Today is little Haylee Bugs 10th b-day!!!

She is so much fun to have around, and is such a big help to everyone. She is always helping Caden with his homework because she loves school so much and wants him to love it as much as she does.

I asked Haylee some of her favorites:

Littlest Pet Shops
Her family
Friends(Winter, Rylee, MeKenna, Bryer, Abigail, Sarah)
Taylor Swift
Carrie Underwood
riding her bike
playing outside
homework!!!

We love you so much Haylee Karin
We hope your day is special!

Happy First Day of Spring!

I looked out the window and what did I see......

Happy Spring everyone! It's so nice outside today, I just had to wish everyone a great weekend! We are doing yard clean up and it feels great! What is it about spring that just makes you think 'renewal"? Love it!

LUCKY

1.2.3.4

a bunch of you have asked me what our new callings are in our new ward. well, brian is over the 11 year old scouts (he has 3). and me...i am the chorister in the relief society(insert belly laugh here). for those of you that know me quite well know that i can not walk and chew gum at the same time, so just imagine me trying to lead! i have told the sisters on numerous occasions that i am just up there for comic relief! i am also involved with prepardness/humanitarian/food storage. talk about a kick in the bum to get my stuff together!







so the other day i got a phone call. it went like this.



bro. h.: hi sister ware, i was wondering if you and brian would give the prayers in sac. meeting this sunday in the 17th ward?



me: um, we've moved



bro. h.: really! i had no idea! where did you move to?



me: a.... down by the jr. high



bro. h.: ok i'll find someone else



pretty normal conversation right? well, this is the 4th time he has called us to do prayers in sac. meeting!!!! and we moved in january!!









thumbs up!

happy

yes, i'm still here. just crazy busy right now. you would think that my life would slow down a little bit not having my own house right now and all the responsibilities that go with that. ha ha ya right-maybe i'll get caught up on the laundry this weekend! anyhew... we are just getting ready for our vacay, and you know me, i'm starting to freak out a little bit that it's not that far away! time to start packin'! the kids are doing so good in school, even little mccoy got to spend the afternoon being a 1st grader yesterday!(i was doing pta stuff and cadens cute teacher asked if she could steal mccoy to come and play with the kids for a little while) he loved it! speaking of pta....i am actually doing double duty at 2 different elementaries!! yes mom, i am that stupid! i'm leg. vp at our current elementary and president elect at our new elementary(for the fall)! but with double the meetings, convention coming up, and helping organize some huge activities at both schools in the next few weeks....my brain has a hard time shutting off at night! not to mention i got a second calling at church that has me so excited, yet scared that i won't do a good job!

but the point of this post was to not make you have a pity party for me!! i actually had a point to this....
my friend, janet and i were talking last week while we were cutting out a bazillion diecuts for our literacy night. she asked me why i was always so happy. wha???? really? obviously she has not seen me screaming at my kids on a monday morning to get there bums a movin'!!

i guess i just don't have a lot to get me down anymore. we have tried to get all the bad stuff out of our lives right now, and try to be better people because of it. we decided to sell our home of 12 years because we really were not happy there (sorry carol, you know i love you) a lot of rumors were said of us and what not causing us to not want to be apart of a ward. yes, we were very inactive...

even now i still hear some rumors, but i'm over it. we now live in a ward with so many loving genuine people. my kids are happy, my hubby's happy, and that makes me smile smile smile! i can say now, we are very active in the church and my testimony has grown so much in just the last couple of months! we love living with grandma and grandpa (even tho my kids just might give grandpa and his dog a stroke). and we look forward to this summer(maybe) when the house in the ward that we want is done and ready for us to move in!(fingers crossed-they're just really slow cleaning it up and out) so that's really it in a nut shell. i am, with out a doubt, happy...

life is what you make it(insert hannah montana song here) and darn it..

we are making a life!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy MaDi!!!

We have a teenager in the house!!!
