Lately I have been emotional and worrying about everything. I started thinking about all the good in my life and all the things I don't have to worry about and decided to write a list of the many many things that I am grateful for. It is easy to see what is going on wrong, rather than remembering all that is going good. So here are just a few things I am grateful for.
- My husband! Whenever I get stressed I call him and just tell him everything. He listens and then shows me how things will work out.
- A healthy beautiful 8 1/2 month Kaylee!! She is soo much fun and such a joy in my life
- A warm, safe home to live in with a loving an amazing ward.
- Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!!
- Having my family live close by and having the best family ever. I call my mom almost everyday and I know my dad is there if I ever need anything...even help with a Resume. :)
- Having a Father-in-Law that lives close and is soo cute with Kaylee and 2 Mother-in-Laws that are so kind and such fun Grandma's
- A great job that works with staying home being a mom. And working with a great friend Challae who is the cutest mom ever...who watches Kaylee while I do a visit or two during the week.
- Having a sister-in-law Kierston who is such a great mom...live close to my work so she can watch Kaylee when I have my work meetings every Thursday.
- BJ obtaining such a GREAT new job with such fun people and a place he feels like he can continue to learn and grow
- AMAZING friends that are there for me whenever I need someone to talk to.

One of our neighbors gave us AWESOME tickets to the Ute vs. Colorado State game October
23rd. We took Kaylee with us and had a BLAST. 
ha ha Not the best pictures but it shows how great our seats were.
Kaylee is saying "GO UTES!"
he he I love Kaylee's face in this one!
Yummy Hot Cocoa
We are hiding from the rain and cold
Kaylee did AMAZING in the rain. It was pouring rain for the first half of the game. Kaylee hung out with me in my poncho until she ripped it up. Thankfully it stopped raining and was great weather the rest of the game.

In case you couldn't figure it out...BJ is a tree and Kaylee and I are Owls
I wish I got a picture of my dad, mom, and brother. My mom is always taking pictures of everybody else. I need to be better to take more pictures of her!!! :) But she was a pumpkin (well she wore a pumpkin shirt)
My sister and Desiree
KAYLEE
Yes I made her owl costume and yes it was a lot more work than I thought it was going to be...but I was so happy how it turned out!
The wings I originally made for her were WAY too big. In fact they ended up being my wings! So I just had to guess in the size for her wings. But it worked out.
Kaylee, Desiree, and Travis
I had to post this. This is my Aunt Becky and her family. I just thought their costumes were soo clever....not to mention my aunt made all but the Batman costume and Cat woman mask. SO impressive and super cute!!!Here are some pictures from our Halloween Party. Thanks Nina for taking pictures since I once again couldn't find my camera. :)
Nina- what a cute Angel with a cute prego belly. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!!
Nina and Tanner are always the life of the party so we are sooo glad they came and danced and partied it up with us!
Challae and I planned the party. Challae brought decorations, cooked a lot of food, brought drinks, and helped set up and clean up. SHE IS AMAZING!!! You can't tell by this picture but she was the dog catcher, her husband Graeme was a fire hydrant and her little Brinlee was a dog. Such a cute idea!
Ha ha BEST COSTUME ever!! Rachel, Gavin and Eric. I am soo glad they came!!
This is Nina and Tanner's friend Breanna and ?? All I know is Breanna is freakin awesome and the best dancer out there....besides you Nina :)
ha ha ha I LOVE this picture. Poor Nina couldn't bob for any apples...well she could, she just couldn't get any with her mouth. But she was such a good sport!
Rachel the Nun
Tanner being silly
Impressive moves Green's. Oh and yes that is their curtains as their costumes. ha ha LOVE it!
ha ha...Ya I cheated. I could NOT get a apple either. So I just pretended and pulled myself out of the line. Tanner kept taking the small apples out. I kept telling him that I have a SMALL mouth and I need a small apple.
Kaylee slept for most of the party but woke up enough to dance and meet everyone.

Today was a pretty good day. I dropped Kaylee off to my friend Challae's house at 8:20 am and then ran did a few diabetic visits for work and came back to get Kaylee at 9:45 am. I then took her home and she went down for her morning 2 hour nap. I got a few things done around the house and finished up my Halloween costume and FINALLY she woke up. We then layed on the couch together and played Peek-A-Boo together for a good half hour. KAYLEE loves it and I love playing with her. I hide behind a pillow and she will sneak her little face around the pillow and then give me the biggest grin. I just laugh and yell Peek-A-Boo Kaylee!! She just giggles. It is now her favorite game. In fact she plays it in the car all the time....especially when she gets tired. It is the cutest thing to look back in the mirror and see her hide under the blanket and then poke her little head out. It is probably not the best game for me to play while I am driving because I can't help but to keep looking at her in the rear view mirror. But it is soo cute- especially when she just giggles in her high pitched squeal. Well I got off subject here....
Kaylee then ate some lunch and then I put her in the tub. Usually I give Kaylee her bath at nightime but I knew tonight I was going to be busy and BJ was planning on taking Kaylee grocery shopping with him so I figured I would just do it now. Kaylee really likes playing in the bath. She also really likes to STAND up in the bathtub- which is always fun ;)
After bathtime we had some quiet time. I could tell she was getting tired but not quite tired enough to put into bed (I hate hearing her cry and she cries when it is too early or past her bedtime) so I put her in her swing and put in her baby einstein. It wasn't very long before I saw her droopy eyes getting heavier and heavier. Kaylee then went down for yet another nap. I then got on the computer and messed around...wasting time pretty much. I got my scripture reading done and then started reading a few magazines when Kaylee woke up.
As soon as Kaylee woke up I packed her into the car and drove back to my friend Challae's house so I could go do two more visits for work. I then went and picked Kaylee up and called BJ to get a few things ready because I was going to have to head straight to Pack Meeting for Cub Scouts. I ran home and handed Kaylee off to BJ and quickly got dressed for my meeting.
When I got home- Kaylee and BJ weren't home yet. So I finished a few things for work and then waited till they got home. I gave Kaylee her bottle and read to her for a few minutes and then put her to bed.
I put her to bed. :( I could tell she was so tired and even though I really wanted to play with her I let her go to sleep.
Well at 10:00pm all I wanted to do was go pick Kaylee up and cuddle with her. BJ was out playing Basketball with some of his neighborhood buddies and Kaylee had been asleep for a few hours. But all I wanted to do was just cuddle with her...so that is exactly what I did!
I opened the door and quickly picked her up and brought her to bed with me. She fell right back asleep. Well since I move a lot..she kept waking up. It was dark in our room so she kept using her fingers to touch my face but after awhile she started pushing me and letting me know she was tired and wanted to go back to bed. It took me a bit to give in but I just held her for awhile and rocked with her in her room and then put her back to bed.
I know that it was selfish cuddling but I couldn't help myself. I love Kaylee so much! I know it seems like I was home with Kaylee all day but too me those few hours that I had Challae watch Kaylee and the time I left her to go to Pack Meeting were FOREVER long. I missed her. I am so used to being with Kaylee all the time that I just miss her anytime we are apart. I know this may sound wierd to some but Kaylee seriously is one of my best friends.
I like working as a RN but truly- I would be so content...actually..soo very happy to just be home with my sweet little Kaylee Bean full time! I mean- how great is it being a Mom!?!

This is BJ, just wanted to post the latest deal:
Happy Dealing!
Since halloween is coming around, I decided we should spend $2.25 for all of the above!
Well, you have to take into account my first candy shopping spree where I spent just under $25 - since that gave me the ability to not spend any money the next time!
Regardless, $27 to help make those kids teeth rot (and our own!) is great
You should have seen the people in the store -
"You got $50 worth of stuff for free!?" "Did your wife teach you?"
Something like that :)
Happy Dealing!
