My Friends are Gorgeous...

I wish I had a picture, but last night as we were saying goodbye after an very nice visit and meal I thought my friends looked beautiful in the Porqupine light. Amy Stephanie, Sarah, Lisa, Becky, Haley I am so glad we get together. What a fun blessing in my life to have friends that knew me way back when. Even as far back as kindergarten Amy and Sarah. It make me glad to be alive.

WARNING: This is NOT Gorgeous. Be glad the camera wasn't higher!

Yes that is Pride and Predjudice in the background. Second Cancer surgery one year ago this month.

Five things that make me smile...Thanks Tara

1. When Utah beats Colorado St. 49 t 16 (I was close!).
2. Benji's hugs and cuddles.
3. When Dan does the dishes or any chore.
4. A fall breeze with Sun!
5. Lunch with my Mom or anyone for that matter! Anyone want Sonic today?

Go Utes!

The other day Ethan's gremlin Skyline team got invited to watch the Utah football team practice. It was so exciting for him! After the practice the got to meet some players and get autographs. You couldn't wipe the smile from his face!

The boys were swarming them getting as many as they could!

Quarterback Brian Johnson! What a guy!!

We are going to see the game today at Noon! I predict Utah 37 and Colorado St. 7
GO UTES!!!

What is my problem?

I cannot believe it has been so long since I posted anything. We have this huge camera and I don't take as many pictures as I used to. Without pictures to post I guess I figured that no one would be interested. But You know what, I miss just getting on here and getting stuff off my chest. So if you are not interested in reading my ramblings, don't. I totally understand. But I think I will do it anyway.

First, I want to say how excited I am to have another girl on the way. Everytime I feel her move I am excited. The tought of a new baby in our family to love and get to know is so joyful to think about. On the other (less important in the long run obviously) side is the great new challenge and amount of work we (mostly me) are about to undertake. It is a little scary at times. And I hate to admit this because I have always believed all children are difficult at different stages, but girls might just be more difficult in a very irrational way. Emma is definitely my hardest right now! And I have a three year old, so that is saying a lot. She is whiney, tantruming (still at 7), determined to do it always her way (even if it goes against what you have told her not to do), distracted (her teachers and I have to say her name multiple times to get her to respond), and very demanding. I am hoping this is just a phase and she will come out of it in time. She is sweet darling girl who everyone loves (especially me). Am I in for it though, with another girl waiting in the wings? Are girls really just more emotional and harder to reason with than boys?
