Jackson is 8 !!!
Jackson turned 8 in July 27th and received a lot of gifts,which has be great for me. His favorite gift is Mario carts Wii and he loves to play with his uncles online. He is such a great big brother and has showed Corbin how to play, which I have been able to read the Eclipse and take it easy to heal. It is so fun to see him grow up to a great person.
ZOO DAY!!!
On Wednesday all us mom and kids went to the zoo which we do every year. Lydna makes the best lunch that no one would even come close to. It was very fun the kids were able to see the bird show which Corbin can not stop talking about it. The girls well, did there girl things. Jackson hung around aunt Kim most of the time. I think he just liked the stroller, but he does love his aunt Kim very much. If you watch my slide show you can see how many kids that has been added to the bunch. We always take a picture in front of the giraffes not sure why but it is fun to see the kids grow. They sure have changed the zoo a lot. It is nothing like it was when I was little. But it is so much more fun to see my boys have fun and watch the animals.
4th of July
The kids decided to run in the Muray .5 mile run. Jackson came in around 7 minutes. And Corbin with his little sore legs ran his heart out. It was the most amazing thing to see because he was 1 of the last ones in. We could see it in his eyes how bad he was hurting. He wanted so badly to run this race because he said "Owen was running it". Aunt Sue ran most of the way with him cheering him on. The crowds on the sides cheering him as well. They both made it and both received a little metal, which they both are so happy to have. What an accomplishment it was for both. We are very proud parents.
What happened???
Remember when you were sitting in class in high school and think how you can not wait to be done with school. And can not wait to living on your own, not having to answer to anyone. Well I remember how great it would be. But then there are those things that no ones tell you anything about like bills, finding the right place to live, having the right job, and then starting a family. Why is that we do not tell are youth about this? I do not remember have being told how hard life is. There was one thing that stands out the must in my mind is my mother saying" I can not wait for you to have kids, cause you will be just like me." Ha Ha why would I want to be like my mom? She did not know what she is talking about. Well guess what I am finding out that there are so many things that I do that she did with me that I do to my kids. I know that I will never live to be half the person that she is. But I know now how right she was about life....
Getting ready for the wedding
Today I was able to go with my soon to be sister-law to shoot a wedding video. She desided to go up to the Red butte gardens, wow it was beautiful. She had planned for her friend to be there to help her out but she found out today that she has mono. So she called me arround 11:00am in stress cause she need to have someone help her into her dress. So I did not want to stress her out anymore than she was, I decided to go. I had called Sue to see if she would watch the boys and being the sweet heart that she is she said yes. Well there was one little miner detail that I forgot. I did not tell Chris where the boys were. To make a long story short Chris was mad. (oh well).
It is so hard to think that my little bratty brother has found someone to put up with him, let me tell you he really scored. Jordan has ADD which when he was little no one could stand him. I can't believe that he is tying the knot. When he returned from his mission he had totally changed it was so hard for me to see my little brother so grown up. I still think of him as 14 and bugging me about how I was dating and I always went tanning and of course playing jokes on me. But after all of that I am so happy but also sad at the sometime. I am starting realize that the world does not stop when your 20. This will be the last family wedding out of both Chris and I family I do not know if I am ready. But I guess ready or not it will be done.........
