I Am Not A Crook!!!

Let me tell you my story about this helmet that almost caused me some jail time. So it all began at Smiths Market Place in Bountiful. I never go there, but today I had to drive down their to get London her shots so I figured I would stop in and look around for some Christmas gifs. Right from the beginning I saw this Star Wars helmet which I just recently purchased at Sams club for like $7.oo more. I decided to save a little money (I know, I'm a tight wad) and buy this one, and return the other to Sams club. Well I only had Londons stroller, so I put it in the little bottom cubby. (with full intentions of paying for it) I did the rest of my shopping and didnt find anything I wanted, and walked right out of the store. I got to my car, got London buckled, and bent down to get my diaper bag out and BOOM!!! saw the helmet. "OH S_ _ t!!!" I said out loud.. looking up to discover a woman from the store walking right toward me. I quick grabed it out and said "oh my Gosh mam I toatally forgot this was in here, I just barly realized." (Don't forget London was all buckled, I was wearing a Hoodie with no makeup on so I toatally looked like a freaken shoplifter.(Sorry that sounds really judgemental, but you all know what I mean.) I just kept on apologizing and telling her how embarrased I was, and THANK HEAVENS!!! she believed me and let me come back in and pay for it. I'm shaking just thinking about it. Can you imagine if she wasn't so forgiving. I just don't know what I would have done. Greg won't let me go shopping by myself anymore. He's say's I'm too forgetful. And he's right:)

I love it...


*Just for this morning, I am going to step over the
laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.

*Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the
sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours
together.

*Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep
the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow
bubbles.
*Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny
grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck and I
will buy you one if he comes by.

*Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you
are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every
decision I have made where you are concerned.

*Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake
cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.
*Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald 's and buy
us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.

*Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell
you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.

*Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub
and not get angry.

*Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we
sit on the porch and count all the stars.

*Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for
hours, and miss my favorite TV shows

*Just for this evening when I run my finger through your
hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given
me the greatest gift ever given.

*I will think about the mothers And fathers who are
searching for their missing children, the mothers and
fathers who ar e visiting their children's graves instead
of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital
rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside
that they can't handle it anymore.

*And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little
tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for
you, and ask Him for nothing, except one more day............

I got this in an email and thought every mother should read...

Welcome Home Daddy!!!


We made it!!! We welcomed Greg home Sunday morning. It was soooo exciting and extremley emotional... We got up early Sunday morning to greet him buy 7:30am, unfortanatly The Military can be very retarted, and his plane did not actually land until 9:00am so with three very anxious kids waiting in a very crowded room it was almost taking all the excitment away. As soon as We saw him it all rushed right back into us. It was indiscribable how happy we all felt. Me and Greg both agree that everything seems so normal for us being together, it sometimes feels like him being gone was really all just a dream. And yes it's most defenatly like the Honeymoon stage all over again!!! London absolutley adores her daddy. Shy knew exactly who he was and loves playing with him. Hayden and Shy love having someone to wrestle with again, and do all the fun things daddy's do. Emma (our dog) peed a little when she first saw him, then wagged her tail remembering also. Were all so happy he's home, and wanted to say thanks for all your support and loving comments.

10 day count down

So it's finally here!!! yup! Were down to the 10 day count down. Some day's it has felt like an Eternity..... Others not as bad. I don't know how some women and men do this for any longer. But I geuss once you sign that enlistment paper you pretty much belong to the Military. They tell you to jump... You say How high... This prob sounds like i'm anti AirForce, but I'm not, imangine what our country would be like if we didn't have these amazing soldiers. I am so greatful for Greg. I know this has been hard on him having to leave his babies. Once we get him back settled in, were off to Disneyland!!!! And this will all have seemed like a really long dream.

Our Little Angel

Where does the time go.... I can not believe that my little baby is already almost 14 months old. I really don't want her to grow up... scince Greg left she has changed completley!! He is going to start crying when he see's he no longer has the little baby girl he left 5 months ago. She started crawling about a week after he left, and from that she has developed into the funnest little girl! She still is not walking, and I actually hope she saves that important step for her daddy. I'm getting so excited for her to have him back.

First Grade


Well Hayden and Shy made it through their first week of first grade! They are both enjoying it very much, they think eating school lunch is the best thing in the whole world... I keep asking them if I can make them a home lunch, but they have refused. Finally I convinced them to let me make one. (penute butter and jelly, carrot sticks with ranch, string cheese, caprisun, and some gummie bears! Sounds great right? Well Shy could not get her ranch open, so she just decided to throw the Carrot sticks away. "Good Excuse". Hayden didn't even find his gummie bears till after school. It took me like a half hour to make their lunches perfect for them. I think we will just stick to school lunch. They have seperate teachers this year, which I think is going great! They seem to be playing better at home, like they've missed eachother's company or something. London and I started a new job working at the gym daycare. It's perfect to get us out of the house for a bit and for London to be around other small children. plus now I don't feel as bad if I spend a little money. Greg is scheduled to come home early October so thats really all I can think of now. I am soooooo ready to have my man back
