Merry Christmas to everyone!!

It was a great Christmas this year for everyone. Everyone got what they really wanted. I got my GPS that I have been wanting for a while and also a nice vacuum also that I have been wanting for a long time.

I think we all deserved to have a great Christmas since we had such a crappy year.

Rocky's loot

Brody's loot

We started Christmas on Christmas Eve. Grandma and Grandpa Harmon came over and gave all the grandkids gifts and also had dinner with us. So did Taylor and her family, Aunt Rachelle, Uncle Quin and Stephanie, Kenny, and Trena, Shane, and Aaron, and Aunt Shirley and Uncle Norton. Then on Christmas Day we started the day at 7 in the morning and opened presents at home with Chris' parents then we went to my mom's house and had breakfast there while opening presents there and then we came home and had Taylor and her family over again including Trena, Shane, and Aaron and Uncle Kenny and opened more gifts from Taylor and had dinner. Overall it was one busy Christmas weekend but a good one because all the boys got everything that they have been wanting and so did me and Chris. I think we all deserved it after going through a rough year. I wonder what 2011 is going to bring us but all I am hoping is that 2011 is an AWESOME year. Thanks to all my family for giving me a great Christmas. I hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. :)

Brody's 2 year old checkup

Brody had his two year old checkup today. He weighs 26 pounds and 8 oz in the 34% and he is 35.25 inches long in the 74%. He is doing so good and developing right and while we were at the doctor's office we noticed that he is getting another tooth in, so that is exciting. We have been waiting for these teeth for a while and now they are finally starting to come in. He only got one shot and he doesn't need anymore until he starts kindergarten.

Brody is 2!

Brody Glen Harmon is now 2! Where has the time gone? I swear he just turned 1 yesterday. We celebrated his birthday Toy Story theme. Lately he has been loving Toy Story especially Rex. We had it at Nana's and Papa's house since we are living here now and plus we didn't have any money to do it anywhere else. And plus it was a lot easier. All the people that were there were: Mommy, Daddy, Rocky, Nana, Papa, Uncle Kenny, Trena, Aaron, Aunt Johanna and her family, Aunt Jordan and her family, Nana Heckert, Uncle Justin, Stephanie Harmon and her family and Grandma and Grandpa Harmon. It was a really good party. He got some good presents.

Then after the party we went to Burger Stop to go on a Hayride to see the lights at the Layton Park and also to see Santa. I think it was a good day overall and I think Brody really enjoyed his birthday. You can tell that he knew it was his birthday because when all the guests got to the house he would get a huge smile on his face because he knew that they were there for him. And after the day he gave everyone a hug to thank them. He is getting so big!

What's been going on.

Well we lost our house. The thing that upsets me the most is we just went to pre-trail and the judge wouldn't even listen to us. By the time I got out of the court I was in tears, it just wasn't fair. We couldn't even decide on a payment plan with the judge, we basically have to talk to the attorney and see if there is anything we can work out. They were originally going to give us three days to get out but the judge gave us more time, we were suppose to be out by the 10th. The pre-trail was last Thursday and we were out by Sunday. We bust our butts all weekend because we had that mind set that we just wanted to get out in time. Its kinda sad because I am really going to miss that place, we only spent a year in there and we fought so hard to get it. But the thing that I am looking at is we never wanted this to happen, things just happen in life and you just have to roll with the punches. The other thing I am looking at is I think we could of done better and maybe it wasn't the right time to have our own place. We need to get our feet planted on the ground again and get settled and then things will just fall into place. I am so thankful that Chris' parents are letting us stay at their place until we get our feet on the ground. I couldn't do it without wonderful family and friends in my life. I just want to make it through the holidays and then after that focus on getting a place. Right now its not really important to me because at least we have a roof over our heads.

Other than that we just have been trying to celebrate the holiday season and give our kids the best Christmas ever. We went to Chris' mom's family Christmas party last Saturday and that was really fun. We all had a fun time spending time with family and friends.

Brody is no longer my baby anymore. He is now in a big boy's bed and he is going to be 2 on Saturday, time goes by too fast. Its pretty sad but rewarding at the same time. I am so thankful that he growing up healthy. He is getting to be my little smarty pants just like his brother.

Rocky on the other hand is really enjoying school. He loves his teacher and his friends. He is always proud of what he does in school and it makes me so proud of him. He has a wonderful teacher and I wouldn't want it any other way.

I am still working at Western Wats but they changed the name to Opinionology. I have a feeling that I am going to be working there for quite a while because I am trying to find a new job that is more dependable and reliable but it isn't working. Some times they don't even have projects so we get sent home and we don't even go in. I want a better job for me and my family because this job isn't cutting it anymore.

Chris is still trying his hardest to find a job but he is having a hard time also. This economy really sucks and I hope it changes soon because I don't know how much more we can take. He is staying positive and helping me with the boys while I am working. I am so grateful for everything that he does. He works so hard to make his family happy.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and be thankful for the simple things in life because you never know when they will be taken away from you. I know I am a lot thankful for the simple things in life and I am trying my hardest to stay positive. That is all that we could do right now.

Donations

I would hate to ask anyone this since the holidays are coming up but I am running out of options. We are in the process of losing our house. No one knows how bad it really is here. We try to hide it but things are not looking up fast enough for us. On Thursday we got a 3 day summon from an attorney for our rent, and that was pretty scary. And then we got a notice from the attorney that they have request a hearing for an eviction. I really don't want to lose my house, I am thinking of my kids here. I am ready to fight for my house and I am not ready to lose it. We fought just as hard to get into this place and I am not ready to lose it without a fight. We need to come up with 3,832 on our rent and we don't know how we are going to pull that off. We have tried everything. Chris has been looking for a job and no one would hire him because he either has too much experience or not enough. We tried many places to get emergency funding and they don't have funding until January. And then my job is not paying enough to make ends meet. We are digging ourselves in a deeper hole and we don't know how to get ourselves out of it. If anyone can donate anything I would really appreciate it, I have no one else to turn to then you guys. Thanks for your time!

Park City!

We went to Park City for my birthday weekend, which was October 23th. We only spent a night there but it was so worth it. Me, Chris, Chris' parents, Trena (Chris' sister) and her husband Shane and her son Aaron, Chris grandparents, Aunt Elise, Aunt Annette and her family, and Uncle Quin and his family was all that came down and spent some family time together. It was nice to get away for my birthday and it was also nice being with the family. We had so much fun there we didn't want to come back. We are definitely going to go back. Chris grandparents own some of the buildings there and they said whenever we want to go up there we can and we can just call them up and tell them when.

Some of the view from our room!

Some of our room. It looked more like an apartment

There is Brody in the door way

Left to right-Trena, Me, Grandma Marilyn, Rocky, and Aaron

cake for my birthday

Chris and the boys in the pool. I couldn't join them

because I was on my time of month :(

When we first got there we had to stay in Grandma and Grandpa's room because our room wasn't quite ready yet. So we just sat and talk and Grandpa gave us a tour around the building. Annette and her family and Aunt Elise were already there because they got there earlier in the week so they were sitting down playing a game when we got there. We also had dinner in their room before we got to our room. When we finally got to our room we got settled in and decided take the boys to the game room so they could play for a little bit then after that everyone went swimming. I felt bad because I couldn't go swimming but I enjoyed watching them. Then after that we all did our own thing. Chris went and played a little pool with the guys and when he got back I went and hung out with Aunt Elise and we had a really good game of ping pong. That was one crazy night with all of us sleeping in one area. Me and Chris slept out on the big pull out couch, Rocky slept on an air mattress, Trena and Shane slept on a pull out bed from the kitchen table, Aaron slept out on the pull out small couch and Brody slept in a play pen. The only ones that really got a comfy bed was mom and dad. We all slept ok. The boys were so good the whole time we were there, I was so proud of them. Brody slept the best out of everyone and I was really surprised because that was his first time not sleeping in his crib. Trena was so worried that one of our boys would be the ones snoring but her son was the noisy one....lol Don't worry the other family members either went home because there were there for a while or they had their own rooms so it was only us in that one room that I mentioned. Overall it was a great time with the family, can't wait to do it again!!

Happy Halloween 2010

This Halloween was a busy one. On Friday we went to A Monster Bash at Central Davis Jr. High. They had carnival there, blow up bounce houses and refreshments and it was all free. I haven't been there in a long time. I went to school there, so it was nice to come back for a little bit. Then on Saturday we went to Toys R. Us for their Halloween thing, went to my work Halloween party and then we went to Trunk or Treat and then we went to the mall. It was so wet and cold that we didn't go door to door this year because by the time we were done with the mall the kids were tired and so were the parents...lol And plus I didn't take little kids out when it was so cold. We all had fun this year and I can't wait for next year.

Me as a fairy, Chris as The Million dollar man

Brody as a puppy and Rocky as Buzz Lightyear

Its that time again for an update!

Well things are started to look up for us. I got a job at this place called Western Wats. I started yesterday. Western Wats is a call center that does Telephone surveys on the phone. I just read surveys on the computer and ask for that certain person's opinion. We are not a telemarketing company because we never sale anything. Its a really easy job, a lot of talking though. I had some really nice people on the phone last night. I think I am going to like this job. It was easy for me to get. After more than a year of searching and trying to find a job I finally found one and it wasn't even hard to get. Its amazing how the simplest jobs you can get like that. I am very thankful to finally have a job and be able to support my family.

Chris kinda has a job lined up too. He is doing some graphic design work for one of my friends. My friend George runs this Vintage Travel business and needs someone to design the ads. Chris is very good at that. We have been searching for a long time to get a job in a field that we went to school for but no one would hire us because we didn't have 2-4 years of experience so with Chris doing this it will help him get some experience. George is going to pay a good sum of money to do these ads and then go from there and see what more he can do. I have a feeling that things are going to be good for us. It just seems like since he got this job working for George people been asking Chris to do graphic design work from left to right and we are very thankful for that. Maybe this is the time for me to go to work and for Chris to stay home with the kids and work on his career. I am glad things are finally looking up for us.

Rocky is loving kindergarten. He is so excited to go to school everyday. He is learning so much and we can already see that. His brother misses him but he knows that Rocky will always come back home. I am glad that Rocky is loving school and doing so well in it.

Brody is getting smarter and smarter everyday. He is learning new words everyday. Its amazing how much he is learning just off of his big brother. I can't believe he is going to be 2 in December. They grow up so fast! I am so proud of both my boys for doing so well in life already. I hope they continued to do well and become the best adults they can be.

I want to thank everyone that stood by our side and supported us through everything. We couldn't of made it without our family and friends. I know we could of made it through because we are a strong family and nothing is going to tear us apart.

Rocky's first day of school

Even though school doesn't officially start until the 30th Rocky's school the Vae View Mustangs have this early start Kindergarten that starts today and ends on the 27th. I thought it was a great idea. Rocky did awesome! They had the kids in a separate room and the parents in a separate room for orientation. It didn't even phase him that I wasn't in the same room with him. He took it better than I did. I think he is going to do awesome with it.

Rocky on his first day. He really didn't want to get his picture taken and its not a really good picture.

Our first time in a parade

We had a opportunity to be in our parade. Chris' grandpa Art has this 1950 Ford Green Truck that he rebuilt and he asked us to be in it for the Clinton Heritage Days. It was a great time! We all had fun and the boys were so well behaved. This is something that the boys will remember forever! I am glad we had the chance to do it. Thanks Grandpa Art and Grandma Merilyn for giving us a chance to ride in a parade!

Us in the back of the truck before heading out!

4th of July weekend festives/Update

The one thing that I don't like about Utah is that if there is a holiday that is on a Sunday they have to change it to a different day. The only good thing about the 4th of July this year was we were able to spend it all weekend because different cities were having it different days. My thought on a holiday on Sunday is if no one wants to spend the holiday on a Sunday then they shouldn't but leave the holiday alone.

This was the first 4th of July in years that Chris was able to spend it with us. Due to circumstances. We started to 4th of July festives on Saturday. We woke up early and went to the Clearfield Parade. Clearfield always throws the best parades. Then we went to the Kaysville park and looked around there because the Fisher park in Clearfield wasn't doing anything until later on that day. Then after that we went to Chris' parents and had a BBQ and watched the fireworks in their backyard. It was a fun time with family and friends. I was so blessed to have my sister there with her family so it was great.

On Sunday we went to two BBQ's and went to our friend Luke's parents house and watched him light fireworks. No cities were doing anything on Sunday so we decided to have our own 4th of July because its still the 4th and you can't have the 4th without fireworks. We don't care if a holiday is on a Sunday we will celebrate it anyways because we want our kids to have the best time of every holiday.

Then yesterday; Monday we went to the Layton Parade and it was ok. Clearfield's was better. The Layton Parade wasn't even an hour long. Then we weren't doing much for that day because we were already practically burnt out by the time Monday came around. We tried to go to the Layton Fireworks later on in the day but that wasn't going to happen. It was complete meyham in Layton. I couldn't believe it! It was like the whole state was in Layton. We couldn't find a parking spot because they had the road blocked off by the library and Layton High school. Everywhere we turned we either saw a car or a person in the streets. See this is what happens when Layton is the only city that waits until Monday to celebrate the 4th. That made me so mad because everyone wanted to go to the Layton Fireworks. We were so frusterated that we ended up going to my mom's and watching them from there. We could barely see them but they were better than nothing. All in all it was a great and busy weekend. Constantly going. I was trying to make the best of it because we didn't know when Chris was going to have another 4th of July off so I wanted to have a lot of fun while we had the chance together.

Chris lost his job on Thursday. It was a worst time, right before the 4th. They fired him for something completly stupid. They have been trying to get rid of him for a while so in a way we weren't surprised but at the same time no one wants to hear those words. It was like a punch in the stomach when I heard it. The reason why they fired him was about a game system. A customer came in a few weeks ago and traded in a XBOX and when someone trades in a game system you have to enter in the serial number in the computer to show that it came in. Well Chris did that and they said that he didn't. He was suppose to get it off the game system itself but he got it off the box because he couldn't find it on the game system itself so they fired him for that. It really sucks because now his boss left a bitter taste in my mouth and all I want to do is go there and beat the crap out of her but that isn't going to change anything. We feel like it was a blessing in diguise because he was really hating his job because it seemed like whatever he was doing wasn't good enough for her. He got his last check on Friday and we paid some bills so we will be ok for a month. He filed for unemployment and there is a good chance he will get that. We just have to take it a day at a time. I am very proud of my husband though, he is trying to stay positive and he is enjoying the time with his family. Its nice for him to be home because when he was working we weren't spending a lot of time together. I want to thank everyone that has been supporting us and being there for us through this tough time, I know we can make it, we have a lot of good people on our side. Hopefully he can find a job soon.

The boys' checkups

Today Rocky had his 5 year old checkup and Brody had his 18 month checkup. They are both doing well and growing up so fast. Rocky is 37.4 pounds 37% and 44 inches long 69%. Almost 4 feet tall. He is going to be a tall little boy! Brody is catching up to his brother 24 pounds 33% and 31.5 inches long 26%. They both are caught up on their shots so no shots. That makes me so happy! Rocky is all ready for Kindergarten and Brody is growing like a weed. I am so proud of them!

Rocky my oldest is 5 today!

I can't believe my oldest is 5. Where did the time go? He was born 5 years ago at 1:42 am weighing exactly 7 pounds even and 20 inches long. I went into labor on my own because we were moving at the time and going up and down the stairs was making me go in labor. I wasn't dilating so I had to get induced when I got to the hospital. I wish I went natural with him but usually with your first one you don't because you don't know what to expect. I was dilated to a 6 before I got the epidural and I think I could of went all the way without it. I was in labor for 6 hours also. I guess I have my children fast.
He is going to start Kindergarten this fall and I couldn't be more proud. He loves his brother and is always helping out with him and around the house. His favorite color is green and he loves cars. He is a little sassy boy but I wouldn't want it any other way. He is really smart and he knows it. I think when he grows up he is either going to work at a car lot or be a NASCAR racer because he loves watching NASCAR, I don't know why. He is such a great big brother and I couldn't imagine my life without him. He also loves his little cousin Aaron, they are such best friends. I am looking forward to the future with him and what a great man he is going to turn out to be.

In Memory of John Vasquez

In Memory of John C. Vasquez Jr. Sept. 4, 1977-May 6 1995

You don't realized how precious they are until their gone and then its too late for hugs and kisses and saying you are sorry. Valuing your family is more precious than silver and gold. Silver and gold will never love you back. We will always miss you! We love you so much John. I looked up to John when I was growing up, to me he was the smartest teenage out there. You will always be in our hearts in spirit. I know you are looking over us! We don't have any pictures of John when he was a teenager, all we have his memories in our hearts.

What has been happening lately

Ok lately I have been feeling down lately. I feel like I ruined my chance to get that Data Entry job. I don't know exactly what happened but all I know is I am confused and I don't know how to change it. Some of you are going to say I told you so but I don't want to hear that right now. I guess in some ways no one knows what I am going through. It was a hard decision for me to make and a lot of people are probably saying it was easy, maybe for you but for me it was really hard. First of all I have been out of a job for a year and it would of been weird for me to go back all that time. Second I have never done anything like that so it would of been a new experience for me and third I wasn't too sure about the circumstances the lady was under and it scared me. All I know is I kept asking her questions via e-mail to learn more about the job because we all know that its good to ask as much questions as you need to get the answers and then after that she sent me an e-mail telling me that she still is in the interview process and she probably won't make a decision until next week, that was over two weeks ago and I still haven't heard back from her. I tried to e-mail asking her if she has made a decision and she never responded back and that was almost a week ago. To me it sounded like I already had the job I just had to think about it and get back to her so I am really confused. A lot of you are also probably thinking is it worth it to look for a job and go through all of this. And I am beginning to think about that myself.


It would be just easy to say just to give up and stop looking but if I do that then things won't change in our household. We really want to go on vacation and the only way we can do that is if I get a job and put money away every month to save up for it. Right now we can't save any money for anything, all our paychecks go to bills and we rarely have money left over to do anything else. We also want to take the boys to the zoo and things like that and we can't afford that right now. A lot of you are probably saying those things don't cost that much but where you are in a tight budget like we are we just don't have the money for that. The last time we went on vacation I think it was me and Chris' honeymoon, I am not sure of that though. I just don't remember that is the thing. Lately Chris' hours have been cut because what his boss says is that he isn't being a good manager so in a way its to punish him. In a way it has worked because it was like a wake up call for him and he is doing a lot better. I feel his old boss almost ruined his old attitude about the job because he blamed everything on Chris so hopefully this new boss does the opposite and tries to help him. And since his hours have been cut its been taking like 100 dollars off our checks and that money could make more of a difference. I am not trying to complain I am just being real and trying to explain to everyone how I feel.


The boys on the other hand are happy and that is all that matters. They have each other and I am so thankful that they love each other so much. Rocky is going to start kindergarten this year and he is getting smarter everyday and going to get even more smarter once he starts school. It will be a whole new experience for all of us. I am so excited for him because I think he will enjoy being with other children other than his family. He loves learning and loves being around other kids so I think he will love the time away from his family especially me. I think since me and him get on each other nerves sometimes because we are constantly with each other so I think this new change will help us all. Brody is getting bigger and smarter everyday. Sometimes I think he too smart for his age. All the time he understands what we are saying to him and it amazes me everyday. He never sits still anymore, he is constantly walking around and playing. He wears me out most of the time trying to catch up to him but I wouldn't want it any other way. He is almost off the Binky and I will be so thankful when that is gone so I don't have to worry about it anymore. Rocky's 5th birthday is coming up and we are trying our hardest to give him the best birthday with little money we have. That is why I was hoping to get that job before his birthday comes so we can have a little bit more money coming in but I just don't see that happening any time soon.


Another reason why I am so down is I can't do any hobbies or hang out with my friends because I have no money to do any of that stuff. I guess the whole point of being down is money. I truly believe money is the root of all evil. I hope some miracle happens because I am kinda sick and tired of living this way.

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions.

So today I went for that Data Entry job interview. It was kinda interesting. The lady's name was Valerie and she owns her own business inside her home. She needs someone to enter Data into the computer using Quickbooks, kinda like an assistant. She is constantly busy and doesn't have time to enter in all that info. Its pay 8.50 an hour and its part time 5-10 hours a week and I can work whenever. I can come in whenever I want and I can wear whatever I want. The ideal job right? A lot of people right now are probably saying I should take it since I have been looking for a job for a long time but I just don't know if I really want to take it. I guess she has several businesses that she runs and on top of that she works a full time job and a part time job, she says she always has to be busy or she will go nuts. I don't know how she does all that when she has two kids, its crazy. The best part of it is she is very flexible so I can work whenever and that would be great with Chris' crazy schedule. I guess I just really have to think about and think if its going to benefit me and my family very well and if its going to be worth it. If anyone has any advice I would love to hear it.

Easter!!

This Easter was a really busy one but I like it. Since I am home all the time its nice to get out and spend time with the family. Once the boys woke up they saw their baskets and they both went after separate things. Brody went straight for the candy and Rocky was looking for his car but he didn't get a car this year.

And then after they saw their baskets they went outside and looked for the eggs that the easter bunny left. This was the first year that we hid the eggs outside because we never had our own yard before so it was nice. Brody wasn't interest in finding the eggs all he wanted to do was run around. Maybe next year he will be more interest. Rocky is at the age where he understands that the easter bunny leaves him eggs and gifts but when it comes to him in person he gets terrified and wants nothing to do with him. He is one strange kid. After that we went to the park with my family and looked for eggs there and had lunch and then after that we went to Chris' parents' house and found eggs there and had lunch/dinner so it was a busy day. In the end both boys had a blast and got lots of eggs. I even had fun watching the boys enjoy themselves.

Update on Brody

First of all I want to thank everyone that was so concerned for him. It really scared us and we don't want to go through that again. He is doing really well. He is back to his original self and I couldn't be any happier. His fever stayed down and didn't go up since Sunday. He did really well on his antibiotics and he is practically done with that. His cough is all the way gone. I am so thankful that he is doing so well. I believe that there was an angel watching him that day because I don't know what would happen if we weren't there at that moment. I love him to death and I couldn't imagine my life without him. I am looking forward to more happy and healthy days with him! He is going to be around for a long long long time!!!

A scary situation

Yesterday was a very scary day for us. Brody was having a fever off and on all day yesterday and I was trying to figure out why he was having a fever in the first place. I gave him medicine around 4 o clock last night and it did nothing to him but made him drowsy. He went for a nap after that and then was still feeling hot after that. Chris came home from work and I gave Brody a luke warm bath around 7 o clock because that is what you are suppose to do when they have a fever. We put him down for bed at 8 o clock and around 9 he woke up screaming like he was in pain, I have never heard this sound out of him before. He was burning up! We decided to take him to the ER and I am so thankful we did that. At first I wanted to take him to insta care but the one that was close to us was the one in Syracuse. I really didn't want to go back to the ER because I had such a bad experience before but this was necessary. We got there and they took his temperature and it was at 102.6 so his temperature went up a few degrees within minutes. They took us to a separte room so we could wait for the doctor to come in and they gave us a gown to put him in and when Chris was getting him undress what we saw frighten us and we will never forget it.

While Chris was getting him undressed Brody eyes started to roll into the back of his head and we didn't know what was going on. He stopped crying and everything. The nurse comes in and quickly takes him out of my arms and puts him in a different room and starts putting monitors on him. Since his temperature went up so quickly he went into Febrile Seizure, it doesn't mean he will have seizures the rest of his life it just happens to some children when their fever goes up quickly like that. It scared the hell out of me and Chris. There was nothing more that we could do except step back and let the doctors and nurses work on him. I felt so helpless at that moment. That has never happened to us before so we didn't know what to do or even what to think. They got him stabled and he started to breath and cry and that was a good sign. Even though it was only for a few minutes that he was having a seizure it felt like forever. They said while they have a seizure they don't know who we are and where they are at so when they are coming out of it they start crying again because they are confused. I am very thankful for all the doctors and nurses that worked on him, they were very generous and I couldn't asked for a better team.

They took his urine and blood and gave him an X ray to see all the possible options on why he was running such a high fever in the first place. His urine and blood came back normal and on his X ray they didn't see any infections but they saw a little bit of Bronchitis on his chest, nothing big, just a mild case of it. No wonder he has been coughing for the past few days, poor little guy, I couldn't imagine what he was going through last night. Overall he is doing well, his fever went down and he is a little bit wobbly from last night but he is doing good. He just has to stay on the medicine that they gave him for the next 4 days or until its gone to keep the fever down. I want to thank Trena for taking Rocky last night so we could concentrate on Brody. I also want to thank the doctors and nurses again for doing the best for my little guy. I am thankful for a lot of things right now in life!

Brody's 15 month check up

First of all I can't believe he is already 15 months old. He grew up too fast! Today was his 15 month check up. He is 23 pounds in the 30% and 30.25 inches long in the 26%. He is walking really well and I am very proud of him. He also got one shot! He seems to be doing very well with it. Next time it will be his 18 month check up and since Rocky will be 5 around that same time we are going to do their checkups the same day. We have never done it like that before so it will be a new experience for all of us.

DISNEY ON ICE!!!

We all went to Disney on Ice for the first time! We all had a wonderful time together. It was me, Chris, Rocky, Brody, my mom, Chris' mom, Trena, Shane, Aaron, Trena's mother in law and Sister in law. We got a good price for open night. Buy one ticket get one free. It was Mickey and Minnie and all their friends hosting the show of course and Little Mermaid, Cars, Tinkerbell, and The Lion King. The Lion King is my favorite Disney movie and The Cars is Rocky's favorite. The boys were so well behave and Brody was so into it. If you want to see more pictures look on my myspace profile or Facebook.

Rocky with his Lighten McQueen that he got at the show!

We went to Chuck a Rama to eat before we headed down there so all in all it was a great night with the family! I still want to know how they got the Cars to move on the Ice that was pretty impressive.

6 Wonderful Years together and more to come!

Me and Chris have been married for 6 years as of today. We got introduce in December of 2002 from our friend Teala. He was actually going for her but she was interest so she thought we would be perfect for each other. I was just getting out of a relationship so I wasn't really looking for anyone. At first I wasn't expecting anything but friendship from him but just everything felt right. It felt like we have known each other all of our lives. Everything just came natural and we had a lot in common so that was a plus. We are like two peas in the pods. He is my better half and I wouldn't know what I would do without him. We got engaged the day after my high graduation in June 2003 and got married on Valentine's day 2004. It was such a beautiful wedding. We got married at the Egyptian Theater in Ogden because my brother worked that at the time as a chef and we got a great deal on the room and the food. I remember we got one of them free but I don't remember which one. We had a big wedding party, 5 bridemaids and 5 groomsmen. He is my everything, I fall in love with him more and more everyday!For our Anniversary we went and saw Valentine' day and that was such a cute movie and we went to Garcia's for dinner. It couldn't of been a better day! Chris spoiled me for Valentine's this year he got me 2 shirts, A necklace and earrings set that I am wearing today, another necklace, new mats and a shower curtain for our bathroom because we didn't have any of that and a Cooking Mama game and flowers. He is a hard working man, he works so hard to provide for his family and support us, he is my rock when things go tough. I couldn't ask for a better husband and father. The one thing that will stick for me for the rest of my life is the day I fell in love with him. I remember it was a couple of days before High school graduation and I wasn't feeling good I had a really bad headache and we were hanging out that day. He took me home early and help me into the tub and waited until I was done (in the living room) so I didn't fall out of the tub and then he helped me into bed and made sure I was ok and everything before I went to bed and before he went home. That day I realized that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this man because he takes very good care of me and he always will! I will never forget that day! We have two wonderful little boys 6 years later to show for it and they are my life. The latest new I would love to share with everyone is we are going to renew our vows in 2014 on our 10th year anniversary. I can't wait for more wonderful years to come! I love you hunny from the bottom of my heart!!!

Choose your friends wisely!!!

Does anyone have a friend that keeps making excuses for not staying in touch? Well I used to have one of those friends. I am going to used her real name in this blog because its my blog and I have the right. My adrenaline is running so bad right now that I feel the urge to write. My old friend Tasha and I used to be best friends growing up. When she moved away we grew apart. The only way we stayed in touch was through myspace or on the phone but most of the time that wasn't enough. Me and her got pregnant the same time I did with Brody and her with her first. She would always say I was her best friend and that we will always keep in touch but I was a fool to believe that. After I went to her baby shower we agreed that we would tell each other when we had our babies. She didn't tell and I had to find out by calling several different hospitals. All the time she would tell me excuses about why she didn't tell me this or include me into this and time after time I forgave her and let her back into my life. But this one special event that happened in her life drew me to the edge. She would never answer her calls when I call so I kinda got the feeling that she was ignoring me. Does anyone else get that feeling sometimes? And most of the time anyways her phone would be off so I would not know how she was doing. The last time she talked to me was a year ago after her daughter was born she told me that she was pregnant again. Did I find out when she had that one? NO! And listen I am suppose to be her best friend. I decided to delete her off my friends list a long time ago because she was never on and plus I was done but I still thought about her because its only natural. Then today I went onto her profile and found out that she got married. I was soo pissed! I don't even know when she got married. She didn't even tell me and I remembered long ago that I was going to be her bridesmaid. Whatever happened to that? Well I am done! Its not even worth it. I am tired of the excuses, I am tired of being worried about her and wondering what is going on in her life, I am tired of not being part of her life anymore like I used to. Heck her mom used to treat me like one of her own. That is why I don't have a best friend anymore because of people like that. Fuck people like that! You call yourself so call friends, yeah right! I got my close friends and family and that is all that I need. I know NOW who is my friends and who isn't. And if no one wants me around than I am not going to stick around. Please tell someone that you don't want to be their friend anymore, just don't leave them hanging because that is just so wrong. And if no one wants me as friend than that is their lost not mine. I tried and tried and tried and I am done trying. Its so exhausting that I can't even count the times I try to make contact and got nowhere.

An update for the New Year

I was reading my blog and realized that I need to update a little bit. I am still looking for a job and I have to say it hasn't been easy. I applied at so many places and before giving me a chance they turn down my application even before I get an interview. I didn't get that Production of Graphic Design job and I don't know why. He never responded back to my resume and I tried to get a hold of him and he never responded back to that either. I really wanted that job because it would of been perfect for me. I hate when jobs leave you hanging. But I moved on and tried to get a new job. I went to this Census test and so far so good but I am not getting my hopes up. You had to get a 10 or more right on the test to passed and I got a 20 out of 29 questions right. It was a pretty simple test, just general information on things you have to know for the Census job. They called me today to ask a question about my degree from Eagle Gate and that is all they wanted so that is a good sign because I know that they are at least looking at the test and application. This job would be so good for us. It pays 11.00 an hour. So while I am waiting I am still looking so I have something to fall back on.

Chris is still working at Gamestop as Assistant Manager but he is hating retail more and more everyday. He is saying that its making him a different man but I just think its from the manager that he is working with. I know things will get better for him at work once I get a job because than he won't be so stressful about money. I think its a lot of things that he is going through right now that is making him feel the way he is feeling. When he isn't working he is doing Ghost Hunting. Him and his buddies have a group called 4gh and they go to potential places to find the truth. He really enjoys it and I support him in it. I believe in that stuff because I have witness myself a ghost place. At least he isn't hurting anyone and plus he is always careful when he goes out. Everyone needs a hobby and that is his hobby.

Rocky is still on the waiting list for Headstart but he moved up. He is now number 5. The last lady I talked to was really helpful. I guess when we registered I still had a job so I updated all my information and she said if we fax her Chris' last paycheck stub from 2009 there is a good chance that he will move up. I am so looking forward for him going to school. I know that he will enjoy being with other children his age and also I think it will be good for all of us. I think most of the time we get on each other's nerves because he is always home with me and we know what pushes each other's buttons. I also think him going to school will change his attitude a little bit and get him smarter. He is such a smart ass sometimes but I love him. He really helps out his brother and likes playing with him. He is such a good friend to Brody and I hope it stays that way.

Brody is getting so close to walking. He cruises the furniture likes its nothing and walks the walls he just needs to gain more confidence and he will be good to go. He also has another tooth coming in...HIS THIRD! He is taking a while to get more teeth but that doesn't stop him from eating anything and everything. He is getting more cuter everyday! I am enjoying watching him grow everyday.

I am so looking forward to this year because its going to be a good one for sure. I know as of right now things are a little bit tough but I know we are going to hit a few rough patches before we reach the final product. We are so eager to get our tax returns back because we are going to get back on track, buy new couches and save our money this time so we are not stuck in a rut again. I think once we get back on track and pay everyone off things will then fall into place. Once I get a job things will get even better because then I can help Chris with the bills and then his checks wouldn't have to go to everything. We now realized that we can't live off one income, its just not possible anymore. Our goal last year was to get into a home and out of those apartments and we accomplished that so now we have to focus on getting financially stable and I know we can do that. And once we are financially stable I know things will approve on everything in our lives because we will be a lot happier. Once we get all stable I would love to go on vacation, that is the next step. I believe that there is going to be good things to come. Now that we have moved on from all the deaths that happened in 2009 we can now look forward to more positive things.
