Cant get enough part 2!

I mean really!!

Cant get enough !

So lately, it has seemed like life is throwing us constant curve balls. There will come a time when I will be able to freely talk about these curve balls, but for now they are all still weighing heavily on my mind. With life, comes trials. As part of Heavenly Father's plan, all people experience adversity during their lifetime. Trials, disappointments, sadness, sickness, and heartache are a difficult part of life, but with the help of the Lord they can lead to spiritual growth, refinement, and progress.

With trials comes your ability on how you handle these trials. I choose to handle mine with everything I got..though not easy and at times it is VERY HARD. I know that one day i will look back and i will be able to say I made it through...I cannot wait to for the day when we all can say we have made it through our trials.

I feel like I have rolled with the punches pretty well, but there does come a time when i just feel like I am only human. There are times when I feel like I am not coming up for air...but i always know I will never be alone. I have a huge amazingly supportive family. I love them all soo much.

I also have been blessed with some amazing friends! I know that i can turn to any of these people, and I know that they will have my back! They would do anything to help!
I guess you could say I have been in a "funk" for some time, if u want to call it that. I mean "funk" in my world can have alot of different definitions. But anyhow..i just wanted to let those I am close to know, that I have not meant to exclude certain family or friends from my life. I, when times get stressful, can tend to "pull away" a little, so i feel like I am not burdening others...I know it is silly and not logical..but it is something i am trying to move past.

I guess i just watned to say Thank you friends, and Thank You family for not giving up on me! I love you all soo much!

I don't know what i would do without these people! I love you guys!

I have some amazing friends here in P-town! Moving here 7 years ago, we came to this state not knowing anybody or anyone. We did not have family here. I do know, that I have met some AMAZING people here! They have become "my family". These people are so amazing! I wish I could clone them, and pass them out to everyone. Everyone needs friends like these! They have watched my kids grow up! I have watched their kids grow up! We have sooo MANY AMAZING MEMORIES! They have been our "family" away from family. You each have been my rock when I have needed it. You have cheered me up when i have been sad. You make me laugh. You have helped me through some insanely stressful times. No matter what, you are there. You help me get through my crazy days. You are all constantly by my side...through thick and thin. I get teary eyed just writing about how blessed I am for having the bestest friends and family in the world!

I love you guys! Thank you for just being you..and thank you for helping me be a better person. It is this group of people (u know who u are)that will never know how I could ever "repay" them for their generosity and love! They are the BEST! I am soo grateful that I have met these people! Thank you friends! Thank you for being the BESTEST FRIENDS I could ask for! Thank you for becomming my FAMILY!

ok that is about all the mushy stuff I could handle for know. It is time to tackle the day...and unfortuntely it will be filled with the neverending pile of laundry!:)

Mr. C's Gnarley Eye!

So this morning I woke up to my conner nonner running in my room because his eye had swollen shut... literally..i wish i had a picture of it..It was gnarly looking this morning.

Jesse and I asked what was wrong, and he said he didn't know, but that it was hurting. We got some cold packs on it, and decided he would need to been seen today. Thankfully the cold packs did their job, and the swelling went down ALOT. While applying the ice I kept I asked him if anything happened to his eye. He thought about it, and told me last night at club sport he might of hurt it..he told me he was playing basketball and as he was trying to shoot he poked his eye pretty bad. Of course he didn't tell anyone about it. I told him it would have been nice to hear about something like that the night it had happened. I knew it hurt..how could it not..it looked pretty painful. Too bad we didnt take any pics this morning when it looked "really cool" totally swollen shut. The doc told us he did indeed scratch it pretty good and because of the scratch, he not only has the pain of that but it also turned into pink eye. He said the two of those together makes for a pretty sore eye. conner nonner wanted me to take pics and post a blog about his eye so he can see how cool it looks.

anyhow.. here are some cool pics of his eye..and the pretty cool scratch at the top...
Dont be alarmed..he may look possesed in these pics...and i know they look kinda creepy, but it does show how white the one eye is, compared to how red the other is. The really dark red is where he scratched it.



The right eye..nice and white..the way it should be...


the left eye...this is the one he poked.


he wanted to show me his tough guy pose....


I am sure glad it will heal and that he didnt scratch his cornea....that is one huge blessing when u dont have any health insurance...it could have been worse and thank goodness it wasnt.

Toothpaste Anyone?

So this morning while I was enjoying my day off by cleaning my lovely house. I was waiting for little gavinators ride to come get him for preschool. I had asked him to go brush his teeth and then I got back to cleaning my kitchen. I finally looked at the time and realized that lil gav had been gone a LONG TIME brushing his teeth. He usually will brush...swish his mouth wash and then run back down to keep me company. Well I called out to him and then he came down.. I freaked OUT!!!

He had toothpaste ALLL OVER HIM!...well at least it didn't get in his hair..it was just all over his clothes. I asked him what he did, and he told me he didn't remember. "Ya right", he knew he did something naughty but i could was trying not to laugh because he was trying to sweet talk me right out of going upstairs to see the damage. .

I wish i had time to look at what the war zone might look like but then i hear the doorbell, and realize his ride for school is here. I quickly get him REdressed for school. I wish i had gotten a picture of the clothes.

He leaves, and I realize that my whole house smells like toothpaste. So off to school he went, and off to the bathroom I went. Its a good thing he was at school.

AT first I was sooo mad. REALLY?? Really?... The whole room upon walking in smells like this lovely minty freshness. Then, I see the towels on the ground that clearly he had used to try to "clean" up his mess. They are covered in toothpaste. I see the sink that he had soo nicely finger painted creations all over..and then i see the lil piles of toothpaste that he spilled in the sink...LOVELY..just LOVELY!

I then started to laugh.. that makes it another good reason that he was at school. I am soo glad he didn't see me react to this mess with laughs. I don't want him to think this can happen on a daily basis, because mommy "thought it was funny"...but it was funny to see that even though my "baby" has alot of grown up moments lately...this reminded me that he is still only 3..and he still has those naughty I just need to get into mischief moments! I soo love this mischief maker!

I had to snap some shots of him when he got home from school with him by his mess. Though, i was not showing him how funny i thought it was, I did give the normal mom lecture and explained why this is not ok..

The pictures will explain it all..I went in there ..he is pointing to what he had done,...he then rolls his eyes at me when I tell him that this is not ok to do...and then he give me one of those super cute faces that i couldn't resist snapping a shot of..












I just wish the pictures did Justice to the mess.

Ps: don't let ur eyes think we actually tiled out bathroom pink...no we didn't...it came that way....i know, i know, It is Horrific..One day it will be replaced.

TEN YEARS !

(sorry the pics are crazy and not sized right..they were the only ones i could fit into the computer scanner and actually got them to work..i love being computer stupid!!)

It was February 29, 2000....Ten years ago...on a cold but beautiful sunny day...! We have been through sooooo much in our little 10 years of marriage. I must say, even when the times are ROUGH....and we feel like giving in... I realized that we still do have each other. Through the good and the bad...and the happy and the sad. If we can get through all that we have these last ten, and we survived..then I know without a doubt we will get through whatever lies ahead. Thank you for never giving up on me! Thank you for lifting me up when I needed you.

10 years!!!!

Happy anniversary Jesse....thank u for saying "yes" 10 years ago.

ALso.. Thank you for asking me to marry you again last night on our date...It made my heart melt....I know I am not an easy person to live with. I know that there are times when I am just a big pain in the butt....but....I do thank you for loving me no matter what!


As I sit here remembering our day, I wanted you to read the words of "our" song that u sang to me that day....



When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the star appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
There's no doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

There ain't nothin' that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
Make you happy make your dreams come true
To make you feel my love


How real these lyrics are!!! I love you babe! Happy Anniversary!

Must be My boy...

I just woke up from a very relaxing Sunday nap...It was GREAT! the first nap that i have been able to take without the help of melatonin! it was nice.

I proceed to hang out in the computer room..hubby and the con man are hanging out doing father son video game time.

Anyhow..i get the privilege of having lil gavinator climb up my computer chair and then ,("blast" his term) or "jump" (in my terms),off my chair. He climbs up the back of my chair, giggling his little brains out and them jumps as far as he can. I am sitting here thinking of how good i really do have it. I like nothing more then to see my kids have this much joy in their eyes. He is soo happy...it is pure happiness. I for one second start to envy what little u have to do to make him happy. My kids are such great strengths for me. Especially when going through some hard times. Today, I needed a reminder, that Its "the simple things" that make it worth it...it makes my trials not go away..but at least for the moment, i am able to step back, and have joy.

As he is scaling the back of my chair, as if he is spider man...I hear these "noises"...Then with evertstep he makes..a little noice escapes. It then "clicks" in my brain that he is farting..and with every step he is making, a new little "fart" comes out....That is when we both start rollin...we are laughing soo hard, i cannot recover...

....And then we both get to experience joy and happiness...we are both laughing soo hard and soo long i think i need to stop typing and go find my inhaler...i am pretty sure i just gave myself an asthma attack!

Lots to Catch up on!

I am not sure why the blogging got put on the back burner. I guess with all the craziness of the holidays..having my family come and visit.(which was super duper fun)...and then heading out of town for Christmas I guess I have seriously slacked. I need to catch up on so much! In the meantime..i promise i will catch up eventually i just had to post this picture of the boys..




We went and saw Santa before we left town. The boys had been looking forward to it. Mr. C was telling the gavintaor all about santa and how cool he was. Lil Gavin was super excited. I mean the kid had been talking ForEVER about seeing santa and telling him what a good boy he had been. He was also super excited to ask for his "Batcave"!

We finally got down to see santa. On the way i was thinking that since lil gavin is now 3 he most likely would not scream on santa's lap. It actually kinda made me sad in a way...my baby is 3. I had a flashback from when conner was 3 and we saw santa and he LOVED him. He couldnt wait! I kinda think that 3 years old is the time when the kids really get into Santa Claus. The boys talked about him all the time. They could not wait. They were getting soo antsy waiting in line. They even drew him picture's of what they wanted...
Mr.C's

The gavinators


When it was the boys turn, lil G nervously looked at me..then lil gavinator started to hold my leg and hide behind it. Me, being the awesome parent that i am, pick the lil man up and set him on Santa's lap. Santa starts to chuckle... And well...sadly the pictures say it all!

I then went through memory lane with our pictures and ran into this from christmas time 2008:
Too funny!

And i could not leave out Mr. C from 2005! Whats even better is he didn't believe me when i told him he used to cry on santa's lap too...so when he saw this picture he started laughing and told me he was Mr. Crying pants!
