Mother's day

Before I was a Mom;

I had complete control of my mind, my thoughts and my body,

I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside of my body,

I didn't know that having something so small could make me feel so

important,

I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache,

the wonderment, or the satisfaction of being a mom.

Before I was a Mom;

I never knew that something so small could effect my life so much,

I never knew that I could love someone so much,

I never knew I would love being a Mom,

I didn't know the bond between a Mother and her child,

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Mother's day has always been an awkward holiday for me. I read the cards and I don't really feel like they describe my relationship with my Mother. As I get older I am starting to understand  we can't always get what we want, but that doesn't mean it's not good. There are good memories I have of me and my Mom. She has  a great sense of humor, and loves to shop. Crystal found some old photo's that we never knew where around. It made me feel loved, and blessed for the family God gave me. Happy Mother's Day Mom, thank you for teaching me to be head strong and proud to be a woman.

I have been very blessed to have AMAZING women in my life. I have learned so much from them and they have given me more than they will ever know. Happy Mothering day to all of those who have touched my life, in so many ways!

My sister Crystal, has always been a mom to me. She has overcome so much and still is so strong. She is a wonderful Mom, daughter, sister, and Aunt. She always is tries to give me advice, even though the majority time I don't listen! I remember the day she moved out of the house to live in Provo. It was one of the saddest days of my life. She always made life at our house fun and interesting! She has always made it a point to support my kids, and listen when I need to talk. I love you so much, and I am amazed at the wonderful mother you are.

My Grandma Vie Cartwright Paice was by far the sweetest and kindest person I have ever met. There are not many days when I don't think about my great grandparents! She was a great cook, always had a clean home, and always had a peanut butter sandwich waiting for me after school. She was the best keeper of secrets and best of all I could do no wrong at her house!!

Eleanore was not my grandma by blood or birth but I have so much love for such a wonderful lady. I honestly hope to be as loving and understanding as she was. One lady had so many great qualities, she truly was a wonderful example on how to love, live and treat others. Her patience was just as great as her kindness. Her fashion sense was amazing, she is missed every day by so many.

Last but not least Margie, she has taught me much. I was so young and had no clue on how to take care of myself, let alone a baby and a family. She had to answer so many questions and tried to show me how to do things. We are so different, but her abilities to get things done and the love for her family are things I admire about her. She is a wonderful grandma for my kids, and they love her so much. She makes wonderful memories for them all the time.

Happy Mothers day to all the amazing Mothers who have been in my life.



Easter

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him. John 3:16-17

 We had a great Easter weekend, we drove all the way to Mesquite. It was so worth the warm weather and the kids love hanging out with their cousins. Like always Grandma and Grandpa made it a lot of fun. It was so nice to just relax and do nothing for 3 days. I loved watching the kids swim and be silly with their cousins!! It's so fun to watch the kids grow up and see the great people they are becoming. It's sad that they are growing up so fast, but they are really great kids!!



****Jazz Cheer****

Emery and Fallyn are involved in a competitive Cheer group. They had a cheer competition at a local high school. They also were the pre-game entertainment for the Jazz game!!!

My camera is blurry but Fallyn had to do a basket toss, a matrix, and a back handspring. Emery is the base, I'm glad Emery caught her every time!

It was a long day and alot of things going on, but the girls had alot of fun and we watched the Jazz get beat. They were able to meet some of the Jazz dancers!! The girls are growing up and it's alot of fun to watch them interact with other people and see their personalities shine.

Many Faces of Fallyn!!! Happy Birthday!!!

Feb. 3rd 2011, my fun Fallyn turned 11!! I am proud of her, she really has a beaming personality. She is always cracking jokes but has a serious side when it comes to competition.Fallyn, you really do make me so proud. I know God has so many plans for you and I am thankful we get to be a part of it!!

My new office

While the kids were in Minersville I tried to redecorate the extra room. This room had turned into the junk room. It was purple even the ceiling was purple!!! It took me way more time than I thought but I found a great desk at the DI and cute corner shelf. I have never bought or found anything from there, but with a little paint I think it turned out pretty nice.
