Thankful Thursday

I am having a rough time with this for some reason. I guess maybe cause I am feeling sorry for myself and I am not sure why. I have a lot to be thankful for and well I guess I just need a good kick in the butt. I guess I am going to have to start with my kids. They make me laugh a lot and I love laughter nothing makes me feel better. They drive me crazy on occasion but usually we are having fun. I am trying to draw this line between being the cool mom and the mom that leads her kids in the right direction. Ashlee keeps telling me I am the coolest mom ever until she gets mad then I totally suck. But I am so glad I have them I am not to sure what else there would be to live for like my babies. I have some funny pictures I will post at the end. Ashlee got a camera for her birthday and she has not let Makayla even touch it. But earlier today Ashlee let her guard down and well can I say it was so funny when I downloaded the pics. You will see what I mean it is hilarious. I also would have to say I am thankful for cool friends who keep me in check. I have some of the best friends a girl could have. I know kind of weird but you know those days when you totally need a shoulder or someone to tell how it is well I have that and there isn't anything that could replace cool friends. This is going to seem really stupid to most people but I am so thankful for the opportunity to learn how to grow new things. Ya I planted flowers at work and they are actually growing. I have also had the chance to learn about the other things that were planted the ones I like the most are the pumpkins they are taking off and it is so cool to watch them grow I cant wait to see if they produce or not but even if they don't I have learned new things and it is way cool to see how much they grow when I haven't been there for a couple of days. I know I am crazy but it is so fun. And for the coolest guy friend a girl could have he is so understanding when I gotta run and he is just really sweet. And I am so excited to do this paramedic stuff it is going to be so cool it is going to be time consuming and well it might change a few things in life but I am excited and thankful for the opportunity to do . K well that is it for now I know not much but that's what ya get for today. Enjoy the pics.

I know she is a huge dork but I laughed my butt off when I downloaded them and when Ashlee seen them the look on her face was so funny.

Ashlee's 7th Birthday

So today Ashlee turned 7. We had a pretty fun party except the rain decided to come, but she still had a blast and got all kinds of cool stuff. They had fun shopping with Grandpa Bill for her birthday. Almost like Makayla had a birthday to but what the hell if he wants to spoil them I will let him. They went to the Zoo and spent the week with Bill and did all kinds of fun things. They told me they got to go to Chucky Cheese twice. Sounds like a good birthday to me. And yep she got her horsey cake again Thanks Cathy. But anyways I only have a couple of pics cause I lost my good camera so the camera phone came in pretty handy even though the pictures arent as good as I want they will have to do.

Thankful Thursday

So this is going to be short and sweet I wasn't going to do it but decided maybe I should. So I am thankful for the most awesome kids a women could have. They are so much fun and I have missed them so much while they have been gone. I talked to them today and they are having a blast. It kind of makes me jealous that they have that much fun without me but it also makes me thankful that they have a positive male roll model to have fun with almost as good as a dad I guess or maybe even better. I am thankful that I passed English wow that was a feet but I got past it . Thanks Marty! I probably wouldn't have made it through without ya. I am also very thankful for the opportunity to go through the paramedic program although there may be some consequences for gaining knowledge it is going to be awesome. Friends always thankful for the most awesome friends anyone can have.


Thought this was cute so I decided to share it.

Missing kids

Since I don't have anything better to do right now I thought I would write a blog about how I feel, I know not my typical blog but I figured I would give it a try. I seen a thing that said if its on my mind its on my blog. So I am hoping this will make me feel a little better. My kids have been gone for 2 days, I really thought I would enjoy my break but I really miss them. Its not the same at home without them. They are planning to stay the rest of the week with grandpa Bill. Although I think it is great and he is an amazing guy I am not sure it was a good idea at least for me. Maybe it is because I am used to having them all the time and it just isn't life without them torturing the shit out of me. But i guess I can look forward to all their little stories they have to tell and Ashlee's birthday on Saturday. And holly cow she is going to be 7 it doesn't seem like that long ago. Sorry for the boring blog but it will have to do for now.

Thankful Thursday

So I think this week of thankful things is going to be hard since I haven't had the best attitude ever, but I am going to give it a shot and hope it makes me feel better.

1- All of the new things I have been learning and the new things I am about to learn. I have been learning all about gardening at the station and it is so cool. I always "helped" Grandpa in his garden when I was quite young but I don't remember to much about it cause he got sick and couldn't do it anymore before I was old enough to remember. So thanks for teaching me a few things! maybe next year I can do my own I hope. I have also gained some knowledge from the IA course although there is alot I wish I would have learned I am Thankful for what I did learn. And for the Paramedic program that is coming very rapidly I am so scared but excited at the same time to gain more knowledge about what I do.

2-For awesome friends who are there to listen when I need to talk. Good friends are hard to find but when you find a good one that is there for you, accepts and loves you for who and what you are and expects nothing in return it is the coolest thing.

3- My babies who drive me crazy everyday. Well not everyday but close. I have had alot of fun with them this last little while with all the new learning experiences and watching them grow so fast and gain their personalities. Not that I am thankful they are getting big but for the fact that they are healthy.

4-I am actually not sure why this comes to mind every time I do this but I am so thanful for my job. I have never had a job that I loved so much. I am thanful for all the experiences and learning that comes from it to. And for the people that I work with for the most part anyways.

Sorry kind of lame but this is what I got. But here are some cute pics of what I am thanful for he is so dam cute!

Makayla's New Haircut

So today Makayla had her hair all cut off, although I was really worried about it, it looks so damn cute. Yes, I didn't like the idea in fact I almost cried. But I figured she is a big girl and if she wanted it short then oh well.

Enjoying the Sunshine

So today I took Makayla's training wheels off and was going to teach her how to ride without them. Well she just took off she didnt need any teaching

WAHOO I PASSED!!!!!

So I thought I would let everyone know I passed my test. It feels so good to get that behind me. I am so excited cause I never thought that I could do it. It was alot of work but it paid off. Now I have a little more confidence for the paramedic program that is just around the corner. And thanks so much to the coolest friend ever who helped me through it and prepared me for the test and "the field".

Baby Jesse's Blessing

The Baby got blessed today he looked so cute in his little suit and tie until he chewed on his tie so much that it almost came off of his shirt. And his dad pulled his head out of his butt and actually decided to come. His uncle gave him a beautiful blessing hopefully it will do some good and he will have some spirituality in his life, not that I have any room to judge just want my little guy to know his Heavenly Father and his plan. He deserves to have those things in his life and at least have an idea of what they are.

Cute Faces

He gets really excited when Makayla Plays with him and his rattle.

Just another Day

Well today Ashlee lost another tooth not like she has many to lose but luckily this one was on the bottom. She was pretty excited she actually pulled it herself. Yep the crazy kid who isn't afraid of much. We got to watch the baby today or well I guess I should say mom got to watch the baby but I did get to hold him for longer then a minute with out him being taken from me.We had a blast he is such my little buddy he knows he can have whatever he wants when he is with me and it is going to be that way forever. But here are some pictures of Ashlee with no tooth and of the baby.
