West Haven Tumbling Meet

Bailee Had a tumbling comp this weekend and Placed First on Floor Level 7. She competed with the 13 year old girls. Her passes were 6 backhandsprings, tuck. Then Whip, 5 backhandsprings Tuck, "Bragging time" the Girl is extrordanarily Talented! It never ceases to amaze me when I see her tumbling Down the mat! She did share first place with another girl they got the exact same score so Bailee Thought she should have done a little bettter. She kicked some serious butt! She competed with 15 girls. Im so proud of her she works so hard for hours a week and is constantly pushing herself harder and harder. Way to Go Bai!!!

Happy New Year 2009

We had our annual New Years Eve Party at Haleys which is great because Bronson loves to cook and always has something really yummy for us!. I love New years its a great way to put all problems from last year behind you and focus on new goals for the New Year!
My New Rears Resolution Keep My Family Healthy and get Bailees Hypoglycemia under coltrol. Not exactly sure how to do that so if any one has any Good Healthy No sugar Recipies for me let me know Im having a hard time finding things she will eat without sugar shes ready to stop eating all together! Her blood sugar has been spiking so high she is now prediabetic.
My other New Years Resolution is to understand the docterine Covenants better this year. In Sunday School this old guy scared me half to Death by a warning found in the first section! Saying something about by reading the Docterine and Covanants you better be ready to live up to all that is in it! Im up for the challange....today. Sometimes life gets hecktic and hard around here but having my family for Eternity is worth any sacrifice no matter how hard life gets or what challenges we are faced with its worth the cost!

Christmas

Merry Christmas?!?! Yes We had a wonderful christmas. I love watching the kids come down and open their presents! This year Santa brought Bailee and kaden Bikes and Kaden well lets just say it was all he could do not to cry that he got a bike since that is his Very favorite thing to do is ride his bike and with his cast he cant even walk. Jaxson wrapped back up his Dinosaurs that Santa Brought him and told us they were not for him, and Bai well lets just say there was an emotional outburst of tears right after this picture was taken. Not exactly sure what that was all about other than, dare I say it, we have an emotional almost teenager in our house. (GASP) One who probably didnt sleep much the night before. Other than that We had a wonderful Christmas full of fun and visiting Family and Friends. I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas.

Yes It is Broken!!!!

Broken!
Yes Kaden did Break His Leg! He has a spiral fraction to the big bone of the lower leg. He has to have this bent Cast on for a total of 3 weeks. It is casted bent so that it is not possible for him to put any pressure on it at all. So the poor little guy is OUT of school untill he get this cast off right after the first of the year. Then He gets a cast on that he will be able to walk in. He will have that on for Four Weeks. That Brings us into the First on February. Then the Doctor said He can ski the middle of February and he cant wait! I on the other hand am thinking he needs to wait untill Next year. Ill bet I lose this battle though!

Kaden did awesome in wrestling this year, like always but the older he gets the more he gets into it. Craig started Kaden Wrestling when he was 4 so he has been Wrestling for 3 years and he loves it! It must be in the Blood! Craig was a very good Wrestler to and I cant tell you what exactly he won but I do know he won alot. Kaden No Different. He has Never taken anything less than a silver Metal. Actually He has Never taken the Gold Either Just Silver. Kaden is Never Satisfied with the Silver. He is very competitive...I mean VERY!!!! In fact a quick little staory Because this just happened a few minutes ago I got a call from Craig. He took Bailee, Kaden and Bailees friend Cayden Skiing today. I guess Kaden (first time skiing) though he was as good as them took off racing Bailee down the Mountain, and is now with the paramedics in the first aide office with a possible broken leg!!!! Im waiting to hear. So ill post if its Broken. This post was supposed to get my mind off it, its not working!

Bailee Tagged

Bailee was Tagged Im supposed to tell you 5 things about her that you may not already know.
1. Bailee was Sealed to me and Craig in the Temple when she was about 6. She had a very spiritual experience in the Temple that I wont go into details on my blog if you want to know Id be happy to share it with you but Because of that she has always remembered her time in the temple being sealed to us at such a young age. She remembers it well in fact even the people who took care of her she can remember what they did with her and said to her. Very Very Vivid memories. She is a very spiritual girl and is always reminding me how important the gosple is.
2. Bailee is very athletic (she does not get this from me) She is an amazing soccer player and Tumbler! She has now learned her Full and is super excited about that! She loves to dance and is a very good Dancer. The one thing about Bai you may not know about Bailee is a very good snow skiier. Her very first time skiing down the mountain she shocked her dad who thought he would spend most of his time picking her up. When in fact She could keep up with Craig and his Friend almost every where they went.
3. Bailee is very motivated. She Tries so hard to get good grades and she pushes herself very hard in everything she does. Tumbling ecspecialy. Bailee gets very down on herself when she does things below the standard that she thinks they should be done in. It wasnt enough for her to try to get her Faith in God award she wanted to get it done early and not be rushing at the end of her priamary years to get it done. She had her Faith in God award about 9 months ago so close to a year before she was supposed to have it done.
4. Little kids are Drawn to Bailee. Im not exactly sure what this is. Little girls ecspecially want to talk to her and play with her. Bailee Loves every second of it and Loves the little kids. All her little girl cousins flock to Bailee as if she is some sort of Super Star! SHe eats up every second of this. Im not sure its just little kids that are drawn to Bailee because ever since she was a tiny Baby people would come over to me to tell me how beautiful she is. This still happens almost everywhere we go. The Scary thing is now its the boys that im having to fight away.
5.Bailee is a sweet and Kind person who has a very tender heart! She gets her feelings hurt very easily and is very sympathetic to those people who are hurting or inneed. She has been this way all her life. She really and Truely wants to be and tries to be everyones friend. She has alot of friends and I think this is one reason because she does sincerly care about all people. She hates it when kids are mean to other kids I think its one of her worst pet peeves.

Missing Summer!

Oh Man! Im already sick of the cold!!!
Im missing Summer and the heat! Bring back the sun and warmth! I never seem to get warm during the winter and so far no different! When I sleep I have to wear a sweatshirt and flannel pj bottoms to bed every night and then i wrap myself in my down blanket and throw a blanket over that! But also Im missing going out on the boat and sometimes we just drift in the coves and we turn on the itunes and lay in the sun. We all enjoy this The Kids Love it too! Its going to be a very Long winter. On the good side I am looking forward to thanksgiving and Christmas !

Quirks!!!

Quirks

I have been tagged and this time it is QUIRKS !!! You have to list 6 quirks about yourself soooo in no particular order...

1.Feet- since Lori Tagged me and we have one Quirk in common ill start with that! I hate feet! I hate people touching my feet, and looking at or touching other peoples feet. I hate Pedicures (you dont know whos feet have been soaking in that nasty tub) But the very worst thing I hate about feet is when Craigs feet touch my feet ecspecialy in Bed Ew!

2. Smells- I think I have an extra sensitive sence of smell because If it doesnt smell clean to me its not and so I will scrub the bathroom or clean a room untill it smells clean. If there is an oder of any kind that I cant figure out no matter how faint Then it needs to be found and cleaned up or taken care of!

3. Kids Shoes- No one in my house can put their shoes away! I find shoes everywhere but in their closets or lockers. This doesnt mean however that when its time to find shoes that we will find two of the same anywhere in the house. Craig is the worst at leaving his shoes EVERYWHERE! and in the strangest places I might add.

4. Craigs Cell Phone- Ok now I understand he is a real estate agent and his phone is his Job but seriously its his Life! He is constantly on the phone answering it whenever and wherever . Even when we go on vacation he brings his phone and will call clients back and check messages. Give me a break! Craig just happened to walk in to see what im up to and guess What His phone of course started ringing.

5. Being Late- I hate to be Late! I hate it when other people are late! When the kids get off their scheduals at all in the morning it drives me crazy.

6.People chewing food loudly- slurping open mouth chewing, scarfing food, whatever it is if I hear it Im done eating. It will make me sick and if you some into a room chewing food it really makes my stomache roll.

Youre right Lori telling all my quirks kinda makes me sound a little beasty as well!!! Ha Im so not...Right?

I tag:
Haley
April
Bailee
Diana
Sara
and You if you havent done this already!

Just a Quick Post!

I love reading funny stories about your kids mine just mostly happen to be about Jaxson. This one is no different. Have you ever felt like you totaly disappointed your kids? Well I just did. Jax came to me and asked me if I could jump his guy on to a thingy in a Wii game. I told him my brain doesnt work like that and I couldnt help him. He told me ya mom your the Mommy you can do everything! AW! So of course i tried how could I disappoint him? So after trying like 50 times to jump the guy onto the thingy Jax looked at me shook his head and said mom just give it to me. He did it the first try. Then told me see i told you its not hard. Ok the wii has two joy stick things and you have to move them with both your hands. Definatly not my strong suit!

No More Home Phone

We have decided to cancle our Home Phone because we all have Cell Phones now. If You dont have my Cell Phone number its 801-389-2060.

Two of a kind!

Craig and Jaxson

Today after the other kids had gone to school Jaxson was sitting on Craigs lap and I couldnt help but to stare at them in amazement! There are exactly the same! They look the same there bodies are the same and they act exactly the same! Wild and crazy! Lately ive been noticing how much they really are alike. Jaxson has this strange and amazing ability to remember and sing songs. Im not talking Old McDonalds Farm or any other normal 4 year old song Im talking Linkin Park (which Craig Loves) Flobots, Fall Out Boys, Nickleback those are the knds of music Jax and Craig love. If Bailee has on music she likes if makes Jaxson really mad he wants to listen to what he likes and He knows the words and sings along with it. He also follows craig around like a shadow soaking in every minute he can get with Dad. Ive been told stories of how craig used to hit his head on everything when he was young! Hello that is Jaxson too there isnt a day that he doesnt have a bump or Bruise. Well if Jax grows up to be anything like his Dad he will be a great and Wonderful Man!

October Snow BRRRRR!!!

Waking up to this is just what i needed
to want to Hide inside all Day! BURRR! I hate winter but i do have to say it reminded me of how fun the snow can be for the kids. They loved making Snowmen pumpkin heads! Someone tell Bai just because the camera is coming out does not mean go get dressed in something cute because you know it will be a blogging picture!





Happy soon to be Halloween lets not let fall get away from us that easily!

Busy!

Dance, Tumbling, Soccer, Football! Yes we are Busy but can i just say YES the Bake sale is over and we actually made Tons of money for the school! I would say it was a success. Now No more volunteering untill next year...Right??? Those of you who dont know what im talking about I am in charge of the Bake Sale for the Fall Festival for our school and let me tell you It is alot of work. But i did enjoy it its not the worse thing in the world! Very Rewarding when you see 4 Huge tables filled with donated baked goods to sale for the school!

Soccer and Football are almost over for the Kids also and then what will I do with all my extra time. Bailees Soccer team is Great this year they have only lost one Game and she is playing forward again which is her favorite position to play because she gets to score the Goals and she does it well, but this year her coach discovered she is an amazing little Goaly! Kaden on the other Hand Hates to play forward he wants to be a defender and loves to stop the other team from scoring! Kades team destroyes every team they play like 18 to 1 and 12 to 0 you kinda feel bad for all the other teams! Kaden Loves Football too and has scored more touchdowns than any other on his team! They have only lost one game and it is so fun to watch them. Next year Kaden says he is done with the sissy Flag football. AHHHHH!!! i dont know if im ready for that. HE seems so small and he is for his age but he really wants to play tackle!... I think ill need some pointers on this one. He will be in 3rd grade next year but he has always been the smallest kid in his class. But he is really good at it so all you football moms out there let me know when did your boys start?

Jaxson turned 4 this week! How the time does Fly I cant belive 4 years ago I had my baby it seems like well ok ya it does feel like 4 years at least! Hes quite the boy!

Thats right he climbed onto the table grabbed the light and swung from it and yes it did come crashing down with him hanging on it! But one the one thing thats for sure there is NEVER a dull moment with Jaxson around!
