ReCaP oF 20O9

Ok sO tHis A BriEf rE-cAp oF tHe laSt yEaR.....

JaNuaRy through aPriL were pretty uneventful, other than my GIANT SWELLING belly.

The sweet month of MaY brought Miss Allysa Kathleen....what an amazing little gift she is. Also Kohl graduated from Kindergarten.

JunE, jUlY and AuGusT was my roller coaster of a summer.

I moved from Prescott 2 Snowflake back 2 Prescott.....

From in a relationship 2 being Engaged 2 being Single...

but had a fabulous trip to UTAH to visit my bestest friend,

this trip helped me get back on track and remember the things and people that really matter.

Kohl also started first grade and I absolutely LOVE

his teacher.....she's a doll. He can read and write and is getting too smart for his mama!

It was a crazy summer one that I wish not to repeat EvEr but one that I grew tremendously because of...and for that I'm extremely grateful.

SeMpteMber was a great month!!! Kohl turned 7 and Allysa was blessed....we were surrounded by family and friends for both of these events.

OcToBEr was fun as well....I made another trip up to UTAH this time to go to Conference.....I love SaLt Lake, I love getting to be in the same room as the prophet...I love the spirit that is felt there, it's an amazing experience...

road trip to spring conference anyone???

nOvEMbeR started off with a bang...I received my

Patriarchal blessing, oh my goodness it was by far one of the most humbling and amazing events to happen in my life. It helped to remind me just how much my Heavenly Father loves me, it brought so much peace to my life. I'm so grateful for the gospel and the joy it has brought to my life.

Also during this month I went to the premier of

NEW MOON.

I know it may seem silly to mention it but I was super excited and did count down the days to it.....it was so much fun even if I was surrounded by 14 year old screaming girls....I'm still Team Vampire, although Jacob made it a hard decision.....haha.

DeCemBeR was filled with a 20 hour (felt like 5 days) long trip to San Antonio, Texas to see my little brother graduate from college. I was so extremely proud....I know that no matter where he goes in life or what he does he will succeed.

Christmas was so much fun this year.....surrounded by my family it was a wonderful holiday.

So that's it in a nutshell......pretty busy, kinda crazy.....but worth every minute of it.

Wishing everyone a safe and wonderful 2010...

I hope that it will bring us all

happiness and love.

Lots of Love- MeGHan

My Prince....

My son is amazing...

The love that he carries in his heart for me is one the of the greatest gifts my Heavenly Father has given me.

While at dinner the other night my brother and parents were asking me about a "potential" date of mine...what he does, where he lives, what he's like....the usual questions one might ask...

and then a little voice speaks up and says....

"is he a good man?" and it's my precious son.

I was blown away....what a simple yet important question...

and that from a 7 year old...WOW!

I know that whoever may come into my life he will have to get approval from those closest to me, but I must say the one approval that will be most important to me will be that of Kohl's.

Because the world would be a much better place if there were more MEN like my son.

HaLLoWeeN

I realize I'm rather late on posting these.....but better late than never right???
So- I love LOVE LOVE Halloween....not sure if it's cause I can play dress up or the fact that I can have candy in the house to last me till Easter, or if it's because I love watching Kohl ring the door bell and saying "trick or treat"

but it's one of my favorite holidays....

This year was even more fun, as we had Allysa joining in on the celebration!!! So much fun...here they are...

Don't you just love my Frankie and Flutterby??? I sure do!

QuoTes FrOm mY CrAzY maN.....

So Kohl does say some of the funniest things EVER.....really he does. I think sometime when I'm not so busy or not so lazy I shall write a book w/ all of his silly sayings in them.....until then here's some of my favs:

*My Brain hatched an idea

*My hand feels like a stuffed animal

*Room at the Point Hilton- $130.00, Breakfast in Bed- $30.00, Goggles at the Lazy River- $6.50........Hearing your son scream "OH MY GOSH THIS ROOM COMES WITH IT'S OWN PEN".......PRICELESS!!! !!

*You woke me from my beauty sleep....picture him all grouchy about it also!

*Mom even though I'm seven now I'm still always going to need you

*I'm gonna pull out my tongue and slap you with it

*Mom I was just speaking hypothetically

And my alltime favorite......

I'm not even as cool as a parrot!!!

Our New Family Pics......

We recently had some family pictures taken and I couldn't be more happy with how they turned out. Marisa always manages to capture the love shared between me and the kids. What a blessing my children are to me....I love them both dearly.

They both have their own personalities....

Kohl is my sweetheart, the shoulder I can lean on, the one to always brighten my day when I'm feeling down, he's 7 going on 20 sometimes, with the things he says and the thoughts he has, he is full of faith and radiates happiness.

Allysa is my little firecracker, she's spoiled and so stinking cute and knows it....she has everyone around her wrapped around her little finger...I have a feeling she's gonna be a handfull when she's older...and I can't wait.

I hope the two of them will always be close....I hope that Allysa knows how much her brother loves her....I hope Kohl will always strive to be an example to her.

LOVE

AND LAUGHTER.....

WORKING ON CREATING OUR OWN

HAPPY EVER AFTER!!!!

How does one begin to define themselves? For me....I am a mother, and a proud one at that. I have two beautiful children who complete me. They each have such unique personalities and the love and joy they have brought into my life are among the greatest of blessings. One day I hope to find a man who will love and cherish both myself and my children, but until that day comes I am content with my little life. A good friend (actually one of the best) recently told me that "I need to be proud of who I am, where I have been and where I am going." So that is my mission....I have my struggles and my tests, but I have learned how important letting go can be, more importantly is trusting my Heavenly Father. My faith has been increased so much because of the recent changes in my life, now more than ever I know that I am on the right track, and that the choices I am making today will lead me towards an enternal happiness.
