GOING PRIVATE...

Alright, I really am going private, there are too many cruel people in this world and I am no longer taking chances. Plus there are people out there that I do not want in on my personal life. So if you want an invite, send me your email addresses before Wednesday, August 3rd. I will go private that day. Thanks and sorry friends, I really hate to do this.

To be a kid again....

I wanna run through the sprinklers again with not a care in the world...
I wanna run up and down the sidewalk screaming...
I wanna eat a popsicle as it runs down my hands and not care at all...
I wanna jump on a tramp and show off my latest move...
I wanna change my outfit 30 times a day and not care about laundry...
I wanna ride my bike so fast that I feel the wind along my face...
I wanna jump in a mud puddle just because...
I wanna swing on a swing, twirl on a merry-go-round and climb a tree...
I wanna play hopscotch with the biggest rock...
I wanna talk to my friends for hours on the phone over nothing inparticular...
I wanna build a fort out of blankets and chairs...
I wanna watch a Disney movie and dream of living in a castle...
I wanna smile for no reason at all...
I wanna have no worries and only small fears...
I wanna dream of coming up with the latest invention...
I wanna be pulled in a wagon around the block...

If only, I could be a kid again.

My boys latest invention, hence the reason I wanna be a kid again.

I think when were little we spend our time rushing life by. We want to be 5, so we can go to school. We want to be 13, because were a teenager. We want to turn 16, so we can drive. We want to turn 18, so we can become an adult. I've been telling my boys lately....DON'T RUSH IT! When you grow up, you have responsibilities, you have to work for the rest of your life and you spend a lifetime trying to figure out what you want to be when you grow up.

This week, yes its only Tuesday has been a test. I feel like Bob and I are dealt so many bad cards. He has a really bad infection, its scary and if it goes to his heart it could kill him. A normal person (with no heart condition) wouldn't nessicarly have this problem, but Bob's heart disease is always a weighing factor in everything. And most of the time infections will attack the weakest thing in your body. I am clinging to faith right now. We have spent the last two days at the hospital getting this figured out. Even the doctor is worried. Bob has had two shots you know where and is on the strongest antibiotic you can take. I haven't slept lately, I am sick and its the only thing on my mind. I just want to not have to worry about something life threatening for awhile. But I do believe in the back of my mind that he is going to be okay, he is stubborn and hard headed, but he isn't giving up anytime soon. Obviously Bob is here for a reason. So friends keep your fingers crossed that this goes away ASAP.

Another beach day

Yes, we really have been here EVERY single weekend for the last month, but I love it. Yesterday was way fun, they had a Monster knee boarding contest going on and it was free to go where we went, but $10.00 if you went in. I think we had the best seats to the show.

The water is perfect here, its warm, less crowded and its not deep which is perfect for the kids.

We spent 7 hrs here yesterday...playing, running, eating, jumping, splashing, swimming and relaxing on the tube. I love it, its nice to get out of the city life and break away to the mountains and enjoy the mountain life. But when I am done, I am done!!

Lexi isn't one bit afraid of the water now, she loves it, but scares me, because she has no fear. I also had a bad dream about her and water last night, I woke up sick to my stomach this morning.

Jax and Lex built a river going to the water in the sand. This brought back memories to my childhood. I remember playing in the sand for hours and hours building things.

The people next to us had these cools kayak things. My boys loved them and the people let my kids play on them for hours. I think I know what I will be purchasing them soon. I loved watching them laugh and smile on these things.

This boy...

He makes me smile, he is stubborn, loving, a mama's boy, full of life.

He makes my heart melt, I could stare at him for hours and hours and hours. He says the funniest stuff.

The other night he said to me "Mom, I love you more than you love me!" And, I said "not even close!" The love a Mom has for their child is like no other, its pure, its deep and its strong. There is no way to explain how much a Mom loves their children. I would die for my kids, I would walk in a fire to save them, I would do anything for them and I mean ANYTHING.

But he still made me smile, because I know he loves his Mommy, I am his Mommy, I am the person he runs to when he is hurting, the one he turns to for advise and I love it. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

That night as I was tucking him in, he said "Mom, you will always love me huh?" Yes bud, I will, always and forever.

I love FRIDAYS

I could list a million reason why I LOVE FRIDAYS...

But, I'll spare you with a couple.

1. I get off at 9:30am, yes I am a morning person, I go to work at 5:30 and am off at 9:30. ITS GLORIOUS!!

2. I have the whole day to spend with my 3 monkeys either basking in the sun, shopping or whatever we want. I LOVE IT!!

3. Its the start of the weekend...HELLO!!!

I love to live at the pool or lake as much as possible in the summer and everytime we have gone to the aquatic center, I have forgotten my camera. NOT TODAY!!!

This little girl, I've got her trained, she loves the water, I had to fight her to leave today. Its a good thing, because this family LOVES water.

This picture makes me smile.

Here the smile to prove she LOVES it. Swimmin, Swimmin!!!

And this monkey....Oops, I mean FISH, he would stay all day if I'd let him. I think he left the pool once and that was on break.

The floaties last 2 mins and she wanted them off.

This was pretty funny, Jax loves the twirly slide, but he goes down 1 MPH and Bob got down before Jax even hit the bottom.

Yes Ashton, you have to sit for 15 minutes, thats it.

Bob's hilarious jump off the high dive, he just advised me that he has to go a couple times in order to do something cool....whatever....

My fish.

My poor Jax has no meat on his bones and gets cold really fast. I need to beef him up.

He makes me laugh.

I love FRIDAYS and this is why...after a long week, this is just what I need.

We are living here....

Yep, we're moving in or maybe we already have. We have been at Pineview EVERY SINGLE weekend, but I love it. Its nice to sit in the middle of the mountains and soak in the warmth of the sun.

And the biggest accomplishment of the day....

getting this little diva into the water. She went "swimming, swimming!" and loved it.

The saddest part of the whole weekend...

I broke my toe, its horrible looking now, its bruised and swolen and definately BROKEN. It sucks and its a horrible story. I am really not even sure how I broke it, but I know I was running and thats it. Go ahead and laugh, I am too.
