2009-12-13T21:18:00.000-08:00

quick up date. IT has been snowing up here forever it seems like. I left my camera at my friends house so as soon as i get that back i will add pictures. I am done with my semester of nursing school. It was intense but fun. I start back in january and i can't wait. I will graduate in April so that will be a giant relief. Cindy is loving the snow and want me to take her snow boarding. the only problem with that is i am not cordinated enough to tie both my legs to one board, that is asking to get something broken. That is about all. hope life is threating everyone well.

Cindy blowing out her b-day cake. This was all thanks to her uncle Collin. Nick and I forgot candles and a lighter, so Collin ran to target and bought some candles for his niece. What a good uncle. Not to mention he came and helped us with the kids.

2009-03-25T18:01:00.000-07:00

2009-03-25T17:42:00.000-07:00

Here is cindy roasting marshmallows out in her fire. It wouldn't be so bad, but now she thinks she has to have one at my house.

2009-03-25T17:30:00.000-07:00

Here is cindy with her grandpa out by her fire pit that he made her in his back yard. He is getting soft in his old age!

2009-03-25T17:01:00.000-07:00

Here is some late pictures of cindy coming home from surgery. She is all doped up on morphine. This is right before she threw up all over the car. Good times.

2009-03-06T18:56:00.000-08:00

Well I guess i forgot to tell everyone about my job. I work for a company called Lincare doing home health stuff. Mostly cpap and bi pap set ups. It is different, but nice. I really enjoy working there. Cindy is doing well. The surgery didn't stop her to much. She is back running around like a mad women! I have applied to Weber State to finish my RN in the fall. But i don't know if i am ready to go back to school again and be broke again. Any way, i don't really have any pics yet sorry.

up date

2009-02-24T17:05:00.000-08:00

Just an update. Cindy had her surgery today, all went well. Her leg is doing fine, however I'm not so sure my car is fine. She threw up twice!! I had a barf bucket, but she failed to use it. The doc said we will have to go back up in about 9m0 to get the plate taken out. Sorry I don't post very often any more. Working 40 hours a week really sucks!! Not to mention all of our computers crashed so we just barely got them working. hope all is well with every one.

2009-02-15T19:33:00.000-08:00

Here is cindy at build a bear on valentines day. It was packed! She had so much fun. I can't believe I spent $42 on one stupid bear! Now she has a family of monkeys. She has to sleep with all them. She is my little monkey! It was the best valentines day i have ever had. Nick was even getting into dressing the monkey

2009-02-15T19:26:00.000-08:00

This is nick and I getting ready for our big v-day date. I love him so much. He is my Valentine for ever. This is cindy and cricklynn just before we left. we were taking cindy to build a bare. I wanted to take cricklynn, but build a bare is so expensive.

Nick surprised me again! more flowers!
They are purple calililies. I love them! and yes they won't die. I can replant them and they will continue to grow. That is max, He snuck in the house, i just thought he is so cute.

2009-02-06T11:29:00.000-08:00

well i am board and waiting for the bus to drop off cindy so i thought i would tell you all about my exciting past two days. On Wednesday both itzie and max got caught in bob cat traps, and i had to hike up this huge mountain to get them out. Here's the bad part, I didn't know how to open them. poor itzie's mouth was caught along with her foot, it was horrible. and max just looked like uh crap i got caught again. yes again. you would think that dumb dog would learn. They both are ok. Yesterday i got a wild hair up my ... and i decided to cut my hair. yep, i chopped it off. I will post a picture when I don't look like i have been though chemo. Hope all is well with everyone.

2009-02-01T16:40:00.000-08:00

well today we got our first calling in the church. Kinda scary. we are the nursery leaders. I think it will be fun. we get to go and play with little kids. I think it will be good for nick and I, not to mention it will get me showered on Sundays.

2009-02-01T16:23:00.000-08:00

After golfing Cindy played arcade games and won a lot of tickets. I haven't been in traflaga for years. They have redone the hole inside. The golfing area is all painted in glow in the dark paint. It looks really cool, this picture doesn't give it Justice.

2009-02-01T16:16:00.000-08:00

Here is nick at his best. Cindy didn't like it when we kissed!

2009-02-01T16:10:00.000-08:00

On Saturday we went to traflaga. It was so much fun the mini golf. Cindy got two holes in one!

2009-02-01T16:03:00.000-08:00

Thank you for all of those who supported me through school. especially my husband and my mom and dad. I know i spent a lot of long nights studying and nick had to pick up the slack. Thanks honey. These are some pictures after graduation.

2009-02-01T15:50:00.000-08:00

This is Cindy sleeping with her new monkey curious George. She got it up at primary children's while she was getting her cat scan. she will go in for surgery on her knee soon, we are just waiting to hear from the doc.

2009-01-27T11:17:00.000-08:00

Nick surprised me with these flowers for a congratulations for passing my state test. He got me these because I don't really like flowers because they just die. so these won't. see he can be sweet.

2009-01-27T11:10:00.000-08:00

Cindy with sleeping beauty and me with cindy and cricklynn. We had so much fun.

2009-01-27T11:03:00.000-08:00

After eating I went back to see if we could get in and we could! They were so excited. They played bean bag toss, fishing pound, made crowns and got there face painted.

2009-01-27T10:54:00.000-08:00

On Saturday we took Cindy and her friend cricklynn to a princess party hosted by the SF drama department. They were so excited. After waiting in the rain, freezing to death for 45 min, they came out and told us there wasn't anymore room. We had some really up set little grils. We took them to Carl's Jr to try and make up for the disappointment.

2009-01-27T10:43:00.000-08:00

Because I have had so much time on my hands I decided to learn how to make homemade chicken noodle soup at my moms. Cindy helped of course. We had a huge flour mess after but it was fun. I thought i would share my husband wonderful face with everyone. He was waiting for the soup to get done.

2009-01-27T10:36:00.000-08:00

Cindy and I went on a hike the other day. I was board so we hiked through 2 ft of snow to her favorite place. She really likes to sit on the ledge and look out over the valley. I gives me a minor heart attack!

2009-01-23T10:28:00.000-08:00

I thought I would let everyone know that I passed my LPN state test! now I can officially say I am an LPN. I was so nervous to look. Nothing new is going on in my life. Nicks car is still broke and sitting in my drive way. Cindy goes to primary children's on Monday to have her leg looked at, and I am just a huge bum. no really, I sit home all day! I need a job so bad!! Hope all is well for everyone.

2009-01-11T20:23:00.000-08:00

2009-01-02T19:21:00.000-08:00

Santa came!! This is just his pile, she got more from mom and dad. It is good thing we only have one or we would have to take out a second morgage. Look she got too much powder on her face.

2009-01-02T19:10:00.000-08:00

This is picture of the out side of the doll house. Look at Cindy's face, she just got her own sewing machine from grandma. She'll know how before i will.

2008-12-21T20:44:00.000-08:00

This is tuesday after my last final. I thought what better way to celebrate than to go sledding with my daughter. We went up and down that hill so many times. I swear the hill kept getting longer, my legs burned so bad. I guess i need to exercise. we had a blast!!

2008-12-21T20:38:00.000-08:00

The four-sum. I am going to miss you guys!! From left to right is lindsey,me, angel, and amanda. This after our first final, we were all out in the hall trying to breath before our next final started.

2008-12-21T20:24:00.000-08:00

I know this ornament is hard to see, but is very special to our little family. This ornament went all the Afghanistan and back. It was a piece of home for nick while he was gone. I houng in the common area on their christmas tree. All the soilders had one. Nick said it was nice to see after a longs days work. I can't believe it has been four years!! I keep this on the tree every year so we don't forget how fragail our family is, so we remember that others are still gone, and there are those that won't ever come home.

2008-12-21T20:10:00.000-08:00

This is my parents, and this is cindy getting ready to give me a puppet show. We had this huge box and she played with it for hours!! Always love big boxes.

2008-12-21T19:58:00.000-08:00

Here is Cindy at our family christmas party with some of her cousins. The next picture is her waiting patiently for her present. And finally the present the grandma great gave all the girls, it was a box full of ear rings.

2008-12-19T16:52:00.000-08:00

This is just going to be blabbering. My last day of school was on Tuesday, and we had our graduation dinner last night. It was weird to think that I won't be seeing all of my good friends everyday. Over the last year i have made some really good friends, and I am thankful for them. I am glad that I done with portion of nursing school, but sad as well. to all my friends, have a merry Christmas!

2008-12-19T16:38:00.000-08:00

This is my little angel, or that is what she was in the church play. They were all so cute.

Isn't she so cute with santa. she asked for polly pockets, the only problem is i think she owns everyone that is made!

2008-12-19T16:19:00.000-08:00

Look at nick, this is the first snow of the season, and yes that is a snow shovel in his hand. I thought i should take a picute to capture the moment.

This is my dog, Max. I just thought this was a cute picture.

2008-12-14T19:46:00.000-08:00

Ok it is hard to see but right after we got all the lights on the tee, the bottom half went out. Ahh... So anyway, it is not going to get changed. the tree in the middle is cindys in her living room. And yes she also has one in her bedroom.

So it is the first snow of the year!! of course cindy had to right out in it.

We were trying to make a snowman, but it got to cold.

2008-12-01T18:51:00.000-08:00

This is suzi and me at the Halloween party. I was really sick, that is why i am on the couch. It wasn't to long after this picture I fell asleep. Lexi is the one in pink, she had little wes the next day. I chose this picture of marie because she is always being goofy.

2008-12-01T18:43:00.000-08:00

Here is cindy with grandpa layne. Nick and I got dressed up to take her trick or treating. He was a vampire ( no relation to edward) and I was a devil. Cindy loves her grandma great, and of course she had a special bag of candy just for here.

2008-12-01T18:39:00.000-08:00

So I should be doing homework right now, but this sounded funner. I haven't posted in a while, so here goes. It was halloween day when we finaly got around to carving pumpkins. Cindy thought pulling out the seeds was gross! It was fun to watch.

2008-10-15T19:49:00.000-07:00

I know I haven't posted in a while... school got really busy, but I am on break for two days!! so I thought I would up date this. Can you believe Cindy is old enough for school. This is her first day of kindergarten, and yes I cried when i left. I just can't believe it she is 5!!

This is Cindy doing some sparklers on the 24th of July with her cousin Ethan and Eli.

2008-08-09T19:25:00.000-07:00

Here we are at the rodeo in Fairview, yes, hillbille hell. I was acually really fun. We went thinking it was a regular rodeo, but come to find out it was a kids rodeo.
This is the crowd of kids that went down on the grounds to try and catch animals. Yes, they let wild animals out, set our kids lose for them to catch them. Thank heaven Cindy didn't catch any. They had chicken, bunnies and even a baby cow to catch. It was crazy!!

2008-08-09T19:06:00.000-07:00

This is cindy and her cousin at the carnival. She had lot of fun!! I was terrified, some of the rides don't seem very safe.

2008-07-20T20:28:00.000-07:00

Here is cindy enjoying some cheez-it's. And She found my camera and took a picture of herself.

2008-07-20T20:20:00.000-07:00

Here are the dogs. They were having so much fun in the water. The Yellow lab is named Max and he is Cindy's dog, the black one is my dads and Max's sister. She is my dads.

2008-07-20T20:05:00.000-07:00

Grandpa and I took cindy and the dogs up Nebo for a little fun on a hot Sunday afternoon. Of course she got soaked!

2008-07-20T19:53:00.000-07:00

This is cindy having a sleep over. Ok I am a little retarted, i don't know how to flip the picture. (Suzie, a little help?)

2008-07-20T19:39:00.000-07:00

Here is view from my front prouch, at sun set. Itsn't it beautiful.

2008-07-14T16:45:00.000-07:00

Here is Cindy and her cousin Emily at my aunt Karens pool. They had so much fun. cindy went off the diving board all by herself. Of course the slide was a favorite, they went down in anyway they could think of.
Here is my bug at grandma greats doing the slip and slide with her Sanford cousins. If there is water you'll find Cindy.

2008-07-14T16:22:00.000-07:00

Here is my little sweetheart with her uncle chucky. We all were up camping and chucky is cindys favorite,( i think it's because her always has candy.)
The boys! Here is nick and Justin. Justin doesn't come down very often from Evanston, WY, so it was really fun to have him there. See this amazing rainbow! My daugher took this picture, i think we might have a litte photographer on hands. The bad thing is, is I got caught out in the rain, I got dripping wet.

2008-07-13T17:24:00.000-07:00

Cindy loves to help grandpa work on anything.Here she is helping fix his truck, well kinda of helping. Cindy l0ves to tear anything apart and try to put it back together. I have lost a lot of her toys due to this habit.

2008-07-13T17:02:00.000-07:00

Here is Cindy at lagoon, at an old telephone booth. The power had gone out and none of the rides were working so the only thing we could do was go through all the little towns at pioneer village.
Here we are again at the telephone. I am a little worried, at five she is already fascinated with phones. I can't wait till she gets older.
This is the bumper cars, and nick. It was fun. Nick kept crashing into cindy and I. We had a lot of fun at lagoon. She rode all the rides even the Wicked, the new roller coaster. She is such a dare devil.

2008-07-13T16:39:00.000-07:00

This is Cindy playing baseball with us. She is pretty good. The only problem is we didn't have any outfileders so I had to run after the ball everytime.
