Fabulous Felix Fam

Yes I am making a blog! I have so many good people around me and so many fun laughs to not share them. First of all we took a little trip up north this weekand and it was the fun of all funs! I have pictures coming so be patient with me. Me, Ben and our kids, Brian and Dorothy and their kids and Cami and Jera were all there and we had a good time learning how to jump for a picture, swimming in a nice heated pool when it is snowing outside, and having an awesome snowball fight- but I don't like Conner's snowballs they hurt!! Well it was Conner and Caitlin's first time snowboarding and they are stinkin naturals, I admire people that can just do things the first time and just do it!! I just think I want to be able to try things once and be good at it, but it is so hard!!! (hello wakeboarding!) But the kids had such a good time, but they are so soar today. And Cade thinks that he needs to learn how to snowboard when he is 6. He was so bummed that he didn't get to learn and go out there with Conner and Colton. Maybe someday Cade, it can happen, as soon as you can not cry because you are in the snow for more than an hour! It was so funny when we were coming home Cade said that he had an Ear Confection, you know how your ears pop and we adults don't even think about it we just yawn, chew gum or do like I do and plug my nose and blow out my eardrum (I know that's bad!!) But anyway Cade was freaking out and he couldn't yawn and the chewing of the gum wasn't working either. So we told him to take a nap and that it would go away, but he didn't seem to buy that. But anyway he just kept saying that his ear confection isn't going away, we were cracking up so hard. His ears finally popped and then he was happy! Then we got to visit our cousins, The Jones's! What an awesome family and they are always so welcoming. What a great time , with great people! Thanks for the fun! Well I have more to blog about but a different subject, so stay tuned!!

Well this was quite depressing but kind of funny too!! This morning I was getting ready for church and Camryn came and sat down waiting patiently for me to do her hair. She preceeded to tell me that I was going to be her favorite channel in two weeks, and I asked her what she meant by that, and she said that my birthday is coming up in two weeks and that I am turning 37 , her favorite T.V. Channel (Nickelodeon). I was laughing so hard. I said you are right I am going to be 37 and this will be a magic Nickelodeon of a Birthday!!! That means that I need to have Spongebob plates, and Drake and Josh Balloons, and Jimmy Neutron goodie bags. It's all about Channel 37, so hang on people its going to be rockin!!

This week at the kid's school is Shark Attack Week!! It is so fun for them, I will add some pictures later, but they had Hammerhead Hawaiian Day, Today is Dolphin Doo's for crazy hair day, tomorrow is Fish Friends Day for Twin Day, and tomorrow is Silly Starfish Sock Day, and then Friday is Shark Spirit Day where you wear the school colors!!! The kids really enjoy being crazy and having a good time. Conner left the house this morning with a mohawk and it was probably 4 different colors. And the funny thing is, is that he didn't even care what he looked like! We also have a shark spirit store at school and they are selling, water bottles, shark tooth necklaces, shark stuffed animals and things like that. It is so cool to be Chaparral Sharks, what a cool mascot. Sharks Rule, even though they scare me to death!!

Sometimes do you just sit and wonder what life would be like if you made a different choice. I think we all do that at least once in our lifetime(I might more than others). But then you see in futuristic movies that you can make a different choice and it totally makes the whole entire movie a different picture to watch. Is that something that I would like to jeapordize, I don't think so. I want to have my same bff's, I want my children to be who they are, I want to have my callings in life,and I wouldn't change anything about my family, they rock!!
Sometimes life can just be hard and sometimes you think what can happen next, but in all honesty it is all about how you handle it. This world is a crazy one, and there are so many things that can make or break you. I just have decided not to be broken.
There is a song I love and it pretty much says it all........

Never had an ordinary day
Never lived your life in an ordinary way
For everything you loved you paid a price
But you couldn’t let the world see you cry

Never had a moment of peace
Never felt the sunlight when the worries set you free
Every time your life turned a page
It seemed like your heart might break

With the world on your shoulders
When the nights had grown colder
You seemed to weather every storm
With a queen’s grace
I’m sure the angels stood in reverence as you prayed
How much can one heart take

It is so true, how much can one heart take, well apparently my heart is pretty strong and I think I can give one darn good transplant when I am gone from this earth. Can I just tell you that I love my testimony, that is the most wonderful thing a person can have. I think it is the band-aid on my ouchies(mama talk). I am not going to be broken!!

I am a little late on writing about our Ward Campout!! But there is the funniest story that I couldn't keep to myself!! I have got to share this with you all. There were quite a few funny stories, but I will just tell this one. A group of people in the ward were gathered around and Cade was asked when his birthday was and how old he was, so he proceeded to tell that his birthday was 2007 and that he was 4 but he looks like he is 6!! I just about lost it, I was laughing so hard!! He is a character and his funny little playmate Paige is the exact amount of funnyness!!!They were cracking everyone up at Camp. This is a picture where they were told to do a cheer or something funny for the camera and Cade turns to Paige and says lets do the Cowboy, so they got there lasso's ready and turned in circles and did the cowboy!! I love little kids and there sense of humors!! It really make my day.



This was the gang of the Teenage Mutant Ninjas, with a litte dollop of Cami D.!! They had alot of fun, being crazy, sleeping out under the stars, and catching snakes!!

Now here are two perfect little girls playing and having a great time. They were the cool Second Graders!! They loved to be imaginative and having a good time.

And then there are the two trouble makers!! What a great friend I have, I am so lucky to be blessed with someone that I can laugh with, chill with (whenever, and I mean that), she understands me, she is there for me, and most of all the whole family is the perfect package!! I love them all. Thanks for being a Great friend!!

Well now here is a story for ya!!! My wonderful, awesome, friends in the world who I could never live without......... The Betz Family!! They rock and boy do they know how to play a pranksta Joke!! The whole family came over last week, and Jess came inside and had the look of death on her face. She told me that there had been an accident and that it had to do with Conner. He was skateboarding and fell and broke his arm. And he was standing there with a broken arm and a bandage on his head. I was freaking out, I felt so bad for Conner. But he looked like he was dealing with the pain fairly well. Well then they proceeded to tell me that they took care of everything and got Conner all bandaged up and took him to the hospital and everything. Now holy cow I felt so bad that they had to take care of all that, and that they even took it upon themselves to deal with all of this(not knowing it was a joke yet, I was freaking out)But anyway, then Jess broke and had to tell me that this was not for real, she couldn't hold it in any longer, I would have kept believing seriously!!! She is so hilarious, and then after I found out the somewhat disappointing news that this was all a joke, I couldn't stop laughing about it, even later that night, I was just giggling!!! But the funny thing about being disappointing, I know this is going to sound terrible, but I have never had a kid that has had a broken an arm or leg and had to get a cast on. So I was kind of looking forward to signing a cast for my kid!!! Is that the stupidest thing ever, what terrible mom I am!!! Now I will probably jinks myself! Well anyway, it was a great prank and Conner played it very well, he even looked a little pale. It was a great prank Betz family, thanks for the Fun!!

My kids seriously live in the water. What a blast to have a pool!! The kids have so much fun and they do the funniest things, I think water really makes them crazy!! But I know one things is for sure it defintely wears them out, they sure sleep great when they have swam for the day. Conner and Colton thought it would be cool to put this fun Pool Party sign under the water and then , Conner thought it would be even more fun to go under water himself. I wonder if I ever thought of these crazy ideas when I was a kid, if you talk to my brother Brian, I am sure he would have something to say about that!!!
So if anyone wants to come over for a pool party, there is not much more swimming time left!!! Come on over and join in the crazy fun.

Well this is the funniest story about Cade and his suit. When I was a kid , I remember this story like it was yesterday. But my little brother Stevie loved going to church and he would get so proud of wearing his light powdered blue suit. I have a pictue of him, so when I find it I will post it, it is just the best.
Well anyway, I don't know why but I have never got my boys a suit, probably because they were so expensive or something. But I went to the DI just recently and found this little suit that would fit Cade so I had to buy it, not to mention it was only $2.00. So when I brought it home, Cade just about had a heart attack. He wanted to wear that suit to Bed he was so excited. So when church came , I put that suit on him and his tie and he said where are my scriptures, so I had to get him his sriptures. And he was set, he was so happy and I just had to take a picture of him. And it totally reminded me of my little brother Stevie. And now Colton and Conner are mad because they never had a suit. I need to work on that one. But these are my boys but most importantly - My missionaries!!!
