A much needed update!

My funny happy baby boy!
 Jett started preschool the first of September. He goes to an art academy tuesdays and thursdays. He loves it. I have been hesitant to start him because I wasnt ready to give him up. But, socially, he needed it. And, he thrives. He loves going and I love seeing his growth. It's been such a good thing. 
 He is so dang handsome. 
 Chad turned 27 on the 13th of September. He got season UTES tickets. He was and is in heaven. Thanks to his parents for going in on them. He has enjoyed it. I give him way too much grief about it all the time, but truth be told, I am thrilled for him. He deserves it. 
 Chad's boss invited us to go to Lake Powell to stay on his house boat. He is so good to us. Neither Chad or I have been and it definitely didn't disappoint. It was gorgeous. We had a lot of fun. 
 Jett playing in the amazing sand. They dug a gigantic hole and played in it.
 Cute jammy boy
 Random cute one of Baby Cakes.
 Jett going off the slide on the back of the houseboat. He was in heaven. Everyone was impressed he dared do everything he did. He is an adventure junkie like his dad.
 Two of the cutest men in my life.
 He was so mad I didnt let him play in the sand too much. He only wanted to eat it and I envisioned a sand filled diaper, resulting in sand filled crevices. Didnt wan to deal with it. Im a meanie.
 My main squeeze looking all handsome waiting for his boy to swim over to him to get on.
 Jett loved loved loved it.
 Prepping to go down the slide.
 This is right after he told me "I love it mom!" When I asked if he liked his day. 

Going up the stairs for another turn down the slide. 


Playing horseshoes. 
My boys. I look fabulous as you can tell. Haha. I am just not one of those girls who manages to look flawless even when boating and swimming. Deal with it :)



Funny story. Jett wanted to go tubing. We didn't think he should do it alone, so I went. All was well until Chad's boss got on the speaker and told Jett to kick his feet if he wanted to go faster. Boy, did Jett kick. We went faster and Jett was loving it. I on the other hand was freaking out. I am getting too old for this crap :) He kept yelling "Go over the waterfall, go over the waterfall!" (aka the wake from the boat and tube). He loved it. 
Chad getting set up to go water skiing. 
Amazing boys. 

Wahoo. He did great. He usually only wake boards and never skiis. He decided to give it a try and no surprise he was awesome at it. 
Chad's boss' wife Debbie with Kaleb man. They loved our boys. They are some of the nicest people Chad and I know. They are pretty great people. 
Chad helping drive us in on the last day. 
Chad's boss Gordon told Jett he needed his help steering or else we would crash. Jett thought he was so special and amazing. I am so grateful for the Boothe's. They do so much for Chad and I. We are so happy to have been invited. 
These are two pictures of sweet Kaleb. They are on his birthday invitation. He is turning ONE on friday.  It is so weird. We are having a rodeo theme. Cant wait. 
The best darn rootin' tootin' cowboy around.

Love this cover...

Here's the beautiful Adele singing

I have loved Adele, even before "Rolling in the Deep". She has been one of my very favorties. She is simply angelic. I love how her music makes you feel pensive and at the same time content. Anyway, here is a LOVELY cover of her song "Someone Like You" (my all time favorite Adele song off her album 21). Just wanted to share this...

AND

I will be updating soon with...

Jett's first day of pre-school

UPDATE...

LOST FRIEND 
FOUND FRIEND!!!!

He was technically kidnapped from our front yard. A sweet gal saw him and took him home to be safe and then she had to go to work until 4am, but then she saw the flyers on the way home and called us first thing this morning. We are so lucky and grateful she did that. Even if he was in our front yard/our neighbors...I didnt know he was out and he could've went who knows where if she hadn't. 
THANK GOODNESS FOR HONEST PEOPLE!!!! 


I like to think he didnt run away, but  that he simply wandered too far and got lost. He is missing. After working a grave and coming home and not sleeping at all I decided it would be a good idea to go to the post office around Noon. We left and came home and Raider was no longer inside or in the backyard. All I can think of, is that he must've made a mad dash out the door when I was leaving and I didnt notice in my sleepless state. He is still gone and it is 9:00PM. I miss him. My heart aches like it would for a missing child. I hate thinking of him all alone and cold and hungry. Or with strangers, even if they are loving him. I have cried so hard today. I honestly havent cried this hard since the passing of my sister. I know, I am pathetic. He is just a dog. But, he is more than that too me. I love him. He is a member of my family. Jett is devastated. He keeps asking when he is coming home. I called the pound and they are helping in the search. We have hung flyers. I drove and walked the neighborhood 6 times and even went further. I miss him. I love him. I want him. Tonight at dinner, I wanted so much for him to be there drooling on the floor begging for food. My heart feels empty. My lap feels empty. I am sad. RAIDER PLEASE COME HOME...

I was here...




(mute the music at the end of the blog)

Isn't it all of our goal to leave a mark and touch people's lives? I have always wanted to do something great with my life. When I started college I wanted to go into a field that would allow me to do so. I chose to go into Communications and English. I just new it would take me great places.

Chad came home from his mission and I knew in my heart I was meant to marry him and start that life. I knew it. So, I gave up my dream of moving to New York or somewhere equally amazing. Soon after getting married (and after graduating college)... I became a stay-at-home-mom. I honestly have an inner battle all the time with what I want out of life. I love being a mom, but I want to be something more as well. I day dream about a big career or being an author or something like that. Silly, I know. But, I really really want to leave my mark on this world.
THEN...
Today, I was sitting in my closet after cleaning up the mess Jett and Kaleb made for the hundredth time and Jett walked in and plopped his cute little self on my lap eating a popsicle and it hit me...I HAVE LEFT MY MARK. Just, in a different way than I originally thought. Some people become doctors, entertainers, philosophers and many other things...but some of us are lucky enough to be mom's. I need to remember just how lucky I am to have the chance to mother healthy, strong, and adorable kids. Some would give anything to have this opportunity. 

Jett and Kaleb are amazing and I am proud to be their mom. They will grow up to be something amazing and possibly do amazing things. I have been trusted enough to encourage them along their way and to make sure they get there. 

I know I can still do whatever I want in my life, and I plan to do so; but for now I am meant to be their mom and Chad's wife. It is enough. I am enough for them. I am all they want and need. I am proud to leave my mark through Jett and Kaleb and our family. 

 Kaleb at 1 month old
Jett at 1 month old
 So, here's my mark. Enjoy them!!! I know I do.
