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 $rich$!

Bryce Canyon

We went down to Bryce Canyon a couple of weeks ago for a family reunion, and I have to admit we had a really good time. When the word family reunion comes to mind all I can think of is crazy family members you don't know doing weird and unusual stuff that makes you roll your eyes. But that didn't happen at all. Of course there where people I didn't know and maybe I don't want to know (hahaha) all in all it was a great time. I think Caitlins best moment was at the family auction when there was a guy who looked like Jacob from the Twilight movies. She said "Mom, look at that guy he looks like Jacob! Who is he?" Of course I didn't know and she didn't like that answer. Tanner's favorite moment was anytime he was able to hang with the other boy cousins. Can you just say boys from the ages 8 to 11 are noisy and very crazy! My favorite part was the hike down into Bryce Canyon with Todd and some other family members. It was absolutely beautiful. I would LOVE to go back there again and hike some of the other trails. So, I think this reunion was a big hit with all of us, and the bonus was getting together with family!

I Wish I Could See You One More Time
Come Walking Through My Door
But, I Know That Is Impossible
I Will Hear Your Voice No More
I Know You Can Feel My Tears
And You Don’t Want Me To Cry
Yet, My Heart Is Broken
Because I Can’t Understand Why
Someone So Precious Had To Die
I Pray That God Will Give Me Strength
And Somehow Get Me Through
As I Struggle With This Heartache
That Was Caused By Losing You

I continue to miss you more and more each day, you were my best friend. I love you and know that I will see you again someday.

Today on Memorial Day I think about all the loved ones I have lost and am thankful I had the chance to know them. You all are forever in my heart.
