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.

Merry Christmas!

We started out Christmas this year on Christmas eve. We went to my mom's on Christmas eve to open presents there. My dad sent presents to her house since we were all there and it actually got there on time. It was a good time with family. We had dinner and opened presents. We didn't have a lot of money this year so I just found some things around the house that I haven't used and that I probably won't used and wrapped it for my sisters and my mom. Its the thought that counts, they loved their presents so that is all that matters. On Christmas morning we opened presents at our house and we decided on 3 gifts each for the boys and for each other. One big one and 2 small ones. Our big gifts were on a budget of 50 dollars. The boys had a really good Christmas and so did me and Chris so it worked out perfectly. Then after we opened gifts at home we went to Chris' mom and dad's and had breakfast and opened gifts there and then went home and Chris' uncle Kenny came over and we opened more. Then we went back to their house and had dinner so its been a busy day! So we got plenty of gifts this year. All I have been doing all day is rearranging rooms and putting toys away so its been a long day. I love the Christmas holiday time to spend with family and friends. Tuesday we went to our friends Brandy and Chris Greene house to open gifts there. Thanks to all that gave us presents and I hope everyone loved their presents from us. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!

Rocky's Presents

Brody's Presents

Note: They had a lot more but I didn't take a picture of them because I was busy unwrapping presents and putting them away! LOL!!

Brody is now 1!!!

I can't believe Brody is already 1. I had him a year ago today at 2:13 pm and he weighed 6 lbs 14 oz. and 19 inches long. Even though he weighed less then Rocky he sure is the opposite of Rocky. He is a big boy and he lets everyone know. He loves people food, he has every since he started eating baby food. He is my big eater, defiantly not what Rocky is. He is such a happy baby and a friendly baby, he will go to anyone that is willing to hold him. He loves his brother very much so, they play all the time and his brother loves him very much.
I went all natural with him, no medicine and I wouldn't want to go any other way. Maybe that is why he grew up too fast. I had an epidural with Rocky and I hated it. When I was getting off the epidural with Rocky I was shaking uncontrollably and I didn't like that feeling, plus when they give you one they put a big tape on your back to keep it in and that tape took forever to get off. So after that I was determined to go natural and I loved it. Plus, the recovery time is a lot faster when you go natural. I have to say the natural is AMAZING, its like an adrandine rush, I think everyone can go natural you just have to concentrate on your breathing and be calm and not freak out and you can do it. The pain isn't that bad and once you have that baby in your arms you forget about the pain and you realized that it was so worth it. I was in labor with him for 6 hours and Chris, his mom, and my mom were the only ones in the room. He is a fast learner, not what Rocky was. Brody crawled at a early age (7 months) and when he learns something new its like he has been doing it all along because he doesn't even think about it. He is such a big boy and I am very proud to have him in our family. Brody brings so much joy in all of our lives that we couldn't imagine out lives without him.
