LOL

Kashy makes me laugh everyday so before I forget here are some of latest funnies (i forget to write them down and then I forget them)

-at McDonalds the two big kids had frappes and she wanted one so she ate her food and then comes up by me and says "how can I get one of those?" and points to the frappe.

-she was having a rough night and crying about EVERYTHING Kadrey asked her why she was crying she says "because Im a cry baby"

- i was close to her face just looking at her she says "umm...could you get out of my face?!"

-crying at Gpa and Gmas house the other day i asked her what her deal was she says "I just don't like people, ok!!

- she told me she doesn't want too be a big girl anymore just a little girl now so I told her thats fine just no sucking on binkis or peeing in her panties she says "uh..i won't do that!"

- to Kadrey - I don't have enough shoes...well, yes i do but i want more!

High School Soccer for Kadrey

Kadrey is a freshmen this year (and even though the school soccer season is over) i need to share her achievements.  She conditioned all summer and made the Ogden High Soccer Team - She played a ton for the Junior Varsity Team and when the talent was realize (in the second game of the preseason) she played lots of Varsity time also so much in fact that even not being able to play the last two varsity games she had enough playing time that she lettered in soccer, as a freshmen that is huge.  She also was awarded "Best offensive player on JV"

 Im not so great at remembering to take pictures but here a few.

Finished

So for the past year I have been going to school.  Maybe thats why blogging has not happened lol (no) but I pushed through - It was not easy,  I went to the ATC and certified in Medical Office Administration - I know that people go to school for harding diplomas but I am 36 and have 3 children that need my attention so for me it was an accomplishment.  I have not yet found a job, every listing i see wants experience or to be fluent in Spanish but I know i will find a job and that will truly help my family. My attendance was not great - and I felt like I missed out on so much but I did it so Yay Me!
After I took my last final the teacher told me that I was finished and I said "No, I have one more class "(60 hours) and she said "No, you're finished" - i was so excited I was done a month earlier then i had expected.

Kids are too fragile

Well, its been 1 years (on 9/11)  since Jax had his first knee surgery -  he had a small tear in his meniscus and he had some OCD bone lesion around his knee cap.  He did physical therapy and was able to play indoor soccer in the winter.  He then played about half of his spring season of soccer and had to get surgery again.  He was sitting on the couch at Gma and Gpas house when he started to cry saying his knee hurt.  Me being the understanding and patient person i am told him he was fine and to get up.  Three days later (he still could not straighten his leg) I finally took him back to the doc.  The doc said he needed surgery ASAP - he thought the OCD had grown back (even though it USUALLY does not).  We got him into surgery and the doc said it would take about an hour or less.  An hour and a half later they finally came out and got us - no OCD growth, his meniscus and just fallen off his bone and was floating around in him knee area.  We were told that was just a fluke and should never happen again - he should probably build mussel around all his ligament just to be sure that they are safe (he is very bendy lol).  He finished his physical therapy about a month ago and can start playing sports at the end of the month (his doc. says).
Kadrey was on the High School soccer team - on the second to last game she was kicked in the ankle and unable to continue to play so we took her to the foot doc. Her ligament was torn and the tendon that holds it in place stretched out (or the other way around I really don't remember haha). She had surgery last month and starts physical therapy next week.  She should hopefully be able to return to playing soccer in March or April - and this all happened on the day Jax was released to play sports again..... somedays!!!!

the last year and a half

so its been a while I will just post catch up pictures of all that has happened in a year and a half and then I will try to be more diligent about posting lol

Disneyland!!!!!

We were able to go to California the week of Halloween.  We had so much fun.
We stopped at my dads cousins house in Vegas on the way out their, we go to go swimming in October and it was so fun - ok, I didn't really swim but the kids did and so did most everyone else (of course Dan, My parents, Brother RW and wife Vanessa and daughter Addi, and Sister Kali).

Our first day in California we went to the beach - it was ill planned on my part I thought that it would be to cold for anyone to go out into the water so I didn't bring towels and clothes to change into. I was so wrong, the water just called to them and even though it was cold they could not help themselves (well, not Kashy as soon as the first wave crashed into her shines she was done with the water, we played in the sand.)

The rest of the week we spent at Disneyland and it was so fun.  We were able to go to Mickeys Trick or Treat party, dress up and just spend time with each other.  I first day we spent all together, the next day we hung out with RW and his family. On wed we spend time with Kali and Grandma (they went back to the hotel in the afternoon and swam with the kids) Dan and I hung out in California adventure  with some good friends of ours (Jake and David) and had some awesome ice cream.  We then went to dinner with my cousins (who I had not seen in like 14 years) and their kids, such a blast.
We spent our next two days with them and we had so much fun.

 I was so sad that we had to leave. My kids and the cousins hit it off instantly it was like everyone had always known each other and it was just awesome.  It is easy to love people you are related to even if you have never met before.  One cousin told her dad that she had "new cousins" after she got home lol.  It was amazing:) I am so glad that everyone got to experience that.

Church today!

Oh, the funniest thing happened at church today.
First I need to tell you the back story...  Dan almost never goes to church with us, he is usually at work or sleeping after working lots of hours the days before.  He decided to go with us today and we were all so excited:)  For those that do not know we live with my parents and so we go to church with them. My sister is also a rare attender of church but today she also decided to go.

During the sacarment while everyone is being reverent the guy that stands at the door (to make sure it stays closed, or whatever he does) totally let it go (FARTED) so loud and to make it worse Kashlynn yells out EWWW! FARTED! Everyone around us had heard to fart and also heard Kashy so everyone was laughing uncontrollably but trying not to laugh.  I am sure the front of the building was wondering what was wrong with the people in the back lol.  Fun times
