Looking At The Bright Side 2010

Sping Break/Sadies 11th Birthday

2011-04-18T12:42:00.000-07:00

Sadie is always so lucky because her birthday always falls during spring break...We usually our in California, but this year we got to go to LAS Vegas to visit my sister Cara and family . We had so much fun!!! We got to be there to watch Kelsey and Kendra in a pioneer musical that was so so amazing... They live in Boulder City ,which is the first little quaint town you come to after you pass the new hoover Damn bridge... While we were there we went to down town Vegas , our favorite part were the baby tigers , M&M factory , Co Cola factory, and the crazy people dressed up.We took the kids bowling, a bounce house ( which the kids got us to race them ), bike park , Ethel's Chocolate Factory ( which had the best peanut brittle, drizzled with chocolate..Thanks Celeste for telling us to try it,we are now hooked... The kids had fun just hanging out with there cousins playing in the neighborhood.. Good times... Not to far from Cara's house is a little candy/ice cream parlor called Grandma Daisy ( which is Jarod's Grandmas name ,so we thought that was fun)... Cara and I had so much fun going Garage selling, we even found a estate sale were Cara got some really cool bright yellow lamps and chandelier, I got a pressure cooker for a $1.50 such a steal... needless to say we came back with a truck load...good times..
Sadie Lady turned 11 which was so fun having her birthday with the cousins ( Her request was red velvet cupcakes and biscuit and gravy for dinner and she got roller skates , clothes and a new purse and wallet from kelsey..Sadie is growing up so fast , she is has such a fun personality and is a sweetheart..
Cara watched the kids on the weekend and I flew to Utah to meet Jarod for our nieces wedding. What a weekend with Ryan and Stacy with no kids ... We had lots of fun going out to dinner , watching movies, going to a sweet factory, getting massages, shopping,and being with family at the wedding.. Good times
While we were gone Cara continued to spoil the kids taking them to the pawn shop( which Sage loved),She took them to a movie,and more.. Thanks to my dear sister for watching the kids.My kids cried as I drove them home because they love being at my sisters... lol

Sophie was taking a bath this morning in my bath tub, I have a big decorative jar in the corner of the bath tub ledge. She took her cup she was playing with and started to fill the big glass jar, as she got close to the top she said "mom Jesus wants our cups full" so she continued to fill the jar to the top. I am truly amazed at little minds and how much they retain.

Conference Weekend

2011-04-06T20:35:00.001-07:00

Saturday Sadie and Savana and I got to go wedding dress shopping with Shea (the bride to be) and Nancy ,Sonya and her girls and her best friend Kurt.My girls were in aah looking at all the beautiful dresses that filled the store. And they loved watching Shea try them on, the first dress she tried on ended up being the dress (to funny).Before we went I got to watch some of conference and then we got home I watched more ...and thank heaven for dvr the parts I missed I got to watch on Monday... Sunday morning the kids and I fixed a yummy breakfast, Sticky buns(also called monkey bread),Banana bars with cream cheese frosting,and little muffin ham egg bites.. what a treat !!! Savana said , this is a really good breakfast mommy, can we have this every morning? To cute...So after we were all fed then we went on to get spiritually fed... I am so amazed and impressed with all the talks given ,some I felt were directly to me.. So i would like to highlight a few things that touched me.

2.Ask in faith.in honest heart,believing we will receive answers
3.Ponder carefully to shun Satan away

9.Be an example to children
10.submissive and grateful in heart
11.To be or not To be
12.you need this child as the child needs you
13.Christ like attribute
14.move forward with patients
15.immerse yourself in prayer and scripture study
16.lift up the hand that hang down
17.draw your family to work with you so they can learn to care
for each other
18.understanding the doctrines of Christ and his attonments will give us Peace

After conference we took a drive to San Tan Mountain ,not to far from our house and walked one of the trails called Moonlight Trail .. It was so beautiful outside ,it had a little breeze and the scenery was beautiful with the cactus( Sophie said mom look at that cactus it has 3 arms or mom look at that cactus it only has one).Some of the cactus had pretty pink flowers that were bloomed. And off coarse the kids found lots of sticks and rocks along the way. Sadie held hands with her dad most of the trail. Sage was off in the wind way ahead . And Sophie ,Savana and I were holding up the rear. When we got home we had homemade icecream with brownie cookies yum ,yum!! What a treat..... Good times ......

12 Years Past Due

2010-09-17T12:45:00.000-07:00

Way past due , what? a trip without our kids. Sadly to say, yes we have not gone anywhere without our munchkins and Sage is turning 12 next week. Are friends Matt and Alicia invited us to go to Kauai, Hawaii and we had a blast. If this tells you anything Jarod was planning our next trip back for next summer.Our kids were thrilled to have a vacation from mom and Dad ,they went to California to stay with family.
Kauai was amazing , we had a dear close neighbor pass away from cancer in April.Greg and Lyn got to share there last trip in Kauai together (Gregs sister lives in Kauai). Greg soon after he got home was thrilled about the trip, he brought us are own cds of pictures of there trip ,they had such a great time, many cute pictures, one that stuck out to me the most ,was Lyn and Greg laying in the hammock together they had taken a picture of there feet(tears),boye do I miss him and I know she does terribly bad.Any way it was great because they like to take lots of pictures like me so we had a great Guide of Kauai. And then Lyn was so sweet, because I no how hard it would be, she wrought everthing down on paper from things to do ,to food places, to tourist things and she put it all in order from each little town, it was great because we didnt have to back track. How to choose from 1000 picture this was tuf, because we loved them all..
Jarod and I hiked into this hideaway beach , it was a tuff, good hike,but well worth it.So beautiful

This is Jarod getting in trouble opps he was walking all over the reef wondering why no one else was out there . He had to have a chat with the life guard about rules He HE (we were all laughing)

This is the canyon
This pic. was suppose to be at the end it was the last pic. after are red eye headed back to pick up the kids. Alicia made sure to get me a lay before we left Kauai , pretty Huh?

These trees are cool ,Jarod liked them.

These roosters and birds were everywhere ,so cool .But that first rooster was the one who kept Alicia up through out the night. Shes a light sleeper ,I was out. Jarod had fun feeding the ones on our deck,even though there were signs do not feed the birds.(Again Jarod breaks the rules).I loved the roosters with all there babies following them ,how sweet!

This above is were we looking out from were we stayed it was on a golf coarse.
The lighthouse so so pretty,

The bird above the lighthouse is over 6 feet long crazy huh.
Kayaking trip to the waterfall , so fun, once we learned how to work together and keep it going straight. We packed a lunch and had a pick nick at the waterfall once we hiked back there.

O MY GOOSH can I say YUM from the macadamia pancakes with coconut syrup ,aloha bars,coconut shrimp ,hula pie ,Dan millers famous organic ice cream, Alicia's salsa,pineapple,pulled yummy pork,so much yummy food. I went on a diet just so I could stuff myself with all this and not feel guilty. So Good!!!

More pic. hideaway beach,the water was so nice not cold ,bath water

This local kid got 5 bucks from me for this ice cold coccunt drink ,it was good.
Ok so the boys had some crazy thought that before we leave they were going to pose inside the shells of this water fountain (it was inthe entrance of were we stayed) to funny !we were laughing so hard. while capturing it.He he

The plants and flowers were amazing!!!!!!

This is one of the pools at our condo ,it was pretty it had the golf coarse right next to it and then the ocean. Our condo was nice it had two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kithchen, nice open living room and a nice big deck. I loved that there were very many people around even at the pool. It was so peacful in the mornings I would sit out on the deck and relax.
This was so fun to see the west part of the island you have to tour by boat ,so we left about 2 and stayed out till 8 we got to snorkel and have dinner with the sunset it was breath taking.So pretty,waterfalls coming off of these mountains that went straight up.Way cool....

It was so great to see him have such a great time and laugh and relax.

Spouting horn , neat!

CANT WAIT!!!!! Planning has begun.................................................................

Its Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-04-12T21:39:00.001-07:00

Yeah I finally went to Radio Shack to get a camera cord that I have been missing for quit some time. Yes I dreaded going to get it because its in the mall and well my sweet, loving,stubborn ,rule the universe daughter who is 2 would be going with me and yes as long as we are going directly to the carousel , play area or to get food all is good . But let me tell you when I try to sneak in one store for me all kayos. OK know I usually can strap her into the stroller but guess what it had been forgotten home so that left me with my mastermind child. As we walked into the mall there were the $5.00 strollers tempting but I could not bring my self to pay that price to go into one store and to get some lunch . So it all started out fine until she didn't want to hold my hand (I do believe I have taught her that she is a big girl know)so there fore she always reminds me "mom member I am a big girl" aghhh what have I taught my adorable defiant child. So finally we talk about why I have to hold her had stranger danger and all that good stuff. So we are all good until a few minutes later she decide to drop to the ground and pretend she is a puppy ahh cute right, not because a couple minutes go by and my child still is on the dirty ground that a million people have stepped on. So I finally pick her up and she screamed clear to the car and half way home . We were both spent by the time we got home, But yeah I got my camera cord!! I know can update my blog . Beware it will take some time to catch up.

Easter Day

2010-04-12T20:43:00.000-07:00

We all went to Kamis house for a yummy Easter dinner after conference. It was such a great relaxing day the kids woke us up at 730 to see if the Easter bunny had come.Sure enough he did, he even left a letter telling the kids that something blue was going to arrive in the mail. They had to go collect all the trampoline springs to find out what was going to come . Sure enough it was a blue matt for there long lost trampoline. It had been atleast a year since it had ripped. The kids were always on it. In fact I called Jarod this week telling him Thank you because it brought some quite back into the home while I cook dinner I send them out to jump its wonderful. Anyways enough about that as are day continued we enjoyed watching conference while I bribed my kids if they did this journal conference packet I printed for them I would get them Yogurt Jungle that week . Off coarse they love that place so they all did it and my house was quite peaceful all day . Jarod and I were very pleased. Conference was great all the talks were based about family and teaching our children. Later we got to go to Aunt Kamis for some cousin fun and a yummy Easter Dinner. The kids had blast playing outside. It was fun watching them all,they have all grow up way to fast.

We went to Ned's for lunch and had a great time with Sage.

We love this eleven year old boy so much. And wish him a very special birthday.

Sage got his Arrow of Light Yeah!!, he loves scouts and has great leaders! They have helped so so much. We could have not done this on our own.

Being a Mom is Wonderful

2009-08-20T22:32:00.000-07:00

I love it when you sweet child starts to grow up and have lots of emotions and sometime meltdowns and is alittle too sassy to mom or dad.I asked this child where is my sweet little girl that I used to know and she gets fired up and says mom people do change you know. Tonight I got in a nasty tone , mom if you would have stopped blabbing your mouth!!!!!!!!!! That was a little shocker coming from my sweet child. I must say I was proud of myself took a deep breath and contained myself from flynig across the room to get to her. We both took a time out. A thinking moment which was much needed . Then we could both talk calmly.Tomorrow will be a new day with I am sure more challenges to overcome I just hope we will both become a little stronger from these experiences .Motherhood is wonderful......................

Cute Prayer

2009-08-18T21:08:00.000-07:00

Savana has such a wonderful primary teacher, she learns so much from her. She taught Savana about prayer and the steps of prayer, ever since Savana hung her handout above her bed.She ocassionally peeks up at her paper for a reminder during her prayer. Savana has been even better about putting more thought into her prayers. So tonight Savana thanked and then blessed certain people then she blessed the dogs and then she percedes to bless the sick dogs. I thought this was cute because we dont even own dogs . Lots of thought from Savana . Too cute.

Sophie is known to just eat the top of the doughnut and then move on to the next. She is a sweetheart full of energy and loves to copy her big brother and sisters.

That night we went to Pandas they heard it was Sophies Birthday and gave her a kids meal . She loved it her own cup and cookie , she didn't have to share.

Kinder Graduation

2009-05-25T21:28:00.000-07:00

Savana's big Kindergarten Graduation, it was so cute they had a whole little ceremony . Miss Arnold and Miss Adams are amazing teachers ,always going beyond the extra mile. Savana is a little turkey and performed so good at home but when it came to being up in front she was the only one who was not singing or doing the actions instead she was rubbing her eyes she told me they were just watering (I think she was a little emotional , she had cryed the night before worried she wouldn't get to see her teachers again).But she still did a great job and was so so cute.We are so proud of her.

At home a couple weeks before the little turkey....

Flip Flop Crazy

2009-05-23T22:36:00.000-07:00

I arrived to Old Navy about 905 the doors opened at 930 the line was long until afew minutes later I looked back and there were at least a hundred people behind me. Wow !!! I thought to myself while waiting in line is this madness going to be worth saving a couple bucks on flip flops . Yes I stayed because for one I wanted my ONE DOLLAR flip flops for and two the rush you get from being inside a store with hundreds of people its exciting ( may seem odd ) but I love to people watch . 930 am came they let us in o man I thought I was going to be trampled I made it over to the women's rack were there were a cluster of people reaching, grabbing,because I was tall I could reach over some people to grab some in the mean time people are shouting out to me can you grab a hot pink size seven, a size five any color ,an orange size seven, pretty soon I found myself throwing out flip flops to people. Off to the men's and kids section to grab there flip flops which some were in big buckets there must of been ten hands reaching in each bucket At one time. Yes I got my five flip flops that was the limit unless you brought others with you like children and husbands which many did(smart, I didnt know there was a limit). So was it worth it yes what an adventure and I also picked up school clothes for next year because clearance was an additional 50% off yeah!!! For my whole pile off stuff including my $1.00 flip flops I spent $48.oo what a deal...

This baseball season has been alot of fun. Last night Sage brought home another game ball for playing so well. He played third base and pitched.He hit each time he was up and made some great plays while picthing. One play dirt covered his face but he got the runner out and made a great play. Even the ump said Dude that was an awesome play . Yes we are so proud of Sage he has improved so so much all the boys have. It is so cool to see how much the team has grown through the season.It is always so neat to see you child beam from ear to ear . Way to go Sage keep up the good work.

Crazy Hair

2009-05-04T21:36:00.000-07:00

Taming Spray by Paul Mitchell does the trick for Sophie's nappie bed head . We were in walmart and Sophie was walking beside me and some lady said man I hate these floors they sure do cause allot of static as she looked down at Sophie nappie bed head. Little did she know we had not yet sprayed her magic taming spray on her hair . I chuckled as I walked away next thing you know my hair was standing straight up no i am just kidding .The spray works great if you are your child is experiencing nappie bed head. Good luck.............. Sorry for the side ways pictures must be the static..................

Pioneer Village

2009-03-08T21:36:00.000-07:00

What a fun field trip Sage had. I chaperoned Sage, Sam and Mckay ,both Sages friends. Sage was so looking forward to this field trip , he brought me the field trip paper right after school and said mom you have got to go . So I did it was great to see Sage have so much fun. He was so excited about the gun fight, it began at 1115 they said we will shot three rounds ,you then have 15 min. to come find a seat.So off we went to look at this cool pioneer village but before to long the boys were having me check the time, they wanted to make sure they got back early to get the front row seat. Yes after several times of checking the time we headed back. They ran towards the end . It was fun seeing the excitement in there eyes.

Come on mom I wanted you to go with but whats with all the pictures? Sage was not thrilled about taking a picture with me on his field trip. but he still was a good sport.........

He just made a nail..............

The boys were looking in at the school teachers classroom when she yelled boys don't stick your heads through the windows. So we went in , it was interesting to see how the classroom ran back then. She also told them how the students were disciplined back then but it didn't happen to much for two reasons not only would you get paddled at school but when you went home you got another paddling and the second reason she said it was a privilege to get to go to school so for the most part students listened.

What a exciting day for Chris and Kathenia to be sealed in the Mesa Temple and have there cute little boy Carson sealed to them. It was such a awesome day filled with lots of love, joy, and peace.There was definitely a sweet spirit there that day.

TOO CUTE!!
My sweet Mothernlaw who always makes my laundry smell divine when she comes into town and gives me a helping hand with my kids , I really appreciate her. And my cute, talented sisternlaw who is such an awesome cook , I love to get ideas from her. But for some reason it just doesn't seem to turn out the same.

I had to get a couple picture especially because we matched , I layed out Jarrod's close that morning and when Jarod noticed he shook his head , I said its cute. To my surprise he didn't change , I think he is getting used to me now. Hes definitely a sport.

Kami, Darling sisternlaw Sonya people think we are sisters...............

What a great day forever cherished.............................................................................

I have to add a comment about my giggly , cute sister who took these pictures . She can talk to any one and make them laugh just by her cute giggle. My battery died so I didn't get to take a picture of her and her husband but theres always next time...............................................

This was a great night together with Sage................

Valentines Day

2009-02-22T20:57:00.000-08:00

Last Saturday we had a chance to support an event called twosistersoneheart, it was wonderful. There were lots of things to do from running ,eating, playing games , vendors and much more. It was so touching to see these sweet little girls about Sophies age, conjoined at the heart. And only imagine what it would be like. The girls and I participated in the runs, the girls and I did the one mile fun run while dad and Sage cheered us on and took pictures. I was so proud of Sadie and Savana. Sadie said mom I did it in 12 min 52 seconds as her face was beat red and her little baby hairs dripping with sweat. Savana sat on the curb exhuasted drinking her ice cold powerade her daddy got for her, she said mom I just need a minute. And Sophie got another free ride in the stroller but enjoyed the wind blowing against her soft pale skin,she didnt make a peep the whole 13 min. I had a chance to run the 10 k (which was alot of fun after recently running the half marathon )I was excited to finish in 53 min. Yeah for me that was great!! Because remember I am a runner in heart but relistcally a slooooooooow jogger. Any whoo, the rest of the day was so much fun with the kids and my sweet husband who had a cold but came and didnot complain whole time we were there. The kids had alot of fun with all the extra activity's. And we ate yummy barbeque food which was my highlight because I love good food. Jarod and I were talking one day and I told him I just love food and he said you really love it ? I told him yes I LOVE GOOD FOOD. I know its a slight problem thats one of the many reasons why I run .( I will explain the other reasons at a later time ) . Its time for my comfy bed. Check out the twosistersoneheart I know they could still use all the support they can get. They are going to have surgery to get seperated shortly and could use all prayers. What a sweet day we had being a part and seeing there family there and holding strong.

I Am Big Girl

2009-02-16T19:59:00.000-08:00

Sophie's first day in nursery was yesterday ,she was so excited!!(And off coarse we were thrilled, but it did make me a little sad because shes growing up way to fast) When we dropped her off she went right to her little metal chair and sat like a big girl. They rotate first they do lesson then snack and last is play time. Sophie only had one issue they said and that was giving up the baby doll and book and putting them away when it was cleanup time, ( she had a little melt down). But other than that she did great. Daddy picked here up and said she ran to the door with excitement on her face.Sophie has been such a joy to our family we love her to pieces..............................

Sophie Lost Shoes

2009-02-11T13:47:00.000-08:00

Sophie has lost two pairs of different shoes within a month of each other.Luckily they were opposites so she wore these two shoes around for a couple weeks . My dear friend Tiffany was over getting her hair done , Sophie had walked in the room with her unmatched shoes , Tiffany said hey is she and a neighbor found one , cute pink leopard shoe in the street . Tiff said get the phone!! I will call Michelle to see if she still has it . ( mind you I was in the middle of shampooing Tiffany's hair, she was such a sport suds dripping down , but we were so excited, I had searched everywhere and called everybody to find this shoe. Michelle had still kept the missing shoe she said she even set it outside on top of the garbage can hoping some little girl would find her cute shoe. The missing leopard shoe was found, Yeah!! So get this a week later Sadie was at school at flag in the morning Mr. C held up some items that had been in the lost in found for a couple months , he lifted up a tiny little brown and pink shoe . Sadie was thrilled that's my baby sisters shoe. Yeah now Sophie has two pairs of macthing shoes Yeah!!!! In the mean time She has been traumatized and was determined this teeny, tiny doll shoe would fit her chubby flinstone foot ( maybe a toe if that). Sophie spent at least one hour trying to put on this tiny, tiny pink doll shoe . It was to cute until finally she was mad mad.................................

SanTan Flats

2009-02-08T17:45:00.000-08:00

This was a fun night with Grandma and Grandpa Cossan in town. All the family came and this time I brought my camera and forgot to even take it out. But there was a guy there doing sketches and so we had all the kids get them done they turned out so cute , he did a great job. Fun times................

We are so excited for Chris and Kathena, Grandma and Grandpa came in town for Chris he was ordained to be an elder today it was so touching the spirit was so strong in the room. His dad ordained him and Jarod gave the opening prayer and his mom gave the closing prayer . There was not a dry eye . After Chris and Kathena squeezed each other so tight for a few minutes . It was so cute. They are such a cute match , we just adore are new sisternlaw she is so amazing and we even adore her more because she makes Chris so happy . He is always so so happy . We are truly excited for them. In two weeks they are going to the temple and are going to be sealed for eternity what a blessing that will be. There will be many more tears shed, I am sure of that.

I feel truly blessed to have the priesthood in our home for many reasons. Last week Sophie was really sick , it came on fast . She was burning up , not eating , she had a cold on top of it and just laying there with glazed eyes with darkness under them. Jarod , his dad , Wyn ( brothernlaw ) , were able to give her a blessing . We took Sophie to the doctor she had ammonia in her left lung and strep throught. The doctor gave her medicine. Sophie heeled very quickly , we feel very blessed that Jarod was able to give Sophie a blessing . Sophie is now running and playing , she is back to being a wild child again.

Cute Prayer

2009-02-04T21:27:00.000-08:00

The Big Race Day

2009-02-04T13:02:00.000-08:00

Last year Cara,Verla and got to run the two mile which was alot of fun, This year they where both out of commission. Cara bruised her tale bone sledding with the youth and Verla is days away from having a baby. So I guess they have a lidget excuse.
The day had arrived to run my first half marathon, I told Sadie that morning she might have to drag me across the finish line. She said with confidence mom you can do it you have been running 9, 10, 12,miles. I just wanted to finish and yes 2hours 21 minutes later I came across the finish line. Along with Rachelle, Annette and Erin.That year of running 5 days a week payed off. It was a great feeling ,shortly after the run my dear friend Annette said so are you ready to do a full marathon in May with me(is she crazy)......... Although I am excited to continue to run I don't think I want to do 26.2 miles ( not quite yet anyways). I am looking forward to running a 10k for the two sisters ONE HEART on valentine, then the Pat Tillmon run shortly after and then in June, run with all the Sister and sisternlaws( to fun).Fun times,maybe not in the moment but at the end its way worth it.
Jarod was so sweet to wake up early and take pictures of us finishing the big race. There is Rachelle and me, Annette, me Tiffany ( she did the 10 k and made awesome time) Rachelle, and Erin. And a picture of me and my girls Sage was off doing the rock wall.

My first race was a few years ago called the turkey trot, it was a 10k( 6.3 miles) by the 4th mile I thought I was going to die I had this sweet lady run to the side of me telling me two relax my shoulders , she stayed with me for awhile coaching me telling me I can do it . What an angel she was to me . Another thing that I remember was a dad with his kids they had made a sign " my mom can run faster than you".To cute...
This race I remember a lady before the race said its only three hours of my life. Another lady was at different spots of the race in the back of her grey pickup cheering each individual person on,keep going, your doing a great job, you can do it.
