Thriller How to (funny!)

Please disregard this, it is a really long story why I am putting this on here but it is pretty funny especially for my favorite holiday HALLOWEEN!! Enjoy if you would like

I'm BAAAACK!!

Hey everyone! It has been such a long time since I have blogged and I truly to apologize because I do miss my little journal! Well I am done with all my bookwork for skill and I start my clinicals bright and early in the morning (really early 6 AM!!) But I am so excited!! I am sure after my first couple of "changes" I won't be as excited but I am letting the feeling flow right now! DoIH! bad choice of words! Things are pretty good here just school, work, school work. I have lots of pics to post so I will do just a few to try to catch up.
First we took the kids up to Cache Valley over Labor Day to see the headstone that was put in place, it is really beautiful, plus I caught the little guy talking to Grandpa and telling him all about 1st grade. Seriously tore my heart out!!
We also went up the canyon for a drive and I caught some beautiful pics but just one I had to share. was this....loove it!!

Okay that's all I can handle right now. Happy Fall Y'all!!!

Where am I??

Are you wondering?? So am I!! I have so many things to blog I hope to do a whole lot of catching up this weekend but don't count on it, the list is long... we have had too much of homework, errands, birthdays, outings, work, getting ready for mom to be in school, family visiting crazy, crazy, crazy and it feels like overnight! Did I mention I have a twelve year old now??? ugh! more to come soon I promise!! Toodles!!

My favorite jewelry maker is worth a look at...

So Kelly my friend with the coolest blog, in addition to being a kick it in the bootie photog, also makes amazing jewelry! I have a lovely personalized bracelet she made for me with my kids pics it is seriously my favorite piece of jewelry I own, but don't tell my hubby I do love my wedding ring. Anyway, I added the button to her etsy shop on the side over there on the right. Check it out even if you can't afford anything right now, (like me) it is still fun to dream, if I could by them these lovelies would be at the top of my list! They are worth buying an new outfit to match, just to be able to wear them! LOVE IT!! HAppy day to all!!

OHH WOAHH I gotta gooo!

That's right I am going back to school!!! I am so excited!! I am going to get my CNA and from there I will go on to get my blood sucker certification! I am really excited it just feels like progress and that is great! Wish me luck it has been 13 years since I have been in school!! Thanks for the interest by the way!! Please understand if my posts slow down even more! p.s. do you like the rydell high homage pic!??

Do anyone else feel stuck???

Things are hard right now, and I really think its not just me, I have talked to so many people who are really just struggling right now. I hate feeling that way, I hate feeling like I am not making any progress toward anything...SOOOO I have done something about I can't say yet but stand by the big announcement will be coming in the next couple of days....Do I have you intrigued?? Probably not but it was worth a try! Happy End of Summer!

A Jedi might I be...yes.

So back on the fourth of July we went to the Layton Park (best fireworks ever!! LLLAYTTTON LAAYYTONN!) Anyway who can resist the light up swords?? Not I says me, so it was time to battle we had such a fun day with Cliff, and Chase and Mike and Jim, we missed Paul! and families I was feeling a little frisky so I decided to battle with my new sword and I was pretty good if I do say so myself. The best part was when some of my students saw me and the looks on their faces CLASSIC!!
May the force be with you!
A great defensive move!
Going in for the kill, Was there ever a better face! Ugh!
Did I mention I also scared my own children and all my nieces and nephews by jumping in the pool with them fully clothed, They got over their initial shock and started splashing me pretty soon after that!

Field Trip!

So for another Field Trip we went to the Arts Festival which was way fun, plus we road the train there (makes if funner) Here are some pics of the trip

Now look closesly.....do you see it??? Yes it could be.....right above his lip a little shadow....ahhh!!! Not yet please!!
Of Course it could just be dirt???!!

Anything to not go to bed!

So many of you know I am doing the Biggest Loser contest, and my personal goal right now is by the next weigh in I want to lose 9 pounds I know lofty goal but I am very determined so I have been working out twice a day morning and night. So tonight I started and my kids were supposed to be getting in to bed, but they come down to see what I am doing, and start to join in, and I am so out of breath I can't tell them to go to bed (haha) so we just started to do it together and it was so fun and cute they were totally supporting me! Porter says to me everytime I work out "Mom I think your getting skinnier!" So I thought it was so cute I had John grab the camera and allow myself to by photographed while exercising, (never going to happen again though!) And caught these cute pics of us doing Turbo Jam Fun! Fun! Fun!
