We will have been married for 7 years in August and we have yet to get out of the honeymoon stage!! I love spending every minute with Rob as I can!! I truly married my best friend!!

Carson is 18 months and he is sooo filled with life!! He loves to play with the older kids and he has NO FEAR!! Which means I have a couple of white hairs!!

Kimball is now 11 and in no way acts like it!! He is soo mature and sweet!! He acts like a 18 years old minus the hating me part ;) He always is the first to offer help and hugs!! I am soo lucky to have him!!

Kiley...Ohh my Kiley!! She is 5 going on 15. She wants to be older soo bad!! She is tough, stubborn, fearless, and sooo much fun!! She loves to laugh and play hard!! She beats the boys everytime!!!

My Sweet sweet Cooper. He is my smiling, happy, loving boy!! Kimball and him have almost the exact personality!! They are always willing to give me hugs and snuggles!!

Lifestyle Change

2009-06-09T10:47:00.000-07:00

So here it is out in the open for the whole world to see. I have officially let myself go. I am not living life. I am just sitting thru life. Waiting for the next thing to happen. From today on, I am going to change!!! I have put on 25 pounds that I need to get off. The more weight that I put on the slower I get. I do not play with my kids as much because I am to tired, and that is a vicious cycle. I am tired so I don't move, I don't move and that makes me more tired. Here is a list of things that I am going to change. If there is anyone that wants to join me in being a better all around person then shoot me an email.

The New Me:
1. Wake up before 8:30 (I know that seems late to most of you but I am a night owl and my kids do not wake up before 10:00.
2. After I am up, I am going to take that quiet time and read my scriptures.
3. WORK OUT!!! My goal is to be able to run 3 miles without stopping
4. Eat Breakfast and get kids dressed before 10:00AM
5. Eat less at meals
6. Cook More vegetables
7. Do something for someone else at least once a week without being asked
8. Play with my kids more, they are growing up so fast and I am afraid that I am missing it.
9. Not to yell at my kids!! It does not help and I need a better approach.( Any suggestions)
10. Enjoy Life. Not what is going to happen but enjoy life right now, I want to enjoy the ages of my kids I want to enjoy all the things that we can DO and forget about the things we can't.
11. Last but not least I want to be Strong, Confident, Secure, and Caring.

Thanks for reading!! I want everyone to hold me accountable for everything.
No one can make me Happy but myself!!

!!!Here are some things to think about!!!
1.When in doubt, just take the next small step.
2.You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
3.Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
4.Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
5.Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
6.Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
7.Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
8.No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
9.Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?
10.What other people think of you is of your business..
11.Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
12.However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
13.Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
14.Believe in miracles.
15.Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
16.Your children get only one childhood.
17.If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
18.Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
19.No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up

Tag

2007-12-10T13:13:00.000-08:00

Tag Your It

So I have been tagged! This might take me a while so I wrote things down the last couple of days so here it is.

1. I love to play. I would rather play with my kids and teach them things. That is why my house is not always the cleanest.
2. I am not a baker. I love to cook ohh how I love to cook but I HATE to make dessert. Don't get me wrong, I love to eat it, I just hate to bake. I will take 3 hours to make dinner and be soo happy doing it but making brownies from a box takes to long for me.
3. Growing up, I always wanted to be in the Air Force as a fighter pilot. When I was sixteen I took classes to be a pilot.
4. My Big Brother saved me from going down the wrong path once and it changed my life!!!! Love ya Trev (he literaly was Big Brother listening on my phone call)
5. I paid to go to Fiji when I was 14 and dig holes for 3 months. (hahahahaha)It was one of the best times in my life
6. I married the most gentle, loving, honrable man in the whole world. (some might already know that)
7. My husband is just like my Dad
8. I love to paint....rooms and hallways and whole rooms.
9. I love to drive stick shift. I love the rev of the engine as I switch gears. I had one once but I had to trade it in for a family car.
10. I love snowball fights and hot chocolate. One of my favorite memories was taking Kimball up to Bogus. Just him and I on a date and we went up there and threw snowballs and sat in the lodge and drank hot chocolate and talked!!!!

Well that was fun!!!!

This day is one of those days where you know that everything from this day forward things will be different!!! Kimball choose to be baptised on his 8th Birthday. He overcame so much to be able to. Kimball is such an amazing spirit. This day was something that Rob and I and the whole Chandler Clan prayed for, for months.
