For the last 5 years!
Being a home health nurse has taught me a lot of things. One thing is that we should be thankful for good health EVERY DAY! This is one of my long time patients who died on September 21st. I have been putting this off for awhile because I have just gotten to the point that I don't cry when I think or talk about Jason. Jason was my long time patient for 5 years. Although as a nurse I know that a person with as many problems Jason had could literally die at any second, when I got the call he had passed away, I was still surprised. I am so glad that he was at home when he died instead of in the stinkin hospital (which he hated). Jason had spina bifida and was in a wheelchair for most of his life. We were always battling a pressure sore. There were times I saw him twice a day, sometimes only 3 times a week. It just depended on how bad his wounds were. Needless to say I got very attached to him. Now, I'm not gonna lie.... his house was actually scary, along with a lot of his friends. Who by the way were never anything but wonderful to me! I know when people saw him, they thought he was mean and scary. I literally had to schedule my visits so that I could come right home, get naked in the laundry room, put my clothes in the washer and hit the shower. He smoked, (more than just cigarettes), and it wasn't uncommon to have a whole bunch of people there listening to Jack Johnson and drinking who knows what.. But ya know, Jason was always so appreciative for what I did for him. He was always pleasant despite all of his problems. He tried to make things as easy for me as possible. He was so thoughtful and was just a great person. He would give anyone the shirt off his back, and believe me....he had nothing! I just want to remember how much I loved him, and what a privilege it was to get to know him like I did. I MISS YOU JAS!! XOXOXOXOX

MY how time flies!!!!
Happy anniversary to us!! November 12th marks our 15 year anniversary!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! Well, you may want to pee before you see these pictures. SO FUNNY!! So, how do 2 people, completely opposite, stay together for 15 YEARS? Heck if I know. I do know that we were WAY to young to get married, we were basically complete idiots, and I STILL completely ADORE him!! Life with Chad is never boring. One of my favorite things about him is that he constantly makes me laugh. He has some stupid comment for everything. Oh, and who wouldn't love the fact that for some ridiculous reason he thinks I hung the moon. This is so selfish, but I have to admit the fact that at the end of the day, I know he loves me.... He makes me feel good about myself, and I LOVE that! Anyway, enjoy the wedding announcement. Chad begged me not to post it....wahahaha

Caught up for now!!
Man, I have been off the wagon! Lots of pics just waiting to be posted are finally in. Its so fun to re-live the last 4 monthes! Time goes by so fast, my kids are growing like weeds! It is so fun to watch them change and grow, but it also make me sad!! We had a ball at halloween. Halloween is Chaddy boys favorite holiday, he can't resist scaring the kids. He had out the crow bar and ketchup before I got home from the salem trick or treat. The kids are prepped for it so Syd and Dev brush it off and laugh, but tiny wasn't going along with the joke as planned. She purked up after diggin into grandmas chilli. After all the running around we headed down to my moms and had chilli and watched scary movies. Good times, good times.
More scariness
All the Huff Grandkids, Jordan, (Eriks), Devin, Sydnee, (mine), Morgan and Mylee (lindsey's), and lil Shel shel (mine). We started off the sugar rush at the salem city trick or treat, what a GORGEOUS day!!
The 24th of July, aka my FAVORITE Holiday
My dad's birthday is on the 24th of July. That is why we have the parade and celebration in Spanish Fork on the 2th of July. It has nothng to do with the pioneers. It is my favorite holiday! I LOVE it all, the parade, the rodeo, the unsanitary danger of the carnival, I look forward to it every year!! This year we all went over to the Payson pool after the parade to chillax with the fam, we had a ball!
Summer nights at the funny farm
We love having marshmellow and wienee roasts at night out back. Chad has made us a little fire pit and log benches and we sit out by the fire! We love living on a funny farm!!
St. George on Syd's 9th birthday
We took a little trip to St. George on Syd's birthday. Uncle Shane and Gradma Karen were going to see Halle (Shane's daughter) down in St. George, so we decided to go to. The kids had lots of fun swimming and eating junk of course. They love playing with Halle! Michael Jackso had just died so that was playing on the radio and TV non-stop!
Syds team takes city and State!!
The Rebels! Sydnee's team did not loose a game all year! They won both city and STATE championship in the falcon league. The picture in the boat is at the Fiesta Days parade, (my favorite holiday!) This is her first year in this league. Honestly, all credit goes to the coach Mark Wilson and his daughter Sydney, who was their pitcher. She seriously pitched like a teenager. Hardly ever did anyone actually HIT one of her pitches. It was a lot of fun. Doubtful we will have another year like that! Syd was of course the runt of the team. She held her own taking advantage of being short, making it hard for the pitcher to get a strike in the strike zone, squatting down, HILARIOUS! She played 2nd base most of the time. We had a BALL watching her! 
Ball games
Oh ya baby!
My little athlete, he hits homers, yes in t-ball, it is so fun to watch him. We laugh our heads off at Dev's ball games because he is an ALL STAR! He catches pop flies, scores home runs, he is awesome! I tell him he is my scholarship child!! I love running into friends at school that I haven't seen forever. I am back and forth from Benji to Spanish all May and June, but LOVE it!!
