Catching Up

Well, it has been such a long time since I have blogged that I am not sure how to do it anymore. Life is going by so fast that I forget to do some of the things that I love to do. Tiff has been bugging me about getting a post done, she even said she would lock me in the office so I would get it done. I think I could handle that if she would also take care of life outside of the office.

Kamy seems to sense when I sit at the computer because every time that I get started she needs something. Usually a snack or for me to put a puzzle together with her.

Anyway, life is still wonderful for us. We are busy following basketball games for Derek. He plays on J.V. and loves it. He plays great defense but struggles for every point he makes.(I think he is a head case) If you thought I was bad with Tiff and volleyball you should watch and hear Shea at Derek's basketball games. I love it!

Speaking of doing things that I love to do. I did something last weekend that I loved but I don't think I have ever done before. I went to the valley early Saturday morning BY MYSELF and went shopping with my SWEET sister ANN. I did no shopping for my husband or my family. I had some Christmas money that I bought clothes with and then I had some other funds that I bought some cute stuff for my house. I had so much fun! I think the best part was driving alone down there. It was peaceful, no kids talking or fighting or asking if we were almost there. It was foggy and just beautiful. I listened to wonderful music and totally enjoy myself. I think mom's need to do that once in awhile to get rejuvenated. Anyway it was great.

Well everyone is doing so good, Tiff is getting things set up to go to college, Derek is going to be in the play Oklahoma the school is putting on, Jordan is always busy with friends he did go snow boarding a couple of weeks ago and thinks he really likes it now. Aubry is playing basketball and doing so GOOD! She is amazing. Melany has been having some problems with her back but the physical therapist aka Bishop Lynn has been working on her. Kamy is ummmmm a mess but a total blast. She says and does some of the funniest things. And then Shea, he is the glue that keeps us all together. He is so good and kind to me, I don't know what I would do without him. He is my best friend.

Okay so that's the update I will try and do better.

Hi Yvette, this is Courtney (Peterson) from Snowflake. I was so happy to stumble across your blog. I haven't seen your family in so long! I can't believe Tiffany is going to College...I babysat her! Your kids are so cute, I think Melanie was just a baby last time I saw you guys.
Jared and I have lived here in Colorado for a year and a half. We LOVE it. We had Jake 6 months ago. We love him of course, he's such a good boy. Our blog is private, but if you're interested in viewing it, email me and I'll send you an invite. courtneycurt@gmail.com
Good to see your blog. I love you and your family! Love, Courtney

Oh I'm so jealous of the shopping trip! Way to go! Thanks for the kind things you did for me while we were in Snowflake. I appreciate you so much. I was looking at my baby book and there are quite a few cards and birthday cards from you and uncle Shea when you lived in Safford and Mesa. I feel so blessed and fortunate to have such caring and good uncles and aunts. Thanks. I love you all.

Glad to see your back - I missed hearing about your family! Glad to hear everyone is doing well.

Yvette, that is one of my very favorite things to do. I LOVE driving by myself. I can't explain why except I am alone with my thoughts and can appreciate what I see around me. I love it. It's hard to find opportunities to do that, though. I'm also weird and don't mind running for an hour without an ipod or anything, for the same reason. Hope you had fun shopping! (Also one of my favorites) ;) Someday I'll get caught up on my blogging, too. Maybe today while Scott's in the valley and I actually have a computer...

Ok Yvette you look way too young to have a kid in college.

I'm glad you took time to rejuvenate! Every mom needs to do that sometimes.

I am happy I finally found your blog!

Take care!
