Williams 6th Birthday!

This year Williams birthday was really hard it started the night before when I took out his baby book and started looking at his pictures.
Photobucket
Looking through the pictures brought back so many emotions of the day he was born.
After I had a good cry I went on FB and nurse Molly that delivered him had wrote me a message.

Photobucket
She told me she still displays this picture in her living room.
She was an amazing nurse and I will always remember the love she gave our family that day.

Photobucket
This is probably my most favorite picture taken the day he was born.
I love how gently and tenderly Shelly is holding him.

I love that I have these pictures and I love looking at them.
I just wish there was more.
I cried a lot on Williams birthday and I felt a grief that I hadn't felt in a long time.
I just was not expecting to feel such hurt and pain.
I know that family's can be together forever and I know I will see William again but some times knowing this will be a long time form now hurts.

Christmas after William

I am not going to lie I was dreading Christmas 2006.
I new I would probably have to fake the Christmas spirit for the sake of my kids.
2006 was a big year for us we started the year out burring William.

Then moving in June from the place we lived the last 6 years.
We loved Travis AFB and had many friends and friends that were family there.
I honestly did not want to move to Alaska.
I hated it there at first I was lonely and every thing felt foreign to me.
I made a few friends early on and tried to be happy.
When November came along I was a mess.
Garrett was baptized and that was great but I was still so sad.
I did not want December to come I dreaded the 14th Williams first birthday.
I decorated tress I decorated our beautiful home and I made cookies all the things that were needed to make the Christmas season fun.
The day before Williams birthday I found my self at the church my friend Kristy was setting up for the Nativity display they had done for the last 5 years.
I had no clue what was going on but went to help her.
I was so sad knowing that the next day was Williams birthday but the moment I stepped into the church something magical happened.
I felt a peace that I had not felt in a long time.
Everyone was so busy and happy doing there part to make the nativity what it is.
I got caught up in the spirt like everyone else.
I remember looking at all the Nativity's in awee.
It helped me get over the deep depression I was falling into and helped me cope with the Christmas season.
I felt the peace and comfort only the holly spirt can give you and I felt the love the savior had for me.
He new he new my suffering and felt my pain all those many years a go in Gasemmene.
I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life and I am grateful for that Christmas miracle I had that day.
The next day my sweet friend Chaure came over with 17 balloons for me and my children in Honer of the 17 days William was alive.
It was so sweet of her.
We were also blessed with the 12 days of Christmas that year.
My sweet friend Lila and here family will never know how much that cheered our family up that year.
Even though life was hard Christmas of 2006 I was so blessed with the spirt of Christmas.
Later on I will share how I let the spirt of Christmas in 2007 it was the first of many years that I did this tradition.
Williams Birthdays presents.

Our Christmas Baby.

April 24th 2005 I found out I was expecting our 8th Child a few weeks later I found out my due date was Christmas day.
To say I was trilled would be an understatement.
A few days later I found out Dale was leaving for Iraq.
I was still in great spirts thinking of how awesome Christmas would be with a brand new baby.
I remember going through the months waiting to find out if we were having a boy or a girl.
I like to be prepared so I was also thinking of things to get and do during the Christmas season.
As the end August drew near I was on pins and needles waiting to find out what we were having.
I remember clearly going in for my sonogram I was so excited..
Then we found out we were having a boy and that he would be special.
The news of Williams heart defect and extra 18th chromosome was hard to take and the fact that William would die.
I wanted Christmas to be even more special.
Evey day leading up to December 
 was hard but we all had a good attitude.
I remember December 1st my sister and I went to Target with Mr. Benny boy and I felt William kick I remember feeling the joy of the moment.
Throughout the next 14 days amazing things happened in our home.
we had surprise gifts left at our door step and treats delivered I felt the love of the Christmas spirt, the love of those I let in my life.
The day before William was born Madeline's Class collected every thing we would need for Christmas dinner and surprised our family.
I was deeply touched.
That same day was my friend Kim's birthday she chose to spend the evening with me in the hospital keeping my spirts high.
A little while later my Dear friend Valarie brought my best friend in the world straight from the airport to my hospital room to cheer me.
Our Christmas baby's birthday was here it was a fun and happy morning.

Things were going slower than we wanted.
Then William was born his birth was truly a miracle.
He had a rough first day but was ready to go home the next day.
24 hours after Williams birth we brought him home to happy brothers and sisters and Grandparents cousins and friends.
I was a bit scared at first but did not want to spend what time I had with William with fear so I let all my worries go and lived in the moment.
The next 10 days were magical we had so many people drop by to meet William and bring him gifts.
I kinda felt like Marry as the wise men came to see our savior and brought him gifts.
I loved sharing William with those around us those who loved us.
Christmas day came and I decided to bring William to Church.
I was a little scared and worried about the germs.
I remember holding him as our friend Sheldon sang the most beautiful song Oh holly night my favorite Christmas Hymn ever.
William kept his eyes open the whole time once Sheldon was done singing William closed his eyes and slept the rest of the Sunday meeting.
I knew then that William
chose who he wanted to sing at his funeral.
The rest of that Christmas day was pure magic.


William lived for 5 more days.
We were so blessed to have him for Christmas that year and I will for ever be grateful for the love and kindness our friends and family showed us.
The spirt of Christmas shone bright through all the eyes of everyone that served our family that year.
It was the perfect Christ and it defiantly topped the year before.

I am not going to lie I really dreaded the Christmas season of 2006.
I will share tomorrow how that year changed my life yet again.

Finding the spirt of CHRISTmas.

For years I dreaded the Christmas season it always drove me nuts at how everyone was caught up in the commercial side of Christmas.
I felt the magic of Christmas was gone somehow.
I remember feeling sad Christmas season of 2003 my grandmother was dying and I just did not like how everyone was rushing around buying gifts hearing ho ho ho and seeing all the gilts of commercialized Christmas I just felt bugged.
a week before Christmas a girlfriend of mine asked if she could come over so I could show here how to make doll clothes for her daughters twin dolls I said sure.
After an hours lesson I realized that she  would never get them done in time for Christmas for her daughter so I offered to make doll clothes.
I felt a glimmer of the Christmas spirt as I finished the doll clothes Christmas eve morning.
In January 2004 I made a goal that I will find the magic of Christmas again.
I prayed and asked Heavenly Father to please help me.
In February I found out I was 2 months pregnant with Ben Shocked but Happy I thought boy Christmas will be exciting this year with a new baby.
I went thought the year had a sweet little baby boy Dale was promoted at work and life was grand.
As Fall approached I thought about how I was going to bring back the magic of Christmas in my life . I new service would be a big part of it.
For years we had picked a boy and a girl name of the angel tree and let the kids buy gifts for them. So we stuck with that tradion and added a whole family.
I also got some names of family's on the base that there husband or wife was deployed and planned special treats for them.
I was a little sad when I found out Dale would be gone from October until the first week 2 weeks of December.
I new I would have to do all that I planed on my own with my 7 little ones.
I was still excited and new this would be fun!
My in laws came out for thanksgiving that year and we decided to do all the black Friday sales together.
I will never forget this day as long as I live.
It was 4:30 Am I was the 96th person in line to get into the BX on Travis AFB.
Ben was sleeping away safe in his car seat and I was standing there with my in laws when I heard.
I hate Christmas time.
My heart sunk and I leterly felt tears spring into my eyes.
Inside I was screaming No! This is not the way I wanted to start the Christmas season. I soon began to hear a ton of people expressing what they hated about the Christmas season.
I new I had to put a stop to this I went into the middle of the crowed and a shouted at The top of my lungs I LOVE CHRISTMAS.
I love the smells of Christmas I love the feeling I get when my kids start making there Christmas list.
I love seeing all of Santa's helpers ring the bells.
I love the twinkling of Christmas lights.
I love how kind everyone is to each other.
I love knowing that we celebrating our saviors birth .
I love knowing that our solders still sever on Christmas day fighting foe our religious freedom to celebrate Christmas.
I love Christmas.
I finally stopped my shouting and realized the crowed was quit.
Then I heard clapping and cheering.
I walked back to my place in line a little shocked at what I had just done but felt the magic of Christmas.
My Father in law was wiping the tears from his eyes and said that was some speach.
I then heard I love Christmas Over and over and over the next half hour we stood in line.
I felt so happy People in line kept bringing me orange juice and Coffee (witch I don't drink) But was touched by there kindness.
I new they were caught up in the Spiert of CHRISTmas too.
Through out the morning all over town I kept having people tell me why they loved Christmas at first I did not understand why but then realized they had heard my speech.
I tell that year was one of the best Christmases I had ever had.
Dale came home from his TDY and we went to the childrens party at his work.
There was no one to play Santa so Dale did I loved that he did this and loved sitting on his lap telling his my Christmas wishes;)

The Christmas season kept getting better and better and I soon realized it was through service and my attitude that this was what CHRISTmas was about.
When January came along I thought again how can I keep the spirt of CHRISTmas going this year.
Four months later my answer was given a Christmas baby was in store for our family.
I always wanted a Christmas day baby and was thrilled that Christmas day was my due date.

I will tell you tomorrow My Christmas baby story.

Please feel free to tell me how you Keep The CHRISTmas spirt in your family.

Today I am thankful for date nights with my Husband.
Yesterday I spent all day with the kids playing and having fun on there Snow day.
I had not showered or gotten out of my Jammies yet the clock read 3:30 and I smelt bad and did not look so pretty.
Not wanting to look bad for my hubby I quickly took a shower got dressed  and did my hair and make up.
Dale walked in the door at 4 pm.


I walked out of the bedroom and he just smiled.
He said wow you look good.
I smiled back and said ya you want to take me out on a date.
He grinned and said ya baby.
So on a week day we went out and had the best time.

Creepy Halloween!

I was just not in the Halloween spirit this year for some reason or the other which is quite odd for me because I love Halloween.
I think all the changes this year has caught up with me a and I still 5 months behind or something like that.
I was a little sad too I love planning my kids costumes and they normally look smashing.
I made Madeline a rock star costume but that was it .
The other kids were on there own.
They did not do too bad.
I did learn my lesson never let Madeline get a hold of Halloween make up on her own.
I am not a fan of creepy costumes and have never let my kids dress creepy before.
I did how ever let Ben and Mylissa be zombies after all it was the # 1 Halloween  costume choice this year.
I guess Madie wanted to be a Zombie too instead she looks like Ozzie Osborn after he bit the head off a bat.
Next year I will be a better mom and be more involved and make all there costumes like in years past.
All and all it was a great Halloween!

From the 70's to snow.

Our weather is so strange here in Colorado.
all last week we had record highs of 70's and 75.
It was so nice and I was loving it.


I took this picture on Tuesday while I was out it was 70 out and just lovely.
All over the news there was talk of the big snowstorm that was coming.
It was hard for me to believe that snow was coming.
Later that day it started to get a little cooler.
The kids came home from school with talk of excitement that there was going to be a snow day.
Ben was thrilled he loves his days off from school.
Madieline slept that night with her Jammies on inside out and backwards, flushed 3 ice cubes down the toilet and sang frosty the snowman while the freezer door was open and spined in a circle three times.
Who new there was so many hope for snow day rituals.


I woke up early the next morning looked out the window and it had hardly snow.
I checked my emails and there was no email from the schools saying that there was no school or even a late start.
I got the big kids out the door.
Then went to wake up Ben.
He was so sad when he realized he was going to school he cried and put the covers over his head and said I am so mad there is no snow day.
After he got dressed ate breakfast I dressed him in his snow clothes and he was out the door sad to go to school but Happy there was snow.
He loves snow.

Later in the day we got a lot more snow and Ben was happy to play in it when he came home.
I am happy that the snow will be melted by the weekend and that we will be back in the 70's for Halloween.
It has been 6 years since we have been able to trick or treat with out the snow.
It will be Ben's first year not trick or treating in the snow.
He is so happy about that.

Chesey ,bacon ,onion goodness

I saw this recipe on a blog a while back it was called blooming onion bread.
It looked so easy and yummy to make.
There was one flaw Green onions.
I am very allergic to them but still wanted to try the recipe.
So I tweaked it a lot and this is what I came up with.
I have no clue what to call it other than super yummy.
So here is how you make it.
One sour dough round
1 medium onion
real bacon bits
butter
balsamic vinegar
Colby jack cheese

Chop the onions and caramelize them in the balsamic vinger.

Slice the read length wise and crosswise almost all the through.
Slice or shred the cheese and place it in between the bread slices.
The sprinkle the onions and bacon bits on the top of the bread.
Then melt butter and pour i on top of the bread.
Then wrap in tin foil bake at 400 for 15 mins
next unwrap the bread and bake for 15 more minutes.
Let it cool a bit then let you taste buds do the happy dance!!
It so yummy we have eaten it at least once a week for the last 4 weeks.

Feeling Sassy.

After Church yesterday I put on my cute apron and was feeling a little sassy, like I was June Cleaver or something.
Aprons always make me feel sexy and sassy for some reason, that's why I think I own so many.
I think aprons look even more sexy with the right leg wear.
What do you think?
Well I think it is time to make another apron it's been a while.

Check in


I have been working out and eating right for 3 solid weeks.
Today I am starting week 4 I can feel and see what a differences 3 weeks of eating right and exercising right has done to my body.
They aren't huge different to the average eye but to my naked eye I can tell and so can my husband.

Here I am a few days before I started my make over plan.
You can see my belly is bigger than my little hips .

Here I am after week one looking cute.

Here I am at the beginning of week 2

End of week in my pink sausage casing.
I cant wait to look like I am not a stuffed sausage in this out fit.

I forgot to take a picture of the beginning of week 3 probably because I was so bloated from my time of the month.
But here I am yesterday at the end of week 3.

The pictures really aren't showing big changes because I don't have a lot of weight to loose but a lot of shaping up to do.
What I really should have taken a picture of is my butt.
If may say so my self it is looking mighty nice and lifted.
My hips and thighs are slimmer so are my shoulders and chest.
Lets just say I don't want to but I have to buy a new smaller bra.
My belly is shrinking too and so is my love handles.
I can also tell by the fit of my clothes that I am shrinking.
My yoga pants fall off my hips so I can no longer wear them.
My jeans have a nice gap in the waist and my shirts are falling off my shoulders.
I see my old super skinny body starting to come back and I am loving it.
I can't wait to see what the next 3 weeks bring.
I am thinking they will be bringing new outfits. LOL
Well wish me luck on another 3 weeks.
