Well we have been a little busy here. Myklin has been going to this little camp for the girls in our ward 3 days a week and kayson has scouts. Plus all the play dates and birthday parties. Well my friend Allison invited us to her father in laws farm last night for a BBQ and riding horses. It was a great time all the kids rode the horses and just played with all the kids. I am so glad we have the friends we have, they are such great people. Allison's father in law was the sweetest grandpa , he told the kids they could come back any time. Which to myklin means today...... silly girl. We are also leaving to go up to Monroe tomorrow for a couple of weeks. We will go to the Manti Mormon Miracle Pageant and then to Fish lake. My mom's birthday is on Tuesday the 30Th and then the fourth of July yeah!!!!

Random.........

So lately I've been up and down emotionally. My mom has to have open heart surgery on the 7Th of July and that's scary. there i said it I'm scared. i know she will be OK , but she is still my mom and it seems like the older i get the more i need her. i know you would think that I'd just grow up and put on my big girl pants but she is my best friend. it is also heart breaking to me that i could have been so close to her for so many more years if i wouldn't have been a rotten teenager. i wish i could have that time back to be the kid she deserved. i know I've grown up since then and I'm not the same person i was then , but i want to let her know i really am sorry for any time i made her sad or worried. why is it that you always look back and say man mom you were right? i wish we all always did or said the things we are supposed to, but that isn't always realistic is it? It has also been hard because she is the one i confide in and how do i confide in her when it's about her? my close friends (Rachele and Allison)have been wonderful to listen to me and offer their help with my children. i hope they know how much they mean to me. my emotions come and go it catches me off guard sometimes and the next thing you know I'm crying again. on one of my favorite blogs i follow she said one day she was traveling with her children and using the GPS and it told her to turn , well the GPS didn't know that where a field once was , was a new high way. she related this to God and said that is how we are, we can only see the field and he can see the high way. well i bawled like a baby when i read this because it is true. We are only human and can't see everything. so while God knew my mom would need this surgery i did not. i am thank full for Him and know he will be with her during the surgery. everything will be fine. I would appreciate any of you to please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. this was really more for myself than a new post, but i needed it. i love you mom.

Dylan .....

This video is for my mom. Dylan has been copying kayson & myklin lately. they have been saying " boom boom fire power " off of night at the museum 2. this is his version. He also has started saying " follow me mom". then at the end of the video he has " love you ke ke " meaning grandma keelie.
Dylan loves his grandma keelie, we all do. She is a pretty special person in our lives. I am so grateful God gave her to me for a mother and a grandma for my kids. we couldn't have it any better. we love you mom.

What's better than anything on a Hot Summer Day?

So Summer is here and we're loving it! We have
the best friends and the best weather to enjoy
the summer. Yesterday my friend Rachele
and I sat & watched the kids play in the pool
for about 3 to 4 hours. How much fun is it
to have your friends have kids that are
friends with your kids. They are the sweetest
family and we are so lucky to have them as
friends. Then our other friend Allison came
by and we chatted some more. I would just
like to say how much I appreciate their
friendship and love being their friend. :)
We also took the kids to Pirate Island Pizza
on Monday but of course my batteries went
dead in the camera:( Well the kids had a blast
doing both things. And we have more planned
for summer, can't hardly wait!! Also myklin
had a ball game on Tuesday and kayson got
another award at scouts(pics to come later)
