With everything from the kids, to the yard, to the house cleaning, I am one pooped mama. I can't sit still really in the beginnings of summer. I love to be outside and either gardening or relaxing. The kids had fun just the other day. Our cat Applejack just became mama to three kitties right under our deck. They had the full experience of where do babies come from. Needless to say we are the proud owners of Marmalade, Cinnamon stick (this one was Weston's name) and Smokey. It is fun to see the kids go out and take good care of the mama.... since how before Brendan would purposely try to scare the thing. He is very gentle with these and it's fun. Even Taylee likes to plop on the deck to check out what is going on. Malaree is about done with the 1st grade. She has done very well with her school work this year and loves to read. I wish I could get her that enthused about chores. :) She will be getting her award soon for 1st place in the science fair for her grade. Her dad and I are very proud of her. Brendan, he is the one I have to get after. We did find out that he has Mrs. Allen for Kindergarten next year and that he will be in the afternoon....Yay cuz he doesn't do mornings! I do love the kid and his way of tying things up. He is smart just if he would listen and comprehend things a little better. My little miss Taylee bug, I have to say she is no way anything like Malaree was. Malaree could be entertained for hours by herself. Not with Taylee. I feel her tug on my pants quite often wanting up. She can put up a fight though. Little stinker knows how to work the ropes at this household. James is busy lately going on a lot of trips with steeples. He works hard for our family and I love him for that. When he is home he is a great dad to our kids and they love to spend time with him. I love all my family! They are what holds "me" together. </div>Mohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09930618486355679992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2867082287035086684.post-89779937765516057112012-04-03T16:05:00.000-07:002012-04-03T16:05:04.955-07:00Loving the Spring<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well I guess I better update a little bit. Congrats to my Nephew Colten and <u><strong>my new Niece</strong></u> Sharlee on getting married. So excited for them. After their wedding things here slowed down a bit. I love how the tulips are starting to come up and the buds are starting to form on all the trees. I love to be outside.. who doesn't. Work has been good. The past Fridays have been busy and it makes the day go that much faster. I found one of my roommates I haven't seen for 16+ years. She called me and it was good to catch up on our college days. This week is Easter and is one of my favorite holidays. We will be taking the kids to the Easter egg hunt and then we are taking them to the Baby Animal Days over in Logan. My roomie, who I just mentioned, will have her baby bear cubs there. So excited to see her after all this time. Tomorrow my Brendan will be going on a trip with his dad. They are heading to Oregon. He is so excited to go with him. Malaree and I can have some time together doing what we want with no boys. YAY! Well that about catches things up . This is more or less an easier way for me to journal my stuff, so till next time. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Well February is now half over and here sits the pictures not developed once again. I think I am the mother of the year. I love my kids and the adventures we go on every day. I can't say that every day is just picture perfect but it is what it is. It is hard to believe that my Brendan will soon be getting ready for Kindergarten, Malaree will be baptized, and my Taylee well she is finally mobile and doesn't want anyone getting in her way. They grow up way too fast. I love them to pieces and hopefully they realize this. </span><br />

This week has been a roller coaster of emotions for me. I am having a hard time forgiving and forgetting. I have been taught these two principles but it is something that is going to take time for me. I wish people realized that sometimes you need to be careful with what you do and say... that when someone is at the lowest point in their life you don't kick them and keep kicking them. It hurts. I have always tried to be a peacemaker. I hate conflict and always have. It's going to take time for me to heal and eventually forgive. I love you Geneice! You have always been there for me and always will. Hang in there and smile always! Tomorrow's gotta be better! <br />

Where did my January go to? Already the dreaded holiday is coming up. I guess it is better to get it over with and move on right? I have reflected a lot lately on family. I am so glad I was raised up knowing I am loved. My parents didn't have to give me everything to show me they loved me. Instead they did things with me to show their love. I enjoyed all the camping trips and the reunions, being with cousins and other relatives. I have had a wonderful life thus far and continue to be grateful for life. I love my kids and watching them all grow in their own ways. Each of them having their own talents and interests. I love my husband for the things he does with the kids to teach them. All in all I am grateful for everything I have. I just need to thank my Heavenly Father more for it. </div>Mohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09930618486355679992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2867082287035086684.post-67531589571610195742012-01-11T10:30:00.000-08:002012-01-11T10:30:22.112-08:00Me again<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Been a long time since I got on here and look....2012. Where did the year go? Lots has happened since I last was on here. My Taylee Ann turned one year old and now is starting to talk and walk and be sooo much fun. Malaree turned 7 and we had a big birthday party for her. Aunt Neicy surprised her with getting her ears pierced. Holdiday came and went with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and of course Christmas. I must have blinked because they all went by so fast don't know if I really got to enjoy them. Now it is 2012 and I have a lot of things on my list of "want to do's". 1- I want to go to the temple more, 2- I want to read all the way through the book of mormon ( I will do this) 3- Less profanity... yes I have a mouth on me and I know it gets out of hand. I have done pretty good so far with this. 4- Play with my kids a little more and just have fun. 5-Go on a date with my hubby once a month at least. (This is a must) everything else can just run its course like normal. Grateful for my calling in church. I am activity day leader for the 8-9 year old girls. They make me smile and are really fun. We learn together. I love my family especially my husband and everything he does for me and my family. Looking forward to a good and happy year. Hope everyone else has a great one as well. </div>Mohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09930618486355679992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2867082287035086684.post-10291792330145690232011-09-01T09:14:00.000-07:002011-09-01T09:14:16.191-07:00School<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

Malaree is now officially a first grader. It was a jolt to her system to be up and at em at 6:30. All Fielding walkers now have to be bussed down to the old Garland School. We have had nothing but chaos with that whole situation. Hopefully things will get better. I finally got smart and I send her to school with Geneice and Jed, then she rides home on the bus. As for me here well I thought things would be a little more calmer .... it is in a way but I think Taylee misses her sister during the day. Brendan is better by far when Malaree is at school. I am still gardening and reaping the harvest. We are so blessed to have a garden and the means to take care of it. It being Sept today I absolutely LOVE FALL. It is beautiful and I love the cool in the air at night. </span></div></div>Mohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09930618486355679992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2867082287035086684.post-80004087459674562312011-08-26T09:33:00.000-07:002011-08-26T09:33:49.910-07:00Fair Days<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxJCOGZ5ZL_terzPeDHn5jpHr5oR-_Epm-ibtgNb17j7Zoi60QFuhg4TupFQe23Dm9oMto3AmMaNoomG5L8beStQ_zOxd9JBBnwi2iqxQk_vw7GyrRCBOH7o0exvwDOoRZN4isoF-M-_U/s1600/100_3055.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" qaa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxJCOGZ5ZL_terzPeDHn5jpHr5oR-_Epm-ibtgNb17j7Zoi60QFuhg4TupFQe23Dm9oMto3AmMaNoomG5L8beStQ_zOxd9JBBnwi2iqxQk_vw7GyrRCBOH7o0exvwDOoRZN4isoF-M-_U/s320/100_3055.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Malaree and her prize winning PetuniasMohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09930618486355679992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2867082287035086684.post-74825393037833951722011-08-26T00:12:00.000-07:002011-08-26T00:12:31.862-07:00Box Elder County Fair<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><tbody>

We left Saturday and drove up to Island Park where we took the kiddos to Big Springs, a family favorite of ours to go. We went to feed fish but ended up feeding a lot of the seagulls and a few muskrats. We took them up to Johnny Sacks cabin and let them go through it. <br />
Next we drove up to West Yellowstone where we stayed at the Comfort Hotel. We then went and cruised the shops in West and let the kids get their souviners. <br />

We took the lower route heading out to Cody. At first didn't see much . Did see the Yellowstone lake where the kids got to get out and throw rocks. <br />

In all the years of going to Yellowstone I have <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><u>NEVER</u></span> seen a grizzly bear. Well not this year. We spotted a mama and two cubs in Hayden Valley on our way up the northern loop. I was excited!! Kids Had no idea why. We spotted the mountain sheep on the high cliffs. There were 5 and I think they were females and babies.<br />
Next we went up to Mammoth on the north end. We saw a Coyote run right pass people and I think they thought it was a dog. We took a break and enjoyed an ice cream. Taylee liked that idea. On the way back to West we spotted another Coyote and more bison. It was an exciting day for me. Loved seeing the bears.Mohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09930618486355679992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2867082287035086684.post-60616971438553568472011-08-09T23:01:00.000-07:002011-08-09T23:01:48.093-07:00Martin Harris PageantHad the opportunity to go to the Martin Harris pageant in Clarkston this evening with my mom and dad, Geneice, Weston, and my Malaree. Boy things have changed in that pageant. We used to go over to it all the time because it talked about my great-great grandma Annie Jardine who met Martin Harris as a little girl. Now they pretty well have cut her out of the play and focused mainly on Martin...as it should be I guess since it is called the Martin Harris pageant. Still I remember hearing her name in the pageant and how proud I was to be a relative of her and to have part of her name as my own. I love Clarkston!! Needless to say the pageant was good... not as long as it used to be...thank heavens you get tb after too much sitting. We should all be grateful for our ancestors and the legacy they left for us.

To me it's just an ordinary day. I still have to get up and fix the kids breakfast, I still have to get my dishes done. I do however love to see what the kids come up with for gifts. All day long you can sense they are up to something. Well the unveiling finally came. Brendan gave me a piece of paper folded and at first said it was a telescope...then later changed his mind and said it was something to go on my hand. Malaree had gathered up beads from her bedroom and put them in a baggie for me so I can put together a bracelet. The usual cards came and of course the Dr. pepper offerings.It's a good thing I am not a drinker of hard substances. I have enough D.P. to last me awhile...or a few days at least.</span> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">As the famous song goes though, I am another day older and deeper in debt. Well here's to one more day still here. Thanks for the Birthday wishes. </span>Mohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09930618486355679992noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2867082287035086684.post-1493627219149383722011-08-03T14:46:00.000-07:002011-08-03T14:46:15.116-07:00Camping<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC9TFr6B6fZTiShdLD3KLutZju3OVjuyRudjTOGIAwBNUsG61jsxh8OQkK-kOKyXwmqJmr7KawSgVIkdWii_Sjp6FnkrKZBzjjLIfA39eSUqQECEVNiPhhLm4gTvCh9jdfDYElKSFqIN4/s1600/100_2916.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC9TFr6B6fZTiShdLD3KLutZju3OVjuyRudjTOGIAwBNUsG61jsxh8OQkK-kOKyXwmqJmr7KawSgVIkdWii_Sjp6FnkrKZBzjjLIfA39eSUqQECEVNiPhhLm4gTvCh9jdfDYElKSFqIN4/s200/100_2916.JPG" t$="true" width="200" /></a>We went camping over the 24th of July. It was Taylee's first camping experience. The mosquitos quite enjoyed her. We had to put on this bandana so they would quit getting her face. Needless to say she loved it so she must belong. We loved camping up there and had a lot of fun. </div>Mohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09930618486355679992noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2867082287035086684.post-76899507424205920002011-08-02T22:42:00.000-07:002011-08-02T22:42:34.710-07:00Dazed and ConfusedSo I still am a little unsure of this whole blogging thing.. but hopefully the more I play around with it the better I get at it.
