Its Party Time!!!!

We had so much fun for Lorens birthday party this year, but I am so glad it is over!!!! We did our normal party for her, we had some awesome marinated chicken with salads, chips and drinks. A really good friend of ours, Nicole, made Lorens birthday cake this year and it was so cute. Nicole is leaving this fall for Culanary School and I think she is going to do awesome! Loren got very spoiled for her birthday and didn't know what to start playing with first. When I was a little girl, my dad built a barbie house for me and this year we gave it to Loren for her birthday with LOTS of barbies and accessories. Thank You everyone that was able to come celebrate this special day with us and Loren! I couldn't narrow it down on the pictures so just bare with me, please!!!!!

Loren is 3!!!!!

I know this is a few weeks late but life is kind of out of control right now! I can't believe that my little girl is 3!!!! Loren has brought so much joy into our lives, I can't even explain all of my feelings for this little girl. In the last few weeks it seems like she has grown up soooo much and I start getting kind of sad! The things she says and the things she does is amazing. I love it when she comes running up to me and says "your my mom"!!! Yes Loren, I am your mom and I hope one day I will be your best friend! The sparkle this little girl has in her eye brightens up my days so much. In the next few months she will be starting preschool and dance and as happy as I am for these events to take place I am also so sad that she is growing up sooo fast. Here is a few pictures of the last 3 years of Lorens awesome journey that will be continuing for many many years to come!

MAJOR UPDATE!!!!!!

Holy cow, it has been way to long since I have posted anything on here! I have a friend that keeps telling me I need to update, the truth is, I'm having a hard time finding the time!!!!!!! We've been gone so much and so many things have been going on in our lives.
In January I went skiing for my very first time ever! My boss up at Jermans took the employees to snowbird for the weekend and paid for everything, which was very awesome and very nice! The very last day and the very last run, I was doing awesome until I hit some ice and the wind came up behind me, it all went, or shall I say, I went down hill from there! I ended up dislocating my right knee. I've recovered really well from that accident, thank goodness!!!! Just a few weeks after that happend, Loren got really sick! She would throw up one night and than be fine, she would go a few days and than throw up again and be fine. She never ran a fever or any other flu signs. This went on for about a week, I finally took her to the doctor and he diagnosed her with abdominal migraines!!! I still don't completely believe that thats what she had cause the following Monday she woke up and the right side of her face was swollen. I took her back to the doctor and he said she had a gum infection that had spread to her cheek. I got her into a dentist and he said she had a abcess tooth! The really crappy thing is he wouldn't do anything about it till that Friday. Tuesday morning when she woke up after being up all night, her face was almost double the size!! I called a pediatric dentist in Salt Lake and he told us to bring her in right away!!!! So off we went for a LONG 4 hour car ride, but very thankful to have family in Tooele to help out with whatever we needed. The dentist ended up just pulling Lorens tooth out, but by the next day the swelling was basically gone! Finally I thought we were on the road to recovery and everything would get back to normal, well think again! The following week Loren got a really bad cough that would make her throw up! I took her to the doctor and she was on the verge of pneummonia!!!! SERIOUSLY?? What else could go wrong in this family?? Oh I know, I ended up loosing my waitressing job because I had missed so much with Loren! I was pretty upset and pissed over that whole deal but at least I know that I was in the right place. I was with my daughter and family, right where I belong! So things started getting back to normal and everything seemed to be going really good. Well the night before April Fools, Jaxon fell and burned both hands (the right was the worse) on our wood burning stove. Off to the ER we go, the wrapped both hands and we've had to go to physical therapy every day! I had to take Loren to Tooele for a dentist appointment and while we were there his fingers started to swell up. I took Jaxon into U of U burn center and they started him on antibiotic. He is doing much better now and is even started using his right hand a little! Everything seems to finally be coming to an end and hopefully we stay on the right road to stay healthy cause right now I am SICK of DOCTORS!!!!!!!!
On a little brighter note..... I FINALLY started my apprenticeship for cosmetology and it is AMAZING!!!!!! I have learned so much and feel really confident in myself! I'm 54 hours away from being able to work on people and I can't wait! I am so excited!
I will post pictures of the last couple of months the next time I get on and have a little time!
