Odyssey

2010-07-29T16:04:00.000-06:00

So ive been feeling a mix of emotions the past few weeks.

I have a loss of a friend

a very good friend.

Shes a beautiful,

bright,

love able,

young woman.......

ive lost her,

but for her sake for the better

you know the saying if you love something let it go???

well

this is a girl i love

and

im letting her go.

she hasnt past away,

but in my world she might just as well be.

see its better for her to forget

and

let go of all her past in order for her to move on.

i hate it,

i hate knowing that i wont be a part of her life anymore

but

i know it will only make her that much of a stronger

and better person

for her

and

her boys.

and im willing to let her go and be that great person she can be.

We hit up Lagoon this weekend and had a blast even though it was raining.

Troy and my attempt at a self portrait

almost

getting so close

got it

The boys hit up the games they wanted to win mom a prize

Seriously they won so many prizes and they were so exstatic, i didnt get a picture with all the winnings though, next time.

Ty likes very few rides and Tilt-O-Whirl happens to be one of the few.

Jeremy hiding one of our prizes in his shirt so we could all ride together

Ty's first roller coaster "The Wild Mouse"

So not ready for the picture

much better

Since it rained we get to go back for ten dollars plus tax before the end of the month. So we are excited. Hopefully we pick a nicer day.

Front-Runner

2010-06-03T12:35:00.000-06:00

So the past week troy had a field trip and i of course tagged along.

The agenda:

walk to the trax

get on the trax

ride it downtown

get off the trax

get back on the trax to go to the University

get up to the University

walk around and get information about the olympic games

get back on the trax

get off at the front runner stop

get on the front runner

get off the front runner at the last stop

get back on the front runner

get off the front runner to transfer trax trains

get on the trax

get off the trax

go to the gateway

play in the fountains

get back on the trax

get off at our stop

walk back to school

ok this was a very tiring field trip. my feet hurt from all the running around that we did, totally exercise for the day me and troy were so ready for a nap.

To top this field trip off. i almost lost a kid, yes i did. i cant believe this happened. well technically i wouldnt have lost him cause i knew where he was headed. anyway. I had 3 kids in my group

(i know only 3 how could something like this happen???????????)

Jasper, my son and Megan. We were all very tired and decided to hop on the trax train that didnt have allot of our school on it, (for peace and quiet) so we and one other group were on our own train. we wre all relaxing enjoying the ride home, eating our left over lunch and just chilling. Our stop was comming up i told the 3 kids to get ready and put their stuff up cause our stop was next. so they wer closing their back packs and getting ready to exit. the other group got off me and troy were getting off and i turned and said lets go guys hurry we have to get off. Megan comes running out so i say again to Jasper come on hurry. what do you know the door shuts. Jaspers standing there looking at me and im pushing the button on the outside of the trax door to open and it wont open................. so i yelled through the door to Jasper push the button on the hand rail.............he just looked at me, i was thinking he couldnt hear me cause he wasnt doing anything , so i yelled louder. One of the other moms with our fieldtrip was getting off her train and she came over to me and said oh no is a kid still on there?? i said um yeah, so she was frantically waving for the trax guy to see her so he wouldnt leave. im still yelling Jasper push the button, and im frantically pushing the outside button but nothing the door wouldnt open........ finally the door opens i think someone got the trax guys attention and he opened it. Out comes Jasper relieved and so was i. He said the door wouldnt open when he pushed the button, and that some guy was helping him but the door still wouldnt open. Geez Louise. Im glad so happy he got out. That is one of the reasons i go on the field trips with my kids, im afraid they will get left or lost or stolen yikes.

I have been on field trip where a little girl got left we had to turn around and go back and get her. um hello scary.........

2010-06-02T11:05:00.000-06:00

Tomorrow is the last day of school, agh what am i going to do??????

im looking into summer camps and other family members to help out while they enoy the sleep in days that i long for.

Memorial Weekend

2010-06-01T11:12:00.001-06:00

Doesnt even seem like we had 3 days of weekend.

First it started with a graduation,

my sister graduated form massage therapy school

then a graduation party.

that was all on friday.

saturday we had a wedding to go to.

I swear with Jeremys family and friends and my family and friends we are always doing something.

(not that many pictures to post way to occupied)

11 yr. Check Up

2010-05-28T13:52:00.001-06:00

So this past week troy had to get his 11 yr old checkup and that included shots, 3 of them to be exact.

i didnt tell him on purpose cause i didnt want him to worry. So when i picked up the boys form school they were both surprised.

Troy is in the 111th percentile, and looking back on all his visits hes always been in the 99th percentile so a little bit of a change. He is 6' 6 3/4" and weighs 140. big i know hes only 11. crazy. The doctor said he may stop growing when hes 14 cause he hit his spurt so early that it may just stop early. Only time will tell though. No matter how old or big my troy boy gets hes still my little baby, i know all moms say that but youll see when your little guy gets to be big nothing really changes hes still your little baby.

He was a trooper with the shots a bit surprised when the doctor told him he was getting immunizations, hes like mom what are immunizations?????

He found out soon what they were.

He did such a good job i had to take him to get a snowie

The first one of the year

i didnt even bother to ask if troy would get a fever or any of the other symptoms like when kids are younger from his shots. I thought since hes older he will be fine that doesnt apply to him right?????

wrong.........................

my poor baby took a nap when we got home.

this melted my heart. my little baby in a big boys body.

A loss

2010-02-08T13:53:00.001-07:00

seems as i get older the more heartache.

I guess cause i am getting older im experiencing life more, death, which is apart of life. Since i have been the great young age of 29 i have known of 3 people passing, i have been to 2 of the viewings and the 3rd one i will be attending this week. It saddens me to see such yong people pass, they have so much more life ahead of them.

This friend who just past this friday was a new friend who i met through my sons baseball, we ended up hanging out a few times and everyone got along perfectly. Yes i have only known him for a short time (almost a year) but he made such an impact he and his family were great people, always invinting us to get together. they have such good hearts. Ernesto was friendly and got along with everyone. I think what breaks my heart most is that he and his wife wanted to have another baby. The son he left behind Ashtyn was his twin. I know Ernesto will be missed badly. I just wish the best for his family. and pray for them.

This year is the first year out of my adult life so far that i have not drank for New Years. Usually im the one at the liquor store in the long line waiting to get my New Years wine.

This year we spent it at my moms house eating and watching tv.

This is troy getting ready for the ball to drop,

and ty getting himself ready

tristin doing what he loves to do "eat"

this was his position all night long in front of the food.

and poor lola hiding under the table

she was scared of the noise makers

The next day we went sledding, but dont worry i didnt go this year due to my injuries from last year i was kind of scared.

This year once again brings traveling for me and the boys. We are excited for our new destinations.

Safety First

Tonight

2009-10-16T23:01:00.002-06:00

So almost same thing tonight.

Troy went to sleep over at his friends house right after his tailgating football thingy tonight and right before ten he called and asked if i could bring him some sleep clothes over, (this was an unexpected sleepover so he took nothing, really im not that bad of a mom) i said sure. I arrived he came out and once he received the items he said mom one more thing,

HE GAVE ME ANOTHER GREAT BIG HUG AND KISS.

Geez i love this kid

This Morning

2009-10-16T22:26:00.003-06:00

This morning was one i wont forget.

I have the privilege to take my boys to school and pick them up from school every school day. (thanks to my boss) So when i rolled into work close to 9 this morning i wasnt expecting to get a call from my boys school first thing. I answered and of course it was one of the boys, troy. He said that he had forgotten his homework on the fridge and needed it today because today was the last day he could turn it in. I hesitated to respond to him just because of the simple fact that i had just gotten to work. I said troy i just got to work im not sure if im able to leave right now. he said mom i need it, today is the last day that we are able to turn it in, this is the last time we are going to have current events. I kind of felt bad, but didnt know if i should leave right when i just got to work, it just doesnt look good ya know?? so i said well ill think about it. he said maybe i could bring it on my lunch break, i said i cant because i take my lunch break the time you get out of school and if i go now i wont be able to pick you guys up after school. he said well sorry mom i need it and i dont know what to do. so again i said ill think about it.

So of course i end up leaving work (i only live like 10 minutes away from work) and going home to get his homework and take it to him.(the school is on 4th east and we live on 10th east so not too far) even though i was hesitant thinking he should just get a zero cause it is his fault he forgot it and that is teaching him a lesson right??

So i get to his classroom and he comes out to greet me, he grabs my shoulders and says mom come here, he is walking me backwards out into the hallway, im thinking ok why so serious. He then puts his arms around me and gives me a big hug and kiss and says thank you mom for getting my homework for me, im sorry i made you leave work.

TALK ABOUT WORTH IT.

that simple little favor i did for my son was so worth it and the nice considerate gesture he made is something ill never forget, i left almost in tears but pulled myself together. Hes in fifth grade and i keep thinking there is going to be one day when he is too cool to hug me and im so dreading that day. For now ill take any hug any kiss any where any time from my baby.

LOVE YOU TROY

2009-10-13T21:07:00.005-06:00

I went to the Brian Adams concert on a sunday night

at the Kinsbury Hall with my mom.

It was the best ever, he sang acoustic and it was so intense and romantic.

I loved every second of it.

I dont get out to many concerts but the few i have been to have been great i never want them to end. I knew so many more songs than i thought i knew from Brian Adams, honestly there were like 3 or 4 songs i didnt know and he sang many many songs. If you like Brain Adams and hes in town i highly recommend him, i know ill go again.

Football

2009-09-24T12:38:00.002-06:00

I dont know if i mentioned that much about the boys football. Well i ended up signing up ty too. So they are both playing football this year. Troy made it on the Pee-Wees "A" team yeah and Ty made it on the Gremlins "A" team double yeah. They both play at the same times on the same days against the same teams so im at least able to be at both their games which is good and to my luck the fields they play on are side by side. yeah for me.

Injury

2009-09-24T12:29:00.005-06:00

My babys first football injury, agh, my poor baby.

I think i felt his hurt when he showed me this. Ty is a great football player and so is troy. Ty loves to be all over the field where the action is, thats where he wants to be. So hes happy playing any position. Recently they moved him to quarter back so with this position came a bad tackle. ugh my poor baby.

It looks allot worse in person

I arrived back home monday afternoon. Boy did i have a great time. I sure do miss hanging out with the family all the time. It was great to see lots of relatives i havent seen in forever and meet the new additions to the family. Boy time does fly, years go by soo fast, seems like no one should be as old as they are. Where has time gone??? im going to make it a very big priority to visit at least once a year.

Some choices that you make in life are the hardest.

Some you dont want to make but you know in the end its the best thing.

I was dealt with one of those choices.

and i think i made the right choice even though its hard and hurts.

times when i think did i do the right thing, i look at the whole all around picture and i know i did.

Cancer (6/22-7/22)
You've often wondered about what might happen to the ones you love if you decided to stop taking care of them. Would they sink, swim or find someone else to care for them -- in which case, you'd never be able to live with the guilt. Regardless, it's just about time for you to do both yourself and your charge a favor. Give them a few referral numbers and a pep talk, make your exit and see what happens.

Judia's Wedding

2009-08-17T15:41:00.003-06:00

So chris headed off to Washington on wednesday for his sister Judias wedding which was saturday. I really wanted to make it but decided it would be better if i stay due to the boys sports they have going on and the fact that shcool starts soon and theres allot of money to be spending on that stuff. So chris made the adventure on his own. From what i hear it was beautiful, i cant wait to see photos i will def. post some once i get them.

Football

2009-07-22T12:50:00.010-06:00

I signed my baby up for football, yes i did it. i still cant believe that my little boy is getting bigger and bigger every year. its still weird. i look at him and see my baby, the one i brought home from the hospital just the other day, so it seems. i remember him almost to the tee. He has grown so fast but hes still my baby.

This was the first year that we signed up for tackle football so we were new at this, getting sized for pants, getting shoulder pads and me trying to figure out where eveything goes and how it goes. We had a difficult time just trying on the jersey over the shoulder pads, all troy and i could do is laugh, while he was stuck with his arms in the air. You could tell by the look on his face that he is totally psyched for football to start.

I informed troy that i had no idea how to put on his gear,

that i wasnt going to be that big of help.

He said thats ok mom.

So next best thing grandpa

grandpa knew where everything went. Of course, hes played football his whole life even got a college scholarship he was so good, we have newspaper clippings framed at my parents house of my dad. The boys call it grandpas hall of fame.

Ty and Tristin were also excited to see all troys football stuff, they just had to try the pads on

Grandpa showed troy and I how and where everything goes,

so hopefully we will do ok with getting the gear on ourselves.

Just to note:

July 21, 2009 Troy Anthony Brinar Jr. weighs 130 lbs.

at ten years old,

we think hes 5'3" thats what our measuring tape at home says but it also said that im 5'6" and im really 5' 7 1/2".

Troy with his gear on ready to go.

Birthday Celebration

2009-07-13T15:14:00.018-06:00

So, not only is my birthday super duper special,

but its celebrated allot through out the week.

I first had the celebration in Washington with chris's family, Then on my real birthday chris made me homemade lasagna

and had a banana split ice cream cake for me mmmmm.....

along with a gift card from BUCKLE

and a shelve piece to my living room that i am re-doing.

such a special girl i am.

And on sunday my family celebrated my birthday as well.

My mom was anxiously awaiting to celebrate, she had the cutest little decorations awaiting.

As troy says very creative grandma.

We have always had a little fireworks show on the day of my birthday since its so close to the 4th, a little birthday tradition.

I just love fireworks. we start off with the smaller ones than have our own grand finale with the bigger ones.

i love this tradition. i had a great birthday week this year. thanks to all of you.

Did i forget????

2009-07-07T14:22:00.015-06:00

To let you know that we were going to Washington to visit chris's family???????
Im pretty sure i forgot to share the vacation post.
anyways we got back sunday night really late, so i should say monday morning my birthday at 2:00 a.m.
I wasnt happy, our plane got delayed a few hours due to weather in denver (thats where our plane was coming from) so we sat in the airport for like four hours. blah we were exhausted from our trip we were tired and grumpy.
We did however have a great time there. The boys and i were excited to meet chris's immediate family, weve heard so much about them it was finally time to meet them. I loved everyone of them. and honestly i miss them. It seemed like too short of a trip. i wish we had them around all the time. i didnt take enough pictures (139) thats how it seems. Im glad his sister did im planning on having those also. We went site seeing the whole time we were there. Below are a few pictures to show our adventures. The pictures really dont do any of it justice way more exciting and pretty in person.

1/2 Lagoon Day

Flowers?Why?1Yr baby

2009-06-18T13:24:00.004-06:00

The beautiful flowers i received at work

On the 16th of June was the official 1yr mark. yes jot it down,

1yr mark for me and Chris. yikes,aghh,

sometimes it feels like ive been with him for a very long period of time in my life, when i think of one year i think thats all?????

Then i start to think wow i made it this far?

I get hesitant at times but he seems to ride it out. Now we have hit the big step in our relationship which is living together. and so far its been ok, we are really just trying to feel eachother out and see how eachother still works.

One of the biggest things i love about my relationship, is that we have a trust in eachother, we dont have to know where the other person is all day long or what they are doing, its just a trust in knowing that we will end up in bed at the end of the night together. its such a peaceful feeling. Ive been in situations where it wasnt like this at all so this is a very big deal to me and i love it.

One year down.......

Closing Ceremonies

2009-06-12T14:05:00.005-06:00

Tonight was closing ceremonies.

Ty with his team one last time

"The Angels"

(they all didnt show up)

They had a dinner and officially announced the ALL STAR TEAM.

Ty got another trophy personalized for the ALL STARS.

Practice starts soon and its going to be a change from his peewee team. Tournaments and traveling, how fun.....

Swimming Lessons

2009-06-12T13:56:00.008-06:00

Today was the end of the first half of swimming lessons for the boys.

I signed them up for lesson 1 (they have never had swimming lessons before) to my surprise the teacher said they were too advanced and were moved to level 2, to my surprise again the level 2 teacher said they were too advanced and moved them to level 3. Here they stayed and accomplished level 3.

well troy did, the teacher said tyan was to advanced for level 2 but still needed work on level 3. So this next two weeks tyan will be in level 3 and troy will be in level 4.

As a reward for them completing the class the teacher let them go down the big yellow slide. tyan was a little worried at first, but got over it the second he went down. and they loved it.

What Fight News?!?!?

2009-06-04T15:18:00.009-06:00

Geez what a bad girlfriend i am,

i didnt post anything about chris's fight this past saturday.

well folks HE WON. yea what a great victory.

It ended up not being for the state belt because chris's opponent didnt weigh in right he was over by too much. poopy huh? oh well maybe next time.

I had the pleasure of filming this fight, well actually i had to, it really wasnt my pleasure i was so nervous, i wanted it to turn out perfect. It was a little rough but hey it was my first time so next time it will be just like a pro filming it.

Chris won by knocking him out within the first two minutes and a few seconds yea babe.

A few pictures of Chris after the fight

IMPRESSIVE

2009-06-03T09:13:00.001-06:00

So last night at Tyans Baseball game his coach confirmed that tyan was on the ALLSTARS team he said that all 7 coaches wanted him to be on the ALLSTARS "A" team. He said he was impressed at how they all wanted him right away he was the first pick.

I CANT BELIEVE THIS, THIS IS SO EXITING FOR ME,

i cant imagine how tyan is going to feel when he finds out. i was told not to tell him because it was going to be announced at closing ceremonies. keeping this secret is going to be sooo hard because of how excited i am.

YEA FOR TYAN!!!!!!!!!

ALL STARS

2009-05-29T20:53:00.005-06:00

oh my goodness i just found that ty was picked to be on the ALL STARS team. yeah i couldnt be more happier at this moment for him and i am so proud of him. He doesnt find out til later when the closing ceremonies takes place. But i happen to know one of the coaches and he told me in confidence. yippiiiiieeee i am sooo happy for him, and so excited. hes been wanting this so bad.

In case you dont know cause i didnt, the head coaches pick the best two kids from every team and decide which ones make it to all stars, so not every kid gets it only the best ones. ive already had two coaches approach me about ty for next year, one of them came to me two games ago and said tys one of the better players and if he would have played last year ty would have been on his team this year, so hes looking out for him next year to be on his team, hes also the one who told me about all stars, well how it works. Then tonight a coach came up to me and said he wants ty on his team next year, everyone seems to know his name and i guess theyve been watching him throughout the series.

wow is all i gotta say my son really is good, i thought it was just me being his mom and thinking that hes good, but obviously if everyone keeps coming up to me and asking about him and saying how good he is it must not be me who just thinks it. yeah

2009-05-22T10:11:00.004-06:00

One of my favorite places to eat is The Melting Pot. I talk about it all the time. One sunday while the boys and i were downtown i decided i would share the experience with them.

Blogging

2009-05-18T15:15:00.002-06:00

Geez i havent blogged for a really long time now.

honestly im not sure what to blog about.

allot has happened and theres allot to update on but im not sure what to start with.

Easter was great, Mothers day was great, hmm have i missed any?????

this weekend we went to the pool, i just love laying out and soaking up the sun, although the pool was freezing cold they dont have a heater obviously, it was fun. cant wait for this weekend to do the same thing.

In a nutshell i think thats all thats happened.

Babysitting Weekend.....

2009-04-27T12:22:00.008-06:00

Geez im not really cut out for babysitting anymore. i love my nephews, but theres certain ages i would like to skip. like the one where every thing ends in a "WHY?" ugh, or the one where they cant quite talk yet so everything is uh, or ma, ugh. My two little nephews Craig and Adrian spent the weekend with me and my boys. usually i pick them up and take them to grandmas house, that wasnt the case this weekend.

I had to go grocery shopping because i simply had no food for four boys, i was going to go anyways but plans changed and i picked up the boys before i had a chance to. So i figured i would attempt it on saturday, i took craig and ty with me and left troy home with adrian he was getting sleepy so i figured he would fall asleep shortly after we left. I was right, when i got home troy said adrian feel asleep as soon as we left.

i put up the groceries got the boys something to eat, then went to check on adrian.

This is what i found.............

i freaked. i called his mom and apologized for the little blue boy, she laughed and asked me to take pictures.

He did not want to what so ever wash it off. he woke up grumpy so unfortunately he stayed blue all saturday,

on sunday when i gave him a bath and tried to wash it off, it wouldnt come off all the way. So when i took him home he was light blue.

oh and another adventure with my nephews this weekend, (well i shouldnt say nephews it really was just adrian the younger one) on friday i had three bananas in my fruit bowl on the kitchen table and friday night they were all gone, none of the talking boys ate them, i asked.

On saturday i bought more, four of them and put them in the bowl again, and later saturday we had three the talking boys said they didnt eat any, i looked in the garbage and found the peels in there, very mysterious, looking a little closer at my couch, i found evidence, and it was a little boy adrian to be exact. there was smooshed banana on the arm of the couch. eeewwwwww. FYI my house is not baby proof cause my boys are so much older so everytime a little one comes over to my house it turns into a disaster and the little ones just love all my easy to reach objects.

F.Y.I.

2009-04-22T21:52:00.003-06:00

Chris's next fight is on Showtime this saturday April 25.

2009-04-16T09:22:00.005-06:00

i sure did. YAHOOOOOOOOO

i cant wait to read it. i am so tempted to stop the book i just started on monday

and start this one. im trying to be fair and finish the one ive already started but i find myself reading pages of this one. uuuggghhhhhhhh, so tempting.

i received from the Easter Bunny, and was so excited.

I then heard about Mommywood coming out and again was so excited and wanted to get it. i went to the store on tuesday the day it came out and just looked at it. didnt purchase cause i didnt want to get to ahead of myself, two books at once yikes. so i went home and thought about it. i wanted to get Stories from Candyland completed so i could get Mommywood next.

Well what do you know yesterday Chris dropped by and handed me a Barnes & Noble bag, he said i was at the book store and came across this.

YES, IT WAS MY BOOK YEA.......................

he is so thoughtful. im soooooooo happy i have all three books.

so needless to say i will be busy for the next few weeks.

The Game

2009-04-08T10:36:00.008-06:00

Oh My Goodness, Ty was the BOMB last night.

He did so well, he was the first one to hit the ball and the first one to hit the ball on the first pitch.

He also got two people out, one by throwing the ball to first base, and one by running and tagging the guy at first base. He also made it to third base by stealing the last two basses but unfortunately never made it home. He pitched for two innings and struck out the boys the first round, he was so good.

people were cheering him on it felt so good. He loved every minute of it. He cant wait to play again. The other team scored two points the first part of the game and then tys team scored two points during the last part of the game, and then on the last inning the other team scored one more point and they won. Ty wasnt really concerned about the score he just had so much fun playing. His next game will be next tuesday.

The Bracket

2009-04-07T10:27:00.003-06:00

YIPPPPIIIIIEEEEEEEE,

TROY WON,

HE PICKED NORTH CAROLINA TO WIN IT ALL

AND THEY SURE DID.

My work does a college bracket every year and this year the boys wanted to enter. Troy took second place and is soooooooooooo excited,

i think im more excited for him.

yeah

TEN

2009-04-07T10:17:00.012-06:00

Troy turned TEN on sunday. time flies.

to note his hands are the exact same size as mine.

crazy huh. my little baby is turning into a little man right before my eyes.

Things im learning as a single mom raising two boys. wow. Theres so much i didnt know and probably wouldnt if i wasnt in this situation.

Its fun, interesting , and i have lots of questions. lol

We had a family party at my moms house. i bought a pinata, made a cake, and the best thing i got to do was stay up till midnight to hit the store to grab the new nintendo DSI. Troy has been wanting a nintendo DS and a few weeks ago i found out that they were coming out with a new one and it would be coming out sunday, the day of his birthday. They would be officially available to buy at 12:01 on sunday, so i stayed up, rushed to the store and was able to grab one, good thing i know the lady at walmart pretty well. (shes our old neighbor and tyan still plays with her son)

When troy opened the present he first thought it was a nintendo ds but looked at the box and said this isnt a nintendo ds, he looked a little closer and figured out it was the new nintendi DSI, he jumped for joy. He also got a radio alarm clock to put his ipod on which has a remote, so now he sets the alarm and is bumping his music early in the morning. I really cant believe how time has flown, i know everyone says it, but it is soooo true. I also cant believe that my little boy is almost as big as me. Now that is scary. i cant even imagine hugging my baby when he is taller than me, i cannot imagine him being bigger than me at all. i love him soooo much, more than anything. i cannot imagine life without him, he truly makes my life complete.
LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING MY TROY BOY.....

Baseball

2009-04-07T10:14:00.005-06:00

So tys first baseball game is today, he is so nervous. We got his uniform last night and he looks so cute in it.

his little skinny body in those tight baseball pants too cute, hes so excited about baseball he had me take pictures of him and send them to his friends, he even wore his uniform to school today. too cute.

Imagine That

2009-03-26T23:39:00.004-06:00

We all know life throws you curve balls.

I believe they are thrown at the right time in life.

I havnt really been in the blogging mood lately ive had allot on my mind.

Sometimes women can over think the littlest things in life.

The old saying is so true. "What goes around comes around"

I cant say ive loved every event thats happend in my life,

but one thing i do love is that ive learned from it all.

Everything has come in my life to only make me a stronger person and the person i am today.

This is a thank you to all MY trails ive faced,

i didnt know it at the time but they bettered me a whole lot.

This is to never giving up and having the strength and confidence to know everythings going to be ok, that everything works out the way it is supposed to .

Disneyland

2009-03-25T10:48:00.012-06:00

Its been a little bit since we have been back in town from our trip to Disneyland. We had such a good time, we all really want to go back so badly. I did great on spending, didnt go overboard at all. The boys were a little nervous getting on the plane, but that went away shortly. I couldnt find a straight through flight so we had a layover in phoenix on the way there. The boys did great on the plane.

We arrived in L.A. around noon took the shuttle to our hotel, it was a cute little hotel reminded me of a cottage. The weather was relaxing in the mid 60's, the boys saw the pool and decided that they wanted to go swimming first thing. i told them it would be too cold but they didnt care.

They jumped right in, they were so cold they decided that they didnt want to swim the remainder of the trip.
Our hotel was closer than we expected, not even two blocks from Disneyland and on the way were places to eat, yea. The boys got dressed and we headed out. Stopped at McDonalds on the way there to grab a bite. We were so excited and anxious.

We got in and first thing we saw was Mickey Mouse.

Then Minnie came around the corner and grab Troys hand and took off with him, he was laughing and just looked back at me,

i said picture but she kept on going, i was wondering where she was taking my son. Me and ty then started following them cause they were going off, she turned around and wanted a picture with just troy. so i took it

and then both the boys got one.

Ty wanted me to take pictures of everything so i did. So theres allot i wont share. and im not in very many, out of 103 pictures im in 4.

The boys got many pictures with characters and thought it was the coolest thing. Both the boys loved all the rides. The lines were not long at all most the rides we walked right on. the longest wait was a 15 minute wait and that was for the Autopia cars. The Indiana Jones ride was also a 10 minute wait. I highly recommend this time of the year we made it on some rides 4 times. We got to do everything we wanted and more and it was great.

The City

2009-03-24T21:18:00.003-06:00

Did anyone watch the last episode of The City??????

oh my goodness, props to Whitney,

i found myself with a big smile on my face and saying good girl.

I am so glad she did not get back with Jay when his sorry ass came crawling back.

Too Little Too Late thats right.

Go Whitney, just had to give a shout out to her. more girls need to look at her as an example. Too many girls go back to the boyfriends that treat them or have treated them like dirt or have taken them for granted.

She just shows that you can be strong, and you should know when to move on.

Sometimes the hardest things to do in life are the best.

Baseball

2009-03-07T17:49:00.007-07:00

This morning Ty had baseball try outs. He did amazing, yes i am bragging. He is such a good sports boy. He is so naturally talented when it comes to sports i lucked out.

He was nervous and i thought he might of messed up a little due to how nervous he was, but i was wrong he did excellent. He partnered up and they played catch for a minute, then they had four chances to get a ground ball and pass it to first base,

then they had four chances to hit the ball.

and if you didnt get a hit in or a catch with in those four tries then that was it. Well Ty didnt miss anything he got all four ground balls and threw them straight to first base, and he hit all four balls.

He was so proud of himself for not messing up. And i was very proud of how good of a job he did. We get a call on wednesday to find out what team he made it on. im sure it will be one of the better ones.

2009-03-06T09:11:00.002-07:00

AND MONDAY WERE OFF...................

WE ARE ALL EXCITED NOW, YEAH...

Geez

2009-03-05T15:58:00.005-07:00

I went home today for lunch like i usually do, and right as i stepped into the kitchen on my table were three beautiful tulips, pink i might add. with a card and my favorite candy. Chris snuck this in my house and i was super surprised. the card was sweet and just showed how great of a guy he really is.

THANKS BABE

So i got our pictures uploaded from our trip.
We didnt take allot, and how chris says looks like we didnt do anything.
Well we did we had a good time, one thing that was so great was that we were on no type of schedule what so ever.

and yes we did drink the whole time thank you very much.
We started on the flight there and ended right before we jumped on the place back home. Love FAT TUESDAYS. that was our spot. Enjoy some pictures from our trip.

We Did Make It

So we are back from our VEGAS trip, and boy was it nice. Our room was great, the hotel was great, the weather was great, everything seemed to be great

but my feet.

So the night before as i was packing i realized that i only needed to use one bag instead of my usual two, i was excited, so i moved everything over to the one bag (well i thought everything) i text chris and told him i only needed one bag thats how excited i was.

So the next day comes which is the day we are leaving, i get off work early get home and make sure my bag is ready to go, i throw in a light jacket and decide that i need to take my pants that are on the back of the door drying, they were still wet from the earlier wash that day and i figured they can finish drying in my bag and then i can lay them out in the hotel.

As im leaving the house i run back in to grab some shades and then proceed to take off to get my sister (who was going to be taking us to the airport) she lives in west jordan i live in midvale, not too far right?!, as im at a stop light going towards her house i start thinking to myself wow i still cant believe i only needed one bag i fit everything in one bag even my jeans i threw in at the last minute, ha, then it dawns on me i forgot them on the back of the door, oh crap i gotta make a u-turn and grab them i really wanted to sport them in vegas, shoot. so i u turn it. grab them, and then finally head on my way. By this time my sister and chris are texting me " have you left yet?"

I get close to chris's house (luckily he lives downtown) and tell him we are running way behind, i lie and tell him we havent even left west jordan, he calmly says well the next flight takes off at 5:20, when i arrived at his house 2 minutes later he just chuckled. We arrive at the airport with 5 minutes till our plane took off and luckily enough we made it, when we got to the gate they were announcing chris's name on the intercom saying we need to hurry up. When we got on the plane the flight attendants were already talking to the passengers we made it on by a hair, haha, hey at least we made it.

The trip is great and when we arrive in Vegas we are waiting for our luggage and what do you know its not there, since we were late check in our luggage wouldnt be arriving til the next flight. So we ate and then got our bags, then went to the hotel room. i couldnt wait to get my other shoes on so i could get out of my heels my feet were starting to hurt a little. I open my bag, and lo and behold cant find my other shoes, duh, i left them in the other bag in a compartment and forgot to switch them over, ugh. just my luck. This was bad, at this point i think my feet started hurting more,lol. So i told chris that we needed to go find some flip flops or something, so we head out on the strip,

yes im still in my heels, oowww. We couldnt find anything, well actually i found these flip flops that were a size 9-11 that i was going to buy, but didnt. Later we went back to the room (by this time my feet were done) and decided that we were hungry again we wanted to go get something to eat, i ended up wearing chris's shoes, big white tennie shoes, how cute. The next morning he went and got me some flip flops. what a great guy. well later that day not even that much later my foot felt weird i checked it and noticed that the flip flops gave me a big ol blister on my foot, thank goodness for the ROSS on the strip, heaven sent, i went in and bought some tennie shoes, and socks and everything was better. my feet still hurt a little cause of all the walking and the horrible heels the night before. Later that night when we were going to go to the Luxor (to see my boyfriend Chris Angel) i decided i wanted to brave it out and wear the other heels i brought, i couldnt wear tennie shoes with my outfit it just didnt go, so i toughed it out and put the cute heels on. My poor feet were swollen and still are i have to wear flats till the swelling goes away. We had no problems on the way home with the flights, we made it on time and our luggage did too.
