Welcome Back!

So I got a little caught up in life and haven't updated this in ohhhh about 6 months. Ooops. I have made a promise to myself that I will be better about keeping this as up to date as I can. I hope that promise to myself works out better than other promises I have made and broke to myself...we are all human right. :) I don't have a great Internet connection right now so pictures will have to come later, BUT I will give you all, yes that is right all 8 of my followers, a quick update.

November:
Kam and I moved to Tremonton, UT. It is now April and I still have yet to make any friends here. haha. It is nice to be just 30 minutes from home. My family is close enough that I can visit and far enough that I can escape.

December:
Kam turned 3. This is a touchy subject for me due to the fact that I have a conversation with Kam on a weekly basis about how important it is to NOT grow up too fast. It's not working. I appreciate any and all advice on how to prevent them from growing up. Thank you.

January:
Happy new year! I made a lot of resolutions. Too many to name, and I really don't want to be reminded of how little I have accomplished. Some of them, however, were to be a better cook, read more (not only to Kam, but also for leisure), save more money, quit smoking, and be a better person. I can successfully say I am no longer a smoker, I have read 4 books this year, started to be a crazy coupon lady, and I learned how to make some new dinner dishes. As for being a better person, well love me or hate me I am a John and I am stubborn, that one could take awhile.... :)

February:
My little brother turned sweet 16, I still remember him learning how to ride his bike. My dad also had a birthday but I am sure he would appreciate me not discussing his age on my blog or let alone the world wide web. Kam and I had a quiet Valentines day together drinking kool-aid and eating pizza.

March:
I turned 23. Yes 23. Good gravy I am getting old. I started using wrinkle creams also. As of now the only other birthday I have to look forward to is my 25th because my insurance rates will drop. After that it is all down hill, or at least towards the hill that we go "over". I started a new job at Dillards and so far I really like it. I am thankful for all my customer service experience, it really helped me land a good paying job.

April:
Kam started at a new daycare/preschool. He is already taking so much away from it. I can't believe how smart my kid is. I know, I know I am probably bias, (probably is an understatement. I know I am) but I am just so damn proud of my son.

That is our last 6 months in a nutshell. Pictures will be posted soon. Hopefully. Until next time :)

4th of July

This 4th of July my sisters both came to Malad and brought all the kids. We only get together like this once or twice a year so it was really fun to see all the cousins together. Kam had a blast with them.

All the cousins. I am so glad Kam turned around in this one just in time for me to catch how excited he was.

Kam looking at the horses. He loved them!

priceLESS

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This picture is definately worth that, maybe more. I love Kam's face in it. It sums him up. Proud and happy are the first 2 words of thousands that come to mind.

gourmet...cupcakes :]]

So one morning, at 7:15 I woke up to Kam staring at me holding cupcake papers. I knew that it was going to be a fun day from the get go. Well it turns out he didn't have anything to make them except the paper things. So we made a trip to the store, got the necessary items, and baked our little hearts out. He was the happiest little boy ever that day. It was also the night before a trip to Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Phil's house so he was able to take some to Grandpa Phil for his birthday. You better believe he held them the whole way to Pocatello.

what is LOVE

The other day Kam and I were playing around and Kam looked up and said "I love you mommy!" I smiled and said "Well I love you too Kam!" We kept going back and forth with I love yous and so I decided to ask him "What does love mean?" Without skipping a beat he looks right at me and says "Me and you!" I almost started crying. I know that my little boy is someone special, but sometimes the things he says and does just blow me away. Thank you Kam, for everything you do.

viva LAS VEGAS

I was able to have a little me time this September, and where better to have that time than in Vegas?! I had never been before and after going I asked myself "why did I wait 22 years?" It was very hot and very crowded, but it was a blast! I got to see some really cool things, eat some really good food, pay wayyy too much for a bottle of water and cross off #12 on the bucket list, get a tattoo in sin city. Here are just a few pictures from the very long weekend!

...my lil cowboy...

Kam has decided that he is going to be a cowboy. Living with Grandma and Grandpa triggered this idea, that I am sure of. Kam loves to ride the horses, watch rodeos, feed the steers, and has decided that when he is a "really big boy" he will ride bulls. I am fine with everything except for that last part. Just the thought of him on a bull scares me. If this idea sticks around, I just hope we have great insurance on him. We may need it.
