Looking out the Window.


Do you ever just sit at your window wondering what all is happening in the world?
You hear it on the news, but do you ever just wonder?
You sit there and look at the trees and wonder what it would be like... to be a tree outside for every good, bad, and awful day.
Have all of these leaves and then BAM bare naked in winter cold, or just stare into the sky and wonder if there really is life on other planets or ALIENS just cruising through space without a care in the world.
Look at houses up on the mountain tops and wonder how people can afford those big houses? Imagine that you are in one of those with a bathroom that has a nice huge tub in the middle of the room with wife and husband showers.
A deck that goes all the way around the house with B*E*A*U*T*IFUL view, A pool big enough for all your neighbors on the block. A kitchen that any house wife would dream of.
Then sitting on your laptop you look out your window agian and come back to reality and realize you are you are day dreaming again and hear your son yelling mom mom mom *sorry son was not all there.* So your still sitting there looking out the window and your neighbors are moved out cause they couldn't afford their house payment so now you have no one to talk to, but yourself.
Then you get to thinking this might not be a big house on the mountain tops, but it is a house that my family can start in, so you go next door to talk to the landlord and tell him you are interested in this home and he tells you how soon you want to get in... then life comes at you fast and you remember your trying to fix your credit so you can get in home. So you have to explain to the guy how much of a lame ass you are because you might not qualify for the loan, but you are ready to move, and then you stand there waiting for him to say something like *well i think I'm might have someone else move in* just so the landlord doesn't feel guilty kicking you out of the way so he can finish getting the house appraised* but instead says we can work something out. Are my ears hearing right did you just say you can help and would like for us to move in YAHOO!!! i think there is a light at the end of this dreadful tunnel.
So you call your loan officer and tell him about this house that is next door to your moms and that you really want to get into it and again you are waiting for the DENY part of the conversation, but OH MY GOSH he tells you "How about we try and get you into this home in 45 days" he tells you what you need to do and like lightning i was on it like no other.
Is there actually something good happening in life?.....(mom mom can i have a snack) Nope cause you just woke up from day dreaming out your window and realize that you were playing everything out in your mind hoping that this how it will happen back to reality back in your moms house, watching the computer screen and that line that keeps blinking at ya waiting for you to write more..............but what else is there that you can say? Things happen for a reason, and tomorrow I'm going to talk to that landlord and see what we can do, because living with mom and having a husband and son living in the same house as your mom is not working out at all.

*There is light at the end of every ones tunnel, everyone day dreams, thinks and wishes* Eventually the good things that happen to bad people will some day happen to the good. :)

Kaydens School Birthday party.

Kayden had a Birthday party at School today so last night after we put Kayden to bed we went to Walmart *No Kayden wasn't home alone :)* and went and bought some stuff for a goody bag. *Dots-Halloween popcorn balls-bubbles-and spiders.* I love it when Chris helps me with projects. He makes it so much more fun when doing it. :)
So he just had to be in the pictures so here is the before picture. :) As you can see there is a lot. He has between 25 and 30 kids in his class just depending on how many are absent.
FINISHED it only took about an hour to do them so not to bad. :)

Cute little baggies. Chris and i Both got to go to class with him today. Chris liked going, he says he will take a few of my co-op days for me. So I'm guessing he likes being in the class with all those kids.

Kaydens Birthday!!

This was the BEST DAY EVER!!! Kayden's birthday was on a really good weekend and everything worked out perfect. October 18Th was Kayden's birthday in the morning we woke up and went to Wheeler Farm they had a scarecrow fest thing there for the kids, they got to pick a pumpkin, make a scarecrow, and go on a wagon ride. This was a fun activity i loved it the most cause he wasn't bored and wasn't asking every 5 min if it was time for his birthday yet. :) Looking for a pumpkin. :) He was trying to find the best one..
I think he found it.
Love the way had the kids decorate them, last year it was with paint this worked out a lot better.
THE ZOO
We got to go to the zoo. :) they were having some kind of thing going on so we got to go to that. :) Saturday October 25Th they are having a zoo spook thing so if you live in Utah this might be something fun to do with the family. :)
Kaydens Party.

So this is where we finally had the party. AT CABELAS who would of thought a hunting/sporting goods place would have birthdays there. :) i had my IFFS about this i didn't want it to turn out DUMB and then Kayden feel disappointed, but it worked out great it was a lot of fun. Chris brother came and it is hard to get him to come to family innings just cause he is stubborn, but it was nice to see his family there and enjoying time with Chris's family. :)
cup cakes YUMMY WELL kinda i don't like cake that much, but these turned out really good. :)
Kayden and Dad shooting the guns.
Birthday present time. :) He loved the gifts that e got. :) I'm glad he has such a good family to come and support him even though there a few people that cant get along, they still came to be with Kayden. :) in the end this all worked out GREAT. Kayden said after everyone left I'M SO LUCKY I am going to tell everybody about this. :)

What to do when you dont know what to do.

So Chris and I for the first time in along time have been stuck at home with not knowing what to do!!!! Kayden is gone to his grandmas for the weekend. It is a lot better to have your kids around then you have excuses to be goofy and do the kid stuff you know. I have realized that when you are dating you can do some fun things you know, but when you meet someone who has a kid/or get married and have kids it just isn't the same as when you were dating. If your kid/kids are not around you just don't know what to do its as if you are lost without them. So this is what i am going to do..... post a comment of things you would do if you didn't have your kids or if you don't have kids what do you do when you go on dates!!!! I want to know what you do. Maybe this will give Chris and I some ideas for the next time we get stuck at home. :)

Best Husband Ever!!


So sense Kayden started School Kayden and I have been getting up earlier then usual and making breakfast for all of us which we don't do very often. Kayden Chris and i before school started we all would sleep in tell 11 i know BAD!! but that's just how it was so we missed breakfast and had lunch. anyway so this time on Friday sense Kayden doesn't have school i got to sleep in. So without me knowing it Chris woke up before me and decided that he was going to make me some breakfast sense i would make it before, so he went and bought an electric skillet from bed bath and beyond so he could fry potatoes and make some french toast. I was supposed to stay in bed so he could bring it to me, but i had already gotten up, but it was really cute... I love this guy he is so sweet to me and WOW I'm glad i married him. Chris works hard and even though he works nights and it gets hard sometimes he still wakes up early in the morning to take Kayden to school with me, and spends the day with me before he goes back to work. HUM if that isn't love i don't know what it is.

Blog Shy??

Well don't be the whole point of having a blog is to check out what all has to say. Right? My blog is open to all so feel free to EXPLORE!!!! and write what you think, no need to leave a comment and feel weird about it. :) I hope you like what you read and see.

Circus

So every year well sense i met Chris we have gone to the Circus. I love going, well sometimes i mean some of the stuff is kind of boring. What ever happened to circuses being outside? Wait were they ever outside? Wow i guess that tells you the last time i went to one when i was younger. Well anyway this year we were........ ALL!!!! the way at the top of the Energy solutions Arena YEAH!! kind of scary because i felt like if i went to look down i was going roll off and fall down to the next level on top of people. ~I know SCARY! ~ Well as you know I'm still alive and kicking and did not fall of the top level.
Before the Circus started you could go down to the floor and see a pre show. :) it was fun. *go get the autographs see the clowns and watch Kayden run from them* i tell you what Kayden is scared of them that's for sure.
Can you believe i paid $10 bucks just for a snow cone in an Elephant cup??? :O I know i could of went to 7-11 and got 7 or 8 SLURPEE'S for that price. oh well a smile on that kids face is all it took for me. :)
This was the est part the ending. When they had 8 bullet bike drivers in one cage driving around & around & around. I was just waiting for something to happen. *Luckily nothing happened. *

CornBelly's Corn Maze.

On Saturday we went to Thanksgiving Point i love this place they always have cute events going on and the place just really pretty, all i got to say is if you live in Utah or you are visiting this is a good place to go if they have events going on or if you want to take pictures. :)

They had the cow ride i was to big for this ride unfortunately, but Kayden liked it. :) it is kind of like the hay ride but only its cows being pulled by a tractor.

I love this guy its a no wonder i married him. SHWEET.

They had 3 different mazes there one for the kiddos they had a David Archeleta corn maze *Yes the maze was made to look like David Archaleta although if you wanted to see it you had to fly in the plane.* and of course the HAUNTED MAZE OOOO scary. This place was alt of fun. I cant wait to go to more corn mazes i just love whole getting lost thing and walking around to find a way out *i know I'm weird*

Kaydens 1st Field Trip

So we have all been to the zoo before, but i mean when it is your first field trip who cares. :) So as you can tell Kaydens first fielt trip was to the zoo. Chris and I both got to go with Kayden and his friends Nickolas. The two of them were paired together so we only had to watch two kiddos thank goodness. I dont know that i could handle more then that. I ENVY teachers who have the whole class. :)

I love this Picture they both have thier cheesy GRINS> :)
SHWEET you know your kids are getting older when they start going on field trips.

Kayden and Nickolas :) I love this gorilla thing, i think just about every time i go to the zoo there is a gorilla picture. :) I should put them together it could be like one of those as they grow up type of things. TEAHE
