Winter Wonderland.

For those of you who ordered the snow for Christmas ...... You can now tell it to stop.
Winter here in Idaho has finally decided to make it's appearance. For a while we went without snow here, which is unusual for Idaho this time of year. But in the last week it has decided to snow on us,, and man when it started I think it forgot to stop. GEESS. I honestly am NOT fond of the snow it's cold and makes the roads an ice skating rink and horrible to drive on. I live in the middle of no where and have to drive at least 30 minutes into town with the roads slick it takes me alot longer. I usually stay home where it is safe. Haha. It's boring yes but safer then me out there driving or at least trying to drive.
So for those who ordered this stuff please ask for it to stop so I can get out of this WINTER WONDERLAND.
On another note hope every one is finishing up with their Christmas shopping by now so they can enjoy the holidays. Merry Christmas to every one and Hope every one stays safe and warm.

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!

It is that time of year again where everyone goes insane looking for the right gift for those they love and stressing over whether or not they have the money to get all the people they love a gift. In this world some times we all forget the real reason for Christmas. I too am guilty of this. It's horrible I feel like I've lost my true Christmas spirit. I have been stressing over gifts and what to get everyone. I've been worried about whether or not I can get my boys everything they want and more. But Daniel and I have finished with the gift getting and I must say with less stress of gift giving it has made it alittle better for me. We attended a Christmas party for Daniels work Saturday it was a fun night we had a very good dinner at Stockmans off of highway 20 ( for those who haven't tried eating there I would recommend trying). My boys got to stay home by their selves for 3 hours and I worried every last minute, but they were so good I'm more then proud of them. My house was intact and they did as they would while Daniel and I are home. Then on Sunday we attended a Christmas party in Shelley for the Reeders it is Daniels mothers side of the family. It was OK very uncomfortable because I don't know as many people as I should neither does Daniel which makes me feel horrible. But it was overall a good party.

Now as the days count down to the big day my kids are becoming even more excited I can only hope it is everything they are hoping for. We have a few family traditions for Christmas. When I was a kid my mom use to make or buy us ornaments for the future trees when we moved out. So I continued that tradition and have my boys paint me ceramic ornaments I usually pick them up at Micheals craft or some where like that. My boys are doing so well with their painting now it's fun to look at them through the years and see how much growing they have done. This year they painted so well, much better then last. But of course last year they did very well too. Ha ha. Of course I would say that. We usually take the kids out to look at lights we looked at Candy Cane Lane early this year Dustin is more into the lights this year then Bradley is but Bradley is hitting that age where things of that sort are not cool any more. We also take the kids shopping for one anothers presents. Daniel will go with one boy and I with the other. It's fun running and hiding so the other won't see what we have in our hand or the cart. This year Bradley and I were together and Dustin was with Daniel. We took the kids to Rexburg Motor Sports to get gifts ,and boy did they have fun. Most years we make gingerbread houses but we have not accomplished that one. Hopefully we will get that finished before it gets too late.

In all even though the holidays are stressful I wouldn't change them in any way, well actually I would try for more time , more time for relaxing and enjoying the time as it comes rather then stressing and worrying over every little gift. For those of you reading I wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS. May your holidays help you remember how important family really is. I am blessed to have those I do in my life.

Count ur Blessings

It has been awhile since I've really sat down and thought about all the wonderful things and people I have in my life.

Love is the most beautiful blessing I have ever recieved. I have had a tough couple weeks with love and my relationship with Daniel, I won't go into detail on the situation but I do have to say I am thankful for everything he has done and given me. Material things don't matter to me but the love he has given me in the past 10 years matters greatly.

I am thankful for the blessing of being able to love him back unconditionally. I am blessed with the love from my children as well. Their love is a love only another mother could understand. I have the best kids in the world no matter what they do or say in a normal day.

I am blessed to have an extended family as I do. They are there when I need them and always willing to listen or help me get my mind off of the things that hurt so badly. Most the time they don't even know they are helping me because I don't share everything with them but they help in ways so unique. I love my life and the people in it even when times are really tough. I just have to keep reminding myself some times how wonderful it really is. I couldn't ask for more.

Happy Halloween

We had a wonderful Halloween.

It was also my moms birthday so we started our day with her or at least I did while the kids were in school. She is a wonderful woman and I was pleased she wanted us with her on her birthday.

After the kids were out of school she wanted to carve pumpkins with all of her grandkids. It was kinda funny the babies ( well I guess really they aren't the babies any more they are toddlers) they didn't like the idea of putting their hands in the pumpkin and cleaning the goop out. As Taidyn informed us EWWW YUCKY. LOL.

While mom and Bradley and Dustin cleaned the pumpkins we all sat and visited until it was time to get dressed up and go out trick or treating.

Bradley was a dirtbike crasher ,otherwise known as himself.

Dustin was a bloody skeleton, he had a heart that pumped fake blood down the chest cavity, he was overly enthused about the grossness of it.

Taidyn was a cowboy and he was a handsome one at that.

Logyn was G.I. Joe what a cute one he made too.

And the lil sweet angel Shyann she was a ballerina, her mom had a sleeper that had the cute feet in them like a pair of slippers.

Of all the adults my sister Krystal was the only one who dressed up, the rest of us were party poopers lol. She was the midnight fairy , she looked pretty hott if you ask me. But then I did help her dress up so of course I would think that.

We went out and trick or treated until 9:30 the boys were worn out by that time and they had more then enough candy. Not that they eat that much any ways they said they were more out for the fun of it then for the candy. OF COURSE ;)

In all it was a wonderful Halloween and man am I glad it's over.

Beautiful ANGEL

It's about time. We have been waitin for our little angel to get here for 9 months now.

My youngest sister Miranda had her seconde baby finally. She had a little gurl who wieghed 8lbs 6oz and was 20 inches long. Her name is Shyann Mckenzie Harris.

She has a little bit of hair which for the moment is dark and she has BROWN eyes.

We have been waiting for brown eyes for awhile now and she finally has them.:)

We are so proud of her. She is my first niece and 3rd time to be an aunt.

I love all my babies .........

Year End Awards

So I figured I should bring an update to yall about the boys racing over the summer.
This past weekend we had our year end award ceremony. We enjoyed dinner with all of our friends prime rib with many diffrent salads and many many drinks. The dinner wasn't that wonderful but the company and drinks were wonderful.
They had a slide show of all the riders throughout the whole year the photographer did really well with the pictures we got a few more then I actually took.
Then the boys got their awards. Dustin took 2nd place in his class out of 6 riders (he got an awesome trophy with a pullover hoodie with his name on it and place). Bradley took 4th place in his classes out of 15 to 17 riders (he also got awesome trophies with a t-shirt and pullover with his name and place on it). They probably would have tooken higher places if we didn't miss two races because it's all based on points but thats life. We live and learn. But in all the boys had fun and thats really all that matters right?
Then after awards they had give aways and the boys made off pretty well. I forget everything they got but I do remember they were extremely happy with it all. Then after everything was done we sat back and enjoyed drinks with friends talking about what's to come during the winter, while the boys played and ran around with their friends. I'm sure the manager of the hotel wasn't so happy to have them running every where but hell we paid for it so there. LOL.
Any ways now we are finished with this season of racing but we still have the wintercross to maybe try. We will see because it wasn't really that fun last year when we were freezing our asses off.

Your VOICE

I like to write poetry sometimes when I get the chance or more like when it comes to me so I thought I would share a poem I wrote awhile ago. It's one of the better ones I've written. So here goes it.

I thought I heard your voice last night,
I heard you call my name. I told you that I
Love you then you said the same. It was
all so very comforting because it eased
the pain. Although the moment was
so short it was enough to hear
Your claim.

Our main Adventure for the Summer

Now that I've shared the main part of me, I thought I'd share what we did this summer with the kids.

Our boys have always been dirtbike riding fools, thanks to their dad. From the day Bradley and Dustin were born they have adored and admired bikes , or honestly things that go fast in general. So after the boys have been riding since they were 2 we decided they should race this year in a motocross curcuit , well actually Daniel decided against my wishes but thats how things are sometimes. Well the kids raced and did very well all summer. Bradley was on a 50cc pro Senior and Dustin was on a 50cc junior. Bradley raced in the 7-8 class and 50 open class , Dustin raced in the 5-6 class. Bradley was out to win and did so well. He started the season taking second place to James McGuire (he went to nationals in 2006 so he was an awesome rider). As the season progressed Bradley grew too big for his bike so in the end he had to work really hard for his placing. I think he ended the season averaging out in 5th place. Dustin well he was more into just riding rather then racing. Don't get me wrong he did very well but he wasn't carring if he won or not.

He and another lil man (Bronson) rode together they were always taking 2nd or 3rd place together. One would pass the other and back and forth all season. Dustin made us laugh one race when we were in Salmon, he was out on the track and it was his last lap til finish and he came to the top of a downhill jump and stopped. Daniel and I didn't know what was goin on then we noticed he looked to his right then to his left and began to go again. It seemt like he was looking for traffic on a track where there was no worries for traffic for most. It made us laugh because he was just in no hurry to finish when every one else was racing as fast as they could to take the checkered flag. As I said before he was in it to ride not race. Daniel and I asked him what he was doing and he simply replied I don't know I just felt like stopping. In the end I believe Dustin averaged out and took 2nd. He did well.

It was a worl wind of nerves for me the whole season I was always a nervous wreck every other weekend. But I lived through it amazingly enough. I enjoyed it because it was something new and diffrent for us to experience. Now I'm not so sure we will be enduring this next year but we will see what the seasons bring in the future.

My time.

Well I figured it was a thing to do to pass the time I spend alone. So after thinking about it I decided to make a blog of my own.

When You are alone all day long you have much time to think about things and man does it get to you after awhile.

So I thought I'd start with telling you about myself. I was born in Dallas Texas on July 27th. I'm 26 years young (I honestly can't think of myself as old, I'm close enough to 30 already.) I have a wonderful mom who started her life with me when she was 18 she married my dad young and tried to accomplish lifes goals with me to boot. My dad passed away when I was 2 he was crushed under a car while working on it. My mom remarried when I was 7 then we moved to Idaho. At the time I thought they were the worst people in the world. I loved Texas and all the family there too. I couldn't imagine being happy any where else other then there. I visited every summer and spent a small time there as a child. As I grew I swore I would move back no matter what it took.

Then I turn 16 and met the love of my life. We moved out to Roberts (although I hated the town itself) and ended up with a neighbor down the road who to me was a hotty. Daniel and I met the first time because of his little sister and well things began from there. We found out soon enough sneaking out of the house was only trouble but man was it fun trouble, not that I would recommend it to any one. I ended up becoming pregnant at 16 and life took a huge turn from then on. Daniel insisted he was to marry me and take care of us. My parents wouldn't have it. We fought to be together for months and months and finally after moving from place to place being in the system I ended up being able to marry Daniel on April 28th 1999. It was a crazy day but the best crazy day I ever lived through.

We had our first son on September 18th 1999, and lived the life of poor people for years but honestly to us poor was the best way to live,we always tried to find fun things to do and managed to keep each other happy. Now I won't lie Daniel and I have had our crazy, horrible ,tearspilling, moments together, but we have also decided it's best we spend our time together rather then apart. Daniel left me in 2001 for 2 weeks and it was the worst time I've lived through. Then in July of 2001 we found out by aw that we were expecting another lil one. It was a crazy feeling to have one already with us and another on the way.

We had Dustin on March 6th 2002. We decided then it was time to move into our own home. We lived in a single wide trailer house for 2 years and then were extremely lucky to have a deal go in our favor for another home for us. We did a government housing program and built our own home. We have now lived in it for 4 years. In all we still have our moments but we have grown so close in the last few years we could never see ourselves without the other. He is the half to my whole.

In the mornings I enjoy waking up to him to my side and enjoy falling asleep in his arms. He is the best man I've ever met. I thank god for him every day. He does very well for his age. He is a sales assoc. for Arnold machinery selling heavy equipment. We make good money although we have learned money isn't every thing. I couldn't ask for a better life except maybe a vacation every once in awhile. :)
