Utah's Most Eligible Bachelor

2012-01-25T18:50:00.000-07:00

I am about to introduce to you one of Utah's most eligible Bachelor, Aaron Fluhman. If you don't know him, you are missing out. He is an amazing friend of ours and we are spotlighting him because he deserves a beautiful, smart, witty, lovable woman in his life. He has too many great qualities to pass up on. He is what we call my "2nd" husband because he helps me in ways Jake can't (keep it clean

Hello 2012- nice to finally meet you.

2012-01-16T21:22:00.000-07:00

My hopes, determination, and goals for 2012: "Excuse the mess, we are making memories here!" I want to finally put a sincere effort into remembering what is the most important job and priority of being a mother is. I so easily get frustrated with my children just because they are being kids and my house isn't the way I feel it should be. I am grateful for people in my life that remind me of this

Dearest 2011, You came at me with a shot gun to the head. It was not a good start of a year, that's for sure. Luckily it was all up hill from there. I learned some hard lessons and because of great friends, family, and support system, I was able to heal with almost every negative feeling that came to visit. I had many moments where I looked outside of my normal perspective and saw what a

Running Barefoot is Highly Overrated.

You know what is so sad? I couldn't wear these IF I wanted to! I always knew one day somehow someway my disability would be shown in one way or another! Darn "Running Barefoot" shoes. Thanks a bunch! ;) Wait, maybe just maybe if Dr Phil or Dr Oz get a hold of this post they will find a way to personalize a pair designed specifically only for my very "special" webbed toes. Side note: Can you

‎7 years ago I became a parent.. He has made my life so full of excitement and entertainment! I feel so blessed to have this child in our family and to be his mom.

This is a checked off my bucket list, finally. Never thought this would ever happen. To most people they look at a 5k as an easy task. Not to me, no way no how. Last year someone in my neighborhood asked me why I didn't run and I said, " my body wasn't made for running." Never would have I thought less than a year later I would sign myself up for any type of "fun run" :) I wanted to take it

No one ever looks forward to a funeral. In fact I did dread it but once we said goodbye to him and closed the casket, I was able to relax and really try to enjoy the speakers and hearing about all the unforgettable memories we had with him and amazing things he accomplished. I have always been proud to call him my grandfather but after listening at the services, I was in awe of the man he was in

What blog?

2011-09-22T12:04:00.000-06:00

Today I realized I have a blog, totally forgot about my beloved blog that I have put so much time into. So I must get reacquainted. Life has been so crazy the past few months that I haven't found any time to even think about blogging, yet somehow someway I found a way to check my FB account or look through Pinterest. Interesting right? **Warning: there could be extreme sarcasm throughout this

My special grandpa left this earth last night. This is a sad day. Hard to wake up to know he will not be here however I'm SO grateful that I was able to know such a great man. He created such an amazing family and came to every single thing to support every family member. He also had so many friends that respected him. He was in WW2 and came home to new twin girls (which one of them was my

I swear I am always having fun with my kids wherever we are. Laughing is definitely my healing medicine. Life is too serious and so many different trials, so might as well enjoy the small every day things that make us smile, even if it is for a quick second. My kids crack me up and I love that they have silly personalities along with me. So ladies and gents introducing London and Isaiah mannequin

The latest graduate.

2011-06-09T15:53:00.001-06:00

We have had a few graduates in this house lately. I'm proud of my two boys. My partner in life graduated from college, which was such hard work and dedication more than I can even comprehend. I have some pics from that day but I need to upload them still. On the other hand, I watched my little guy go into kindergarten timid and nervous and in a blink of an eye, he was graduating from that stage

Training wheels off

2011-05-26T13:37:00.000-06:00

We are sure proud of our lil buz. We went to the gym as a family and Jake's grandpa decided to come get Isaiah from us. By the time we got home, Isaiah was riding his bike like a pro MINUS the training wheels. I have been petrified of that day cause I thought it would be a very painful day.. Isaiah usually is pretty apprehensive to try things like that... but to our surprise, Grandpa Nate used
