Blog neglector!!!

Yes I know I haven't been blogging lately.. among other things ... So I thought I would take a break from studying and blog a little... let's see what have we been upto?? well as far as the kids ... Ty just finished his last chess tournament for the school year and he got 2 out of 3 games... he also just had his 4th article come out in the school newspaper.. and he is currently playing Basketball for our church league... last night was their first game, they won 44 to 31 and I believe he scored 28 points... so you can imagine how proud we were... next is Kala she recently was in a school play and did really well.. it was a fun little play and she just loves it...she is also playing basketball for school... and is quite aggressive on the court... she is in the middle of selling girl scout cookies in hope to raise money for her big bridging ceremony in May across the golden gate bridge in San Fran... she recently made honer roll too... Jayden has continued to enjoy scouting... and is practicing basketball and football for next year when he will be able to try out at school... Josiah has been growing so much... he can say his abc's upto about V and is learning all his nursery songs... he loves church and ask to go everyday... he loves to be picked to say prayer at FHE and dinnertime.. we have been having full blown conversations lately.. it is so neat to be able to just talk with him.. he loves his friends and wants to play everyday...as for the parents...Well I have been enjoying school.. except I have reconfirmed that I dislike history.. it just doesn't stick to my brain.. like other things.. but I am not giving up... I have found away to fit in school to my normal daily routine.. and I am enjoying it so far.... Kam has been busy with work and classes for his job... that he has been taking on the weekends... he also has been busy with his calling at church as 3rd counselor in the elders quarom, he is enjoying his calling and I am proud of his great service... and grateful for the many blessing we receive... so that is our life for the time being.. hope I didn't ramble to much.. and I will try to stay up with the blog...

First day of school

O.k. so the first day of school... was harder than I thought... and is definitely a learning process... for example I need to learn the parking tricks.. because even though I left at 5:15 for a 6pm class I was still late for class =/ oops!! then I had to walk hecka far... which is a good thing so I can exercise more than just my mind..so feeling like an idiot at the moment I walked into class late.. and had all eyes on me.. not so good... I got a seat in the front row which according to the teacher that is the best... so we will see... well I have to learn about a million medical terms... so I need to make about a million flash cards..LOL... so far so good though... I just need to learn how to juggle motherhood and studenthood... so all advice is welcome.... it was so sad when I walked out the door to go to class Josiah ( 2 year old) was just screaming MOMMY!! it broke my lil heart... and then the next day he held on to me all day... so hopefully he will get used to it too... o.k that's all for now...stay tuned for more tales from a 33 year old mother of 4 college student.. who doesn't know where to park.. =)

everything happens for a reason

Those were the words of my husband this past Saturday! lat week my husband was asked to drive the sister of someone in our ward to the Los Angeles Airport, and without any hesitation he said "yes" he got his friend Tyler to accompany him for the ride. So he left the house at 4:45am to pick the people up. I was glad Tyler went with him because I was worried Kam would be to tired to drive home. Well I guess after they checked them in to the airlines, they decided to get something to eat at Tommy burger, and Tyler wanted to go to a certain one. so off they went. well on there way back on the freeway or something like that, they were behind a car that veered off the road, went down and slammed into a tree. automatically without thinking Kam and Tyler went to the scene to help them out, as Kam was telling me the story I couldn't believe it... he said he saw a car seat and a lil boy.. and got them out first, then he assisted the driver a young woman who was hurt pretty bad, Tyler literally gave the back off his shirt so that Kam could apply pressure to her wound. Tyler called 911. Kam talked to the woman til the medics could get to her... it was so amazing to hear Kam talk he said he kept talking to the lady to keep her from falling asleep.. and that he felt heavenly father was directing him on what to say and do to help this woman. Kam found a cell phone of hers to notify the family but it was dead, and it just so happens that That Tyler brought his cell phone charger " that was a perfect match" how amazing is that, well the men stayed at the scene til they were taken away.. ... I know my husband doesn't like attention and will probably be mad at me for writing this, but I am pretty proud of him and his friend for the decision they made to stop and help, and for the promptings of heavenly father to help these men. great Job Kam and Tyler.. you will be truly blessed.

Blog worthy?? I think so......

So this morning.. I was asked to peel some carrots for our annual ward Christmas party for church... and with out any hesitation I said "ya".. so I got the carrots out... and began the peeling process... and I thought to myself how I am I even going to peel all 14 bags of carrots....??? I mean have peeled carrots before.. but 14 bags... NEVER... so I thought o.k. just dive in an do it... I thought about calling a neighbor or 2 to give me a hand... but I thought "nah" I can do it... so I started to peel away... along the ways I just kept counting 5 bags down 9 to go.. LOL... well 14 bags later, a broken nail.. and a few peeled fingers... VWALA!!! we have carrots.... =)
