I am back....

I have not written in 9 months. No excuses, but so much has happened! I cant believe how much changes in your life, in 9 whole months. Where to begin....

Bryan and I have been learning what it means to be "empty Nester's" kinda!!! With all our kids getting older they are still here...but not, if you know what I mean. I cook, clean up after them, but they are usually just curled up on the couch with their boyfriend/girlfriends! and we don't exist.

Eric is in love, and has found his sweetheart, They will be getting married, not sure when, It seems they keep moving it up. We will see! I am happy for them they are so cute together, and so in love. He is still in school for Physical Therapy, and is doing good! Helping run the Margetts buisness, and R.P.T.

Kaylie is dating someone special as well, She is just having fun right now and not looking to get married. I think her heart was broke this past year, and has her guard up a little, but she has met a great guy!!! She is doing amazing in school and is an over achiever! That's good cause she makes up for my "slacking" boys! She has 3 jobs, teaching preschool, teaching dance, and nannying for Alaina and Phil. She loves them all. She fits in Brandon, school, and Family!

Conner is focusing on "his body" and football. He has been lifting weights and going to the gym 2 times a day...can you say obsession! He gets up at 6am, lifts at school, then comes home and goes to the gym with a trainer, (Zack) He has dating a lot, found some cute girls, went to dances but says he doesn't have time for them. (That my Conner) He really has been working hard. I am proud of him cause it has been a lot of work and even though he knows he looks good... He really does! He is doing good in school and has a car, and driving all over, "knock on wood..." No tickets or wrecks!!! He loves to snowboard with Collin, they have a season pass and have spent some time there, this past month.

Collin on the other hand THINKS he has found the girl of his dreams. He is 15 "mind you" but has been dating Sadie for about 9 months. I love her, but I wish they would date others, they are so young! He loves to be with her and is happy when he is!!! They have gone to their first and second dance with each other. He loves baseball and has been lifting weights for that. He has passed his drivers test and drives all over, he cant actually get his licence til Jan 31. But he is ready and excited!!!

21 Years March 10, 1989

Happy anniversary to my amazing husband, who has always worked so hard for our Family.
He is always worried about everyone else, and I know he loves me more than life. He shows it everyday! 21 years is a long time, and I have loved spending all 21 years and counting, with him.
We have a great marriage, I think the kids have seen us fight...really fight, 1 time! and it scared them to death. We (I) argue but, then he just laughs at me! He is so good to me, always makes me laugh, very easy going, always stands behing me, and I love you, and feel very blessed to be your wife, and the Mother of our kids!

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 Tepanyaki 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!
