My Baby Boy is Sick :(

Well, it’s finally hit Jayden. My poor little guy was complaining of a tummy ache and I knew right then that my little guy was sick! He’s had the throw ups all night. Knowing how horrible it feels I feel so bad for him.

He missed out on the ward Halloween Party last night. I’d been looking forward to that party for a couple of weeks now 🙁 I’m so sad that we had to miss it.

Hopefully Jayden’s feeling better tomorrow for trick or treating. My poor little guy.

I’m feeling better. My tummy is still a little icky, but nothing compared to how I felt yesterday. Yesterday was just down right HORRIBLE.

Spoke Too Soon!

I have the flu horribly today. It was so bad this morning that Jayden didn’t even get to go to school, because I couldn’t drive him. Tonight is the Halloween carnival at church and I’m so upset that I’m not going to get to go.

This sucks!

DON’T!

Ella’s new thing ~ haven’t caught it on video yet, but I will and when I do I’ll upload it. She points at you and says, “DON’T!”

I find it cute right now. I know it’s only because she’s 14 months old, and when she does this when she’s older I won’t find it too cute, but for now I find it very cute!

Today we were at a play date at the mall and this little stinker kept leaving the mall play area. There was a man that was sitting by the exit, and she’d walk over there, look at the man, yell don’t at him, and then take off into the mall. She’d walk w/her head down and slyly look behind her to see if I had caught her yet. She’s such a handful and so cute at the same time.

Tears & Chills

Yesterday was just not a good day for me. Gino and I were not getting along and I’m being moody and it was just one of those days. I was driving and thought a text message from Gino came through on my phone and when I went to read it found that it was actually an email telling me I had a comment on my blog from Elder Foy’s sister, Crystal. She saw the video and I had instant chills and tears in my eyes.

I couldn’t imagine going 2 years w/out Jayden. As much as I would love for him to go on a mission and gain his own strong testimony, I don’t know how I could do it. I’m happy that I was able to show Elder Foy’s family that he is doing well. I just want them to know that many, many, MANY missionaries have tried to get my husband to get these discussions. Elder Foy and his partner Elder Goldhardt finally were able to get my husband to sit down and listen. I’m so thankful for how they have touched our lives…. changed our lives forever. We’re on the path to going to the temple and I’m so thankful!!

On another note….

the flu is out of our house! Crossing my fingers that Jayden doesn’t get it.

"L" Family

We had a lot of fun at this shoot! We did a lot of walking, but it was beautiful. I think I scared Emily & Steve by asking them to throw their baby in the air, but they had a lot of fun with it. Ben is my Ella’s boyfriend and is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!

Welcome!!

I have a new passion. It’s capturing those moments in life that I find absolutely perfect. I realized I had this passion while sitting in the waiting lounge at Olive Garden one day. There was a family that was sitting on a couch across from me and laughing and I wanted to capture that moment for them. I wished so badly that I had a camera at that moment.

I welcome you to journey this journey with me. I love comments on my other blog and the same applies here, so comment away 🙂

Icky Flu!

Last night we went to bed only to jump out of it 5 minutes later. Ella had thrown up all over. It was horrible. My poor baby girl has the flu and spent all night throwing up. She seems to be feeling better now ~ she hasn’t thrown up in 6 hours!!! I’m exhausted and can’t wait to go to bed tonight.

I was worried about her heart all night, but nothing bad ever happened with it.

Now I just pray that it doesn’t pass on to every single member of our family.

Jayden being Jayden

Yeah, um… we had a talk with him about how we’re not supposed to want to be violent with the bullies…. Jayden wants to kill him. Should I be worried??? This kid at school has always messed with Jayden ~ which irritates me to know end, and Jayden was voicing his opinions on the matter here…

The funny thing is this:

If Cole and Jayden see each other in public they get all exicted and say hi to each other. 1st graders are a mystery to me!

Missionaries – giving a shot out to their families :)

The missionaries that gave Gino his discussions were awesome. We really enjoyed them and had many laughs. Of course, the last laugh was on them! Elder Goldhardt is a HUGE Jazz fan ~ I’m hoping all of his friends and family are seeing this…. he’s actually wearing a Kings jersey! GO KINGS!!!

I’m thankful that we had the opportunity to get to know them. The made the discussions fun and I learned so much from them. AND! They got Gino to dunked 🙂



Carving Pumpkins

We had fun! Notice the Happy Birthday tablecloth ~ it’s my friends birthday today, and she was up visiting so we had a Happy Birthday pumpkin carving party. Jayden drew his pumpkin’s face. He’s pretty proud of it.

It was Family Home Evening and everyone jumped right into the carving pumpkins before I could give my lesson. So, while everyone was carving I was talking about prayer and asking Jayden questions about prayer ~ Jenise probably thinks we’re a bunch of religious psychos LOL. It’s so important to have that 1 day a week that you’re together as a family. It’s what builds strong families, and I owe it to my family to ensure that it’s done every week…. even if it’s a quickie 🙂

These are the moments that I’m so scared to lose. I don’t want them to grow up and not get excited about sitting around the table together to carve pumpkins. I truly treasure every single moment with these kids. Even the screaming fits I get out of them. Their personalities just shine through them and I love it! I love how they are their own individuals and I hope they stay that way. I don’t want them to change themselves for ANYBODY!
