Late Night Ramblings

I havent been feeling right lately. I am not sure why? I cant even really explain it. I have a million different emotions going on all at once and I am not sure which are real and which are superficial. My aunt passed away over the weekend and it was unexpected. I know I am upset about that. I wasnt real close to her and I think that is part of the reson I am so upset. I wish that I would have seen her more often. I wish that I would have known her better. I can sit here and wish all I want but it is not going to bring her back. I have never really been faced with death before other than my grandpa and I wasnt real close to him either. When Cory passed away back in April it hit me pretty hard. You always hear people say it, but it is so true, you can not take one moment for granted. I used to be really outgoing and I am not sure what happened but somewhere along the way I became very antisocial. I want to try to change that in some ways. I want to TRY to keep in contact with more family members and hopefully TRY to get together with my extended family more often. We all used to be so close and I know people grow up and start families of their own (I did) and life gets crazy busy. But when all is said and done all you will have at the end is family. I told Jared that we also need to make more of an effort to see his family more often, especially his mom. Like I said things are hectic but we really are going to TRY! After rambling about all that I still dont know exactly what it is that I am feeling but I wish it would stop. I dont like it. It is not a good feeling.

Well I love you all! Good night!

Help Me Out!!

I love to make and send cards and things and I am trying to update my address book.
I would really love to have addresses for all of the family and friends that I talk to online. So if you are reading this please email me and send me your address.

My email is lilmonkey81@comcast.net

This would really help me out and then I can send you cards and such for the holidays. Everyone likes to get something other than bills or junk mail!

Been a while

I know it has been a while since I have blogged. We have been pretty busy around here. Grant started school and is loving it. I, on the other hand, am not. But I am glad that he enjoys it. We went to the fair. That was a lot of fun. We are going to buy me a new car so we have been searching for one that will satisfy Jared's very high standards. I think work has been rough for Jar lately but we are all looking forward to our cruise at the beginning of the year! I am excited because I am going to start watching a new baby girl in a few weeks. She was just born a couple days ago and her mom sent me pictures. She is so cute with tons of black hair. So that should be fun. That's all for now. Hopefully I will update again soon!

Football season ALREADY???

Well football season is upon us again. And, to say the least, during football season football consumes my husbands entire life. So here is the team breakdown around here.
Si nce I can remember I have always been a fan of the Utes and it will always stay that way. I will never switch to the dark side, that being the school down South, BYU.
My husband on the other hand is one of the biggest BYU fans you will ever meet. YUCK!!! Not sure where I went wrong? 'nuff said!


He is also a huge Redskins fan. I dont really have a fave NFL team. But if I had to pick it would probably be the Rams, only because that is my Daddy's team.

And last but definitely not least Jordan High school Beetdiggers!We love them and fully support them, well little league mostly. Jared and I both went to Jordan and are true Bettdiggers. We absolutely loved going to games on Friday nights when BJ played. Now we love to support BJ as a coach of the little league Juniors. He coachs the kids that are freshman and will be playing on the high school team next year and he loves it. Also Jared's cousin's son Talon plays little league for Jordan too, and we love to support him as well.
So football seaon is very busy around here and gets quite crazy with the rivalry sometimes! It is fun though!

Healthy new treat!

Tonight when we went to the grocery store we were in the produce section and Grant asked if he could have a green pepper. I absolutely hate peppers whether they are red, green, yellow, or orange so I am sure that Grant has not had many peppers in his 4 short years, simply for the fact that we dont really ever have them in the house. Grant is usually always willing to try new things at least once, which I am very grateful for. So I thought why not let him get one and see if he likes it. It was cheap so I didnt really care if I had to throw away the whole thing if he didnt like it. When we got home I cut it up for him and he loved it! Of course he couldnt eat the whole thing so I split it up into 4 little ziplock baggies with a few pieces in each bag and then put them in the fridge. They are a great little snack that he can just go get out of the fridge and eat when ever he wants. I love finding new healthy things for Grant to eat, that he likes!!!

Good Recipes!

I am sick of the same old things over and over. My little family has our faves and that is mostly what I make every week. BORING!!! So I am wondering if any of you have some good, quick and easy recipes you could share with me? What are your family's faves? Help a girl out here!

Friday night and Saturday at Lagoon!

Friday night we took Grant to the Bee's game. It was fun. This is the latest DASANI campaign.

My little stud waiting in line for a ride!
On the skyride. It was one of Grant's faves!
We had fun but we want to go back with Daddy!

Mommy and Grant fun day

Jared is going out of town for the weekend and Grant and I are excited to spend some alone time together! This morning we went to watch Uncle Brock's football team play the first game of the season and now we are off to LAGOON!!! Wish us luck!

FUN pictures to come!
