Yaaaa!
I just want to do what Ive always wanted, and still get to be there for my family during the day taking care of Seth. I want to make him and myself proud.
Hopefully one day work in a great spa or even have my own! :D
Here's to big dreaming and going for the goal.

Play Dough!

We decided to get clever with the Bisquick today.. never made homeade play dough before. I know I know.. but as a kid if I wanted play dough, my parents just bought it. But it was fun, and I love the smell of it. :D

Catch up

Havnt posted in awhile! With Facebook I guess I kinda ignored the blog.
Things are great here. Seth is growing fast and he is so smart. And knows it. That attitude is pretty facinating sometimes. I catch myself saying sheesh how old are you?!
He will be 5 this April! Doing the yearly Cali trip with Disneyland and a big party. He is way excited. He asked for cowboy boots this year. Go figure. I cant wait to see my new nephews either. Our first family pic with them will be taken. :D
I cant believe Kindergarten is soon. I just wish I could sit with him there all day. See how he is with the kids and teachers and how they are with him. He will be going to Layton Christian Academy. Our church. :)
He is excited, he misses his friends. I feel bad, I mean Im sure no kid wants to spend 24/7 with their mom. But we take him lots of places so he can have interaction. And Im so excited, this year he is playing T-ball! In may! Finally old enough for recreational sports.
I enjoy being home though. I really do. But Hopefully soon Ill be going to school for Esthetician. Ive always loved that. Waxing, facials, makeup, skin care.. yay!
But Ill post more, and here are some random pics, just to post.

youre awesome..

Hey all. Just wanted to say hi and thanks for all your posts and concerns. I appreciate it. Its nice to hear when youre so panicky about the future. Ive come to the point where Im very much content being here for now. At first I was blown away. But now I realize I dont need that place or her driving me insane everyday. The stress of her was too much. ( my boss). I was at the point of hating coming to work to even hear her annoying voice. I realized I didnt need that. I was hating the person I was becoming. Sucn anger and bitterness was reaking off me. I didnt need that. She think she had her reason, but to be honest it was just her trying to weed out the bad seed that knew all her dirt and the person she really was. Ther person who never kept her mouth shut when she had a concern or problem. Hey, thats always been me. And I made sure before that her boss knew as well prior to this with not even half my concerns of the kind of person she was.. Which is what started this vicious cycle. Politics is exactly right. Ive heard from more than one person to sue but thats a huge step. Just wanted to give ya more of an idea of what happened, but cant really explain it all except in person. Sigh.. but like Ive said before.. that sickness of walking into that office is no longer there or my problem.
Again, thanks for the comments and support. Nice to know Im not solo.
Loves..

Seriously?!?!

Ok so Im alive. Lost my long time job with Myriad on the 9th. what to say? I have so much to do on that. Hope youre enjoying your throne miss thang. Im not through. Its only just begun.

Anyways.. we are good. Joe has been so supportive. Couldnt do it without you.
I get to be with Seth now. Im loving that. And w/o paying daycare we are actually saving $800/month.
So with unemployment we will be ok while I decide what to do. Work again or go to school. Something Ive always wanted to do. I guess there is my answer. Im thinking beauty colledge -again a lifelong passion. So God speed me!
Any advice from the stay at home mommies? I need as much as I can get.

Eclipse!!!

Going to the premier tonight!! Cannot wait! It better be great, its my fave book!

Gardening..

Please excuse the poor quality, they are on the phone camera.
Anyways, we had fun doing some yard work. We planted pumpkins and wild flowers in front. Hope the pumpkins grow, Ive always wanted some! They are my fave. Seth loved using the hoe and rake.. and of course putting the seeds in the dirt. It was way hot but we had a good time.
Hopefully we can get our own pumpkins! And my mom helped me prune the roses. And man did I get stabbed and scratched a lot. Ow.. I dont know if they are worth it. lol

Gone but never forgotten..

God's Garden
God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, ‘Peace bethine’.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

This saturday my mom called with the news that my great aunt Sally had passed away. She had been sick for awhile and finally it was just her time to go. I was so sad. I cried all day.
I just wanted to say Im going to miss her. She was so sweet to me and Seth. My mom said she wanted Seths pic with her at all times. I wish I could have said goodbye. But Im glad we gave her a great memory she always talked about. It was when she came out here and we all went to Black Island farms for a hayride and picked our own pumpkin. Then I helped her paint it when we got back. It was a great day. We miss you auntie and always will. See you again someday.

I just love him

We had a great fathers day. Went to the aquatic center and had a great time! I took Seth on the big swirly slide and he loved it. Its like a little mini water park. And cheap! Its in Roy. I recommend it.
Just wanted to say Im grateful for Joe and the great Dad he is. He always finds some time to spend with Seth and make him happy.

Love you both!
Happy fathers day to all the great dads out there.

Avenged Sevenfold

Oh yes its that time again. Well September 15th. My band is coming again. Oh Im in heaven. USANA Ampitheatre!
Although they will be touring with a "rebound drummer" Im so glad. Just wanted to say Im a faithful fan no matter what. The Rev will be missed and luckily his fave drummer will be standing in on tour. Mike Portnoy.
Just cant wait to see you all again. Thanks to Cherri, she is taking me for my birthday. :)
Rest in peace Rev. You will always be amazing.
