Happy 24th of July

This is what happens when you get a bunch of single moms together on a holiday. We decided to have a bbq and watch fireworks with 3d glasses on. It was a blast. The girl holding the baby really isn't a single mom, her husband was at work so she got to join us for a fun girls night in. We ended up watching Coraline(Tim burtons creepy movie) and talking until three in the morning. I can't remember the last time I got to be a kid and giggle and laugh so much.

Two posts in one

I had lunch with some of my childhood friends today it was fun. We took our kids to a park and had sac lunches (ok two had sac lunches two had mcdonads lol). It was great to see them. We have pretty much known eachother since we were five and dare I say it we are all now thirty. It was fun watching our kids play together knowing we were once that young playing together. We are all pretty local but do you think we get together very often of coures not. We talked about husbands, kids and work is there anything else in life lol. I love my friends and hope we all get together more often and soon.

Seriously I can never grow plants. I have killed cacti, bamboo, tomato, and anything that my son brings home from school. My son has told me not to touch his plants because I will kill them. So this is were the bragging comes in. I finally have blossoms on my tomato plant. I could have planted my tomato plant in the ground but I have a dog and and who knows what other stray animals are lurking. So I bought the hangy plant thing. So far I am impressed with it. Anything that I can grow something in must be pretty good lol. So that is my little brag for today.

I love my new Job

Here are some photos I took at my job. These are my cousins kids I think they some of the most beautiful girls I have seen.

This is Megan. Her and Jayson have grown up together. We are working on having a double baptism.

This is Makena. She is quiet and shy and was the hardest to get to smile.

This is Mara. They moved away shortly after she was born. She is so accepting and loving that she gave me hug the first time she met me, as if she had known me her whole life. I am glad they have moved back and I get to see these beautiful girls more.

This is my favorite photo. It captures the innocents of a child so well.

I wish you all lived closer so you could bring your kids into the studio so I could capture there innocents.

I got a new job

I am so excited. I have been needing to find a better job since mine breakup. Jay and I went to a portrait studio a few months ago to get our photos done and I was talking to the manager about how I use to work in a studio and loved it. She told me to apply this fall when she was hiring. I went in to pick my photos up and she had me fill out an application. Today was my first day. For the next two weeks I will be working both jobs and then after that I get work at a photo studio yeah its practically the job of my dreams. Maybe some day I can take it to the next level and do shutes out side the studio.

Zoo

We went to the zoo on Saturday and had such a good time. The weather was ok which was surprising. On our drive up to salt lake it was raining pretty hard. Then when we arrived at the zoo it quit raining it was great. The kids had a great time. We were heading to the train and it down poured which was when we were leaving anyways. It was a great day. Jayson with his head in the lions mouth.

The bears were the funnest to watch
Here is Jayson, Braxton and Braiden


Here are the boys infront of the elephants. It was fun watching them eat.


Thank you Aunt Cynthia and Grandma for a fun day at the zoo. Next time we should plan a trip when everyone can come.

Guess who started Karate

I did an Oh my heck i am so sore. Last month they let the moms go to karate for free for mothers day. The head of the school talked me into staying. He could see I needed it to take away my stress with everything. Master Lawrence is one of the most amazing guys I have ever met. He is my teacher and his son Mikki Lawrence is an awsome man as well he teaches my sons class. Anyways back to me lol. This class teaches karate, kick boxing and self defence. Oh my heck it totally kicked my butt and I get to do it again tomorrow. I am loving it.

Yellow Belt

I am so proud of my little man. Even in this hard time in his life he still pushes his way through and shows how strong he is. He got his yellow belt today. This is an exciting event. On top of the physical strengths of karate they work on the mind. Right now he has to memorize a poem: Everything in life is what you make it, its not what is that counts, its how you take it. I thought this is so appropriate for our lives.
