Ending on a positive note

So I love summer I love being outdoors I love getting more vitamin D then I know what to do with, I love planting flowers. I love running and hiking and long summer nights.

 So over Spring Break when I took the kids to SLC Lee bought me a bike.  The tires have had some issues so today was the first day I rode it.  Jake and I rode through an neighborhood where they are building some new homes.  One was still just framed so I asked Jake if he wanted to walk through.  He was shocked we could and while we were walking through I was pointing out where the kitchen and bedrooms would be and he turned gave me a hug and said this was the best mother/son one on one time ever.  It was nice after the frustrating day to get out and do something healthy.  I took Victoria and her cousin to the mall Victoria was going to get a hair cut but her cousin said she didn't want to wait so we went shopping and the girls found matching dresses and insisted we buy them.  So we did.  And they were cute.  I love that Victoria has such an amazing relationship with her cousin.  Jake often gets left out because all boy cousins his age live far away. 

I am leaving Monday with the kids and my mom and will be back Thursday.  It is a trip I have been meaning to do since the kids got out for summer and now it is all coming together (I think).  Still would like to get out of town for a few days when Lee is gone but we will see as it gets closer and I have my schedule.

We went to the pool yesterday and library today.  And maybe my summer schedule isn't going exactly as planned but we getting out and trying new things.  There are a few adventures we have left to go do..  Tomorrow I think we may go try a new pool after my niece leaves.  Andrew was walking around the house today wearing his life jacket saying he wanted to go "wimming".  Wish we had a pool closer (like in the backyard) or one we didn't have to pay for.

Random Thoughts

I sometimes wonder where to draw the line in this whole blogging thing.  I could make us look like the "perfect" family or I could deal with all of our disappointment and make everybody think that we quite possible have the worse life ever.  Or maybe there is a middle ground somewhere that I have yet to find in this blog.  Today was a rough day.  Don't get me wrong I am so excited that everybody around me is having babies.  But for some reason today I was caught up in the losses all over again.  I am wondering when it stops.  Maybe it never does.  Maybe it will be a life time of wondering what if I would have gone full term.  Several people have asked when (or if) we are going to have another baby.  I am not sure.  Sometimes that answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But one thing is for certain it isn't right now.  Really I don't need to have a ton of kids to fill some void.  I love my two kids and if that is all ...

It has been a week

Here is how the week went Monday: OUr 25th anniversary. I was sick. We went and tried a Cuban restrant not as good as the food we had in Miami but it was good. We love trying new local places. It ended in tears. I won't go into all the details but I am relaizing that this is not the marriage I want. I am open about what I need and we will go from there. Luke started wrestling. Tuesday: End of the year banquent for Luke and Andrew. Luke recevied the "Most Improved" Awared. Here is the thing about that. His coach talked about how during summer practice he wouldn't even run 100 yeards. He would just stop. At some point after the first meet it clicked and he just ran and did what he needed to do. He went up adn accepted the award with such confidence. Wednesday: Both boys had activities. Andrew had stayed home from school due to not felling wel. My guess is he just needed a rest. He was feeling up for going and making pizzas at the Bishop's hous...

Heavy Week

This week has been so heavy. I had a client pass away and I never got the closure I needed/wanted. Client was not my typical client. He was different and sassy and I looked forward to seeing him every week. Then we went to a presentation. When I tried to explain how dishonest the presenter was I felt ignored. We are pretty anti MLM anyway but not wanting to know is weird to me. There are big changes coming and I am not ready for all the changes. Might be good might be a diaster. Time will tell. Mom's surgery is scheduled in about four weeks. I feel as though she moved it for us. Which is for the best for everybody but still taking on guilt that is not mine to own. Listening to the news about the LDS church shooting/fire in Michigan has been so triggering. I hate that I feel all the all the feeings. How I can envision the people there and the screaming kids and .....on and on. I wonder what changes will come to the church now that prophet died. I hope ther...
