1....2....?....

So they say it comes in 3's right? Well I've has 2 so far, I don't even want to think what #3 is going to be!!!!!





So Max & I went to Youth Conference. We had a good time. I really enjoyed getting to know the kids. Everyone had fun getting really wet and freezing, and then sunburned!! We enjoyed the Manti pageant, everyone that could stay awake!!! And we worked hard at the service project. We had a fun time.



Click on the pictures to see them larger!!


















(if it looks like we weren't working, just ask me about this! This was no regular service project!!!)








Then we got home to this! I saw it before our bus even pulled into the parking lot!!! What a way to ruin the weekend!! Some punk kid ran and put his foot thru my windshield!!!




After I calmed down (with lots of help and patients from Max) It finally got fixed after 3 days!!!




Well #2 hit. We got home from work early and we were getting ready to go to Lagoon for the evening. I heard water running but couldn't find where it was coming from. Upon inspection of my house I found that the hose had been left on and the pressure built up. The sun found a week spot and it popped. I ran to the basement to find MJ's newly renovated room full of water. Let's just say that I tried very hard to stay calm and patient!!!!!






Max sent us away to have fun and forget all of our troubles, so off to lagoon we went!!(without daddy!!)



My brother Matt was in town for a visit and we did have fun that night!!!



























Matt & Ryan took Ruby & Max jr to the big rides. Madilynn and Sophie stayed together for their rides. Honestly, you'd think that they didn't even care that their Moms were even there. They just kept hopping one ride to the next. They had a great time together. I just wish they wouldn't grow up so fast!!!!



So everyone, keep your fingers crossed that #3 won't be too big!!!

New Adventures Begin


So today I start a new adventure. I have a new full time job! I'm really excited about it. I'm a little down about not being with my kids, I'm really going to miss not being with them. I really wish that I could have been with them thru this summer but I couldn't pass up this opportunity. Any Mom that I know wants to be with there kids all the time. I have known for awhile that this was probably going to happen and it happened a bit earlier than I was ready for. Max is great!! He is very supportive and excited for me. My kids keep saying CONGRATULATIONS, it's very cute!! (if they only knew)If you know me I have worked out in the job field since I was 15 years old. I truly have a drive for work. Now don't get me wrong, I love being home with my kids!! The only problem is that my kids are getting bigger and older. I'm not the person that will stay home all day while my kids are in school.


So my life has just gotten busier. I really didn't think that it could get busier!!! Life has funny ways of keeping you going!! So about this blogging thing, I'm behind. I have great pictures from Disneyland that I need to get on. I was going to do that this weekend but I was gone almost all of Saturday. Madi had her final dance performance of the year. She did great, she love to dance!!



Life is so crazy for me right now. I am dealing with so much personal stuff and life stuff. Yesterday I had a break down and my poor husband had to feel it. I don't wish anyone my life and I don't want anyone else's life, but I wish I could change things, make life a bit easier but somethings are out of my control.



OK enough talking. I will try and post those pictures. Now that I won't be seeing any of my friends much anymore I'll try and keep you up to date somehow.



Peace out!!!
P.s We went to Max's soccer game Thursday night, the kids had fun on the play ground and catching butterflies, I watched the game, kind of. Anyway we saw this cool rainbow type thing in the clouds and thought it was really cool. Well on KSL tv the weather man has people send in photos and someone sent this in. It was really cool!! Enjoy

I promise I will post something really soon. I got some fun stuff to share!!!

Shhhhh, be careful.....

Now, don't worry you are not dreaming!!!! Yes I'm posting!!!!! I bet you thought I would never post again!!! See, I do know how to post!!!!


Anyway for all 3 of you that read this I know you all know it's tax time!!! I have been working 12 hour days 3 days a week and 9 hour days on the other 2! It's long days but it doesn't last forever. Only 4 weeks till tax deadline!!! I can't believe how fast it's going this year. I work until June when the kids get out for summer break but the hours go back to regular 7 hour days.

Besides working hard and trying to maintain my house and laundry I am trying to start my own little business. I see a really big need for small business. Most company keep their accounting in QuickBooks software. But like myself, working takes most of your time and keeping up with your bookkeeping gets put behind and soon you are at the end of the year rushing to get it done or paying BIG BUCKS to pay someone else to do it. So I have started CleanBooks. I am hoping that this will grow into a profitable business for me. I truly like working with small business and helping them.

I'm not sure how well it will do or even if this will help me stay home with my kids this next year, but I really think there is potential!! So wish me luck!!! I've been told I can sell anything, now I just need to find my clients.

Anyway, enough about that. Everyone here is healthy for the most part. Max's truck decided to breakdown this week, thankfully it was covered under the warranty! That saved us $1,800.00!!!! I was happy to pay the $100 deductible!!!


I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of my friends for the love and support that they have been giving me and my family these last couple of months!! I would be much more stressed if it weren't for you!!!

I hope to post more often, but don't count on it for a few more weeks, I'm just maintaining life right now!!!


See ya soon!!!!!!
