Home Sweet Home or so I thought?!

I remember telling myself that I was never going to move again unless the house burned down and I had no choice.HAHAHAHA!!! I am now laughing at myself because guess what!?!? We are moving!!!! Oh how I despise moving. No, the house didn't burn down. Some things have happened and it is just better for our family to leave the house we are in. Don't get me wrong, the house we are in now is beautiful and I love it and the view is like none other. But when things will benefit your family you need to do whats best for them. This new house is even more beautiful and it's what we want. It is a rambler for Todds knees and it faces west! ( more snow melt) The backyard it very spacious which is perfect for us so we can have our pool! Right now they are finishing up the tile work and getting ready to put in our huge cement patio! The carpet and granite comes next. We are planning on moving in the first week of July. But there is a down side to all this happiness. I HAVE TO PACK!!!! I don't enjoy boxing up all my stuff. I try to do some each day having arguments with myself saying can I pack this or am I going to need it?? Guess when it comes down to it, it all has to go! I don't have any pictures right now but I will try and take some this coming week. Until then I hear a box calling my name.

Can we stop now?

Time is just flying by and I don't know where it is going? I'd like to find it and ask it to please slow down. I can't believe that it is already almost march (one more day to be exact). Todd has been gone a lot lately and that has been pretty hard. But we knew it was going to by like that so we just keep going. Someone told me the other day that we had 10 more months until Christmas. HOLY COW!! That is just nuts! I need my summer first. If you stop and think about it that is really not that far off. So until further notice I am not going to think about it! :) School is more than half way over and summer activities will begin soon. Sing ups for Baseball and swimming, aquatic center and Lagoon. I think we should add another day to the week. One day things might settle down and then I won't have to ask Can we stop now? :)

Hugs and Kisses!

Is that Sunshine I see??

One of the best things that can turn a bad day good is pure SUNSHINE! I know it's only January and everyone keeps telling me to not get excited, but how can you not? Most of the snow is melted and to me that means it needs to be SPRING!
I love the look of blue sky and how the sun feels on your skin. If all my family didn't live here in Utah I would move some place that was warm 365 days a year! Now if only I could convince all my family to move with me! :)

Some Witches

We went to Breakfast with a Witch at Gardner Village in October with some friends. It was so much fun. It was nice being able to just hang out with Caitlin and have some mom daughter time. The breakfast was buffet style and the food was great. The witches came around and talked with you gave you their autographs, sang songs and all sorts of fun stuff. After breakfast we decided to walk around the village and have a good time. Caitlin being 10 just wanted to go off with Kaiti and do their own thing. Watching her walk away made me realize how much she is growing up. She's not the little girl who wants to hold mom's hand anymore. She is becoming more and more independent and becoming her own person. I'm still glad that she wants to spend time with mom and hasn't decided I'm the worse parent in the world. :o)

Turning 9

WOW! I can't believe that my baby is now 9. The time has flown by and I don't know what has happened. These 9 years with Tanner have been amazing! He is the sweetest boy you will ever meet. He is a mommas boy and I'm ok with that. Even being 9 he still wants his hugs and kisses from mom and he's not embarrassed to give them in front of his friends. Speaking of friends, this kid has tons of them. You can ask any 3rd grader at the school if they know who Tanner clark is and they will tell you yes. He loves to play and have a good time.
This year for his Birthday we took a trip up to the cabin. Todd was going to be gone on his actual birthday so we went up the week before. The kids got to ride their 4 wheelers, stay up late and roast marshmallows! We all had a wonderful time and it was nice to get away from cell phones, computers and the noise of the city and be able to relax in piece and quiet. I love that we have the opportunity to get away into the beautiful mountains and that we are able to do it as a family.

Happenings

WOW!! It has been a long time since I posted last. I guess that is how you can tell you are a busy mom!
So what's happened?
Well, school started for my 2 little munchkins (guess I can't really call them little anymore) Caitlin is now in 5th grade and Tanner is in 3rd. I am happy with the teachers they got and the friends that are in their class.
I'm not sure where the summer went? I think I let it pass by my and didn't take enough time to sit back and enjoy it. We did do our yearly family trip to Lava Hot Springs, went to the Roy aquatic Center a few times and hung out with friends. I would have like to have done more exciting things but it's hard when Todd is gone so much.
I think I have some pictures but no promises!
I headed back to work and I LOVE my job! The people I work with are great and so much fun! You can always trust them to make you feel better if you are having a bad day. I am so very blessed to have that job and the friends that come with it!

My life is pretty good and I only see it getting better in the future!

Can I just say.......

WOW!!!! I love this weather!! " Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy" pretty sure that song was wrote for me! Because it fits me to a T! What is there to complain about? Absolutely nothing! If there was ever a way to put a huge bubble around my house and bottle this sunshine for eternity I would surely do it. Maybe I will have to come up with something, bet I would be $rich$!
