Merry Christmas

So lately I have felt like a total Grinch every little thing that has gone wrong lately I have blamed someone who really is not to blame. I have had a hard time feeling the Christmas Spirit and I only have myself to put that on. This year is what I hope is the close to some of the wrost year's of mine and Kenna's lives I am ready for a new start, and although the next few years will be spent without Dallas ( Sigh ) I know he will be back and it will feel like no time has passed at all. So here I am saying I am going to stop blaming myself for things that are out of my control I am going to accept that one of my best friends is leaving on his Mission and I am going to start next year with hope and faith that the worst is behind us.

Love to all and a Merry Christmas.

Update............

So we have finally moved into the new house and I think all though it is smaller than we are used to it is very cute. I love the back yard and it even has a side yard so someday Sean can get a dog. Now I just have to deal with unpacking I hate that part of moving, as a matter of fact I have gotten to were I hate everything about moving. Sean is doing great at work and has even had some offers that we are considering for the new year, I hope that things are finally starting to turn around for us. We went to Jude's baby blessing today and as I saw Sean running around with his niece Emily I know why we came back it is so important for him to be around family as it is for me as well. I loved seeing little Jude with his yellow bow tie and all the loving family that surrounded him what an amazing thing to have a loving and supportive family.

Thanks to all who read this blog even if I don't post that often.

Torn Between Two Places

This is my first blog since we got back to Saint George Utah, I just realized that I am torn between two places. I am happy to be back and yet I still really miss Idaho, it is really hard to not feel at home anywhere, don't get me wrong I am so happy to be back around my family but I left some great family and friends in Idaho as well. I just wish I could have my cake and eat it to. Sean is a lot happier I can tell, he really liked working at this Sears and I can just hear it in his voice when he is talking about it that he is happy to be back with a good company. I know we will adjust better when we have our own place and things will start to settle back down I am just not that willing to wait I am not that kind of a person I want it all now.

Kamilla I really miss you and Nick and Nicole and Sean say's most of all Wyatt. I can't wait to see you soon and be prepared for me not to want to let you go.

A Great Goodbye

So we had a great goodbye picnic with the Bells. I will add more pictures later I am still learning how to do this, This is my second post though you all should be proud.

So Wyatt was very sad to see us go!!!!

No faith

So it appears that no one believes I will blog, guess what you're part right my goal is to write once a year. But seriously people you've heard of the phone right. No I've been wanting to blog forever I just can't get up the courage to do it. I'm never as self conscious as I am when I try to write anything down.

Life's been hectic as of late. Gavin's back in school and I love hate it, love it because he's not home making noise hate it because I miss him, what are you going to do right. Piper is driving me crazy because she's so bored she's just like me she thinks life should be exciting every minute of the day and she never wants to sleep just like me she thinks the party should keep going until you just can't move anymore. Liam is getting bigger and I love it because he's smiling all the time now, he also started laughing today and he has slept straight through the night the last two nights 10 hrs. woo hoo. We took Liam to his 2 mo. appt. he now weighs 11 lbs. and has grown to 22 in. Well that's all you're going to get from me for now we'll see if I can conquer this phobia of mine.

No More......

So I have decided not to blog anymore. Kenna said she will try to start blogging, but we will have to just see.

Holy Wind Storm Batman!!!!!!!

So we had a huge wind storm Saturday night!!!!!! We lost power about 11:00 pm and I think we got it back around 4 or 5 am. At about Midnight my BBQ was blown off the patio and is now bent to all hell, and every feeding with Liam included flashlights, candles and of course tears. The next morning on the way to church we saw a couple of tree's that had been blown down, swimming pools in the wrong yards, a trampoline fliped up on end, and so many tumble weeds they almost had one car buried. I have never in my life heard wind so loud that talking to Kenna you had to speak up to be heard. The kids slept through it just fine, I even tried to wake up Gavin to give him a flashlight in case he or Piper needed to go to the bathroom and after about the fifth attempt at telling him what was going on I gave up and told him to go back to sleep. Anyway the funny thing is even though we got our power back in time to get ready for church there were other members who were not so lucky.

Anyway I just thought I would let you know what our weekend was like. How was yours?"

Update............

So looks like Liam Robert Baumann will be joining us within 3 weeks!!!!! ( I'm not ready! ) I can't wait to see the little guy I just wish I had a little more time to get some more stuff ready for him. Kenna can't wait to get this kid out and have her body back, Lisa will be coming up and so might Dallas but we are going to miss the rest of you guy's it was always such a big party when Kenna would go into labor I will miss that. So my new job is going well I just have to work 3 times as hard to make any money and I'm exhausted, plus I work 12-13 hour day's and never get to see the kids, Oh Well.

The weather here has been getting better but it's still pretty ugly outside most day's, it's hard to stay happy when it's always dark and rainy out. Well I think we are going to try and go to the Zoo so hope you are all well.

Random Pictures....

Here are just some random things from a great Saturday with the family.

So Fun..............

So the trip to Saint George was so much fun I wish we could have stayed longer. It was so nice seeing everyone I had not been back since the Marathon in October, and I was amazed at all the little things that have changed in a place I new so well not even a year ago. I loved spending time with everyone and of course that little Emily stole my heart once again, I can not get over how much I love that little girl I would move back just to be around her. : ) Believe it or not I had forgotten how pretty all the red rock's are and I loved our picnic I think Lisa did great planning all the things to keep everyone entertained and yes I am a total wimp and I'm still sore from climbing white mountain but six months ago I never would have even tried. Anyway I can't wait till we come back to bless this baby.

Okay Really...............

" In my world everyone eats rainbows and poops butterflies. " So some day's I wish this was true because on most day's I am just worn out Mentally, Physically and Spiritually and yet no matter how hard I try to relax and take it easy life just always seems to get in the way, now I'm not complaining even though it sounds like I am I just could really use a break. That's why I can not wait for our trip to Saint George I could use a family boost and a break. I am sure that at the end I will not be ready to come home and back to life. I love my job but I am on a new team that will take some getting use to but we can't all get along with everyone right? Anyway just felt like putting down on paper how I am feeling sometimes that is enough to get you by for a little while.

On a happy not I can't not wait till this new little guy graces us with his presence I hope to high hell he is better behaved then little miss Piper was but that might be to much to ask. : ) Gavin and Piper both love to feel the baby kick and it makes me so excited for them to have a new baby brother. Any hew kids are ready for bed and I am ready for some R & R hope you are all well.

The Kids..............

So these 2 sweet good looking kids are driving me nuts. They have turned into siblings, they fight over the dumbest things and taunt each other at no end. I swear they are killing the joy of adding a third to the mix. They had a lot of fun this week with the family, piper is still asking for Randi though. Anyway I also thought I would post a couple of pics for those of you who have not seen them for a while.

What to say................

Well what can I say I love Idaho I love my job and things are finally starting to look up, I thought it could never be so. I truly thank Heavenly Father for guiding us to Idaho although we are home sick and have some of our same hills to climb over this is most definantly the place we are meant to be to over come the struggles from the past 3 years. Directv has some many great perks I never new I was able to receive being a high school drop out. Great pay, Great benefits and yes it's true free t.v the best perk of all. : ) I am also very excited to have this new little baby come into our lives, besides it's not like we get to sleep right now anyway with my job and Kenna's insomnia. We still have not quit come up with a set name but we are very close, we just need to agree on 1 of two names. Anyway just thought I would check hope you all are well.

Life...........

So we have finally made the move complete, it was without a doubt one of the most exhausting things in the would to move twice in 6 months. But we are very pleased with the new place and we are very happy here.Work is going great and it comes with a ton of perks, now if I could just get over being home sick life might start going better for us. I can't wait for it to turn spring and see how pretty Idaho is in all the seasons. I really want a puppy and Kenna thinks its because I miss the whole family and maybe she is right however that does not mean I want the puppy any less. : ) Anyway just wanted to check in hope you all are well and happy.

ANGEL...........

Softly, sweetly and with much cheer the beautiful angel whispered "the new year is here". Get a fresh start and lead with your heart, forget the past its time for a fresh start.
Family that's missed celebrate with a kiss, don't shed a tear the new year is here.
Leave anger behind, clear your mind, proceed with no fear the new year is here.
Softly, sweetly and with much cheer the beautiful angel whispered " your fresh start is here".
