Are you truly happy?

Today I sat down to reflect and I started to think about my life. Now don't get me wrong I have issues. Tons of them, like to be my friend you have to earn it. That sounds so bad I know. But I mean it takes a lot for me to trust people. I know it all stems from my childhood. It wasn't the best. Now don't start feeling bad for me because I don't. All the things I had to go through as a kid made me who I am today. A strong, loving, fun, happy person who would do anything for my family or friends. I know this is also why I get a little crazy, ok a lot crazy when it comes to my kids and their happiness. If nothing else I do in life its to make my children's life's meaningful, happy and to make sure they know without a doubt that I love them. Then I have done my job as a mother. I think my kids are kids and they do make mistakes but that's how they grow as people. Learning from their own mistakes. I seem to be a people watcher. I find myself looking at people and wondering if they are happy? Maybe that's weird? You tell me. . I love Justin more everyday. When I see him, he makes me smile after 17 years. It's a very rare day we don't laugh with each other and our kids. I love how he just holds my hand, opens the car door for me at church and brings me sunflowers from the side of the road. Just because he thought I would love them. Everyday I am thankful for my life. Which is not perfect but its mine and mine alone. I wish everyone could bring a little happiness into their lives and smile a little bit more. You can be truly happy. You just have to want to be.

Come on people!!

Come on people SERIOUSLY!! Sometimes I just don't get people and common sense. Or the lack there of. Friday night was the last time was saw our kitten as we went to bed. We got home from Garrett's football game to him running in saying "where is Puff mom?" So we started a hunt thinking he got out of the garage while we were gone. We started calling him all around the block looking in our neighbors yards. NO Puff. I then told a tearful Garrett to get in the car and we will go for a drive. Now Puff has never gone farther than our next door neighbors house. We went a block over to look and around to the connecting cul-de-sac No luck. I told Garrett we will find him. Last night after looking for about 40 min. again we gave up. After church today I told him to call his friend on the connecting cul-de-sac to ask. He said he hadn't seen him but if he does he will call us. So not 2 min. later he called back. His mom had seen one of the neighbors kids with a kitten a fluffy one. So out the door he went to check it out. When he came back he had him. With a big smile on his face. Now wouldn't you think if a kitten somehow shows up around your house or your kids drag one home.You might wonder where it came from? You would wonder who's it was? No not this family they just thought( Oh a cute fat kitten I will keep it!!!) He was a block and a half away this whole time. As Garrett went walking up to the house he was talking to his buddy that had called him. Puff must of heard him because he came running toward him! So happy to be saved! The only funny thing about the story is that Brynn nicknamed him Kid when we first got him. So now we laugh and say he is Kid-napped! Some people!

The Kid happy to be home!

Firehouse Fun!

Dane and Karly

On Sat. Karly came down and Dane took her over to the firehouse to play pool. Then later they went to the movie G.I. JOE . After that they went to go get some dinner. We love Karly and are happy when she can come here. Later that night Brynn had a little get together with some friends and they wanted to go to the firehouse. The boys that came from Piute loved the trucks Ha Ha and asked Justin for a ride. What's funny is they said they felt like little kids again. LOL So I snapped a pic of them after they got done with the ride. Brooke, Corley, Wyatt and Jaxon were their too. But I didn't get a pic of them. They watched a movie later that night. Fun Fun Fun

Roger, Alex, Brynn, Dillon

Jr. Rams

Garrett's 7th grade team won again today 28 to 0 another shut-out! They played Millard! YAHOO! Garrett starts and plays both ways offense and defense!

Another Win

Tonight we played North Sevier and Won!!! 34 to 7 YIPPEE!! Way to go RAMS! Dane got the offensive linemen of the game for last weeks game against Gunnison. AWESOME!!

Yo Yo! We are out of here!

We headed to North Sanpete for Garrett's game on Wednesday. They were the only team again to bring home a win! 14 to 0 We are loving it because they have shut both teams out both games! Last night we went to North Sevier for the JV game. They won them 32 to 27! After the game the juniors come over to the bleachers and start to change their clothes so we were out of there! I guess its like they think everyone is looking at other stuff or something! YIKES! LOL I think they all change everyday outside the school before practice so they think they can do it anywhere! I took Brynn to the back of the school once until I was told they all change in plain view. So needless to say I won't drive near the back of the school during football season.




I got the pick before the changing started He He

Dinner and a Movie

On Sat. Dane headed up to Juab for a date with his girlfriend Karly:) They had fun night playing Disney's scene it. Karly is the grand champion. Dane thought he would win be she dominated!!



Then they had homemade pizza and bread sticks YUM! Dane said it was so good! After dinner they watched 17 again. He wishes she didn't live so far away so he could see her everyday!

The Ram's Future

Garrett's team played North Sevier today and won 30 to 0. Out of all the game's today the 7th grade team were the only winners!!

Dane's Weekend

Karly invited Dane to Juab for a date to the derby. He left on Sat. around 3 and headed to Juab. He met Karly and her family at her house then went and got some dinner. Off to the derby to meet her friends. Dane said it was the best derby ever! ( I am sure that's because he was with Karly) lol After that there was a street dance they went to for a while. Because it is such a long drive, Karly and her family asked Dane to stay over. So we didn't see him until Sunday. They are such a cute couple!
