It's a new day!!!

I cannot believe it has been more than a year since I have wrote on this blog!! It just shows where the time has gone. Life has been so good I have started the year off great things have been so busy but I am so blessed with everything I have and everyone around me. ALot has happened this year I got promoted to supervisor at R.C.Willey, also I became certified to do eye lash extentions and it has been really fun I really didn't think I would enjoy doing it but I really do I am so OCD about everything that It has been fun to see people s faces that get them on and how much they love it..I have also been doing really well at reading the scriptures I can't believe how much of an impact it has made on my family we are so blessed and I know alot of it has been because we are doing what is right by reading together..This next month I am running another marathon down in California in Ocean side I can't tell you how much I have grown to love running it justs makes me feel so good the endorphins kick in and it just helps with the stress in my life. It makes such a big difference on me too. Raising four kids, working,taking care of my family is very stressful but just going out side and running looking at everything around you its just a rush.. I can't wait to be right next to the Ocean running I am such a beach girl I can't wait to be there. I am on such a high lately so much I have been working on and getting accomplished I am so excited to see everything that I have been wanting to work on getting done..Yeah I am going to have bad days and believe me have had alot of them but I want to focus on being a better me so I can be a better mother, wife, daughter,sister. I am greatful for everday that I can wake up and be blessed with one amazing husband,four beautiful kids and a new look on life...right its a new day.....

Kids pictures....I love my babies...

The Ogden Marathon.

Well I did it!!! I ran my first marathon. And

I can't tell you how many times I tried talking

my self out of it..It was so awesome I am so glad I

did it..My friend shauna and I have been training

non stop since october and we both can't believe

it came and gone..I am so glad I had her to train

with cause I know there is no way I would have done

it with out her..I also got to run with my little

sister and my step mom and her sister it was such

a blast we stayed in the hotel the night before and went

out to dinner and just relaxed. The next morning we got

up at4 in the morning and the bus took us up to the mountain

it was insane I couldn't believe how many people were up there

it got me all excited..When the gun shot off

we waited a minute and then we started running I stayed

at a good pace, I told my self I want to run this marathon

in 4 hours and 30 minutes..I never thought I would

do it but I never stopped running until I hit a wall at

23 miles WOW!!!!

I was like r u serious I still have 3.2 miles

left to run..I was seriously dead but this nice guy kept pushing

me the whole way he was so nice..

I know I couldn't have pushed my

self without him. I called Nate and my dad at mile

25 and told them I

was close and the last mile was the best everyone was pushing you telling

you..come on your almost there...

And to my suprise I beat my goal

I ran the whole marathon in 4 hours and 19 minutes...I was shocked

seriously and I was so excited to see everyone there supporting me.

I have the best family and friends in the whole world. And most

of all a wonderful husband he

brought my four kids all by himself

did the girls hair as you can tell from the picture above..lol I love it

and he is the reason I ran as fast as I did..I don't know if

there is another marathon in the future but there

might be a triatholon well see..

Spring is Here...

Spring is my favorite time of year. I don't know

if it's we have many birthdays in our house, or if it's

the flowers coming up and everything getting green, the

many easter egg hunts and baskets..I really do love

this time of year..But most of all I am so greatful

for the atonement of Christ. We had an amazing

family home evening and I was debating how to

teach the kids the atonement just because it is

even hard for me to understand but I found a really

cute way. And the kids this time were so reverant

listening to the lesson. I don't know if it was me

getting choked up and crying or if the spirit was

really strong..I am so greatful for this time of

year.

Family night planned a great lesson on the atonement.

the kids painted eggs afterwards

The kids at my dads and mom's house for

the annual easter egg hunt

Feeling GUILTY...

So lately I have been having to work alot of Overtime for my job so it feels like I have been on the computer endlessly..I honestly feel like a bad mom...The T.V. is my kids entertainment and parent these days...Well monday morning I was just about to go work on my computer and my little four year old Jordan looks up at me and says " Mom can't you just hang out with me you are always on the computer. " I stopped what I was doing and looked at him and said you know what your right I am not going to work today we are going to go to the store and get a movie and stop at mcdonald and come home and watch it together..Of course he picked out Astro boy but you know what I loved every minute of it. we both got under the blanket and layed on the couch and watched the movie.Even Katelyn layed with us it was so nice and so needed I think as a mom I have been starting to feel like I have needed to work I don't know if I get nervous because of the economy and everything happening that I need to save up but I was talking to one of my friends who is always doing fun things with her kids and her kids are so good and she has such a good relationship with them. I started looking at my kids and they are wild at times and always complaining..But I know that my kids act out cause they want attention lets just say it's been crazy and she had the best advise..She said we only have this little amount of time with these kids.. and then they start going to school and then they want to just be with there friends..Enjoy the time you have with them because it will be gone before you know it...So true Money isn't everything..I need to start taking her advise as long as we are living how we are suppose to and paying our tithing everything will fall into place..I have totally forgetten the important things in life and money shouldn't be one of them..Yeah I have to work but I think my Overtime days are done..Yeah the money is nice but my kids are more important...Sorry such a downer post but I honestly think that is why I have been down alot I am sick of looking at the computer..Now that spring is here I am going to start having fun and get out of my house. here is to Thomas S. Monson advise Enjoy the Journey!!! which is what I am going to do I love my kids so much and I don't want them to remember me as my mom always is working..I want them to remember all the little things my mom did with me..
