So Catty
I believe that Junior High girls are the very worst! The meanest, most emotional, awkward, sensitive, moody, back stabbing, back talking, and just down right nasty. Some girls are worse than others, and just for the record, I don't exclude my own daughter from some of the items, depending on the day.
I have heard from more than one person that Kassy so called cheated to win her SBO election. The kids are supposed to make posters and give a speech, they aren't supposed to hand out treats or anything else during the week. Kassy hung her posters with green duct tape. She gave a half a dozen of her friends pieces of duct tape, not as a bribe, cause really what kind of bribe is green duct tape, but because they wanted a piece. I guess some might see that as passing out "something" to further your campaign, but come on, duct tape, are they serious?! Some of these same kids that are complaining about the duct tape are also saying that Kassy sent out a text saying, "don't vote for .....". Here's my take on that, first, I asked Kassy and she said she didn't. Second, I can check Kassy's messages to see if there is an outgoing text like that, and third, she knows that if I found out she did send a message like that out I would take her phone away so fast her head would spin. All in all the entire thing makes me sad.
I'm not saying Kassy is perfect, see above comment, she did make some mean remarks about one of the girls posters being "CUTE/Girly". She and I have already discussed how inappropriate and rude those comments were.
The craziest thing to me about all of this is that these kids are going to have to work together as SBO's next year.
I am truly sorry to the kids that were offended by Kassy passing out her pieces of duct tape. I can't imagine that it really swayed people, and I know she didn't do it to "cheat". She really didn't see the harm in a few pieces of green tape. As for the text message, if anyone can prove to me that she sent one, I'd really like to see it. So far no one has been able to come up with this text.
The craziest thing to me about all of this is that these kids are going to have to work together as SBO's next year. Isn't getting along, helping build unity at the school, and being an example to others what being an SBO is all about? I hope these kids can put all of this behind them and be great SBO's next school year. This is the time of their lives that they should be enjoying, not bickering over a few pieces of tape, who's poster is to"cute/girly", or who had the ballet box stuffed in their favor. Enjoy these days of youth because they disappear way to FAST!
Junior High - I truly believe that if you can make it through these years of your life, you can make it threw anything!

AWARE
I've become extremely aware of the fact that I am getting older every day, and quite frankly I'm not very happy about it. I know that there are many out there who would say, "you aren't old, you're just a youngen", but I beg to differ.
After losing both Dave's mom, my mom, and all of my grandparents, I've come to the realization that I am the next generation in my family to "go". The thought kind of terrifies me.
I guess the important thing to do now is to live life to it's fullest. To not put things off, and to enjoy every moment, because you never now when life is going to throw you a curve ball.
Those of you who know my friend Tracy Fischer, and even if you don't know her, please pray for her and her family. Her brother, who would have been 45 this year, died in his sleep the other night. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. Curve Ball!
Also, please take a moment to pray for my little brother. He is very sick right now, has a new baby at home, and could use lots of prayers. Curve Ball!

Shanon and Baby M at the baby shower!
Introducing Baby M! Isn't she adorable?!
So cute. Look at that perfect little face.
A picture I never thought I would take. Jared and his baby girl. She's got him wrapped around her finger already!

Welcome to the family!!!
On her way
I posted this yesterday, but accidentally put it on our YW Blog. It still counts as yesterdays post, right?
Baby "M" should be making her 1st appearance sometime tonight. I am so excited to meet her. Knowing where her spirit is coming from makes me even more excited. I am pretty sure that Nana is having a hard time saying good bye to her, covering her with hugs and kisses, before sending her off to meet her new dad, Nana's baby boy, Jared.Welcome Baby M, we can't wait to meet you!Still can't believe my little brother is going to be a dad!

Survived
What a day. Who knew that going to the zoo could literally wipe you out. I feel as if I have been run over by a bus. After riding the school bus to the zoo, then waiting for 30 minutes while some technical difficult was taken care of, they couldn't find our reservation, we finally headed into the zoo. I can't say that the kids in my group were terrible, but I did have a few of the more "challenging kids". A couple of the girls in my group were extremely whinny. It was just about 10:00 am when we went in and they started complaining about the fact that they were starving. I passed around licorice, but that only helped for a few minutes. The scheduled plan was that we would meet the other kids and chaperons from 11:30 - 12:30 for lunch. I tried to explain to these girls that that's how it was at school, that they didn't get to go to the lunch room to eat just because they were hungry that there was an assigned time for it. Finally after alot of whining 11:30 came around and we went and ate lunch. After lunch the kids were pretty much done with the zoo, we had seen most of the animals, and decided what they really wanted was to go to the play area. So that's what we did. Funny thing, when we were walking to the play area I stopped and pointed some of the animals out to the kids, one of the "whinny" girls said to me "Why do we keep stopping to look at animals?" I thought it, and wanted to say it, but I didn't......BECAUSE WE ARE AT THE ZOO!!!!! We then spent the next stressful 30 minutes at the play area. Stressful for me because it's really hard to keep track of 6 kids running around a large play area. It would have been less stressful if there was only one entrance into the play are, but there are several. However, the kids had a ball and everyone made it out safely. I then took them to get a treat to pass the last bit of time. Whew!!! That's not where the insanity ended thou, we still had the bus ride home and it was loud and crazy. All I can say is that we don't pay our school teachers near enough! My favorite part of the zoo, besides being done with it, was the new baby elephant - super cute.
Jessy had a great time at Tracy Aviary and is anxious to take us all back to experience the birds. I was sad that I wasn't able to go with her. How dare the school plan field trips on the same day for first and second graders. Then again, probably not very many people have first and second graders the same year. In talking with some of the mom's that went with the second graders, it was every bit as wild as it was with the first graders. Again, teachers should be paid more.
Kassy's posters got put up today and tomorrow she has to give a speech that will be broadcast on the school's TV's. Keeping my fingers crossed for her. She could really use a win!
As some of you may know, Dave hasn't been feeling well. He's had an infection and his medication caused some weird side effects. Just FYI, my recent comments about cancer does not have anything to do with him. I was just venting. However, if you do know someone with cancer, I encourage you to pray for them, pray for their families, and pray for a cure!
Finally, after my stressful day I was able to finish my book today. I have read lots of other books lately that do not involve vampires, and I have really liked them, but deep down I am still obsessed with vampires. They fascinate me, and I can't help but get "sucked" into the vampire world - lol!

Big Day
Tomorrow is a big day for all the kids. Jessy is going to Tracy Aviary, Cody is going to The Zoo, and Kassy's posters go up. As for me, I'll be going crazy, oh wait, I'm already there. Actually, I'm hoping to find a few minutes to read my book.
Loving the weather. Hope the 70's stay around for awhile. I'm starting to not even mind the rain, it's keeping my grass looking fantastic!

SBO Posters
Kassy and I have spent most of the afternoon putting together her SBO posters, which are due tomorrow. We started out at Momentum taking pictures. Next we got the pictures printed at Walgreens. Finally we put it all together. Her slogan is "Climb Higher with KASSY". I'll have to take a picture of her and her poster tomorrow before she goes to school so I can post it. Keep your fingers crossed for her.
Just one more little shout out: I HATE CANCER! Just in case some of you didn't already know that!

The Kids, The Dog, The Husband, and ME
Kassy is running for student body officer at her school. Keep your fingers crossed for a win! She has an awesome campaign slogan, that I can't release until Wednesday when she puts her posters up.
Jessy is a fish. Two weeks ago she was jumping off the edge of the pool to her dad, this weekend she was jumping into the deep end and swimming to the side by her self. Plus, she was doing all sorts of amazing tricks under water.
Cody would play basketball non stop if I'd let him. He loves it when I play horse with him because I always loose. He has a wicked shot from his own personal three point line that he always hits and I always miss!
Kalea was so happy to see us all after her weekend at the "Hotel for Dogs". When I picked her up this morning she gave me the cold shoulder, but after a few minutes she warmed up. Once I got her home she ran all through the house, making sure she stopped at the kids so the could pet her as she went by. Now she won't leave my side.
Dave is doing math homework and getting more frustrated by the minute. Jamie, I hope you are up for the challenge cause you might have a tougher job then last session. I know you he can do it, he just needs to get feeling better and then things will look brighter.
Me, I am grateful for the kids, the dog, and the husband (not in any particular order). They keep me on my toes and make life interesting.

Patience is a Virture
I like to think that I am a pretty patient person. However, when I find myself having to be patient, I realize I might be lacking in this virtue. I hate waiting for results! I need answers immediately, is that to much to ask for?!!

Smack dab in the middle
Have you ever thought to yourself, "things are going just as I planned", and no sooner then you thought it something happens and you find yourself smack dab in the middle of unknowns, changes, why, and what's next? That is how I am feeling today!
Monday is usually my favorite day of the week, but not today. I am glad that today is almost over.

Mother's Day
There are many mom's out there who have helped me get to this point in my life. Thanks for the examples you have been. A quote was given in church today, I think it was by Sherry Dew, it went something like this, "thanks to the mom who bore me, and to all those mom's who bear with me..."
No one ever said the job of being a mother was going to be easy, but it is definitely worth it. Even though my 3 monsters, oops I meant kids, drive me crazy, I couldn't imagine my world without them. To them I say thanks for letting me be your mom.
Here's to my own mom, who I miss more than anything. I am sad that it took me so long to realize how truly amazing she was. I remember thinking when I was younger, "I don't want to be like my mom". Now I think, "If I could be half the person my mom was, I'll be okay."
I am grateful for Dave's mom, for raising such a great son. I wish she could have been around to enjoy the sweet life of being a grandma, she would have been an amazing one! I couldn't have asked for a better Mother-In-Law. Miss her lots.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you fabulous mom's out there.

I HATE the BIG "C" word!
Over the past few months I have posted several things that I like, but tonight I'm going to post about something that I HATE! CANCER!
Of all the sick, foul, terrible, horrible words in the English language I think the "C" word is the worst! I hate the "C" word! I hate what it stands for, what it means, and what it takes. It shows no mercy, takes what it wants, and leaves those around it shocked, in pain, and grieving over it's destruction. Does it get any worse than that? I think not.
In this modern world that we live in, why is it that we can't seem to find a cure for such an awful disease, WHY, WHY, WHY?!
This Mother's Day I am Missing my mom, Dave's mom, and my Grandma, who lost their way too short lives to the "C" word.

It's done, it was fun
Tonight was my sister-in-law Shanon's baby shower. Soooo much fun. Details later, I am worn out!

Pregnant
No, it's not me, it's one of my very best friends from Junior High. (Had you all going didn't I?) She has been trying to get pregnant for a REALLY long time, and finally it happened. I am so excited for her and her husband, they are going to make great parents.
We laughed at the fact that my baby is almost 7 and she is just getting started. When her baby is 7, Kassy will be 20, Jessy 15, and Cody 14. Agh, scary on all accounts. To make it even crazier we have a friend that has a 21 year old and an 18 year old right now. She could easily be a grandma by the time my other friends baby is 7.
I use the word "friend" rather than her name because she hasn't told everyone yet, just a select few of her favorite people. I'll give her name up soon.
Again, I am so excited, overjoyed, nervous, concerned, etc, for her as she gets ready to have her first BABY! Crossing our fingers for a BOY, however, she says she doesn't really care as long as it's healthy!

Getting Ready for a Baby Shower
I don't think I've mentioned this in awhile....my brother and his wife are having a baby. She is due next month. Jen and I are giving them a shower on Thursday and it's going to be at my house. I've spent the day with Jen looking for candy bars for a game we are playing and for a gift. Needless to say I didn't get all the things done I wanted to around my house, so now instead of blogging about my weekend I have to go clean. Can't have a dirty house for a party. I'll get to our Park City weekend another day, maybe after the shower is done.
Can't wait for my new niece to be born!!!

Day Off
I had planned on blogging about Park City but, Dave took the day off and so we spent the day together. I figured that was way more important than blogging. Instead of the run down on Park City, here's my run down of today.
1st started the morning off at 5:30 at the gym. By the way, that is a gosh awful hour to do anything, let alone squats and lunges. Next we had breakfast, rollie cakes, and then I got the kids off to school. Kassy's friend Brianna, who's mom drives morning car pool, was sick today so I had to take her to school as well, made for a crazy morning. When I got home Dave had started the laundry and finished cleaning up breakfast. Did a few things around the house then headed out. Stopped at the motorcycle shop, but didn't get what Dave needed there. However, I did see the exact same pair of spy sunglasses that I bought at the snowmobile races for quadruple the price. Yeah for me! Next we picked up lunch at Village Bakery, best sandwiches, we pulled Kassy out of school for lunch and let her join us. After getting her back to school we wondered around RC Willey, and then we went and saw LOSERS, which by the way I really liked. After them movie it was back to normal routine except for Dave stepped in and picked up the kids from school. Once home the craziness begun, Kassy and Lisa to climbing, Jessy to gymnastics, and Cody hang time with dad. On our way home from gymnastics Jessy and I picked up pizza. That pretty much brings me to right now. Kassy just got home from climbing and is eating dinner. We need to have family home evening and then it'll be time to watch Dancing with the Stars. Just FYI I want Nicole and Derrek to win. All in all it has been a great day.
Tomorrow I'll post about Park City.

Boredom Buster
Right after I posted yesterday, Dave came in the house and said, "Everyone get your stuff ready, we are going to Park City for the Night." It wasn't MOAB, however, we had a great time. I'll down load pictures and post more tomorrow!

HELP, I AM BORED
We were supposed to go to Moab this weekend, but unfortunately it didn't pan out. Friends, weather, dog, and where to stay all played a role in why we didn't go. Now I am sitting around, doing nothing, being Bored.
Seriously besides going to movies and out to eat what is there to do? I know there is more to do, but apparently I have lose track of what it is. I've decided I've become a pretty boring person because I can't come up with anything. At least when it's warm there are a few more options, but right now the word that comes to mind when I think of entertainment in my life is BORING! HELP!!!
I would love to hear what some of you do for fun. I apparently need some new ideas.
Totally unrelated, I finished The Shack by WM. Paul Young. I can not say this was my favorite book, truthfully, I struggled reading it. However, there where some things that really made me ponder while reading it. I wouldn't tell anyone to rush out to buy it to read, but it is a book that can make you think in times of adversity. One of the lines I really liked said, "don't forget that in the midst of all your pain and heartache, you are surrounded by beauty..." That being said, I struggle with the idea of God being a women and looking like Queen Latifi, you'll have to read the book to understand what I mean.
