Another update without photos..

So for those of you who haven't looked at my blog for a while I'm in school. Doing a nail Tech program. so far it's been tons of fun. Been kind of hectic with my schedule and kids and getting them a babysitter. I'm so grateful for my in law! So far we've done manicure, pedicures, and some acrylics. Tomorrow we're doing gel toes! I'm so excited for that part. It's been great fun. I'm much happier, and I feel like I'm doing awesome in my class. We are doing clients so if you want something done, speak up whenever and I'll let you know what days. So far things have been good as far as clients go. Everything is free if its done in class, cause that's the only time I can count hours unless it's for a dance or something. Otherwise I do charge for product, but it's not bad! I do have to say though that thru all this being gone every night, Kaylynn is sleeping better and acting better when I'm gone! It's SO nice. I do miss my kids but it's been good for some adult time! But life keeps going on with whatever! I will soon get some photos up of some nails and such that I've been doing. I'm getting better at sculpting, and everything else has been easy. I'm over 50 hours already, that means only 250 to go by the end of december! :D

5 Generations

So this last sunday, AFTER my aunt sherra had gone back home, my aunt Donna and aunt Karen decided to bring my great grandmother down from Logan to see her daughter, my grandmother since she was moved into a retirement home a few weeks ago. It was total surprise. Not for all her kids and grandkids but for her. We had a BBQ at my parents house, and while there we took 5 generation pics. Cause 5 generations doesn't happen very often! These were all that was there to take 5 generation pics, but still, it's good to have!

Long weeks and busy days

Well the last few weeks have been WAY long and have started to get very busy. 2 weekends ago Riley got sick with some sort of stomach bug and was vomiting and dry heaving for 6 hours, and I happened to be at my parents, no so fun on both accounts. But I was grateful for my parents who helped me and to my dad and my uncle Carl who hold the preisthood and could give both me and Riley blessings to help. Kaylynn had a really hard time with it cause I tried to not touch her get to close to her or anything after I had been with Riley I didn't want to pass the virus. She was not happy and she was so tired, Tara managed to get her to sleep and since then she LOVES Tara. Would rather be held by her then me when she's around. I think it's nice :D

I didn't start school on the 30th like I thought I started the 7th. Still good, but I was sad we started so late. But this first week of school has been busy and fun. Crazy with getting babysitters for what night, and all that, but I'm grateful for in-laws who are willing to help us out with the kids! I did my first manicure last night, and gave one to Tara today! They are fun and easy, but I can't wait to get into acrylics and gels. :D But once I can start taking clients you'll be hearing from me!!

As far as the kids go, they are both good Kaylynn never got the virus, out of all of us. Isaiah got a cold and was down, on his days off though, and I was sick this week, still not feeling the greatest, but we'll see how things go. Riley is definately being a good sport about going to grandmas or Austy's for the evening, and Kaylynn is doing much better at it as well. Isaiah is now on a 6 month trial of 8am-6pm right now, which has been HEAVEN! I love being able to see him every night and have him home with the kids. I hope they decide to keep it, and not go back to rotating through the shifts. :D :D As for me, not much other then kids during the day, school at night. It's fun and good. I'm doing Weight Watchers with Tara and thus far I have lost 10 lbs and I don't know how many inches off my waist, but I'm feeling healthier!

School

I can't believe that school starts next Monday!! I'm so excited but nervous all at the same time! If you don't already kno I'm going thru the nail tech program at CEU. We've had a few bumps in the road as far as finanical aid goes, but otherwise I'm ready to get this thing done! If you want to help me out by being a model, feel free to call me! Or call the Cosmotology Dept at CEU once school starts and make an appt with me!

I'm grateful

So lately I've been trying toget my meds leveled out and the right one and because of it I've seemed really negative. Being a mom and wife is not always the easiest job in the world, and you give up a lot of things for your kids and husband. But I wouldn't want to change being a mom for the world. So I just wanted to list all the things I'm grateful, worldly and non-worldly.

Elk Farm

So on our way up to Yellowstone we stopped in Whitney, ID where my Uncle Eldon lives. He's actually by great uncle, cause he's my grandma's brother. :D but he owns an elk farm and we always love to stop and see the elk. We really wanted to stop so Isaiah's sister Kara and her family could see them, and so the kids could see them too. It was really neat to see all the big bulls that he's got this year, he sai one of them could reach over 500 points, and that was 2 weeks ago! So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him.

Isaiah has always wondered what my Uncle Eldon does with the antlers when he cuts the antlers off in the winter before he lets them fall off. Cause he's got loads of antlers in his back shed and such too, well I finally asked my uncle what he does with them. He told me that he cuts them off and then sticks the bulk of them in a deep freeze. Why you ask? He does this and send them to a 3rd world country where they grind them up and use them in medicine, because something about them have great healing properties or something or other..I can't really remember. But I thought that was so cool, and very giving.

The big bulls, he has smaller ones but they were farther away and harder to get pictures of.

For as long as I can remember my uncle has had a sort of domesticated cow elk. She is very good around people and you can pet her and touch her and even sit on her! She was bottle fed as a baby so she's really friendly. Kara's family really enjoyed that part, and we were even able to feed her some carrots. It as alot like a horse but better! LOL Kaylynn was a little scared but Riley loved every minute of it.

At one point she did get out, but all she wanted was the tree leaves to eat. It was kind of like rounding up cattle to get her back inside the fence, no harm done. :D
