This Very Day

9 years ago today my husband asked me 

what I wanted for my birthday (I was extremely pregnant at the time).  

I told him I wanted to have this baby....

And so it was, 9 years ago today this darling boy

came into our family.

And I have adored him every minute since.

Happy Birthday, my wonderful boy!

Too Old

No lie,
One of my "friends" at school told me
I shouldn't be listening to Nickelback.
Wasn't I kind of old for that kind of music?

NOW I've hit a new low. 
I'm too old for Nickelback.

My life has lost all meaning and purpose.

Guess That Place

 Red rock?  Check.

Death-defying drops?  Check.

 Holding up red rocks?  Check.

 Weeping Rock family photo?  Check.

 Random ostrich pictures?  Check and...

Check.

Yes, you guessed it.  Our weekly trip to Zions National Park. 

Back to School

Yes, it's true.
I am back for Spring semester.
They didn't kick me out.
On the up side?
Only 15 weeks to go.
On the down side?
Still 15 weeks to go.
Sigh.........

Today I am feeling education is overrated.

I can do hard things,
I CAN do hard things!!

Things that Make Me Smile

 Spending the day on the lake with  my favorite little people

 My beautiful neice Abby

(We consider her our child #4)

 My son at the beach. AND

 My girls at the beach.  AND

 

My favorite boy buried in sand

 Beautiful morning sunrises

 Rocket ships made by my buddy Campbell

 Utah Football...

Especially when they kick the TRASH out of bro-in-law's

favorite team, BYU

 Palm trees, waterfalls, blue water...

in any form!

BFFs that wear matching Ninja Turtle pajamas.

Plus lots more.  But my camera broke, so I'm limited to photos right now.

If you are knowledgeable about cameras, please let me know!

I am in the market for a new one.

Thinking Canon.  Any suggestions?

Life

A month (almost) of thankfulness was fun.
Reminded me of some awesome blessings I have in my life.

My camera broke, so no new pictures.
I don't have time to go buy a new one.
Probably going to invest in a good one this time.
If you know much about cameras and want to
enlighten me, I will take it...

Now I am studying for finals. 
NINE FINALS.  All within 48 hours of each other.
I don't know how I will survive.
I just will. 

So not a lot of blogging from me in the next few weeks.
December 13th at 4PM  I will be done.
Finished with my first semester.
I WILL SURVIVE (I hope)
