Wedding Countdown

Okay so I am getting married in 50 days. Soo.....that is 7 weeks. That means I have some goals I need to achieve before then. They are:

1. No more pop, treats, fatty foods.

2. Hip Hop Abs Every Day!! When its not a freakin blizzard outside, running and taking the kids for walks.

3. Teeth whitening here I come.

4. Tanning will begin next week.

5. Cleaner house and more organized so I can start this new part of my life FRESH!!!

All of these things will help out with my depression/sadness funk I am in lately. I need to quit relying on others for my happiness or for their acceptance or something. I am a great person. I dont need everyone else's approval to think that.

April Showers bring May Flowers....What does April Snow bring?

Random thoughts going through my head right now are.....

I just put the deposit down on our wedding. Reality kicked in.
June 19, 2010 we will be OFFICIAL! Sweet :)

I forgot how much babies cost. Oh but they are so dang cute.

Jax had his first T-Ball game last night...in the freezing cold. They only hit twice and played in the field twice. It was really fun to watch him. He is getting so big! His team is sponsored by Ace :) He slept in his hat last night. Wont take the thing off.

I'm working part time at a food place here in town. Gets me out of the house and around people plus brings in a little mula, without having to send my kids to a sitter. Gotta love it :)

Tay & Jax are going to the barber shop tonight. Shaggy headed boys are long overdo for a haircut.

Macy eats a LOT. I mean A LOT for her being only 3 months. I cant keep up sometimes. But she is healthy and that's all that matters.

Pretty sure it looks like January outside right now.

Can't tell if its allergies or colds in our home lately. Stuffed up!

I think I need a little break. I'm pretty cranky. Thanks for putting up with me some days babe. You are a tough tough man.

Mother's Day weekend, I am planting our garden. I am so excited!

Taylor built our doggies a dog run. It's almost done. It will be nice to put them in there without having to keep them chained up. Hopefully they stay in it.

Swimmin Saturday

We are trying to do a fun activity each weekend since its the only time we can all be together. This last weekend the boys went swimming while I sat and watched with Macy. They had so much fun. Taylor quickly remembered how tired swimming makes you. When you're little, you have the energy of hummingbird all the time. When you get older, that energy quickly dwindles to the energy of a sea turtle. So...Taylor had to fight his tired old legs to keep up with Jax. The diving board has never scared Jax. NEVER. So, we threw on the arm floaties and a life jacket and let him have at it. Taylor was of course there with him but Jax wasn't the least bit afraid to jump in without Taylor being in the water. It was so fun to watch these boys have fun. Here is some video footage.

Macy's Blessing

Good Morning! These boys obviously need haircuts. hehe!

Its blurry but he was loving finding all the eggs. Jade was wondering if she could eat them.

Jax is a goofball. Never once would he look at the camera. Look at the forehead on my noggin. Oh my! But on a good note, Macy's blessing dress she is wearing was MY blessing dress 23, almost 24, years ago. My late Grandma Mogle made it. Its sure special to me.

This last weekend was filled with fun! We didn't make it to Goblin Valley (Taylor had to work..boooooo!!) but we did get to see everyone. Everyone meaning the Mogle Family. Sunday morning was Easter. The bunny left some cute farm animal shaped eggs hidden around the house. Jax is getting too smart for the Easter Bunny's hiding techniques. He found them pretty darn quick. We then went to Grandpa's and ate some Easter Breakfast. It was yummy and fun to sit and b.s. with everyone. Macy got to see a lot of her family for the first time at the breakfast. After shoving our faces with waffles, we preceded home to get ready for Macy's blessing. Of course Taylor's pants were dirty. Thought they were clean but they had sat on a shelf that wasn't cleaned off before placing them on it so the whole one pant leg was filthy. Nice. He wore jeans and a nice button up shirt. It was all good though. As for Jax, he wore jeans too. He has grown out of the nice khakis that I swear I just bought him. Oh well. They looked handsome, it was a sweet and simple blessing.

Now for the blessing. My Grandpa Mogle has blessed me, my siblings, Jax and now Macy. With Jax, he called him 'Braxton' in the blessing. haha. Gotta love him. He had to redo it. So with Macy, I have been telling him her name LOUD and CLEAR each and every time I have seen him or talked to him within the last couple weeks.... MACY M-A-C-Y TAYLOR LEAKE L-E-A-K-E........ That morning at the breakfast, I wrote it down for him. Or it may have even been the night before. Anyway...The blessing began with a great prayer from Aunt Susie and leading by Bishop Jensen. It was between conference sessions so Bishop and one of his counselors, Brother Sanders, came and conducted the blessing. It was nice. So..my Grandpa and priesthood holding Uncles got in the circle and my Grandpa began to speak... LACY Taylor Leake. The Uncles "It's Macy" one uncle called her "Gracie". LOL! Good ol' Grandpa. He fixed it and proceeded to give her an amazing blessing. Bishop Jensen then gave a few words and spoke of Christ and his resurrection, it being Easter and all. It was very nice. I want to thank all of those who came and participated. My favorite part about it was that Macy wore my blessing dress...and my Grandma Mogle made it. Thank you Grandma. We love and miss you. This month it will be 7 years since you passed. Continue to watch over us.

We then went back to the Mogle Home and had some fun! Laughed, told stories, ate! After being there and hearing the things that were spoken, Taylor may leave me. haha. My uncles can be groosum (spelling?). Babe, you are a trooper to handle it all so well. Oh my family is great. I love them so so much. I love when we are all there. Taylor loves them and loves how close and strong of a family they are. Welcome to it :)
