What am I doing AWAKE?!

It's 4:30 am. I have been awake since 3:30, what am I doing awake?!!!! I HATE it when I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep. David was working late and so I fell asleep on the couch at about 10:30. Finally woke up enough to go to bed at 1 am, and then less than 4 hours later I'm awake. When I wake up like this I usually wake up with all kinds of worries running through my mind. First one was that I had put the kids to bed with out brushing their teeth and they had lots of candy from Cameron's b-day party pinata. I was thinking of all the sugar sitting on their teeth. I know, nothing I can do about that in the middle of the night! Next worry? I am worried I am raising a bunch of spoiled kids who don't know how to work! I know, another thing you can't fix in the middle of the night. This is so hard for me though because it's so much easier for me to clean than to involve my kids. Yes, we do the Saturday jobs and all, but I need more consistency. This is my challenge! Third worry, I feel awful after everything I ate over the last 5 days or so. Back to working out and cutting the sweets! Cake and ice cream and donuts and Cafe Rio (2X's) isn't working so well for my body! So that's what is keeping me up till the wee hours of the night! I am enjoying reading every ones blogs though! Keep it up for my late night reads!!

(I just re-read my blog and realized if I'm waking up in the middle of the night for THIS than I'm in trouble when my kids hit the teenage years.)

I know how you feel. I hate being awake because I feel like i can't do anything but be on the computer. Did you ever get to go back to bed? Sometimes if I feel like a nap but not to tired and lay down I have a hard time sleeping at night. I to am trying to get Noah clean with me. He isn't to bad you just have to keep telling him to pick up his toys a million times. But it's working. Hope you had a fun weekend with Alise and I am glade you got to go out with David:)

I hate it, being a mom and worrying early in the morning about nothing. I did that the other night, I don't have anything for easter baskets yet. and have no time to run to town with NO kids.

I do that way more often than I should. Chad always tells me to QUIT thinking and go to sleep! Easier said than done.

You are so stinkin cute! The things us moms do to our bodies! I do have to ask how the training is going?? I would love to say I have stopped eating candy but NO! I figure I am running enough but eating enough healthy stuff is hard for me to have the energy to run 8 miles is hard! I hope you get more sleep!

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to change up, little specks to take off, small touch ups before th

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah,

TRIALS

We have been preparing for over 4 years for this trial. But nothing, no matter how much you knew it could and most likely would happen, can prepare you when your son's doctor tells you now is the time. "Your son needs open heart surgery." August 24th, 2005, Jason was born in Las Vegas, NV. He was perfect and healthy looking in every way. At his 2 week check up the doctor heard a heart murmur and recommended I take him to the cardiologist. I mentioned that I was flying out to WA in a few days and so I'd probably go when I got back, 3 weeks later. The cardiologist doctor called me the next day after visiting with the pediatrician, asking me to go in to have Jason checked out. It was late and he was willing to stay after hours for us to get there. After an ultra sound of his heart (echo) the cardiologist diagnosed Jason with a very small hole in his heart. Nothing that needed to be fixed right away, unless it started causing problems. So Jason started going every 3 month
