Fun with IPhoto

Marli and I were playing around on with iphoto on our new imac. When I watched this, she reminded me of her brother Jaxon. One time when I was videoing Jax at primary children's while he was in Bone Marrow. He was watching himself on the little view finder. He was really watching "What's Jaxon doing?" He had Cheetos in his teeth. he asked "What's wrong with Jaxon's teeth. Marli's little giggle takes me back to listening to Jaxon's sweet giggle.


I know this is pretty silly and freaky, but we thought it was Pretty Funny!

The Calm After The Storm

I'm thankful that I am finally feeling better. It has been a brutal 9 days of being super sick. I went back into the doctor because I wasn't getting any better. They ran a series of blood tests and came to the conclusion that I go through life 24/7 full throttle. I can't keep on that path or my body will continue to shut down. My immune system was so weak from all the stress I've been under. Today I finally feel like I am at peace. Whatever is going to happen is going to happen. I can't stress out about it. I need to accept it and move on. I am enjoying the calm after the storm. On my days off I'm going to quit doing way too much. I'm done living in the fast lane. I was down in bed for several days. Anyone who knows me knows that's just not possible. I didn't have a choice. I can never sit and be still. Having the flu and being that sick forced me to rest. I'm not going to be that hard on myself anymore. So here is the funky Bo-Bunny album I made last Friday night. It was so fun. I think it turned out pretty cool. I just need to print my pictures and put them in it. This was a super fun class.

This picture of Conor is from today. Before church we took some pictures. Conor is obsessed with having something around his neck. He grabbed the camera strap, put it around his neck and I took this shot.

Jakey took a couple of Marli and me (Conor wanted me to hold him and he was still in his p.j.'s)Every time I put him down he'd come back over and tell me he wanted up again.
Marli took these ones of Jakey and Me. Jake kept trying to give me bunny ears so I distracted him by "Rock'in out"

Conor has decided he loves playing on the stairs. No matter how hard I try to block off the stairs he finds his way to them. He was playing with this bus for quite a long time. He was dancing and singing to the music it plays.
Yesterday we had such a fun day as a family. Somehow all three kids ended up in the tub together at the same time. I didn't get any pictures of that. It was pretty insane. There was water everywhere. They had a fun time. We haven't made homemade pizza in ages so we did that. Then Marli helped me make Valentine cookies. The kids played guitar hero for the first time. They loved it. When all the kids were finally in bed I was upstairs watching t.v. (which never happens). Ry came up and asked me if I wanted to play spades on the xboz 360. I said sure. So him and I played cards and had fun just the two of us. It was so nice to sit side by side and laugh and enjoy the time together.

Today after church I was set apart as a primary CTR5 teacher. Jacob and Marli were able to sit in on it. The bishop's counselor gave me a wonderful blessing. The spirit was so strong. I felt this incredible comforting peace wash all over me. I'm grateful for the Priesthood. I'm grateful my kids were able to share that experience with me.

Can I Ask You Something?

Tonight I was laying on the couch downstairs dreading what to make for dinner when the sweetest thing happened. Jakey came and laid with me. The conversation went something like this. Mom are you feeling any better? No Not really. Dad and I have been praying for you to feel better. Mom is the same thing going to happen to you that happened to Jaxon? I don't mean you getting cancer,but Jaxon was too good for this world so Heavenly Father took him back to live with him. (With tears in his eyes he hugs me) Mom I love you so much I want you to feel better. How sweet! Then he went and got his book from the school library and we read it.


The sweetness couldn't last forever at our house. I was in my scrap room getting something when all of a sudden rice was flying everywhere. Apparently Marli was swinging my "Shmuf" (rice bag) that Devon made me and it hit something that spliced it open. Voila!!! Rice everywhere!

I was super proud of myself. I didn't get upset. I didn't even say a bad word. Probably because I just don't have the energy. I never said a bad word . I just grabbed the camera and the vacuum.


It took forever to get all the rice cleaned up.

Conor Loves the vaccum. He isn't scared of it at all. Well he wasn't until tonight. I got out our little vac to clean up the rice. Conor was having fun playing with it.Then I turned it on and was vacumming. I set it down for a second while I moved some things. He grabbed it, his hand went over the hose when it was on. It sucked his hand pretty good. He looked at me like his B/f bit him. Crazy! That reminds me of one more thing. I asked Jake to bring Conor to me today so I could wipe his face. Conor was peeved at Jake for manhandling him. He flipped out and bit Jake's hand. Jake almost cried. He said he bit me! He bit me hard!

Coming To A CrossRoad

Watch out below! This is exactly how I feel! It's super scary hanging off the edge like I am. I knew this day was coming someday. I guess I was just in complete denial. My boss Dr. Fred sold the practice to Jaman Brunson. It's official. He gave him the check and signed the papers. Patients asked was I part of the sale? I'm not exactly sure. Jaman and I are going to sit down and go over things. I am completely overcome with sadness.Time will tell what's going to happen. Fred is going to stay working until the end of April. I feel like I'm loosing everything I have worked so hard for. I'm defiantly at a crossroads in my life. I'm turning it over to The man upstairs. Whatever is supposed to happen will.
For now I'm going to Redicare to see if they can give me something to help me feel better. I have the flu and feel horrible. I'm calling it a day. I think I'll crawl back in bed and hide as long as possible.
