A friend gone, an angel gained.

Early this morning My dear friend Shannon Royer Passed on and returned home to our father in heaven, She was such a young, beautiful, amazing,smart,big hearted,strong lady,Who would light up a room anytime she walked in. Although I know she is no longer in any pain or is no longer suffering, I can't help but be a little selfish and wish she was here. I will never forget the day we met, from that day forward our friendship just blossomed, She taught me so much. my most precious memories will be our drives to morning workout, I always had so many questions about the church since I am a convert, and she always always was there to answer all my questions, and explain things to me so I would understand. I miss her so much already, I will miss our walks we used to go on, I will miss the many laughs and good times we had, I will miss our monthly trips to olive garden, I will miss going to lunch bunch with her and sitting next to her In relief society, even though I am older than her I always looked up to her. I am going to miss everything about her, she Is such an amazing soul who always remained so strong though out her trials. her strength and faith was amazing. Shannon I love you and miss you dearly. Thank you so much for your friendship and for everything you have done for me.

She's a Junior girl scout...She's a star!!!!

Last night was Kala's investiture/rededication ceremony for girl scouts, she was sworn in as an official junior girl scout... it was such a fun filled party with a Hollywood nights theme. There was Hollywood decorations all over the room with Hollywood music playing it was quite the set-up. First the girls put on a little show for us while we ate dinner, then the girls put on their Hollywood glitz and glamor and walked the red carpet to receive a trophy, it was so funny to see these girls strut there stuff. On the floor there was a walk of fame star for each girl, where they signed it and took a picture... Kala had the best time, and always loves being a part of the girl scouts.... the day before she got to walk in the parade at the Kern county fair, she was very excited to do that especially since her mom helped make the banner.... overall girl scouts is off to a great start this year..... GO GIRL SCOUTS!!! her are some pics of the night....

Yee Haw!! some adult time......

On Saturday our stake for church had an adult activity it was a country round up theme.... My husband and our friend Mike went to the stake center at about 2pm to help with the barbecue. I was hoping that he would come back so we could go together, but he got stuck there helping out with the finishing touches. So Marisa ( mike's wife)and I decided to go together. when we got there the men were still helping. So Marisa and I decided to grab our food and find a seat. They had Tri-tip, salad,bread,beans and brownies.... Yummy ..it was a good meal... and a good show with country singers and dancers. About 10 min before the event ended Kam and Mike were able to join us. After the dinner 5 couples decided to go back to our friends Shannon and paul's house for a game night, we played music scene it and ate some ice cream..... it was the best game night I have ever had... I think we laughed the whole night.... we decided to have women against the men... and of course the women won... but the men wanted to play again to try to win... and they did ..but as I said the first game is what counted... the game had lots of variety of music from cyndi lauper to MILLI VANILLI..... LOL.. Kyle seemed to know every answer and had been to every concert, Mike new every wordless song..... and Kam even new britney spears perfume..... we had such a fun night with alot of forever memories... can't wait to do it again.... thanks Shannon and paul for hosting.. so of course when we got home the house was a mess and the kids were a sleep..... but it was all worth it...... =)

My poor lil bub....

First off I know I haven't blogged in while.... besides being a busy bee mom... my lil Bub( my lil nickname for josiah) has been sick for almost 3 weeks.... it started out a cough with a runny nose ...well the cough just never seem to go away.... so I took him back into the doctor and sure enough he is wheezing ... and that he may have Asthma.. which seems to run in my family... I have it really bad. So i'm so sad to find out that my lil one might have asthma. The Dr. gave him a breathing machine for at home breathing treatments, and butt load of other meds... i feel so bad for him, needless to say he seems to be getting better today his cough is sounding broken up.... and he is getting back to his ol' happy trouble maker self... today I was at my friend Debbie' house while we were working on a project... him and another baby were being awfully quiet... so i go to check on them... and they are chowing down on dog food... MMM yummy.... his breathe was so stinky I pulled out about 4 pieces of dog food.... that's Josiah for ya....... LOL anyways here are a couple shots of me trying to give him his breathing treatment. .he is not to happy about it and trys to put the mask on me instead of him...... =)
