I have been pretty emotional the last two days. I think it is the gravity of the whole situation. We have had them now well over a year with no end in sight. There are so many emotions involved in this. How would we ever say goodbye to them? But how would I sustain this forever? The guilt that follows in crippling. Also, thinking about how to do Christmas for everyone this year is putting me under. It's a story problem. </p><p style="text-align: center;">We are leaving next week to go to St George to spend Thanksgiving with the Anderson side of our family. We will be leaving the girls for about 5 days. I feel bad leaving them, but if we take them we have to take two cars and its about 12 hours. I am feeling like Drew and my own family is really needing that time to reconnect. It has been about 5 years since we have had Thanksgiving as a family due to Sage and McKennas missions. I need to be able to be present and feel how awesome that will be. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I feel like fostering has changed my personality a bit. I am not as excited about things and I need more alone time than ever. That has never been me. I think I am on emotional overload and exhaustion. I feel like it is impossible to stretch myself between the needs of 8 kids and a husband, job, friends, dogs, and do any of it semi well. I hope that what we are doing as a family with these girls is the right thing to be doing and that it will have long term GOOD effects on all of us. </p><p style="text-align: center;">SAGE-</p><p style="text-align: center;">Sage is working with Nate and he is getting college paid for from the company. He is pulling all A's. Its awesome, especially because school was harder for him with his dyslexia. He has been dating Kiliya for about a year. He is trying to decide if he wants to stay with her or breakup. He wants to have the church be a big part of her life, and thats not where she is at. He is at a crossroads. It is so fun to see his relationship with Drew. Nothing changes it. They have always been best friends, and I think it will stay that way. I love him and how deep he feels about things. He has the best ideas and I can't wait to see him have a family of his own. He will be the best dad. I have no doubt. He is pretty busy so I definitely don't see him as much as I wish I could, even though he lives at home</p><p style="text-align: center;">MCKENNA-</p><p style="text-align: center;">McKenna came home from her 18 month mission and it is so nice having her home. She is helping me nanny now that Aspen is gone. Aspen and her traded places. I had a brief state of panic when she got home when I realized that Aspen and I learned the tips and tricks with the girls over the course of a year. How was I going to teach that all to McKenna? But I realized quickly how capable and awesome McKenna would be. I went to Israel for a week for a wedding for my bosses and Kenna babysat the girls and did a perfect job. She has some healing to due from her mission and the stresses it caused on her. It was a hard 18 months and she suffered a lot. It is so wonderful to have her home, but this is where I feel I noticed I am numb. It is from the trauma I had to hear about with the girls, the walls I've put up to protect myself, or is it burn out? I only have McKenna home until January and I need to be able to create a lot of special memories with her before she heads off to college at BYU-I. She is just the sweetest soul and I crave her presence. </p><p style="text-align: center;">ASPEN-</p><p style="text-align: center;">It is crazy to look back at how much everyone has gone through. Aspen was my nanny for a year and she was in the thick of it with me. She has now started her first semester in college. I miss her so much. She is thriving and it makes me so happy. She has so many friends. She is taking chemistry, the most failed class and doing great. She is taking a lot of credit hours. She has become the most beautiful person inside and out. She is so capable, brave, intelligent, capable, and just stellar. I can't wait to see her life unfold. She has been my right hand girl and our relationship has deepened so much over the last year. </p><p style="text-align: center;">DREW-</p><p style="text-align: center;">Drew is in 8th grade and is definitely a teenager. But he did say the other day "Mom can you give me more hugs everyday and tell me nice things about myself?" I love that he wants to be close to me and everyone in the family. He will still cuddle and hold my hand. He is a little spicer than my other kids were at this age but he is a good kid. He played fall competitive soccer and both of us hated the time commitment. Everyone loves Drew. I hear it from all of my friends and anywhere I go. He just is always consistent and he doesn't have highs or lows. He is easy and people just love him. He is handsome and I think quite a few girls at school have crushes on him. He told one cute girl in our ward he didn't want to date her (hilarious, its 8th grade) and she cried in the bathroom for an hour. We all love our Drew. He loves drinks, food, and is really into his cloths and wanting a cool room. The girls have been the hardest on him. He keeps telling me he is done. Then the next second he is calling for biddy. He helps me a TON with the girls every morning. He helps get them ready for school, getting them in the car, and buckled. I think he is burnt out but will miss them when they are gone. I hope hope hope he looks back and doesn't tell me someday that I ruined his life. I hope that this has taught him valuable lessons and that he will be grateful. </p><p style="text-align: center;">We have had so much change this last year with college, missions, fostering, the wedding of my neighbor to my mother-in-law and its just all crazy. I hope I have done the right thing with fostering. I don't know how long we will have the girls. They ask me daily if I will adopt them. It breaks my heart. I just feel pulled in all the ways. </p><p style="text-align: center;">This year Nate and I went to Italy, I went to Israel, Mexico, Palm Springs, Vegas, camping, Telluride, and I am just so so blessed by all the traveling I have experienced in a year. I get to go to Malibu in December and St George next week. I think my new obsession is traveling. I think its also what God has blessed me with to get through this last year of impossibleness. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Here are some highlights of this year....</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic1j2k_ej2BW7j5aSRXAMhPBKcqszLaPWif4k1s6gL6l_F0Gdn4Ll3CazcZ7XY8J5A4Li8CEAcnCXsrNG2vLM-CPlvYKYZ4dmpm03JpjI3FiOMp7owDVF1vBr2VubToLaOAGHW2vNdqUkxX7l_wHQ_lFY87Wi8p3T6gxx8gsrOlVAHLEHXinbo_Ln9Gg/s4032/IMG_3238.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic1j2k_ej2BW7j5aSRXAMhPBKcqszLaPWif4k1s6gL6l_F0Gdn4Ll3CazcZ7XY8J5A4Li8CEAcnCXsrNG2vLM-CPlvYKYZ4dmpm03JpjI3FiOMp7owDVF1vBr2VubToLaOAGHW2vNdqUkxX7l_wHQ_lFY87Wi8p3T6gxx8gsrOlVAHLEHXinbo_Ln9Gg/s320/IMG_3238.heic" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Our 3rd annual trip to Telluride with he Peirce family.

We are now foster parents. It is crazy, insane, magical, trying, complicated, and rewarding. A few years ago, our family saw a movie called Instant Family. It was about a foster family. We all came out of the movie feeling like we should do it. My girls kept bugging us for quite a few months after to get on it. I also kept having things happen that pointed me in that direction. Co workers brought it up, I would hear about the huge need Colorado Springs had for foster families, and it kept tugging on my heart. </p><p>I finally called an agency and the women who answered the phone was awesome. We hit it off and talked for an hour. I went in that night to tour the building. I took my daughters and we all just felt so strongly that we needed to do this as a family. Nate and I started the classes and got everything done pretty quick. Covid happened and we pushed pause. I had so many changes with home schooling, I didn't think I could add more on top of that. Covid was so unreal and scary in the beginning, we didn't know what was even happening, so we just dealt with that.</p><p>Covid finally became the new normal and we got back on the foster train in April 2021. We finished everything about June/July, right after Mckenna left for her mission. I knew we would be getting girls, Kenna felt that too. I wanted to sale our kid furniture and every time I posted it on Facebook, someone would want it and I would get a sinking feeling. I would cancel the add and feel that I needed to keep it for the "girls" we would be getting. Nate kept wondering why we didn't get a call right away. We had a big trip planned at the beginning of August and I felt we would get a call when we got home. And that is exactly how it happened. </p><p>On August 10th 2021 we got the call. Nate and I got the call and the woman said "Katie, I know you don't want babies, and multiples but we have these 4 little girls and you are our only hope. We don't have another family in Colorado Springs that can take all 4 and they will be split up. She sent us a picture and we had about 10 minutes to decide. We pulled the truck over and looked at the picture of them. Our hearts melted and we thought, we can at least try right? I had to go to work and Nate had to work that night as well. We told them we would do it. They said a home supervisor would bring them to our house until I could get home.</p><p>I will never forget that day at work. I was training someone and I was trying to stay focused. It was impossible, I was so scattered. I remember texting friends that it all happened and a friend went straight to my house and dropped off a ton of toys and cloths. Nate met them for a few minutes on his way out the door to work. He called me a said "They are the most beautiful little girls, they have these big brown eyes." We both had no idea at that moment, how much our lives were about to change. I remember walking into the house and seeing 4 little girls sitting in my living room, playing perfectly well mannered with all the toys. I remember wondering where in the world I would even start. </p><p>In the next few days, the stuff started rolling in from Hope and home (our agency) and our community. Car seats, high chair, toys, cloths, play pens, and everything in between. I remember the second night vividly. We had to tell the girls their "rights" as foster kids. I remember sitting on the bottom trundle with 4 little girls huddled around me. I explained that they could call if they didn't feel safe, that they had a voice and all the other things on the list. I told them I loved them. </p><p>They told me about their baby brother John, how he had died, and how he was in heaven. They wanted to know if God was taking care of him. I told them that I had a really pretty picture of God with children and that I could hang it in their room. They were excited. I hung it on a nail that was already their. I told them that they could pray to God for comfort and peace. In that moment, I could feel the veil so thin. I could feel that their guardian angels were surrounding us. These girls walked into my home and brought their angels with them. In that moment, I knew this was all so much bigger than me and that I was not in it alone. Not on this side or the veil, or on the other. </p><p>Little did I know how hard it would get, how challenging, and how it would break me in so many ways.

I tried and after several attempts, I got him out with my boss. Verdict....he is obsessed. We now have all the gear and have gone a few times. I am so excited about it because we do a lot of mountain biking trips and this goes so well with that! We can't wait for Sage to come home form his mission and climb with us! He worked at a bouldering gym before his mission, so I know he will love it too. I am terified of heights, so it's pretty big of me to be doing this!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We biked a really hard blue and decided to take the lift up and enjoyed two fast easy green rides.

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The views were absolutely incredible. We drove home the long way through Durango so we could drive on the "Million dollar highway". It was incredible. It took us from Durango through Silverton and into Ouray. Ouray had the most beautiful mountains with incredible rocks that had the most colors I've ever seen in a stone. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I told Nate I feel like a gypsy, or maybe wanderlust is a more appropriate term as I do like having a home to come back to. I just want to do all the things, and see all the places. I decided to take a picture of every city I go through. I want to see them all. I'm dreaming of getting an RV and traveling and seeing all the states. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Aspen was supposed to come but we left her home alone with the dogs. Her Jr year is overwhelming her with the load of homework. She's taking 3 AP classes and is basically in her room.....always. She's on a Hybrid schedule due to covid. She goes two to three times a week and the other days are online. I hate it for her. She's on the computer for hours during school, then has hours of homework. The realization hit me that we only have her two more years. I have two out of the house and two at home. I miss the kids little!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was very bitter sweet dropping her off. Nate was supposed to come drive with me to take her, but the broiler in our house flooded so he stayed home to watch the dogs and Drew. That didn't turn out the best but thats another story. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Aspen drove with me and McKenna, we had a great drive there. It took about 11 hours total. We stopped in Debois and stayed in the cutest little cabin. We headed the next day to see the Grand Tetons. We hiked around Jennys lake and had the best conversations. We saw a Grizzly bear, a huge Moose, Bison, and lots of cow on the drive. I love spending time with my girls. After our hike we went into Jackson Hole and ate and looked at the shops. We made it to Rexburg that night. McKenna was a little shocked by the look of the place and wasn't to in love with it until we hit the campus. The campus is beautiful and all the housing lined the streets. There were college kids everywhere! It was so exciting. The following morning we went to her dorm and met her roommates. She has a darling girl named Monica that she shares a room with. She is sweet and a returned missionary. McKenna lucked out. All the girls she is rooming with are super sweet. There are six of them total.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZeV1JnYGET5A18mfgY8UjyLepbh5_A1eCi7SFKwAPuCpa_i0RxH9F_NF-bx5Jp6On0AI2glGkjj7m3ciEEWxH5yxOcSyOiBrgqTT2FwLni30WrOeYEjXp8kkyWRFhX5mU3MwbPkLTvjQs/s1600/1600739261519771-0.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZeV1JnYGET5A18mfgY8UjyLepbh5_A1eCi7SFKwAPuCpa_i0RxH9F_NF-bx5Jp6On0AI2glGkjj7m3ciEEWxH5yxOcSyOiBrgqTT2FwLni30WrOeYEjXp8kkyWRFhX5mU3MwbPkLTvjQs/s1600/1600739261519771-0.png" width="400"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Saying goodbye was HARD! Aspen cried when we left. Those two have always been together. They lifeguarded at the pool together this summer, did high school tougher, and early morning seminary. They always chose to sit by each other and be together. It will be hard on all of us having McKenna gone, especially me and Aspen. McKenna is our happy girl who is always so fun, ready to party, and a great person to sit with at night and visit with. Our home will defiantly not be the same without her. I broke down and cried three separate times while we drove around the campus. Not just because I would miss her, but because of the amazing person she has become and I can't help be excited for the memories she is going to make. It has been one week and she has been asked out on four date, has been to some type of party every single night, and is loving her classes. She decided this week she is also going to serve a mission like her brother for the Church. I can't wait to watch her life unfold. She's amazing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In the Spring his coach from last year reached out and asked if he would join the team. With the current pandemic that has tortured us all, he played in the summer as Spring ball was cancelled. His team was the Angels and this fall he is playing with the same coach with the Royals. Drew is a great at stealing bases. I love listening to the coach tell the other kids to watch Drew. I love listening to the parents comment in the stands about how fast of a runner Drew is. He is a very fast runner and loves it when he gets to play first base. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Drew also started piano lessons. He is a natural!! He has had 3 lessons and will be in level two books for his fourth lesson. I was blown away. After his first lesson, he was frustrated and didn't want "baby songs", so he practiced for two hours and told me he would be learning "Pirates of the Caribbean". I informed him that it was a hard song and Sage learned it after 5 years of piano. Drew took it as a challenge and practiced two hours a day. His first lesson was on a Tuesday and by Friday he had the first line sounding amazing. I went to check his work. He had the left hand on the wrong notes. I told him that and he said "I don't know the left hand notes yet, but I tried to figure it out and this sounded right." It did! I didn't know he was in the wrong hand position until I looked myself. He has a good ear!! He is good at anything he tries. The trick with Drew is getting him to pick something. He will probably be a "Jack of all trades and a master at none" unless he picks his favorite things. He is great at climbing when he was on a climbing team. He is good at baseball, mountain biking, soccer and basketball. He excels at snow skiing and can conquer a double black diamond that scares me to even try. He can wakeboard, play the tuba, and clearly the piano. As of now it is looking like the the tuba is a thing of the past (against his teachers wishes) and the French horn could be in his future. He is thinking baseball is the sport he will stick with and the piano. He is a great speller and school comes easy for him. He is naturally more of a home body. He has friends knock on the door almost daily. He turns them away and I can NOT relate to that. When I ask why, he just tells me he doesn't want to play. He would rather be with me or someone in the family. He has zero temper, never ever cries, acts like an adult, has a natural deep voice, and is always kind and complimentary. I love my mornings with him before school. He always says something nice and is SO grateful for whatever it is I make him for breakfast. The neighbors down the street tell me often along with he neighbors around the corner...that Drew is a constant topic in their home. They tell me they are always asking their kids to act more like Drew, and why aren't they more like him (poor kids!). They are amazed at his manors, gentle personality, how gracious he is, and how he always thanks them and asks if they need help. Drew is a blessing and I kiss the poor kid to death and tell him at least 3 times a day how obsessed with him I am. He makes friends easily and is just a likable kid with a perfect disposition. </div>Andersonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11584539906369702793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566216181588813798.post-21768702661752544842020-09-01T17:48:00.001-07:002020-09-29T18:03:17.180-07:00Last week with McKenna before college!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We are trying to fit it all in before we take our gem to college. I took the kids to the Royal Gorge and of course they were too practical and didn't want me to pay the 50 bucks a person to walk across the bridge. So we admired from afar and went to a great burger joint. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We took the kids to Cave of the winds. They did the zip line, rock wall, and obstacle course.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We also tried to enjoy the last few summer nights on our porch with my new favorite set up. We have a huge deck and for years I couldn't pick furniture. I finally did and Nate set up twinkly lights and I got a fire pit. It is my new favorite thing. Sitting outside as a family, enjoying the night and talking. I am going to miss McKenna so much!!!</div></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj13KVX6gKGrmibkW-8B6BdJzIyJYKqt1RoCDi5jqXX3jtcwxFVSw8A2OIirYv6Ksr5gNrhD-nY76VxzVfjC3lwb1JPigyA4MzRw3cTG4iV98YroZDCg4SV2rOzkk758Py9Ul4isTF7pFq/s4000/20200901_215651_04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

This meant everything to me, she is such a talented photographer. It was touching that she would take these for free for all of her friends. I will forever treasure these photos of me with my kids. Oh how I wish I had Sage here for these!

I just started bawling, like literally cried as I watched. I was overcome with how amazing McKenna is. Julia was complimenting her and I just couldn't handle it. I was flooded with emotions at the beautiful girl standing in front of me. I first of all, have no idea how she is mine, second of all...how is she graduating this year? She is everything good in this world and more. She is graduating with an awesome GPA and lettered in Cheer. She has worked for years as a lifeguard at the school and Chick-fil-A. I just couldn't be more proud of her. She is honest, can't get mad (Sage and I try and laugh because its not possible) and is worried about everyone before her self. She has no gile, is deeply compassionate, and just plain good to the core. She is my right hand girl, best friend, and luckily my daughter. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was amazing. I went with my friends Amelia and Marie. It took me five hours and 45 minutes to get to the top. Nate was a dream and drove and hour up to get us! I was so excited to see him standing at the top waiting for me. It was so beautiful, I couldn't get over it. It was quite a bit easier than I expected it would be. My feet did start giving me issues at the very start. I could not even feel them at all. We had to stop so I could rub them to get the circulation going again. Other than that....I felt really good. I am so grateful for the friends I have made in Colorado Springs. I have a group of friends that is more than I could have ever dreamed to have. We meet three times a week in the mornings to do crossfit. It has gotten me in great shape. We get together Monday or Tuesday nights to watch the our favorite TV show. We have a meal prep group, we mountain bike and road bike together, hike, shop, go to the temple, make salsa, and so many more amazing things. I have learned so much from these incredible women. I have been very blessed. I have come to develop a greater love for the outdoors, what my body allows me to do, and mountain biking. I couldn't have asked to live in a better place.</div>Andersonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11584539906369702793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566216181588813798.post-26972085500114324512014-03-23T09:25:00.001-07:002014-03-23T09:27:05.524-07:00McKenna turned 12!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFMA6u1J3iR3gjLFLMjLtXO1O2LvV_ZsJyjrocNKORiXbaBmq62WJf_-PCU5QIkTUFRnBFEdEhLCjBsLWoXM-oJTe6j2Dm-Ssyh7F9RAF0IrW7BvwRtgEOhGlC6B9nCOGxVyLoLSXxXGjv/s1600/20140322_175353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFMA6u1J3iR3gjLFLMjLtXO1O2LvV_ZsJyjrocNKORiXbaBmq62WJf_-PCU5QIkTUFRnBFEdEhLCjBsLWoXM-oJTe6j2Dm-Ssyh7F9RAF0IrW7BvwRtgEOhGlC6B9nCOGxVyLoLSXxXGjv/s640/20140322_175353.jpg"> </a> </div>Andersonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11584539906369702793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566216181588813798.post-50662505072264941042012-11-30T16:18:00.001-08:002012-11-30T16:18:30.208-08:00Happy Thanksgiving!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had the best Thanksgiving! We went over to Brent and Laurie's house for the big meal. It was amazing food and tons of it. We had everything you can think of from the Turkey to all the trimmings. We had about 6 or 7 pies just for our two families. We had lots of good laughs and watched Funny Farm after. </div>

It was crazy to think that a year ago we drove out to Colorado Springs for Thanksgiving and this year we live here. I didn't know a year ago that this place would be my home. Crazy how time flies. Laurie and I go shopping for Black Friday every year. For some reason they keep making the shopping start earlier and earlier. We left her house about 7:30 pm Thanksgiving night. We got back about 5:30 am. We had a great time like always and spent a lot of money to save alot. Ha! But it is always worth it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are so Thankful to live in such a beautiful place. I can't get over how wonderful the weather is. I am obsessed with it. It is so warm compared to Utah. Its the best. We went around the table and expressed what we are grateful for.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;">Our Family</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Our Church and all the blessings that come with that</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Our health</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Finding our harp teacher and piano teacher. We are truly blessed living so close to them.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Living such a wonderful life with so many fun things to do and enjoy as a family</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Living in Colorado so close to the Morrills and Egberts. We are so lucky to have family here</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">All the amazing friends we have made</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Our amazing school that we some how got into</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Our testimonies</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">All of the little things that are such luxuries</li>
</ol>
There are so many more things to be thankful for, but those were the ones that we said around the table.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Thanksgiving and spending time with family. This year, it was just as wonderful as always. We missed our family back in Utah but we all did better being away than I expected.</div>

We went to the Morrill's house to have the best cake ever and celebrate cute Sienna's 9th birthday. We love her! What can I say, Laurie and I were pure genius when we had kids so close together. All four of our kids have a cousin buddy. It's the best thing ever. It is kind of crazy when we are together and there is only four adults and eight kids. </div>

I love McKenna and Aspen and feel so lucky to have my two girls. They are both playing the harp and getting ready for Christmas with 6 Christmas songs each. I love hearing them practice. </div>

My babe started Preschool! I didn't even know what to do with myself for the three hours I was alone. It was pretty lonely I found out about this place that has a co-op and its free. So I checked into it. Drew gets to go once a week (twice was to much for me to handle) and I help out once a month. He goes for three hours. It has been good for him. Drew is so much more attached than the other kids were. He has a hard time not being with someone from his family. He sat on my lap the entire first day. The second time he went, my friend took him. He had a hard time. The third time he did so much better. I just love this little guy so much. He tells me all the time that I am his side kick. We are kind of a big duo. And I wouldn't change it for the world. He is such a huge part of our family. I thought it would be good for him to be around kids his own age. In our home he is too spoiled. The kids give into him for everything. He has them wrapped around his finger. McKenna can't stand the sound of him crying and will do anything that it takes to make him stop. He doesn't need to learn to share, because they will give him anything he wants. School will be good for him to learn that he does have to share and take turns. </div>

He was so so proud of his backpack and his own lunch. Every day he has to say goodbye to his siblings when they go to school. He begs to go with them. He always wants to be with "his kids". </div>

He is at such a fun age. He loves costumes. He wears either Spiderman, Ironman, or Batman every single day. His world is fantasy and reality combined. We have to be careful what he watches on TV because he thinks everything is real. He is really scared of spiders and has a lot of nightmares about them and his costumes being taken away. He has the cutest laugh you have ever heard. He adores his siblings and they are such a huge blessing in his life. He worships the ground Sage walks on. He loves to copy them. At night he won't go to bed until he too practices the harp , piano, and does his "homework". He is really into giving lots of kisses and hugs. I hope he keeps that up. Drew is all boy. He loves his toys, loves boating, and horses. He has an amazing memory. He remembers so many details about when we lived in Utah. He likes to talk about his Grandparents and cousins. It makes me sad he misses them so much. </div>

Our cute McKenna played the harp at the our Relief Society meeting tonight. She played "Teach me to Walk in the Light" and she sung along as she played. I wanted to cry. She is getting so good and memorizes her songs each week. I just love her!!</div>

Grandpa Ted turned 90 years old!! I love him so much. He is such a great example to everyone he meets. He has a lot of spunk, and a lot of great wisdom. I have tried to take the kids often to go visit him. He is a very grateful , humble man. He has been inspired to write many poems for his grandchildren. I pray they remember them.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy, Happy Birthday Grandpa!</div><div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Grandpa really wanted a talent show. Sage played the piano, Tasha and Hallee sang.

<div style="text-align: center;">McKenna and Aspens dance might have been the cutest thing you ever did see. We made big hearts with pictures of them with Grandpa on it.

What better way to celebrate the Holidays right? Right. Nate rounded up all the fun toys from our house. We brought Drew's new little car he got for Christmas so he could drive his little heart out. We all got together at Ed and Lorna's church. Family mixed with great food is going to turn out fun. And so it did. We brought the Xbox and Just dance. We had everyone playing and trying to out dance each other. Nancy Jo and Ed competed against each other. It was hilarious. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Happy Birthday to our Aspen! I am so grateful for my little beauty. We don't know what we would do with out her. Aspen is so smart and with it. She gets the big picture and is so wise for her age. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
Here are some of our favorite things about this darling girl...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
1. She is sharp as a whip and nothing gets past her</div><div style="text-align: left;">2. She knows what not to eat. She has always known that chocolate gives her headaches and that red dyed candy does the same thing. She knows how to limit her self with sugar and treats. She worries about her food and if it is healthy.</div><div style="text-align: left;">3. She is our rule follower. She does not deviate from what she has been told to do. She is very much black and white.</div><div style="text-align: left;">4. She is determined</div><div style="text-align: left;">5. She has about the cutest laugh you have ever heard</div><div style="text-align: left;">6. She is an amazing sister and daughter. She loves her parents and siblings.</div><div style="text-align: left;">7. She is very talented and I can't wait to see all she does in her life</div><div style="text-align: left;">8. She loves to cuddle</div><div style="text-align: left;">9. She is sugar and spice topped with some sass</div><div style="text-align: left;">10. She is so beautiful and is such a standout</div><div style="text-align: left;">11. Every year her teachers confess she is their favorite kid in class</div><div style="text-align: left;">12. She is very serious. She is always thinking deep. </div><div style="text-align: left;">13. Life would not be worth living without our Aspen</div><br />

Nate is an advisor for the Young Men and I (Katie) am also an advisor in the Young Womens.<br />We had our annual Bear Lake trip planned with our family, but last minute decided to go with the Youth. We LOVE Bear Lake so much. But decided we might not have this chance to get to know the youth and be apart of such a great trip. </div><br /><br /><div align="center">We went down to Richard Paul Evans "Timepiece Ranch". It was a blast. It is barley outside of Zions National Park. He has two houses about a fourth of a mile apart. We had the women in one house and the men in the other. There was so much to do. Richard owns about 200 acres and there are four wheel trails everywhere. He had several four wheelers for us to ride and golf carts and dirt bikes. He had a man bring in hundreds of trout to stock his pond for the weekend so we could fish. It was awesome watching the fish being put in the pond. They built an outside movie theatre. We had a huge screen with eleven blow up mattresses outside to lay on. It was so amazing laying under the starry sky watching movies. We ate like kings the whole weekend. It was so much fun.<br /></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Eepp5LKio-IY-aZJiB3We3wgcw6vbIbdSwJhXXcHejqFNO2Jar-z72D05Xv05iDjt-BCbVuRvQ_cnOUeHtvIJ5vPR1UFRvLIJuL4j0vBQYu1cA1lFfbd_I0Lzc5x5qf5wv3os5-X1FuQ/s1600/IMG_2144.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637818864993675250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Eepp5LKio-IY-aZJiB3We3wgcw6vbIbdSwJhXXcHejqFNO2Jar-z72D05Xv05iDjt-BCbVuRvQ_cnOUeHtvIJ5vPR1UFRvLIJuL4j0vBQYu1cA1lFfbd_I0Lzc5x5qf5wv3os5-X1FuQ/s320/IMG_2144.JPG" /></a> This is a view from faraway of our movie screen.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyUpA6znX9GXFIoCVjYr1zeNDwvlPnDFgOEWIkbpemR1AwzAcflqMe_t2R5bHjyYbYLZ8lfJmiTUxcyafFFRL4e0_7tUxQ0W4RMxWoGolbEbpEl-g0i7SZ-dk4clr6Fa6mkpnGlT7qy1FZ/s1600/IMG_2151.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637818496022622418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyUpA6znX9GXFIoCVjYr1zeNDwvlPnDFgOEWIkbpemR1AwzAcflqMe_t2R5bHjyYbYLZ8lfJmiTUxcyafFFRL4e0_7tUxQ0W4RMxWoGolbEbpEl-g0i7SZ-dk4clr6Fa6mkpnGlT7qy1FZ/s320/IMG_2151.JPG" /></a><br />I could not believe how beautiful it was up there.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioaQkKS6mZJNTYb1LhUgG8kNWCijEvTyT0dm7El1Hky7H20eGQ5Q4nPysLb79osqiYrpUMK2MapANbGj8t8v_z8ebQIhkjW0dAcbmkTgm8HgQRwGKoDCYnBU_jrTmOqnpPu_K3gzvsSzKQ/s1600/IMG_2149.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637818491457989826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioaQkKS6mZJNTYb1LhUgG8kNWCijEvTyT0dm7El1Hky7H20eGQ5Q4nPysLb79osqiYrpUMK2MapANbGj8t8v_z8ebQIhkjW0dAcbmkTgm8HgQRwGKoDCYnBU_jrTmOqnpPu_K3gzvsSzKQ/s320/IMG_2149.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6a6BZP91MQycQ5Ty8BYrQk7kXpAiq-0Awc35SMBiki1yx8Hh5WkhMVfSyar0tb1G2k3fct56ksC-0e7zdm456yAD4fR2-h1pLhYmEpiBinExk1CT2VHQl-9vgip9puxYMMEYAv0OrPBB_/s1600/IMG_2143.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637818487748712450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6a6BZP91MQycQ5Ty8BYrQk7kXpAiq-0Awc35SMBiki1yx8Hh5WkhMVfSyar0tb1G2k3fct56ksC-0e7zdm456yAD4fR2-h1pLhYmEpiBinExk1CT2VHQl-9vgip9puxYMMEYAv0OrPBB_/s320/IMG_2143.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghRJbyWHwLtrcDAxidB4pokIbx6V0Uk5JokZ2ii19RGX2j1_4fVR5UeLdx1el1-fzh3g-EAT0cb5oDKzlcz4Iv2whSPn8BgD9do9MAwWu3TC5OdE8JDx1XsuIg-F0WqV_qsHGe2gR7klhD/s1600/IMG_2148.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637818485385683714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghRJbyWHwLtrcDAxidB4pokIbx6V0Uk5JokZ2ii19RGX2j1_4fVR5UeLdx1el1-fzh3g-EAT0cb5oDKzlcz4Iv2whSPn8BgD9do9MAwWu3TC5OdE8JDx1XsuIg-F0WqV_qsHGe2gR7klhD/s320/IMG_2148.JPG" /></a><br />It was really nice for Nate and I to be able to spend so much time together not chasing after kids.

He has such a wonderful family. His two daughters are in young women's and his beautiful wife and I get to work together. He has a new book coming out soon and it was so cool to hear how he came up with it and how he is so inspired. He had so many neat stories that he shared that were right up my alley. He gave me a copy of his book and I think there are only two that were printed early, so I felt very spoiled. The new book Michael Vey is going to be a big hit so it was fun to see all the neat things that are starting to happen with it. While we were up there Amazon called and chose it to be the number one best seller on their website for young adult reading for the month of August. Pretty cool.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi44WHrg4Ol7-S3Yf7UroYdtwHgt23mENvTuPgA-cjWdGZQGJq0FZ3YmSZCg17W-GIlz_0xF6LGlgz0BlT02XNvIkZCYveKVk6XBnGMLTZ-1_gHoPhAGtagQT69ZKwZlYWndKZvvDWwygX7/s1600/IMG_2191.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637810392321132546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi44WHrg4Ol7-S3Yf7UroYdtwHgt23mENvTuPgA-cjWdGZQGJq0FZ3YmSZCg17W-GIlz_0xF6LGlgz0BlT02XNvIkZCYveKVk6XBnGMLTZ-1_gHoPhAGtagQT69ZKwZlYWndKZvvDWwygX7/s320/IMG_2191.JPG" /></a> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1FMMWMjUZ8wW8urUpLynF1CcUtE07hXNhPjUI1eZ2yVRbtvK1Im-ni_RSOd1ZoV8Jq7tZxIfDWvvHgMT4Fz1wVE7LMbX25y0_Xs0vZWwlTuDueIX0RxJzE11CX8xCsrES6IHMN4-3Ro9n/s1600/IMG_2192.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637822168116060882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1FMMWMjUZ8wW8urUpLynF1CcUtE07hXNhPjUI1eZ2yVRbtvK1Im-ni_RSOd1ZoV8Jq7tZxIfDWvvHgMT4Fz1wVE7LMbX25y0_Xs0vZWwlTuDueIX0RxJzE11CX8xCsrES6IHMN4-3Ro9n/s320/IMG_2192.JPG" /></a> Rich has a really neat assistant named Diane. We really hit it off and it seemed we had been friends forever. We plan to go to lunch "quarterly". Isn't that darling of us? I loved meeting her and getting to know so many people better. I went home from this trip feeling so blessed in my life. I am so happy I moved. I never would have grown how I have and met all of these wonderful people.

It is our favorite thing to do as a family! We went for Sages birthday and brought Sam and Zack! It was so much fun for the brief time we had. The weather turned horrible and we had to leave. We went up to my dads house for a wonderful dinner. Then we decided to ride his horse Gypsy. We all LOVE that horse so much. As <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">McKenna</span> was riding her, she tried to lay down. It was so sad. We got her saddle off and got her up to the barn. My sister Jess, Nate, Jeannie and I all were with her for five hours. We tried to keep her walking. She got really sick. The vet came and we had to put her down. It was so sad. My dad was in Colorado and didn't get to be there to say goodbye. It was so sad. We all cried and cried. Gypsy was the best horse my dad has ever owned. </div>

I ordered a ton of pizza and we ate and visited on the lawn. We had a ton of family come and a lot of our friends that live at Highland Pointe. We are extremely blessed to live by so many great people. Do you love my glasses? I had pink eye for two weeks. Then I decided to share the fun, everyone got it. It has plagued us. We have had it running through our family for two months. It is enough to drive some one mad!

It is so crazy how fast time goes by. McKenna is such a delight to our family. She is so SWEET. That is how everyone describes her to me. She is just so sweet and kind. I really do not think her mind knows how to think anything that is not good. She is so easy going and pleasant. I always will remember her giggling out on the tramp in the back yard when she was three. She lived in her butterfly swimsuit and petticoat slip. She has such an infectious laugh. She is best person to cuddle with. She is incredibly lovable. I have so many of her friends parents say that they love her example and want their daughter to take after my sweet McKenna. She is FUNNY. She can get everyone going and laughing. She has such a desire to do good. She is such a great student. Every year her teachers express how she is the model student. I can always count on her to do what I asked and she is so efficient and is on top of knowing what she needs to do next. I love listening to her play in her room, sing, and play the piano. My world would end without my McKenna. She loves helping me with Drew and loves him how I do. I can not even imagine the mother she will make. She comes in my work everyday and sticks a sticky note to my shirt and walks right out. Its always the sweetest love notes. The other day I came home from work and she had a treasure hunt for me. In the end I found a pop up home made card telling me she knows she chose me in Heaven to be her mom. Wow and I so indescribably lucky. She is the meaning of pure joy.<br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZrFRcu4zAmpwlcEzvCLqIPLSuc4d14sUvjaYi-rAmMI2v4VQiwGtoukRalKd46M2h4Z9w5Mn-5tsZymFEso4Psj-TcgGZc50k6Zq_wIstSXMfGErAFrJGVxGS4SrzHvSHoaELIZR6e-D2/s1600/IMG_1852.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588466889941993170" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZrFRcu4zAmpwlcEzvCLqIPLSuc4d14sUvjaYi-rAmMI2v4VQiwGtoukRalKd46M2h4Z9w5Mn-5tsZymFEso4Psj-TcgGZc50k6Zq_wIstSXMfGErAFrJGVxGS4SrzHvSHoaELIZR6e-D2/s320/IMG_1852.JPG" /> </a><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZrFRcu4zAmpwlcEzvCLqIPLSuc4d14sUvjaYi-rAmMI2v4VQiwGtoukRalKd46M2h4Z9w5Mn-5tsZymFEso4Psj-TcgGZc50k6Zq_wIstSXMfGErAFrJGVxGS4SrzHvSHoaELIZR6e-D2/s1600/IMG_1852.JPG"></a>She was so excited for her Birthday this year. She gets to have a party with friends every other year. This year it was a family party, but I let her invite her great friend Kelly. She will be moving soon and McKenna will really miss her. Her mom complements me on McKenna all the time. She expresses how not very many children have manners anymore. </p><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCzXcAtF5bIJKuu5wGf6-eUCfFqSTDtmrg9Wjk2-kL2PKyxZ_6Pp8sQm-bTjlRaMnyLT4ODvFbNHYPkgqZSHFgSQWlgw9eKeIae44QhQgiUWVQvdjwd3uVdG4ku3R4ptXo2NCLmqi-NSAI/s1600/IMG_1849.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588466711635648162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCzXcAtF5bIJKuu5wGf6-eUCfFqSTDtmrg9Wjk2-kL2PKyxZ_6Pp8sQm-bTjlRaMnyLT4ODvFbNHYPkgqZSHFgSQWlgw9eKeIae44QhQgiUWVQvdjwd3uVdG4ku3R4ptXo2NCLmqi-NSAI/s320/IMG_1849.JPG" /></a> We went to Classic Skating for her party. She was so happy and loves to roller skate. I had so much fun skating with her and her cute self.

I have never known a child to love and keep using their Christmas present like its brand new every day. But McKenna has loved these babies and grabbed them to help keep her steady with her new roller skates on. Our cute mail lady Wendy tells me all the time how much she loves watching my girls play outside. She says it makes her chuckle and brings a smile to her face when she sees McKenna outside happy as can be playing with her crutches. The novelty has not worn off. Wendy tells me my girls act like everyday is the best time of their life. McKenna does have a gift at being able to have fun and really enjoy life.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyfBZnLD6jTG7pAdevvHTywdVOhTDlAbXcqOmi5FrFtrUtdbYKMdT1c7MEgWcLlO8p5INtc_VrdmSw0iV0RLd1wv5PIfturyYX3d3MMwwn5uSrOcYy1VoLZKv0W7bIZhPnunSPOVcbf_NA/s1600/IMG_1834.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588465593615147602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyfBZnLD6jTG7pAdevvHTywdVOhTDlAbXcqOmi5FrFtrUtdbYKMdT1c7MEgWcLlO8p5INtc_VrdmSw0iV0RLd1wv5PIfturyYX3d3MMwwn5uSrOcYy1VoLZKv0W7bIZhPnunSPOVcbf_NA/s320/IMG_1834.JPG" /></a> Look at these beauties.

We had a Roast and Mash potatoes, jello salad, green salad, breadsticks, broccoli, and cake all for the birthday girl. We went in a circle and I asked everyone to share a memory of McKenna. McKenna went from person to person and sat on our laps while we told her our memories. I wanted to cry when it was Sages turn. He wanted McKenna to sit on his lap. He looked her straight in the eyes and went on and on about why he loves and needs her. Wow, is was such a special moment. He told her how she was his very first friend and how he couldn't wait for her to be born. He has always loved her so much. They are truly best friends. I love it! I was so overwhelmed and proud that they are mine.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilvQdUcfhie42Vpzz6hrZWXMpiCa5SOb27x0pKbGWkkw2ElZjMhYC4bsXhXZZ0CLhRlq7nNYygPijFStiKcGFtYXSOBp_aFBrPl1dxQjPheFWDrZ4lewpKVm5nEOmKAmzPs43FlsUni3US/s1600/IMG_1830.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588464880242290002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilvQdUcfhie42Vpzz6hrZWXMpiCa5SOb27x0pKbGWkkw2ElZjMhYC4bsXhXZZ0CLhRlq7nNYygPijFStiKcGFtYXSOBp_aFBrPl1dxQjPheFWDrZ4lewpKVm5nEOmKAmzPs43FlsUni3US/s320/IMG_1830.JPG" /></a> I was so proud of Aspen today. It is always hard to be little and watch all of the attention on someone else. She handled it great and was genuinely excited for McKenna. She only struggled when Nate told McKenna she was the sweetest person he knows. Then he had to go down the hall and get something. Aspen quickly got up and ran after him and I could hear her saying "Daddy, Daddy, you think McKennas the only sweet one?" It was so cute. he reassured her she was as well. But that is one of Mks special talents.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYbDaZsDrNfekiiUbhRcwiPADg-KtSTIm5WkZ9A91JT1XEcyb6bTUBM1p3heN5KdKw7WPaqXWsLx6yLQ8spH4uizfOG5oy4MiX7WR8R2gQubFon2ZjFDYvdeiol064R59sMlqDYgjt7kxb/s1600/IMG_1827.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588464787437048162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYbDaZsDrNfekiiUbhRcwiPADg-KtSTIm5WkZ9A91JT1XEcyb6bTUBM1p3heN5KdKw7WPaqXWsLx6yLQ8spH4uizfOG5oy4MiX7WR8R2gQubFon2ZjFDYvdeiol064R59sMlqDYgjt7kxb/s320/IMG_1827.JPG" /></a> Me and My girl<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDcMd9MYzI-Gujapp3kwgvpmxseR9nSgPmObTGZR4c4rCZ9d8ltLCDa_mJo84G-o-FgiqezK4WX6YZaCymN0Oig4IwS6SyLOaWEsk-YHNzXgzHBa2eUrtMtYVxQmcLgUK-Z5g2f1PsZcs9/s1600/IMG_1826.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588464636035842370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDcMd9MYzI-Gujapp3kwgvpmxseR9nSgPmObTGZR4c4rCZ9d8ltLCDa_mJo84G-o-FgiqezK4WX6YZaCymN0Oig4IwS6SyLOaWEsk-YHNzXgzHBa2eUrtMtYVxQmcLgUK-Z5g2f1PsZcs9/s320/IMG_1826.JPG" /></a> McKenna and her grandma Corinne</div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqSKkq__3IgM8yXGe2UfkZIm0WftwzGjl78dq_tD1SpKk9tR5qnajrrAUtMv3NRHUUVupbATi5n60_9YeyoeUyjiG5nE87o5cXP0Es_IpntAuM_6gfBRXxlSd_T7xsea-QxgUm02FAqYDN/s1600/IMG_1824.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588464525981318898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqSKkq__3IgM8yXGe2UfkZIm0WftwzGjl78dq_tD1SpKk9tR5qnajrrAUtMv3NRHUUVupbATi5n60_9YeyoeUyjiG5nE87o5cXP0Es_IpntAuM_6gfBRXxlSd_T7xsea-QxgUm02FAqYDN/s320/IMG_1824.JPG" /></a> McKenna and grandma Lorna<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpH9jTOSh9FY1ge7cjn3yGRJNkyiBU__kUCf74rB-0SdWSQ-wEK3a6PoQ4IGPaYOB-ZGx-0GqR0sakVlQIVBNhqeF2tQPgzBVo_uyOQ4ZBoD-8rEESjEDrp9SkuSRwmwg16QTyZ-Xxb9oc/s1600/IMG_1822.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588464247672898066" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpH9jTOSh9FY1ge7cjn3yGRJNkyiBU__kUCf74rB-0SdWSQ-wEK3a6PoQ4IGPaYOB-ZGx-0GqR0sakVlQIVBNhqeF2tQPgzBVo_uyOQ4ZBoD-8rEESjEDrp9SkuSRwmwg16QTyZ-Xxb9oc/s320/IMG_1822.JPG" /></a> McKenna and grandpa Ted<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSJHadHGNsfyqfK0wKWd9bjQRxu16Aus-iF3i6IJjjfbGdT0anLVxjCmrRjSMmbW_3FSiTZVLLRuLRGlX5Yif9I8OeaIXSef_Z7mHcpfnPb59jticIZvBvcD-tLI_7WR3EohHc1HoxmWaj/s1600/IMG_1819.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588464053394449010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSJHadHGNsfyqfK0wKWd9bjQRxu16Aus-iF3i6IJjjfbGdT0anLVxjCmrRjSMmbW_3FSiTZVLLRuLRGlX5Yif9I8OeaIXSef_Z7mHcpfnPb59jticIZvBvcD-tLI_7WR3EohHc1HoxmWaj/s320/IMG_1819.JPG" /></a> Nate and McKenna.

My family has always called it 15 March. That is what I called it when I was little and it stuck. It was one of the best Birthdays I have ever had. It started out being quite the day at one in the morning. Nate, my friend Holly, and I stayed up late watching the bachelor. I went to bed around midnight. As I was laying in bed, I started to think about my Birthday and I got really excited. I have always loved birthdays! I started to think about being alive and all of the people that I love. I really miss my friends from my old neighborhood and planned my own party for Wednesday. Pretty funny of me, I know. But sometimes you have to make things happen. So as I laid there, I started to get REALLY excited about everyone that I was going to see. Well then I started crying a little bit. I started to see each face in my mind and a rush of emotion went through my body. By now I am really crying. As I saw each persons face, my mind was in overdrive thinking of all of the reasons why that person was so special to me and why I loved them so much. I could see myself sitting with them and telling them all that I was feeling. I really felt like God was letting me feel how he loves each of them. Not one person can be replaced in my heart by someone else. Everyone is so unique and so special in such a different way that anyone else. I realized that's how God feels about us. It was quite the experience. I cried for two hours straight and never went to bed. All I could think about was what amazing people I have in my life and I would not trade anything for that experience. I am so blessed.<br />By seven am I had received SO many text messages. My friend Kandice called around eight. As soon as I heard her voice, I started bawling. I told her about my night and told her why I loved her so much. Talk about a great friend. I have known this girl for sixteen years. She has been so unbelievably loyal and by my side day by day. I could NOT be where I am as a person without her. She is such a great example to me. The endless hours of her listening to me and giving advice, laughing, crying together, and just loving each other are priceless. I love you Kandice, and you have no idea how much.<br />So by the time I get to work, I have had hours of crying. Well then my darling Friend Holly comes in with balloons and a diet dew (which was so needed because I had not slept all night) and it just made me so happy!! We were visiting when in walks a guy with the most BEAUTIFUL flowers I have ever seen. Holly and I started screaming with delight! It was so fun!!! She has been such a blessing to me. It is always hard to move but when God gives you a new friend like Holly, life seems so easy!! She has been a shining light in my life. She is always helping me with everything. She is one of those people that you know you can count on.<br />Then I got to go to lunch with my Zildy...talk about an amazing person. She is perfect. She is so amazing I can't even express why. It would take me a year to list why I love this girl. We of course cried at lunch. Wow I'm getting emotionally exhausted by this point with all my overflowing emotions for these girls.<br />Well you think it can't get better right?? Oh but it does. I get of work and go get Drew and go home. When I walk in my house I have a million kids (probably at least twenty) screaming Happy Birthday. My house is decorated with balloons and crate paper. There is a cake on the table and tons of cards. My darling kids planned a surprise party for me and cleaned the whole house and invited all of the cute kids that live here over. I was dying. Holly was there snapping pictures. Absolute cutest thing they could have done. I am so blessed to have such darling kids.<br />The night ended just perfectly. Nate took me to dinner and gave me the cutest card. My family all knows hes the cutest card writer. He is so good at expressing his feelings in such a romantic way. He gave me Les Miserables ticket!!! Whoot whoot. I was basically dying with excitement.<br />It was such an amazing day.<br />Wednesday I had lunch with all my friends. And yep, you guessed it...I cried. I went in a circle and told each of them, one by one, why I loved them all so much. I knew it was something I was inspired to do. Pretty incredible feelings rushed though out my whole body. We all cried. What a birthday. One like I have never had before. I am truly blessed and grateful for all I have. I am so grateful for my family and friends. I will never forget the amount of love I felt for all of the people that are so special to me. Love you all.</div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Andersonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11584539906369702793noreply@blogger.com0
