A "bump" or two in the road
I am a little hesitant to blog this since it could get back to my kids. But, I'm hoping it will relieve some guilt! Of our 7 puppies we had a few months ago, the kids begged us to keep one. We let them even though we already have 2 dogs. All 3 of the kids LOVE this dog. His name is Patch and he is sooooooooo cute. He is black with a white patch over half of his face and white paws. The kids go out everyday and play with him. Even Shelbee walks outside and yells "PATCH"! Devin especially loves to play with this puppy. So, Saturday night, I HAD to run to Payson market for a little more sugar. How pathetic. I already had enough to fix my sugar addiction for a month. The kids and Chad were watching a movie, so I "snuck" out. I'm driving down my driveway and all of the sudden, I felt a thump.....thump underneath the tahoe. AHHHHHHHH.... I knew immediately what I had done. My stomach dropped and I started to bawl, I stopped and looked in the rear view mirror and saw this bump in the driveway. I was freaking out. I rolled down the window praying that patch wasn't crying, and there was only silence. I am frantically trying to call Chad and it felt like an eternity before he answered the phone. When he answered I was bawling and I said, "I ran over the puppy"! He came right out, luckily the kids didn't seem to notice Chad had come outside. All I could think about was how upset the kids would be! Chad said, we'll just have tell them he's lost or something. So, when I came back in the house, the kids knew I had been crying and were asking me what was wrong. Of course I am way too big of a chicken to fess up. I told them I was just tired and had a lot of paperwork that I was behind on. The next day we went to church and the kids didn't seem to notice since we go at 9. But, when we got home the drama began. As soon as we got home from church, the kids were looking for patch. To my surprise Sydnee was bawling the most. We were busy going to Chad's moms then my moms, and gone pretty much the whole day. But, we managed to fit in the drive up and down our road hollering out the window yelling "Patch, Patch"! Talk about a tear jerker! Once again, I win mother of the year! They seem to be okay a few days later. Chad told the kids we could have some more baby puppies soon that they could keep one again. Every once in awhile Syd or Devin will say "I miss Patch" just out of blue. The salt in the wound will continue for a long time I'm sure. HAPPY EASTER, SORRY KIDS!

MY LIL SIS, THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!
In case you don't know, this is my little sis - Lindsey. For some unkown reason, I got lucky enough to have her for my sister! I just want her to know how much she means to me, she saves my bacon on a daily basis. She is ridiculously gorgeous, kind & patient. I can't imagine my life without her, I totally know that I DO NOT deserve her! She is always happy and is tougher than any other girl I know. Today is her birthday and I want her to know how ABSOLUTLEY WONDERFUL she is!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDS! I had a great time digging up these old pictures of us, which I CAN NOT quit laughing about.
One of my favorite memories growing up is of watching her do gymnastics. I could tell her to go out on the back lawn and do a round off, back handspring, back flip, back tuck, and she seriously would do it! When I think of her as a little girl I picture her with her dark black hair, freckles, lots of missing teeth, a tube top, shorts, and moon boots. (Which my mom still gets crap for). I also remember biting, yes biting her on the butt!! This was long before twilight, so I'm not sure where I came up with that method of torture....... I found it hilarious at the time. I woul totally open up a can if one of my kids did that! There seriously was a oval bruise days later with teeth marks!! Oh my gosh, wild days out on the farm at the Huff's.

The Funny Farm
Well, we do live on a funny farm, and absolutely love it! We sold our subdivision living, brand new home 4 years ago and bought this 50 year old home with ground just so we could "live out". I wouldn't go back for anything. We love living out here. Since Syd is 8 now, she can do stock shows. Chad of course is in his glory. I am trying to get into it, but...... well they all look the same to me!! We got Syd a lamb this past week for the Benjamin and Spanish Fork stock show. Syd is so excited, she named her lamb cotton and has been working with it every night, pulling it around on a halter. I think Chad wanted her to show a steer since that is his "happy place" , but I convinced him that she is a little, well too little to be pulling a big old fat steer around. The Benjamin show has a jr. show that Devin can participate in, but we are still up in the air on whether it will be a bummer lamb ( a small lamb) or a baby steer. Both kids are eating it up, and look forward to working with the animals after school. I think its been really good for them and teaching them a little responsibility!

1) A really good husband who makes me laugh everyday!
2)THREE beautiful and healthy kids who keep me VERY busy!
3) FABULOUS parents, in laws, brothers & sisters
4) My education/nursing license which I shed blood. sweat & tears to get.
5)AWESOME friends, I really don't know why I deserve any of you! But I LOVE ya!!
