Bee's game!

Okay so now that I am private I feel like I can do anything I want on my blog and if you dont like it then you dont have to come to see it! I am going to start with cute pictures of my little love bug and Sara's bug at the Bees game!

Maama

If you know my mother you know she is such an amazing person. She is so strong and so loving. She is my very bestest friend. My mom and dad gave me such an amazing childhood and that is what I am trying to do for Grant. I strive to be like my mom. I look up to her so much and she will never know just how much I truly love her.

On top of being a wonderful mother she is an amazing grandmother! I remember one day I told my mom something that I will regret for the rest of my life, I said to her, "You will never be a grandmother to my kids, because you are not grand at all" I was young and obviously so stupid, because my mom is so looked up to and cherished by my son. He knows he is loved and he loves her right back. She truly is as GRAND as they come!
Grant always talks about his Maama. He asks EVERY single day after school if he can go to her house to have a playdate. It is so cute. And he always wants to have sleepovers. It is so neat for me to see the love and bond they share between them. It's AMAZING!

We love you so much mommy! Thank you for being a wonderful mother and an awesome Maama to my little man! You mean the world to all three of us!

A few updates...

Ok so here are the before pictures of my room. I was in the process of trying to ORGANIZE when I took these pictures, but don't be fooled, it is always this messy. Yes it is embarrassing, but that will change because it will be so much easier to keep it organized once I get it organized in my new custom cabinets!!! I went last week and picked out and designed my cabinets, and I have chosen a color for the walls. I need to pick out the carpet and then all will be set in motion! I am so excited!

My sweet little Grant is reading!!! YAY! It hasn't been easy. We have struggled a little bit, but he is getting better and he is so excited and proud of himself. And of course mommy and daddy are so proud of him too!

Some of you may know that I have been having some health problems for about the last four and a half years. But if you didn't know don't feel bad, I told very few people. In that time I have seen several Doctors, with no help. Any doctor I have seen has told me that they couldn't figure out what was wrong with me and they couldn't help me out. All the while things just kept getting worse, and they have been REALLY bad in the past 6 months or so. I had all but given up until I went to see this miracle doctor(thank you thank you thank you Kenzie) He did SEVERAL tests and I had surgery 2 weeks ago. I am feeling better than I had been and things really seem to be on the upward swing for me. I am thrilled about everything this doctor did for me and continues to do! I am waiting for one more test result that I should be getting tomorrow and then we will work on getting our lives back to normal again. Jared, Grant and I are so excited for the possibilities that have presented themselves with these changes. I am very hopeful now that our lives will be even richer than they have been!

Thank you to those who have kept me in their thoughts and helped me through these hard times!

2boys+carseat=SILLYFUN

These boys are so fun together! They can have fun with anything! This time it just happened to be a carseat!

It looks like Dax is crying but this is the silly face he makes when you tell him to say cheese.

DREAM COME TRUE!!!

Sometime last week I entered a contest through utahwordofmouth.com and KSL Studio 5. It was to win a scrapbook room makeover this weekend at the scrapbook expo. I had to write an essay and submit a picture of my scrapbook room. Well on Friday I got a call telling me that my essay was chosen as one of the five finalists. Then they picked five more names out of a box at the expo on Saturday. I had to go to the expo and play this "make a deal" game. First the ten finalists chose numbers to see who would go first and second and so on. I chose #6. So as each lady went up and didnt win the grand prize I got more and more nervous (and excited) I could not decide which number of purse to pick so I had Grant choose. He chose #1 and he was right! I was so excited and shocked I cried, and then called my mommy!
So the prize includes new paint, carpet and custom cabinetry! I will update you all on how the makeover goes! I cant wait to get started!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

We celebrated our St. Patricks day on Sunday with Maama and Papa and Uncle BJ and Aunt CJ! It is a tradition in my family to have corned beef and cabbage, but Jared doesnt like it and Jared is very catered to in my family so we had a very delicious chicken enchilada dinner. (they were very yummy mom) My mom is an amazing cook and an amazing person. Even though she didnt feel good she still had us over and made dinner for all of us. Thank you mom!

Papa made Grant green milk!And after dinner Uncle BJ took him out and played basketball with him. Then we had (GREEN) peach cheesecake for desert.

So excited!

Tonight we are going to see Disney on Ice Mickey and Minnie's Amazing Journey! There will be a whole bunch of different characters, not just Peter Pan or Little Mermaid. So that will be neat. I have wanted to take Grant for a long time, but I was never really sure if he would love it or not? Well this time I decided, what the heck, if he doesnt love it then we know not to ever go again. We even got Jared to agree to go with us! YAY! He doesnt really enjoy things like this but he does love to spend time with me and Grant! We got great seats, row 3 right smack dab in the center. So that will be good. I will be sure to take lots of pictures and post some! I am so excited!
