We're going through changes....

Well, things have been pretty interesting to say the least for the last couple of months. I have really sat back and reflected on life and what I have done and what I really wanted. There have been many trials, tribulations and stupid decisions made LOL What I need is a clean slate. Somewhere that I can go and start all over. For myself and my family. It is time to leave Cedar City, but this time, we are even going to leave the state. The kids and I will be packing up and moving to Oklahoma in October after the first quarter of school.
Some of you know that my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and is now in remission thanks to many prayers and the power of our Heavenly Father. She recently had to undergo back surgery and could really use some help. She really misses us and would like to have her grandbabies so close again and honestly, my little girl would be much better off being around Nana and Papa again!
Scott will hopefully be able to join us as soon as he is released and as long as the Interstate Compact goes through, he will complete his three years probation there. He has a much better chance of succeeding away from this place and the people who he has interacted with in the past...people, places, things...it will be a clean start for the both of us. And hopefully, we can pick up where we left off in improving our relationship and hopefully still have the goal of going to the Temple. As of right now, that is more Scott's goal and what he wants. Don't get me wrong, I want it too, but lets just say that his faith is in a better place than mine right now...I am still working on it.
I am also going to be starting school again this month. I will be working torwards my BS degree in graphic arts with an emphasis is print media design. I am very excited!
There is so much change coming and I don't really know what to expect but I do feel that I am making the best decision for right now. Hopefully it will all work out ok!

So Much For That Idea...

Hi! Well so much for my great idea of posting alot more blogs this year. My mom calls me the world's greatest "PRO"-crastinator! I guess the nic-name fits. Anyway-I figured I would sign on and at least say hello and that we are still hanging in there! This school year has gone quickly and my little girl will be entering the 2nd grade in the fall and my baby boy will in Kindergarten! I guess, it may be time to start thinking about adding a new addition to the family...It's been a thought in mine and Scott's head for about a year now though, so I really don't know..We are also considering a big move...I'll keep ya posted!

A New Year

Happy New Year! I know I am a little late (as usual)I am really hoping that this year goes much better than what last year had in store for us. I guess time will tell. I am blessed to have a wonderful family & I love them very much! Do I always like them, nope,I don't, but that's a hurdle in life I plan to jump, not crash into!It's definitely been one of those days...well, actually make that a year where I had been living by this motto...A smile is the best way to deal with difficult situations. Even if it's a fake one. Used properly, you can fool anyone with them...Needless to say, we survived the year!
I decided not to make any resolutions this year because in all honesty, I don't keep them and then I get mad at myself for not living up to my own expectations. I AM going to appreciate what and who I have in my life and be grateful and not take a day for granted...if anything would ever happen, I don't want to be saying "If Only..."
Now a little update on everyone. Scott and I are doing great. I am still working at the Picture Me! Portrait Studio, and I am the Assistant Manager. I am also still working on Mon Cherie Photography but I really don't focus to much energy on it right now as I really dont want to start my studio here in Cedar City.

I am also working another part time job as a customer service rep for Itzy Bitzy. If you have little ones that can wear these shoes and accessories, check us out at www.itzybitzy.com Scott is doing well, he had quit smoking but kinda fell back on the habit! He is working full time at Parkway Ford and also part time at Brian Head...he is so excited to get to snowboard for free!


We had a wonderful holiday and all of us were pretty spoiled! Our favorite gift was our new addition to our family. Meet Duchess Blu Skyelee!

She is our purebred Blue Merle Great Dane! (please excuse the messy house behind her!) Both Scott and I have a passion for big dogs and Danes are such wonderful pets! She is very smart and pretty mellow which is nice! She is a gem with her kennel training!
Anyway, the kids are getting so big! They are pretty much driving me insane on some days but I wouldn't trade them in for anything in the world. There are some days that they can get along so well and are literally best friends and inseparable, but on another day they are screaming at each other and usually throwing blows...

Ysabella is coming up on seven, I just can't believe how fast she is growing up. She is a little drama queen and I can seriously already dread her being a teenager!! She comes home from school with all her little stories about boys chasing her, and this girl not liking this girl and so on and so on...It scares me how fast our society is pushing little girls to grow up! She can be sweet and innocent when she wants to be...she is a whiz at math and loves the color blue and purple. She adores My Little Ponies and Tinkerbell and is in fact, pushing for a Tinkerbell birthday party as I am typing this up!

Trystan is 4 1/2 now and wow, is he a character. He is my monkey! The boy has no fear!! He will start kindergarten next fall...so sad for me, my baby is getting too big! He knows his ABC's and can count to 20 and then skips all the way to 100! His favorite color is green and the boy loves Transformers, especially Bumblebee! He is a little scrapper for sure, I am having to tell him to be good and be nice every single day at daycare!!

Well this has definitely been a long post! I will be posting again soon, we are due for some new family pictures so I will get those up as soon as we have them done.
