SUMMERS SHOOTING STARS

Provo

2009-10-27T13:05:00.002-07:00

Okay while trying to change my layout page I somehow lost everything on my blog but my older post!!!! Stupid huh? Well I haven't been on since I started facebook anyway so I guess I needed a new start! I just finished making Braunson a missionary blog so I decided I would try to get mine going again. I'm not sure if I want to try to catch up on everything or just go from this day on!!!! Anyway I posted a couple of pictures from Provo when we drop off Braunson @ the MTC, but if you want missionary updates you'll have to go to his blog. After we dropped him off we went on a little vacation..... so my next post I think I'll go there if you want to ride along!

I have no more Grandparents!

2009-07-04T00:33:00.004-07:00

Well my Grandma passed away July 2nd early in the morning! I'm sure going to miss her. I have so many great memories of her and my Grandpa! But now they are up there together. I just hope they know I miss them and Love them very much! So Grandma's funeral is Monday @ 10. After that we'll have lunch and visit and head out on our way to Provo. I have to be in Mesa by 5pm to pick up our rental car! Really I have had so many distraction this week that I haven't dwelled to much on my son leaving. But now that it has calmed down a little, it's starting to set in. In fact I haven't really ate or slept to well for the passed week. So if anything comes of this stress it might be that a loss a few pounds! Yippee!!!!

I'M NOT READY!

2009-07-02T00:44:00.003-07:00

Okay what a stressful week! Not only I'm I trying to get my son ready to leave for the MTC but my Grandma is getting ready to pass on to the other side. What already is a very emotionally time is turning into a VERY VERY EMOTIONALLY time. So should I leave, when should I leave, and will I make it back in time???????
The only sure thing I know at this point is I have to have Braunson in Provo July the 8th. We have all said our goodbyes to our Grandma but I hate leaving with her the way she is at this point. OH! what to do!!!!!!!!!!!

I KNOW THERE IS NO EXCUSE!

2009-06-15T22:51:00.005-07:00

WELL I'M JUST GOING TO GET RIGHT INTO IT AND FORGET THE LAST 3 MONTHS. WHEN I LEFT YOU, I HAD THE MISSION POOL GOING. NO ONE PICKED ORLANDO BUT MY BROTHER DOUG DID PICK FLORIDA! ANYWAY FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW BRAUNSON WAS CALLED TO THE ORLANDO FLORIDA MISSION AND WILL REPORT TO THE MTC ON JULY 8TH. WE ARE PLANNING ON DRIVING HIM UP TO PROVO. FROM WHAT I HEARD WE WON'T BE ABLE TO GO IN LIKE WE DID WITH BROD SO I GUESS WE ARE DROPPING HIM OFF AT THE CURB! THEN WE ARE HEADING TO RENO, OREGON, SAN FRAN AND LA DISNEYLAND! BUT DON'T TELL BRAUNSON.

WHILE I'VE BEEN GONE A LOT HAS HAPPEN BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING BESIDES MISSIONARY STUFF IS THAT BRAUNSON GRADUATED! YEPEE!

THIS SAT, THE 20TH BRAUNSON IS GOING THUR THE TEMPLE! THEN NEXT SUNDAY THE 28TH IS HIS "FAREWELL" THEN WE ARE LEAVING JULY 3RD.

SO THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE SUMMERS AND I PROMISE TO BE ON HERE MORE OFTEN.

I'M BACKKKKKKKK!

2009-03-23T12:51:00.005-07:00

WELL HI YA ALL. YEAH ITS BEEN A LONG TIME, BUT HERE I AM! ANYWAY WE SHOULD BE GETTING A MISSION CALL THIS WEEK AND I HAVE STARTED A MISSION POOL! I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE ANYONE WHO CARE TO MAKE A GUESS. IT'S VERY INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE THINK AND THERE ARE A FEW OF THE GUESSES I REFUSE TO SEND HIM BUT I GUESS WE'LL SEE. SO IF YOU HAVE A GUESS LET ME KNOW AND I'LL ADD YOU TO THE POOL AND WE'LL SEE WHO WINS!

IT'S BEEN AWHILE!

2009-02-24T16:15:00.005-07:00

OKAY I KNOW IT HAS BEEN AWHILE, A WHOLE MONTH IN FACT. ANYWAY I CAN MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF EXCUSES BUT I GUESS I'LL JUST SAY I HAVE BEEN LAZY. I DID HAVE A LOT OF COMPUTER PROBLEMS BUT I BROKE DOWN AND GOT ME A NEW LAPTOP AND NOW I REALLY DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR ANY EXCUSES. WELL THIS MONTH OR I SHOULD SAY THIS WEEK IS A BIG BIRTHDAY WEEK FOR ME AND MY KIDS. BRODEE TURNED 24 MONDAY. MAN I CAN'T BELIEVE MY BABY IS 24. TIME DOES FLY. THIS THURSDAY THE 26TH TARYN WELL BE TURNING 22. SHE'S STILL A BABY. THEN FRIDAY THE 27TH MY BABY BOY WELL BE TURNING 19. THIS IS KIND OF A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY BECAUSE WE WELL BE CELEBRATING NOT ONLY HIS 19TH BIRTHDAY BUT ALSO HIS 20TH AND 21ST. SINCE HE'LL BE GONE ON HIS MISSION WE WILL BE CELEBRATING FOR 3 BIRTHDAYS. PARTY! PARTY! PARTY!

OLD MISSIONARY MOM!

2009-01-08T11:12:00.008-07:00

AS I WAS READING THE OTHER BLOGS I USUALLY READ, I REALIZED I'M VERY OLD. THIS NEW YEAR MOST OF YOU WERE SENDING YOUR BABIES TO THERE FIRST SUNBEAMS CLASS AND HERE I'M FILLING OUT PAPER WORK FOR MY SON (MY BABY SON BY THE WAY) TO GO ON A MISSION! AND MY BABY IS A BEEHIVE! WOW HOW TIME FLYS! I REMEMBER SENDING BROD TO SUNBEAMS AND CRYING, THEN DOING THE SAME WITH BRAUNSON AND CALLEIGH. ENJOY THEM WHILE THEY ARE YOUNG BECAUSE BELIEVE ME IT GOES BY FAST. BUT YES WE ARE DOING THE MISSION PAPERS! I HAVE SUCH MIXED EMOTIONS ON THIS AS I DID WITH BRODEE. I KNOW WITH ALL MY HEART IT THE BEST THING FOR THEM BUT STILL IT'S SO HARD TO GIVE THEM UP FOR TWO YEARS. BEFORE WE STARTED, I SET DOWN WITH BRAUNSON AND GAVE HIM THE OLE ARE YOUR SURE YOU WANT TO GO TALK. OF COURSE HE SAID YES HE WANTED TO GO AND HE WAS READY TO GO TODAY. WELL IF ALL GOES WELL WE ARE HOPING HE GETS HIS CALL AROUND SPRING BREAK AND IS READY TO LEAVE THE FIRST OF JUNE. WE HAVE SO MUCH TO DO BEFORE THEN BUT I'M SURE IT'LL GET DONE. I'M JUST GOING TO ENJOY MY BABY BOY BEFORE I SEND HIM OFF TO WHO KNOWS WHERE!

THE NEW YEAR!

2009-01-01T14:04:00.008-07:00

WELL I'M GLAD THIS YEAR IS OVER AND WE ARE ON TO A NEW YEAR! AS YOU CAN TELL I HAVEN'T BEEN ON HERE FOR A WHILE BUT I'M BACK! OKAY I'M READY FOR SUMMER ALREADY BUT I GOT TO GET MY SUMMER BODY READY FIRST. SO I'M GOING TO BE SHAKIN' MY GROOVE TO SHAKE A FEW POUNDS, WELL "A LOT" OF POUNDS! BUT AS EVERY YEAR THAT'S ONE OF MY NEW YEARS GOALS.

WELL I HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS! IT WAS GOOD TO BE AROUND MY KIDS AND US ENJOYING EACH OTHER, WELL MOST OF THE TIME. I GOT THE "BEST" EVER PRESENT. TARYN BUT A LOT OF HARD WORK INTO THE MOST PRECIOUS CALENDAR OF BENTLEY. NOW I GET TO ENJOY HER EVERYDAY OF THE YEAR. THIS IS THE PICTURE FOR THE MONTH OF JAN. ISN'T SHE JUST SO CUTE! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BEING A GRAMEE!

WELL I PROMISE TO BE BETTER WITH MY BLOG AND UPDATE OFTEN. THAT'S ANOTHER GOAL. WONDER HOW MANY GOALS I'LL STILL HAVE AT THE END OF THE MONTH! LOL! ANYWAY HOPE EVERYONE HAD AS GOOD OF A CHRISTMAS AS I DID AND HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT YEAR!

THANKSGIVING

2008-11-29T19:11:00.007-07:00

WELL I'M BACK! I KNOW IT'S BEEN A WHILE BUT IT HAS TAKING ME A WHILE TO GET OVER MY WEEKEND FROM HELL. I'M STILL NOT OVER IT, BUT DEALING BETTER WITH IT. MY BACK IS FEELING A LITTLE BETTER TOO. I DID TAKE THE ADVICE I WAS GIVEN AND WENT AND SEEN A CHIROPRACTOR. NOT SURE IF IT HELPED BUT IT FEELS A LITTLE BETTER. SO I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR ADVICE AND YOUR SUPPORT YOU HAVE GIVING ME. IT FEEL SO GOOD KNOWING I HAVE SOME FRIENDS OUT THERE AND THAT I AM THANKFUL FOR. OVER ALL WE HAD A GOOD THANKSGIVING. THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD HAVE MADE IT BETTER WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE MY GRAND DAUGHTER AND HER PARENTS. I SURE MISSED THEM BUT I GUESS I HAVE TO WAIT MY TURN TO SEE THEM. HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THEM AROUND FOR CHRISTMAS. ANYWAY GRAMEE MISSED YOU BENT!

WEEKEND FROM HELL!

2008-11-16T23:41:00.006-07:00

WELL WHERE TO BEGIN! LET ME BEGIN WITH HOW IT FEELS BEING A MOTHER OF A BOY WHO HAS HAD A GOAL EVERY SINCE HE WAS LITTLE. TO BE A GREAT FOOTBALL PLAYER. AT FIRST HE WAS GOING TO PLAY FOR THE DALLAS COWBOYS AND THEN THE OLDER HE GOT HE KNEW THAT WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN SO HE CHANGED HIS GOAL A LITTLE TO PLAY FOR THE PIMA ROUGHRIDER AND WIN A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. WELL AFTER A LOT OF HARD WORK,PAIN, TEARS, AND FRUSTRATION THIS YEAR HE HAS MADE IT TO HIS DREAM GAME. NOW THIS IS WHERE IT'S SO HARD TO BE A MOTHER. AS I SET IN THOSE STANDS WATCHING MY SON DREAMS FADE AND WATCHING HIM TRYING SO HARD BUT YET STRUGGLING TO LEAD HIS TEAM TO VICTORY, WAS ALMOST UNBEARABLE.MY SON DIDN'T HAVE HIS DREAM GAME TO WIN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP INSTEAD HE HAD THE WORST GAME OF HIS LIFE WHICH ALSO HAPPEN TO BE HIS LAST GAME. I WATCHED UP IN THOSE STANDS AS HE WAS STRUGGLING AND BECOMING EMOTIONAL AND ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS GO COMFORT HIM BUT YET I COULDN'T. I COULD SEE HIM CRYING AT TIMES, THROWING HIS HELMET IN FRUSTRATION AND AT ONE POINT NEARLY COLLAPSING FROM THE HELPLESSNESS HE WAS FEELING AT THAT MOMENT BUT ALL I COULD DO WAS WATCH. LET ME TELL YOU IT ABOUT KILLED ME. I HOPE NONE OF YOU EVER HAVE TO GO THUR THAT. THEN AFTERWARD TO HEAR THIS BOY BEING MAN ENOUGH TO PUT ALL THE BLAME FOR THE LOSS ON HIS OWN SHOULDERS, LET ME TELL YOU WAS PURE HELL. NO MATTER WHAT EVERYONE AND ME TOLD HIM HE WILL ALWAYS CARRY THE BLAME FOR THE LOSS OF THAT GAME. SO THE LITTLE BOY WHO ONCE HAD A DREAM TO BE THE BEST QB @ PIMA HIGH HAS ENDED UP BEING JUST ONE OF HIS MOM'S PRIDE AND JOYS. YES I HAVE BEEN EMOTIONAL AND CRYING ALL WEEKEND AND ESPECIALLY EVERY TIME I LOOK AT THIS PICTURE WHICH IS MY NEW SCREEN SAVER OR WHEN I WASHED HIS UNIFORM FOR THE LAST TIME. BUT I'M SURE WITH TIME THE SAD MEMORIES OF THIS WEEKEND WILL BE REPLACED WITH GOOD MEMORIES. UNTIL THEN HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH SON! I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND YOUR MY NUMBER ONE QB.

LET'S TAKE STATE!

2008-11-10T12:18:00.004-07:00

WELL ONE MORE GAME BEFORE WE CAN OFFICIALLY BE CALLED STATE CHAMPS! THE BOYS DID REALLY GOOD SAT IN THEIR WIN OVER JOSEPH CITY. BRAUNSON KIND OF HAD AN OFF NIGHT BUT STILL ENDED UP PASSING FOR 6 TOUCHDOWNS AND 367 YARDS. HE WASN'T HAPPY WITH HIS ACCURACY AND HIS PLACEMENT. BUT I THOUGHT HE DID GOOD. HE DID GET BEAT UP AND HAS AN ACHING NECK AND SHOULDER, BUT HE'LL BE READY FOR THE MOGOLLON WHATEVER THEY ARE! I'M SO EXCITED FOR THEM AND I'M ALREADY A NERVOUS MOM! HOPE I MAKE IT THUR THIS WEEK. THE GOOD THING IS I'M ON MAJOR PAIN PILL AND THEY KEEP ME PRETTY WELL MELLOW, THAT WELL HELP WITH MY NERVOUSNESS. I HAVE HAD A PAIN IN MY BUTT FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS. NO IT'S NOT BRAUNSON. I WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND SHE THOUGHT I HAD A KIDNEY STONE AND SENT ME HOME WITH PAIN PILLS. THAT WAS A WEEK AGO AND I'M STILL IN PAIN. THE PAIN IS IN MY LOWER BACK AND UPPER BUTT CHEEK ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I THINK IT'S A PINCH NERVE OR SOMETHING BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF PAIN BEFORE AND IT'S KICKING MY BUTT. AFTER TWO WEEKS I'M TIRED OF IT AND NOT SURE WHAT I'M GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. THEY WANT ME TO GET A CT SCAN BUT THEY SAID IF IT'S MUSCLE IT WON'T SHOW UP SO THEY MORE LESS MADE ME THINK IT WAS A WASTE OF MY TIME AND MONEY. OH WELL AS LONG AS I HAVE PILLS I GUESS I'LL LIVE!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

2008-11-01T19:12:00.006-07:00

OKAY ONE GAME DOWN AND TWO TO GO FOR "08 STATE CHAMPS"! GOOD JOB BOYS! ANYWAY IT WAS A GOOD HALLOWEEN FOR OUR FAMILY. WE EVEN DRESSED UP, HOW ABOUT YOU ALL? AL DRESSED AS AN ALL AROUND GOOD GUY, I WAS A BITCH/WITCH, BRODEE WAS A DADDY, TARYN WAS A MOMMY, BRAUNSON WAS A STUD ROUGH RIDER FOOTBALL PLAYER, CALLEIGH WAS A VAMPIRE AND BENT WAS A GREEN M&M. IT WAS A FUN NIGHT BUT THE BEST PART WAS THE 58-7 WIN OVER WILLIAMS.

GETTING EVERYONE CAUGHT UP!

2008-10-27T15:03:00.008-07:00

OKAY A FEW THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE THE LAST TIME WE TALKED. FIRST OF ALL, AL HAS GOTTEN ANOTHER NEW JOB! YES ALREADY! AS OF TODAY OCT. 27TH HE'S WORKING FOR SEVERN TRENT @ THE SAFFORD WASTEWATER PLANT. IT'S BETTER PAY AND HOURS, PLUS FMI IS IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING CUTS AND AL WOULD HAVE BEEN FIRST IN LINE. SO AS AL SAYS THE LORD WAS WATCHING OVER US! WELL I GUESS THAT'S THE ONLY CHANGE.
WELL IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN! NO NOT HALLOWEEN, "STATE FOOTBALL"!
IT'S KIND OF SAD THIS YEAR CUZ IT WILL BE THE LAST YEAR I HAVE A SON PLAYING. THE BOYS HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD AND I HOPE THEY CAN CONTINUE THEIR WINNING WAYS AND TAKE STATE! GOOD LUCK RIDERS!
THE OTHER DAY I HAD BENTLEY IN MY TRUCK AND WE WERE HEADING UP TO MY MOMS AND I HAD ON SOME OF MY "NAUGHTY RAP" AND OUT OF THE BLUE BENT STARTED DANCING. IT WAS SO CUTE! SHE WAS REALLY SHAKING IT. GRAMEE IS ALREADY CORRUPTING HER!

WEEKEND AT CEDAR SPRINGS!

2008-10-12T22:03:00.008-07:00

AFTER A VERY STRESSFUL WEEK, WE NEEDED SOME R&R! INSTEAD OF DOING THE FAIR THING WE TAKE OUR KIDS CAMPING. SO FRIDAY MORNING WE HEADED OUT TO CEDAR SPRINGS FOR THE WEEKEND. IT WAS NICE TO GET AWAY FROM OUR HECTIC LIFE'S FOR AWHILE TO JUST RELAX!!!!!!! EVEN THOUGH IT WAS RAINY SATURDAY AND KIND OF COLD THAT NIGHT IT STILL WAS FUN. THE GUYS WENT QUAIL HUNTING AND THE KIDS RODE QUADS! I MOSTLY READ AND COOKED. ALL MY FAMILY WENT BUT MY SISTERS. WE DID HAVE KANNON, MISSY'S BABY CUZ HER AND MIKE RAN OFF WITH THE GIRLS TO DISNEYLAND. THE FIRST NIGHT KANNON SLEPT WITH ME. MAN I FORGOT HOW IT WAS SLEEPING WITH SMALL KIDS. LETS JUST SAY WE HAD A VERY INTERESTING NIGHT. EVERY TIME I WOULD MOVE HE WOULD MOVE AND I MOSTLY HAD TWO LITTLE FEET IN MY BACK ALL NIGHT. A FEW TIMES HE FUSSED A LITTLE BUT AFTER I SNUGGLED WITH HIM, HE WENT RIGHT BACK TO SLEEP. HE'S SUCH A SWEET LITTLE BOY AND WE REALLY ENJOYED HIM ALL WEEKEND. BRODEE, TARYN AND BENTLEY CAME OUT FOR THE DAY SATURDAY. WHILE THEY ALL RAN OFF AND RODE QUADS ME AND BENT TOOK A NAP. AFTER THE NIGHT WITH KANNON GRAMEE SURE NEEDED A NAP AND SO DID KANNON! WE CAME HOME SUNDAY AFTERNOON. IT WAS A FUN TRIP! CHECK THE PICTURES OUT BELOW.

IT'S BEEN AWHILE!

2008-10-07T00:38:00.007-07:00

OKAY IT'S BEEN AWHILE BUT I TOO, LIKE MY SISTER MISSY HAVE JUST FINISHED BREAKING DAWN. I DON'T SEE WHAT ALL THE HIPE WAS! DON'T GET ME WRONG THEY WERE GOOD BUT I HAVE READ BETTER. ANYWAY SINCE CAL GOT ME TO READ THE VAMPIRE BOOKS, MY SONS WERE LIKE WHY DIDN'T YOU READ THE BOOKS WE WANTED YOU TO READ. SO FOR BRODEE I'M READING THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS ( THAT WHY I HAVE THE WITCH BACKGROUND), WHICH I'M ON BOOK THREE. I THOUGHT WHAT A BETTER MONTH THAN OCT. TO START THEM. IT WAS A GOOD THING THEY MADE ME WATCH THE MOVIES CUZ I CAN RELATE TO THEM BETTER. THEN AFTER THAT I HAVE TO READ THE ARAGON BOOKS FOR BRAUNSON. I LOVE READING AND I ALWAYS HAVE A BOOK GOING BUT MAN I SURE MISS MY ROMANTIC MYSTERIES! ANYWAY I ALSO WANTED TO WARN THOSE THAT CLICK ON MY "NAUGHTY LIST". THAT'S WHY I PUT THE SONG IN A DIFFERENT PLACE SO THEY JUST DON'T POP UP ON YOU. SO WHEN YOU LISTEN, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. FOR THOSE WHO KNOW ME KNOW I DO HAVE A WILD SIDE TO ME. IN FACT I WANTED TO GET BENTLEY A SHIRT THAT SAID " MY GRANDMA HAS COOLER TATTOOS THAN YOUR GRANDMA" BUT I THOUGHT TARYN WOULDN'T GO FOR IT.

LAS VEGAS BABY

2008-09-25T12:12:00.006-07:00

WELL WE MADE IT BACK! YOU KNOW THAT SAYING "WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS" WELL LETS JUST SAY MOST OF AL'S MONEY STAY THERE! WE HAD FUN AND THAT'S WHAT COUNTS. AL GAMBLED AND I TOOK US SITE SEEING TO STAY AWAY FROM THE CASINOS FOR A WHILE, AND YES I MADE AL WALK THE STRIP. THAT WORE BOTH OF US OUT. WE DID THAT THE LAST FULL DAY THERE. I EVEN GOT AL TO TAKE ME TO A SHOW. WE WENT TO THE "AMERICAN SUPERSTARS". IT WAS REALLY GOOD AND I THINK EVEN HE ENJOYED IT. IT WAS GOOD TO GET AWAY. EVEN THOUGH THE KIDS HAD DRAMA AT HOME. THEY JUST FALL APART WITH OUT US. ANYWAY IT'S GOOD FOR THEM TO WORK THINGS OUT FOR THEMSELVES. EVEN THOUGH IT DIDN'T GET WORKED OUT TILL MOMMA GOT HOME AND LAID THE LAW DOWN. BUT OVER ALL IT WAS A GOOD TRIP. NOW LETS SEE IF WE HAVE ANOTHER "25" IN US!
