Cameo College

So guess who finally is going to school for something Ive wanted to do for a looooong time!?!? This girl right here. Im so excited!! I am going to Cameo College of Essential Beauty to be a Nail Technician. I am loving it.

I have been struggling for a long time with depression and I finally have my medications figured out and am feeling really good but I think school is doing more for me then the medicine is at the moment. Im still adjusting Im going full time so its been hard on me and the family. Its only a 10wk course but I am just going to bask in these 10wks! Hopefully when the kids are all in school Ill be able to go back and do the Master Esthetic's course too.

So if any of you are in need of some Nail Tech services give Cameo a call and set up an appointment with me. Im limited to what I can do by what Ive learned so for now it will have to be a mani or pedi or our new thing called Shellac, its great for those of you who like the more natural nail look. Hope to see ya there :)

Life is Good!!

Just thought I would share.....

Running

Ive been needing a little something to get my butt back in gear and I got a wonderful message from my incredibly awesome cousin Caron asking me to do a 10K with her. Well Ive never been a runner, I actually HATE running but I thought I would give it a try. So she has set me up with this awesome daily schedule tailored just to me. I am so excited, and maybe I can get close to my weight loss goal in time for my 30th (yes I said 30th) b day. Ill post pics and stats when I fill a little more secure with myself and have some afters to share. Love you all and any info or support you'd like to throw my way on my journey is always appreciate. Ill keep you posted, thanks for stopping by.

Im Baaaack

The whole family on Thanksgiving of this year.

(Wyatt really is a happy boy)

So I haven't posted in a loooooong time. Its going to be a new year so I thought I would fill you in on the past year.

Aaron is still at Kennecott and still loves it. He is taking very good care of us.

Rylee is doing great in school (no surprise there) she is on a high school reading level. Not to mention she can spell better then me and Aaron put together. She took a break with doing jazz dancing this year and did her first year in hip hop and also break dancing. I never thought Rylee would be able to move that way. Shes doing great.

Carlee has shown a lot of improvement with her speech and school work. She a work in progress. She had her tonsils removed in Aug. the Dr said her adenoids were so big they were standing up in the back all on there own. The problem with her adenoids being so big caused her pallet not to flatten out the way it was supposed to so now she is wearing and REA (appliance) in her mouth to help spread that out. She is still dancing, she's decided she doesn't want to do the jazz thing anymore so she is just doing hip hop and she LOVES it!!

Dollee, hmmm where do I start? Any of you who read this and are friends with me on Facebook can understand what I'm talking about. That kid runs me in circles!!! She also started dance this year, she had here first dance recital this month. So cute when she was done she said "I want to dance on the stage again tomorrow!" Some of the things Dollee has said this year, Ill tell her to be careful with something i.e. her dad, or the dogs Dollees reply "but they're not glass!", "Mom my girls wont get me a drink!" Its always My Girls like she owns them. Her favorite song for the year was Pinks So What. If we were riding in the car anywhere it would be "Mom put on Rock Moves" even when we took the 40min drive down to see my Mom it would be on repeat. I use to really love that song. I'm going to try and start blogging when she does something.

Last but not least our little (not so little) Wyatt man. He is a very big boy!! He is only about 4lbs lighter then Dollee but he only goes to her shoulders. I could never imagine how different boys and girls can be until I had him. He is such a boy. Right now he is all about dinosaurs, cars and Hulk. When that little boy looks at me he melts my heart.

I love my family so much I'm such a lucky girl!! Ill try to be better about updating my blog. I promise!! Thanks for stopping by.

Happy St Patty's Day!!

Hi

So I haven't blogged in awhile, we have been busy around here. We moved, not too far away still in good old WJ! The kids had a GREAT Christmas, spoiled as usual. Wyatt had a little scare this last Friday. He had a big bump on his cute little bum. It doubled in size over night so I decided to take him in to the handsome Dr Jackson. Well he decided it was a cyst that had to be cut open and drain at Primary Childrens. Can we say no fun!?! I made Aaron come home from work and go with us because there was no freakin way I could handle that. I can barely handle immunizations let alone cutting his poor little bum open. So they drained it and we will know more next friday, but he is getting back to his normal happy self. Cute little guy! I have to say THANK YOU sooo much to my good friend Debbie who took care of all the girls for me while we were dealing with the situation. I don't know what I would do with our Debbie, my Mom is just too far away nowadays. Well that is what is going on for now, maybe when I get 2 seconds (haha) I will write more. I want to post some pics from Christmas in Wyoming when I get a chance. They are cute.

Christmas show

The girls had thier Christmas dance recital on the 4th of December this year. Usually it is a really, really rough run through so I don't make a huge deal out of it but this year they were AWESOME!!! I was soooo proud of them. They all did soooo good!

This is Dollee making faces for the camera, she was having fun watching but got a little bored.

Rylee's dance to "Ladies Choice" from Hairspray. They did soooo good!! I was really, really proud of them!

Thanksgiving

Ok I'm a little late but I had a very, very slow computer and so it took forever to post anything. But thanks to Aaron I now have a very, very fast computer so I will be updating more. Thanks Honey!

So for Thanksgiving this year (and every year for that matter) we went to my Mom's house. Aaron had to work so it was just me and the kids. It was nice we don't really make a big to do about Thanksgiving. We have good food, Lot's of it and mainly just enjoy the company of each other. Here are some pictures we took.
