Our Son Spencer

2010-03-19T00:40:00.000-07:00

I wanted to share something so dear to me and Daniel about our youngest son Spencer. we just found out that our son as asperger's which is high functioning autism. its been really difficult to find out that your child that you love so unconditionally has a disorder that can't be cured. words can't describe how i feel or how my husband feels about this. its so heartbreaking that we have to see Spencer struggle with the rest of his life with this. as a mother and being told that your son has a serious developmental delay and that he has problems functioning like a normal child and that he has to be medicated is very hard to hear. I'm struggling with this so much and i'm hurting inside. i just wish i could take this problem away that Spencer has so he can live a normal life like his brother and sister get to have. His asperger's is being managed and taken care of it just hurts to know he will have to go through all of this for the rest of his life and that scares us so much. we love our son so much and no mother ever wants to see any of their children suffer and i'm one of those mothers that have to watch my son suffer through life even when hes medicated and getting the help he needs cause it will always be there to haunt him as he grows up. i want to do so much for my baby and give him the best life i can cause that is how much he means to me and Daniel. its not fair whats happening with Spencer but we love him and will always be here for him no matter what and that is what truly matters. Its going to be a struggle but we are both loving and strong parents that we will make it easy for him to get through with what ever it takes. and now being a mother with a son that has autism words can't describe what an amazing son Spencer is to me and how much i love him and that i'm here for him. To the mothers out there that have a special needs child my heart goes out to you and your family and your in my heart. its so hard for us right now and we know its going to take a lot of effort to get through this but i have faith that we will cause that is who we are. To us our son is not a label he is our child and we love him dearly and would never treat him like a label just cause he has autism, he is still a human being and our baby boy. To all my family out there thank you for being here for us and for loving Spencer, and we love you. Mommy and Daddy love you very much Spencer and never forget that!!!

Mine and Daniels Journey together!!

2009-12-11T20:56:00.000-08:00

last night at the Stephens Performing Arts Center my husband Daniel graduated from the college of technology. i just want to tell you how far Daniel has come since i have known him. we met in high school and became friends at first and hung out with the same people. then we started dating each other and we fell for each other months later. we were always together and having fun hanging out with our friends. then we had something happen to us that we never saw coming, i found out i was going to have a baby my senior year. we were terrified and worried, cause we had no clue on what was going to happen. well at 6 months of my pregnancy Daniel left me all alone, my mother and father helped me all the way through it, and i was very thankful for that cause becoming a teenage mother is a scary thing. the day Jaden was born i called Daniel at school and told him his son was just born and he came up and wanted a second chance to be together. so yes i did get back with him and things were going okay being parents to a baby boy, it was a lot of work and lots of stress with everything we had to do for Jaden. months later daniel proposed to me and we ended up getting married about a week later. we had a beautiful wedding that my parents threw for us. when we got married we got into a trailer home to live at with our new family and life together. things were going okay until we found out a year later that we were going to have another baby, this time a girl. we were excited cause we were married and things were going great for us and nothing could be better. our baby girl was born that April in 2002 and we were so happy. after that things just got weird, Daniel didn't want to be home all the time and he was always going out to be with his friends. he just seemed like he didn't want to be a father or husband anymore cause he wanted to still have some of his teenage years. we were still together but on the day of out daughters blessing he left me a note saying he didn't want to grow up yet and that he didn't want to be with me anymore. it was really hard that day for me going through all of that, and for my family to. so i stayed alone from Daniel for quite awhile and it was rough but i had my family to help me and get me through it. we got divorced and decided that we didn't want this anymore, so we went our seperate ways. i missed him a lot all the time and it was hard for me to do anything specially be a mother. he was out there having the time of his life with his friends and girlfriends while i was being a mother to our two kids. after that i decided to go to Nebraska and live with my aunt Jill and uncle rick for awhile. they helped me out so much and i was doing really good, until Daniel found me and wanted to have me back in Pocatello with our kids and be a family again. i didn't do it i was hurt and i didn't want to go through everything again, i had been hurt way to much and i didn't want to go through it again. i did end up going back months later to try me and Daniel out again. he had promised me that he wanted us back together again and he wanted to marry me again. i had a hard time believing him cause he had hurt me so much in the past years. we got married October 2003 at the court house. we were happy and thing were going great and he was always happy with me and loved being a father and husband all the time. he did so many wonderful things for me and was always there during every medical problem that i started to have. we also ended up finding out that i was pregnant again with a boy, i was shocked and so was Daniel but we were very happy. Spencer was born that following year in April 2004. we were so happy to be parents yet again to another baby boy. he was always there for me and was happy and always was there at home with us. after awhile we moved into my parents old apartment building which was where we raised Spencer and it was awesome. then months later Daniel got into trouble with the law and ended up going to prison for a year. it was really tough on me and the kids that Daniel wasn't here anymore for awhile. he called us everyday and wrote to me all the time. while Daniel was away Spencer started to act weird all the time, he wouldn't talk a lot or eat any food, he was always fussy and having a lot of tantrums. i knew there was something wrong with him but i didn't know what it was. we found out that we had a son with autism, ADHD, and PDD. Daniel was there for me while i was dealing with Spencers disability. it was really hard to do it on my own while Daniel was locked up. having a child with a disability is a very hard thing to deal with by yourself. he never stopped loving us behind bars like i thought he would, cause of the past of how he used to be and with our sons disabilty cause i thought it would be to much for him. he was the opposite he did so much for me behind bars. he graduated the G E D program at cottonwood which is a jail rehab center, and he was well behaved and was let out on good behavior. after he got home he made me so happy and helped me with everything that he missed. with Daniel being on probation it made it hard for us to be together cause if he didn't have a job he could go back to jail. our life was good but it was annoying cause we had to have permission to go everywhere and permission to do a lot of things, it made it really difficult to have a life of freedom. Daniel started going to college instead of working so he could be with us in the evening and be able to help me out with Spencer. Daniel got hurt in college two years ago in October from a saw cutting his thumb all the way to the bone, he had lost a lot of blood that day and he was in so much shock that i thought i was going to loose my best friend and husband. since he got hurt he couldn't be in the automotive program cause he was hurt in that program. Daniel decided to go into computer technology and loves it so much. Daniel has been through a lot in his life, he didn't have a father growing up he had a step father but not a father figure that he needed. his mom was always working and never had time for Daniel, Daniel had to work for everything while his brother was always getting spoiled. Daniel has had a lot of problems with the law and being in and out of jail, cause nobody ever cared besides me. i have always been there for my husband no matter what he has done to me in the past. Daniel has had a tough life and i'm so proud of how far he has come. i never thought in a million years that Daniel and i would still be together after everything that has happened to us in the past. but we are and we have been through everything together and thats what makes a marriage last, i know when reading this you might think Daniel is a awful person, but hes not, he has changed in so many ways that none of you could understand. i know he put me through so much in my life with him but i became a stronger woman because of it. i have been divorced with Daniel and i ended up marrying him again and we are still together till this day. we are very happy and have a lot going for us. Daniel has come such a long way and i never thought he would. i'm so glad to have met Daniel and been able to be with him with no problems anymore. i know we don;t have a lot right now but i know that Daniel will give us the life that he has always promised me. and hes finally doing it slowly. i love my husband so much and i don;t think i could ever live without him in my life. like i said we have been through so much and we are still standing strong together. i'm very proud of you honey and i'm thankful to have had a wonderful journey with you good and bad. i can't wait for the years ahead of us as a family and getting into a new home and being able to have a great life finally. i love you Daniel so much and i'm so proud of you!!

happy 25th birthday to my sister. i love you very much jamie and i'm so thankful to have you in my life. your a great aunt to our kids and they love you so much. and you have always been a great sister to me. i know i have put you through a lot with everything from my past and i know i took your sweet 16th birthday from you cause i had jaden the day before, and i don't think i can ever make up for that but having jaden a day before your birthday was actually really cool cause your first nephew came as a early birthday gift. i know then must have been hard for you cause of everything that had happened that day, but you are so close to jaden and i'm so grateful for that. having jaden then was a blessing for us as i look back on that day, i'm sorry for taking your 16th away but i'm so glad that you and jaden share something special. i'am very sorry for hurting you 9 years ago, one of these days i will make up that special time that i took from you. i love you so much and i'm so blessed to have a sister like you. i miss you and wish i could be there on your birthday, but i know i will see you in 24 days we are counting down the days. i hope you have a great birthday and have lots of fun. thank you for always being there for me and my family. i love you jamie!!!

Thanksgiving Week!!

2009-11-22T15:16:00.001-08:00

i can't believe that thanksgiving is this week on Thursday. i'm excited to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner for my kids and husband. this will be the first time that me , my husband, and our three kids having a thanksgiving dinner with just us at our home. we are taking on traditions starting this year cause our kids are getting older now and its time to do things differently like when i was a kid. the kids are really excited for the Macys Thanksgiving Parade on Thursday morning. i love the parade i haved watched the Macys Parade since i was a kid so its so cool to see my kids enjoying the parade on tv just like when i used to. its going to be different not visiting any of our family this year cause we used to get everyone together and have a big thanksgiving dinner at a church or someones home. i miss those days being all together and playing games and eating and having a great time, hopefully we can do that again someday it just won't be the same cause grandpa is not here anymore but he will always be in our hearts and never forgotten. well at least i can call and talk with my family and do a web cam chat and be able to see each other. its going to be really nice to stay at home and just have a nice Thanksgiving dinner with just me and my wonderful husband and our kids. So i better get ready for this week and i will post pictures of our Thanksgiving week and day!! love you all and Happy Holidays!!

Spencers First Tooth

2009-11-08T13:51:00.000-08:00

yesterday around sometime not sure what time but spencer came and told us that he lost a tooth. he was really calm and brave when he lost his tooth, we were very proud of him. he got excited last night cause he knew that the tooth fairy was coming to bring him something special for losing his tooth. when he woke up this morning he found a envelope that was from the tooth fairy. he ripped it open we read the letter that she sent and then spencer found 4 quarters in the letter. he was very excited and happy that the tooth fairy came last night and gave him this letter with a gift. i took a couple of pictures of this morning. he can't wait to loose another tooth so the tooth fairy will come again, but we told him that you need to keep your teeth.

Spencers First Week Of Kindergarten

2009-08-30T23:08:00.000-07:00

he was so excited the other day to go to school for the first time, he started last week on monday. he was also excited to start school cause he was able to finally wear his new clothes for school, his new tony hawk shoes and socks, and his new mario brothers backpack. he looked so cute that morning for his first day and i took alot of pictures of his first couple of days at school last week. my last baby is growing up and its so hard to do this transformation of letting your child go and seeing him growing up right in front of you. his teacher is very nice her name is mrs. olson and she really likes spencer already and likes us to cause hes always on time or a little early to school, he has his badge around his neck that the kids have to wear so they know which bus their on when they get out of school, and the badge also tells you what class hes in and what his full name is. and daniel the other day made spencers badge really cool, it has all of spencers and daniel and i 's information with phone numbers, address, bus number when he does ride, his disability information just in case, and it makes us not worry so much cause his teacher makes sure the kids have their badge on them before school starts and then the kid that does not have the badge has to stay after school with the teacher no matter what if they have to take the bus or go with someone, what she does is she waits with the kids that don't have the badge and she calls the parents and says to them that she can't let the kids go without the parents showing up themselves to pick them up that day, and that if they forget the badge again the next day she will do the same thing, his teacher really cares about safety and we love that specially with spencer he doesn't really understand safety and about strangers cause everywhere we go he says hi to everyone and we talk to him about it but he still doesn't really understand it, so having a teacher like this is very rewarding for us cause we know she checks every kid and makes sure the kids get to the right person, bus, or area before she goes home, and you don't get to see that very often in a teacher, so its really great to have that for spencer. also spencer is listening to the teacher, he asks questions by raising his hand and trying to understand the teacher so the teacher likes that about spencer cause hes participating in the class and asking and telling the teacher when he says something. even on his first day of school he was the best kid in his class, the teacher even brought up his name alot and showed the other kids what spencer is doing right and to follow what hes doing, it just amazed me of how much spencer has improved over the last week at home and at school, and boy do we love it. and the cool part about his school and teacher is his teacher pulled me aside and started saying that she really understands spencer cause she is somehow just like spencer and spencer is very easy for her to teach and handle in the class and that was so awesome to hear that on his first week of school. spencer loves getting up in the morning to get ready for school, he has been bathing himself, getting himself dressed and picking out the clothes he wants to wear all by himself, he makes sure he eats his breakfast and lunch before school cause he only gets snack time at school. spencer is doing so good since last week and we are so proud of him. spencer also has a lot of friends already that he hangs out with at recess and in the classroom and before school, and that makes us very happy that he finally has friends. his main best friend is ethan and hes very nice to spencer and spencer is very nice to him which is great. i just had to talk about his first days at school cause its amazing on how well he is doing and it makes me and daniel feel so great. so here is all the school pictures that i took on his first week of school.

A History In The Making

2009-07-08T01:35:00.000-07:00

today was michael jacksons memorial live on television. it was a beautiful service for the whole world to watch. michael was a icon like elvis and john lennon. michael was a great musician and dancer the whole world loved him. i remember listening to his music a lot when i was young. and listening to his sister janet jackson as well they had great music back then. the most emotional part of the service was when mariah carey, lionel richie, stevie wonder, usher, and jermaine jackson sang beautiful songs with such emotion for the king of pop and his family. the main thing that got me crying was when his daughter paris said that she loves her father so much and will miss him dearly. that was the first time that paris has spoken in public it was very moving hearing her talk about her father. any parent that has kids knows that emotion of losing a child or parent. i'm making a little collage of the king of pop for my kids in their scrapbook so they can see and hear that they were alive as children when a icon king of pop died just like when my parents were alive when another king of pop died elvis priestley. this passing of mj is a history in the making and one day my kids will want to know who was this king of pop star. it is a shock to america that michael passed cause this monday he was suppose to start his tour in london it was suppose to be his ultimate comeback and now it is no more. my heart goes out to the jackson family and specially out to his three kids. may his children have happiness and love in the years ahead for them.

Memorial Day!!

2009-05-25T05:13:00.000-07:00

today is the day to remember our loved ones that we have lost. today i remember my grandma josephine brummer, my grandpa joseph brummer and my grandpa jack clark. my grandparents were everything to me and i have so many memories of all of them. it was really hard when i lost my grandparents, i cried a lot when it happened. i took it really hard, i still remember all the times i had at the piano with my grandma and grandpa brummer singing with them and singing for them and everyone else. my grandma and grandpa had beautiful voices when they sang and they were both very good at playing the piano. we had great memories with that piano and i will never forget that. i miss them so much and think about them all the time.
in march 2007 my grandpa jack passed away from congestive heart failure, it was really hard for me to say goodbye to him. i still remember that day when i was in the room with all my family seeing my grandpa pass away in front of me. i have a hard time dealing with the death of my grandpa jack specially when i saw him pass away. i go to the cemetery a lot cause i live right next to it and i go to see him and talk to him and of course crying. my grandpa jack was a great person and a good grandpa to me. today i will remember all the great times that i got to share with my grandpa jack, and grandma and grandpa brummer. i miss them all so much and i'm so blessed to have had grandparents like them. i will never forget them and will love them forever.

today was a really nice day to spend outside. my kids had a really fun time playing outside today, mckenzie wasn't here though cause she was at a girl scouts sleepover so it was just jaden and spencer. we missed having her here but i'm pretty sure that shes having fun at her girl scouts sleepover. later in the evening after the kids came inside for the night, they had their bath cause they were dirty from playing in the dirt and then after the baths we watch bedtime stories it was a really great movie and very funny to, adam sandler was hilarious in it and it was probaly the best movie with adam sandler that we've seen in along time, so we highly recommend seeing this movie its a great family disney film. so we had a great day and daniel was able to get alot done on his truck that hes fixing so we can have it for camping and fishing and other fun outdoor stuff. so i say that with the warm weather that it was a nice and sunny day. i just hope that the weather stays nice cause i'm sick of the cold and gloomy weather that we have been having cause we can get so much done and the kids have a great time when the weather is nice. well i hope that everyone else had a good day and we will talk to you all later.

MY UPDATE

2009-03-03T00:50:00.000-08:00

so all the tests came back that i have gotten done so far and i have to get more tests done also. my heart is fine and showed no problems, and my eye tests came back showing that i have no more good sight in my right eye and more nerve damage so that is why i have to get more testing done. i have to get more blood work done, i have to see a eye specialist in boise when i get time to get down there to see if i need to have eye surgery. i also have to see my neurologist again cause of my eye and migraines and will have to get more testing done by him. so right now all their saying is i'am blind in my right eye and they still don't know whats causing it or if the sight will come back, so thats kinda scary to me. but i do have very good doctors and they are doing everything to fix the eye problem. daniel and i hope that they will be able to find out whats causing it and be able to fix it, but if they can't fix the problem they have already talked to me about all the possibilities and stuff that they use for partial blind patients and how partial blind people get around and what helps them so they don't get discouraged. they told me that partial or total blind people still have a normal life routine and that its just different cause we can't see out one eye or the other or all together, i'm just glad its not both eyes cause i can still see. i just hope they can fix this cause its frustrating, and very hard. but i'am okay and i have good doctors and i will let you all know if anything changes and when i hear more back from my other tests. so i love you all and talk to you all later.

PINEWOOD DERBY

2009-03-03T00:27:00.000-08:00

last night on monday jaden had his boy scout pinewood derby. we had a good time, jaden had a red car that was really fast. there was a green one that was really fast too but jaden did a great job. it was reallly neat to watch, this guy came in with a big silver chrome track just for the derby for the cars to race on to the finish line. there was also a clock to keep track of the miles the cars did and to keep track of the seconds. and anyone that beat the record high of the seconds won a car trophy but nobody beat the score, but every kid did get a award for their car and their participation in the derby. jaden did a really good job cause he won almost every race but the green car was a little bit faster than his but jaden did get second place and won a trophy like badge for his boy scout uniform for winning second place. it was so cool that he did get second place cause their was only three badges given out for the three winners, so jaden was really happy. i took a video of the whole thing so when i get the video together i will make a copy of it for everyone. then we did take a lot of pictures to so we will get these on our blog soon. mckenzie raced to last night but we had to leave before we watched her cause spencer is really sick and he was getting worse so we had to leave but she called us later when they got home and she was so happy cause she told me that she beat jaden in the race and she was bragging about it. we had a good time and soon you will be able to watch the race. love you all!!

so today my parents and sister came to pocatello and we had a good time. my dad and mom treated us out to dinner and then we went back to the hotel to go swimming and visit. my grandma norma came to dinner and the hotel and it was really nice to see her. also my grandmas birthday was friday so happy birthday grandma. the kids loved going swimming. jaden swam around the whole pool with help from his dad, and he did a great job. mckenzie and spencer just went in and out of the pool to the hottub and just goof off like they always do but they had fun with their aunt jamie in the pool. then after my mom gave them each some toys which was really kind of her and they played with their toys for awhile. then my dad and sister gave me, and my family a jazz basketball from the game last night, so that was really nice of them, and we can now go play ball with it and teach the kids. then we had to go which we hate doing cause we don't get to see my family a whole lot but it was nice seeing them and spending time with them and having a good time. so thank you mom and dad and sis for a great visit and will see you in april for the britney spears concert. love you all!

MY CONDITION

2009-02-22T23:21:00.000-08:00

so about a month ago i had to go and see my eye doctor cause i have been loosing a lot of vision in my right eye and i can barely see out of it. so i got the exam done and they found out that i have a blind spot in my right eye and nerve damage and they said that it will get worse if they can't find out the cause of it to fix it. i was given strong prescription glasses to wear at all times but not in bed. they help out a lot but its still really hard to see out of my eye and i have a lot of pressure and sensitivity in my eye so they have me taking a bunch of tests to find out whats wrong. so on this last wednesday i had a echocardiogram ultrasound to check my heart out and see if i have a blood clot, hole in my heart or a murmur. then i had a bunch of blood taken to. so its been really hard on me cause i have only one good eye and i'm scared cause i don't know whats going on and its not easy seeing out only one eye. but i have really good doctors that are taken good care of me and hopefully soon i will find out whats causing this and hopefully they can fix it. so i just wanted to keep you all updated on this problem and as soon as i find out more you will hear about it. love you all!

HOUSE HUNTING

2009-02-09T22:12:00.001-08:00

today me and daniel found some really good deals that work with our budget and living to buy a house. pocatello housing and HUD housing help low income families get into a big enough home that works with our income. all we have to do is sweat equity were we put in the work to build our house or fix up the house if its already bulit. daniel wants to build our house from the ground up but we have to see if we can qualify for that to happen but it does for a lot of low income families that don't have a lot. and whats nice is we already have a down payment they said cause we own the home we live in right now and thats helps us a lot. were still going through all the paper work and finding out what we have to do to get all this started the right way. for me and daniel its time to get into a better home with more room cause we have a 8 year old, 6 almost 7 year old, and a 4 almost 5 year old. so we need a lot more room for them and us. also daniel graduates college in may 2009 so we know were ready we just want to do this the right way. we have been living in a 2 bedroom trailer for 5 years and its getting to small and the place is falling apart. were really excited cause now were doing eveything we need to do to get into a home and we have found a couple of homes already and their nice, but we have to see if we can afford it. so for now were just doing everything you need to do to get into a new home, so wish us luck on getting into a new home, were going to need it. love you all!!

NO DISNEYLAND!!

2009-02-09T21:59:00.000-08:00

we found out that we won't be able to afford the trip this year. so we are going to continue on saving the money we need to go to disneyland. this trip is going to cost a lot of money that we don't have. and when the time does come we want to have the money to do everything there and have a great time and not worry about the money. so sorry we wrote about us going but we thought we were but now we don't have all that money. we didn't realize that it was going to be so much. were sad that we can't go but i know we will someday with all the family and have a great time.

MY SON SPENCER

2009-01-06T23:50:00.000-08:00

one of my news years resolutions was to do more with my 4 year old son. a lot of you don't know about my son spencer was diagnosed a couple of years ago with autism. now a couple of months ago he was diagnosed with the autism and with shizophrenia, and adhd. which has been really hard for me and daniel. spencer is so special to us and we just want to do more for him and provide him with the things he loves to do, and this year i'm doing that for him. my son has been into coloring, painting, drawing, and so much more but art work constantly. he already has the easel from my parents , and know we are going to get him a kid desk and more markers, paint, paper, brushes, coloring books, activity books, and so much more artist stuff. i want him to have the stuff that he enjoys and want to be part of this with him. i think its so great to see my son do artist work everyday and when he does it he like in his own world and nobody can disturb him, its so cute. he has pictures of what he colored all over the fridge and walls in his room. so tommorow we are going to give him these products so he can do what he enjoys and he will have more to do and enjoy. we are turning his room into a art room i know hes going to love it. i believe this will help him with his learning and to get him ready for kindergarten this year. so this is my resolution to my baby and i hope he loves it and i know this will help him with his disorders as well cause he will have more to do and concentrate on then what he does now so i'm very excited to do this for my son and it feels really good and i know and believe this is going to help him with a lot. i love my son so much and i'm very blessed to have him in my life. happy new year spencer!!!

My Christmas Memories

2008-12-13T01:52:00.000-08:00

i just wanted to share some of my memories i have when i was young during christmas time. i can still remember me, jeff, and jamie camping out on the floor in jeffs room christmas eve night cause we couldn't sleep so we played games and laughed and had a great time. we were so excited for christmas morning. i think every christmas eve we didn't sleep cause we were so excited but we had a great time camping out with each other. than every morning we tried to sneak down the stairs to see what santa brought, but our dad wouldn't let us go into the dining room until he got done video taping everything santa brought us, which was torture for us cause we wanted to go in there and see what we got, but after our dad got done taping, i remember always racing into the room to see what we got. i know we screamed a lot cause we got lots of awesome things every year. every christmas was really great. i remember how our gifts were seperated into their own piles for us, our santa gifts were un wrapped most of them and they were just sitting out with bows on them which i thought was cool, and then the gifts that santa wrapped to had really pretty wrapping paper on them with shiny ribbons and bows. i remember all of us un wrapping our gifts so fast that we had no more to un wrap, then we played with everything we got. we played games and listen to christmas music which was either the carpenters or alvin and the chipmunks. then after we played for awhile then my mom and dad made breakfast, and we had to eat or we couldn't have any of our christmas candy. i remember that we didn't get to open our stockings until after lunch time cause we did that as a family and it gave us something to look forward to after we had opened everything else. and i'll tell you now our stockings were filled with awesome things and fun things like mini games, candy, jewlry, balls, keychains, toppers, books, little wind up toys, slinky, toothbrush, makeup, money, and so much other cool stuff. even my mom and dad got cool stuff in their stockings, we loved opening the stockings every year. then later our family came over and gave us presents and we played games and showed them everything we got for christmas and visited with them and had a christmas dinner as a family, and then we all crashed cause we were so tired. we always had a great fun christmas every year. i'll never forget my christmas memories, our christmas was so magical and loving every year. i hope to carry those traditions with my family and make it magical and memorable like our parents did for us.

i wanted to thank my mother and father for giving us such a wonderful and magical christmas every year. i have a lot of christmas memories from when i was young, and i'll never forget what a wonderful christmas i had every year growing up. i know that i had tantrums on christmas day sometimes, but i wanted to tell you both that i appreciate everything you did for me and i did like everything i got and i'm sorry i didn't appreciate it then but i think every child is like that on christmas, my children act like that now, but you gave me everything i always wanted and thank you for always making it so special for all of us. i can't wait to do that for my children and give them memories of their christmas to cherish forever. so i just wanted to say that to you both cause i don't think you realize how special you made every christmas, so thank you. love you both very much and merry christmas, and hope to see you soon again!!

on friday morning me, daniel, and spencer woke up at 3am to go to jcpennys to get the free snow globes and we were able to get them but it was crazy there in utah, everybody that was waiting for the store to open was crazy. then after that store we went over to walmart and that was even crazier we couldn't get anywhere in the store everybody was pushing and yelling and blocking everyone from getting anywhere. when the countdown happened everyone mad dashed to the toys and stuff they were waiting for, it was scary so many people i'm surprised that nobody got hurt, but someone that was waiting for the tvs lost their tv someone bumped into him and his tv crashed to the ground he was very upset, and there was alot of mean people to i'm so glad that none of us got hurt. we were able to get one thing only there was too many people in there. then we went to target and i was able to get my camera i wanted for christmas from my parents so i was happy about that. then we were so tired that we went back to the hotel to sleep and rest until we had to get up to go meet my family. we had a busy shopping day that morning.
then that afternoon my parents came and picked us up to go to the boondocks to play games and celebrate jamie and jadens birthday. we had alot of fun, we all won alot of tickets and the kids were able to get nice prizes so we all had a great time. then after that my mom decided that we all go to thanksgiving point which was a really big display of lights and other christmas things. we all piled into my dads car and got to see all the pretty light displays as a family. they were awesome and pretty, the kids loved the lights and we have never seen anything like it before. we were all singing christmas songs and taking pictures and having a great time, we then went over to the christmas stores they had and the kids got to see real reindeer which was so cool, they thought it was prancer it was so cute, we got lots of pictures of that. we had a great time there i will never forget thanksgiving point and how much fun we had as a family. we also went and saw the temple lights and they were beautiful and the kids and daniel loved it. i took them into the visitors center and daniel loved the statue of jesus christ with all the clouds surrounding him. the kids saw the manger scene which wasn't on but they saw what it looked like, and they got to see how big a temple was and how beautiful it is from the outside, so we really enjoyed the temple.
then we went back to my parents house and jaden opened his birthday gifts that he got from grandma, grandpa, and aunt jamie. he got a remote control car with a airplane on it, he got a pokemon r/c car, a sorry game, and some money from us. he had a good birthday then we sang and had cupcakes that jamie made. then we went back to go to bed, we had a great time.
mom, dad, and jamie i just wanted to say that we had a great time and we will never forget this holiday and how much fun we had, thank you for everything, and we hope to see you soon again. we love you and happy holidays. so this is what we did and more this thanksgiving week with my family and we hope to do it again soon. talk to you all later, and i will post pictures soon.

I love my husband so much and im glad i have him in my life, i have alot of medical problems and he is always there for me, to let me rest, help to the doctors, and is loving and caring. Daniel and i were married on October 27, 2003. We are happy and in love and have a beautiful family. We have three amazing children and they are a big help. Alot of people don't know but we were married on march 3 2001 first, but we had problems and got divorced. Then we ended up getting married again in october, and our marriage has been a blessing since then. i'm happy, and so is daniel, and i'm happy to spend this day with him and my family.

CARVING PUMPKINS!!

2008-10-24T23:58:00.000-07:00

We had fun tonight we all carved one pumpkin. we had cool designs to pick from, thats how we do it every year. daniel did the grim reeper, jaden did a moon with stars, mckenzie did a black cat, spencer did a alien guy, and i did a haunted house. it takes awhile to carve pumpkins but in the end they all turned out great. the pumpkins were kinda green still cause we grew them this year in glendas garden but they look good. so we wanted to share the pictures with you so you can see what we did. I have more pictures but these are the ones i have right now. so enjoy and hope you like the pictures, cause the kids had a blast. talk to you all later, chow!!

Tonight my mother and sister treated us to outer limits to play games and win prizes. the kids love this place, cause they get to win tickets and then turn them in for prizes. so each of the kids got tokens and went to play games. my mother and i played this balloon game where after you put the token in you have a stop button to push and it has to land on add air to blow the balloon up more, and so every time we put a token in we both landed on the add air so it kept blowing the balloon up and it would go up to more tickets to, so we kept adding air and finally it hit to 356 tickets and the last add air the balloon was suppose to pop cause it said winner, well it didn't pop, then when were weren't expecting it to it did and it was loud, my mom and i screamed and laughed, cause it caught us by surprise, and we were happy cause we won more than 356 tickets. it was really cool to have that moment with my mom cause i don't get that time like that with her anymore, so it was awesome. the kids had a blast playing all types of games, and they all won big to on different games, so the kids got alot of tickets and were able to get a prize. we all had fun tonight and it was fun to see my mom and sister, since i don't get to see them often anymore. we can't wait to do it again sometime.

Last night my mother and sister came to pocatello to visit with us. my mom and sister gave spencer a bag with some toys in it to play with. it was so funny, he pulls out a whoopie cushion that was in the bag, and was really excited to have one. he blew it up and put on the ground and sat on it, you should of heard him laugh, it was so funny, he couldn't stop sitting on it, he just kept on laughing and couldn't stop. he really likes his whoopie cushion. when we got home he got into his bed and started to play with it and he was having a blast with it, he was laughing so hard that he got me and daniel to laugh really hard, we had a good laugh last night. we finally were able to get it away from him for the night so he would go to sleep, but i had to share this with everyone cause it was really cute and funny of how he was acting. i have never seen my son laugh so much, it was a priceless moment last night.
