LOST:summer.....

I seem to have lost my summer. Has anyone seen it???? I know I haven't posted much lately but we have been really busy and things have been crazy most of the summer.

Summer has just flown by so fast for me. I can't believe that it is time for school to start. You would think that after being with two extremely wild and crazy boys for several months that I would be ready to send them off to school but it is actually the opposite. I am not ready for them to go back to school. I have enjoyed our time together and really wish that we had more time to do things. I guess we will now have to try and fit in fun things with school and homework.

We had a pretty busy summer with a couple of vacations, several doctors appointments, the caring for a sick dog and the lose of that dog, the addition to the family, and the just hanging out and having fun.

We only got to go to St. George once this summer because of things that happened and changes that took place this summer. We did get to go to Yellowstone the first week of July and that was so AWESOME. I meant to post about it and post pictures but never got around to it with everything that happened with my dog and everything since then.

We found out this summer that both my boys have allergies pretty bad. They are both allergic to alot but my youngest is worse. He is allergic to cats, dogs, horses, grasses, trees, weeds, molds, etc......oh and cashews. So now we have to pack an epi pin and keep him away from all tree nuts especially cashews. With him starting school we have had tons of paper work to fill out regarding his allergy and epi pin and regarding his asthma.

The rest of our summer flew by and we just hung out at home playing in the pool out back and going to lunch and the park a few times and taking care of things at home.


So......has anyone seen my summer? If so can you PLEASE RETURN IT TO ME NOW CAUSE I DESPERATELY NEED AND WANT IT BACK!!!!!!!!

One of the Worst Weeks ever!!!!!!!!

December 1995 - July 10, 2008


This has been the worst week ever. It all started Friday July 4th. We just got back home from a vacation and I see my "baby girl" (my dog). I have known for sometime that she was getting old and she has been sick for like the past year, the vet said last year that she had lupus and she has had problems with her back hips for several years but I get home and get told that she almost didn't make it before I got home and that my sister had her in to the vet the day before and they had to give her IV fluids and couple of shots just so that she would make it until we got home. So from Friday on I was having to hand feed her whatever she would eat, which was mostly eggs and popsicles and I was having to help her down the stairs to go outside and even ended up packing her several time outside to go potty. Then on Monday night she started having seizures....luckily she only had a few but things just kept getting worse. She quit drinking water and most of the time she just laid around close by me and slept. Then today she really started having problems. I knew she wasn't going to make it much longer but she sure was putting up a fight. I had hoped that she would go on her own but she wasn't so I had to make the difficult decision to put her down. So today my baby past on. I have had her for 12 1/2 great years and we are going to miss her more then anything.....well at least I will. I came home a little while ago from my mom's and it was so hard walking in the door knowing that she isn't here anymore to greet us when we come home....she isn't here anymore for me to love when I am feeling down. Some people may think I am weird for calling her my "baby girl" but I am a serious dog lover and she was just like one of my kids. So to my baby girl Caralina(Pooh Bear).....I love you so much and I miss you!!!!

WOW!!!!! 5 years!!!!!!!

While we were in Saint George last week we took a drive and went thru Snow Canyon. It is really beautiful there.

Summer Has Arrived (at least it did in St George for a few days)

I think summer finally arrived and we took our first little trip of the summer and went down to Saint George for a few days. The weather was pretty nice. We just hung out at the pool since that is what the boys love to do.

Yes this one is a little crazy but we love him.

This one didn't want to get out of the pool.

Of course I ended up getting a little sunburned.

They really love playing in the water.

picture of mom

This is a beautiful drawing done by my very talented son Kaiden. He is a budding artist at the young age of 5 years. That is a lovely picture of me, his mother. For those of you that know me...can't you just see the likeness. Well no matter what anyone else thinks......I think he did a SUPER job!!!!!!

Graduation Day

Can't believe that I have another one that is graduating. The years just seem to really fly by so fast. This time it was the graduation of my youngest one from preschool. He is going to be a big kindergartener in the fall.
