To quite.

So I was working on a book last week and Steven was playing. He had climbed in the toy box and pulled toys out. I realized its was really quite I got up to check on him and I found him fast asleep face down in the blankets and pillows he had pushed off the couch. It was so funny.

Pay it forward...

Why I Believe

Heritage Makers Trip

This past weekend I had the privilege of going with 3 other girls to Costa Mesa to a Heritage Makers Regional s. I got to learn about new product being released, updated coming to the website and just get inspired by our CEO of the company Doug Cloward, his son head of sales and marketing Brytt Cloward, and many other fabulous leaders.
We went down on Thursday night. Friday morning early afternoon we went to Newport Beach. It was a perfect day. Overcast, not to cold, not to hot. Friday night we had the opening of the conference, and Saturday we spent all day listening to wonderful speakers teach us how they are successful in their business. Saturday night we were very tired so we had a quite dinner at a wonderful little place called Pat and Oscars. Very good food. Sunday morning we drove Cherie to her friends house in Chino Hills to drop her off for a baby shower, then she was going to fly home. The rest of us grabbed a bite to eat then drove home. Heather and I didn't make it very far before we fell asleep. Poor Krishelle was bored without us to talk to. When we stopped in Baker to go to the bathroom so said we weren't allowed to go back to sleep. We had a great time.
Jerry was so wonderful to take care of the kids. Grandma and Grandpa helped a little. Jerry even managed to pull Elizabeth's hair back in a ponytail for school on Friday. Saturday night he took her to the UNLV/BYU basketball game while grandma watch Steven. She had a great time with daddy. She really got into the game. Jerry even managed to have them ready for church on time. Although I am told Elizabeth's hair wasn't pulled up just combed out. Oh well. The kids missed me and so did Daddy. I think he has a new appreciation for me now. He told me he understands now what I mean when I say "I need a break". He really did do a great job and I am so thankful for a wonderful husband who supports me.

Elizabeth and Steven

The other day I took some video of Steven dancing to his piano. Of course miss Elizabeth had to get in front and show off as well. I just thought it was so cute though of him dancing to his piano.

Elizabeth Starts Kindergarten

So Elizabeth started kindergarten today. She did really well on her first day. She didn't cry, mommy didn't even cry. I did my panicking on Saturday when I realized she only had two days left. I guess it was good to get it out of my system before when she wasn't with me.
So I of course wanted to take pictures before she left. I tell you she is going to be a fashion model. She CAN NOT take a picture without posing for it. I tried to tell her just stand up straight with your arms to your side. She would do that until just before the camera went off, then here comes the poses. She is growing up. She is 5 going on 15 for sure. As Rustin has already informed me, I am getting old. This was a day I was waiting for, but dreading. She has a really good teacher and I think she will do really well in this small class and come next year when she will be able to go to a regular 1st grade class.

Christmas in Enterprise

O.K. so I'm not fabulous at update my blog. The month of Dec. has been crazy. With going to the burn unit once a week and then me getting sick and having to spend a night in urgent care observation unit with a severe kidney infection and then spending a week in Enterprise, things have been busy.

We weren't going to go up to Enterprise for Christmas since Jerry had to work, but he insisted we go since we haven't been up there for two years and he wasn't going to be here to see the kids open there presents anyway. He said just take the video camera and record it and I will come up on Friday after work. Well that's what we did. He called me at 6:30 a.m. and said they were sending him home and didn't need him. He wanted to know if he should come up for the day. I said o.k. at first till I remember there was suppose to be a severe snow storm that day. He's not so confident at driving in the snow. I told him to just stay put and hang out with Jared. We were a little bummed about that but we couldn't have predicted that his stupid company would send him home that early because that can't plan things right.

The kids got up and Elizabeth was so excited about her presents. Everything she opens was just what she wanted. Such a drama queen she is. Steven wasn't all that interested in opening present. He was more interested in the basketball he got. I got a new camera that I wanted and to my great surprise Jerry and I got a wii from my in laws. My mother-in-law is a shopaholic what can I say. Love her. Especially when she does stuff like that. I really wanted one, it was just out of my price range. Elizabeth got her own camera which she took many many pictures especially of herself.

Jerry and Jared came up on Fri. night. We had gone to St. George for dinner for Hunter's birthday and so I waited for him and I drove the rest of the way since the roads where still covered in snow and ice. Saturday the Jared and Elizabeth played in the snow as much as we would let them. Steven wasn't to fond of the snow. He wouldn't leave gloves on, so his hands were cold. I think the gloves reminded him of his dressing to much.

Sunday early morning Elizabeth woke up sick to her stomach. To much playing I think. She was feeling better though by the time we were ready to go. We went to Logandale to hear Jessica speak in church about her mission. Then we made it home 20 minutes before tithing settlement.

Things have been slow since coming home. I have been trying to catch up with business and other things which were going o.k. till New Years Eve when I got sick with the stomach flu. So New Years wasn't that great. I laid in bed. I am feeling a little better but not fabulous yet. Not a great way to start to new year. I hope it only gets better from here on out. Hope everyone had a much better New Years than we did. May Our Father in Heaven bless us all with good health and a prospers year this year.
