So to say that since the last post on my blog my world has been shaken, flipped, broken, and a bit bruised would be an understatement. I know that my life and the craziness that
has enveloped my my family is a tragedy, but I also am just grateful for what I do
have and here are a few things that have been on my mind
1. I am grateful to have happy healthy children that can love both
parents even through the storms
2. The realization that true real friends are hard to come by, and how grateful
I am to have the ones I do have that come over without an invite to lay
on the floor and cry with me til I can see straight enough to get up
3. How I know that even when I feel forgotten, I get a dose of reality
4. For family that believes in the real me
5. Hope, plain and simple
I know that through everything that has gone on that I have to be the best me that i can be, and know that I can be a good person even if no body else is around to tell me so. I am grateful for so many things and this divorce has changed more than just what is obvious. I know that these circumstances were given to me for a reason and there is a lesson to be learned. Thank you to everyone that has been there for me, and for believing in ME!

a FIGHT, XMAS, a PUPPY, a LOST TOOTH, & some GOOD company!

Randall just got home from working out the day after Xmas and came home and asked if I would want to fly to Vegas and watch the UFC fight live, of course anyone that knows me would know how excited I was! So off we went to Vegas for the fight! It was so nice that we were invited to go with these boys cause they are always goin without us so we were stoked to finally get to see it!

Oh Xmas! Man am I glad its OVER! So much was going on at the same time that it was nice to sit back and know it was OVER! Our kids had a blast with all the fam that was in town and friends that had come to visit.

Like we need more babies, RIGHT? This is Tylie and we baught her the night before Xmas Eve and she is so sweet! She is a french bulldog cause ya know we need a little sturdier dog considering we have one in the house that kills hamsters (Kali) HAH!!

(Paige, Briana, Chealsea, Me & Alexa)
Oh and we had some fun in Rocky Point for New Years! There is always giggles when we are all together! We were walking around trying not to get too badly screwed from the village people when we saw these and had to have them! Well you can all see why!

A trip ALONE!

Since we have been married (almost 11 years) We have never gone anywhere by ourselves except last year we went over night at a hotel, but that doesn't really count. So Randall and I went to Hawaii all alone! That is HUGE! It was so much fun! We just hung out on the beach and shopped and just spent time together it was so nice! Here are some pics we didn't really take that many, I didn't want my camera to get sandy, that is why we did not take any til day 2!We also found Dog the Bounty Hunters office, his wife was so rude! Beth was in her car when we pulled up and Randall tried to talk to her and she completely ignored him! We only saw him in his car but Randall would have loved to talk to him!

Family Pics

We were smart this year and got our pics done early! Kristyn always does such a great job, you wouldn't know that there were 8 kids would ya? She had to bring her kids with her and she still such a great job! I am just glad that they are over!

Great Event coming up!!

This is really great! Domestic Bliss in downtown Mesa, The best home place EVER, is doing this event on Saturday to benefit the Neilson family that was in the Plane crash. Super Great cause and a lot of cool stuff will be down there! Come check it out and don't worry you don't need a sitter cause there will be a ton of things for the Whole Fam!

She talked me into skinny jeans too, SCARY!!I do love them now too!And After that we were featured ion Fox10 morning on Monday!OH MY HECK! We were so stinkin excited! They were so nice, and to think I was so nervous! Paige and I had everything we could possibly think of to say written down and when the time came we didn't say any of it!

So......I am a Runner, I think!

So I got this brilliant idea that I am gonna start running,
yea I know I am way late. I have really enjoyed it! I am only running 3 a day right now but starting next week I will be upping my miles by .5 every three days. For some this may be mere peanuts, but for me its HUGE! I also jumped my sister in law & partner in crime (Paige) and of course Brooke, into the whole thing! That is the best part, we go and run @5:30 in the Am and crank the ipods up and just run.......what else is there? I will tell ya, Pure Satisfaction of completing something I have always dreaded! For me this is enough:)

"My Teddi"

Oh man where do I start! I love this gal! She is one of my favorite people! Teddi has been one of my best friends for about ten years now. She is an amazing person that helps me see how crazy I sometimes can be, and loves me anyways! She is amazing! I went back in August to visit her in Louisiana, and no big shocker, we had a blast! She is so not judgmental and loves me even in a bad mood! We hung around her house for a few days and then headed in to New Orleans, which is always a real treat:)I just love this girl and hope one day they can move back here and be with the rest of the not so back woods folk!

So Hard to Believe!

It has been such a crazy year, for so many reasons, and it has all ended up with this sweet baby turning a year old!
I cant hardly believe that all the drama last year puts this sweet baby in my arms @ 1year! She has been such an amazing baby for me! I cannot believe that she is already a year! I just wish that time would have froze for just 1 more day of this! I will be one of those ladies that stops everyone in the grocery store just to see the sweet babies! I will forever love and miss the feeling of that new spirit in my arms, so fresh, just sent from our Father in Heaven.
Here is her cute birthday cake that I got off of my friend Tiffs Blog! The Lady that did it is AMAZING! I thought it suited her just right!
She was so funny! We took the top of the cake and let her just eat as much as she wanted! I thought she would devour it, but she just ate the bow. Man I love this kid! I love ya Q and hope you had a Happy Birthday!

My insanity!

So school has officially started and life has been crazy from day one! Lets just start off by saying the first day of school I was in the hospital with Kali getting her tonsils, atnoids & new tubes put in! Yea that is right last year we were with Reese(above) with her kidney business!
But all went well I am sad to say that I did not get a cute pic of my sweet boys that are always so understanding of this chaos. I do however get my cute girls on the first day of preschool.
Reese felt so big walking into her classroom for the first time! Man I love ya!
Kali could not go to her meet the teacher or to her first day of school, but she was so excited to finally go and be around other kiddos. I have to say she is a tuff little cookie for all that she went through! All in all the new squeeky voice and midnight cries have been pretty minimal! I just love her and hope her real spunk comes back soon!
