My JL

I love that you can see his birthmark on his left wrist. It's in the shape of a heart, and I always tell him I gave that to him, so he'd always remember that I love him!

JT, JS, and JL...cute kids!

CRAZY TIMES

Life has been crazy...
In June, I had a full hysterectomy and am STILL trying to recover. It's been harder than I thought it would be. I am just plain exhausted, and everything I do takes hours to complete. The kids have been awesome to help out, and do their chores without too much arguing. I have so many good friends and awesome family that has helped out, too.
JL and JS get up every morning and go over to Shayla's house to feed her animals and sometimes clean out cages too. They have been very happy to help Shayla and haven't complained once. JL even stayed there one day while I ran errands to keep Shayla's girls busy and help with Shayla's chores. Shayla said that if she asked her to do anything she would say..."I would LOVE to..." I'm so glad that she is willing to help, and that she cares for our very sick neighbor who needs us. I have enjoyed being a kind of Mom to Moe and Edyn. They are such amazing girls who get along AWESOME with my kids, and hardly ever complain. (Plus Edyn is a snuggler which I LOVE LOVE LOVE.)
JS just finished his first season playing tee ball...he LOVES baseball like you wouldn't believe. He was lucky enough to go with his Uncle Brandon and my Dad to Colorado a couple weeks ago to watch the Rockies play his favorite team, the Red Sox. He takes the game very seriously and I am sooo wondering where that came from...geeee...i'm not sure...um STEVE!




This is one of my favorite pictures of Steve and JS...Steve was a fun part of JS playing ball..

He hit the ball every time!!

He loves this game!

Steve tellin JS what to do...lol

JT gave him hugs after every hit!

He reminds me of his Daddy...

What a handsome little guy!!!

JL had her recital, and her pictures are on my Mom's camera, so i'll have to post those pictures later! Thanks to Jackie for taking all these pictures of JS for me since I was working during most of the games! You rock woman! I love our neighborhood! It has been an amazing time for us to be here. I am so glad that we made the move we did when we did it. We have made so many fun friends, I can't even believe it!! Anyway, life is good...couldn't ask for more...

A good friend...

...the first day we moved here, I had a cute little blonde girl in our new place playing with JL. She said her name was Moe. I told her that I would have to meet her mama before JL could go over and play. It wasn't long before Shayla came over to introduce herself, and later bring us these DELICIOUS chocolate chip cookies. She left the house thru the garage and saw my Matchbox sign and about had a coronary! She was a Rob fan too...and instantly we were bonded! We had the same pregnancy stories, the same likes/dislikes, and that was the beginning of a good friendship.
She came over at the end of April to tell me that she was gonna go to the Dr and talk about having another baby (which was scary since she gets as sick as me) and she was glowing! She went to the Dr and later came to tell me that she had an appointment at Huntsman cancer center. They were pretty sure she had breast cancer. They did a biopsy a few days later, and last week they confirmed the fact that she had breast cancer. On Monday she had a double massectomy and they removed a tumor in her lymph nodes. She is healing and doing well. Shayla is exactly 4 months older than me is all. Please pray for my cute friend! We are going to do a relay for life on the 4th of June @ Weber State. I love my Rob fan friend. When she same home, we had the house all sparkling, and decorated the porch and I left a sign on her door that said 'The rain's gonna wash away. I believe this. ~Rob Thomas.' I love ya, Shayla!

I still can't believe that they got to meet Pres Monson! Found this new picture today and HAD to post it!

JL's Jazz game performance and Utah Dance championships!

Pres Monson and some of the girls

The girls and all their trophies! The cheer team won 1st place!


JL is on LA's shoulders on the left!

Cute girls...

We got to watch Kyle warm up! JL lost her ticket backstage during the rehearsal, so I went back in the tunnel to find it. A janitor ended up finding it, but I found Kyle back there, too. Of course my stuff was on the court with the other moms and I didnt have my camera, but let me tell ya...he is so cute! haha! Oh and he smells as good as he looks!!

picture with the jazz dancers...

After the girls' performance, we went back into the tunnel, and President Monson was there. The girls got their pictures with him, and I stood there like a dummy not taking pictures. I have some friends with better pictures of him and JL and me, but I snapped this one as he was walking away...this is what it looks like if you were following the prophet tho...!!! He actually spent a minute and talked to my brother which was really REALLY cool. The next morning, JL woke up and looked at me and said..."I met the PROPHET!" She was more excited about that than the jazz performance! Everyone was shaking his hand, and JL and LA were hugging him around the waist so tight! haha!
