Birthday boys!!

Where did the time go...I miss this so much. Conner and Collin have been so fun...and challenging (not mentioning any names)but I have grown with every expierience. I love them so much, and am so grateful our Heavenly Father intrusted me with these boys!! Happy Birthday!!! I love you!




Usually we don't celebrate the boys birthdays together, but Kaylie, Eric, Bryan and I decided to get them tickets for the Jazz game, and they don't like the nose bleeds...(They have been too spoiled.) So we got great seats and went to TepanCheck Spellingyaki for some yummy dinner! We will have cake and ice cream on their actual days, but this works out better for me. Happy Birthday guys!!! ...Where did the time go???
Oh... then... after the Party, I went to Mom's to have a sleepover with Jig's, cause Dad and Mom went to Wendover, and thought Jig's would be sad being alone, so they asked ME of course to take care of him!! Next time its Craig, Tammy, Kim, or Sherry's turn!!!!! NOT MINE!! I must love them to give into that!! NO PICTURES OF JIG'S... SORRY!!!

He survived!

Collin has a tendency to want to come home from school when he has a little headache, so when I got a call that he may need stitches I wasn't too worried. Him and a friend were goofing off at lunch, and he got pushed into a door with a hook, (by a huge Samoan kid, that has extreme power!!) (in his exact words.) and it tore his side. I knew it wasn't on purpose cause EVERYONE loves Collin. (now if it was Conner...???) I told him to go to the school nurse. He said he did, and they gave him a bandaid, so I thought... "well he is fine, no need to worry, so I picked him up 2 hours later, and both of his shirts were torn, and he had blood all over! He ended up with 7 stitches, and a Mom who felt way bad. Everyone says it looks like a stab wound, so there should be lots of fun stories with the scar!!! He didn't even flinch when they gave him about 10 shots, cause the needle wasn't working!!! I am tough Mom, he says!!! the nurse accidentally pinched him on his side where it was NOT numb with the tweezers, and he said that was the most painful part, but he was a lot tougher than I would of been!

The battle wound all sewn up!!!!

The scare!!!


As many of you know Mom gave us a scare last Saturday. She started having symptoms of someone who had just had a stroke, so we took her in to the hospital where they began running all kinds of tests. All which came back normal. She has been feeling so much better, and credits it all to....ya again... Sherry! not me and Dad that sat 9 hours at the hospital with her, but said Sherry prayed for her and now she feels good!!! Sherry ALWAYS gets the credit, and I do all the work. ha ha no really thank you Sherry for all your service, we love and miss you so much!!! You are our strength!!!

Bryan and Collins big adventure

Bryan and Collin set out to go skiing, and snowboarding last week, both wanting to show the other one who was better!!! I had to remind Bryan he was almost "50" so be careful. Collin is just athletic and good at anything, but he was a bit shocked at how good his Dad was at skiing. Bryan came home and bragged to us all, that he still had it!!! I am proud of the both of them, and grateful we didn't end up at the hospital!





I am not good at goodbyes, so...see ya soon

This is the build-a-bear Jordan got Kaylie. "Private Cordova"


"Everything will be okay in the end. If its not okay, its not "the end." Life doesn't always give you the people you want, It gives you the people you need to help you, to hurt you, to love you, to leave you, and to make you into who you are meant to be!"

Kaylie has been down this last week, with Jordan leaving to the Army, and I just kept saying "Kaylie, its ONLY six months" but then saying goodbye today was really hard for me, which many of you know I am not good at all with goodbyes even just overnighters with the kids I cry, but really Jordan has become such a permanent fixture at our house that we have all grown to love him so much, he is a great kid!!! I know they will be engaged when he comes home!!
They are so much in love, and that should carry then through anything!
