Ok prepare yourself, I guess this is what happens when you keep putting off posts. Well after 15months living in pleasant grove the home we lived in sold, so Sept 30th we moved, luckily just down the street :) This move was the hardest most exhausting move we have done. But now we are all settled in. Yes we are staging this home as well. I decided to start my own hometending business and was lucky enough to have become good friends with some agents, this is how we found this home, instead of paying the company we went through before we are paying ourselves. I am so excited about it and feel so blessed to have such a great opportunity here is my website, www.idealhometending.com, if you look at contact us, you will see a familiar face on someone that you love just as much as I do, doing this with me.
Even though living down here has been hard, being away friends and family, we have really been looked over. .
The kids have gotten so big and boys are so crazy busy I never knew kids could have so much energy, Kaden is 5 1/2 going on 20 he is quite the determined, independent, sassy, sweet little boy. He does everything on his own, he is ready for school before anyone else is even up, even the sun:) He is the best though at taking care of Parker wow he really loves him and Parker just loves him right back. He sometimes just doesn't want me he just wants Kaden. It's crazy to think this year is over, I never remember life passing me by as fast as it does now. Here are some pictures below of all that we have been up too. Oh and this picture above of kaden, just a minute ago came down from being in time out with this on. Chris and I could not stop laughing.
This is Halloween, Kaden forgot what it was like to have teeth, he now has lost 4 teeth. Ok this is funny, he woke me up one night at 2 in the morning, says"mom is my tooth lose, I said what? no kaden, stop trying to make your teeth lose or you will have no teeth to eat with it, ok mom, so he went back to bed, the next morning he says" mom", did I lose a tooth last night? Kaden, no hunny, oh my teeth were just cru-u-ious )curious) he cracks me up. He sure can whiste though not having teeth.
On halloween we started off in slc at a outdoor party, totally lame but at least we got out and did something.
After trick or treating eating all the goodies, this year was some awesome candy, one house even gave us fresh hot chocolate and donuts
here we have, spider man, karate-ninja kid, and iron man
hate this picture of me, but everyone else looked to good to not post

Crazy hair day for kaden at school, he LOVES kindergarten
Random picture i know, but this is what I found underneath the boys bed when we were getting ready to move last month seriously that's a lot of crap.
Kaden is in to Skate boarding like no other, he taught himself and is awesome at it. He just find s something he likes and works hard until he figures it out, with a lot of frustration and whinning he is determined to do it and he does.
Love my sweet connor, always making us laugh still, he is so much fun, he is my cuddly boy, still the sweetest connor ever
This baby got big faster than any of my others, he sits up now and rolls all over, he scoots backwards, but not really crawling yet, which I am fine with, I don't need him bigger than he already is. Parker is BUSY though he will cuddle with dad and kaden but not me, he is just jumping and grabbing things always doing something and loves to eat, what baby doesn't. :) I want to love and cuddle him so much, but he is just to busy of a baby, thinks he is on mission or something. Parker is the best baby though, always smiling rarely cries, just always has a permament smile on his face, he is always reminding us to smile.
Life is busy, but good. I have learned more than anything how much my family means to me. I will never regret closing down THF and having to start all over, the lessons I have learned, the people I have met, the hard and good days have made me who I needed to be. I am really grateful for these experiences and now finally having some opportunities to help our family get back on our feet again. I may struggle with some health issues and not have a home to claim mine yet, but with a little patient and perserverence we can over come anything, and one day all this waiting will be worth it. I once heard a simple quote that just says it all" Don't waste Today worrying about tomorrow" Today is all that matters" I know I spent to much time caring more about my tomorrows that I wasted my today's. Especially with little kids life is precious and they are only little once. I regret worrying so much and not focusing on the things I could control, instead I was focusing on the things I couldn't, that time I will never get back. Life can be depressing and sad if we LET it, but life can also be wonderful and happy if we MAKE it. :)
