthday big girl.

Sickness and Blessings

Yesterday William came down with a bug, he vomitted constantly. I thought since he had been coughing for over a week that he was coming down with Pnemonia, maybe. I got an appt with the Doctor and my Mother came to help with the other kids (Since I do daycare, it's never just the kids and me, occasionally I do get a Friday off though) I am so grateful to have a mom that lives close and is retired. More than that she is always willing to help. My mom and dad have people visiting their home often but they always come to my rescue. My mom has a saying on her notebook at home (She is in the RS Presidency and Dad is in the Stake Presidency) that says Convienence is never Service, Service is never Convienence. I don't know what I would do if I didn't live near my mom. I am so grateful for her help, love and support. She truly is my best friend and I am so glad that she is my mom. William is back to his usual self, jumping around, but one of my daycare kids vommited on the way into the house today, here we go again.

Oh what do we do in the Winter Time in AZ?

Oh what do you do in the winter time?
When it's 80 degrees
You ride to the park,
Run in the sprinklers,
And have a blast.
