Wow! It's been a LONG time!

Well, I guess I haven't kept up on blogging as much as I'd liked to! HA that's an understatement! Anyways, ALOT has changed since my last post...we sold our house, moved into our new one! Damian is almost 9 now, Matthew is 4 and Ashlyn almost 3! Wow my babies are growing up too fast! Damian is in Utah right now for his summer visit with his dad. I bought him a prepaid cell phone before he left so we can talk whenever we miss each other! He's such a great kiddo, I miss him like crazy!! I took Brian to the airport this morning at 4, with both the little ones...they are SO cranky as I expected but Brian refused to take a cab or leave his precious truck in the parking area over night. He's off to Jamaica this time...yes I'm jealous!! He's only there a few days then back for 2 days to celebrate his birthday and then he's off again for two weeks to Washington. He will get a layover in SLC on his way home and escort Damian home. I'm really bummed that my mom isn't getting to use the ticket this time and bring him home/stay a few weeks for a visit...on the other hand it would be great to see my family for a little bit if I got to use the ticket...oh well I guess this is cheaper...Brian's idea...I guess the money part is all that matters?

K&B Services has been "sleeping" for over a year now and I'm ready to get the ball rolling again! Since the kiddos are growing up, it gives me more time to focus on my career. I've been working with a wedding photographer Michelle with Peyronet Photography and also helping out my BFF Jenna with Fickel Zeal Photography! Which has been fun, but I'm now ready to have my own business and make some real money! So here's my thought, K&B services, prob won't be the name anymore...I'm directing the business more towards consulting and business management services with some interior decorating on the side of course! So for the next 6 months I've gotta make my game plan...I'm going to start some classes at TCC and get some certifications via the web! (Thank you technology!) The home "dining room" is getting a total makeover to my new office...Brian's office is big enough for us to share but let's be honest, I need my own space to think! ;)
So, if you know me well you know I'm not the "suzy homemaker entertainer" type and have never actually had anyone over for a fancy dinner in our dining room! So the space definitely will get used much more now!!

Damian and Matthew start school again in August, Ashlyn NEEDS to be in Pre-school...she is TOO smart and could benefit from the exposure. Now I just need to find one that is reasonable and meets my high expectations. When it comes to my babies I'm picky about where they spend their time, and believe me I check everything out...doesn't every good parent?

Anyways, life is good...I've been missing home ALOT lately, we haven't been to Utah in two years now ( the 2 days I spent over a year ago picking up Damian doesn't count) Soo yeah, I've been a little more than homesick. The fact that I've been battling depression doesn't help either, we had a miscarriage a few months ago...I was on BC so it probably wasn't a "healthy" pregnancy but here's the thing...my sister found out she was preggers the day before I did and we both would've been due right around my mom's birthday October 9th...not to mention two of my very loved friends are too preggers and we'd all be due about the same time. Was I "planning" on having another one? No...but does it mean that I can't wonder "what if?" and feel sad? I'm not sure... I think the part that made me the saddest was that Brian and Damian were SO excited...with Matthew and Ashlyn neither one of them were excited til closer to the middle but with this one they were thrilled even though I wasn't sure. The fact is we aren't ready to have another one...but a baby is always a blessing. I was thinking that maybe someday I'd have another one. I think adoption is the only way that I'll be a mommy again, I've always wanted to adopt someday. Brian isn't so sure about adoption, so who knows. It's definitely not in the plans anytime soon anyways! Well, that's my long drawn out mess of words! Maybe I'll keep up with this better? Feels good to let it out! Ahhhhh :)

Nice Spring Day...until Ashlyn starts eating MUD!

Just a few pics from today...the kids were super cute playing outside! I just wanted to share :)


Damian was SO worried about his scooter because he was riding it in the mud...so tomorrow if it's warm, I told him he can get in his shorts and wash his scooter the way Brian washes his car...he was excited about that!Image

Matty Loves the slide! He was being so cute!
Image

Ashlyn didn't want anything to do with anyone else, she wanted to do her own thing...Image Matty was in such a cute mood!

ImageDamian was so worried about his scooter...he didn't even want to play catch!
Image
Soooo Ashlyn, took matters into her own hands...I saw her over by Damian's scooter and was hoping she wasn't doing what I thought she was...if you know my daughter you already know...
ImageShe was cleaning the scooter! With her finger...then licking the mud! And it's not that she did this once...she kept doing it! She cried when I took her away from it to wash her up!! I swear I feed this child!
Image

Just a few things....

Okay, so this is short and sweet....Tonight Brian and I went to a Wedding! It was VERY nice and great to get out of the house and mingle!

We had some champane...two glasses...but it doesn't take much to make me "feel" tipsy, anyways when we got home Brian's mom took some pics of us :0)

Image


He's So Sweet!
Image


Also, when I was getting ready to go Damian wanted to do MY make-up...I told him he could on a day that I wasn't going out...so he put it on himself...I love my son!!!! And I am SO glad he's okay being himself even if he wants to wear mommy's make-up...

Back to normal....

So, today I am home and everything is back to normal! Brian picked me up last night from my sleep study. That went okay, the hardest thing is that they hook up to 28 Electrodes to your scalp and face, 3 to your chest, one annoying wire on your finger, two bands tightened around your chest and stomach, 4 monitors on your legs, and a oxygen thingy in your nose, with LOTS of tape and gross glue stuff! Oh yeah, and a camera watching you, and a amplified speaker so they can hear you breathing! Then they say, "okay, sleep good" yeah...its hard to sleep... but I did...for 8 hours!
Yesterday, I couldn't take my medicine so I was a zombie! They made me lay in a dark room every 1 1/2 hours for 20 minutes...I fell asleep everytime...then they want you to stay awake in between your naps...yeah right, I fell asleep everytime in between the naps, they kept having to wake me up.
I can't even explain how much my medicine helps me! It's crazy. So today I took my meds and I feel SO irritable, and shaky! Hopefully, this feeling goes away by tomorrow! But it's all over so I'm happy about that!

The Sleep Study pics...Damian didn't understand so I took a few pics to better explain....
This isn't even HALF of the machines...LOTS more...but I didn't want to scare him too bad ;)
