I didn't realize how far behind I was! Right now Blake is still not really talking. We have a hearing test ordered for him and he starts speech therapy this month. I am excited to have this kid talk and tell me what in the world he wants!! It has been very hard on both of us but we are getting better at communicating! I have been obsessed with pinterest and doing projects from there and just being home! I have had two job offers that I had to turn down because of daycare issues and it really makes me sad but my children come first, right? I am just so anxious to get out in the field and learn more and work!! Dan and I as always are starting a new business adventure but this time it is solid. As it comes closer for everything to unfold I will tell but for now my lips are sealed! I can just say that I am unbelievably excited!!!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408856217108667769.post-71388220036169562102011-12-02T09:26:00.000-08:002011-12-02T09:35:43.924-08:00Utah<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTK1AH4cKObxX-Nig98xkCdoL5CMSyuv9qX9bU_T3kTvcTKBfLS7QVpcVOBBBGnd3w0biu4YiyUoyI3OeIqlxXI2qtPJ3qkzcwnGRi6oAJNSk-_y3TJtzNqHCTCJvb3M_wNteoxWTOQvDT/s1600/IMG00137-20111125-1224.jpg"><img style="float:left;

It was the trip I needed. The kids played and we barely saw them or even heard from them and us girl laughed and laughed the whole time. Best therapy a girl could ever ask for! Dan did get the pukes a night we were there but was better the next day so we weren't sure what is was, but with all the kids in the house to say the least we were all a bit terrified of the flu!

My grandparents were in town so we headed over to my dad's house and had their birthdays together. I again forgot my camera so I took a few pictures with my cell phone and they turned out kind of crummy but they are pictures! They had fun! I made homemade pizzas and a strawberry cake that Shane requested.

I was super nervous about him being such a new 5 year old and going to all day Kindergarten but he has not only done amazing he has really flourished! He has an amazing teacher. I really dislike Shane's teacher and they ended up taking a third grade teacher and moving her to second grade and I volunteered him to go to the new teacher and he is doing a lot better with her. It is so nice but also so weird having the boys gone all day long. I miss them but really love having so much one on one with Blake who really needs it right now!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408856217108667769.post-18999037488058238372011-12-02T08:10:00.000-08:002011-12-02T08:17:27.481-08:00Two Teeth DOWN!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdVghdgOVEnGnqR1INfH0JCIIRusroDOeVcTAOG2eHVV832eW72VCPI9b-v0eEXb_bPdLMOGiSC0SNZqqDxjW89_WX16oJts1oEvllxy-78g71cz0-NfgYdQY_vBo62ogrftcFAIRhAP7H/s1600/DSC03180.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdVghdgOVEnGnqR1INfH0JCIIRusroDOeVcTAOG2eHVV832eW72VCPI9b-v0eEXb_bPdLMOGiSC0SNZqqDxjW89_WX16oJts1oEvllxy-78g71cz0-NfgYdQY_vBo62ogrftcFAIRhAP7H/s400/DSC03180.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681565504117389234" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf5VDaII5HEx1RzsM1gmOZlqOanWZmp7yOY_DXX2jb-npZWf7683ul42LV0FHWl3c-oDPgqJW0cwALKX8z8ni6kFOOoGNYII-tfrqjGc-dVq6E83Y9cIfBQEb-drRReMNphL-muoBlveq-/s1600/DSC03179.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf5VDaII5HEx1RzsM1gmOZlqOanWZmp7yOY_DXX2jb-npZWf7683ul42LV0FHWl3c-oDPgqJW0cwALKX8z8ni6kFOOoGNYII-tfrqjGc-dVq6E83Y9cIfBQEb-drRReMNphL-muoBlveq-/s400/DSC03179.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681565499349146482" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSArxGtyz4eA5J2LrmUe_0VJh9xwCx_hTm7DZ6MXr2rdToCOffU73dZnh-tAhvND99J9u6r3I6pu2DpH608zJQcHu3Wf5NqfWUhZWw1Vu3ryWAckzqpso4XyEbn_Jf50t-Ate_ZmwayhF7/s1600/DSC03181.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSArxGtyz4eA5J2LrmUe_0VJh9xwCx_hTm7DZ6MXr2rdToCOffU73dZnh-tAhvND99J9u6r3I6pu2DpH608zJQcHu3Wf5NqfWUhZWw1Vu3ryWAckzqpso4XyEbn_Jf50t-Ate_ZmwayhF7/s400/DSC03181.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681565523333984754" border="0" /></a><br />Shane has officially lost two teeth, This has been a huge deal for him as it really terrifies him!! Getting the teeth out has been tears and lots of drama with this boy. His teeth aren't wanting to just fall out though they are turning black and holding on for dear life so they have to be pulled out! Poor kid :( He is trying to be brave though and Brock keeps coming in having us check all of his teeth to see if any of his are loose. On his second tooth the Toothfairy dropped the ball, she felt like the worst Toothfairy in the whole world!!! She made it up to him though.

He really wanted to have a Beyblade battle, so I made a cheesy arena out of our living room to battle in. Dan decided to start a tradition that I LOVE, he takes thee birthday boy out to a movie the day of so I can get ready for the party and than they get time to just be with dad. The boys just ate it up this year and absolutely loved it. I look back and just cannot believe how much time has passed. My Brock is my boy, his personality is a lot like mine and as funny as that is I feel like I have a hard time understanding him. It is hard to look at yourself and say how would I have wanted my mother to handle this situation? He has his dads intelligence and talents though. This boy is so quick, he can look at things and just know what it needs to be fixed. Shane comes to him to have him fix things, it is so crazy. He is a very sweet soul and very very independent. He HAS to do things on his own. It is hard for me to not treat him older than what he is because of this. I am slowly accepting him for this and learning how to back off and when to step in. We have weaned him off of his thumb sucking and traded it for chewing in his clothing. He quit for quite a while but has recently taken it up again which tells me there is something in his little life that is bothering him. I am putting extra efforts into him and paying more attention. He is easy to overlook because he is so independent and quiet. But the boy can talk, a lot!!! Everyone instantly falls in love with him, he is the one that stands out the most because of his creativity and he just doesn't care or notice what other people are thinking. He is very much in his own little bubble and it is adorable.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408856217108667769.post-10706487050239909892011-12-02T07:04:00.000-08:002011-12-02T07:09:51.595-08:00He is really just too cute!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBcMobQv6khO8xCo_PP6LIcQIzADPy4UbSQJOehzRcdbE8mirsoLuzDnjyOacpRYwlqsfCb332nf90NEiBoeuPoOiTJBFO-mnjoVX-cdk16PBzz4zIket8BWJWbN7Uegww1OE2s2pXJwWf/s1600/DSC03090.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBcMobQv6khO8xCo_PP6LIcQIzADPy4UbSQJOehzRcdbE8mirsoLuzDnjyOacpRYwlqsfCb332nf90NEiBoeuPoOiTJBFO-mnjoVX-cdk16PBzz4zIket8BWJWbN7Uegww1OE2s2pXJwWf/s400/DSC03090.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681548007343575874" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsoRsJhtAWcajwxRh2nZ9rGkyWGfQbMz78uVr7o9PlA-VkZ6KLjsYx_Ec0H7KXqceKdhg4HJcrsguVEBsVPpQQeUMojKzxqgI0CFDgqOo55_UkqulYZqgFkvearQ-J45PA_oVwMgB08u2V/s1600/DSC03089.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsoRsJhtAWcajwxRh2nZ9rGkyWGfQbMz78uVr7o9PlA-VkZ6KLjsYx_Ec0H7KXqceKdhg4HJcrsguVEBsVPpQQeUMojKzxqgI0CFDgqOo55_UkqulYZqgFkvearQ-J45PA_oVwMgB08u2V/s400/DSC03089.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681548005017664210" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF-3H1QiTDwDO6dHmGRj_gsTboxPDKZx0IPTTH-KOF9bidFJ_tB9DT5dLmDnWMe5XZwOYJmM4DVOMFjhmkT9xfF887hMMmgO_hSOZB8DZ93Lr8Z2AnkWI2AFcpu9Xun8BzWj8KKOk12_6h/s1600/DSC03091.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF-3H1QiTDwDO6dHmGRj_gsTboxPDKZx0IPTTH-KOF9bidFJ_tB9DT5dLmDnWMe5XZwOYJmM4DVOMFjhmkT9xfF887hMMmgO_hSOZB8DZ93Lr8Z2AnkWI2AFcpu9Xun8BzWj8KKOk12_6h/s400/DSC03091.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681548012419379330" border="0" /></a><br />Brock wanted to go out swimming in our little pool outside.

Get ready for a bunch of new posts today!! I will start with Easter. Dan was out of town over Easter so the Easter Bunny made an early visit to our house. We did not get any pictures of this day because for the life of me I couldn't find the camera. Oh well, life goes on right? The actual day of we went over to my dad's house and the Easter Bunny made a round at his house too!!! The boys were very excited! Hillary got a two chickens, Snoop Dog and Mia, Shane did not want to hold them but there are a few pics of Brock holding them!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408856217108667769.post-31169608465545211502011-07-24T09:20:00.000-07:002011-07-24T10:14:30.773-07:00Transitions and changesI have been in a reflective mood lately. I am really having to start dealing with all the emotions of the last3 and a half years. I am writing this post mainly for me, no one else but for me. I had a client the other day that pointed something out to me that really struck me. I told her how close I was to my in-laws, especially my MIL and she looked me in the eye and said, "you know that that is a gift don't you?"I wasn't about to get all teary eyed about it in front of her but I have thought about it constantly. They both gave me a gift that not only helped replace a hole inside me but also gave me a confidence that I don't even know how to explain but most of all gave me a path, a path of how a family is supposed to be, how you raise children in a way that isn't mean or degrading. My in-laws weren't perfect but to me they were everything. I miss them both so much, especially Liz. I needed a mother, I needed a mother who would just love me unconditionally and that woman had an amazing talent for just loving anybody that way, but her lover for me made me whole again. I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Dan was the man I was supposed to marry and I know that not only did I get an amazing husband out of it but I also got his family. I definitely made out better in that deal hehehe. Ever since she passed away things have been turned upside down, inside out and everything is backwards. We have had one disappointment after another, our faith and marriage shaken. After everything I feel older, exhausted and broken. I am trying to figure out where to even start putting the pieces back together and I don't even know where to start. I had a friend on facebook whose husband had lost his job and found one after a few months and where I did not want her to suffer and I was happy her husband got that job, I was angry, very very angry. Dan went to so many interviews and had so many opportunities presented to him and nothing became of it. I had people say things to me like, "well maybe you haven't learned your lesson yet" like we had done something so horrible to deserve what we went through. That we just weren't good enough or sinned too much. So these people are the ones who get the blessing and we are left to flounder. One of the hardest things for me to swallow was how strongly I felt that we were making the right choices, we prayed, we fasted, we did all those things that we were told to do. I know that the Lord knows my struggles, We have talked about this subject twice in Sunday school lately and I have been given a book that is really helping me understand. The bottom line is that I am angry over it all. I am trying to deal with those feeling and just get them out because I do see the blessing and the tender mercies that the Lord gave to us, but I am still angry. Than we finally got a job, but here's the catch, it is in Arizona. I don't know how to explain this history to all who don't know but to keep it super fast, my mother lives in Arizona. I was thrown into a depression that I have never felt before. The thought of moving brought me to tears every time I thought about it. I went to my bishop to renew my temple recommend right before we moved and meeting with him was a huge blessing. He talked me threw my emotions and told me some personal stories that made me stronger and helped set my path. I will never forget his or the Stake President, they both said exactly what I needed to hear. So despite my last minute packing and final drive, we were in Arizona. Once we were here I set everything up in the house and developed a true hate for Arizona. Dan was really liking his job but I am miserable. So now I am angry over the fact that we had so many interviews and opportunities in great places, he gives us a job and sends us HERE????? My main theme her is anger if you can't tell. So much has happened since we have gotten here and I am really debating over how much I should write. During all of this my mother and step father and going through a very icky divorce. I am out here only a month when I get deemed the mediator for them to split up their items. This was a horrendous experience that I would soon rather forget but will always be a distinct memory for me. I have always feared my mother and I conquered that fear during those few days. It was really horrible, I did not come out on the other side feeling victorious but more like wanting to hide. It is still something I really do not want to talk about, it makes me want to vomit. So after this experience I set to making a life changing decision. I concluded that decision when my mother decided to get remarried soon after the divorce. I did not go to the wedding and have decided that there is no place for my mother in my life any longer. It was an extremely hard decision and one that I have to continually make. I went through a period of mourning but am mostly at peace now with my decision. During all of this we started the Foster Care process, had a teenage girl move in with us that just lost her mother to cancer and I have gone back to school. It has been such a rough road, one that I am so excited to have it just calm down for a bit. I am beaten down and just don't know how much more I can take. I am getting used to Arizona even though I really dislike it still. I think for my sanity living in the Mesa/Gilbert area will be better, it will feel a bit more like home and we will be around people that are more like we are. You don't know what you've got until it's gone, and now I can say that I miss Utah, but we are better off here, we are going to church more and our attitudes are better, I know that. The stress of finishing school, the drama between everyone, I think it is all giving me ulcers. I am so close to finishing and I will be so much better off when I do. I cannot wait! At least I know that school is a temporary trial!! Through all of this I can say that I have come out adoring and loving my husband so much more. I know that he is my soul mate and that I couldn't live without him. He is my rock and safety zone. When I am feeling out of control even just hearing his voice will calm me down. I am so lucky to have him. He is truly my foundation. I am already feeling a bit better just writing this all out, admitting to my feeling and letting them be ok for just a bit. I am getting stronger everyday and bettering myself everyday. I know I have a long way to go but I have the Lord behind me, he will help me understand and be stronger.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408856217108667769.post-89234349597787280922011-06-27T08:39:00.001-07:002011-06-27T09:31:32.615-07:00VACATIONI have a whole entire week off from school, I almost don't know what to do with myself. I have so much to do that it is ridiculous, but I really just want to hang out with my boys, I hate being away from them so much. I only have 45 days left of actual school days, I could not be more thrilled! I am so excited to have my license, I cannot wait to start working. I really love love love doing hair. It almost surprises me, I never pegged me as that girl, but I truly love it. I am getting clients that are starting to request me at school and building up a bit of a clientele, it is fun. I start Senior Thoery the second week in July which I am super nervous for, we take chapter tests daily, have 8 practicals we have to pass twice and five finals that are 100 questions each that we have to pass with an 84% or higher. There is a large number of student who end up just dropping out because they can't pass all them tests, aaahhhh.... I think I can, I think I can LOL. September 6th SHOULD be my graduation date. We are pretty much done with all the Foster Care stuff, Dan has one more class to make up and he has to finish his interview than we are done and just waiting on getting our license for that. I am starting to get excited about what we are going to get. I am having to start thinking about getting clothes and blankets, bedding and toys for a little girl. It makes me so giddy when I really start thinking about it. <br /><br />Dan is still really liking his job. We feel very blessed to have it. They are paying us well and we are being able to keep up with all of our expenses and paying a nanny. We just got preapproved for a home loan and are very casually starting to look around at houses. We are still so new to Arizona that it is a little bit more daunting because we have no idea WHERE we want to live! The Gilbert/Mesa area have home that are a little bit more Utah style and make Dan and I feel a bit more at home so those areas are in the lead right now but nothing is decided yet. We are probably not going to even be really serious until next June when the boys are out of school. We have moved them so much that we really think it is important to let them finish out their school year in one place. <br /><br />Shane is doing so so very well. He let me know the other day that he is all grown up now. He wants me to leave him home to babysit his brothers. I kind of chuckle because at his wise age of 7 he is hardly ready to babysit but he is super insistent that he can do it. He is going to be the greatest when he gets bigger, he is already such a help, I could not have done so much that I have done with out him. He is such a fantastic kid. Dan and I went out on a date night a few weeks ago, I went into his room to kiss him goodnight and he asked me all about our night, what we ate and all that. I left in tears, he is just getting so big! His grades at the end of first grade were fantastic, they don't think he is going to need speech therapy very much longer. He is making friends so easily and is just so happy most of the time. He is such a joy to me! We have struggled with him for such a long time and he is just turning into this amazing kid!!!<br /><br />Brock is still my little artist, very imaginative but a stinker to LOL. He captures everyone's hearts no matter where we go. He is so full of personality. He is struggling with me being gone and is taking it out in a various array of different ways. He is getting super sassy with me and is pretty much just going to do what he wants to do and that is really the end of it. There are hardly any punishments that even mean anything to him anymore. He isn't horrible right now but I am so super nervous for our future. He is quite the independent soul. I love him for it though. He creates so many things all on his own. He made a Mega Mind cape out of computer paper and tape, he made an outfit (headband and all) out of things around the house to be a character named Janga off the Beyblade shows. He does it all on his own too, he doesn't ask for any help he just does it. We go through insane amounts of tape at our house. He is learning how to enjoy his little brother. It has been a rough road for him to share and be kind to him. His birthday is on Friday and I am just so sad that my little buddy is going to be 5 and starting Kindergarten this year. He is always very close to me, such a loving sweet boy.<br /><br />Blake is a cute little button. His blond curly hair just makes my day. He is not talking almost at all, the Dr referred us to a speech therapist but I think I am going to hold off for a few more months, we are really working on it. The only thing he says that is understandable to anyone other than us is dada. I am not too nervous about it. He is a smart kid and knows exactly what is going on, what he wants and does not want and really gets his point across very well. I want to give him a few more months before I start forking out all the money for it (it is very expensive) I want to see how much progress I can make with him on my own. It is hard when I am in school though :( He is a big mama's boy and I secretly adore it. I know he is going to be my last baby and I am just soaking him in. He is a very loving boy. His favorite things are his blankie and Blues Clues. The kid hardly talks but he can do all the different dances to the different songs on that show. It is pretty crazy! He has been a pretty good boy as long as you don't want him to sit still or be quiet. He is still horrendous in church but we get to take him to nursery, which he loves so as long as I can make it through sacrament with him than we are good. There are some Sundays that I just can't handle him and we leave early. He really is a lot of work, I am physically and emotionally drained by the time we are done! <br /><br />I have been so horrible about blogging, I am just so busy and exhausted. It will end soon!!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408856217108667769.post-30075019651913850712011-05-02T10:19:00.000-07:002011-05-02T10:29:01.788-07:00quickyLife is too busy right and and I feel like I can barely take two seconds to breathe. The upside, I am kicking some serious beauty school (pardon my language here) A**. I have grown and developed my skills since I last left school and I am feeling great about it. I have 4 months left and cannot wait to be done. I hate leaving my kids, I get to see them for about 2-3 hours a night. I just don't really feel like a real mom. The upside is that my nanny Celeste is amazing and I just could not have asked for a better girl to come into my home and take care of my kids. I feel 100% confident that my kids are happy and getting everything that they need. She is just great! The change has been hard on everyone though. We are just starting to adjust. Brock is reverting back to thumb sucking :( We are starting to kind of adjust to Arizona. The weather is fantastic. Always warm and sunny. Dan is kicking butt at his job. He loves it they treat him great and he is making pretty decent money. He is really happy.

Sorry! I just wanted to write down my gratitude. The last 3 years we have lost everything and been stripped down to bare bones. The only possessions we had left to our names were used furniture. I truly felt that the Lord had betrayed me. I felt he left and was no where to be found. He let me fall face first with nothing there to catch me. Through this trail I did not smile and say I know the Lord loves me and this will all end eventually, I pretty much gave him the bird and said screw you. Now don't get me wrong here, I didn't go out and get tattoo's or start drinking or anything but my heart had a very dark cloud over it. We moved to Texas where I finally started to feel like maybe he was there and was listening to me. We loved it there, we loved our ward and actually wanted to go to church, I was really starting to make some friends and felt like I was where I belonged. My nephew got married and Dan and I decided to go talk to our bishop and tell him about our little "I hate you" adventure and the greatest blessing of all hit our lives. Our bishop and the Stake President changed my life forever. It is private but I knew without a shadow of a doubt that the Lord was speaking through these men to change my life. Than Dan got a job in Arizona. I pictured in my head for two years how I would feel when Dan finally got a job, I imagined celebrating and crying with joy. I was devastated. If many of you know me you know a bit about my family and especially my mother. My mother lives in Arizona and I have felt that that distance was protecting me from her. I had a safe zone so to speak and only had to really deal with her on a few occasions. I was really thrown into a depression. We moved here and we both hated it. The people are very different here, cold and distant. The rules are different, I won't go into that but I have been quite embarrassed. The up side that I tried to focus on was that Dan had the best paying job we have ever had and he was happy. I could fill in the rest by myself, right?!?! I was talking to my sil Mara who is truly just the best and she had said to me that she couldn't wait until I talk to her and said I was doing good and not just ok. It sounds really silly but that struck me to think about how I was projecting on to other people. So I decided to change me. There were some events that have helped this along and I have for now kind of severed ties with my mom and am trying to decide if she is going to be allowed to be a part of my life. I have thrown myself into running everyday, studying my scriptures every morning and saying true and sincere prayers. I have also really tried to get into some home projects (I painted my kitchen table black and it looks amazing!!!) Now we are at the whole point of my blog post today, in the last three weeks I have seen the hand of the Lord everywhere I look. It started with my drive home from Utah (yes I visited but I didn't go see anyone except family so don't be mad) I was driving through Cedar City in some of the worst snow I have ever seen, two cars were flipped over in the median, it was bad. I was starting to get a bit stressed out and I kid you not within a 5 minute period (I was driving by myself) and all three of my kids fell asleep. Ok if you have kids you know this NEVER happens! I got through it unscathed, it took about 1 hour and 20 mins to get through it all and than once it all started to clear up be be safe again on the roads they all woke up about the same time. I was amazed and truly felt the hand of the Lord. The next thing; I put an ad out to find someone who wanted to trade babysitting for free rent and stuff. I got a huge response of people who wanted to be paid but I just couldn't afford it so it wasn't an option. About a week after we got back a girl named Celeste replied and she is so wonderful and going to move in next weekend. Now I can finish the few months I have left of cosmetology school and know that my babies are going to be okay. So this young girl ties into another blessing. We are really looking into Foster parenting for our next 1-2 kids. We want a child under 2 or 3 and preferably a girl ;) Well Celeste's mom wanted to meet us both so on Saturday they came over and it turns out she used to be a case worker and is a foster parent herself. We spent almost the whole time talking about is and she gave us so much information. It was truly invaluable because if nothing else it just confirmed to both of us without a doubt this is the road we are meant to take. The last thing as of today...we have not like our ward in the least bit, it is a huge struggle every week to actually make the decision to go. We went yesterday and for one Blake was actually manageable during sacrament meeting and we decided to take him into nursery he is only a month out of being in there so we took him in, HE LOVED IT and was so good! Dan said when he picked him up he didn't want to leave LOL! I also for the first time since being in there had about 3 women who came up and talked to me and were so sweet. When running this morning I even ran past one of the girls and we stopped and talked for a second. I am just feeling overwhelmed with gratitude to the Lord for still loving me and giving me another shot. I am usually such a happy optimistic person but the last three years has just beaten me down. I feel like that Lord is truly next to me right now trying to help me stand back up. I am so grateful for the Lord and for my religion. I know I have come out of this a better person overall. I have learned some great lessons and at the ripe old age of 28, I feel like I have aged a bit.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408856217108667769.post-62988118352195265372011-03-16T15:45:00.000-07:002011-03-16T16:04:50.289-07:003 months and countingSo we have survived 3 months, well almost. I am starting to get a little bit more comfortable and the dark gloom cloud that has been following me is starting to lift. We have been doing so much, some is not blog appropriate but I have started a journal just for this reason. Someday my kiddos are going to need to know what is out there LOL. Shane is doing really great in 1st grade here. He is really fitting in at school which is a huge bonus. He reads everything and quizzes me constantly on math, I am just lucky it is mainly add and subtract and really simple times tables, I am soon going to be outsmarted! Brock loves his new preschool. It is where he belongs, we have full day Kindergarten next year and I am a bit nervous about it but I am sure he will be fine. I was going to hold him back a year (mainly cause he is such a little person) but he begs and begs. He is so tired of being home and he is a smart little stinker!!! Blake is Blake. He loves any and all attention. He is figuring out life so fast. He is starting to mesh in with the boys a bit more and there aren't as many fights between him and Brock. I took him into the insta-care the other night because he had another bout of croup and the Dr. told me that for him to have it so often is really abnormal and that there might be something going on in his throat so we will be checking that out. He did weird breathing things are a baby and we have done some treatment for his issues with our last Dr. but we never looked at his throat only his lungs. Two more weeks until insurance kicks in yayay!!!<br /><br />I am FINALLY going to be finishing school. We found a great girl who wants to move in and and for free rent and food ect. she will watch the kiddos for free!!! She just wanted to make sure we weren't going to make her pay, I laughed a little I will admit. We will be paying her per month also, she will be watching them full time, I think it is only fair to not take total advantage of this young and very naive girl. I should be starting on April 5th, then I will be dropping off the radar until it is DONE. I am so so excited!!! <br /><br />I am also planning the Christensen family reunion which before hand sounded like such a great fun project to cheer poor pitiful me with nothing to do, now I am a bit nervous because I have never done this before and I will be doing it on top of going to school. It will be super fun though, I am pretty excited :)<br /><br />Dan is still really loving his job, he has had a bit of an adjustment getting used to the swing of a job but he is doing really awesome. He gets commissions and he is rocking it!!! I love this job LOL. We might actually be able to buy a home some time this century! Imagine that...<br /><br />Well that is about it. I am focusing on pulling myself out of the dark hole I have been hiding out in and being happy! My kids have been such a huge help, I am so grateful to be a mom. I know they are such a sacrifice but they are twice the blessing.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408856217108667769.post-2480226042689835132011-01-27T13:59:00.000-08:002011-01-27T14:34:15.135-08:00Our first month in ArizonaSo we made it to Arizona!! We are renting a great little house that we are loving. It is so nice to not be in an apartment anymore! We feel so private now LOL. Dan has loved his job. It is a perfect match for him and we are so grateful!! He deserves to have some good experiences. Shane is my shining little star lately. He is such a trooper with all we have put him through. He always starts a new school and fits right in and just never thinks twice about it. His new teacher says that he already has a lot of friends and is doing great there, I really admire his ability to just be put in any situation and make friends! What a blessing that is for him to have. Now that we are in a more relaxed school environment he is not behind in class anymore, he is exactly where he should be. His reading levels are right up to speed and everything which I am not sure that is a relief or just a worry over how much less is required of the students, they are pretty comparable here to Utah so I figure he would have gotten the same education there too so we are good. Brock has had a lot harder time adjusting but is doing pretty good. He is okay with his new preschool but really misses his old one. He has been a bit of stinker at home, he is really struggling with sharing, especially with Blake but we are getting there. He is starting to pick up on reading and loves to write and draw. Art is this guys little thing. He loves to make tape creations and we have tape on almost every possible place. He is a bit of a needy guy right now and I usually need to take a Brock time out in the afternoon because he wears me out!!! Blake is grumpy little ray of sunshine. He is so sweet than snap he is a ornery grumpy little man. He makes my days happy and just loves being with me. He is usually a good little side kick but at 15 months he is starting to get more and more opinionated on what he wants to do and think so it will come to an end just like it has with all my other kids. It makes me a bit sad, I have enjoyed him being little so much. I am adjusting. Dans' Aunt Elaine has been such a sweet lifesaver. I have spent a bunch of time with her and loved every minute of it. She loves and dotes over my kids just like Liz would have if she were here. It makes my heart so happy to see it! She makes us dinner randomly and just wants to be a help anywhere she can. My dad is here too and I LOVE it! It is so fun to be close to him and have that connection that I missed so much. My boys adore him and love going to his house. It is so fun!!! It is hard to adjust to a new society that does things very differently but I am getting used to it and slowly adapting. I love having so much space in our house, it is such a relief. I am looking to start school again the end of March, it is only going to be part time so it will take me next to forever to be done but there isn't much of a choice for us so oh well. I cannot wait to be done and be licensed! I really LOVE doing hair. It is my new passion. I think it is one of the best decisions I have made with my life. Any who that is really all that is going on. Our lives are so busy with homework and cleaning and all that stuff that days blow past.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408856217108667769.post-90861230060802591622010-12-03T07:56:00.001-08:002010-12-03T08:08:51.450-08:00Official enough to post aboutWe have a truck booked and a house ALMOST secured and a job offer.....all in Phoenix, AZ. We both have very mixed feelings about Arizona, we have really loved Texas. The thought of moving again gives me a stomach ache but you do what you have to do. We might have set some sort of record; moved 4 times and lived in three states all in one year. Dan goes out next week to iron out all the details but he starts on Jan. 2nd. He is very relieved, we both are really. I have had so much fun with him home though. I am going to miss him a lot in just our day to day living. We have spent the last 4 months together almost constantly and there have been definite times where we were really sick of each other but for the most part we have drawn so much closer and really gotten to know each other just that much more. I am so grateful I married him and love him so much. The kids have had him home all the time for quite a while and it will be a huge adjustment for them to have him back at work. It is looking like we are sliding into home base with barely anything left to our name so it seems like the right time for us to get a job. I guess just be grateful for all we have and that we have survived two full years of unemployment. We have been very blessed, if you would have told me three years ago that this would have been our outcome I would have never believed you! We have been through so much, we have shed so many tears and had so much fear and anxiety. We have ignored birthdays (yes even the kids') because we didn't have any money, even for a cake but we held our heads high and did the best we could. I would never wish it on anybody and I don't know how much I really learned from all of this, but I feel worn. I am tired and just want a break but I don't know if that ever really happens in life. So here's to a new start and a new year!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408856217108667769.post-4818591118498148602010-12-03T07:36:00.000-08:002010-12-03T07:50:02.192-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZLqLZMzGb4RwQaJvY4DlYSzahNucIIqDlRtxLy1eMFnkCKxA1BwDFnS2fAJbFeCHCP4oLjnKCvUoUfYJkfyq3pFsPHeH8A7_iaoH6qSdbxaY9UFPa48Kc87nvNbBfGrLDDxj-Y-7y321q/s1600/DSC_0399.JPG"><img style="display: block;

We went down because my Uncle Mark passed away. We went out to dinner with the Campbell's, it was fun being all together.<br /><br />We went over to Tiff's house for Halloween and had a fun dinner than went trick-or-treating. Brock was a bit timid again this year but was willing to put himself out there to get candy. It is so warm here that people sit out on their sidewalks and greet the trick-or-treaters. My kids didn't know what to think about this at first. It was pretty funny. We went to a cute little pumpkin patch and the kiddos had a blast. Blake was a bit grumpy and I thought it was hilarious so I took a bunch of pictures of his little grumpy face!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408856217108667769.post-12291706311924750942010-12-02T19:34:00.000-08:002010-12-03T06:58:40.499-08:00BLAKE!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5sbmMyRsgmYzFqU7IRogo4tbyJRPpd49iumFqNmH0F6ihiW6StaHYgPRMRbY0xWy27YnJdTCgs_Jr46_9SZlck-iUoV3ZlZz_YkTdy05LA5BBFtJy9SJwmso8OLw8CntjCSII4JHEHbuP/s1600/DSC_0426.JPG"><img style="display: block;

Ok as of today he is like 13 months but I thought I would finally post about my little man! I want to start out with items and things he loves. First and most important is his blankie. I need to get a picture of him and the blanket because it is most treasured item, it goes everywhere with us! He loves his sippy cup and Blue's Clue's. We watch lots and lots of Blue's Clue's, it calms him down so super fast!! It will get me a good 10-15 mins which is just precious time LOL. He loves playing with his brothers and especially loves Shane. He gets so excited when Shane comes home from school. He loves to growl like a lion. You show him a picture of a lion and he will growl for you, I love it! He is a big rough houser, the rougher you play with him the more he loves it. His favorite foods are apples, graham crackers and spaghetti. His hates are being in his car seat and in general having to sit somewhere and be quiet. He learned to walk this month which for one of my babies is unheard of! I love love love when they first start walking. Just too sweet! We celebrated his birthday but he was so tired that he was shaking and didn't really want to eat the cake. I keep wanting to do a repeat but I haven't! He is growing up so fast. I love what a sweet little mama's boy he is. I think that is the good thing about having boys, they are all very attached to their mommy and I LOVE it! Here are a few pictures of my little bman!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
