I wanted to post this cute picture of my baby Zane who is going to be 3 years old on September 19th. He is my 3rd and final child and I just want to say, "Where does the time go?" On one hand I can't wait for him to grow out of all of the stages he has gone through and I can't wait for him to start school...but on the other hand I would give ANYTHING to have him this size again...
This is what you do when you have taken the more economical Honda Accord versus the comfy, roomy, Yukon on a trip to Montana and you think you are going to kill someone...
Also, yes, that is Jason's bedroom face. Hot, huh?!?
On our way to and from Bozeman we drove through Yellowstone. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. I could live without all the sulfur smell in the air but the scenery was amazing. Jason and I want to go back with just adults and spend some time hiking and exploring.
Yes...I realize that it is August 12th but better late than never, right?!?!? We were in Bozeman, Montana, staying with Mike and Donna Kroff and family. (Jason's brother and sis-in-law) Our kids were in a parade at the LDS church where Mike and Donna attend. They had a blast decorating their scooters and Zane's bike. In Montana you can still buy "real" fireworks that shoot high into the air. Not the fireworks that you can buy in Utah that barely even emits a spark. We had a blast and hope to go to Bozeman again soon!
O.K. I just want to get this off my chest...I am not someone who aspires to be a stay-at-home mom. Please don't take me wrong. I have nothing but respect and admiration for moms that can stay home and cater to their children's needs and keep their homes clean and their men happy...it is just not for me. I think I am just too selfish. I love my children and I love spending time with them but I am a better mom for working. My house may be unorganized and my laundry may not all be folded and put away but I am just someone who is fulfilled by being employed. So as the two of you that read this blog already know I have been working for Dr. Shawn Davis who is a new oral surgeon in town. I have been there for about 7 weeks now and I was promoted to office manager and given a raise. I love it!
By the way, what sparked this whole desire to vent was a blog that I read where in the "about me" section she put down that she is a wife who has the opportunity to be a stay at home mom and she keeps her house spotless (she really used those words) and cooks meals for her family. I guess my own issues have come forth and prompted me to feel insecure about the fact that currently my house is a disaster, my husband is on his way right now to pick up food for dinner, and instead of doing anything to be productive I'm blogging.
At 4:30 P.M. today I got a call from the detective on our robbery case and he said he needed to meet with me because he needed to talk with me about a few things regarding our case. I met him at Harmons-because I was just leaving the LDS church cannery-and he asked me some silly questions that he already new the answer to. He then unfolded his arms (where he had his hands hidden) to show me my wedding ring and my class ring that he has recovered for me. They are working with the girl that had my social security number to get her to "squeal" on some other people regarding drugs and part of the deal they worked with her was that she had to tell them where my ring was!!! I am so grateful and I feel so blessed to have my wedding ring back! Thanks so much Detective Josh Wilson!!!
We got robbed a month back and they arrested one of the girls who was in my house for an unrelated crime. She had my social security card and a check that one of my Scentsy customers had written me in her back pocket. The arresting officer called me and asked me if she was supposed to have the social security card and check and of course I said, "Hell, no!" The scariest part is I hadn't even noticed that my SS card was missing...Anyways...I couldn't wait to get on the Washington County website to see what the bee-atch looked like and now I'm hooked. It is surprising the amount of people that I recognize on the website that are getting arrested. One of my husbands old friends, one of our friends' brother, etc. Click on the title to take you to the website!
