4 month anniversary!!!!

Today is my 4 month anniversary since I quit smoking!! I have never been anywhere near this successful. I have not had even one drag since I quit in December. I seldom think about it anymore and the smell of it now makes my stomach queasy... I truly believe I am now a non-smoker.

So... with all the money I have not spent I went and got my hair cut and colored. I am happy to have a change!

Ry's 3rd party

Ry had 3 parties this year for his b-day... yes 3! 1 is never enough!!

This was our family party/BBQ we had. It turned out to be a beautiful day... and we had lots of fun. So nice to have everyone together every now and then.

I didn't get very many pictures.. but here are a couple I did get.

Is it really that time already?

Today was a hard day for me... today I took Ry in and registered him for Kindergarten. He is so excited to go I am trying to be really happy for him but I am not happy on the inside. I am very sad. I want to know where the last 5 years went and why they couldn't have slowed down just a little bit. Never again will it be just me and Ry cuddling on the couch watching cartoons after sending brother off to school. Those days are over... and WOW, it doesn't feel good at all.

I would give just about anything I have to keep my boys little forever. I know that is not the way the world works, but I wish it was!!

Here we are right before leaving to go register.

27 second pin

I know the exact second he pinned the kid cuz I had my camera on! This kid beat him the weekend before at Rocky Mtn High, teched him not pinned him, and last weekend at centennial Jace pinned him in 27 seconds!

My Baby turns 5

The title pretty much sums it up... what it can't describe is the sadness I have been feeling the last couple of weeks. It is all just going too fast!

it is hard for me to put in words the way I am feeling... so here are some pics and I hope he had a great 5th b-day.



Josh took him to the Discovery center.







The boys b-days always seem to last about a week. On Wed. he had his friends party and on Sunday we will have the family b-day party.

I took all his friends to McDonalds... they seemed to have a great time.

1st Place

Jace got 1st place yesterday at Meridian. I was so so so so so excited for him!! He has come so far since that 1st tournament where he was pinned in both matches in less then 1 minute. Yesterday he pinned the guy (very first pin) in 54 seconds! This is the same guy who kicked his butt all over the mat 2 weeks ago. He has been going to 5 practices a week (all his wanting to do) and been practicing at home even more, it is def. paying off big time!

I love to watch him wrestle probably more then I love to watch anything else. I am so proud of him and all his hard work. The video is just his 1st round of his 1st match, I did not get the match where he pinned the guy but one of the other moms did so I will have to try and get that from her. In the match below he "teched" (getting 6 points or more ahead) the other boy therefore winning the round.

*** Currently having problems loading video, I will keep working on it.

Easter 2010

We had a very low key Easter this year. It was the 1st year that we didn't have to be more then one place and really didn't even see any extended family. In one way it was nice to not have to run all day but also kinda strange not being with family.

The Easter Bunny was good to the boys....I believe this will be Jaces last year believing in him and that makes me incredibly sad. All day he was questioning how the bunny could carry all that stuff and he kept telling me "It just doesn't make sense mom".

That evening we took Joshs mom and grandma out to dinner in Caldwell. It felt weird eating dinner at restaurnat on Easter but was nice not having to do any work.

All in all it was a pretty good day.
