Verdict is in!!!

i just found out i have

Lymes Disease!

i know it's insane people!

Really who gets Lymes disease??

But

at least i now know what the crap is going on with my body.

It's going to take a while to be healed, and i may never be healed fully,

but at least we are on a step up to helping my body.

Thanks again for your support!

Love ya all!

Really if you ever have health issues and the doctors keep sending you to other doctors. Make sure you keep fighting for your health!

You are the one who knows your body.

Tis the Season!

random thoughts

-i witnessed a miracle this last week-

A friend had a heart attack and wasn't supposed to live.

i have been praying so very hard for him and his family..

Pleading with the Lord that he would be saved.
i remember praying so very hard for my nephew baby Paul the same way,

but i new deep down in my heart Heavenly Father had other plans for Paul.

We still miss him deeply, but we know we will meet him again, and we can't wait!

Thankfully Heavenly Father gave my friend another chance at life..

how happy i am for him and his family!

i couldn't be more grateful for the Gospel right now..

-

-

-laugh off all the dumb stuff because in the end it doesn't really matter-

-

-

-i don't want anything for Christmas. i really don't... i just feel so grateful for all the lovely people in my life... and of course our Savior!

-

-

-oh how i miss having good health-

i sure took it for granted before..

Even though i have a little junk in my trunk and some flab,

i felt pretty darn healthy 4 months ago.

It's been pretty crazy these last 4 months.

i miss having the energy to do what i need for my kiddos

i don't love telling people about this stuff.

Hopefully in January, we will get some better answers.

I have an appointment with top doc at U of U neuromuscular center.

Unfortuantely they are months booked out.. so i've been waiting and waiting

They are supposed to be the best..

we'll see!

-

-

-realized how extremely lucky i am to have mike as my husband..

honestly he has saved me this last little while!

when he gets home he takes over

by cleaning, cooking, loving the kiddos, and making me laugh..

love you miguel!

-

-

-i need to have more patience-

-

-

-my 2 boys are so wild-

but so much fun

-

-

-i can stand whining from 1 child, but when both are whining i feel as though i could burst-

i just tell myself "breath jami... breath!" or i go to the other room and scream!

sometimes i feel like i'm taking crazy pills! he he

-

-

-i'm done judging people.. you never know what they are going through in there lives.

-

-

i love laughing and of course my diet coke with lime

-

-

-sorry for boring you with my randoms..

i'm sure many don't care..

but it's for my record!

Cheers!

Dear Dog,

You just showed up one morning.

We thought you were so cute the first day.

You've now been around for 4!

We're getting a little worn out...

You bark constantly.

You only answer to Bernie.

You lick all your food.

You lift your leg and pretend to pee in the house.

You want to go on walks all day...

Dear Dog,

Can you please return back to cute Bridger??

NOVEMBER Happenings

Bridger got his face painted like Bateman. He loved it, but we could not get the black off around his eyes for days after, so it looked like he had eyeliner on!(this picture doesn't do justice) He had to go to church looking like Adam Lambert!

roasting mallows indoors and making smores

Catching up with some wonderful friends

i love my friend sarah.. truly a wonderful person!

(by the way she is pregnant with a BOY!!)

MY BRO'S

love these guys(and there gals)

we had a fun night watching old home video's

and laughing our butts off

i'm blessed with some great friends in my life!


FORTS

i'm still having some health issues,

so we have been keeping ourselves entertained indoors
it's been pretty fun

keeping safe under there "fort" with there animals and blankets

i love foster's legs sticking out

OUR DARE DEVIL

You can't leave this kid alone for 10 seconds.

If i do,

He will climb up to the top of things and jump!

He always has lots of bumps and bruises:(

Usually when he gets hurt he just stands right up and keeps on going...

(future football player i'm guessing)

CHRISTMAS TIME ACTIVITIES

the kiddos had a blast making ornaments with cousins and Aunts

and decorating cookies and eating 10 each

Oh how i love Christmas time.

We decorated and started Christmas music 2 weeks ago!

i just couldn't wait.

And the best part is i get to threaten Bridge with

Santa Claus and being good!!!

FAV'S from the HALLOWEEN SEASON :

Zions and St.George

Beautiful Zions 2 wonderful men. my Dad and his Dad

Boys with Papa

I think the Fall is the best time of the year to visit Zions

some good entertainment while stuck in hotel because the cold

WILDLIFE MUSEUM IN ST. GEORGE

This museum was really fun. They have animals from all over the world. The animals are all stuffed, so it was a little tricky trying to explain to Bridger how they got there.

They have a kid area where they can pet the (dead) animals. It's pretty fun. Bridger became best buddies with this bear feeding it and hugging it!

Foster did not like this place.. He was terrified of the animals!

Foster clinging on to Great Papa

He was quite happy just doing puzzles

We dressed up and searched for wildlife
