Well I think that I am very lucky! My parents came to stay with me till Wednesday:) I was happy because I was more worried about being alone in my house more then anything. So we have been out all day and I'm sure that we will keep doing so till they leave.

A hunting he will go and a home I will stay

Well Colby took off this morning at 6 to go hunting for a week:( I miss him so much and I think that it's because I know that he is going to be gone to next Thursday. UGH *sigh* I couldn't even get some good sleep knowing that I was going to be with out him for so long and by myself with two kids. I know that I probably shouldn't worry but when Colby gets home he is always my time away and my relief from the kids from being with them all day. Not that I don't love them But I love Colby and when he comes home I want to spend all my time with him. It's 0nly 8:12 in the morning and I know that I am already sorry that he left. :):( I just hope things go ok. Keep in your prayers that I can Handel this!

Well I am almost done with the second Twilight book:) It's so different then the first. But I still have interest in reading it. The other night in my sleep all i could do was read. It was so silly. I would wake up feeling weird because I wasn't sure if it was even the boo. I think that I was making things up. WEIRDO I know! lol

An addiction?

I just finished the first Twilight book
and I could not believe how into it I was:)
She is such an amazing writer.
The way that everything is so
detailed it made me crazy a few
times just trying to imagine it.
It was one of the hardest things
that I think I had to do every
time I tried to put it down.
I think that it might sound silly but
if the words on this page could speak
my tone would be so soft with
only love for this new addiction that
I have found:) lol I think I'm crazy! hehe

Wonderful Weekend

This weekend was SO nice! We won a trip to stay in a cabin up in Island park for two nights. So we finally got to take advantage of it we headed up on Friday. We took the kids and all. It turned out pretty good. Noah had a few little fits but he was really good for the most part. He even slept in his own bed till around 5-6 each morning. But then Colby went in and they both went back to sleep. Elijah did very well also. He only got up to eat once every night. Witch is normal.
On Friday night we got up to are Cabin at about 5 so we started dinner right away because we were starving and ready for ribs. After that we just relaxed and watch a movie and ate pop corn. After that Elijah and Noah were laid down for bed and Colby and I were able to sit in the hot tub and look at the stars for a little while. It was nice to be able to go hot tubing again!

This is one of my favorite pictures.

We found him like this after we came in from the hot tub. He had rolled off his tummy and then off onto the side just like this. lol Silly! His only 2 months and already rolling over:)

Saturday we got up had breakfast and then headed out for a little hiking. We went to this great spot called Coffee Pot and we took a long half mile hike. It ended up being a good mile hike once we were done. Noah had a great time finding walking sticks and look at the animals along the way. Then we headed home for lunch and off to Montana to go the Yellow Stone. We walked around there for about 2hours and had a little ice cream and then off to park so Noah could play while I fed Elijah. After a fun day we took off back to the cabin and decided we were ready for relaxing. So got dinner ready and Noah took a nap so Colby and I ate dinner together witch was kinda nice. Then Noah got up and was cranky so we went in the hot tub to wake him a up and let him play for a little while. He loved so splash and kick like he was swimming. He wanted to jump in the middle and kept getting his face in about half way. So naturally he was ready to get out after a few face fulls of water. After hot tubing Noah ate his dinner and then Colby was ready a little relaxing watching t.v and I was ready for some relaxing and a little Twilight:) I got in just over 100 pages and am for sure glued to it. After a couple hours we were ready for kids to go down and ready for a movie. Not to long after the kids were asleep we were ready for bed also.
Ready to go hiking

he slept this way the whole time. hehe!

Daddy's the best!

Walking stick

there so cute.

Going to Yellow Stone

Yummmmmyyyy Ice cream.

Sunday we got up ate breakfast and then gathered are things and headed out about 2min before are check out time at 10. After that it was off to Mesa falls and it was SO pretty. We were really exited to go see it and just driving around it on the high way you wouldn't think that the valley was so deep. It wasn't to bad hiking to it because of all the stairs but it was worth a few stairs. Then it was home that we were headed to. After arriving it was time for more relaxing and then we went to a families house for yummy home made pizza and the guys were off shooting there bows.
Mesa falls







So all in all it was a wonderful relaxing much needed vacation and the part was we only spent $17 the whole trip and that was well worth it for yummy home made taffy.

Let it begin

So I am getting ready to start the Twilight books. Yup all 4. And I am exited to see how they turn out. So if I don't post a lot it might be because my nose in a book:)
Also we are going up to Island park this weekend. I cant wait for are vacation to start at 3 tomorrow.

I don't think so!!!

So today I went to get a bank statement and I saw that there was a $20 charge from Parenting magazine. I was like WHAT? This is the oh so funny part. I NEVER SAID THEY COULD CHARGE MY ACCOUNT! HAHAH isn't that funny? So I called them and said why is there a $20 charge on my account? I never signed anything saying that I wanted to order Parenting magazine or did i give you my Credit card number! This is what she told me. "Well Mam I'm sorry and I will cancel the order and give you your $20 dollars back. Ugh I can't even believe this $%$&#&#^$&#*^$&#*#^! I should have talked to someone hire up and called the better business Burl and told them what game they were playing. She made it sound like they are doing this to other people. But I'm guessing not everyone is catching this. So make sure your looking at your bank statements frequently.

What a messy day

I think that I just posted a blog ten min ago. Welllll...... as I was cleaning that mess I went into the kitchen I saw syrup allllllll over! It was in the lazy Susan and all over the floor in the kitchen and the t.v room not to mention all over Noah! What a mess. I just don't know what to do with him today. I'm glade it was nap time:( Ugh I just need a break.! I think it calls for a move night. I better call Karen!





Makeup boy

As i was doing laundry I had spaced out on what Noah was doing. After a little while I remembered that he wasn't taking a nap like Elijah was. So when I walked into the living room I found him with my makeup bag and had my blush busted and all over the desk and had written on the computer screen and took my eyeliner and wrote on the chair and desk! Why he likes to wear my makeup I'm not sure but I know for one thing I need to try to get him to stop writing on the computer screen this is like the 10th time he has done it. UGHHHHH I just keep thinking why wasn't I watching him. If he was a girl maybe it would have been different?



If only he new blush dose not go on his lips. But it's a very nice color on him! lol

What a messssssssssss:'(

The love of a man

So today I went and visited Pam. She is the one that is sick. She looked good her head was shaved and they had her on a respirator. All of her family was there and they have been taking really good care of her. What a loving family. She is so lucky! When I went up to see her I gave her some flowers but she didn't get to see because she is still not responsive. But I was very exited to see her and her family. Her husband (our bishop) is so great. He has been by her side ever since this has all happened. Right after I got there the social worker showed up so when they nurses left she went up before me so I didn't really get a good chance to talk to Bishop. But I noticed when he sat down next to her that he took a hold of her hand. :') You could see in that moment his love for her. It is so nice to see how much he cares for her. I now how lucky I am also because Colby always shows his love for me.
On sunday we had to give a talk and he went after I did. My talk was on divotion and I told about how we met and how the Church has changed my life and how much my family means to me. When Colby got up he cried as he told everyone in church that I was his miracle. Everyone that I could see started to cry. Im so lucky that I have some that loves me like he dose. I love him to. Even though I don't always show it like he dose we always know how much we love each other by the things that we do.
I know that I wouldn't be anywhere with out him and I would still be lost. Im glade that I have a love of a man in my life:) <3

............

I couldn't think of a title for my page so I just added a few dots to give it something. A few weeks ago we received a message on my phone asking us to due a special fast for are Bishops family. The news was that his wife had just found out that she had a very serious form of Leukemia. Of course we gave a special prayer and Colby fasted. (I couldn't because I'm nursing Elijah) The next day we saw her at church and went and said hello and asked how she was feeling she replied a little weak but ok. So after church I took over some cinnamon rolls for her family but they were asleep. So I left them with her two boys. After finding out what was going on I could help but be so sad my heart was yearning for some way that I could help them out more then just making them a little snack. But there was nothing but prayer that I could do. As the weeks have gone by things for her have got a lot worse. It started with a rash from some medication that they were giving her. She had gone threw a treatment of Chemotherapy and was having a hard time keeping her food down. After a week of that she had fevers on and off and the rash had got worse. They figured out what the rash was and stop the medication that was causing it and started a new one to get rid of it. This last week things had changed for the worse. Her sisters and brother were tested to see if they would be a match for a Bone Marrow downer for her transplant. But none of them were a match. So they told her that it would be around two months till they could find a done for her. That was this last Monday. On Thursday she had suffered what they thought was a seizure so they were going to do a CT to find out. On Friday they had found out the she has some bleeding behind her right eye in her brain and that she also had a few spots of infection on her brain as well. As this point she is on a respirator because she can't do it on her own. Yesterday the found out that the infection spots were worse then they thought and they wanted to take her in to fix the bleeding. But her platelets were to low so they were going to try to give her some so they could operate. But no such luck today. Today after church we all found out they were going to take her of the respirator. :'( *Tears* My heart is trying to understand things like this every day. They got news today that her infection in her brain is A LOT worse then they thought. So her family has decided to take her of the respirator tonight at 9pm after her daughter gets in from Portland. All I did on the way home was cry for this family. They are so wonderful and such great people that this is so hard for them. What a trial! They have 4 boys and a daughter two of the boys are still at home and there father has been working all week and being able to see her on the weekends. Lucky for them they have family that has been by her side ever since she was admitted. I can't help but look around at my life and what I have and the things that I see. I find myself looking into space thinking about how lucky I am to have the family that I do and if anything like that ever happened that I would want people to be there for us. I also feel like....well I'm not to sure? It's a feeling that I'm not really sure how to explain. It's a mixture of emotions. Sadness, confusion, happens, love and a lot of other feelings all stacked a mile high. I her visiting teacher and really wanted to give her a message so I was able to write her an e-mail with it. After i wrote it I kinda felt a little self accomplishment. I think that it was something that I was supposed to do. I cried a lot while I wrote it because I could feel the spirit as I wrote. The words just seemed to flow out of me. I was amazed at how much I had to say. This months lesson was wonderful to teach and I have two more woman to visit. It was very appropriate for all that has been going on. I'm not really sure what else to say? I'm kind of at a loss for words now! So I will just end in this-
I share with you my Testimony that are Farther in heaven is so amazing that he has a wonderful plan for all of his children. I know that the trials we receive are all things that we can handle and that are Farther in Heaven wouldn't ever give us something that would couldn't. That with are Faith we can over come anything. I bear you my Testimony that there is always someone that cares and that there is always someone that is trying to do something for you even if you don't know it. I know that this is the true Church of Jesus Christ and that his love for us is so amazing and that someday we will have the chance to live with him again. I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday and that when you pray you pray for every blessing that you have and thank are Heavenly father for all he has done us and are wonderful family's:)
