These cute kids belong to me! Please excuse Brooke. She was crying for some reason. I can't even remember why now. Then after church her mouth was blue from some candy. I was destined to not get a good picture.</div>

We did baskets in the morning and then had pancakes for breakfast. After that we got ready for church, the whole reason we celebrate Easter. I felt very blessed to go to church and listen to the talks and to teach my 5 year olds all about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was a great day spent with my family. Of course, the only thing missing was Sean. I miss him so much. I can not wait for the day that we are a whole family again!!<br />

This year Wenatchee weekend fell on Easter Weekend. It's not very good timing if you have children, and your husband lives in another state. We decided we would leave early Friday morning and come back Saturday evening. It actually worked out great, and as always I had so much fun. We got into Leavenworth just in time to eat at Fresh Burger. It was a really yummy hamburger place that filled us up until we shopped around a little, picked up our packets and made our way to Visconti's. The #1 Italian restaurant in Washington! After dinner we headed back to our room to talk and just enjoy each others company. I was in a room with Amy, Kirsten, and Ashley. </div>

Here is my family that I love so much. Chance, Mindy and I did the half marathon and my mom and dad walked the 10k. Mindy pr'd by 23 minutes. I took it easy and ran with Vivian. I have been dealing with some knee pain which I hope gets better real soon.<br />

It's been 3 weeks since I've seen Sean. I know that's not a long time, but I still have 4 weeks until he comes homes for one last visit. This has been a true test for us and as much as I don't want to move, I can't wait to wake up in his arms every morning. I want to be there when he gets home from work. I want to go to church as a family every Sunday. I want to go out on regular dates. I just want to be a family again!!! When we get there it will be a little over 7 months since this all started. At times, I really didn't think we would survive, but I know we will and we will be stronger because of it!</div>

Amy and I have been walking for months now. It's usually on Tuesday and Thursday right after we drop off the kids. I have 1 hour before I need to head down to crossfit. We walk in the cold, rain, snow and sun. Lately it has been pretty nice and this was our shadow and our walk this past Thursday. I will miss this time with Amy. We talk about anything and everything as we walk and sometime run. I hope I can find running, walking, and crossfitting friends in Utah! All my friends will be sorely missed!</div>

My parents took out 2 trees in their yard a few days ago and I used my dead lifting skills to help with the clean up. Sometimes it just feels good to feel strong! Excuse the face. I never can make a decent face lifting something heavy. </div>

When we went to Utah we took a look at our house. This is a little nook as you come down the stairs to the basement. I want to recreate something like this in this spot. This makes me happy. I just like the look of it.<br />

I've never really been a quote person but as I have had my struggles in recent months, it really has helped me read them and feel better about a lot of different things. Especially the quotes I get from my church leaders which is most of them. </div>

I have had some really highs and and some super lows in the last month and I knew if I didn't write now, I would forget a lot of important stuff. This is my only journal so this is mostly for me but maybe someone else will find it a little bit interesting too.<br />
<br />
It started about the end of February and our house had been on the market for about 4 months. It wasn't selling. We had about 50-75 people come through to look at it. It was clean and in great condition so I figured we would have no problem selling. We priced it reasonably and even dropped the price a few times. And still not one offer.(well, one but it was for about 30,000 less than we were asking) We were feeling like it was crunch time. I didn't want to lose the house we had picked out in Utah so after talking it over back and forth with Sean we decided we would rent. We would have lost money as it was, (Sean's company was picking that up but we could also use that money for a down payment on our new house) so we felt this was our best option. We hired a rental company and I posted it on my FB page. My sister shared it on hers and a friend of hers shared it on her page and within a day we had a renter. Good Renters even!!! They were very clean people and he was a landscaper by trade so we knew he would take care of the lawn. They wanted to be in the house within 2 weeks. So chaos began. Sean flew in and we started packing like crazy. We contacted the owners of the house we were buying in Utah and made an agreement that we would buy the house but rent it back to them until June so the kids could finish school here and their house would be done that they were building. Everything was falling into place and within 2 weeks we were moved in with my parents. I drove to Utah with Sean with all our stuff to put it in a storage unit there. That was a fun drive. Just him and I and the open road! I enjoyed my weekend there but then came back to get settled into my parents house. We all adjusted rather quickly and have loved our time here with my parents. (except Socks-she made need medication!)<br />
<br />
Back up a a few days to the last night we had in our house. We had everything packed up and ready to go and we were all feeling sad. Connor had come down and told us he didn't want to move. Of course, that broke my heart and my already fragile self almost lost it. Well, I did lose it! I could control myself. I started thinking about what was actually happening and I realized I couldn't and wouldn't make this move. Sean was getting ready to go to the store for a lock for the truck and I told myself that I would go with him and break the news that I can't do this. Not 2 minutes after that thought came into my head, we got a knock at the door. Connor ran upstairs as we both said we didn't want to answer it. Sean and I were crying and we looked like we had been run over. I answered it anyway and there stood our dear friend, President McCombs. (he is our old stake president of our church) He had no idea the struggles we were going through but he said he was on his way to a meeting and felt like he needed to stop by. He didn't even know that it was our last night in the house. We invited him in and I just broke down in his arms. He held Sean and I as I told him that I couldn't do this. My whole life is in Washington. I have never lived anywhere else in my entire life. My parents, my sister, my friends, my house, everything that I knew were here!! He took me by the shoulders and looked me in the eye and told me that I COULD DO IT AND THAT I WOULD DO IT! At that very moment, I was released from all the negative feelings I had been having. I felt my Savior putting his arms around me as this great man hugged me and told me it was going to be OK. I have never felt anything like it and I was so grateful that this man listened to the spirit and chose to drive to our house instead of his meeting. He saved me that day! I'm even more grateful to know that my Heavenly Father would loves me and cares for me enough to send him to our home. He also had all the kids come downstairs and we knelt in prayer as he offered the most sweet and sincere prayer I have ever heard. We all cried and hugged and felt much better. Since that day I often need to be reminded the feelings I felt that night. I still get down and I still feel like I can't do this at times but I know this is where we are suppose to be and I will forever be grateful to President McCombs for his gift to me that night.<br />
<br />
I visited with a very close friend yesterday and she gave me some great advice. One of the things was that she encouraged me to write down all these feeling I've been having because there have been many and to remember them when the adversary tries to get at me. I needed her advice more than she knew and I'm grateful that I went to her house so I could talk to her. <br />
<br />
Sean applied for many jobs in Washington. It wasn't for a lack of trying that he didn't get a job here. He applied for one job in Utah after we talked about the possibility. From the first email that was sent, he had a sykpe call with them a day later, they then flew him out a day or two after that and by the next week on 11-11 my life would be forever changed when he got an email with an offer attached. The way it happened so fast led me to believe we needed to be there for some reason. I don't think it sunk in until a few weeks later and even more until spring break when we went there and toured the house. I'm still in denial a little bit, but I miss Sean like crazy! We have been apart for almost 5 months with him having 3 trips here and me taking 4 trips there. I'm not going to lie. Being a single mom is hard and one of the perks of living with my parents is that I have a little extra help. I finally have some more adults in the house.<br />
<br />
As I listened to conference this weekend, a lot of things really hit home for me. I think the most important one was Pres. Uchtdorf's (which by the way I got to meet when we went to Utah for spring break. I took Kaylee and Brooke to the Woman's general meeting with Kim and Jessie and we ran in to him as we were going to Alan's office. He stopped and talked to us and shook our hand. He was very kind and it was an experience me or the kids will never forget. Unfortunately Cierra wasn't able to come due to getting lice and finding out about it an hour before we had to leave. That was no fun and I felt so bad for her. First time she has ever dealt with it and it was not pretty. Luckily it was cleared up quick so we could enjoy the rest of our vacation.) talk. He talked about being grateful for what we have and not dwelling on the negative. He said, "How often do we want to see the rainbow without thanking god for the rain!" It's so true. I realized that I was always focusing on the negative and not being grateful for all the wonderful things I have. I have 4 healthy children that I adore and love with all my heart. I have a husband that loves me and is so good to me. He cares about my feelings and is always looking out for what I need. He has a good job (wrong state-but it's still a great job!:)) I belong to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints which has forever changed my life for the better. I have a body that allows me to run and do crossfit which I love. I have learned to like vegetables which is a miracle in itself! I have a daughter who can drive which cuts down on me running around tremendously. We have a beautiful home in Syracuse (again, wrong state-Sorry, still adjusting!) that has 7 bedrooms with an office and a beautiful backyard. The church is literally in our backyard which is amazing! I have healthy parents that I love and know that I will see often. I have a sister who after battling with her weight for most of her life, has lost all her weight and feels amazing. I have too many friends to even count that I adore and look up to in so many ways. There are many more things that I am grateful for but this post is getting way too long as it is.<br />
<br />
I guess I will just wrap up the month of March and start fresh Sunday with new shorter posts.<br />

Brooke brought in a bowl of snow and gets it out of the freezer every once in awhile and plays in it with her pet shops!<br />

This past weekend our church put on a daddy daughter dance. It was such a hit! Brooke loved it and I was very grateful that my dad could step in and take her since Sean is in Utah. Brooke was sad at first that her dad couldn't be here and said she didn't want to go but when she saw the invitation, and it said you could bring your grandpa, she was so excited! They had a great time together. </div>

Leo Wayne was born to Blake and Megan on January 23rd in the wee hours of the morning. He was 7lbs 10oz. and is healthy with a full head of hair. Sean kept me updated as he waited to see his first grandchild. He is a very proud grandpa. He waited to get a peek before he went home for a few hours of sleep before he went to work. He is a definite cutie and I was excited to come visit the following weekend. We stopped by to visit and bring the new parents a meal. Sean got Leo a little basketball hoop because that was the first gift he got Blake as a baby. I went with the more practical gift and gave me them an outfit.:)</div>

Here is 3 generations of Elwell's! Sean doesn't look like he could be a grandpa!</div>
<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368881386574103870.post-82951220841013527412014-01-21T08:02:00.001-08:002014-01-21T08:02:26.310-08:00All About a wonderful man!!Warning!! This may get a little mushy, but I feel the need to share with you how incredibly blessed I am to married to such a wonderful man. The sad thing is that I think I am just realizing HOW lucky I am. These last 5 months have been a true test of my faith and I like to think when this trial is over, I will be a stronger person. Scratch that! I KNOW I will be a stronger person. It's no secret that we have been struggling as a family. With Sean living 800 miles away, I will be the first to admit, this is hard! I don't think I knew just how hard it would be. Sean traveled for his job and was gone a lot so I was used to it, or so I thought. Nope! He would at least come home on the weekends and give me a break so I could survive the upcoming week.<br />
The first few weeks of him being gone was ok. I managed! Trying to keep the house spotless, taking care of 4 kids and trying to stay above water was manageable. But it slowly wore on me until I thought I would die if I had to feed my children or drive them anywhere. (the 2 worst things about being a mom) Add in a few other things that could go wrong and I and I just wanted to crawl in a hole and never come out.<br />
Luckily, my husband came home because he knew I needed him. It was only for the weekend but it was what I needed. After working through a few things, I again feel like I can conquer the world. My kids are even getting fed. (most of the time)<br />
Sean is amazing and is always looking out for my best interest. He's not the big cuddly bear and sometimes he gets frustrated but I know its only because he wants us to be happy. He doesn't like it when he can't fix things. He is the hardest worker ever. He works hard at his job to provide for his family and then he is constantly serving. All the time! He is very dedicated to his family first, then church, and then to his work. Almost every night I talk to him, he is doing something for someone. He's either helping a family move, shoveling the snow at the church and every Saturday you will find him at the temple from 5am-5pm. We aren't there with him! He could be laying around watching football.<br />
I love this man with all my heart. He gives me everything I need and loves me fully everyday. I luckily had someone very important to me remind me of this recently. It came just at the right time. This person told me that Sean should be the single most important person in my life. Above my children and everyone else. I don't always do that, but I will now.<br />
Sean-I love you to the moon and back and I am beyond blessed to be able to spend eternity with you!<br />
I CAN'T MAKE IT WITHOUT YOU!!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368881386574103870.post-67421515884099182472014-01-13T20:19:00.001-08:002014-01-13T20:19:10.674-08:00Tough Week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week was tough! I'm really struggling with the fact that I will be moving to Utah soon. Sean has been in Utah now for about 8 weeks and it is getting hard! You would think I would be use to it with all his traveling he did, but I would always get a break on the weekends. Not now, except for an occasional one here and there. He did come home this weekend because of the hard time I was having and I appreciate that. He (along with Anna) also set up a little gathering with some of my friends to come over and lift my spirits. They came in singing and we had a big group hug. I really appreciated it. President Barker, our Stake President came over too and gave me a wonderful blessing. It has helped me a lot. I'm so grateful for the wonderful friends and family I have here. I will never forget any of them and I will be back often!! (And anyone is welcome to visit me anytime they want!!)</div>

This week was going to be all fun and games for the Elwell's! The kids were off for one more week and we were going to party....That is until Brooke got sick New Years Eve. It didn't last long but she was in bed for 24 hours. That day was shot, except the kids kept an eye on her and I got to sneak in a 10 mile run with my sister. That was good because I really needed to get out. </div>

The next day we were feeling good and I thought we were in the clear and no one else would catch it. I was wrong! The next day I got it and was in bed all day. It effected me a little differently. I didn't throw up but was not able to do anything. Brooke made me a nice card and they basically all just hung out downstairs. I'm sure Brooke had cereal all 3 meals but at least she was fed. </div>

Connor went with Chance, Austin Grandma and Grandpa to Ifly and had a blast. He thought it was a lot of fun and wished it was a longer ride. Grandpa even thought it was fun.:) Then they were treated to Red Robin by grandma and grandpa!</div>

It wasn't a total flop of a week but I was hoping to do more. We got a few shopping trips in and a few games played. I was kind of sad to see them off to school this morning but then when the house was all quiet, I realized what I had been missing and was glad to be back to my schedule.<br />
My back was in some serious pain last night. Not sure what happened, but I received a blessing and kept ice on it and it is feeling better this morning. I will be laying low today!!<br />

Sean was only here for 5 short days but we lived it up while he was here. On Monday I surprised him with a trip to the Salish Lodge for a night. It was much needed! Although it was a little spendy, it was worth every penny! We had the best Italian dinner at a little Italian restaurant in Snoqualmie. It was seriously, the best Italian food I have ever had. We also had a very tasty breakfast that we ordered the night before so we could wake up to breakfast in bed!</div>

We got home Christmas eve! We grabbed the kids from the Gailey's and then went home to prepare food and get ready for a day of fun family time. We started our festivities off with the kids making gingerbread houses. It was fun for them all, even the older kids. Chance and Kaylee really got in to it while Connor's was pretty much a flop.<br />

We then had our first annual White Elephant exchange. It was fun for almost everyone. Brooke had a few tears when she thought someone was going to steal her gift. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We then took a drive to a near by neighborhood to see some really nice decorations. Some people go all out! As for us, we didn't put up any lights this year. We were lucky to get a tree up. I wouldn't have bothered if the kids hadn't insisted. I wasn't really in the Christmas spirit this year and really just tried to focus on my family and the true meaning of Christmas.</div>

After the kids went upstairs for the evening,(37 out of 38 of my Christmas eves have been spent sleeping at my parents house) Santa came and did his magic! Brooke was very excited to hear Santa as he came to the house. He called everyone by name and ate the cookies and was off! <br />

We always go out to breakfast afterwards. We were there by 8 o'clock! We got in and out pretty fast. Kaylee and Connor went with their dad and the rest of us hung out for the day. We ate and maybe took a snooze and just enjoyed each others company. <br />

All in all it was a very Merry Christmas. I could say it's my last Christmas in Washington, but that is not true! We will be here or my family will be in Utah. But I will have many more Washington Christmas'! Merry Christmas as we celebrate our Savior!

The last few days have been wonderful! Sean was able to take a few days off and come see us. It was much needed. I didn't even realize how much, until he got here. He almost didn't make it either. His flight was suppose to arrive at 10:30 on Friday night and he finally got in around 2am. They closed the Salt Lake airport the day before he left, which really scared me but besides everything being delayed, he made it!!! </div>

Then we took Brooke over to grandma and grandpas for a special day of seeing Fantasy lights and blizzards at Dairy Queen while we took the other 3 to the temple to do baptisms. It was Cierra's first time going since she turned 12 recently. She loved it and on the way home asked when we could go back. <br />

Sunday evening is being spent being together with our family hanging out on the couch watching Christmas movies. I love them more than words can say.

Cierra started do little runs back about 5-6 years ago. She would do 1k races just for fun. I think she did them because I would sign her up and she would have no choice. She never was a fan of running, but then again, either was I. I hated running until about 8 years ago. It's amazing how things can change.</div>

Cierra then did another 1k race the year I did my first ever 12k at the Sound to Narrows run. (Connor and Sean did the 1k also. I have now done 17 half marathons and 5 marathons with a few 12ks, 10ks and 5ks in between)<br />

She joined a run club coached by Tiffany Shakespeare (an amazing runner and friend) and did the Turkey Trot in Snoqualmie in November 2009. I remember she didn't like it much but she kept doing run club and her mile was about 15 minutes at this time.<br />

The next year she did her first 5k race down at the Orting Trail. She whined and cried the whole way and I was ready to leave her and go run my own race but she never quit!! I was so proud of her as I saw the look of pure joy when she crossed the finish line. I know that feeling well! You don't have to be fast to cross the finish line, you just have to finish!!! And that she did! (my sister did her first ever 10k race this day too.)</div>

Cierra went on to do the Christmas Rush with Shaylyn and Grandma and Grandpa. It was freezing cold but she did it. At this point, I really don't think she liked running but she continued on!(my parents decided they needed to get in on the fun and have done several 5ks, and even a few half marathons since this day too.)<br />

She did another race for the YMCA and the Puyallup Fair grounds. Auntie ran this one with her, while Sean and I did a 10k. We met up with her towards the end. (Chance did also. He wasn't a runner at the time but is now doing a 21 minute 5k-He's amazing) <br />

I'm sure I've missed a few runs that she did, but that about sums up her running journey thus far. Yesterday she did the Reindeer run and ran it with one of the coaches of the run club team. She got her fastest time and was definitely feeling it when it was done. </div>

Afterwards they had a run club awards ceremony where Cierra received the award for most improved. We she started this journey, she wasn't in the best of shape. She never gave up and kept continuing to improve. Her first timed was a little over a 15 minute mile. Her last timed mile was an 8:03. She works hard and has my drive for exercise, which I love! I know she will continue to improve and will be able to get the iron woman award for doing a timed mile in 7:30 or less.(an award that her run club does and is still willing to give to her when she completes it, even if it's after we move to Utah!) I know she will get it by spring and I can't wait to see it!</div>

(on a side note: Cierra is just 16 days away from doing one sweet a month for the whole year! She has worked hard to change her eating habits and I am so proud of her. She started crossfit in September and her coach there as helped her to get strong but also to teach her about eating healthy. They did a food challenge in October and Cierra won first place.)</div>

It's been a long time!!!!I can't even believe it has been a year since I posted anything. I started a project life scrapbook where you take a picture every day for a year and write about it and it has replaced my blog. I think along with Facebook and instagram, blogs are kind of a thing of the past. Does anyone even read these anymore? I look at some every once in awhile but not like I used to. So let me see if I can catch you up with the Elwell's. We had a great year to begin with. Sean and I took a trip to Hawaii in May, which was so amazing! My parents watched the kids which we were so grateful for. In August we took a family vacation to Disneyland which was a different kind of fun!:) <br />
This is where I brag a little bit about my kids, so if you don't care you can skip this part!<br />
Kaylee-What can I say? She is perfect in every way. She really is. I wouldn't say that about anyone but her. She is the most sweet, kind hearted girl I know. She recently turned 16 and because of the high price in insurance and Sean not having a job(I'll get to that later) she still is not driving. She has a car, she has her license but no insurance yet. Has she complained about it once? Nope! Love that girl. She is keeping very busy with school, seminary, FCCLA (after school club), babysitting job, and spending time with friends and family. Connor- He's a boy that doesn't need much. He is so casual about everything. He has a kind and sensitive heart and just goes with the flow of having 3 sisters. I recently asked him what he wanted for Christmas and he said, "It's ok mom, I really don't need anything!" He wears shorts everyday to school, including today even though it was snowing. Cierra- she is my feisty one.(you have to have one, right?) She has really taken a liking to running and crossfit. A girl after my own heart! She does run club once a week and is following a training program and then does crossfit 2-3 times a week. She has been off sweets for almost a year except one special treat a month. She loves school and playing the flute as well. You will often catch her snap chatting her friends! Brooke- the baby of the family! How we love her! She is exceling in 3rd grade and loving to read. Her favorite thing to do right now is play with her best friend Baylie and a few other kids in the neighborhood. <br />
So back to the part about Sean losing his job. It was the day after we got back from Disneyland. I was getting ready to hike Mt. Si with some good friends. Sean gets an email saying there is going to be some lay offs and not 10 minutes later our phone rings. The dreaded call!!! Yep, after 10 years at Heinz they were laying Sean off along with 600 other employees. We were shocked, scared and really not sure what we were going to do. I ended up still going on the hike since it was for my birthday but had a hard day! Sean was dealing with it all pretty well and it really only took us a day or so to know that we would be just fine. We had faith that our Heavenly Father was going to take care of us! And that he did! We got a great severance package from the company along with 6 months paid insurance. Sean then started the job hunt! In 3 months time, Sean applied for 37 jobs. He had several interviews and even had a job offer or two. Nothing that we could even come close to living on though. So, about 6 weeks ago after much thought and prayer Sean and I decided to expand our job search to Utah. He applied for ONE job and I really thought nothing would come of it but was prepared just in case. A company called Greencore called him almost immediately. They did an interview through Skype and then bought him a plane ticket to come out a few days later. Before he even got home from Salt Lake they had called him to have another Skype interview with the president of the company. That took place a few days later and then a day later on 11-11-13(there is some significance to that number-I'll explain in a few) a jog offer came through. They offered him everything he could have wanted along with a pretty good moving package. So after much prayer and discussion we knew this is where we needed to be. It was the hardest decision we have ever had to make but when things like that line up like they do, you know there is a reason. We really aren't sure why we need to be in Utah, but we trust our Heavenly Father to put us where we need to be. So then it was the dreaded visit to tell my family. It still pains me to think about that day a month later. There was so much hurt and sadness. I really didn't know if I would be able to get through it. But, we did and we are adjusting. I already feel homesick and I haven't even left yet. Sean ended up having to leave that next week and has been gone for a little over 3 weeks now. I miss him like crazy! I went down the first week and found a beautiful home. Unfortunately Sean found a different beautiful home. After days of trying to decide Sean said that I have been through enough already and that I could chose whichever one I wanted. I really liked his too but his was on a year round school and mine wasn't. That was the deciding factor so we put an offer on mine! They accepted and now it is contingent on the sale of our house. Our's has been up for sale for 2 weeks and nothing yet besides a few lookers. This is not the best time of year to sell a house so we are hopeful after the first of the year, we can sell and then we will move to Syracuse Utah where we can be a whole family again. I want to get there and be with Sean and be settled but I am also not ready to leave. I will miss my mom and dad, sister and her family and my friends more than anything. But I will be visiting often and we know we will see a lot of visitors there too. Who doesn't come to Utah at least once a year?? This last 4 months, I have had to rely a lot on faith and prayer. It has truly gotten me through so much. My testimony has grown so much and I feel closer to Sean than I ever have. The kids are adjusting. I worry the most about Kaylee, but I think she will be ok once she gets there. Moving is a hard thing and its not going to be easy but it's what we need to do. <br />
<br />
Back to the 11-11 date. So, for the last several months I had been seeing 11:11 on the clock. I was almost seeing it daily. It was really weird, and then I was talking to my sister about it and so had she. Then one day my mom mentioned it and had no idea we had been seeing it all the time too. We thought maybe the world was going to end (which it kind of did) or something really crazy would happen on November 11th. Wouldn't you know that was the day Sean got the job offer? Chalk it up to a coincidence, but I know better. I was being warned.....;)<br />
Sean is coming to visit on December 20th and we are anxiously waiting. We will have one last Christmas living in Washington. We will do all of our traditions with my family because next year will not be the same. We will be Utah and my nephew Chance will be serving a mission for our church. We will come back for Christmas or my family will come to Utah but either way, I feel like I really need to soak it all up this year.<br />
I know with all we have been through, I am truly blessed. I am watched over every day along with my family. I know that God listens and answers my prayers and I am forever grateful.<br />
Thanks to a good friend (Kathryn Briggs) asking me if I would keep up my blog after we move, I am more than happy to make that happen! I would really like to post at least once a week. Hope you will comment here and there so I know you are all out there!<br />

The kids and I did a breast cancer walk that a friend of ours was putting on for a school project. It was down at the fairgrounds and you went straight up a very big hill. It was fun to do something as a family and help raise a little money for breast cancer. I know an amazing lady named Missy who fought Breast cancer and won the battle. I know not everyone is so lucky. Cierra's run club did it too.</div>

This summer we were able to get together for a Barbeque with my mom's side of the family. We had fun getting reacquainted with cousins, aunts and uncles that we haven't seen in a long time. We decided this would be an annual event and I'm looking forward to the next one!:)</div>

I have a new love but it has not replaced Sean or my 4 children, but it is right up there with them. CROSSFIT!! It is the best thing ever. I have always liked exercising but I have never been this passionate about it. I love to run and I still do that 2 days a week, but right now crossfit has my heart. People ask me about it and I have a really hard time explaining it but it is seriously the best workout ever. It is always different and I love coming in to the "box" to see what kind of fun I am going to have on that particular day.I leave dripping with sweat and it feels so good. I have gotten stronger, I have learned to eat "clean" and I love the way it makes me feel. I have some really great trainers that take the time to show me how to properly do all the workouts. Some accomplishment's that I have had recently is, I was able to deadlift 160 pounds, I can do 25 double unders(with a jump rope), I can take 4 steps doing a handstand, and I can almost do a kipping pull up without assistance. I feel strong , I feel good and that is why <strong>I</strong> do crossfit! </div>

On September 26th I did my first prescribed workout, meaning I was able to do the workout exactly as you are suppose to without having to do a lower weight or have assistance on something. This workout was wall balls and box jumps. You ended up doing 150 total of each and my time was 25:21. Since then I know I would be able to do it faster and more efficiently. You are always learning and growing in crossfit and I will do it for a very long time to come!<br />

Connor is officially a teenager even though he has been acting like one for a year! We had his birthday party at my parents house this year. They have the room and it was nice to do a movie night in their backyard. Connor chose Hunger Games to watch. I was a little unsure about how this would go over with parents but everyone was able to come. This was his first boy-girl party too....He has such a good group of friends and they all get along, I love it. I work with most of the girls at church and I love them dearly so it was fun to have them there.</div>

Cierra turned 11 on September 10th.(as you can see, I'm a little behind in blogging but <em>I</em> am trying to catch up!!) Cierra wanted to have her party at the pool this year, so that is what we did and it turned out great! She has really great friends and they all had fun. Afterwards we went outside to do cupcakes and presents. It was a little windy so we had to go behind the building to blow out the candles but she managed to do it. <br />
Cierra got money, makeup, jewelry and some accessories and she loved it all. She has been wanting a North face jacket and Tom's so that is what we got her along with an ipod case.<br />
Cierra is one feisty 11 year old but she is my most kind, loving giving child. She is the first one to get her chores done and she is always going over to help my friend and neighbor, Anna with her 5 kids. She was over there yesterday separating her 40 pounds of chicken in to bags for her.She will do anything to serve and I love her for her kind heart!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368881386574103870.post-25676040013878999042012-10-23T07:41:00.000-07:002012-10-23T07:41:24.257-07:00BIG TIME RUSH AND CODY SIMPSON!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Kaylee, Ashley and Serena saw Big Time Rush and Cody Simpson at the fair this year. They were so excited to go and I was so excited when they got out of my car after all the screaming and yelling they were doing! They had a great time and even got a picture with Cody Simpson's sister. <br />
Kaylee called me from the concert crying saying something that I could not understand. I seriously thought she had been kidnapped, but it turns out she was just so excited she had to let me know. She is crazy but I love her spunk and her fun personality! <br />
Thanks to grandma and grandpa who were the cool ones that bought her the ticket for her birthday!<br />

Every year, I say we aren't going to the fair, and every year we do! Go figure! This year we had a good reason though. Cierra played the finger symbols with her class in the exhibition hall. It was fun to watch, but Cierra seemed a little bored. We brought along Maeghan and met up with a few friends once we got there. Kaylee and Connor went to but didn't stay with us. That would have been totally uncool. I brought Connor and 3 friends, which all happened to be girls. They went and got dizzy passes and rode all the rides, while we only rode a few and then looked around at everything. Kaylee went with a group of kids and we saw her a few times but she was off doing the rides as well.</div>

We did have a great time but it is always exhausting for me. I was glad to get home and climb into bed. It's hard being a single parent when Sean travels all the time.! </div>

Kaylee turned 15 on August 12th! For her birthday we re-did her room. She did most of the work herself but I did help a little and grandma and grandpa came over to help set up her new bed. She painted her room blue and got a white bedspread with some fun blue pillows. She also got some other cute stuff and had fun re-decorating. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still can't believe I'm old enough to have a 15 year old but I guess it's true. Kaylee is a real joy to have as a daughter and has a heart of gold. I'm a little nervous for the next year since she will start dating and she will get her drivers licence but I guess we shall see how that goes.... Two very scary things for a mom! Kaylee started early morning seminary this year and so far she is doing great! She gets up at 4am Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and is there by 5:45. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Yes, it takes her that long to get ready!)</div>

Love this girl!</div>
