Halloween Time

Boy do I love Halloween... This year the kids really were not as excited as I had hoped they would be. I guess they are just getting to old for this stuff. Makes me a little sad but kids do have to grow up and I guess that is what mine are doing. J worked really hard on C's costume and it turned out awesome. R was able to borrow her's from my best friend which worked out great. We had a great night and ate yummy food that J made. Halloween would not be Halloween without my mom's famous popcorn balls. I wonder what next year will hold. Here are the pictures from our awesome night :) Enjoy!!

I did it

So I have finally done it... I signed up for The Ragnar "Wasatch Back", the Ogden Half Marathon and will be signing up for the Salt Lake Half in the next couple of weeks. If you wonder why "I" someone who does not call herself a runner would sign up for these events just know that someone very important to me has shown me the light. Bunny was very into keeping in shape and being healthy and I have made that my goal as well. So I have decided to get going and running is where I will start.

I did my first official 5k which was the run for bun event. It was a very emotional day and to top it off a huge boulder jumped out in front of my causing me to ram into it with my knees. Yes I know only I could find a boulder and proceed to run into it. And no it did not stop me.. I kept going because who can stop when you hear the person you are doing it for telling you that you can do it. It was hard but I did it and I feel so amazing!! My legs would disagree but currently I am fighting with them.
So I have vowed to never say that I am not a runner! I may be slow but I try my hardest and that is all that matters. I know that Bunny is looking down and at times laughing at my attempt to run but also I can hear her pushing me telling me that I can do anything. I feel blessed everyday because I still am here and able to be with the ones I love.
Wish me luck!

It's been to long

It has been a very longtime since I have been on here. It has been crazy busy around here... some good some bad.
I decided that I needed to take some time away from blogging. I talked to a friend the other day about some of the things that have happened and she suggested to write about it so here it goes.
As most of you know my dear cousin bunny passed away in July. She was such an amazing person and has been greatly missed. I have had a really hard time with this and have been struggling. I know that she is watching us all and at times I think she is there with me.
I was thinking of ways to honor her and decided that I would run the Wasatch Back with some friends because Bunny was all about fitness and staying active.
There is also a great 5k planned in Bunny's honor on October 9th that I will be apart of.
I just can not believe how many lives Bunny touched. She will always be in my thoughts and I will live each day trying to be more like her.
If anyone is interested in donating or being apart of the 5K here is the link to sign up http://www.runforbun.com/ It should be up soon with all the registration info.

October Blah what more can I say!

October started out pretty rough for me. On Sunday I felt horrible, by Tuesday I went to the Dr who said I had the flu, by Saturday my mom told me I needed to go to instacare because I couldn't stop coughing. I went to Instacare to find out I had Pneumonia and from there they gave me treatments. By Monday I was not any better so the Instacare sent me to the hospital where I spent the next day and a half. I had only thought Pneumonia was bad for babies and older people, but I learned that it is a big deal. I was pretty scared which I didn't tell anyone because there wasn't much anyone could do. I talked with my mom who just knew that I needed her out here with me even though I was not saying so. My amazing mother and father drove out here and my mom stayed for the next 2 weeks. I went on Short Term Leave because of how crazy the healing process is. I was so lucky to have my mom here wit me. She did everything for me like cleaned my house, washed my blinds, sewed skirts for my daughter, made dinners, picked up kids, the list just goes on and on. One main thing is she cared for me. It was great to have her around. She thinks that she got on my nerves but she didn't.... Not once! She even brought her dog McT who is such a cutie. Him and Maddie became best friends and even though the cats were pains they still looked for him the day he left. The day they left was a pretty crappy day. I cried a lot and then my kids came home and they cried because they were so use to grandma being here and she wasn't. The kids want to go visit even though my mom thinks she is the mean grandma. Heehee I have now returned to work and I am doing a ton better. I even took the kids trick or treating which was a blast. Here are some pics of them. They are not so good because I didnt have a chance to get my good camera or even change settings.



Cade was Yoda and Reise was a vampire. I am excited that October is over and I am hoping that November will be a way better month.
