Let me know what you think!!

We went to Tooele over the weekend and spent some time with Jason's old mission companion and his family!! They are so much fun! Samie always wants to ride the

horses when we go and I honestly thought that she wouldn't do it this time, but

she proved me wrong! These are pics of Samie and Peyton both on DASH!!

Apparently he is opposite of his name....he was very slow and gentle with the kids

they loved it and we all had a great time! Thanks Craig and Raine for letting us come

on such short notice!!

Jason walking Dash just in case he decided to live up to his name!!!

Kids and Snakes!!

I never thought in a million years that my kids would ever pick up a snake... okay let me rephrase that.... I never thought Samie would pick up a snake.

Well today was another one of those days when she

proved me wrong! Jason is taking care of my parents yard while they are on

a must needed and deserved vacation!!! So the kids love it when he

irragates and put their swimsuits on and jumped in the truck with dad to go do the water!! I stayed home and took a much needed and deserved afternoon

NAP!! Something I haven't done this whole pregnancy!!

I wake up and check my phone and Jason had sent me some pics so I look at them

and think what the heck is that a snake or a worm.. either way...gross!

So i head over to my parents and the kids run to go get the snake to show me!!

GROSS!!!

Luckily it was dead Jason had smacked it on the head and the kids were so facinated with it even dead!! So since I'm turning a new leaf over with my blogging I had to share it with everyone!

Here's my kids with the nasty, huge and dead snake!!!!

Okay so I know I've been M.I.A. for quite some time.. I hate blogging I will be honest with you but I feel guilty when I dont do it. My guilt finally was too much for me to ignore so I broke down and did a post..a very simple one, but atleast it's something.

We've done so much lately and I cant find my camera to get the pictures so I will just very briefly tell ya!!

*We went to the Oregon Coast for a week or so!!

Had tons of fun and threw up at sea!!! Yeah!!

*Samie had a dance recital and of course kicked everyone else's butt!!

She's such a super star and not even shy.. I dont

know where she gets that from????

*Peyton did spring soccer and almost got in a fight with some kid!!

Instead of getting physical he got verbal and flexed his muscles

and growled at this little boy... I dont know where he

gets this either???

*Oh we are having a baby we surprisingly found out in February

and I'm still in shock and probably will be for the next 18 years or so!

It's a boy and we have no names so ideas are welcome!!!!

We picked our C-section date yesterday so it's set for Oct. 16th!!

I cant wait its gonna be a long summer!

* We had this really awesome friend come into town from Seattle she's pretty much

like our best bff ever and she brought her super cool brother

with her and we played Rock Band for like an hour!

It was the best hour of my life!!

So glad you were able to come down JUST to see us Kelli!!

Love you too!!!

*The kids start their 2nd session of swimming lessons this monday!

They are such little fish! It's great!

* We found out our best friends are FINALLY pregnant.. What a blessing to

be able to be pregnant at the same time as her!! We love you guys!!!

* I went away for a weekend without Jason and kids, but went with my parents

at times I wouldve taken Jason and the kids... like when

my parents and aunt n uncle talk dirty old people talk...ya that was one of them!!

I'm slowly recovering and prayers to help me forget what I heard

are greatly appreciated!!!

Love you mom and dad and Jill and Brent anyways!!!

* I met up with my other bff Ashley in SLC for the day and we went shopping

and had a great time talking about everything! I miss you so much

Ashley and wish you could come back to Boise!! Thanks for the great day!!

Love you too!!

*Met up with my fantastic family in Pocatello on Father's Day for the best thing ever!!

TACO SPAGHETTI!!

Don't try to gag yourself at the sound of it, it's acually sooooo super good!

*We spent 2 days at my brothers in Idaho Falls and had a great time.....

AS USUAL!!

and yes it made us want to move there.....again.... it always does!!

So here are some of the pics from our time with my brother doug

and his family!! We had a great time and Thanks doug and darcy for

letting us come chill with you guys!!

Love you!!

* We started the day heading to Mesa Falls and hit this spot on the way there!

We got to the falls and decided to keep going by dinner time we were in Yellowstone and

wanted to stay the night, but who knew all of West Yellowstone would be totally

sold out!!! On a week day!! So much for last minute plans with nothing but the

clothes on your back.. So we turned around and went back to Idaho Falls!

Here's the pics of the trip!!

So we went up to McCall on 2/20! We took Paul and Raeann and we also brought our babysitter Talisha to help us keep the kids under control!! Ha just kidding we brought her for fun!! So first thing saturday morning the 4 bigger adults went out and went snowmobiling!! We had a great time. Later in the day Rae and I went back to the cabin to get Talisha and the kids! The boys stayed behind and had some boy time to do "big boy jumps!!!" Here's some of the pics of what we did!! We had a great time as always and loved having Paul and Raeann and Talisha come up!! It was a great time and we always have such great pics to prove it!!!

Who Knows Why??

So I don't really know what to title this post. It seems that the last 3 years for me has been filled with so much infertility whether it's my own or some of my dearest friends.

It was hard for Jason and I to come to the decision that our family is complete as it is. ( I think I'm more ok with it then Jason at times) I have 2 of the best kids in the world. Even when Samie says she hates me and is going to go find a new mom and Peyton writes his name and in the middle of the O draws a line and centers a hole and says he has a butt hole in his name. I know horrible and yes I taught him that, it's my own fault. I still am so grateful for them and all the joys and heartache that comes with it!!

I'm having such a hard time believing that that's how it is supposed to be for 2 of my best friends. The last 7 to 8 months for both of them has been so hard and such a rocky road and I just don't understand why. I know all the spiritual answers and sometimes those are just not the answers anyone wants to hear or except. Even though I'm not going through what they are personally and physically, I am emotionally. I feel their trauma, disappointments, heartache, and emptiness with them. I'm sure not as strong, but I do truly wish that they could both have what they are wanting so bad. There's so many unwanted babies in the world and to think that my friends can't just get have one of their own. (Adoption is always great but can be just as heartbreaking and disappointing as not having your own) I know that I would never want to be the one that makes that decision for everyone. I would never want the Lord's job..... to decide who gets a baby and who doesn't, who gets a baby for 11 weeks, 13 weeks, 6 months, or even full term and then the Lord decides its not "the right time" and my friends lose those babies. Miscarriage is something I have never experienced and would never want to. I'm so heartbroken and wish things could be different. I've never wanted someone else to have a baby as much as I have with these 2 great friends! They are so more than deserving of the blessing of a child. Whether it's their first or the 3rd. I just want them to have what they want so bad it's such an unselfish wish. I heard the song I Believe my Diamond Rio and it just brought tears to my eyes and so much heartache for my friends I couldn't even function. I have it on my playlist please listen to it and think of those who haven't been able to be blessed with a child. It made it so much more real for me.

So to my friends who know who they are.......... I just want you guys to know how much I love you and truly wish for you guys to be blessed with a child of your own to love and to share your special talents and your life with and to raise them to be just as great as people as you guys are and to be great friends to others and you have both been to me and my family..... You have so much more to offer a child than even myself at this point. I just want this SO BAD for the 2 of you I can't even put it into words. I know that you both have excellent husbands to support you and your families and I wish this for both of your families!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS SOOOOOO MUCH! XOXOXO
