Mirror Image

When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you queen for a day,
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that woman has to say.

For it isn’t your father or mother or husbands
Who judgment upon you must pass,
The woman whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.

She’s the woman to please never mind all the rest.
For she’s with you clear up to the end,
And you’ve passed the most dangerous, difficult test
If the woman in the glass is your friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years.
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be the heartaches and tears
If you’ve cheated the woman in the glass.

Thriller

Last night me and my sister-in-law went out to Tuacahn to see Thriller. It was amazing! I just love dancing, and it was all dancing. There were these Zombies walking around trying to scare people. Their costumes were so cool. It is the second time I've been out to Tuacahn. The only other time was when I went out to see Cinderella with my friend Kim. That was a really fun show too. I'm thankful for a great husband who stays home and watches the kids so I can get out once in awhile. He told me at dinner that he is happy that I'm going out and doing something for myself because I run myself ragged around here. Anyways...it was a great night.
Happy Halloween!! I hope everyone has a great day.

Hailey's Birthday

Hailey then and now


I can not believe it has been three years since I had Hailey. Time goes faster and faster as I get older. Tonight is has also been 3 years since the last time I talked to my Dad. I remember my Brother calling me at the hospital and putting my Dad on the phone with me, and my Dad saying Hello and telling me that he is not doing to good. 2 days later on Nov 1st, he died. I miss my Dad. I'm still so grateful for Heavenly Father who knows me so well. I believe he timed Hailey's birth and my Dad's death so close together so that I would not be overwhelmed with sorrow, instead I would be celebrating the birth of my child. And it worked.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAILEY! Last night when she went to bed I stayed up and decorated the house so that when she woke up in the morning it would be the first thing she saw. And might I add, she was very excited. Then we just hung out for the day, and then after Matt and the girls got home is when it got busy. We had to go and pick up her cake, then we went to the Bear mill and she got to build a bear, compliments of my sister-in-law (she owns the Bear Mill) that was a lot of fun. She picked a blue bear and dressed it up in a Bee Halloween costume. Very cute. Then we had to come home and get dressed up to go to the Primary Halloween Carnival. That was a lot of fun too. Somewhere in between all of that we actually ate dinner and opened presents.

My new computer

Matt built me a new computer. My other one was old and slow and black. So here is a picture of my new computer. Thank you Honey!

My coat rack

I'm trying to tap into my creative side. This is what I've got so far. I did not put names on it cause I figured anyone who came to my house and saw it, would already know who the people are.

Hatch

So the kids and I went to Hatch yesterday to take Matt a package he was waiting for. Everything was great. The trip was nice. I love having a DVD in the van. The kids were so good all the way up and back. The room we stay in has 2 Queen beds.
Erin, Autumn and Hailey sleep in one bed and Me, Matt and Davin sleep in the other bed. Well at 12:30am Hailey decided to wake up and throw a fit. She wanted her Mom, I could not move or I would wake up Davin. Well she was screaming and there was no way she could come over and sleep with us. We all were cramped. Finally I decided to risk waking up Davin and went over to cuddle with her. After cuddling with her she calmed down. Matt was so mad at her. She freaked out for like 30 minutes. He had to be up early the next morning so this tantrum was not good.
Ok, so this is the conversation that took place after everyone was back in bed and calmed down, Matt was still trying to calm down, he was very upset at Hailey.
Hailey: Daddy?
silence for a few seconds
Matt: What?
Hailey: I love you.
silence for a few seconds
Matt: I love you too.
Hailey: I love Mommy and Daddy.
Matt: I know.
Hailey: I love baby cheetos.
Matt: lol
Me:lol

It was really cute and sweet. She knows how to work her Daddy.

A new calling

So Matt and I both received a new calling yesterday at church. Matt is the Secretary to the Elders Quorum, and I'm the Cub Scout leader to the Bears, also known as the Den Mother. I will be meeting with the 9 year old boys every Tuesday and doing activities with them and a lesson. I'm excited about it. I thought it was cool that Matt and I both got a calling on the same day.
I also still do the Relief Society enrichment committee. We are planning Super Saturday now. It's going to be a lot of fun.

Family Pictures

These are just some of our pictures. I actually have 409 pictures. Teresa Allsop ( a friend in our ward) took us out to a place in Washington and took our pictures. They all turned out so beautiful. I wish I could post them all on my blog. These pictures were taken on Sept 30, 2008.
