Cinderella, Cinderella

Well our lives have changed, at least for the next month.  K has gone on a trip!

Monday Tamra came to my house to do a project before she left to California for vacation.  K was hanging around us being helpful and just out of the blue Tam says if she wasn't careful she'd take her to California on vacation with them.  I immediately thought that was a great idea, since my Mom and Dad live there and it would be a great visit.  So in a whirlwind packing extravaganza we got her ready to go yesterday and today L, K and I got on the Amtrak and dropped K at Tam's house in Chicago.

She's very nervous to be away from home for a whole month, but I know she is going to have a blast.  They are taking 10ish days to get to Cali, hitting Denver and then New Mexico.  I'm a little jealous because they are visiting friends of ours in Denver, and I've never seen New Mexico.  They are also heading to the Grand Canyon (which I have never seen) and a few other "tourist" type places.

We are going to miss her terribly, and not just because she's our Cinderella (ha ha).  She is C's buddy, and whether O admits it or not they love each other.  I hope that she has a wonderful time and makes lots of lasting memories.

That will be such a great trip for her! I have never been away from any of my kids for that long -- I am sure that you will miss her so much, but it is also nice to have one less, no matter who that one less is.

I used to visit my grandparents for a month or even the whole summer and I loved it! It will be a great experience for her. I read about Tam's little detour. Funny, but totally stinks!!! What an adventure though!

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

34 Reasons Why I Love You

Today is Chris Birthday! I'm awful about making plans and doing things for him so this year I have tried my best to be better. We are having a small party if you will , with some friends tonight and having his favorite apple cake with caramel topping. I also wanted to give him a little extra and thought I needed to publicly share some of the reasons why I love him. I'm not big on PDA , public displays of affection not the little handheld computer he carries around. So this is very different for me. 34 Reason Why I love You... 34. You like the same TV shows I do 33. If you don’t like the TV show you watch it anyway 32. You are a great Dad 31. You take care of me when I’m sick (even though I’d rather disappear when you are sick) 30. You are very tidy (OK I’m not) 29. You love my cooking 28. If you don’t love my cooking you are kind about it 27. You can cook 26. You support me in my calling no matter how many nights I’m gone, and it's a lot. 25. You encourage me to go t...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...
