You know when someone is in love with you when they make (by bitting and nibbling) your name out of pretzels. Need I say more? I love you Joel, thanks for making me smile and showing me you love me in every way! 

Nov 26, 2010

So today I helped Joel take his things into the house and I put on his Big Backpack. Now I have never wanted to go backpacking and after carrying his backpack only a couple of feet I have decided that I will never do it. I just don't have it in me! The thought of having to carry all of your stuff where ever you go is just not that appealing to me.

Thanksgiving!!! This year I got to spend it with my Moms side of the family and we almost had everyone there we where just missing Scotts family (Wish you where there) We had a couple of extra guest this year as well. My uncle Jeff brought two of his friends, the other guest was the love of my life Joel! I am so happy that he came back from Australia to spend the Holidays with me. (I wasn't very good at taking a picture of him coming home, I kind of forgot I was to happy that he was home). Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

I got to play mom today for Marissa, and I loved every min of it. I did her hair and makeup and got her already for her clogging performance tonight. Now normally you wouldn't see me at one of these... I hate clogging and at heart I am a dancer and to me clogging is not dancing if it was it would be called danclogging. But having my mom out of town I bit my lip and took her, and WOW she can really clog! She is the best one out there and I really enjoyed watching her. Love you Marissa!!

Yay!!!! They final got these stop light working, I have to drive through this intersection every day on my way to work, and they have had them up for weeks now not working and today they work. It was a mess at this intersection when they didn't have the stop lights. It was even a bigger mess once they put the stop lights up that didn't work. But now I think they have got things under control and life at this intersection will be better for all.

My Mom finally came home for the hospital today. She went in yesterday to have some surgery done and gave us a little scar. After she had been out for a little while they took her blood pressure and it was really low 70/40 (which I am told is very low). Then she started to have some swelling that shouldn't have been happening so the doctor said that was it she was staying over night. We all where hoping that she would be home in the morning but it took her til the afternoon today to finally get her home. My aunt Amanda was so kind and brought dinner into us. The younger kids are really happy to have their mom home they haven't left her side. I am so glad that she came home and is doing much better! Love you mom (don't be too mad about the picture you look great!)

Landon went to the dentist today. He had four small cavities in the back bottom four teeth. He was so good, he just jumped up into the chair and opened him mouth, I couldn't have been a prouder mom then at that moment. The only time that Landon cried was after it was all done and I picked him up to give him a hug. After we left the Dentist Office Landon decided that he didn't like the way it felt to have your mouth numb, he thought that he has a fat lip. It was so cute he kept asking me to look at his fat lip. He wouldn't eat, talk, smile, or give kisses because he didn't want to hurt is lip. I sure do love that little guy!

After a restless sleep I woke up to a... well somewhat of a nice surprise.... It snowed!!!!! The first snow of the season. Winter has finally come and now that it is here I am not sure I want it to be here. Landon was so happy it snowed he wanted to run right out and play in it with nothing on but pj's on. I don't think it is going to stay around for long there is only a small amount so it should melt by the end of the day. I am afraid to say that there might be more on the way this week.

I am starting my Blog up again. So here I Go. After having Joel here for 2 nice months, I drove him down to Las Vegas to drop him off at the airport so that he could go to Australia to work for 9 long months (hopefully not longer). I not happy about it at all. I didn't realize how much I would miss him. As he walked through security I kept wishing that he would change his mind but.... He didn't and now is on his way clear across the world. The drive home is not to bad. I am sure there are plenty of tears to come. I miss you Love the house is so quite with out you. I can't wait til we meet up again in exactly 3 months from today!!!! I love you and Miss you!!!!! 

Aug 26, 2010

My mom is the best she took me to my favorite store "The Buckle" and bought me a couple pairs of pants and some shirts. They are so cute and I love them Thanks mom I really enjoyed the day with you. I love you so much we will have to spend more time together.

Aug 25, 2010

Today was the day to take Landon to the Dentist, he was so good hopped right up on to the table put his ear phones in and watch a movie while they cleaned his teeth. He didn't even put up a fight, after we went to Wal-mart and got a toy. He is a good little boy and the light of my life!!!!!

Aug 24, 2010

I finally decided that I was going to start running again. I had been running at camp and was running a couple of miles a day, so I was really excited about continuing to run once I got back home. Let me tell you that only 3 min. into my run I thought that I was going to die!!!!!! Here in cedar there is no oxygen in the air, my lungs where burnning so bad. But what kept me going was the beautiful scenery that I was able to run in. (defiantly don't see this in Decatur MI).

Aug 23, 2010

I have meet some great people at camp and I have been skyping some of them. This is a picture of landon and me talking to one of my friends. (also forgot to take a picture for this day, so i had to cheat a little).

We both laughed and really enjoyed spending the time together that we missed while I was at camp. Sure do love this little boy!!!

Aug 20, 2010

My little Landon needed to go potty so because he is such a great little boy he went running into the bathroom to go when all of a sudden I hear BOOM!!! and my little boy screaming at the top of his lungs... Being a mom my heart stops and I went running.... As I run into the bathroom I see my little boy holding his peepee :(. Come to find out the toilet seat fell on him while he was going to bathroom. It was so sad!!!! Now being a girl I had no idea what you do when that happens (I mean that has never happen to me so what can you expect out of me right?) I had to call my dad for help... So this is picture of him after it all and seeing him sit on the couch I couldn't help but take a picture and put it on my blog.... Love you monkey!!!!

Aug 19, 2010

Finally I get to have a home cooked meal!!!! Setting around the table with the family I have really missed. (Although dad didn't think of about me when he was preparing the food and didn't cook enough.... I guess I have just been gone to long). I am so happy to be home and with the family. I can't stop giving and receiving hugs and kisses from/to everyone. I sure do love and missed my family!!!!!

Aug 18, 2010

I wouldn't call it an upgrade... would you?

Aug 17, 2010

First day back in the real world and spent most of the day doing my laundry. I have to say that the people who did my laundry at camp really don't know how to clean cloths!!! I washed each batch of laundry twice and they have never looked cleaner in nine weeks!!!

Aug 16, 2010

After a night of fun, dancing and laughing, It is time to say our goodbyes. I am sad to be having the summer end, I made some great friends and my life changed so much and I coming back a new person that I like and happy about it.

Aug 14, 2010

The kids are gone and for all of our hard work the camp took all out for dinner at a really nice place. These are all the girls that I work with all summer. They are a great bunch of girls and I am going to miss them!!! Thanks for a great summer!!!

This is the last night of camp and we have an activity that is called Color Days and it is about 3 days of competition. The competition is ended with the team captain starting a fire and burning the rope. This is the boys red team burning the rope and winning!!!!

Aug 12, 2010

After getting all the sleep I could fit in. I decided to venture out, I ended up in the GG PC where everyone that was in there laughed and giggled at me because I still may or may not have been on my drugs. This is one of my good friends that I made at camp. Her name is Shana, she is the director of the Glen and did a great job. She is a hard worker and I appreciate all she did for me. Thanks Shana I couldn't have asked for a better friend and boss. I will miss you and please lets stay in touch!!!

Aug 11, 2010

So because of all of the drugs that they gave me and I mean the good ones!!!! There really is no picture for today. I spent the whole day and night sleeping!!!!! I think I needed. So sorry sleep was a little more important then worrying about a picture for the day!!!!! Plus I couldn't Move Ouch!!!!

Aug 10, 2010

After I master my cartwheel I decided to start working on harder moves. Class was just about to end and my campers had been working hard and they wanted me to show them what I had been working on so I went to do a backwalk over on the beam... Pinched a nerve and fell right on the beam hurting my back really bad!!!! The camp ended up call the ambulance and the people at the hospital thought that I might have broke my back it took them 7 hours and a couple of x-rays to decided that I had badly bruised my Spine :( But no need to worry they have me the good stuff, so not very much pain after that. The picture is coming soon but it is of me being high on drugs and holding a glove balloon. Pretending to hold my best friends hand (You know who you are).

Aug 9, 2010

Finally I remembered to take my camera down to gymnastics so that I could record myself doing by biggest accomplishment of the summer doing a cartwheel on the high beam!!!! I even added a few jumps in at the end just for fun.. So here it is!!!!

Aug 8, 2010

I was road guarding today, helping the kids cross the street when out of the corner of my eye I see this little guy crossing the street. I picked him up and for the rest of the day he went where I went. We played a game of tug-of-war (he was a snapping turtle so I would put a stick in his mouth and he would bite down then I would try and take it out) and we also played Tag and for some reason I was always it (I would put him down and he would run away funny guy) I named him Fredrick. At the end of the day I set him free into the wild by the lake.

Aug 7, 2010

Today was International Day!!!!! We celebrated all of the different nationalities that in the world. They started with singing all of the national anthems and then party for a couple of hours then we got to eat food from different place. It was a fun day!!!!!

Aug 6, 2010

July 22, 2010

So funny today, these campers worn't looking at me and I said to then that I didn't think that they had eyes in the back of their heads so could they please turn around, they both looked at each other and decided that they could make it look like they had eyes in the back of thier heads... Funny right!!!

Getting Started July 15, 2010

So i met this guy at camp who takes a picture everyday of something and then posts it on his blog, this helps him and his friends and family know what he is doing and all that good stuff. I loved the idea, so I asked my mom for a camera and being the great mom that she is sent one to me and now with only a week left of camp I am going to start this and i can't wait. So this is the very first picture that i took on my camera. This is my best friend Katie. We do everything together, I don't know what I am going to do with out her when camp is over!!!!!
