B-day. We Celebrated with dinner at Texas Road House with Karl and Jess and their kids, and Jessica's Mom, and Marks' Parents. They treated us to our yummy steak dinner. Then Mark and I (and Nick) got a little crazy and snuck onto the golf coarse for a short walk and snuggling on the green. I felt like a teenager again doing something we are really not suppose to do. Good thing we didn't get caught. FUN!!<br /><br />We finally came home on the 27th, and then went back up to Monticello, UT. for Josie's Baptism. We are so proud of you Josie to make this very important decision. Thank you for setting such a good example for your younger cousins.We had lots of fun.<br />Here are some pics of the kids. Shanna and I let them climb on the rocks while we waited for help to fix the flat tire on the suburban. Turned out to be a lot of fun.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZS8DGN_4A4zIuTseR6e4WhLyLr7ZBSojdyjCoVFECjEbtbw9dyTfUGml2WXRtSK65dEJ9lgP-Ec3A-VdTY51IUEAx7To1GGil2ra9HOSbu6Er1CaYipx4VLB_C77AXWYepvR3PSl9r23I/s1600-h/IMG_3069.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZS8DGN_4A4zIuTseR6e4WhLyLr7ZBSojdyjCoVFECjEbtbw9dyTfUGml2WXRtSK65dEJ9lgP-Ec3A-VdTY51IUEAx7To1GGil2ra9HOSbu6Er1CaYipx4VLB_C77AXWYepvR3PSl9r23I/s200/IMG_3069.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335416992558648674" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja7ONu5dZg77c3YZ_uCE9oDQO1-m1BFMXl5I2GUi9KGkcEcRsq2nNl4qfZMyfBKQQJ19d6QvFGUi3bR6jXJLrpCIXOmfyqbpDTR19TG-s3MpPflvZ3zwubBAaN-ptpGaJ7ptIUy92M-nA3/s1600-h/IMG_3047.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja7ONu5dZg77c3YZ_uCE9oDQO1-m1BFMXl5I2GUi9KGkcEcRsq2nNl4qfZMyfBKQQJ19d6QvFGUi3bR6jXJLrpCIXOmfyqbpDTR19TG-s3MpPflvZ3zwubBAaN-ptpGaJ7ptIUy92M-nA3/s200/IMG_3047.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335416987722917234" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQxZxG2GmgrRCp-gHp-Qbyglz65h_oF_fUZu8QB98EvFmvnQ8HyrvtDD-ntJZU8nhE0YkL75W1kHHq-PSXlIcsX8ZnDOAzkI-G_LQjrgI2WE87iJuuVRpKAetYWOfMuBYNnTZDUE_Uvr1V/s1600-h/IMG_3063.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQxZxG2GmgrRCp-gHp-Qbyglz65h_oF_fUZu8QB98EvFmvnQ8HyrvtDD-ntJZU8nhE0YkL75W1kHHq-PSXlIcsX8ZnDOAzkI-G_LQjrgI2WE87iJuuVRpKAetYWOfMuBYNnTZDUE_Uvr1V/s200/IMG_3063.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335415840355812114" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQfBiRJqWHF-Kq1trAG8d9URuU4SRv_h8GFk2aYdxJGSA3KSVnqDNSn8qlk4WWtofS_QN_NeYQx6vF4gqQGC7GZnsnhB8nlzE3L56IZ9UzjupgXiHqdY51N4K4Sa2DhfWb-cxjWPqPgDiX/s1600-h/IMG_3057.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQfBiRJqWHF-Kq1trAG8d9URuU4SRv_h8GFk2aYdxJGSA3KSVnqDNSn8qlk4WWtofS_QN_NeYQx6vF4gqQGC7GZnsnhB8nlzE3L56IZ9UzjupgXiHqdY51N4K4Sa2DhfWb-cxjWPqPgDiX/s200/IMG_3057.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335415826607492546" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgABu6JVWbd41IKvkuqX9_YVGh1Hdu3dE_gT7EYDw-dpywvSwyMqV3KBrOWfBsnvQHxB9HJgUfUIL9eFen8XbLiHKg9FY8ocQM5uPjM0yhfvBdZDxhMQGXu0H4SN5ub3H9cCNSEfQBSA1Gk/s1600-h/IMG_3037.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgABu6JVWbd41IKvkuqX9_YVGh1Hdu3dE_gT7EYDw-dpywvSwyMqV3KBrOWfBsnvQHxB9HJgUfUIL9eFen8XbLiHKg9FY8ocQM5uPjM0yhfvBdZDxhMQGXu0H4SN5ub3H9cCNSEfQBSA1Gk/s200/IMG_3037.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335415822474818114" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinrwEsU5Zk_CYsv50v71n7gnD3jthGMFDMyvT447dA2_B-qtitEznkcWpee80Z4k-4YIUIES_4Iz3DPhTh6JObFHUUq8uM83JSF1NVazASFRWU6KSSqLzct-2ClJCiZvXv6VQMUCtFTGHF/s1600-h/IMG_3067.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinrwEsU5Zk_CYsv50v71n7gnD3jthGMFDMyvT447dA2_B-qtitEznkcWpee80Z4k-4YIUIES_4Iz3DPhTh6JObFHUUq8uM83JSF1NVazASFRWU6KSSqLzct-2ClJCiZvXv6VQMUCtFTGHF/s200/IMG_3067.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335417888671413138" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Mark and I stayed another week because Mark was doing some work on my sisters house.

Oh well... better luck next time!<br /><br />I was expecting to have a more calming and spiritual experience this time around because I knew I was going to be induced, and deliver without an epidural this time. I had it all planed out. I knew when I wanted a priesthood blessing, I knew how I was going to focus, and what primary songs I was going to sing to take me to "my zone" (in my head of course as not to frighten anybody). I knew what clothes I wanted wear, waterproof mascara, and the red lipstick with leg warmers to match. I even knew how and where I wanted Mark to stand and what I wanted him to do. Yeah, It didn't all work out the way I had imagined.<br /><br />Now, I will briefly share how it all went down!<br /><br />Sunday morning at 2:40am something wakes me from my not so deep slumber. I think that was a contraction, I cant quite remember what they feel like. So, I do nothing till I realize that they are occurring every 3-5 min. They don't hurt yet, so I think nothing is happening. I time them in out of a drowsy state and finally at around 3:30am I get up to go to the bathroom to relieve some of the pressure I am feeling, and in the mean while I get a drink and some paper so I can more precisely time what I think are contractions. Yep, approximately every 2-4min now. So I am convinced that what I am feeling must be contractions. Still very bearable pain so I don't think anything needs to be rushed. 4:00am now I go the bathroom again, this time I see something different. So, I wake up Mark and tell him we will need to leave soon, but I want to take a shower first. He says <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ok</span>, helps <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Kaden</span> go the bathroom (he has woken up for potty break himself) and falls back to sleep fast. Its about 4:50am now I jump in the shower and start shaving my legs when I was suddenly doubled over by some sort of pain I had never felt before, and all the sudden the "urge to push" was slightly unbearable. I hurried and washed out my hair, got out of the shower and went to wake up Mark to tell him we need to go NOW! At that moment I felt more pain that brought me to my knees this time and I think I may have scared Mark and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Kaden</span> both, Mark is calling Matt and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Candee</span> at this point (thank goodness they live so close.) <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Kaden</span> comes over to me and asked if I was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">ok</span>, gave me kiss and was whisked away to the cousins house. Mark was gone approx. 5 min and in that time I had managed to get my bra and blue house coat on in between two more contractions. I was starting to get worried now, so I had started to pray to ask for help to deal with the pain and stop the urge to push, those of you that have had babies know that that is slightly impossible. The second Mark walked back in, my water broke. I now finally realize just how close things are going to be coming to an end and tell Mark to call 911 because I don't think I can make it to the hospital. ( as you can tell I am slightly starting to panic). Then I change my mind and say lets go. 5:10am Mark didn't let me down! We were going 95 mph the whole way there and I had him call the hospital on our way to let them know we were coming. Don't think we <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">stoped</span> for any stop sign's or the 4 red lights we ran (one <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">infront</span> of a cop, he must not have been paying attention.) I only had 4 contractions in the truck and poor Mark all he heard was me praying, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">ok</span> pleading and begging intensely with the Lord to not let the baby come yet. This no pushing thing is really hard to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">control</span>. He was very supportive just telling me to wait (yeah right) and we are almost there. So, we pull into the ER entrance and they are there waiting with a bed, they lay me down and take me in. My doctor had just walked in as well, (he was still in his street clothes). He just looked at me and said "yep you can push." FINALLY!!! 4 min. and 4 pushes later here is this beautiful little baby on my chest crying his little lungs out. And I just fell in LOVE all over again. AMAZING!!!<br /><br />So we left at 5:10am and I delivered at 5:29am. Mind you, the hospital is <span style="font-size:130%;">usually</span> a 20min drive from our house. GO MARK!<br /><br />Here is what <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Kaden</span> has <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">been</span> doing lately! He learned how to ride his bike without training wheels about 3 weeks ago! He is not even 3yrs old yet. He practice in his cousins back yard. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Sadee</span> practiced with him for about 30 min. then he had it down. Now we cant seem to get him off and he is is learning new tricks on it every day it seems. This kid amazes me.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMNY7t2hu-prmJ6o6jwLD-EP2HCjKFYrdaBHG2fGf2OV9mWXwsKuzG4xWu8HgG1RRwokltQbR-En0BG9lBLvN8ceVsfVTDs-9UA5dcyMh8iQquyh8YWQqGWEemxpKPtuaZvP4y2eNn2QVA/s1600-h/Shalice's+camrea+dump+3-1-09+046.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMNY7t2hu-prmJ6o6jwLD-EP2HCjKFYrdaBHG2fGf2OV9mWXwsKuzG4xWu8HgG1RRwokltQbR-En0BG9lBLvN8ceVsfVTDs-9UA5dcyMh8iQquyh8YWQqGWEemxpKPtuaZvP4y2eNn2QVA/s200/Shalice's+camrea+dump+3-1-09+046.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308693965032745442" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheJidq-lEZB8MQw1Rbdbaf0UHQz6AfgLuwsiHRlkwqKuqwNP9Dx82SqHcgjFHPyGQzCAh_eB7r8TmvzVyVe_9hcm4t4GtzI-g4zdYioPvbaFEPUHKS0K5g-ggaCTedo1nFL8MnG7XML3GQ/s1600-h/Shalice's+camrea+dump+3-1-09+049.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 161px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheJidq-lEZB8MQw1Rbdbaf0UHQz6AfgLuwsiHRlkwqKuqwNP9Dx82SqHcgjFHPyGQzCAh_eB7r8TmvzVyVe_9hcm4t4GtzI-g4zdYioPvbaFEPUHKS0K5g-ggaCTedo1nFL8MnG7XML3GQ/s200/Shalice's+camrea+dump+3-1-09+049.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308693967442127330" border="0" /></a></div>Shalicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13557661729056260835noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631169602018065519.post-14269748114356406292009-01-29T13:05:00.000-08:002009-01-29T13:12:27.213-08:00Still here...I am slightly depressed to be sitting here able to post SOMETHING. I was hoping to be at the hospital or perhaps bringing home new baby Nick by now! I think I may be overly anxious because I had already delivered Kaden at this point. Oh well... maybe he still needs to cook a little longer!

We have been busy somewhat over here. Mark's sister got married in UT. Sept. 27. Her and Jason were married in Lindon at Marks grandparents house. Everything about it was beautiful. The people, weather, ambiance, scenery, everything! I would post pics, but I left my camera in Monticello on our way home, Whoops.

That is my cousin Shane Figueroa. My heart hurts for his wife and baby, for all our family really. Even when we were kids, he at 2yrs. my younger, I recognized how special he was. Quiet, respect full to everyone, and humble is how I will remember his character. At only 25 yr. old it just doesn't seem fair. We just have to trust the Lord and remember He has a plan for us all.</div><br /><br /><div align="center">I am feeling better from being pregnant!! This feeling of not having to throw up every time I move, or smell something, headaches, sour stomach, nausea. You know, the works. Well it has dispersed much sooner than it did with Kaden. What a blessing!!! Mark has been working like crazy, it just makes me love him more!! I swear, I just fall more in love with my two boy's every day. Well, that's it for now. </div>Shalicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13557661729056260835noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631169602018065519.post-67713651961097199252008-09-16T10:59:00.000-07:002008-09-17T16:09:17.625-07:00YEAH, IT"S A BOY!!<div align="center">Just what we wanted! Mark and I think Kaden is going to love having a little brother. He on the other hand wants nothing to do with a new sibling. Any time we ask him if he is excited or happy he says "NO", or just walks away. We thought if we took him to the ultrasound yesterday and he had a chance to be a part of what was happening and see the baby, he might get excited, or at least except it. Not the case. He was ok in the room besides tipping over the garbage can, and scooting the chair around the room making all kinds of ruckus. The only thing he said when he saw his new little brother was "look a snake" (referring to the baby's spine). We all had a good laugh at that one. </div><br /><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247130710495465026" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitt5S5GBpuWvgtIfWKt0uhc6x31vXbBtCjn2F3Vlp0ZMFwJ15KBiyfDuIbMaVurNDM2p7ZaCLsBZYRm0WmlTb258axfCwlxN8xVyM3_xezOXIXHVYxpJfdKG9iHJeuIAE6eeu2AepuHK0s/s200/002.jpg" border="0" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZZN3YpSqaNp8XTj0bt1Q73djcF9blYPV3PXjwvCwcS3MZecFH2M6AZWqHrMWqZwRwojCOsG3AP4pmjrSdfk0SfYMXXEjEXBInE3QAK4l96Ea7UQGSUYtoj5DAAn1VvR7zvuNIzsT5HAYj/s1600-h/001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247130709379494338" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZZN3YpSqaNp8XTj0bt1Q73djcF9blYPV3PXjwvCwcS3MZecFH2M6AZWqHrMWqZwRwojCOsG3AP4pmjrSdfk0SfYMXXEjEXBInE3QAK4l96Ea7UQGSUYtoj5DAAn1VvR7zvuNIzsT5HAYj/s200/001.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp_LOrp6SvaHamVfnjxAmAokIlQQJ4FFGLTxGsh5YeXd6xFdaDJvtLxFGuIRr4szXTNS6MESKYjiAqHWSxVvRNXXGUyxxX4D7Pb1iCKbwSCGaRqKM-_gWByoTOgx5iSO5UurTOMoZheTjw/s1600-h/003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247130715260796338" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp_LOrp6SvaHamVfnjxAmAokIlQQJ4FFGLTxGsh5YeXd6xFdaDJvtLxFGuIRr4szXTNS6MESKYjiAqHWSxVvRNXXGUyxxX4D7Pb1iCKbwSCGaRqKM-_gWByoTOgx5iSO5UurTOMoZheTjw/s200/003.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div align="center">After Kaden woke up from his nap, he came into the kitchen where I was making lunch and pulled on my leg and said "I want to hold you" (aka, hold me). So, I stop what I was doing, and go sit in the chair to hold him. Then, Kaden climbs in to my lap with a pacifier in his mouth, he has NEVER taken a paci. Believe me, I have tried. He prefers his thumb!! He then tells me to rock and sing to him. Poor guy, I think he thinks he wont be my baby anymore. Maybe that's why he is so against another BABY living in our house! </div>Shalicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13557661729056260835noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631169602018065519.post-50505266377679004292008-08-08T13:12:00.000-07:002008-08-08T15:04:29.722-07:00WOW<div align="center">OHH WOW, where do I even start. A lot has happened the past while, I am not going into detail because there is WAY too much! And I have been getting headaches lately when I am on the computer. The BIGGEST and best new thing that has happened is ......<br /><br /></div><div align="center">YEP, I am PREGNANT!! </div><div align="center"><br /><br /></div><div align="center">14 weeks right now, and sick as ever. I am not complaining, I am just happy to be pregnant, even with all that comes with it. (lets just hope it doesn't last till 32 weeks this time.) </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">So, just go over a few things quickly, Kaden has had to become an even bigger big boy now that "mom" just lays down all the time. He has mastered the potty, he washes his own hands, toys and any thing else I will let him get wet. He even try's to feed himself! I am not sure how ok am with that. Sometimes it turns out alright, and sometimes, NOT!! He finished both sessions of swim lessons, and did amazingly well!! He can jump in and swim back to the ledge by himself. GO KADEN!! </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOjeF4tBrVnLbZzCGVPxNZX78Xcq87IVfUJab15VbsPr9NntDZywuLdKvRqPfyBOvSJCwZ_nzd_ueqRxWPCMRvgouKm1N2oGqJQv4pGcKyeQH6Ju8wPtzYxPMAhbhWvM_aKVKRUElgBEzb/s1600-h/IMG_2499.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232247007431752562" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOjeF4tBrVnLbZzCGVPxNZX78Xcq87IVfUJab15VbsPr9NntDZywuLdKvRqPfyBOvSJCwZ_nzd_ueqRxWPCMRvgouKm1N2oGqJQv4pGcKyeQH6Ju8wPtzYxPMAhbhWvM_aKVKRUElgBEzb/s320/IMG_2499.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5DCvfNOiiqUeSlRjqCErEhBe08_CYgsdQzrjVUVkP8rZmFAcH4kUigIjP1cNQhJpE7MmnlHr5uddAnKFsWsdDdFky0608Ge2qj54892PUZowZ5dr367b9nOh3isiflZV6MMDkNNiISn3X/s1600-h/IMG_2608.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232247013930215218" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5DCvfNOiiqUeSlRjqCErEhBe08_CYgsdQzrjVUVkP8rZmFAcH4kUigIjP1cNQhJpE7MmnlHr5uddAnKFsWsdDdFky0608Ge2qj54892PUZowZ5dr367b9nOh3isiflZV6MMDkNNiISn3X/s320/IMG_2608.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOSj9AOsKGTpTpSpqC2Ji6JlLj_zZ3ugFTwPSf0upNaoS0SET00QmO7ax7GH505opiQeCIVMX2cizFHN7E8a2z1nL9z0vX39ZCB9j2sK1L-tfhD48FntcolnwqayB0tIfC4y0VQskBHUJF/s1600-h/IMG_2505.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232247011921162162" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOSj9AOsKGTpTpSpqC2Ji6JlLj_zZ3ugFTwPSf0upNaoS0SET00QmO7ax7GH505opiQeCIVMX2cizFHN7E8a2z1nL9z0vX39ZCB9j2sK1L-tfhD48FntcolnwqayB0tIfC4y0VQskBHUJF/s320/IMG_2505.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7wk1glsIbt__z__ZpBDixEXjunVhbCpO6EekaIFo9ve5FcVO8Q7h59Keod1VCOl9tqisWBZp-G9LVzDHk-oJJx4MfcLhCnZq-yddMj8NanN1LB0-2PQgKY9NCRyj52OdN2SKHzhraRt3M/s1600-h/IMG_2606.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232247018288558978" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7wk1glsIbt__z__ZpBDixEXjunVhbCpO6EekaIFo9ve5FcVO8Q7h59Keod1VCOl9tqisWBZp-G9LVzDHk-oJJx4MfcLhCnZq-yddMj8NanN1LB0-2PQgKY9NCRyj52OdN2SKHzhraRt3M/s320/IMG_2606.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdOz8eEzhIUO-YOB-IU_TINCPfyNkx8HmzQnE3fDjuDnMzo_yuzA36sN7k_7sqCVXO1tgwh2fiLhZBgJcFSSFKACa7tAp1xI6FGe_Dl7TDS9xDoUEkUvsajRPG5zURATagpewQJivM37ki/s1600-h/IMG_2497.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232247020946853666" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdOz8eEzhIUO-YOB-IU_TINCPfyNkx8HmzQnE3fDjuDnMzo_yuzA36sN7k_7sqCVXO1tgwh2fiLhZBgJcFSSFKACa7tAp1xI6FGe_Dl7TDS9xDoUEkUvsajRPG5zURATagpewQJivM37ki/s320/IMG_2497.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOe7sGm8Qodk1qoUzsvjbY5S8rG87JaZbnrxBXwglRotM2PU_vnjBq0348V6KX0J2EnNXVzAvwe47PMDL348zUMn8et2LyhrzCpeUXROjnLEZRjYrQWGu9P-KBf1_TvgGDqoV1tEw7mdho/s1600-h/IMG_2519.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232247486594753314" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOe7sGm8Qodk1qoUzsvjbY5S8rG87JaZbnrxBXwglRotM2PU_vnjBq0348V6KX0J2EnNXVzAvwe47PMDL348zUMn8et2LyhrzCpeUXROjnLEZRjYrQWGu9P-KBf1_TvgGDqoV1tEw7mdho/s320/IMG_2519.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgugXvJxGiCcb0TwATak2g8vgrohVVMYAIGjq9n9ymt-7cG7a7G3-2ugF7aqDXFsmqAO2pUbQ4vjxBq8Tg0kdNHiLQUovizg3WK1rRevfDkOGmH-ZjnrUe7l3F-JX9sT9sIHnILpFmb3eME/s1600-h/IMG_2521.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232247483021477410" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgugXvJxGiCcb0TwATak2g8vgrohVVMYAIGjq9n9ymt-7cG7a7G3-2ugF7aqDXFsmqAO2pUbQ4vjxBq8Tg0kdNHiLQUovizg3WK1rRevfDkOGmH-ZjnrUe7l3F-JX9sT9sIHnILpFmb3eME/s320/IMG_2521.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">We had the Skousen family reunion, FUN!

I am so blessed to have such amazing parents who are still willing to just shake their head and sometimes even participate when we all get crazy! But they always seem to keep things in line. I always cherish the time I get to spend with my siblings, especially the ones that don't live close. I cant say enough good and uplifting things about my brothers and sisters. I love you all!!

(AGAIN)<div align="center">Well, I guess it is time for me to sit down and get back on track. A lot has happened the past couple of weeks, we have been very busy. It all started two weeks ago when we were <span style="font-size:130%;">asked to speak</span> in sacrament meeting. That <span style="font-size:130%;">very second</span> Mark and I were asked, (which was right after Sunday school ended) the <span style="font-size:130%;">stress </span>and <span style="font-size:130%;">panic </span>of the situation hit a high! I tried to think of an excuse to say <span style="font-size:130%;">NO</span> but I couldn't think quick enough before... "<span style="font-size:130%;">sure we would love to</span>" came right out of <span style="font-size:130%;">MY</span> mouth. All within that same second, I was thinking <span style="font-size:130%;">what the heck</span>... did I just say that? To say the least, I was physically and mentally ill all last week! Well, we gave our talks yesterday and <span style="font-size:130%;">I survived</span>. Don't worry about Mark he always does a great job, and never gets quite as nervous as I do. By the way, we spoke on how to recognize and understand the spirit. It went well, (or so people say).</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Besides all that, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Kaden</span></span></span> is in a <span style="font-size:130%;">big boy bed</span> now, and we decided to try what I though was going to be nearly impossible... <span style="font-size:130%;">POTTY TRAIN</span>... all in the same week, I must be<span style="font-size:130%;"> CRAZY</span>!! Let me just say, I am amazed at my little man and the things he<span style="font-size:130%;"> can</span> accomplish!! </div><div align="center">I will admit, the first week when we were at home, he was running around naked. (most of the time) But in one week, he only had 3 accidents, all on different days!! <span style="font-size:130%;">WOW</span>! (I am sure that the frequently reminders, and reward with <span style="font-size:130%;">GUMMY WORMS</span> and <span style="font-size:130%;">OTTER POPS</span> had nothing to do with it... right!!) The next week, (which was this past week) was a little different. He got a stomach bug that was not very nice! So, he had a few more accidents, but he is back on track now and doing even better then before. Good job <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Kaden</span></span></span>!

A good time was had by all!</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Last weekend we got to go on a serious <span style="font-size:130%;">quad ride</span>!! It has been a long time waiting for me. Box Canyon was <span style="font-size:130%;">beautiful</span>, and our destination, the Coke Ovens. It wasn't easy getting there, we had to go <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">threw</span> a train <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">tunnel</span> and across the bridge then cross a<span style="font-size:130%;"> raging river</span> and everything. That was quite the sight. Most people would turn around when they saw the river, (<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">in fact</span> they did, we saw a few people, they dared not take on the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">obstacle</span>) but oh no... <span style="font-size:130%;">not us</span>. Mark, with some help of some friends decided to <span style="font-size:130%;">carry</span> the quads and bikes across because the water was too <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">deep to</span> ride threw.

Or should I say... the tire broke.

He worked all day, then we got to go on a hot date all by our selves thanks to Grandma!!! I guess that was special because it doesn't happen very often. So, I got to make 2 fun cakes in one week, because we celebrated Marks dad AKA <span style="font-size:130%;">Papa's b-day</span> earlier in the week. It was a good time. </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQdwgc6rF9xqoC2IIwGp9BnhFqxz8IfpH2o0zmA67ugM5MKTLeX_ejCrQrhh-hkAm1H1EZD-5nUn-QQL7t8Vq-DZM-4nCdGHGgxC4HbtEpmUjKo95iPaGUN6Roz6NpVN2JWh8F4suvinsQ/s1600-h/IMG_2465.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210105267459438018" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQdwgc6rF9xqoC2IIwGp9BnhFqxz8IfpH2o0zmA67ugM5MKTLeX_ejCrQrhh-hkAm1H1EZD-5nUn-QQL7t8Vq-DZM-4nCdGHGgxC4HbtEpmUjKo95iPaGUN6Roz6NpVN2JWh8F4suvinsQ/s200/IMG_2465.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuJwR_3QmXf7DSkqFY7VngMj9oM76DyD74iaI6R9TA91qRP93J2wMUwDJ0Nkq1vDstC4l13n4r80orXVmpBMuQ1ZrjHcmUdxvOBYvS6kWlNZmMwGrNphvZZZN29nVrJALKi6a-n75pi7Bq/s1600-h/IMG_2471.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210105274083402242" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuJwR_3QmXf7DSkqFY7VngMj9oM76DyD74iaI6R9TA91qRP93J2wMUwDJ0Nkq1vDstC4l13n4r80orXVmpBMuQ1ZrjHcmUdxvOBYvS6kWlNZmMwGrNphvZZZN29nVrJALKi6a-n75pi7Bq/s200/IMG_2471.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3QHLjale3B32IyBX4FdPUkLbwL1M6PREU3UDWHpDMsjv9oOyZgvYMiQKaz00gtt4IOgwblkzVsLk8pVkoAgPN-_gTPWbIbQ1_Slse2wKBNgmEx6rdtogXjtZaWZ9XuVDcD3EH8unnc84v/s1600-h/IMG_2479.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210105282083319298" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3QHLjale3B32IyBX4FdPUkLbwL1M6PREU3UDWHpDMsjv9oOyZgvYMiQKaz00gtt4IOgwblkzVsLk8pVkoAgPN-_gTPWbIbQ1_Slse2wKBNgmEx6rdtogXjtZaWZ9XuVDcD3EH8unnc84v/s200/IMG_2479.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div align="center">So there we have it, the past two weeks in not so much detail, but you get the idea! </div><div align="center"></div>Shalicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13557661729056260835noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631169602018065519.post-55568119373729417172008-05-23T13:08:00.000-07:002008-12-10T13:30:12.796-08:00NICE weather!<div>I hope every one is having as much fun with this wild and crazy weather in May as we are!

YES... snake hunting, the real deal. Lucky us, we still have the undeveloped desert down the street! We went riding that morning and found a big fat 4-5ft. snake, Mark wanted to keep it, but since it was a harmless snake I talked him into letting the poor thing go. Later that evening, Mark is telling his buddy what we found, and all of the sudden without hesitation we are snake hunting for FHE. Of course we have to go find that snake, rite? So, Mark packs a car battery in a pack so we can have a spot light, and I get to pack Kaden in. (Yes, we took Kaden.) Our friends, lucky them had all their kids in bed! Off we go hiking around, Tank (our dog) is with us too. About 45min into the hike/walk, we notice Tank rustling around in a bush and sure enough, we hear a rattle...enjoy!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">(sorry the video is so choppy, we only had the phone)<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzmNsx-Zk5XmjFTuPFZZuxVxPoK1CbBnoEV5fgZ1ogZgifNwtFa1pBXRhqFNuMm_axd1NGrp8fqkbsj1T-Byg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div align="center"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwJKeRQyg493CqhxPY-K7lEDU2KyFw9kQDtYOsmjuxPmgIaeTad9f74OPcFPOewJQofdHve7KIFpKs1RpVm' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202660252068088066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7g5i5NZYMNzv0sds_aKeNthxr354HUDju6cAGBy7BoMMpQwEJtpTblOMwQ-r7PoSPqkt9dHMLoH24sXQX4TJZwghNFRG8QZnSA9yYK8v8ZNExbzl3iudxrH1Jrq6qaRb3CmEMU9NJY1O8/s320/Photo_051208_001.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center">THEN, This week for FHE...

It is interesting to see the kids go into the visitor center and automatically they have a certain reverence about them. Especially when they are at the feet of the Cristi's. They definitely were not perfect, but there was a change. The photography was beautiful, and the spirit was definitely there. If you haven't seen the pics. here is the link to the reflections web site <a href="http://www.reflectionsofchrist.org/">http://www.reflectionsofchrist.org/</a>, its way better in person.<br /></div><div> </div><br /><div>I wish I had my camera because the reflection pool outside had the fountains going which I haven't seen on since I was a kid. Anyways, I love the feeling and sense of peace we carry with us every time we leave the temple. I am so grateful we have one so close. I am really excited for the temple in Gilbert to be built! I wonder what it will look like?<br /><br />When we got home Kaden was being rarely quiet, and he was eating his dinner without any fuss, and being ohhhh so sweet. After I gave him a bath I was putting his diaper and jammies on when he became intensly quiet and his eyes started to go side to side, and he started moving his head like he was trying to see something behind him. Here is how our conversation went...<br />Me: Kaden what do you hear?<br />Kaden: No response<br />Me: Kaden what do you hear, is it a cricket?

They usually only do tours on Sat. but they made a special exception for us! They started us off with a little lecture about how they started the farm, and of coarse the cow's, how much they eat, what they eat, showed us some of their <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">medicine</span>, the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">different</span> kinds of milk, blah blah blah.

Everything is here for a reason right!<br /><p>- A sliced Carrot : looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye...and YES science now shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.<br />- A Tomato : has four chambers and is red. The heart is red and has four chambers. All of the research shows tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood food.<br />- Grapes : hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows that grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.<br />- A Walnut : looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds are on the nut just like the neo-cortex. We now know that walnuts help develop over 3 dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.<br />- Kidney Beans : actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.<br />- Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb : and more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones, making them weak. Thesefoods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.<br />- Eggplant, Avocadoes and Pears : target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? ... It takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).<br />- Figs : are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs male sterility.<br />- Sweet Potatoes : look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.<br />- Olives : assist the health and function of the ovaries<br />- Grapefruits, oranges, and other Citrus fruits : look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.<br />- Onions : look like body cells. Today's research shows that onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.</p>Shalicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13557661729056260835noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631169602018065519.post-21862360012818200022008-04-08T22:10:00.000-07:002008-12-10T13:30:21.131-08:00<div align="center">Kaden's new friend Gizmo is growing so fast. I guess it helps that Kaden likes to feed him every chance he can get. We are having so much fun with him, except he keeps escaping from his cage. Then he sneaks to the neighbors house where we have found him on many of occasions hiding under their bushes. (Yes, I am mean... We have the cage outside because I don't like animals living in the house.) So I guess it's not so bad that he over feeds him for now. Today we found Gizmo trying to sneak out of his cage and he got stuck half way through. Keep stuffing him Kaden, soon he'll be so fat there wont even be a chance. One less thing I have to worry about. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187108889602289202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzNx3ngBmXZEUNtXQI2CpxXQy9UJwdG2nNlGxRs9WF5lr_sMOTwcYryD3apIoGhukg_gPwQggEt4qyF_svbwOEnsSPDWnAvRWFfG5GS1GK6d7cNLTrEOiTIQp7gVS_5mJWGUStsNHrMdQn/s320/IMG_2275.JPG" border="0" /></div>Shalicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13557661729056260835noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631169602018065519.post-1598444196947890322008-04-01T14:00:00.000-07:002008-12-10T13:30:22.095-08:00Dunes!<div align="center">This past weekend we were able to take our last trip to the dunes for this season. ( It's already too hot.) We went with Matt and Candee and their kids, and some friends met us there. Even Chad and Matt H. showed up! What a treat for Mark, he loves having his friends around. This was Candee's first time there, and she did awesome! I wish I had some pics of her riding the huge bowls. Kaden loved the fact that he got to ride his quad literally ALL DAY! I felt bad because every time someone would leave to go on a ride he would try to follow. Those towering sand hills dont even phase him. (what am I in for?) No BIG mishaps, a few falls here and there, and Brik getting ran over by Kaden, total accident,but luckily no real injuries. BIG THANKS to and Joe and Erin for letting us take their trailer. A fun time was had by all.<br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184393405119327778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1CgxBHeIP5zN7fJq-Feicyub2WciDis_5YgUwa8igiNtRb5OH_OrO_SvKjbJudPqVDRpcjK95tuelFULwy1bbVves9TYC7Pzr8EYzJUweZSg04trv630IL-ffBX1K3RcAm8mh3T5_RKye/s320/IMG_2248.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p align="center">This is how Birk got ran over.
