On Aug. 6th Cory lost his very first tooth. He wrote a note to the Tooth Fairy and she wrote him a note back, plus, the most important part, left him a dollar. I can't believe how fast he's growing up.
Well, after over a year, I finally finished the Twilight series last night. Loved all the books. I got stuck on New Moon for a while, definatly started out as my least favorite by far but ended pretty good. Kind of sad that they are over now. I guess I will have to do what the rest of my weird family has done and start on them again. I have a hard time reading books more than once, but I think I could give it a try. Now I just need to own them all so I don't have to keep borrowing Jessica's.
Well, the wedding came and went in such a blur. Seemed like it would take forever for it to get here then all of a sudden it was over. Quick thank you's to send out. Thank you to Sammie for doing my hair. Thank you to Naida for making my cake. Thank you to Marcie for being my maid of honor. Thank you to my Mom for making my boys look so handsome. Thank you to Nedra for making my girls look so beautiful. Thank you to Maryanne for making the most beautiful flower girl dresses. And thank you to EVERYONE for helping out with all the small details that a bride pays such close attention to on her wedding day that no one else ever notices or remembers! :D Oh! And of course, thank you to Marcie and Jen for being my photographers. I love all the pictures. They turned out so great! I hope everyone enjoys the slide show that I put together. Thank you to everyone that showed up and to those that couldn't but were there in spirit. I love you all so much. Thank you for being part of the most wonderful day of my life. I still can't believe that I'm married to the most wonderful man and my bestest friend. Thank you thank you thank you everyone. I really can't thank you enough.
Just wanted to take a sec to let you guys know that I'll have posts on the wedding and honeymoon up pretty soon. Just waiting on some pictures and the time to do it! hehe
Wow stress! I can't believe that it's my wedding tomorrow. I've got so much to do today yet here I sit at my computer blabbing on. I think I'm ready but the stress is coming from that freakin' nagging voice telling me I've forgotten somthing. I must say that I'm way excited to see everyone tomorrow. I hope that lots of people come to the reception. I've been making list after list of things that need to be done. Problem is that I loose one list so I have to start another one. Ya, I'm super organized. I just want it to turn out nice and for everyone to have a really good time :)
Happy Independance Day, all!! Our little family had such a good time last night. My dad, Mike and his wife Tammy are down here from Brigham City for a little vacation. They have a time share that they use in St. George each summer. We invited them over for a BBQ and to watch fireworks last night. I took TONS of pictures. (check out the slide show.) When Mike and Tammy showed up, we ate ribs, potato salad and chips. Then we let the kids play with sparklers for a while. I found a slow setting on my camera and it made it look like the kids were making fire ropes. Once it started getting a little darker, we lit a small variaty of fountain fireworks in our back yard. After those were all done, we moved to the front yard, ate icecream sandwiches and waited for the big fireworks to start. Enoch puts on an amazing firework show every year. I'm so impressed with them for being such a small town. The kids had a blast. "Ooos" and "Ahhhs" after every one. Lilly would scream "My favorite color!!" after every firework that was set off. Matthew wasn't too sure about the ones that were really loud, but he found a nice safe spot on dad's lap and he was good. After the show, we went back into the house for a while to talk and Mike and Tammy got the kids all wound up. They had such a good time. After they got them all wound up and tired out, Tammy and Mike tucked the kids into bed. The kids thought that was such a treat. It was such a fun night. We are all going to go down to St. George tomorrow to go swimming at the condo that they are staying at. The kids are really looking forward to it.
I grew up... well all over the place. In 2002 my life was changed forever with the birth of my first child, Cory. He is my little angel. Then in 2007 I was blessed with another baby boy, Matthew. My kids are my everything. On July 10, 2009 I married my soul mate and best friend. He has provided me with 2 of the most beautiful little girls in the world. Cassidy and Lilly. I love my children, my husband, and my life. I am lucky enough to be able to be a stay at home mom and raise my kids. I also started selling AVON on the side. It's been fun. I love my family so much. They are all so important to me.
