Nick is getting old! LOL



So August 13th was Nick's birthday! I make fun of him because he is older than me so I have to remind him that he is OLD! LOL... not really though 29 is not old! haha... So for his birthday I bought him a digital picture frame for his desk at work! It is way nice and I put like 55 pics on it for him! He loved it! :0) and then I bought him balloons and he was a little embarrassed by them LOL... Happy Birthday Princess!!! ;0) 

Silly Boys!

Grandpa Willis

So, I have a few posts I need to make, but haven't had time so I will tonight! :0) But this one I have to do now! Yesterday marks the 7th year since my Grandpa Willis passed away of cancer. I always think about him and miss him a lot! I am sad that my kids never got to meet him, he was an awesome grandpa! Growing up in SLC we lived just down the street from Grandpas house and went there for all occasions! My favorite ones were Christmas and Halloween! I loved to go there and play in Grandpas back yard! He was the sweetest, kindest Grandpa! I MISS him soooo much!! I named my second son, Beckem Duane after him! I was due Sept. 7th I believe with Beckem and went into labor early. I didn't have him on the date that Grandpa passed away, but I believe I had him the day we buried him. How ironic is that? What an honor for us and Beckem to be named after a GREAT man! I miss you and love you soooooo much Grandpa! "When I get where I'm going I'm going to walk with my Granddaddy, and he'll match me step for step, I'll tell him how I've missed him every minute since he left, and then I'll hug his neck!" I LOVE YOU GRANDPA!

Update

So this Friday is my last day at work!!! I put my 2 weeks notice in June 11th!! What a two weeks! LOL my boss kept asking me to stay a little bit longer, but now for sure this Friday is my last day!! YAY!! 


So I decided I am going to babysit from home and go to school! So I have 4 potential kids that I might be able to watch! I put an ad on KSL and have got a few emails and phone calls! I met one of the kids on Sunday and I meet the other three this Sunday! So hopefully it all works out!! I then want to go to school! If you don't know already, I want to be a Dental Hygienist and also I want to do nails! hehe so when I am done you can come to me to get your teeth cleaned and your nails done LOL... I am hoping to start nails next month! The schooling lasts 15 weeks to be able to be a licensed nail technician. I am excited because I love nails!! and then my schooling for Dental is about 3 1/2 years! So I need to get on it!

Nick's Bronco is getting done and then we are getting rid of his Titan :0( SAD! I really LOVE the Titan, but the gas mileage is way bad! Nick's dad wants the Titan so as soon as the Bronco is done then his dad is going to take the Titan! Nick's birthday is the 13th of August and I always tease him that he is getting old! LOL! He is not old I just like to give him a hard time because he is older than me! LOL!

Corben starts school August 18th! He will be in preschool! Crazy! I am going to be sad! He is way excited though! I am going to take him school shopping next weekend! How exciting!! He goes M-W-F. I am so excited and sad all at the same time!! 

Beckem turns ONE on August 23rd!!! Wow this year has flown by! My other little man is going to be one!! He is soo funny! Him and Corben get along great so far and LOVE each other soo much! I'll be posting pictures of his first birthday!

My NEW hair color!

Corben and Mommy! 
So my cousin colored my hair for me and I always ask Nick what I should do and he always plays it safe and says, "Do whatever anything is cute". So I asked him this time because I was going to go all blonde and he said do blonde, brown and burgandy... so I did and this is how it turned out! I like it and Nick likes it too! Something different! 

BeAr LaKe!!!

We went to Bear Lake July  18th-20th. We had a lot of FUN! So since I have the worst luck EVER, of course my trip had to have a little excitement to it... We were on our way and right when we get on the freeway we had our family trailer we were pulling and it blew a tire! Yay nice way of starting the trip out! So that put us behind about an hour! Well we were meeting Nick's friends there, Cass and Shane and Nick had made reservations for us at a nice camp ground. Well we were behind so Cass and Shane got there way before us and were searching for this camp ground. They ended up calling Nick to get the number to this place so they can go set up their camp for the night and wait for us to arrive. Ya so Nick gave them the number and it started with 615? I was all Nick that is not a number in Utah or even Idaho. Well Cass called it and ya Nick made us reservations at the camp ground, but didn't realize that the camp ground was in CANADA!!! LOL... So I guess they have the same name and when Nick looked up the number online he thought he was calling the on at Bear Lake. Ya the one at Bear Lake has been closed for years!! So we had to sleep in the camper in a parking lot there the first night! What fun! LOL... Oh well the rest of the weekend we had a lot of FUN!! Corben and Beckem have never been to the lake on a boat! So they had fun! Corben drove the sail boat and the speed boat and TUBED!!! Ya they did that without telling Mommy at first!!! Our last day there before we headed home we played on the beach for a bit and Corben and Beckem made sand castles!! Well Corben made them Beckem tried eating them!! But overall it was a lot of FUN!! And we stopped on our way home at a store there they had chocolate covered raspberries!! Oh WOW were those sooooo GOOD!!!
