That's me if you can't tell!
There's Clayton.

Me and my friend Tasha



We had a lot of fun four wheeling I think it's important to do things with eachother. We won't be able to do this as much with two kids so we'll take advantage of the times we can. Thanks Leanne for watching Jayni. It's so nice to have my sisters watch Jayni she loves her cousins and it especially nice to not be worried about Jayni and she is well taken care of.

Jayni was trying to escape!
They climb in the toy box and play.

Jayni and her best buddy Kyler, they are so funny together.


Jayni still enjoying eating by herself, I finally figured out that it's best to undress her til she's all done.

Well I guess i've been TAGGED......whatever!
Seven interesting facts about me are:
1. I love life today! I am seeing things for the first time, it may sound weird but it truly is the coolest thing to be where i'm at. I love being in Recovery, doing things with other people that are on the same path as i am. I love all the people who are in my life today because they are in in my life for a reason. I learn a lot from other people, I never used to be like that I have always said," I need to experience things on my own." I am learning that i can learn from other people that go before me.
2.I love being a mom it's the greatest gift that god has given me. I realize that she is heavenly fathers child and i am going to do my best to teach her the things that will help her become the wonderful Daughter of god that he has intended her to be. I love to watch children, they can be sterssful at times but when i can calmly sit back and watch them inneract with eachother it's pretty incredible. Kids make it real what life is all about. If we could remember whtat we teach our kids this world would be a lot more peaceful!
3. I love being married it has taught me to be PATIEN, KIND, and TOLERANT. I love being married to someone who is also in Recovery and is learning that this life is a learning process. I love that Clayton is his own person and so different from me. I used to expect him to be a certain way,it has taken a lot of practice to see him in a new light which I am so grateful for because he is an incredible person. I am so grateful that he is such a loving Dad.
4. I love to hang out with my family, we don't get to spend too much time as a unit becuse Clayton is either working or I am in school or working so when we get to spend Good Quality time together it's awesome!
5. my ideal day would look like this, Wake up and read out of my meditation book, go to the gym and have a really hard work out, come home put Jayni down for a nap, put some cleaning music on and clean my house spotless. Get ready, Go get lunch at Olive Garden and have the pasta with Green peppers and chicken(don't remember the name) Go to the park with Jayni then go get a Dr. Pepper!!! and then come home and Have my homework done for class, Fix dinner(maybe) then Clayton and I would go get a movie and Ben and Jerrys Strawberry cheese cake and put Jayni to bed and watch the movie then Go to bed at Ten oclock.
6. wow reading that perfect day puts a smile on my face. That's what my days used to consist of but with everything else added to my life I have learned to be ok if there's a spot on my floor and laundry piled up(not too high). I do the best I can each day and am learning to let things happen and not try to Role play my Days. I am becoming very appreciative of every precious moment cause I swear there's not enough hours in the day:(
7. Last thing is that I want to be a therapist for women who have been through some of the things I have and anything else. I say women right now but that could change that's just where i'm at, I want them to feel empowered and see their heads held high.

Our Day in Rockville.......

We went up to Rocckville(right before zions) for a workshop. It was a lot of fun played football and bball. Ate really good Mexican food. and attended some mtgs. we weren't planning on staying but our friends were going to camp so they talked us into staying and camping for the last time this yr. I'm glad we stayed.(our pants are wet from crossing the river brrrr........)
Sorry, thought it wouldn't be blurry but that's all of us, well except me!

Clayton actually fell in and kyle hurt his wrist trying to help Clayton over. This was the highlight of the wknd.!


We spent about 45min. trying to cross the river. we did finally do it but had to turn around and go back it was getting dark.



Standing around the fire trying to stay warm, i had three jackets on. It was cold!




Boys wiil be Boys; heading out for their night hike.

I just got done with my homework and i'm already sick of school. I remember why I sluffed do much in highschhol; it was hard for me and i didn't want to do the work. I am really glad that i am finally in school but feeling frustrated and don't want to register for next semester. To anyone who went to colleg, How did you keep going? Did you want to Quit? It hurts my head to have to think that hard. I'm just venting but if you have any tips that helped you stay focused I would appreciate it!!
