Koyle Ray.....

So Finally after 9 months we got our little man back.... What an amazing feeling it was to lay eyes on him again.. We got there to met his mother & koy had went inside to go potty so I got Grace out of the car & as soon as they seen eachother they just took off running to eachother & hugged so tight. For them being so young it was such a tear jerker to see how much they care about eachother.. Then Koy ran to his Daddy & I, it was such a amazing feeling.. Koy kept saying the whole way home I missed you Daddy.. I missed you Sister.. I missed you Mommy.. Aughh such a blessing that little man is.. All the family met us at Kravers so they can see him & we made sure that little Ryan Koys cous didnt know Koy would be there.. So wehn Ryan walked in Koy ran up to him and it took Ry a few minutes to realize it was Koy  then he went crazy.. sad thing was that Grandma Tina was in St George so she had to wait until Sat to see him but when that time came around it was another Tear-Jerker.. koy os her everything. even tho she has been an amazing Grandma to Grace there is nothing that is stronger then what her and Koy have.. So the night we got him back we went home and played & the kiddos took a Tubby together then we pulled our mattress & our spare bedroom mattress out into our living room and made a huge bed so we could all sleep together.. It was such an amazing feeling to Finally have our WHOLE family back together.. We had to take Koy back yesterday to Logan to his Moms for a BBQ that was pretty hard but luckly I get to go pick him up tmrw in Ogden again so its just a little tiny break from him compared to what we have been threw the past 9 months...... We are getting family pictures done this weekend since we will have both the kids.. I cant wait to finally have a new Pic of all of us together.. So here is some pics of all of us together and of Our Handsome Little Stud!!!!!

WELCOME HOME KOYLE RAY AND OOOO HOW WE MISSED YOU!!! WE LOVE YOU SWEETHEART!!!! MAUHHHH

LOVE: DADDY, MOMMY LINZI & SISITER...

Someone that means the WORLD to me..

So my Mother & I are really close and & always have been. When I went to all my school dances, my 1st kiss, my 1st true love, when my baby girl was born and for every other situation that a amazing memory has came from.. When I got divrorced life was really, really tough with my family.. So it took about 10 months just for my family to come around & accept Garrett.  Its been quite the long crazy & wine-deeeee Road.. My Mom was the quickest to adapt to him My sis & Brother in-law had a hard time.. All was going very very well up until about 1 month ago.. We just got a new house & then DRAMA came along.. someTHING happened that had turned mine aswell as my mothers opinion about life in general upside down.. I tell my mother everything including what Garrett had done.. I really don't ever know if My Mamma will forgive him. I don'y know if she has ever had to hold me in her arms and let me SOB the way I did when I was a child. My pain that I had went threw was going threw her aswell.. Life has been a little strange not having Garr & Mom get along to great.. I guess because I have never had a man do something so heart wrenching to me.. I never had to worry about another GIRL coming in between MY MAN & I.. but it happened and life has gone on SO... My mother Emailed this to me Yesterday & it really touched me.. Thought I would share it with all who reads my blog!!!

A mother tries to provide her daughter with insight

into the important things in life

in order to make her life

as happy and fulfilling as possible.

A mother tries to teach her daughter

to be good, always helpful to other people

to be fair, always treating others equally

to have a positive attitude at all times

to always make things right when they are wrong

to know herself well

to know what her talents are

to set goals for herself

to not be afraid of working too hard to reach her goals.

A mother tries to teach her daughter

to have many interests to pursue

to laugh and have fun every day

to appreciate the beauty of nature

to enter into friendships with good people

to honor their friendships and always be a good friend

and to particularly respect and love our elder members

to use her intelligence all times

to listen to her emotions

to adhere to her values

A mother tries to teach her daughter

to not be afraid to stick to her beliefs

to not follow the majority when the majority is wrong

to carefully plan a life for herself

to vigorously follow her chosen path

to enter into a relationship with someone worthy of herself

to love this person unconditionally with her body and mind

to share all that she has learned in her life with this person

If I have provided you with an insight

into most of these things

then I have succeeded as a mother

in what I hoped to accomplish in raising you

if many of these slipped by

while we were all so busy

I have a feeling you know them anyway

One thing I am sure of though,

I have taught you to be proud of the fact

that you are a woman equal to all men and

that I have loved you every second of your life

I have supported you at all times

as a mother, as a person, and as a friend

I will always continue to Cherish and love

everything about you

my beautiful daughter.

I am SO blessed to have such an amazing MOTHER... I love ya Ma....

My Little Miss....

 Well I am pretty well behind on this little update but thats OK.. So Gracie Mae was in the Little Miss Tooele County.. She was so excited to  be on stage and walk like a star is what she kept telling us. So we got her a Beautiful pink very sparkley dress, we made her a bow to match perfectly & then she got silver sparkley shoes.. Then a new pink bracelet and some diamond earings!! What a spoiled little bugger.. But she looked so sweet & adorable.. She was the very 1st girl to go on stage so we were a little nervous but she did GREAT.. They 1st had to just walk on stage & say there name & blow a kiss or wave.. After everyone was introducd they then had to do a little walk on the stage then answer a question SO. Grace's question was What is your favorite show to watch Answer was Dora, Why?? Answer because I love her so very much.. It was so adorable... She did so great & she felt like a Princess is what she said.. She ended up taking 3rd Attendant which was AWSOME.. we didnt care if she placed at all, as long as she was havin fun!! Her Bestie Alabama took 4th attendent So they had fun together!!!!

......................................................................................

MUAHHHHHH

It's been a Journey..

 I have not been on forever... Geezz I am a slacker.  Been busy with School. Work. Grace. Garrett. Koyle coming home soon.. Kujo (Our new puppy).. Just a little of everything..  So first thing to talk about is Koyle Ray.. We finally got to talk to him  & he is coming home this week. He called his Daddy on his 4th Birthday & it just tore Garr into pieces, he jus t lost it when he heard his voice. Happy & Sad tears. He sounds so BIG.. We did get to see a picture of him & he looks little and petite as usual!!! We are suppose to get him back on Friday so we are X'ing Our fingers that something don't change that... Garretts cousin is getting married saturday so we are hoping to surprise the family when we bring Koy.. Plus Grace will be with us this weekend aswell so it can not get any better than that... Next subject.. Grace is starting school tommorrow. Whooo brings a tear to my eys. I cant believe she is already starting Pre-School.. Seems like just yesterday this Mama was changin her little tush.. But after all she is so excited to start & make new friends. Also her Teacher was my 3rd grade teacher & so thats very special to me aswell... So we she got to pickout a backpack even though she really did not need one she had to have one.. Than we just HAD to get her some new school clothes.. Aughhh I just love shopping for clothes for the little ones!!!! Next... we have been doing so much as a fqamily  & with Garretts family. It is great. a few weeks ago Garr & I went up to Park City to the Alpine Slide.. Bahaha so much fun. I used to go all the time when I was young but have not been for years so it was a new little adventure. I zummed right past Garr & it was hiliarious.. he said his sled was not working right but I think someone was a WEE bit scared.. lol. It was great, then after that we drove up to Mid-Way to the Homestaed a place I also used to go to when I was younger.. It is so beautiful up there!!  we had such a great day. Then the weekend after that we had Grace so we decided to go on a little Getaway with her for a few hours to a very special place.. She had so much fun so when the little man is back home with us we are going again & then I'll post the pictures & splurge about the "special" place!!!!  This past weekend was alos amazing. Of course I work every weekend until 6 but that don't stop us from having some fun & exploring. So when I got off Saturday night we went down to Grandma & Grandpa's to go on a four wheeling ride.. It was so much fun. It was Garr & I, Gram & Gramp, Susie, Mama Tine & Papa Jim.. Ha it was a blast. We went up Bates canyon and watched the sunset and explored! Sus was the leader of the pack and it was quit an adventure. We have gone a few times with Gram & Gramp but never with all of them so it is something we will be doing more often.. Sunday we all met up at MCeeDess for some Breakfast then went to The Provo Falls then to Mirror Lake.. All of Garretts family came including Aunt Kathys fam.. They are such a hoot. Kara rode with us & its was such a fun ride. On the way we jammed out to all sorts of music including Mrs Miley Cyrus.. and Garr he put his hands in the Air, was noddin his head like YEAH, and movin his hips like Yeah.. LOL Kar was histerical. I dont think she really knew that her cous knew the whole song. Its was funny as heck.. On the way down we played all sorts of games in the car.. Good times thats forsure... Later that night we went to Scott & Dianes we had some yummy pizza, got in the hottub & roasted some bomb-diggity marshmellows.. Then finally it was home to hit the sheets so I could get up for another day at LHF.. So thats how Our story goes these days.. Family is such a huge part of us & I am so glad I was welcomed 19 months ago with opened arms. I adore them as much as they do Grace & I... They are so amazing.... Love them ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
